Chinese New Year is one of the most anticipated days for Chinese. During this traditional festival, families perform special customs, including giving money to their children. However, recently I saw a report on the Internet that made me think deeply.
The report mentions a woman named Zhao Lei, who is helpless in the face of the pressure of giving money to her relatives and children for the Chinese New Year. Her year-end bonus was only 7,200 yuan, but it was written off by the New Year's money. This makes me feel relatable because I've had similar experiences before.
When I was a child, I always looked forward to the Chinese New Year because it meant receiving a large amount of money. But as I've gotten older, I've come to realize that it's not an easy thing to do. There are more and more relatives, and more and more money is given out every year, which makes me feel financial pressure.
There are not a few people who feel the same way as me. In the discussion on the Internet, some people expressed their understanding: "I will pay as much as I want for the New Year's money, whether I want to love it or not, and I want to die to save face, and whoever suffers will know in my heart." "This point of view made me feel relieved and strengthened my attitude that giving money should not be a burden.
But there are also those who disagree. Someone asked, "Do you give 500 to all of these sixteen children?" How come I haven't seen such arrogant relatives? This kind of questioning makes me feel a little helpless. Each family's situation is different, and the way to give New Year's money will also be different. But most importantly, we can't question the behavior of others because their actions don't match our own expectations.
In addition to personal opinions, some netizens put forward some constructive suggestions. Some people think, "In addition to the elders, I give 100-120 for the children's New Year's money, and I give a total of 2,000." "It's a sensible approach to me, and it's a way to express your heart without putting too much financial pressure on yourself.
In my opinion, New Year's money should be a blessing, a care and expectation of the elders for the younger generation. However, with the development of society and the increase in prices, some people have begun to regard New Year's money as a tool for comparison, and even become a heavy economic burden. This phenomenon makes people sigh at the contradiction between the evolution of traditional culture and the development of social economy.
In the face of this situation, I think ** society should work together to guide people to treat the traditional custom of New Year's money correctly. People should be encouraged to give New Year's money rationally according to their actual situation, instead of blindly comparing and comparing. At the same time, the education of the younger generation should be strengthened so that they understand that the circumstances of the family are different and that their expectations cannot be imposed on others.
In the years to come, I hope to see more people be able to rationally treat the traditional custom of New Year's money, so that it can return to the essence of blessing and care, instead of becoming a heavy financial burden. May our New Year no longer become a burden because of the New Year's money, but full of warmth and happiness.
