Thrifty or slamming the door? Bargaining sparked heated discussions on the Internet
During a shopping scene on the reality TV show "Splendid Garden," Mr. Zhang demonstrated his bargaining skills, an act that immediately sparked heated discussions online.
Some viewers accused him of being stingy and thought that he should show a more generous side as a public figure. Zhang Songwen did not remain silent because of this, and he responded to the criticism on social platforms.
His response was not only about his own actions, but also about his personal actions, such as buying necessities for the elderly and helping to pay for the children of relatives.

Continuing to expand on this topic, Zhang Songwen asked rhetorically: "Will I be handsome if I don't bargain?" This remark was quickly picked up by netizens to make a fuss, and many people began to express their opinions on social media.
Among them, there are many voices that support Zhang Songwen, and some people say: "Even if you dress brightly and don't know how to save, that's really poor." ”
Some people also joked: "If bargaining can make you handsome, then isn't the vegetable aunt in the market the most handsome?" These comments were full of humor and sarcasm, attracting more netizens to join the discussion.

The personal acts of kindness mentioned by Zhang Songwen in his response are undoubtedly an attempt to prove that thrift is not out of selfishness, but out of the rational allocation and conservation of resources.
The questions he raised reflected the double standards of society towards consumer behaviour: on the one hand, it encouraged thrift, and on the other hand, it belittled thrift as "poor acid" in certain circumstances.
This has caused people to reflect on social values and consumption concepts, and made people start to think about how to balance personal thrift habits and social expectations while pursuing material quality of life.

Next, Zhang Songwen turned to haggling itself, which he described as a skillful and fun act, not only as a way to save money, but also as a social activity that could even be seen as an art.
His views quickly resonated with netizens, with one person saying: "I hope that everyone around me can bargain, so that I can save a lot of money when shopping." Another netizen said: "Bargaining is like a game, the two sides are playing, looking for a balance, and the process is full of fun." ”
Self-perception in consumer culture
Zhang Songwen's response and the heated discussion among netizens actually touched on a sensitive topic under the current consumer culture: how to maintain self-awareness in a world defined by material labels.
In the eyes of many, the level and manner of consumption is often used to measure a person's social status and personal taste.
Zhang Songwen's actions and opinions challenge this simple stereotype, and his response is not only a defense of his own behavior, but also a call to social consumerism, reminding people not to lose their reason and individuality while pursuing material comforts.
Who is the real poor acid?
The controversial conclusion of the article is that Zhang Songwen's bargaining behavior is not only a manifestation of personal habits, but also reflects society's complex views on money and consumption.
In this era of overconsumption, should Zhang Songwen's behavior really be labeled as "poor and sour"? Or does his behavior actually expose society's excessive pursuit of material things and money?
In the midst of praise and criticism, we can't help but ask, are the real "poor sour" those who do not know how to be thrifty, or those who excessively display and consume in order to be recognized by the outside world?
