when the society is discussing "gnawing people", some people disdain in the mouth, but the envy of the heart. This is even more true for the "old people".
"Naan", "self chew" or "old chew", which is not a rigorous classification, can roughly include young people who work.
"old gnawing clan" accurately describes the living conditions of many "80 generation" young people who come from rural areas. It is like living in a whirlpool, and it is difficult to climb up, but it is easy to sink.
building difficulties in
2014 January 5th, Luo Feng, a Yulin man working in Guangzhou, finally plucked up courage and decided to confess everything to his wife. "/>
more than a week ago, he received a phone call from his home. The father said he wanted to build a building in the village. In a small mountain village, his family still lives in a leaky clay brick house.
is sponsored by relatives and friends, and the remaining cost will cost about 10 yuan. Luo Feng has 1 brothers and 2 sisters, but they are all working in the countryside. They still need Luo Feng to help each other. Father means that Luo Feng is responsible for 100 thousand yuan.
parents are old, so Luo Feng can not refuse this request. He was not rich. His daughter was born just when he spent money. Collecting all the deposits is only a few tens of thousands of dollars. Luo Feng promised his father that he would take the money by the end of 2014.
he is in his mind to make such an abacus: now there are 10 thousand yuan of provident fund on the account, plus the accumulation fund in 2014, and there are more than 10 thousand yuan, and his monthly income is seven thousand or eight thousand yuan, and the income of next year is not spent, just enough to count down. But this means that next year's household expenditure will be on the wife's side. The wife has a monthly income of around 6000 yuan and can barely afford it without any big change.
is just how to speak to his wife, embarrass him, and hesitate for many days.
, as a "post-1980s" from the rural areas that relied on reading from the countryside, has been working for 9 years, and he still cannot clearly define his identity. "Am I a city dweller or a rural man?" This is an unsolved problem. The account is placed in the talent market in Guangzhou. People work in Guangzhou. From the statistical point of view of urban population, they are undoubtedly the urban population. However, as a member of the first generation of family members from the countryside, his main kinship and kinship environment is still stable in his home, and "everyone" is still in the countryside. The countryside still locked him up to his "request".
Luo Feng's situation is not isolated, but from the general predicament faced by the "city generation" in the countryside.
He Dongguang, a 32 year old man in Lian Ping County, Heyuan, Guangdong, has worked in Dongguan and completed her "rural housing construction" two years ago. After graduating in 2005, he came to Dongguan with a salary of six thousand or seven thousand yuan, living in the cheapest rental house, eating the cheapest fast food, saving 200 thousand yuan in 5 years, building a 3 storey building in the town of his hometown, and falling into 2011.
the building is still vacant. Only two facades on the first floor are rented to others for small businesses. On the top two floors, only one cousin in town reads. An elder brother and an elder sister both make a living in Guangzhou, and their parents are farming in the village.
this is a kind of fatality. He Dongguang knows that parents are getting older and must create a psychological security for them, the house, and the family. Because building a house, its own life in the city is equivalent to six or seven years after graduation.
weight-bearing life
Liu Xiaoping, Ji'an, Jiangxi, aged 33, is now a technician in Dongguan Dongcheng District. Her junior college education, originally in Dongguan Hengli Town as a clerk, 2000 yuan per month salary, self-sufficiency, can also send thousands of yuan a year to the home.
2008, because the family to build a house, the main expenditure is borne by her, the low monthly salary is really unable to support, she goes to the foot foot court as a technician. She is very talkative and enjoys customers' appreciation. Her monthly income can reach six thousand or seven thousand yuan. Sometimes you can meet a generous customer and give a lot of tips. This special month adds up to ten thousand yuan.
the house was built last year, but the price is that Liu Xiaoping has a pair of hands with rough skin, swollen joints and obviously old age. "
" for so many years, on the one hand, has been difficult to adapt to another kind of life, on the other hand, it is impossible to return to the ranks of white-collar. " Liu Xiaoping said, "but this line is not working now. If we can make money again, how long can we do it? What's the future? " The bigger worry of
is that Liu Xiaoping's marriage has become a problem. Although her work does not contain any unhealthy content, people still wear colored glasses when others look at them. She looks pretty. Many people like her and date her, but never think of marrying her.
"in order to give parents a pension house, it can be said to have ruined my life." Liu Xiaoping said.
is not so serious for Luo Feng and ho Dong Guang, but it is an indisputable fact that in order to obtain the same living conditions of the urban peers.
He Dongguang said that house prices in Dongguan really rose, in 2007, from three thousand or four thousand yuan to seven thousand or eight thousand yuan in 2008, and now the housing prices in the urban area are generally over 10000. If you do not need to worry about the parents' housing, pension, medical care and other problems, using an early age of tens of thousands of yuan to buy a house, then at least can do less than ten years of "useless work". He just bought a house in Nancheng District of Dongguan, about 1000000 yuan, 20 years' mortgage, and now he still has money for decoration. In
2008, stocks were skyrocketing, and fools could make big money. A friend of He Dongguang, who spent 20 thousand yuan to fry the short line, doubled over half a year. Even the drivers of the unit earn more than ten million yuan a year. They all mobilized He Dongguang to stir up the stock. "But I have no money. When I get my salary, I will send it to my family. Apart from building a house, I owe my family a debt in my schooling. "
do city people, hold the heart of the countryside, people in the city, but can not enjoy the life of the city. He Dongguang admired those young people whose parents have pension, social security and deposit. Some of them are "nibbling people". They have just graduated one or two years ago to buy a car and buy a car under the support of their parents. Even if they don't "nibbling the old", they can also rest assured of their salary, travel, shopping and entertainment. And people like themselves can only force themselves to "stall".
"in fact, we are" old gnawing people ", and they are not living in an era. He Dongguang said that because of the psychological panic of "old parents" and "old without support", they can not move in front of material pressure, and life is also narrow minded.
