In life, there are always some people who live on the streets for various reasons. A few days ago, a video of "a girl living on the floor under the bridge for 37 days" sparked heated discussions on the Internet. In the video, a woman takes the bridge as her home, spreads a mat on the ground, covers it with a blanket, and puts various daily necessities around it, making it look like she is really living under the bridge.
According to the woman's own account, she ran away from home in anger because of a conflict with her parents, and wandered outside for 37 days. Since she was penniless, in order to save accommodation fees, she had to choose to sleep in the bridge cave. Although the society is now developed, there are still many homeless people like her who have to sleep on the streets.
Netizens who saw the video expressed sympathy, feeling that the girl's living conditions were too difficult. Someone said: "It must be cold and humid at night, and there are mosquito bites, which is too distressing." Others believe that homeless life is too unsafe for a girl, "Young girls are adrift and can easily encounter danger. "
However, some sharp-eyed netizens found that some details in the video were a little suspicious. For example, the girl has two buckets of instant noodles in her "belongings", but she doesn't have a kettle or stove, and she doesn't know how to cook noodles. The bridge is damp and cold, even if you light mosquito coils, mosquitoes are still rampant, and it is not suitable for long-term stay. The most suspicious thing is that some of the video footage was obviously shot on the other side of the bridge, and it is impossible for the girl to run to the opposite side of the mobile phone in order to shoot the video.
The reversal of the situation came in a report from a fisherman. It turned out that next to the bridge where the girl was "encamped", there was a fishing enthusiast who was fishing all the time. The angler said that he was at the scene at the time, and the girl did not really live in the bridge cave, and packed up and left after filming the video. It seems that the so-called "bridge cave life" is nothing more than a farce.
Similar "bitter dramas" that win sympathy and attract attention have been common on short video platforms in recent years. Some girls don't want to work hard, and always want to easily make money by shooting videos, which often backfires. Because everyone is gradually tired of the aesthetics of such videos, coupled with the extremely low cost of counterfeiting, the trick of deception is quickly recognized.
In fact, everyone can also understand the psychology of young people who want to be famous and make quick money. According to the "2022 China Internet Celebrity Economic Development Insight Report", the number of employees in the mainland Internet celebrity industry has exceeded 30 million, and the overall market size has exceeded 500 billion. Such a huge cake has made countless people rush to it. However, the report also pointed out that 91% of Internet celebrities have a monthly income of less than 10,000 yuan, and those who can obtain considerable income in the long term are just a few.
In fact, live broadcasts, short videos, etc., are only prosperous on the surface, and the competition behind them is extremely cruel. Without real talent and learning, even if there is a moment of luck, it is difficult to maintain long-term popularity. Instead of wasting time on weaving the "dream of getting rich", it is better to work down-to-earth and give life a solid guarantee.
Of course, not everyone has a skill to make a living, and the survival situation of some disadvantaged groups is also worth paying attention to. According to media reports, there are more than 14,000 homeless beggars in Beijing alone. Most of them have no fixed residence and make a living by scavenging and begging. As a responsible society, we should care about everyone in need and not treat them as a joke.
To sum up, although the story of the bridge girl is made up, it also gives us some reflections: on the one hand, we must pursue progress and create value with honest labor; On the other hand, it is necessary to care for the disadvantaged groups and build an urban ecology that helps each other. How do you think we can avoid being blinded by false information and treat every life with reason and empathy?
