Hate China and crazy "Runzhong", what do Koreans think?
According to a statistic from South Korea in the early years, the number of Koreans living in China reached 258 in 201460,000, accounting for 36% of the total number of overseas Koreans and overseas Koreans that year, ranking the most in the world.
The Korean Association in China has also revealed that there are about 30,400,000 Koreans living in China for a long time, and if you include short-term residents, the number may reach more than 10 times.
You must know that the total population of South Korea in 2023 will only be more than 50 million, so it is estimated that nearly one-tenth of South Koreans may choose to come to China, which is obviously extremely "abnormal".
After all, many South Koreans now have a deep "hostility" towards China on the Internet, and that kind of unspeakable hatred almost abounds.
So why do South Koreans hate China so much that they rush to come to China in the end?
In this regard, perhaps a recent riot in South Korea can provide the answer: behind the crazy "Runzhong" of South Koreans, it is precisely the deep pain of South Korean society today.
Involution of South Korea.
If I don't stand up and speak today, then tomorrow I will lose the right to speak! ”
As soon as the New Year began, there was another big mess in South Korea.
According to multiple news reports, after South Korea announced a few days ago that it would fully expand the enrollment of medical students in 2025, the medical community in South Korea was outraged.
As of February 19, local time, 100 hospitals, a total of 6,415 doctors have submitted their resignations because of this matter, and the five Seoul major hospitals have jointly decided to "suspend work" to show their decision.
There is no doubt that this move by the South Korean medical community will inevitably make South Korea's already tight medical resources worse again, so some South Korean politicians bluntly said: "This is a forced palace operation against the Blue House!" ”
South Korea's ** Yoon Suk-yeol said angrily in front of the camera: "The current ** will never tolerate the collective action of the medical community like the predecessor**", "The medical community can't fight the people!" ”
In fact, South Korea's chaos has long been sparse and ordinary because of the medical reform incident, and it can be said that almost every time the medical industry is to take action, it will cause-for-tat confrontation from the other party.
But, if other factors aside, is South Korea's behavior wrong?
Apparently not. According to data released by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the number of clinicians per 1,000 people in South Korea in 2015 was only 22 people, well below the average of OECD member countries.
As a result, many patients often have to bear higher costs to get timely** under the strained medical resources.
For example, in 2017, 460,000 patients in South Korea had a total medical cost of more than 5 million won, and many Korean families were torn apart by high medical costs.
In this regard, South Korea's former ** Moon Jae-in even said with tears in his eyes: "South Korea will never let the family break up due to high medical expenses happen again." ”
Even Yoon Suk-yeol, who later tried his best to erase the traces of the former **, came to power, but still insisted on retaining the policies introduced in medical treatment.
It is enough to see that South Korea's medical reform has reached the point where it is imperative, and the success is even related to the current government's achievements.
However, such a reform would have to sacrifice the interests of existing doctors.
In fact, the benefits of the medical industry in South Korea are not low.
Also according to the data given by the South Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare, the average monthly salary of Korean doctors can reach 13.04 million won, or about 7750,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 4.5 times the average salary of ordinary office workers in other industries.
Therefore, even if the medical industry expands, it will still allow most doctors to live a richer life than ordinary people, and the desperate resistance of doctors seems a bit vexatious.
However, if you look at the actual situation in South Korea, you will find that the reaction of these doctors is also understandable.
Because, if the local consumption level is to be the standard, high-wage doctors still have to face huge pressure.
Take buying a house as an example, according to the Bank of Korea, in the second quarter of 2023, the average household loan for young people under the age of 40 in South Korea was 79 million won, of which 70% came from housing loans.
However, in contrast to this figure, in May 2023, 1.26 million South Koreans were unemployed, more than half of whom had a bachelor's degree or higher.
As a result, under such tremendous pressure, many young Koreans have fallen into a vicious circle of "breaking their loans".
Due to its irreplaceability and "scarcity", the medical industry has not been affected for the time being.
But what about the future? With the progress of medical reform, more and more newcomers are pouring into the industry, which will naturally cause panic among doctors.
As one South Korean doctor said in an interview, "If I don't rise up today, I'll starve to death on the streets tomorrow!" ”
A hometown where you can't settle down.
In addition to high housing prices, South Koreans are facing a growing gap between the rich and the poor.
