Xiangjiang old events [entertainment circle]

At first glance, this feeling of confusion and panic seems to have suddenly discovered the truth of the world and the reality of the world, but after careful consideration, it seems that there are other things still lurking underneath.

Judging from Su Yun's "records", she will deliberately film and record such a temporary life-changing program to refute the "poor people's guilt theory" that has been popular in society in recent years-this is indeed what she will do and do well. thing.

However, except when doing it deliberately, Su Yun rarely creates any tragic endings. Even the few movies that combine literary and artistic styles end with helpless regret as much as possible. In the boundless and desperate situation, the dawn of hope is more or less hidden.

Thinking about it this way, Su Yun would not be able to produce such a special program just to refute the "criminal theory of the poor" and for the poor at the bottom who have worked hard but can't see a way out.

Once the rich and powerful social elites suffer hardships, it is true that they can make many people who suffer daily hardships so happy during the broadcast, but as long as they cool down quickly, it will only make people sigh. A word: The person who would suffer and be ridiculed is actually not the challenger on the TV to experience the life at the bottom, but the self living at the bottom.

The most frightening thing is that class leaping is becoming more and more difficult in this era.

This point can be clearly seen from He Pingsi's "experience".

At the very beginning, she joined a low-level family with full confidence, and determined to help this low-level family with many children change their lives based on her years of experience in assisting her mother to teach her younger siblings.

As everyone knows, when heavy physical labor takes up most of the time and energy, and the harsh living environment cannot guarantee enough rest, the brain that was once full of confidence quickly gave up the various plans that were originally drawn up. , Every day is completely occupied by troubles arising from survival problems.

Not to mention the gap in education level and the unequal information, just in this situation where most of the energy has been exhausted in order to survive, no matter how many ideas and plans you have before, it is difficult to have time and energy To pay attention to the education of the next generation.

And the most cruel but fair thing about this society is that it punishes those who can’t read well all the time extremely harshly—although the road of “reading” may not allow people to climb to the pinnacle of life, But at least it can allow those who are determined to work hard by studying to find a barely a place to stand in this precarious society.

But the most frightening thing is that even if this is the easiest path in the world for people to climb up to the upper class, it will still teach people the most hopeful path due to various external and internal factors. In my young age, I still can't grasp this long and short opportunity.

As a result, most of the next generation of the poor at the bottom can only continue the fate of this generation, selling physical strength and time to survive, and selling life and health in exchange for the present.

This kind of problem that is difficult to solve from generation to generation is an endless cycle with no solution, a dead end with no exit, and a death cage that will never see the sun, and the cycle goes back and forth without end.

After thinking about it or being reminded by others, it is inevitable to be frightened.

Are the people in the TV pitiful?Of course it’s pitiful—whether it’s He Pingsi, who is struggling to help the poor families deal with the problems of survival and education; Xu Junkeng, who fought to the end with all kinds of small mosquito creatures; or Yang Qilong, who was hot-tempered at the beginning and couldn't bear the hardship, but then pushed the cart to pick up garbage; politicians...

Suffering is really bitter, and those of them who were laughed out loud outside the TV have almost all experienced it themselves.

Therefore, it is also because I have experienced almost all of them myself that it is even more frightening.

Because, those social elites who "experience life", no matter how miserable and pitiful they appear on the TV screen, their "experience life" will eventually come to an end, and then return to their original, rich assets. Freehand life.

And this miserable life of being "abandoned" behind is what they, the bottom-level people, have been experiencing and experiencing all the time...

Just looking at the superficial viewers, there are always ignorant and ignorant laughter in the letters or comments, saying that this program is doing well, it justifies the name of the poor people who work hard, and effectively refute those who don't eat minced meat. Groups, let many people understand that the word "poverty" is a whirlpool with roots...

And when this vortex traps people, no matter who they are, it is difficult to break free from this vortex. In the end, they can only helplessly and helplessly watch themselves fall into the predicament created by the poverty vortex: Look, those What kind of dishonored person has he become when he confidently said at the beginning that he could change his life with his own wisdom and ability?

When living in this world is all about doing your best, how can you have the spare energy to plan for the future, how can you have the vision to see the changes of the times, and how can you have extra funds to improve yourself, let alone Is it talking about those fighting spirits and ideals that are almost meaningless at this stage?

As for the abnormal sound mixed in these praises and laughter, it is the people who have begun to "awake", thanking and accusing Su Yun of cruelly exposing the truth in the world.

On the one hand, they thanked her for breaking the information cocoon and telling the truth in the world; on the other hand, they couldn't help venting their anger and sorrow to her while having difficulty accepting the truth.

In the face of the increasingly severe gap between the rich and the poor, can the poor at the bottom, who have neither resources nor opportunities, be able to live the life they want through their own efforts and hard work?

In the program "Battle of the Rich and the Poor", these social elites who participate in challenges and experience life will be placed in every subdivided class and age stage.

From housing estates to tenement houses, from subdivided houses to cage houses, to the streets where the sky is the ground and the ground is the mat.

From the confusion of youth, to the dilemma of education for the next generation, to the crisis of unemployment in middle age and the confusion of old age, everything should be covered.

Most of the lives of the poor at the bottom have been experienced in this way, and then cycled.

