A few days ago, I chatted with friends, talked about so-and-so getting married again, sighed, and then joked with each other:
"Hey, when are you going to get married?"
"Alas, don't mention it. In the blink of an eye, this year is twenty-five, and the daughter-in-law and the house are not settled. The tmd that the lyrics say is me. ”
"Oh no, don't you have a girlfriend?" I have all seen my parents, and it is not a matter of certainty. ”
"Oh, this year, there is no house, how dare you marry a daughter-in-law!"
At this point, both men were silent.
In this city of 10 million people, countless young people every day, holding a non-fart education, shuttle between high-rise buildings and traffic, receiving meager salaries, making ends meet, and occasionally fantasizing about the distant future.
What is the future? The house is the future.
The house price of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan can make these young people with thousands of yuan salary not see any future and hope.
A sister once said that the person she hated the most was called Gao Xiaosong, because he said a sentence:
Life is not only about the present, but also about poetry and far away.
I remember very clearly, she gritted her teeth and told me that it was this sentence that deceived many young people, who did not cultivate their own lives well, and thought about poetry and distant places all day long.
Your wife and children can't eat, your parents look down on the sick, you fool around all day and achieve nothing, this is not called poetry and far away, this is called irresponsibility.
Housing prices higher than the sky have caused some young people to be miserable and begin to look for an exit, and even self-escape. Poetry and distance may be a spiritual sustenance that paralyzes oneself.
The person who can say this sentence is Gao Xiaosong.
There is a passage on the Internet:
Your whole family is Tsinghua?
Yes, my whole family is Tsinghua. ——Gao Xiaosong
Let's say that Gao Xiaosong is the most unproductive in their family.
When he was playing with mud in the courtyard since he was a child, an uncle who came over randomly could be an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and then he was told about the science of natural strength from the mud.
How many people can have such a family background and vision starting point?
In other words, he is qualified to speak poetry and far away, do you have?
The arrival of 2018 has a special significance for the post-90s generation.
After December 31, 2017, it means that all the post-90s have reached adulthood and become the most representative force of this era.
Among them, there are those who are still in school, those who have just graduated, and those who have married and have children, who live different lives and interpret different lives.
But among them, a considerable group of post-90s, stranded in the steel forest, neither studying nor starting a family, sit in the office building during the day, in front of customers and bosses to install grandchildren. At night, living in a rental house of more than ten square meters, there is no heating in the winter, and it is freezing and shivering.
They are white-collar workers, salesmen, migrant workers, and immigrants.
But I prefer to call them: people without houses.
It's a clear label, no house, for the city, you can only be an outsider.
If you don't make an effort, you don't know what despair is.
Just like you play overtime, dragging a rusty body, when the company and the rental house are running at two points and one line, you suddenly see that wherever and where there is demolition, another batch of demolition and second generations have been born.
You're playing with life, people are playing.
But people have houses, and it's a lot.
This is called despair.
Some people, looking desperate, plunged headlong into it and lived in a foggy mood.
And some people, forced by despair to have no way out, use all their strength, but they can also turn the river upside down and kill a bloody road.
When you feel that the future is out of reach, someone has already broken into a future.
