In the video, Brother Bread took his parents to swear in front of the camera: never say it, it would be better to lie at home if I knew this; Never say, the tickets are too expensive for you two to go in, and I'm standing outside; If you see something delicious, you can buy it directly; Don't get up early in the morning, don't be in a hurry to travel, go out happily, go home happily, and resolutely complete the travel plan. Many netizens under the video resonated, saying, "I didn't swear an oath when it rained", "My parents are parents who don't disappoint fun, and they play everything when they go out", "I'll send it to my mother after a while, it turns out that most parents are like this." ”

On May 3, the reporter contacted the party Mr. Wang, who told the reporter that his family lived in Meihekou, Jilin, and wanted to take his parents to the surrounding area during the May Day holiday, relax, and make such an oath before traveling, mainly because he went out with his family before going out, and there was often a very disappointing situation. "Go out with my parents, because the older generation is not very willing to spend money, and then take them out to play, sometimes they are more economical, and they don't want to eat or play anything. ”

Mr. Wang said that instead of traveling and having fun, it is better to make an appointment with his parents in three chapters. "They may be a generation of people who rarely go out, and then they think that they have the ability to take them out to play and feel the life of young people, but they often say that, they will feel very disappointed, and then everyone will not have a good time, so I will have a three-chapter covenant with them, I want them to have a good time. ”
Mr. Wang introduced that he was going to set off to play in the surrounding area this afternoon, hoping to make his parents have fun this time.

As soon as the video of the oath before travel came out, many netizens rushed to imitate it, some took an oath before traveling with friends, some took an oath before traveling with their husbands, and some took an oath before traveling with their families. Mei Zhigang, director of the Social Welfare Research Center of Central China Normal University, introduced that there is a great difference between the two generations of children and parents in the concept of consumption, and the younger generation through the form of oath, so that the elderly can learn to accept the modern attitude to life, lifestyle, and consumption mode, and the form of the oath is a sense of solemnity and ritual for the older generation, a kind of commitment. Through this kind of ritual, the elderly can learn to accept new ideas, learn to accept new life attitudes and life values in the process of traveling with their children, which is particularly interesting. And now more people are imitating, and it is also through this sense of ritual to level everyone's values and behaviors, so that everyone can reach a more agreeable and enjoy a happy holiday.
Shang Chongsheng, deputy director of the Urban Security and Social Management Research Center of Wuhan University, told reporters that this is not a spoof, at most a "good-will" spoof, that is, the so-called "eye-catching", and using such an oath to restrain young people from going out to travel without regrets, even if they don't go out to play, they are also making a joke and "making trouble" on the Internet, so that young people can play new tricks, and it will not have a bad impact.
