In a world shrouded in snow, a sudden snowfall cuts off the village from the outside world, leaving trapped travelers and their stories behind. This is not only a test of nature, but also a great examination of human nature. When instant noodles become a symbol of salvation, a heated discussion about survival, morality, and economics ensues.
In this small village, which has been locked down by heavy snowfall, the price of a bucket of instant noodles has soared to 15 yuan, and a cup of hot water is priced at 5 yuan. For those who are accustomed to the low cost of instant noodles in urban life**, this change is undoubtedly shocking. There are voices accusing this of making a fortune out of the disaster, but the story behind this is far more complex than it seems.
First of all, this ** is to some extent determined by the basic law of the market economy - the relationship between supply and demand. Heavy snow closed the road, the supply of materials was blocked, and the demand increased due to the increase in trapped travelers. But this is only the appearance.
In order to get the instant noodles and hot water to the travelers, the villagers had to step on thick snow and climb over high-speed fences, risking frostbite. It's not just the physical distance, it's the distance between the mind and the living. Isn't their contribution worth a little financial compensation?
And, when night falls, or after a long wait, these instant noodles and hot water are no longer just food and drink, they become symbols of warmth, hope and survival. At critical times like these, they are worth far more than the numbers on the label.
News and society tend to play up the act of providing help for free, treating paid services as unethical. However, this black-and-white moral kidnapping ignores a fundamental truth: that the provision of services, whether free or charged, is to be appreciated. The free service shows the glorious side of human nature, while the service with a reasonable fee also shows the reality of life and the mutual support between people.
If the villagers receive a reasonable income for providing services, it will not only be an affirmation of their hard work, but will also motivate more people to join in, thus making the supplies more abundant, which is a good thing for the stranded travelers.
In the face of natural disasters and survival challenges, we should let go of excessive entanglement in material things and pay more attention to the rationality of survival and mutual support. After all, at those critical moments, the significance of a bucket of instant noodles and a cup of hot water far exceeded theirs.
Heavy snow closed the road, and villagers were criticized for 15 yuan of instant noodles