"But the life of the poor at the bottom is not a reality show to be experienced. Such a long and painful life course has a time limit but is nowhere in sight. When we face this predicament, we should try our best to suffer and struggle upward. Is it the real life in the world?"

"The social elite drove away in a sports car with a relieved mentality, but we can only hold on to the hope that will never be reached, and grow old and die in despair?"

This program, which has been extremely controversial since its inception, finally came to the end of the first episode, as those pessimistic but realistic viewers expected: after a month-long experience After life, the challenger who persisted until the last half had a complicated expression on his face, waiting for the crew's pick-up vehicle.

This car is to send them to a final dinner, and then let them talk about their experience in the past month.

What moved or dissatisfied the audience was that before they left, these social elites more or less left what they had obtained and accomplished in this month to the people they filmed with.

While touching the kindness of these people, it seems that people can also perceive the kind of "compassion" that comes from above.

Such incomparably complicated thoughts have been accompanied by the dinner party.

These protagonists who have been followed for a whole month can finally get in touch with other people's views on themselves this month.

In the face of good feedback, it is undoubtedly joyful; but in the face of poor feedback, especially those who think that their one-month life experience is actually a show, in fact, it is a public relations activity specially designed for rich and powerful people. Those remarks that let them use the cheapest price to obtain civil political capital can really freeze the happy smile in an instant.

I don't know whether it's luck or misfortune, but most of the people present have grown up under the spotlight since they were young, and they more or less know what kind of attitude to show on which occasion.

Among them, the outstanding one is of course Su Yun's old friend He Pingsi who pays special attention to him.

"People's abilities are limited, but once they have the opportunity to unite, they may have unimaginable power."

"Although the experience of those of us can't change the world and people's mentality, I believe that as long as someone is willing to understand, as long as someone is willing to do it, then more people can always be encouraged and guided to pay attention to them and understand them. , and help them."

"I have seen some people say that education is actually a scarce resource and a means of classifying classes - as another gentleman present said, although education is as fair as possible to a certain extent, this society is still They are all severely punishing those who can't read well..."

"I want to say that as an ordinary person whose life seems to be able to see the end at a glance, it is very important to understand that the real world is not easy. Compared with these people, people like us are undoubtedly too lucky."

"Although life is unequal, no matter who you are, you should not discriminate or look down on others, and you should not ask others to do it because you think you can do it, because it is not caused by laziness or other reasons. , but an insoluble dilemma formed by the combination of external and internal factors.”

"My good friend Mary discussed this kind of issues with me before preparing for this program. She said something that impressed me deeply-it is impossible to eradicate poverty."

"I thought she was too pessimistic at the time, and I argued with her several times... It wasn't until I experienced this month that I realized that what she said was actually very correct."

"But this kind of 'very correct' words can only be said by people who are 'irrelevant' like her, not people who have something to do with politics-even to some extent, those people That view should not be considered correct."

"Because one of the responsibilities of these people is to use their own strength to help poor areas and people get out of poverty."

"'Get out of poverty' is a simple word; but to achieve it is a never-ending road."

"When you are incapable, I hope you can try your best to live your life; and when you are capable, I hope you can use your ability to give back to the society-this is the responsibility that society bestows on people, and it varies from person to person. , but they all lead to the same goal.”

This last episode is like the stone that stirred up a thousand waves. Once it was released, it set off a huge wave that started from Xiangjiang, the first broadcast area, and then spread rapidly to the surrounding area.

It turns out that what Su Yun is going to discuss this time is not about "the theory of the guilt of the poor" or "the theory of the guilt of the rich", but a deeper "social responsibility that varies from person to person"!

In a new era that is becoming more and more open and mature, most of the wealthy people who have achieved prosperity will also lose empathy and social responsibility more and more.

It is undeniable that in such a materialistic society, there will still be people who are unsullied in the mud, but when the information is cut and separated and the class distance is widened, those laborers who have devoted their blood, sweat and health to create a prosperous new world are still suffering. The pain of the past.

And when there is a program that shows the truth in a straightforward and fruitful manner, people who watch it should need to reflect on whether their own success is not only due to their own hard work and luck, but also the favor of the society and the bottom The fulfillment of workers?

Comparing your heart with your heart has always been an act that is easier said than done.

But most people still have their due empathy and conscience lurking in their hearts.

Therefore, this program, in addition to alerting the society, is also using cruel but real pictures and the resulting public opinion to awaken and stimulate those high-level executives and the middle-level main force to make them start to reflect and start Pay attention to the status quo at the grassroots level.

This world cannot eradicate poverty, but it can still improve the lives of the grassroots. This kind of "improvement" does not rely solely on the power of the government, but requires the participation of responsible people. The suffering masses have tasted the sweetness of the new era.

The scope of controversy and discussion on this topic is so wide and far-reaching that until many years later, some people still mentioned from time to time the beginning and spread brought about by this reality show in the late 80s.

However, after many years, Su Yun also gave everyone a follow-up that may not be a follow-up——

When the headline of "The Road to Infinity" disappears, and the program host's footsteps set foot on the "plain rhyme roads" located in poor mountains and backwaters, it is not only telling the endlessness of this action; The efforts of many people finally bear fruit, and there are endings that have not yet been calculated.
