The New Year's money can reach up to 12,000 yuan? Older people are stressed and overwhelmed
Before the dowry started, the red envelope money began to go **?
Recently, a "red envelope list" has spread across the country, including 50 yuan or less in Guangdong, all of which are below 300 yuan, 6 provinces, Zhejiang, Fujian 3,100 yuan each, the most expensive is Putian, Fujian, 12,000 yuan.
How much is 12,000? Someone once calculated that there are now 600 million people, and the monthly salary is less than 1,000 yuan, and 12,000 yuan a year, a red envelope, can spend up his salary for a year.
Although the numbers in this "red envelope map" are somewhat exaggerated, the increase in the number of red envelopes is indeed an undeniable fact. These days, red envelopes have become a hot topic.
A rural woman in Zhejiang is worried about the "red envelope", because she and her husband, wife, and son, a total of 12 children, 200 yuan is too much, the minimum 600 yuan, adding up to 7,200 yuan, and her monthly salary is gone.
A netizen in Beijing said that his child would need at least 1,000 yuan, while a netizen in Hubei said that he had planned to give his child 300 yuan, but now it has become 500 yuan.
Young people are fine, as long as they grit their teeth, they can get through, but for older people, the red envelope is like crushing them. For example, an elderly man in his 70s, who makes a living from farming and has nearly 20 children and grandchildren, is 10,000 yuan at 500 yuan per household.
"Red envelope", which is an ancient custom in China, which began in the Han Dynasty and continued until the Qing Dynasty, became popular this year, originally to bring good luck to people, who knows that it has now become a burden.
As a post-85 generation, I remember that when I was a child, the red envelope was a few dozen yuan, but today, it is more than 1,000 yuan. Why is the number of red envelopes and red envelopes increasing? I think there are two reasons for this.
First, because there are too many rich people now, there are more red envelopes. In the beginning, the economic conditions of the two countries were similar, so it was just a formality.
However, with the beginning of reform and opening up, some people took the lead in getting rich, and there was "10,000 yuan" in the 80s. In the 90s of the last century, the next tide, many people made a fortune. In the new era, there are not many people with a net worth of more than 100 million, and even hundreds of millions of people.
The local tyrants will not only send a few red envelopes as before. If they are high, others must be high. If there is a rich relative in the family who gives a red envelope of 1,000 yuan, he will definitely not pay back 50 yuan, at least 100 yuan. Step by step.
The second is to love face and like to follow the crowd. Some people raise the red envelope money from 200 yuan to 500 yuan, and others have to take pride in it. As many people say, everyone will donate five or six hundred dollars instead of 200 dollars, which is a comparison.
This kind of competition will soon spread, from a village, to a small town, and then to a city, making more and more red envelopes.
The people said that it is very necessary to "protect the original meaning of the red envelope and not let the red envelope become a pain and burden". Indeed, the whole country should be like Guangdong, "Peri is" only says "meaning", just use it with heart, why compare?
In fact, it's not just red envelopes, but the interpersonal relationships in the village are getting better and better, getting married, birthdays, moving, being admitted to university, one or two hundred is nothing, at least three or four hundred, at most five or six hundred. If you have a lot of relatives, it will cost at least thousands of yuan a year.
For the first time in this year's No. 1 document, it is proposed to alleviate the "unfavorable debts" of the villages, which is a large amount of debt owed by the high-level leaders. It is not wrong that human affection is a traditional custom and a very common way of social activities, but if it is compared excessively because of "vanity", it becomes a "burden", and it loses its original meaning.
Gifts are still exchanged, which is very needed, and the red envelope must also return to its original meaning, otherwise many people will be worried and anxious, and the New Year's flavor will get worse day by day.
