"The migrant workers used three rotten handbags to find out that the milk tea bag is the eternal god!"
On social platforms, more and more young people are collecting, transforming, and using milk tea bags. Spending the money of drinking milk tea, you can have the extra happiness of changing bags every day, and you can also choose at will according to your mood, and it is not the same seven days a week, isn't it beautiful?
The milk tea bags that should have been thrown into the trash can have turned into trendy items, which can be described as "the tattered of a generation of people", and contemporary young people are also going further and further on the road of "questioning my mother, resisting my mother, becoming my mother, and surpassing my mother......
Start by collecting milk tea bags and live like a "mother".
In the home of Xiao Chen, a post-95 girl, all kinds of milk tea bags, wrapping cartons, bottles and cans are neatly stored, filling the storage space of her rented apartment.
Xiao Chen joked to herself that the love of saving rags is a kind of "inheritance" from the bloodline, because she can see the shadow of her mother and even her grandmother more and more from herself.
"From childhood to adulthood, from plastic bags to cardboard, from rag heads to screws, my mother was reluctant to throw them away, and it turned her home into a scrap yard. At the time, I didn't understand it, and I thought that this thing was actually useless, and it couldn't be exchanged for any money by selling scrap products. Xiao Chen said. But when she entered the society and lived independently, she unconsciously copied her mother's habits.
"I only hoarded milk tea paper bags at first, because many bags are of good quality and good-looking, I think it's a pity to throw them away, and then I learned on the Internet that those milk tea bags with thermal insulation effect are very good for use as bento bags, and when I go out to travel and stay in hotels, I can also use them as simple foot soaking buckets and laundry bags, so I collect them all, and I always feel that these things will come in handy one day, so I save more and more." Xiao Chen said.
Xiao Chen is not alone, young people who fall in love with saving milk tea bags are scattered in small courtyards in Tiannan and Haibei, and they bubble on social platforms to exchange experiences, sharing their "bag saving" experience. Some people simply feel that they have lost a waste and want to maximize the value of the item, so they have explored the multiple uses of milk tea bags; Some people, out of their love for packaging design, cherish it as a work of art, and even deliberately buy milk tea bags that they don't have on second-hand trading platforms; There are also people who are creative and like to DIY, from storage bags and pen holders to cat beds and windshields, and are committed to exploring the infinite possibilities of milk tea bags.
Just like parents who are reluctant to throw away their shopping plastic bags, contemporary young people are starting from saving milk tea bags and gradually living as "mothers".
In addition to making the best use of things, capture the beauty and memories of life
In the context of Chinese society, frugality has always been seen as a virtue. Especially in times of scarcity, people are accustomed to saving everything that may be useful in case of emergency. The generation to which Xiao Chen's mother belonged and the ancestors of the earlier generations saved up their family funds in this kind of "baht must be compared".
With the changes of the times and the significant improvement of people's living conditions, the younger generation's understanding of thrift and accumulation has also changed. In the eyes of young people who like to save rags, it is important to make the best use of things, but it is more from a frank and chic perspective, do what they want to do, and in the process capture the beauty of life and achieve a freeze frame of life memory.
In Douban's "A Generation Has a Generation's Rags" group, more than 10,000 team members have become "art collectors" and have posted the "rags" they have accumulated for many years. Common clothes tags, gift boxes, gift bags, empty cosmetics plates, old tapes, train tickets, movie tickets, shopping receipts, items of specific colors, etc., outrageous scratch paper used when preparing for graduate school, empty pen refills used in three years of high school, and even catkins, pet hair and melon seed skin. It can be said that there are people saving for what you can think of and what you can't think of.
Some people will see small trash with a sense of design, such as milk tea bags, plastic bottle caps, and wine bottle stoppers, as wonderful materials for remodeling, and transform them into handicrafts and decorations to add a touch of fun to the home space.
There are also people who feel that collecting these items is more of an emotional sustenance, and they only need to save them to be satisfied. Because these things, which seem useless to outsiders, are carriers of personal memories. Every time I see them, I can think of the details of life related to them - or a limited state, or an interesting state of mind, or a person around me, different objects have different traces of life, and when put together, it is a person's life trajectory.
Of course, there are also many young people who have a negative view of the scraps. Especially for those who advocate minimalism, the first step is to learn to throw away, let alone collect things that are not practical. In any case, some people like to be empty and tidy, and some people like to be surrounded by objects, whether it is to break away or to save rags, it is these different understandings and choices of life that constitute thousands of us.
