In the Spring Festival of 2024, young people will not go home, many people choose to travel, and many attractions across the country are full and have to be restricted**. In the past, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, which became empty cities as soon as the Chinese New Year arrived, became a blocked city, and the major scenic spots were crowded.
Even when they go back for the Chinese New Year, many people choose to stay in county hotels instead of returning home. Orders from Huazhu Hotel and Home Inn have risen sharply. There are also people who regard going home during the Spring Festival as a task, to see their parents, have a reunion dinner, and when the task is completed, they hurriedly choose to return in the second and third years of junior high school, and they don't go to relatives.
Behind these things all reflect a phenomenon, that is, there are more and more "family breaks". The so-called "severance of relatives" means that you do not associate with relatives other than your parents and siblings, which is not alarmist, but has a factual basis.
A professor at Nanjing University once did a survey and found that the post-90s and post-00s generations have nothing to do at home and will not contact their relatives.
Why did everyone love to go to relatives so much in the past, and when it came to the New Year, they were all big bags of gifts, and they went to relatives' houses to pay New Year's greetings, but now they don't like to go, and even want to break off their relatives?
In fact, the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year has changed, in the past, everyone's conditions were similar, but the relationship between relatives was very close, and everyone liked to help each other.
Now that the living conditions are better, the trend of comparison is getting heavier and heavier, and the houses in my hometown must be built bigger and taller than others, so as to have face. The houses in the city should not only be bought in the county seat, but also in the city and even in the provincial city, so as to be the most profitable. The car should also be compared, compared to the end, compared to the brand, whoever drives the car better, who can get more praise.
After comparing the house and car, I began to compare the object, and I was a little older, and before I found the object, I would be discussed by relatives and urged to get married. The later they get married, the more faceless their parents will be, so they are also very anxious.
I finally got married, and I started to compare children again. Whoever gave birth to another one, why don't you give birth yet? When you give birth to one, you start to say that whoever has already given birth to three, you can have another one.
This year's comparison has spread to the New Year's money, and many netizens reported that the New Year's money is almost unaffordable, often five or six hundred, and more than thousands. In the past few years, the New Year's money has also risen, and it was originally just an auspicious picture, but I didn't expect it to become a tool for comparison.
Many young people and their relatives only see each other once a year, and the relationship has become estranged, and it is difficult to return home once, and they have to ask for salary, urge marriage, and give birth. No one really cares if you work hard or not, whether you are stressed or not, they just want to gossip about it and compare it to each other.
The post-90s and post-00s generations of one-child generations have very strong personalities, and it is better not to see them than to become the objects of comparison with relatives. As a result, many people began to choose to travel and relax themselves. In today's parlance, visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year is ineffective socializing. Young people choose to "cut off their relatives", which is undoubtedly a clear life.
In fact, the current relationship between relatives is maintained by their parents, and when they leave, they will be completely cut off. In the past 20 years, hundreds of millions of rural people have settled in the cities, and another 200 million should move to the cities in the future. The countryside is becoming more and more hollowed out, and when their parents leave and young people have settled in the cities, it is even more impossible to go back to visit relatives, and it is inevitable to break off relatives.
As the old saying goes, one generation is pro, two represents, and three or four generations are gone. With the advancement of urbanization, the next two generations may not leave, because everyone is distributed in different cities, and there are very few opportunities to meet.
Kinship is an important link to maintain traditional culture, and if there are more and more relatives, then many traditional cultures will disappear. Therefore, it is still necessary to find a way to curb the wind of comparison, so as to return the relationship between relatives to a clean and pure.
