Under the rapid pulse of the 21st century, the flaunting of "strong country" is shocking.
We are proud of the magnificent picture of the motherland, but we often ignore the shadow part of this picture - the oppressed figures in the enterprise, the space squeezed by the ruthless working mechanism, and the rights and interests of workers who are ignored.
The dense overtime schedule on the work schedule, the popularity of single days off and large and small weeks, all point to an ironic reality: behind the blurred edge of legal boundaries, behind the "rise of great powers" lies a profound lack of consideration for the quality of life of ordinary people.
Behind the stage, the fierce pace of work is quietly eroding the happiness and balance of millions of workers. Xiao Li walked through the steel forest of the city, his steps hurried, as if he could catch up with the footsteps of time.
But when night falls, the brightly lit city does not bring him a warm family reunion, but a monotonous repetition of code and screen. Endless work and garment have become his daily life engraved in his heart,
And this daily life is the background color of the "strong country" picture.
On closer inspection, the crux of the problem is not elusive. The rise of a country should not only be based on economic growth and hard power, but should also be deeply rooted in the soil of every citizen's happy life.
Enterprises pursue profits, as they should be, but if they go too far and allow the disorderly growth of the working time system, they will trample on the basic humanistic care.
Just like in the silent oil painting, it seems as if everything has come to a standstill. Zhang Hua's daily life is a true portrayal of many Internet practitioners, who are accompanied by code every day, and working overtime late at night has become the norm.
Outside of work, he struggled to find a little time for himself, but in vain. The sweat and tears in the workplace are his daily companionship.
Sadly, reflection at the societal level is still faltering. Despite the fact that the law provides for a reasonable division of work and rest periods, the loopholes in practice are large enough for a truck to drive through.
In the face of blatant evasion in the name of legality, countless Zhang Hua rarely had the ability to protest, let alone resist.
Behind the complexity of the problem is the almost paranoid pursuit of interests and the neglect of the basic rights and interests of workers.
Every employee who has exhausted his energy should not be regarded as a gold-absorbing machine, but an individual who carries a different dream and dignity.
Such social values will not leave a lot of chicken feathers behind the exaggerated economic growth figures.
It is urgent to re-examine the rights and interests of workers, strictly enforce the law, and fundamentally change the corporate culture.
While bringing humanistic care back to the heart, enterprises should consciously rise up and regard the happiness of employees' lives as the cornerstone of enterprise prosperity.
The hand of the government must be firm, and the improvement of laws and regulations and the strength of supervision cannot be flinched; The heart of the enterprise must be pure, and the legitimate rights of employees should be respected; The eyes of society need to become brighter, and it is everyone's responsibility to protect the rights and interests of workers.
Rewind the clock, stand at the source of the grand narrative of the "rise of great powers", zoom in and focus on the dawn of recovery—the dark clouds hanging over the heads of every worker are slowly dissipating, and the voices of longing for change are growing little by little under the sun. What we want is not a loud slogan, but a tangible change.
In the torrent of history, turning a new page, we urgently need to write the next chapter of the "dream of a strong country" full of human feelings with practical actions.
When every worker finds a balance between work and life and enjoys due respect, our so-called "big country" will live up to its pride and pride.
This is the real and vivid picture of a strong country, and this is a country that everyone should be proud of.
