In the 2010 movie "People in Embarrassment", Wang Baoqiang drank a bucket of 5 liters of milk on the spot.
At that time, this scene shocked the security check of the airport, and also caused the audience to laugh under the big screen.
This bun is really delicious!
It's just a bucket of milk, and if you lose it, you lose it!
Many years later, when the audience in 2023 watches this movie again, they have a different experience in their hearts.
A few days ago, a netizen posted:
"Now I understand more and more that Wang Baoqiang drinks milk. ”
She said that before this was put away, drinking milk in a crowded airport hall must have felt super humiliating, and carrying an oversized duffel bag would also make me feel embarrassed.
But now I don't feel it anymore when I take the high-speed train with a few liters of mineral water on my back, or on the high-speed train with a snakeskin bag in my hand.
I don't care what other people think anymore, even if I walk on the road with a bucket, a hanger, and a toilet now, I'm natural.
The inexplicable shame doesn't affect me much anymore
What does that mean?
Laugh at Baoqiang, understand Baoqiang, and become Baoqiang.
Under this post, there are countless "Baoqiang followers" who share their experiences:
"In the past, it would be a bit embarrassing to pack, but now, I pack all these and thoroughfares, and I have to take away the tissues. ”
Leaders also take the lead in packing:
Noble durians are not allowed to be brought on the train, and they would rather show off their whole stomachs on the spot than waste them.
Even a 10-year-old milk doll can fill two bottles of milk at the airport because she loves milk and is reluctant to throw it away.
Some netizens summarized the mental journey of such a change:
"I used to look: hahaha, but now I look: if I don't drink it, do I lose it?"
There is reason to suspect that it was the smash hit Zibo barbecue last year that opened up young people.
Fashionistas, once drowned in a sea of consumerism, are now increasingly showing a strong sense of swimming against the current.
The more you promote something, the more I oppose it, focusing on disobedience and rebellion.
A kind blogger taught everyone in the video how to easily take a food blockbuster with a mobile phone when eating out.
However, netizens not only did not thank the blogger for the dry goods for taking pictures, but also couldn't wait to start the spit mode in the barrage, focusing on a pragmatic:
"Eat and eat, so many things!"
"I see that I'm in a hurry, what are you going to eat when the dishes are cold!"
"The food was cold, so I chose to eat. ”
The same voice is in the comment section:
"The filming is over, and the rice is cold. ”
"I'll be full when you're done. ”
"I'll eat or the camera will eat, wait until the dishes are all on and shoot for half an hour, so it won't be cold."
"You shoot commercials, I shoot life. ”
Compared with the once supreme table manners of eating with mobile phones, young people are becoming more and more practical.
The nine-square grid full of retouched pictures, the flashy circle of friends can no longer arouse their interest, and only what they eat in their stomachs is genuine.
Yes, young people are becoming more and more rebellious when it comes to consumerism.
Not only is it a change in drinking milk at the airport and eating on the side of the mobile phone, but also young people who have learned well have begun to rebel against being PUA by tour guides when they go out to travel, buying a bunch of expensive and impractical "local specialties", but the style of painting has changed, only buying soil, not expensive!
Like what
In addition to offline mutiny, there is also online.
For example, oatmeal from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, konjac silk from Southwest University, and 25 tobacco potatoes from the "Hermes in Sweet Potatoes" cultivated by the Yantai Academy of Agricultural Sciences......
It is cheap and delicious, and young people have praised it one after another.
They will no longer be deceived by the excessive packaging of bells and whistles, and those local specialties with clean ingredient lists and simple production processes have been dug out by them one after another and become new favorites.
Naturally, the local products sent by relatives from their hometown were also included in their pockets one by one.
As a wandering member of the icy big city, this group of wanderers in a foreign land is too hungry for this familiar old taste.
There are even young people who "sneak into" the elderly canteen opened in the community, and eat cheap and high-quality welfare meals at a young age, which is too fragrant:
And this year's new fashion of "it's not that down jackets can't be bought, but military coats are more cost-effective", young people can't wait to turn their elders' wardrobes upside down:
The title of "Post-00s Abandon Consumerism and Pursue Pragmatism" even hit the hot search for a time, and the capital was caught off guard.
Compared with the previous only looking at brands, prices, and advertisements, young people are becoming more and more "listening to their mothers", pursuing more cost-effectiveness, and thinking twice when spending every money.
Even if the money is spent, it must be spent in a different way so that it continues to contribute value.
For example, the paper bag sent by buying clothes is used as a commuting bag, and the milk tea insulated handbag is packed with lunch:
Xiao Wang, a 25-year-old girl from Hangzhou, has been carrying a milk tea paper bag for more than half a year.
"It really works and saves money on a leather bag. ”
You know, the price of a women's handbag can cost hundreds at every turn.
Someone asked her, wouldn't she feel cold when she commuted to work with a takeaway bag?
Xiao Wang replied briskly: "It's not ashamed, and it's so fragrant!"
In her eyes, this is a consumption upgrade.
"As a contemporary young person, it is a strength not to be swept away by consumerism. ”
Some people say that prices feel higher and higher these days.
But in fact, as long as we observe carefully, we will find that when you take the initiative to downgrade consumption, the cost of living is actually not so high.
For example, when I used to go shopping, I wanted to walk into a coffee shop or bubble tea shop at every turn, even if it was a person, there were no more than 20 yuan;
For another example, Xi are used to eating out or ordering takeout, and are too lazy to cook for themselves, and the expenditure on meals every month is ridiculously high.
But as long as you go out, fill your bag with a thermos cup full of boiled water, and go to the vegetable market once or twice a week to buy some fresh vegetables and vegetables to cook for yourself, you will find that the cost of living can be very low.
The money for a cup of milk tea can make a hearty breakfast, and the money for a meal out is enough to cover the expenses of cooking at home for a week.
Don't underestimate every expense, it adds up to a lot of money.
This netizen has personally experienced the happiness brought by consumption downgrade.
On the way home in the evening, I saw a sweet potato seller on the side of the road, and these two big bags were only 10 yuan.
When I got home, I baked one in the air fryer, and it was very sweet, not losing at all the roasted sweet potatoes that I bought out for a dozen pieces.
And these two bags of sweet potatoes for 10 yuan are enough for her to eat for two weeks.
Everyone thinks this is a consumption downgrade, but I'm wondering, is there a possibility that this is what life should be?
In fact, many needs are deliberately created by capital, such as the infamous "first cup of milk tea in autumn" and "the first bouquet of roses on Valentine's Day".
The most famous is the diamond ring that was unusually promoted.
In essence, it is no different from a pencil lead made of carbon atoms, but since the emergence of diamond and jewelry merchants who have promoted it and forcibly placed loyal love on it, this stone has since had the property of fascinating thousands of women, and has made countless men shy and pay for it.
It is ironic that these objects, which were supposed to serve humanity, now rule over people in reverse.
In the new year, I wish everyone no longer be coerced by consumerism, spend every penny happily, and get the best value for money!
