In the follow-up of "Hanging Curtains on the Lower Bunk of the Train", 12306 responded sharply, and the central media commented sharply, can others sit on the lower bunk?
The train hard sleeper has always been the most sought-after location as it undoubtedly offers the best comfort and privacy. But just recently, a video of a young man in the lower bunk pulling up a small curtain to prevent elderly passengers from using the lower bunk has been fried on the Internet. In the video, the old lady in her 70s complained that she was too old to climb the top bunk, but was ignored by the two young people in the lower bunk. This has caused many netizens to condemn young people for their lack of public morality, and the elderly have also been accused of "being old and not retreating".

How to sit on the 12306 authoritative bunk?
The controversy continued to ferment until the official customer service of 12306 responded to the dispute. So, who should dominate the use of the lower bunk? Can middle-aged and elderly people sit on the lower berth? Are young people asking for private space, or are they small-bellied? Let's take a look at the specific points of contention and give some possible suggestions for solutions.
Set up the camera at the slightest disagreement
According to the video, an old lady in her 70s saw two young people in the lower bunk closing the small curtain when she was resting in the upper bunk, she felt that this was occupying the lower bunk and not letting her sit, so she took out her mobile phone and began to photograph the young man, claiming that she was too old to climb the upper bunk, and it was unreasonable not to let her sit in the lower bunk. The two young men ignored this, and sat in the lower bunk under the curtain.
The heat continues to rise, and 12306 officials intervene in mediation
This video went viral on the Internet, and many netizens scolded the two young people for being too selfish and not knowing how to respect the old and love the young. The controversy intensified, and even the official railway passenger transport 12306 was forced to respond to the matter.
Who is right and who is wrong on both sides?12306 has an ambiguous attitude
The staff of 12306 said that although there is no clear rule that small curtains cannot be drawn, it should be negotiated with other passengers out of courtesy. It sounds like he is defending the rights of two young people, but he is a little unpleasant to say that he should consult others first.
Is the young man a bunk overlord or a stingy one?
Regarding this response, some netizens directly scolded 12306: "Why do you have to negotiate with passengers? I bought a lower berth ticket, and the lower berth will be used by me during this trip, and others who want to sit must go through my permission, this is a natural right, right?"
Another elderly person is unhappy with the younger people: "The ticket price of the lower berth is more expensive than the upper middle berth, and this is the price of service and comfort." Older people cannot use this as a reason for moral kidnapping, and we should learn to respect everyone's autonomy in consumption. "
The central media spoke out
If you are old or have limited mobility, you need to use the lower berth temporarily even for the whole process, you should talk to the passengers in the lower berth, and politely negotiate to solve it, instead of taking a video and sending it to the Internet for "moral judgment" if you don't agree.
It's time to come up with a reasonable solution
However, some netizens gave a more pertinent analysis:
"It's a complicated issue. Judging from the layout, the small table in the middle of the lower berth itself should be a common area that can also be used by passengers in the middle and upper berths. Therefore, passengers in the lower berth cannot completely turn away other passengers, but at the same time, if the middle and upper berth passengers need to use the lower berth, they should also try not to disturb the lower berth passengers, and mutual understanding is the best solution.
Instead of blaming young people, old ladies should kindly put forward their own needs, and then everyone will discuss solutions. "
Conclusion: Be more tolerant and understanding of each other
Overall, this is indeed a rule that is difficult to unify. Passengers in the lower berth pay more and should naturally have the right to give priority and dominate the use of the lower berth. But after all, the train is small, and it is understandable for passengers in the middle and upper berths to use the lower berth for a short time without affecting the passengers in the lower berth.
