Chapter 283 (1/2)
My cousin always thought that kugen's life would continue. Like his predecessors in the past, he worked to earn money and gradually increased his salary. Then he went back to his hometown to find a country girl like him to get married. Then the whole family would continue to work or open a small shop in his hometown. The next generation of kugen may be able to enter the county, study as a worker, or take the Universiade to get out of the agricultural sector.
The above implies countless bitter experiences. There are only three words in the academic term, which is called urbanization. However, fate is always too harsh. Kugen was cut off two fingers when he went to work. It is said that he was busy bucking his mobile phone. In fact, this is not a big deal in the processing enterprises, regular enterprises have insurance, anyway, there are industrial injury fund compensation.
But for kugen, the dexterous right hand can never come back. Since then, his urbanization route has stopped abruptly. In the era before the rise of service industry, kugen has only one way to return home.
Of course, my cousin sent kugen with 1000 yuan. Kugen refuses to accept it. What he says most is ”sister Wei, cousin, when can you earn 5, 6 thousand a month like this? Even if you work hard, you have to do it!”
My cousin said to him, ”you can take care of your injury. You can go quickly. Remember not to spend the money on work injury compensation.”
Kugen said, ”of course, those who go back to marry their wives are on the card you gave me.” Then he shook the card.
Cousin said: don't show, thief look, put it away quickly.
Since then, kugen never contacted his cousin again. I heard that he went to work in a small mine in his hometown. The yellow brick of his machine has been dim for a long time. Later, a hot article ”Peking University graduates to deliver takeout” was published. The top students sent takeout and earned 5000 or 6000 yuan by doing manual work in Beijing, which aroused heated discussion. However, he did not know that this was the peak of some people's imagination.
My cousin seems to tell kugen that now you are really capable, and you still earn 5000 or 6000 yuan. This is really not a dream. Kugen, come back.
When my cousin read this, his mind was full of another article. Cousin, I believe you have already found that there is no middle class, only salaried / unproductive class.
Ordinary people today are no different from the peasants of the Qing Dynasty. The same once not work, the ability to resist risk is poor. The same because of the pressure in front of the pressure, no time and energy to think about life, destiny, to think about who they are, what they really need.
Live in the eyes of others. Instead of being yourself. Similarly, in the future, I will worry about the most basic things of a person, such as raising children, receiving education, and medical care for myself and my parents. The second child didn't dare to have a baby either, and became poor overnight after a serious illness.
The so-called class across the original family is only a temporary comfort and a long-term illusion. It's useless to really cross class. What we need is at least evolution. Become someone else. And the channel is very small, very small.
The original text is as follows: ”the Chinese people in the traditional era were locked as a link in the chain of succession, and were carved into several Chinese characters on the memorial tablets.
In traditional families, parents are the absolute authority. Therefore, to have more offspring is the most important way to realize and expand this authority.
In 1950s, American scholar Lewis put forward the concept of poverty culture. He summed up the characteristics of poverty culture from ancient times to the present.
Long term struggle for survival, pawning, living a life of bondage, busy but no leisure all his life, yearning for power, male chauvinism, focusing only on the present, distrusting the government, weak and incompetent, sensitive to status differences and lacking class consciousness, etc.
