Two days ago, a piece of news was very popular.
There is an aunt who signed up for a 4-day and 3-night Guilin elderly group tour at a low price.
How cheap is it? 40 pieces! Two cups of milk tea money.
It's a scam at first hearing. 40 yuan for food and lodging, and also for ferry tickets. 100% shopping group, right.
Her son wouldn't let her go, she had to go. The person who said that the tour group said that it was so cheap because of the national Jia subsidy, and also said that his son was a little abnormal.
Loading...
opened the comment area, and many netizens scolded her.
"That's how the greedy are like."
"Just thinking about pie in the sky?"
"Such a mother is pathetic and hateful!"
"I deserve to be scolded by the tour guide for reporting such a group."
Yes, knowing that 40 yuan is not even enough for the fare, he also promised to eat and live. What do you think?
If I were her son, I would probably be so angry that I would want to call the police.
It's just that it's always easy to point fingers. Isn't it stupid at a glance - anyway, the people who speak are sure that they will not report cheap tours in their lives, and scammers will never deceive themselves.
Out of sight?
I don't know what this aunt's family background is. It is not excluded that they really just want to take advantage, and there are also elderly people who don't really care about shopping and just want to go out with the group.
There is one more case.
I would like to ask you, do you know how many elderly people in the countryside have never left the local area in their lives?
Do you know how many old people have never been on a train, high-speed rail, or plane in their lives?
If the life of the average person is side A.
Then their lives are the B side of the world that we will never be able to come into contact with.
I know that this kind of tour group is a black-hearted shopping group. In order to keep costs down, we have to sit for a long time every day, and we will arrange a lot of shopping trips. If you spend more money to buy things, you may not be able to go to a few attractions at all, and you will have to face the pressure of the black tour guide pointing his nose and scolding them for buying less.
Even so, I want to happily take a high-speed train, take a few photos, and go back to the village to show off with my neighbors, sons and daughters.
About seven years ago, I wrote an article called "Don't Test the Poor with Money."
I still have the same idea:
A moral level above the social average is the privilege of those who are well fed and well-fed.
The reason why cheap black-hearted tour groups have always had the soil to survive is because this is one of the few opportunities for many frugal old people to go out and see the world in their lives.
How many poor people are there in this world? Many people may not be aware of it.
Just two days ago, I swiped a screenshot of a good review of a pastry posted by a blogger.
"The pastry was received and it was good. It's delicious when I opened it. It's a branded pastry. I bought it for my wife. I was too poor in the first 30 years, but now I am not poor, but my blood sugar is high, and I can't eat sweets. There is no way in this life. ”
"There is no way in this life." Just one line of words, it hurts to see it.
What is the biggest regret of ordinary people?
I used to think that it was "to buy osmanthus and carry wine, but it is not the same, and the youth travels", but now I know that it is "when I come not in spring, and when I go to the city in spring".
The biggest regret of ordinary people is that they can't catch up with the good time.
How much does the gift box cost? I searched on the Internet, and the average price of different stores was around sixty or seventy yuan.
Less than a hundred is not enough for many young people to pay for a meal.
The destination we were born with at our fingertips, he longed for half a lifetime to arrive—
It's a pity that at this age, his body doesn't allow him to eat even one more piece.
Internet algorithms have aggravated the information cocoon, and also contributed to people's narrow-mindedness and selfishness.
We always focus on ourselves and rarely look at others.
It was also after downloading the Pin*Duo app,I knew,100 TVs spelled 100,000 units。
3 pieces of down jackets sell tens of thousands of pieces a month.
10 pieces, 100 pieces of free shipping bulk sanitary napkins, why do you dare to buy?
"I'm in trouble."
Of course, it can be ridiculed and despised for it.
The never-ending threads on the clothes, the fruits that are still reluctant to throw away when they are half rotten, cheap electrical appliances and cotton jackets, intimate sanitary napkins of unknown origin, and the "trip" that is scolded by the tour guide like a dog.
How can they not be embarrassed, they live so undignified.
However, in your opinion, the fake mao is shoddy, and the deception may be one of the few sources of happiness for them.
Because their budget is only enough for such consumption.
It's easy to criticize a stranger from the vantage point, but it's hard to understand a life you haven't experienced.
It's just that a lot of times, we take advantage of the right time and place. Genes, education, personality, family background...... Do the things that make us proud really come from hard work? Or is there also some luck and timing in it?
The identities of the weak and the strong are often interchangeable, and they only need a big wave that is caught off guard.
No matter how cheap the goods are, the happiness of ordinary people is not cheap at all.
Ordinary people don't live a rough life, what is really ugly is the arrogant eyes with a prejudice filter.
