On April 1st, April Fool's Day, when you are looking forward to finding some inspiration on the Internet, you find that the hottest April Fool's Day passage on social media is:
"I don't have to go through April Fool's Day at all, and I'm usually being deceived."
Being cheated by scumbags and scumbags, that's not a big deal, this april fool's day is used as a mouthwash by contemporary young people:
The examiners do not need to pass April Fool's Day at all, they all say that it is not difficult to rush hard, and the result is that the national line has risen by ten points; the workers do not need to pass April Fool's Day at all, and yesterday overtime was cut off today;
Winter planned to go to the music festival to drink and listen to songs to swing together, spring came to stay at home; stay at home, grab the milk of the e-commerce platform at 7 o'clock in the morning, and receive a customer service call in the afternoon that the delivery can not be delivered, kiss a refund...
I really don't know whether to laugh and cry, or cry and laugh.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the topic "No Need to Pass April Fool's Day at All" rushed to the fourth place in the hot search list, and at three o'clock in the afternoon, the daily page views of the topic had reached 170 million.
In the face of today's hot search, young people remember the sentence in the language textbook many years ago: "If life deceives you", but the reason is understood, or it is difficult to do neither sad nor anxious.

Contemporary young people are really a bit miserable.
Just five years ago, Starbucks was full of young people who used PPT and stories to lobby investors, China's Internet industry rushed out of several dark horses, the expansion of large factories was fierce, and the word "inner volume" did not occupy the mind.

Today, the number of college graduates is increasing year by year, exceeding 10 million in 2022. According to the data released by the Ministry of Education, it took 3 years for the number of college graduates to rise from 6 million to 7 million, 4 years for 7 million to 8 million, 3 years for 8 million to 9 million, and only 1 year for it to exceed 10 million from 9.09 million in 2021 to 2022.
Capital retreats, the Internet industry shrinks frequent layoffs, the examination and research has also rolled out of a new height, the future uncertainty of young people is getting bigger, no matter which way you choose, the possibility of "being deceived by life" is getting bigger.
Young people who choose to go to graduate school find that the first time they hear the score is happy, and then look at others' panic, and the scores that can be assured in previous years are unstable this year. Sure enough, on March 11, the 2022 national line of examination and research was announced, except for a few majors, the score line generally rose sharply, and some even rose by more than ten points. According to the Guangming Network, looking through the records of recent years, the floating space of the national line of examination and research is basically about 5 points, and this year's increase is really rare.
The final result is that there are more than three million candidates who have fallen off the list, and just looking at the numbers will not feel anything, so you can feel the pain: the matter of "falling off the list" has happened more than three million times in 2022.
Young people who choose to seek jobs find that the "gold, silver and silver four" have disappeared, and young people who are already workers have found that the work is still there today, does not mean that there will be tomorrow, and the layoffs will come. Some young people turned their heads and found that the entire industry was gone. Either the examination and research will be rebuilt, or the examination will be taken and the career will be changed from scratch.
A few days ago, there was a picture circulating on the pulse, and the transparent storage box was messily stacked with badges, full of it. According to the poster, this is a badge returned by the employee who has been laid off.
The reason why this photo has spread is naturally related to the sudden layoffs of Youzan and the scale of attention, and the key is actually the visual impact. The badge is green and green, you can see the traces of the decoration of the former owner, and in the blink of an eye, it has parted ways and the fate has come to an end.

The variables of the future development path are just the bottom, in the past two years, life has brought young people "surprises" far more than this.
Thunderstorm companies can crush all their previous contractual commitments.
Traveling to ride a shared bicycle, the deposit can not be refunded, but also because the entire company is not working, you have to queue up for a refund. This is the ofo small yellow car deposit incident in 2018, when more than 10 million people queued up to refund the deposit in December of that year, and they had no choice but to wait (but most of the personnel have not waited until now).
Rent a house to be careful of black-hearted intermediaries and unreliable landlords, even if it is not counted, who can think that even well-known long-term rental apartments will "thunder"?
In 2020, the life of young people who have endured the fierce epidemic in the first half of the year has gradually returned to normal, and as a result, young people living in eggshell apartments in the second half of the year will not be able to live in peace.
If you are still living, it is possible that you have paid the utility bills, but you are suddenly notified of the arrears, and finally you are cut off from water and electricity. Some residents were simply forced to return the rent, and when they withdrew the rent, they found that the "deposit-free" that was said at the beginning was actually a rent loan, and as a result, the house did not live, and the loan had to be repaid.
Young people choose long-term rental apartments, the original picture is simple and convenient can also pay monthly, the result is that in the end none of them are not occupied, and the pit is more than footless.
The epidemic has lowered the entertainment life of young people. Every music festival that can be held smoothly is a gift from Heaven, and in severe cases, even talk shows are not necessary to watch.
On March 22, the China Performance Industry Association said that from mid-February to mid-March, more than 4,000 performances were cancelled or postponed, and it was estimated that 80% of the projects would be suspended or postponed in late March.
In real life, the experience of performance cancellation or postponement is even worse, and because the progress of epidemic prevention and control is difficult to predict, the notification of the decision to cancel or postpone is often not issued early.
Many young people will also wait until the last moment, especially entertainment events like music festivals, and finally the tickets have to be refunded, the hotels have to be cancelled, and even people have to turn back when they arrive in the local area.
Not to mention the internet scammers who have nothing to do with the disturbance of the outside world. Young people are now courting on social media, seeing that the "founders" are reflexively thinking of "killing pigs", like exchanging photos and often being pulled to download the App: "If you want to see my photos, download Oh, and live broadcast ~"
What has money is the pig to be slaughtered, what is not money is the traffic of walking, and there is always a scammer for you.
"I don't have to go through April Fool's Day at all, and I'm usually being deceived." There's something really that said.

It is said that today is the era of "entertainment to death", but the entertainment spirit of young people has its own advantages. If life deceives young people, young people choose to post a complaint.
In between the laughs, the problem may not be solved, but the mood is at least better.
And every time you are "deceived" is a baptism of reason and emotion, young people are also growing up in frustration. One word that has been popular among young people in these two years is "vigilance," which was not there five years ago.
In the face of tempting advertising copywriting and newer digital products, more and more young people know how to "guard against the trap of consumerism".
Vigilance against consumerism has even led platforms to play "reverse marketing", and in 2020, NetEase yanxuan launched the advertising slogan of "to consume, not consumerism", announcing that the withdrawal was the year's double eleven.
However, young people are equally wary of this operation, believing that it is just another routine.
In the workplace, "be wary of drawing a big pie", "be wary of workplace PUA", "be wary of inward rolls", and "be wary of disguised layoffs". Since the "workplace PUA" has been widely discussed, young people have one more opportunity to let go of themselves in the workplace, lay off more employees, young people also know how to ask compensation matters at the first time, and also know that words cannot be signed casually, and HR communication should be recorded.
It really echoes the philosopher Nietzsche's words: "Anything that cannot kill me will only make me stronger." ”
April Fool's Day can still be passed, but young people can follow their own interpretation: "In the future, simply call April Fool's Day the true self festival, on this day to say that I am telling the truth, the boss let me work overtime, I said: I don't want to." ”
Or, April Fool's Day is still April Fool's Day, but it is not a festival to deceive others, but to think of oneself as a fool, to celebrate on this day that he is still alive, and to celebrate that he is still "stupid".
Happy April Fool's Day.