According to the statistics of South Korea, after more than half a century of annexation, 83% of South Korea's land is currently in the hands of 5% of the elite, and the state has no ability to redeem it.
Therefore, the only way for ordinary people in South Korea to live in peace is to dedicate their lives to those few "upper class people".
Based on this, many South Koreans complain about the huge profits of the medical industry and are jealous of the high salaries of doctors, but why are they not exploited by the higher-ups?
Isn't this a well-choreographed low-level infighting?
However, then again, not all Koreans are so "brainless".
Since there is no place to live in this land, why not go out?
And this is the origin of South Korea's current "wave of immigration".
According to the statistics of the South Korean Immigration Bureau, in the past ten years, South Korea, with a population of more than 50 million, has sent more than 6 million immigrants overseas, an average of 600,000 a year.
Among young people in their 20s and 30s, immigration is strongly sought after, with 56% having the idea of immigrating and 70% of newlyweds already planning to emigrate.
No wonder British scholar David Coleman dared to make a bold decision**: South Korea may become the first country in the world to disappear naturally. ”
Flee "China."
With so many immigrants in South Korea every year, where do they go?
In fact, in the beginning, the United States and some Western countries were the first choice for South Koreans.
After all, they can't afford to lower their standard of living by being uprooted from their homes, and they also think they have more opportunities in these developed countries and that their abilities can be put to good use.
However, in reality, this mentality is more like the self-inflicted sentimentality of Koreans.
For example, the "farce of illegal immigration" that broke out in the United States some time ago. As we all know, the United States has always been very cautious about immigration, and sometimes if you want to apply for a visa, you will be "stuck" in various ways.
In fact, by contrast, America's elites may be more welcoming to cheap labor that can take on low-level jobs than middle-class elites who share in the dividends of American society.
Therefore, over time, South Koreans are no longer enthusiastic about the United States and Western countries, and "Runzhong" has gradually become a trend.
What are the benefits of coming to China for Koreans?
First of all, the two countries have similar cultures, which can better help Koreans integrate into Chinese society.
For Koreans, it is easier and more acceptable to get acquainted with Chinese culture than to be familiar with American culture.
Not to mention, compared to the United States, China is really not too safe.
On February 14 this year, the Super Bowl ceremony of the "Spring Festival Gala" in the United States was held as scheduled, and it turned out that there was another accident, two suspects shot at the crowd, resulting in 1 death, 21 injuries, and 8 people are still not out of danger so far.
In the United States, the occurrence of ** cases is almost as sparse and ordinary as "eating and drinking", as people often say: "Tomorrow and accidents you never know who will come first", this is the current situation in the United States.
Like other countries, if a similar incident occurs, the cause can usually be found, but in the United States, "breathing" may be a "crime".
Therefore, this is also the reason why many foreigners are amazed by China's safety and choose to stay in China after coming to China, and Koreans are naturally no exception.
Finally, and most crucially, there is the arrogance in the bones of South Koreans, many of whom believe that they have a "technological advantage" in China.
This is actually best reflected in medical treatment, especially in plastic surgery.
Due to the popularity of Korean celebrities in recent years, Korean plastic surgery technology has been widely recognized in China and even around the world.
But are Korean doctors really as miraculous as the legend suggests?
Apparently not. In recent years, it is not uncommon for various Korean doctors to fail in their operations, and "People's **" has even reported that some second- and third-rate Korean doctors have come to China to practice medicine without a license, just to "practice their hands".
It can be seen that too much "superstition" often not only fails to achieve the goal, but also increases the risk of victimization, and in case of an accident, it is very likely to suffer "hard losses".
Therefore, it is not difficult to see from here that the self-confident "technology" of Koreans may really not have such an "advantage".
In the face of so many Koreans coming to China, how should we respond?
For various reasons, many Koreans hate China, and similarly, many Chinese hate South Korea, and even this hate has risen to the point of generalization.
However, this is clearly wrong.
For example, Korean plastic surgeons, we do not rule out some "rookies" to confuse the public, but at the same time, we also need to recognize that some of Korea's top plastic surgeons do have amazing skills.
Expanding to other industries, the latter, with its amazing skills, is clearly the talent we need now.
China is an open and tolerant country, and whether it is a South Korean, an American, or even a Japanese, as long as they have a skill and have no ill intentions towards China, we should be willing to become friends with them.
This is the mind that a "citizen of a big country" should have.
