Over the past few years, Chinese society has been plunged into a crisis of economic turmoil and disparity between the rich and the poor. In the ** and discussions circulating on the Internet, the footage of the homeless people living in the bridge cave has caused a lot of controversy. Some see this as hype and idleness, and question its authenticity. However, this is not fiction. Behind these images is a true portrayal of the plight of many people.
This is not a simple phenomenon. The deterioration of the economic situation has led to the relocation of a large number of foreign-funded enterprises, and the number of domestic unemployment has risen rapidly. Young people are running around but have no way out, making wandering their only option. Families with financial constraints, forced foreclosures, unsuccessful entrepreneurs, and seniors who have lost their income** can all be part of this group.
It is no accident that the phenomenon of living under bridges and caves has repeatedly attracted attention. When I was young, I also lived in the bridge and cave. The economic environment was not good at that time, and today's disposable income statistics are even more worrying. The gap between rich and poor is incredibly large, six times greater than in developed countries. This disparity widens, making the rich richer and richer, while the poor and unemployed are reduced to a helpless group in society.
The feudal concept and the lack of universal values are deeply rooted, which has led to injustice and division in Chinese society. This traditional concept, which has continued from the feudal era to the present, divides society into classes, and people habitually put self-interest first, rather than respect and understanding for others.
The root cause of the problem lies in the widening gap between the rich and the poor. To solve this phenomenon, it is not enough to rely on heavy tax redistribution. Only in a country that believes in equality, democracy and freedom for all can social welfare for all be realized.
Thinking back to my experience when I was younger, life in Qiaodong made me deeply understand the hardships of life. At the same time, attitudes towards wanderers are now more tolerant. This change may be due to the awakening of society to be more sympathetic to the disadvantaged.
And how to solve the problem of unemployment and homelessness calls for more attention. Increasing employment opportunities, establishing a sound social welfare system, supporting poor families, building online employment platforms, and strengthening social security measures are the key measures to address current social problems. The combined implementation of these measures is expected to improve social conditions and improve the living standards of vulnerable groups.
