In the current social context, the word "gnawing the old" seems to have become a label attached to the heads of many young people, triggering a wide range of social discussions. Bai Yansong, a well-known commentator, recently expressed his views on the social security policy in 2024 in the CCTV News 1+1 program, which triggered deep thinking among the public.
Bai Yansong pointed out that society and families should reduce the burden on the younger generation in order to realize the common interests of the whole family. He criticized the expression "gnawing at the elderly", arguing that it is not only an injustice to young people, but also reflects the current situation of insufficient social support. His views touched on the current society's perception of young people's stress and coping strategies, and sparked an in-depth discussion on how to improve the living environment of young people.
The examples mentioned by Bai Yansong profoundly reflect several problems in the current society, such as high housing prices and insufficient childcare services, which are the main reasons for the great stress of young people's lives. Through these specific cases, Bai Yansong called on society to provide more support for young people, rather than simply criticizing them.
His view underscored a central issue: responsibility should not be placed on young people unilaterally, and that society, ** and families should work together to alleviate the burden on young people. This includes providing more employment opportunities, affordable housing prices, better childcare services, and more, all of which are key to ensuring that young people can live independently and healthy lives.
Bai Yansong's discussion called on society to understand the situation of young people from different perspectives and provide concrete solutions, rather than simply blaming individuals for the problem with the term "gnawing at the elderly". His views speak for the rights of the younger generation and provide ideas for improving their living conditions.
Bai's discussion not only revealed the challenges faced by young people today, but also raised a positive perspective on the issue. He stressed that only when society, ** and families work together to provide the necessary support and resources for the younger generation can the deep social problems behind the "gnawing of the old" be truly solved.
