Recently, a 70-year-old grandmother set the train bunk on fire! The sleeper compartment of the train has three positions: the upper, middle and lower positions for the hard sleeper, and the upper and lower berths for the soft sleeper! The lower berth is always hard to find!
Experts said: The question of whether to let others sit on the bunk seems simple on the surface, but in fact, it reflects the evolution of social culture and the awakening of individual consciousness.
Looking at the youth of the post-60s and post-70s, my grandmother and mother were these two generations, and they always put others first! Some people say that Chinese society at that time was in the early stage of construction, and it was materially scarce and spiritually rich. When collectivism prevailed, the spirit of "learning from Lei Feng" was admired to the extreme. People who buy bunks are often willing to share, believing that giving and sharing are the embodiment of virtue and the bridge of emotional connection between people. In that era, giving up the bunk he had just bought to those in need was not only a care for others, but also a conformity to social customs.
With the passage of time, the post-80s generation began to enter the social stage. This is a group of people who have grown up in the wave of reform and opening up, and they have the characteristics of intertwining tradition and modernity. Although the tide of the market economy began to surge and the personal consciousness gradually awakened, in the hearts of many people, the feelings of dedication have not faded. The post-80s generation who bought the lower bunk may hesitate at some point, but in the end they will still pass on the warmth to others, because that is their innermost insistence on beauty.
In the blink of an eye, the young people born in the 90s and 00s have stepped onto the stage of the times. They grew up in an era of information explosion and individual liberation, and they paid more attention to personal independence and a sense of boundaries than previous generations. It's not that they're selfish, it's that they prefer to have their own space and not be easily disturbed by others. For them, buying a bunk is more of an investment in their travel comfort. In their view, sharing a bunk with others is not impossible, but it should be based on mutual respect.
This kind of change is not a simple judgment of good and bad, but the inevitable result of social progress and the development of individual consciousness. People of each generation have their own unique lifestyles and values, which is a reflection of the diversity of social development. We cannot simply use a single standard to measure the behaviour of different generations, just as we cannot demand that the older generation fully accept the ideas of the new generation.
Some people say that society is made up of people of different generations, and understanding and tolerance are particularly important. Perhaps, in the early morning or dusk, we can still see in the sleeper compartment of the train, people of different generations chatting because of a lower berth, sharing their stories and smiles. Isn't this the epitome of a harmonious society that we expect to see?
It is also said that the train is a public place, and everyone has the right to choose, and the train radio does not often shout to everyone not to eat what strangers give, and not to tell strangers about their situation......
It has been said that no matter how times change, no matter how strong our sense of personal boundaries is, we will find respect for each other in our differences. Just like the 70-year-old grandmother in this story, she will definitely invite others to sit on her lower bunk! So she thinks that she can also sit on other people's lower bunks, because she is honest with others! The young baby who pulls the curtain may not want to be disturbed......
