Recently, the heavy snow in the northern region has caused inconvenience to the people's travel, so I often see this scene on the Internet, groups of people wearing specially customized red vests braving the cold to sweep the snow on the street, and there are people next to them holding high red flags and waving flags and shouting, and these highlight moments happened to be photographed by "professional photographers", this red is particularly dazzling in the snow, and is called "red snow sweeping" by netizens.
Don't understand what the real meaning of such a dazzling event is? Is there a task above, and a deliberate pose below? Or do you really want to do good for the masses from the heart?
Over the years, there have been a lot of activities like "red snow clearing", whether it is government agencies, schools, communities, or even enterprises and institutions, you can see this dazzling activity, picking up garbage, sweeping the floor, assisting in directing traffic, snow clearing...From the picture, it seems that it is really in full swing, but in fact, only the people involved know it.
I was fortunate to participate in such a dazzling activity, the school organized parent-child activities to pick up garbage on the street, said that there is a quota limit, each class only needs 2 people, considering that participating in this kind of social activity can promote the child to care for the environment and increase the sense of social responsibility, I enthusiastically signed up.
On the day of the event, the person in charge of the organization came late, and then each person sent a bottle of spring water, wearing a custom vest, holding a garbage bag in one hand, holding a tool in one hand, walking around the designated street, picking up the garbage seen and putting it into the garbage bag, the most important thing is that the person in charge of the activity wants to take pictures, a red vest leans over to pick up garbage, the figure of loading garbage, in the pedestrian hurry, I have to say that it is really dazzling, and then pull a banner to take a group photo of all the staff, the event is over, and we can lead the children home.
I looked at the time, and it took less than an hour in total.
During this period, I was particularly embarrassed that an uncle who was riding a bicycle said to us, "What's the point of you picking up garbage here, if you educate your children, you have to go to a place where there is a lot of garbage to pick it up, and there are sanitation workers cleaning it every day." ”
yes, why don't we go and pick it up in a place where there's a lot of garbage?
Since then, I haven't participated in such an event, and I really don't think it's pointless, even a little misleading, do they think that there is so little garbage on the streets every day? Picking up trash is so easy? Is the job of a sanitation worker so easy?
Just like the "red snow sweeping" spread on the Internet, the snow on the street was professionally cleaned by a special department, and they didn't sweep it because it wasn't time. In these dazzling activities, isn't the red vest a little too bright? Are the participants' white gloves too clean? Are the clothes and shoes not suitable for the status of such a job? And so on all of this makes these dazzling activities seem so "unprofessional".
These activities in recent years really make people think about whether their existence is too formalistic. And in fact, it is meaningless, and it even costs people and money!
From top to bottom, everyone has their own scope of work, and doing their job well is much better than doing some bells and whistles.
If we really have these funds or energy, we should take care of these practitioners in the society, give them more respect, better treatment, so that they can also shine in their own positions, isn't it better?
