The outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic has broken the hustle and bustle and beauty of the Spring Festival. While the epidemic has brought us uneasiness, it has also made us stop, observe ourselves, and examine our lives. Some people began to pay attention to physical and mental health and the improvement of their own abilities; some people set new goals and vowed to "make up" the lost time; and some families realized the importance of a healthy family lifestyle.
Recently, the reporter interviewed some families and individuals about the changes in financial concepts, lifestyles, and family relationships due to the epidemic.
Financial management The subverted view of financial management
"In the 3 years since I opened the store, I have spent almost every month of money. I always felt like I was young and didn't have to save money. "After 95, Li Miaomiao opened a nail salon, the business in the shop has been good, she can basically earn 20,000 or 30,000 yuan per month, but even if the income is very high, Li Miaomiao has almost no savings."
"There are 4 technicians in the shop, and I basically spend all the money I earn every month except for the technician's fixed salary, rent, water, electricity and other expenses." On February 24, Li Miaomiao told reporters, "I am used to spending money and spending a lot of money, and I always think that I have the ability to make money, so I have never considered the problem of saving money." ”
However, a sudden epidemic has changed Li Miaomiao's understanding and concept of money. "After the outbreak of the epidemic, suddenly there was no income, but the salary, rent and other expenses still had to be paid, I really had no way, and borrowed 50,000 yuan from my family to maintain turnover." Li Miaomiao said, "Many friends in Weibo and the circle of friends are worried about how to repay credit cards, car loans, and housing loans, and some people say that they are about to 'eat soil'." Looking at it and thinking about it, I still decided to learn to save money and have a sense of crisis in the future. ”
Indeed, many people face a real question – how long can we sustain if revenues are affected?
"The mortgage can be extended, but it must always be repaid." Xu Zhihui, a parent of a high school student, said so, "Children who have just worked do not have to support their families, they can 'moonlight', we can't, every month we have to have some savings, otherwise they will be really panicked when they encounter things." ”
"When the pandemic first started, I was still upset that I couldn't travel. But now, I'm thinking about how to make money and save money after the pandemic. Xiong Xin, who works at a financial institution in Xi'an High-tech Zone, said.
"Don't panic if you have surplus grain in your hand." At present, many young people have long been accustomed to "moonlight" and advanced consumption, and an epidemic has made many former "moonlight" young people secretly determined to change the past "overdraft consumption" lifestyle.
"Not only to learn to save money and save money, but more importantly, to improve the ability to make money." Xiong Xin said that during the epidemic prevention and control period, since you can only stay at home, in addition to being bored to pass the time, you can also choose to learn to improve yourself.
"It turns out that the reason for always shirking learning because there is no time, can not stand on its feet, at this moment, the richest is time." I hope that this special holiday, we can all be healthy, optimistic, continue to learn, store energy for ourselves, and greet the days after the epidemic with a firmer and more confident attitude. Xiong Xin said.
Family
Companionship and understanding are paramount
Cooking with her mother, washing her mother's hair, taking her mother to do yoga, in this long holiday, Ren Jiajia has done a lot of things that she has not done to her mother before.
"I feel very happy to have been with my mother for so long." Ren Jiajia, who went to Beijing for university at the age of 18 and continued to work in Beijing after graduation, said.
Every year during the Spring Festival, Ren Jiajia always came and went in a hurry, and she had to return to Beijing after staying at home for a few days. This year, because of the epidemic, Ren Jiajia stayed at home for almost a month. "Dad died a few years ago and I didn't see dad for the last time because of the long distance. I really want to spend the rest of my life with my mother, but I usually fall into a busy job and still ignore my mother. Ren Jiajia said.
"All along, our parents and family have given us a lot, but we take it for granted, and we don't give back to them much." Ren Jiajia said that in the past month, she has understood a truth: for parents, understanding and companionship is an indispensable warmth, life is not so much to come to Japan, we must cherish every present and every day to stay together.
In addition to accompanying parents, the epidemic has also made many people with children realize the importance of parent-child companionship. Although school time has come, the epidemic has forced children to stay at home and spend a special "reunion" time with their parents.
Pan Mengmeng, who runs a restaurant in Kaide Square, Yanta District, Xi'an City, said that in order to earn money, he usually gets up early every day and is greedy and dark, and has no time to manage his children. Most of the time, the child lives with grandparents. "One day the child said to me, Mom, you finally have time to play with me. After listening to this sentence, I was stunned, and then I realized that I had not been with my child for a long time. ”
In addition to realizing the importance of companionship, many people see the hardships and difficulties of their other half and learn to be considerate.
Liu Weizhi, who works in a public institution in Xi'an, said that the family stays together from morning to night every day, and the shortcomings of being suppressed by work and various things on weekdays will continue to be magnified in these days. "I see my wife's difficulties, most of the time she is responsible for taking care of the family, I have always felt that doing housework is a very simple thing, and now I know that it is not easy." 」 Liu Weizhi said that it took him a few days to understand why his wife had complained before.
An epidemic has made us know the importance of companionship and love, and we have learned to understand the difficulties of every family member. In this special period, we are all constantly asking ourselves: What is the greatest happiness in life? In fact, a healthy family and hugging each other is the greatest happiness.
life
Live healthier
Recently, the most important thing that everyone is concerned about is the progress of the epidemic, and I hope that all this will pass quickly.
"In this period of days when I can't go out, in addition to eating, sleeping, and playing, I have been thinking about what kind of posture I want to use to live the rest of my life when I go out of the house again." Li Yufei, a new media worker, said that an epidemic has made many people determined to live in a healthier way and concept.
"In the past, I was ten fingers without touching the yang spring water, but during this time with the vibrato, I not only learned to stir-fry vegetables and steam rice, but also learned to make difficult cold skins and bread." Li Xiaoyan, a citizen of Xi'an, said, "In fact, some things are not impossible to do, but whether they want to learn or not." In the future, as long as I am not busy, I will make my own food, which is both economical and healthy. ”
Xi'an citizen Ding Li is a fitness expert, and he insists on doing push-ups every day when he stays at home. "In the face of the epidemic, I feel that a healthy body is the most important thing, and I must stick to it!"
"Sliding straight fist, sliding forward and backward, sliding step sideways, small broken step punching, squat punching..." On the social platform, Jin Peng, shaanxi science fitness publicity ambassador, used boxing to "punch the card". "Fitness at home can first of all allow people to get exercise, enhance immunity, and improve resistance to disease." Jin Peng said.
A COVID-19 pandemic, we have paid too much price. We desperately need deep reflection and a determination to change – including changing attitudes to life, lifestyles, and perceptions and behaviors that we take for granted but are potentially harmful.
"First of all, we need to change our eating habits so that rejecting wild meat becomes the consciousness of every citizen. Secondly, we must change the previous habit of eating around the table and use public chopsticks and spoons. Cao Siyi, a member of the Provincial Health Managers Association, said that it is also important to change the way of social interaction, life schedule, anxiety, behavior awareness, value judgment, etc.
"In fact, we want to change much more than that. An epidemic has made us more in awe of life, more love for work, more cherish for love, more understanding of family affection, and more rational about life. After the epidemic, timely reflection, courage and good at change are the prerequisites for rising up. Psychological counselor Zhang Pu said that it is expected that after the epidemic, everyone can usher in a new healthy lifestyle, so that the concepts of scientific quality, health literacy, and civilization cultivation will be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
