Zhang Daqiang and Zhang Ying are a happy couple, and after their successful retirement, they are tired of life in the city and decide to return to the countryside to experience rural life. However, they soon discover that the villagers seem to be very unkind to them. Although the old couple tried to integrate into the life of the villagers, the villagers always answered their questions perfunctorily, and did not even get a friendly greeting. Zhang Daqiang tried to show his kindness to the villagers, but he was greatly disappointed, and the villagers not only did not welcome his kindness, but also responded to his kindness with a mocking and indifferent attitude. Although Zhang Daqiang was very confused, he did not give up. He tries to understand the villagers' minds and hopes that he can change the villagers' perception of them. However, his efforts did not work, and the villagers remained indifferent and hostile towards them, which made Zhang Daqiang feel very frustrated and lonely. From a psychological point of view, Zhang's experience reflects a common phenomenon: social exclusion.
Social exclusion refers to the exclusion and isolation of individuals from a social group, usually as a result of prejudice or discrimination against certain individuals by the group. In Zhang's case, he and Zhang Ying returned to the countryside as retired seniors, an act that could be seen as incompatible with the villagers' lifestyles and values, and thus ostracized. However, there may be a solution to social exclusion. There are a number of ways people can alleviate social exclusion, such as adapting positively, reducing social anxiety, and finding support and help. For Zhang Daqiang and Zhang Ying, they can participate more in the activities of the villagers, establish contact and friendship with the villagers, and gradually eliminate the prejudice and discrimination against them by the villagers. To sum up, Zhang Daqiang and Zhang Ying chose to return to the countryside to experience the pastoral life, but they were rejected by the villagers.
Although they feel confused and lonely, they do not give up, on the contrary, they should continue to work hard to integrate into the lives of the villagers and gradually eliminate the prejudice and discrimination against them by the villagers. Eventually, they can live in peace with the villagers and enjoy their old age in the countryside. Zhang Daqiang once wondered why the villagers always stayed away from him, until the neighbors revealed to him that the villagers thought he looked down on them. This frustrated Mr. Zhang, who had never thought he might be misunderstood. He was convinced that he was just going with the flow, never showing off or condescending to others. However, when he recalls his actions, he realizes that he did make some mistakes. At first, Zhang Daqiang did not ask the villagers for help when building the house, but went directly to the city to find workers. This made the villagers feel neglected. Then, Zhang Daqiang's way of life was out of step with the villagers. He was neatly dressed and appeared richer than the rest of the village, reminiscent of the fact that he might have been a big man from the city.
This made the villagers feel that Zhang Daqiang was unattainable and did not want to associate with him. These made Zhang Daqiang feel confused and sad, because he never thought that he might make such an impression on others. However, once Zhang Daqiang realized his mistake, he did not despair. Instead, he decided to change his lifestyle to better integrate into the lives of the villagers. He and his wife changed into ordinary sportswear and instead of driving, they chose to walk to show that they were no different from the rest of the village. In addition, he actively participates in various activities in the village, such as playing cards, dancing, singing, and many more. The most important thing is that he took the initiative to build roads for the village and paid out of his own pocket, so that the villagers could see his sincere dedication and be willing to communicate with him. Over time, Zhang Daqiang developed a deep friendship with the villagers. They talk a lot, sharing each other's life experiences and stories. He also participates in various activities in the village, playing cards, dancing, singing, etc., with the villagers, making them closer to each other.
Through these actions, Zhang Daqiang conveyed his sincerity and respect, and made the villagers realize that he was not an arrogant city man, but a kind old man.
