October 14 is a traditional Chinese festival, the 99 Chongyang Festival, and because it is also known as "Old People's Day", most people will choose to reunite with their families on this day. However, whenever the Spring Festival, Chongyang, Mid-Autumn Festival and other traditional festivals come, a strange phenomenon will appear on social platforms such as Weibo and Circle of Friends: everyone invariably brushes koi and bodhisattva pictures to bless the health of their families; po produces a red background photo with "everything goes well and good luck"; the words of blessing are matched with the expression of folding hands... "The way of cloud filial piety" seems to be more and more concerned by people, becoming a punch card project before the festival, but at the same time, many netizens joked: "You wish your mother a happy birthday in the circle of friends." Does Mom really know? ”
At noon on the 13th, the Mammoth News reporter found that there were already scattered people who had begun to punch in the circle of friends "Cloud Filial Piety" project when browsing on the Internet. Most of the copywriting is a blessing for yourself and your family, including good health, smooth work, long life and 100 years old, accompanied by some red and festive, allegorical koi, bodhisattva, doll fish picture. Qin Dan (pseudonym) told reporters that because of work reasons, he could not often go home to visit his parents, "In his twenties, there are many words that cannot be said in front of them, and he always feels strange, so he will think of posting it on the Internet, and he can also say it, hoping that his parents can see it." She shrugged helplessly.
For the way of "filial piety in the clouds", Qin Dan said bluntly: "It can only be regarded as a kind of psychological comfort for yourself." My parents are old, they can't play WeChat, probably won't see the blessings I sent, a lot of unspoken words posted on the Internet, for me is to find an excuse for myself to do filial piety. ”
Qin Dan is not an isolated case, in the process of visiting, the reporter noticed that although many people express their blessings in the circle of friends, but in real life, for various reasons, there is very little companionship for their families.
Guo Ling (not her real name), a 26-year-old from Shangqiu, works for a construction company in Zhengzhou. On weekdays, she often buys some daily necessities for her parents in her hometown, and when she encounters something useful, Guo Ling will also share it in the circle of friends. When the reporter asked her whether the neck massager she bought for her parents around May Day was easy to use, she smiled awkwardly: "The one bought online is sent directly to the home, I have not taken the time to go home to teach them how to use, the courier has been put there without dismantling." In this way, Guo Ling has not been home for 5 months.
"One day off every week, if you go home, the time is all delayed on the road, so I don't go back often, and I really haven't spent many years with my parents, so I can only buy them more things." Guo Ling said that before going home, she suddenly saw her father's waist bent, "That time I felt that my parents seemed to be getting older, and every time I came home, my mother cooked a table of dishes, and the most she said was 'stay at home for two more days'." ”
Guo Ling believes that although the starting point of "cloud filial piety" is good, it is ironic in the end, "filial piety is not how much money to give parents, how many things to buy is so simple, the real filial piety is far more than this." ”
