At around 7 p.m. on January 1, 2024, a 59-year-old delivery man from Sichuan collapsed in the Lushanyuan Community in Hefei, Anhui Province. The temperature of the day was 0-8 degrees, which added a touch of bleakness to the already sad event.
It is understood that the delivery man's surname is Ning, a native of Sichuan, who will come to Hefei to work after the Chinese New Year in 2023. Mr. Ning was originally a construction worker and has been in the industry for many years, but I don't know if it is because it is difficult to find a job in the construction industry, or if his body can't bear that kind of intensity, he chose to become a delivery boy this summer.
On the night of New Year's Day, Mr. Ning went to the Lushanyuan community to deliver takeaways, but this community does not allow electric vehicles to enter, so it can only be entered on foot. When Mr. Ning walked to the children's playground in the community, he suddenly collapsed. When he fell, he still had the takeaway he was going to deliver.
The takeaway was ordered by a customer at 18:31 and is expected to be delivered by 19:42, and it contains a bibimbap and 6 slices of Changsha stinky tofu.
Just after Mr. Ning fell, the owner of the community found out and informed the property security as soon as possible, and after the security guard came, Mr. Ning did not move. At this time, there were also owners who dialed 120, and before the arrival of 120, the staff was also teaching the owners to do cardiopulmonary resuscitation, even if everyone was trying, but when 120 arrived at the scene, there was no heartbeat and breathing.
A tragedy that fell from the sky fell on Mr. Ning's family, and what is even more ironic is that this is a 59-year-old delivery man, and the day of his sudden death is the first day of the New Year in the 2024 solar calendar.
Seeing this tragedy, one of the netizens who liked the most said that this is the difficult choice of ordinary people, who are 59 years old and will reach retirement age in one year.
Indeed, at this age, for some occupations, they are basically in a state of semi-retirement, and even if they do not go to work, the salary will not be less. What's more, after retirement, the salary is also in the thousands. Some people with higher levels will have a retirement salary of tens of thousands of yuan every month.
However, Mr. Ning is only a migrant worker, and there is no company to pay social security for him, and there is no number of years of deemed contributions, and there is no such thing as retirement salary.
Fortunately, the state will give farmers a part of the rural social pension every month, and farmers over the age of 60 in most areas can receive more than 100 yuan per month. If the elderly cultivate their own land in the countryside, they still have an income of more than 100 yuan per month, which can maintain a basic life.
The prerequisite is that you can't get sick and you can't have other expenses. However, what old man will not get sick? Therefore, most of the elderly in the countryside do not have the idea of retirement. Many elderly people in their 80s are still working in the fields, and the reason for this is simple, just to avoid causing trouble for their children.
Some netizens also commented: What is the little girl who sells matches?
Although we do not live in the land of Hans Christian Andersen, how similar is the sudden death of a delivery boy to a little match girl?
The little girl sells matches on cold winter nights just to earn a little money to survive. The delivery workers brave the cold wind in winter, also to earn a little money to supplement the family. What is different is that the little girl fell on the night before the arrival of the New Year, and Mr. Ning, the delivery man, fell on the first night of New Year's Day.
We are all sad to see the tragedy of Mr. Ning, and it is difficult for us to do anything to make amends for the tragedy that has happened. But we can learn from this and avoid a tragedy like this again.
Personally, I highly recommend that all workers pay a social security for themselves, many companies will pay, some companies will not, so we will save money to pay. Although on the surface, we pay more than 1,000 yuan a month, a bit of pain, but when we are old, at least we can receive a retirement salary every month, which is equivalent to forced savings, many people do not pay social security, and they still can't save money when they are old, so why not do it (unless the family can't survive without this money)? This money may not be a lot, but it can basically cover the daily expenses and the cost of taking medicine when we are sick, and we don't need to race against time to make money when we are old.
Don't be too happy too early, the mainland will face the problem of a shortage of young labor in the future, and social security will not allow us to enjoy our old age. If we have a certain amount of savings, we can buy another commercial insurance for ourselves. This is equivalent to giving us a double insurance in our old age, and life is even worse.
Many people may say: "How much pressure is life now, how can there be so much money to pay social security and commercial insurance?"
At this time, we need to re-examine our lives, whether we still have ways to increase our income, as long as we can increase our income, we can come up with more money to protect ourselves. If we are now constrained by various difficulties, then we should think about whether we can delay gratification? Don't be too lascivious, save some of the money we can spend on a daily basis, and maybe give ourselves a little more security in our old age.
In short, you can only rely on yourself for the elderly!
This is the best of times, but also the worst of times, with disruptive innovation and new business models integrated, the whole world is your stage!
In the world of new business, there are no eliminated industries, only enterprises that have been subverted, and now all business competition will focus on "subversion and reconstruction".
A company or a boss is doomed to fail early if it lacks the ability to subvert and restructure.
Remember: without innovation, how can there be imagination, without imagination, how can there be competitiveness, if you want to break through, you must subvert the original business model, reconstruct a new business model!
