In this era of increasing prosperity, each of us lives under the same sky, but has a very different picture of life. Perhaps you and I have experienced the stark contrasting reality: while you're figuring out how to spend the month, some people are struggling with which luxury car to choose.
Imagine that when you are still racking your brains for each meal, others may be paying tens of thousands of living expenses a month. The luxurious apartments and cosy cottages in the heart of the city have become the most intuitive portrayal of the gap between rich and poor. Behind the high-end camera is not only the scenery, but also the epitome of the quality of life of some people.
Every time I see something that someone else can easily spend on a few years of their salary, I feel a tingling in my heart. Objects and experiences that seem ordinary but are out of reach for us are always a merciless reminder of the cruel gulf between reality and dreams.
I feel inferior again! Such emotions may creep up in my heart. We may even find that young people who are new to the workplace are paid more than those who have worked hard for many years. Does this mean that the efforts we put in are not being paid off as they should be?
There are various voices in society: "To put it bluntly, your parents are patriarchal!" Such straightforward and sharp words reveal the profound impact of traditional ideas and family prejudices on the fate of individuals. They also reflect the deep-rooted and hard-to-shake rules of the social structure.
It sounds like a joke, but it's something that really happened in some circles. And when you hear a rich kid complain that 60,000 yuan a month is not enough for living expenses, will you be shocked? Such an exaggerated and real number game makes us sigh: it turns out that the world is really big.
And who wouldn't want to have wealth that could be squandered without blinking an eye? I want to spend money without blinking an eye. It is not a sin to express one's yearning for a better life in such a frank way.
In the face of the stark disparity between the rich and the poor, the subtle and self-deprecating words of "I don't dare to make friends with the rich!" reveal a deep understanding that the economic base determines the social circle. "I am a mudslide!" Through such a simple metaphor that is close to the soil of life, some people ridicule their own situation in a humorous way.
Through the above portrayal and reflection, behind the laughter and laughter lies a deeper, more complex, and even slightly melancholy social insight. They guide us to look at our current environment, to explore solutions to problems, and to evoke empathy and a sense of action.
To sum up, the polarization between rich and poor is vividly portrayed through various techniques and emotional expressions, not simply for the sake of ridicule or envy of either side. Rather, it is hoped that this will lead to joint thinking and discussion on deeper social issues such as how to narrow the gap and how to create fairer opportunities. After all, everyone has an important role to play in working together for a better future.
