Chapter 75 Tragic Examination of Unbalanced Social Values

In the long history of human development, 30 years may only be regarded as "a flick of a finger". And this short period of "30 years" is the "golden opportunity" for the Chinese to reform internally, open up to the outside world, work hard, and try their best.In this short period of 30 years, we have completed the magnificent turn of a suffering nation in the tide of the ever-changing international era. Today, when we reap the fruits of reform and opening up with joy, we find that there are still some unsatisfactory aspects. This is the serious social imbalance problem we are facing.

Experts believe that one of the core problems of social imbalance is the "domestic demand problem". For a long time, the "domestic demand problem" has been affecting the nerves of the Chinese rulers, and the many social problems caused by it have also caused headaches for local governments at all levels. As we all know, since the reform and opening up, we have been following an "export-oriented" development model, and our products are mainly sold to western developed countries.Experts pointed out that this "one'out" development model will often make the overall development of the country's economy always in a state of high-level "risk index".

So far, we have to face such a cruel reality: when Western countries encounter economic crisis, China's economy is also dying.When domestic demand has not been fully mobilized, there will be a serious surplus of productivity, which will lead to a series of social problems.One of the focal points of these problems is the current uneven distribution of income in society, which affects the "excessive gap between the rich and the poor". In just 30 years, the Chinese people have become rich and China's overall national strength has increased.But another phenomenon has aroused people's attention, that is, social wealth begins to gather in the hands of a few people.On this basis, there is the "February 8" effect that economists often say: 80% of China's wealth is controlled by 20% of the people, which is quite thought-provoking.

Compared with Shanxi coal bosses who have accumulated hundreds of millions of wealth, the tens of millions of annual salaries of state-owned enterprise executives are nothing.Compared with the annual income of thousands of yuan of ordinary farmers, it is simply "a drop in the ocean". Social distribution is uneven and the gap between the rich and the poor is too large. Governments around the world seem to have noticed this.The implementation of the major reforms of education, medical care, housing, state-owned enterprises, and taxation, known as the "Five Pillars of Optimus", is based on this consideration.

The second focus of these issues is the "big livelihood" issue involving the common people. Eating, drinking, teasing, spreading, sleeping, housing, walking, and people's livelihood and public issues are all big and small.What we are facing is the reality of "high-cost living" in which "seeing a doctor is difficult", "seeing a doctor is expensive", and "buying a house is more difficult". Can't afford to live", "Can't afford to live".The consequence of this is that no one dares to spend their savings.Let's just talk about the issue of "housing". A house costing one million yuan is extremely disproportionate to the meager income of ordinary people. As a result, the index of people's confidence in life is greatly reduced.

The third focus of these problems is the emergence of various ugly phenomena of cheating and abduction. Due to the different conditions and social identities of each individual, their possession of social resources is different.For example, in Shanxi in the late 1980s, due to the low threshold for coal operation and inadequate industry management, it became an "ideal world" for coal bosses to start a business and get rich at "low cost". Unidentified social "advantage" is a coal boss who obtains the country's coal resources for his own benefit. If you have money in your pocket, your back will be straight, and you will have the confidence to go about your business.

I can dig coal privately, and of course I can disregard human life, because I can successfully obtain "exemption" from society through the "refuge resources" I have at my disposal. This is a typical "low-cost" crime reality case, and this is a typical "no rules" "game sample", which reflects an unbalanced social value.
