Chapter 39 spring grass green next year

"If you're not in the Starbucks, you're on your way to the Starbucks." This is a sentence A Keng taught me to describe the white-collar workers.But this day, A Keng said that his current state is "certainly not in the Starbucks Cafe, maybe he is passing by the sidewalk of the Starbucks Cafe". A Keng is a member of the so-called "post-80s". He thought that after graduating from university, he could smoothly enter the white-collar family in Kyoto, drink Starbucks coffee, eat new-style pizza, buy a small apartment with a loan, drive a blood-red QQ car, and use IKEA furniture. a few books on the shelf

——This year should be Jelinek’s novel... However, I have also seen the news in the media—it’s good news: the employment rate of recent college graduates this year has increased by several percentage points compared with last year—but there are still about 100 A Keng is one of the 20-odd "post-1980s" bachelors who cannot immediately obtain the positions they expected. A Keng also had the idea of ​​taking the postgraduate entrance examination.According to him, postgraduate entrance examinations are more beneficial to girls, and most tutors love red makeup—I don’t quite believe his judgment, but girls take the exam like a bamboo——I quite agree with this judgment.A girl who obtained the qualifications for doctoral studies with a huge score advantage said to me with a smile: "There are three kinds of people in the world, one is men, the other is women, and the other is female doctoral students." Think about this Words, both could not help laughing, but also shuddering.

A Keng gave up the postgraduate entrance examination, went outside the American Consulate on Silk Street to see the situation, explored the depths, and gave up studying abroad. A Keng came to me not to seek a job—he knew that I had no job, no right, no network, and he just came to relax.He said that he knew there were "angry youths" in the past, but now he is just depressed, and most of them "post-80s" are "bored youths".A Keng said frankly that he was faced with two things to relieve boredom, one was ecstasy and the other was chicken soup for the soul.Of course, he refuses to eat the soup, but after alternately drinking some chicken soup for the soul prepared by foreigners and local writers, he is now tired of the soup.He asked me, is there no better thing for the "boring youth" to break their boredom?

I pondered for a long time, feeling ashamed.Although I didn't intentionally stew some chicken soup for the soul, some of the words I wrote often only stayed at the level of helping people resolve anxiety and achieve psychological balance.It is indeed necessary to go beyond the so-called chicken soup for the soul, even with the most humble words, to fight against the depression together with the "post-80s" youth group in our Republic! I told A Keng, my idea is to try to position myself in a good job position and seek to live a stable and well-off life. This should still be the short-term goal of you, the 20-odd percent of unemployed groups; The evil temptation symbolized by ecstasy, drinking chicken soup for the soul to nourish the chest should be your permanent lifestyle.However, whether you are a white-collar worker or a young person like you who is "late white" like you, when building your own well-off life, you should not give up social care. To put it bluntly, only the whole society is constantly moving towards a benign Only by adjusting the direction can the members of this society have the possibility of healthy survival and healthy development.Social care is the best way to break one's "depression". To establish this kind of care cannot be achieved by drinking chicken soup. It is necessary to give one's own life a stronger drive.

A Keng told me that he is currently consigned to a gray-collar job, and he is "gray and blue", and eating a bowl of Malan ramen is considered a "tooth-sacrifice".I don't advise him to go on "gray and blue", which is obviously inferior to him.But I suggest that he not let go of the opportunity to get in touch with "gray blue", he might as well accumulate some social experience, and even start a little social investigation.The social care of the "angry youth" in the past often gave birth to irrational and radical words and deeds. They "post-80s" should say goodbye to radicalism, take rationality as the guide, start small, and infiltrate to optimize the social environment.I think of an artist’s attempt some time ago: invite many migrant workers, take off their coats at the same time, and stand together like a chain to form a performance art.It's a small, controversial thing,

However, according to media reports, to the minds of the audience, it is like ink dripping on rice paper, which has an indescribable and infiltrating enlightenment effect.I think we can all do something like this to reflect social care within our capabilities.This is much more meaningful than stewing chicken soup for the soul. When A Keng said goodbye to me, at least he was not depressed now.He said he had no time and no need to keep visiting me, but no matter what his situation was next spring, he would come to communicate with me again. I look forward to the green grass next year!
