Recently, a video went viral on social media of an elderly man spitting out his bitterness at the camera on a train.
The reason was that she found that the young man in her carriage had drawn the curtain on the lower berth of the sleeper and was unwilling to share his "lower berth".
As soon as this video came out, the friends on the Internet were like a fried pot, and there were many discussions!

Background of the story
In the sleeper car, an old man, a young man with a bowed head, and the "curtain" that was pulled up constituted the leading role of this "battle for the lower berth".
The young man in the lower bunk hung a curtain and made it look like a college student dormitory, and no one was allowed to sit on it.
The old man in the same carriage, with a confused and puzzled face, complained to the camera: "Look at these young people, the lower berth of the train sleeper is deliberately hung with a curtain, and the 70-year-old man is not allowed to sit." ”
Netizen camp
As soon as the video came out, netizens were divided into two factions, one side praised the young people, saying that they had nothing wrong with defending their rights;
On the other side, he is on the uncle's side, and he thinks that the young man should be a little personable, after all, the uncle is old.
The debate was like a good "debate game", with both sides being well-founded and difficult to judge.
The justification of young people
We bought a lower berth ticket, so we naturally have the right to enjoy this place. Besides, the sleeper space of the train is very small, and there is no place to put your feet when you squeeze people in, not to mention the need to consider personal privacy and hygiene.
Young people are saying on the Internet: "We also spent money, why should we give up our seats?" and "Aren't there special seats on the train? Why do we occupy our beds?" These voices are like a "self-declaration" of young people, defending their own rights and interests.
The appeal of the elderly
For long journeys, the elderly have inconvenient legs and feet, and the lower bunk is naturally the best choice. The old man thought to himself, I can't help it, if I can buy a lower berth ticket, I don't want to trouble you young people so much.
Communicate, maybe you can make up the difference and change your position. The old man's complaining is actually an expression of helplessness, he may really need a seat, rather than simply wanting to occupy the position of a young man.
Rules for sleeper trains
Speaking of this train sleeper, the lower berth ticket price is so expensive, and the space is pitifully small. However, there is an unwritten rule that during the day, the lower bunk is often a shared space for everyone, which is also a manifestation of human touch.
This kind of rule, although not explicitly stated, is part of the train culture, reflecting the mutual understanding and care between people.
The solution
At the end of the day, communication is king. The elderly can communicate with the young people in advance, or ask the flight attendant to help find a seat to rest. Instead of starting filming without saying a word, it is smart to solve the problem. Communication is like a key that can solve many unnecessary misunderstandings and contradictions.
Traditional virtues
Don't forget, respecting the old and loving the young is our traditional virtue. Young people show generosity in small things, and sometimes give up a seat, which is also a good way to convey warmth. This virtue is not only a respect for the elderly, but also a constraint and promotion of one's own behavior.
Concluding arguments
Well, there's no absolute right or wrong in black and white. The key is whether we can understand and respect each other.
The care and respect that young people have for the elderly is a virtue we want to see. At the same time, the elderly should also understand the difficulties and choices of young people, after all, no one is easy.
In this fast-paced society, we are all in a hurry, but can we slow down and give some warmth and care to others during the journey?
This is not just a question of train seats, but also a discussion of human nature and social morality. Let us feel with our hearts and practice with our actions, so that this society will be filled with more love and warmth.
After all, every time you give up your seat, it may be a touch of your heart, and every smile may become the sunshine in the hearts of others.
What do you think?
Finally, I would like to ask you what you think about this, and do you also think that sometimes, a simple smile and a seat can make the world a better place?
