 Quotes 

01/ "We are all heartbroken by Matthew's departure, we are not just actors in the same show, we are a family. We have so much to say, but for now, we need to take some time to mourn and deal with this incalculable loss. Eventually, we'll say more when we can. Now, our hearts are with Matthew's family, friends, and all those in the world who love him. ”

- The five leading actors of "Friends" issued a joint statement to mourn Matthew Perry through "People" magazine.

02/ "Many low- and middle-income families may feel that they can afford to buy a house after the house price falls, and they are looking at the problem from a personal point of view. The proportion of real estate wealth in China's residents' wealth is about 60%-70% in urban areas. High-income households have more business wealth and other wealth, including overseas wealth. Therefore, after the fall in housing prices, there is almost no impact on high-income families. But for families, mainly low- and middle-income families, whose property value accounts for 60 to 70 percent of the value of all wealth, the loss is significant. ”

Zhang Xiaojing, director of the Institute of Finance and Economics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and director of the National Finance and Development Laboratory, said in an interview that if housing prices fall sharply, ordinary people will suffer the most.

"Old-fashioned" consumption

Nowadays, many meal service points mainly for the elderly attract consumers of different ages. In addition to catering, young consumers are beginning to explore the "potential" of more elderly consumption scenarios. "Sunset Red" tour groups, universities for the elderly, etc. have begun to enter the consumption vision of young people. Many young people said that it was because of an accidental consumption experience that they saw the convergence between the elderly consumption scene and their own lives.

Li Chuang, an assistant researcher at the Research Office of Youth and Educational Sociology of the Institute of Sociology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, believes that the emergence of "old-fashioned" consumption is a manifestation of the change in young people's consumption concepts. On the other hand, it also shows that the difference in consumption between generations is decreasing".
