Pretending to be a celebrity, living elegantly in Beijing for 21 days without spending a penny.
Do you think this is possible?
Incredible, right.
But a student at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Zou Yaqi did.
From May 1 to May 21 this year, Zou Yaqi used his own personal experience to prove the feasibility of this idea. Before embarking on this 21-day special experience, she first bought a fake Hermès bag for thousands of dollars, an 18-piece fake diamond ring, two high imitation necklaces, a velvet suit that looked quite textured, plus a real mink.
Then began her special "adventure" and was updated on Weibo.
"At midnight on May 1st, the adventure of the fake noblewoman and the real proletarian wanderer begins"
In these 21 days, Zou Yaqi first successfully blended into the first class lounge of Beijing Daxing and bathed in the mother and baby room. Then she dined in the first-class buffet area, and after eating, she took a lot of it privately, but the Hermès bag she had prepared in advance could not hold much.
At this time, she came to the GUCCI downstairs of the rest and said to the cabinet sister: "My things are scattered on the ground, can you give me a bag?" My plane is flying fast, and I will come here to spend money next time I have time. ”
So she easily got a bag with the big GUCCI logo printed on it, which made her enter and exit the lounge area more smoothly. Everyone thinks she's a rich person who's just spent time in a luxury store, but in reality, the bag is full of all kinds of small snacks she took from the rest area.
Since then, she has successfully slept and rested in the model room of IKEA and Haidilao.
On May 11, relying on borrowed invitations and an album, she successfully blended into the auction preview site of a five-star hotel in Wangfujing. Although Zou Yaqi's clothes were actually a little dirty at this time, her exquisite makeup, the dress of the noble lady Fan, and the deliberately exposed auction collection booklet still made her successfully enter.
At the auction site, it was also sold as a variety of sales promotions for customers, trying on jade bracelets worth tens of millions of dollars and emerald rings worth 600,000. And these genuine products are put together with his 18-piece fake diamond ring, and there is no other sale to see. What is more interesting is that during this period, there is also a security guard who pours water and stores coffee, and stalks to WeChat, Zou Yaqi guessed, perhaps because she is dressed and looks like a rich woman, so he wants to ask for a package.
Finally, she managed to take a comfortable shower in the shower room next to the big hotel.
This is actually Zou Yaqi's graduation project, named "Instant Ownership", that is, if I can have something in a certain moment, then I have it forever.
At the end of the 21-day white prostitution tour.
Zou Yaqi made his white prostitution trip into exhibitable materials and exhibited them at the CAFA Graduation Exhibition.
As the media spread, the incident caused controversy among people in various positions.
Some people think that Zou Yaqi is simply a lie, some people think that her behavior is worth pondering, and some people think that she is sensational. Everyone gave their own value judgment from their own standpoint, and I deeply agree with the comment of one of the netizens.
He said: "Although her whole experiment emphasizes free, it is actually her class that can make her pass smoothly." Her makeup, her choice of props and objects, her words of response to different occasions, are all from the accumulation of more than twenty years of superior life before her experiment. The more emphasis is placed on not spending money, the more it reflects the desperate gap between rich and poor. ”
Yes, the gap between rich and poor revealed by this experiment is the truth that made it explode the Internet.
There are always some people who talk about "all people are created equal", but in fact the world has never been equal, resources will always be tilted toward the rich, and they will have easier access to everything they want than hard-working ordinary people. This gap is not only reflected in the material, but also in the ability to see, think, self-confidence, and adapt to changes.
After Zou Yaqi's experiment was widely disseminated for 21 days, a migrant brother said that he knew that when he first came to Beijing, he also used this method, when he slept at McDonald's for a long time because he had no money.
But in fact, even if this little brother knows this method, he will most likely not succeed. Because his origin has already decided, he will not know how to get a ticket to the VIP lounge, can not calmly ask for help from the luxury cabinet sister, and cannot enter and exit the high-end place with ease.
Zou Yaqi herself once mentioned that all of them would have such thoughts because once her mother asked her to go to a luxury store and buy a watch for her father as a birthday gift. That is to say, before the experiment, Zou Yaqi lived such a life, she just removed the real money in the game.
Zou Yaqi is facing a game, and most people have to face a real life.
That is the reality.
It is precisely because of this truth that we can see the news that "fake celebrities" and "fake rich people" are recognized every three to five minutes.
In this game, the focus of everyone is on Zou Yaqi's body, but there is another group that has been ignored that deserves our attention, that is, the venue security guards, hotel waiters, luxury cabinet sisters, why a pseudonym with a fake bag and no money can easily deceive them.
The reason is simple: they only recognize people through symbols, and as long as the symbols are aligned, they are welcome.
As the line from the movie Isabella goes: "If you don't have Rolex, it's not that others look down on you, it's that you can't see you at all." Respecting people first and then respecting people has always been the most intuitive and efficient law of stranger society. "This phenomenon is really sad, it gives a lot of opportunists the opportunity, as long as they disguise symbols, they can exchange them for real resources, and those who really need resources may not be able to get them with all their efforts."
Reality is indeed far more absurd than fiction.
But no matter through this incident, I still find that people are more and more able to see the problem rationally. The gap between rich and poor is desperate, but seriously, it is not something we can change overnight. Credit Suisse's Global Wealth Report shows that there is a global wealth inequality, and the gap between rich and poor is serious, with 12.2% of the world's population sitting on 84.9% of wealth in 2020.
Since it can't be changed, it can only go with it, and proper self-paralysis is the key to the happiness of ordinary people.
