Title: Spring Festival: The psychological wrestling behind red envelopes.
The Spring Festival has passed, and the flavor of the New Year still exists, but it is not so much a reunion as a "red envelope war". In this era of rising red envelope prices, each red envelope carries countless emotional and social pressures, which makes people have to think, is the red envelope really just an exchange of money?
The netizens on the forum posted the amount of red envelopes sent and received, and some of them lamented that they had given out two months' salary, but only a meager part of it was recovered; There are also people proudly displaying the "little gold mountain" with piles of red envelopes, and the pleasure of counting money is overflowing. This contrast makes people wonder, what does the red envelope represent?
Some people sighed, "Why is the New Year's money getting higher and higher?" "If you don't have it, you can't do it, and if you have more, your heart hurts", this kind of competition and anxiety about the amount of red envelopes reflects the social pressure of young people. Even the starting price of red envelopes for children in some areas has reached 1,000 yuan, which makes people sigh that the red envelopes of a few yuan in the past have become history.
However, is this excessive pursuit of red envelope amount a real demand or a manifestation of social pressure? Perhaps, we can pay more attention to the exchange of family and friendship, after all, the red envelope is important, but the more important thing is the sincere emotion.
Some people began to reflect on the fact that it was okay not to prepare a small gift for the New Year's money, after all, the salary should not be completely dependent on the payment of relatives. Some people also proposed a good idea, that is, to negotiate the amount with siblings, or simply not send red envelopes to each other, so as to reduce the financial burden and social pressure of both parties.
The Red Envelope War is a battle full of joy and challenges. In this process, we may be able to pay more attention to the sincerity of family and friendship, rather than the amount of red envelopes. After all, the Spring Festival is not only an exchange of money, but also a flow of emotions, and a sincere emotional exchange between people. Let's feel this unique New Year's flavor with our hearts!
May everyone be satisfied and rich in the new year, both materially and spiritually, and spend a warm and happy Spring Festival together!
May you have a wonderful New Year!
