Why not be an "ordinary person"? Stop being a social person and be an ordinary person.

"Think about a lot of people around you, who have worked hard for so many years and have been dazzled for so many years. Finally, they will wear suits and skirts to the subway to squeeze the bus. They have a small table in a tall building in the CBD and a small bed in an old-fashioned community far from the CBD. Then, I became an ordinary person. "

Recently, an online blog titled "We are working so hard just to be an ordinary person" has aroused the voices and discussions of many young netizens, and all major media have reprinted it. For a time, the discussion about "ordinary people" spread on the Internet.

Ordinary people, such an ordinary sentence, why does it cause such an "unusual" public opinion ripple? What is hidden behind is the confusion and anxiety of young people?

What are ordinary people?

No prominent family background, no outstanding looks, and no IQ above 150. With all kinds of "no" exclusion methods, an image with a vague face, a vague personality and a vague life experience is outlined. When you walk into the crowd, you are submerged in the crowd.

This is the so-called "ordinary people".

All beings should be regarded as another way of saying "ordinary people".

To be a sentient being is to be a "poor majority" in the eyes of many people.

Being an ordinary person is not a problem. However, with the development of society, the red line of annual per capita income rises with CPI, and the standard of "ordinary people" is also constantly improving. Even being an almost identical ordinary person seems to be no longer easy.

"Every time I go home, my mother whispers in my ear: which primary school classmate is the director and which middle school classmate is 5 years old." Liu Wenquan, 27, came to Beijing after graduating from a university in Guangzhou. In the eyes of many people, he is actually lucky enough because he has a Beijing hukou and is favored by a state-owned enterprise. Although the current hukou is in the outer suburbs, it is enough to make him "unusual" in the eyes of many people.

However, life is like drinking water. Compared with many peers, there is nothing to boast about: "In fact, I am under great pressure. If nothing else, just talk about the house. I want to find a girlfriend to marry. My mother-in-law asked you if you had a house as soon as she came up, and there was definitely no loan. " Xiao Liu said, "Although I have an account, it can only be regarded as a guarantee for my future children, which will not help me solve the current problem."

With the influx of 9 million college graduates into society every year, young people who squeeze past the wooden bridge are often faced with an embarrassing situation: really good employment opportunities are always scarce, and most people still have to start with small squares, even worse than their childhood partners who left school early to enter society.

Some of Xiao Liu's classmates in his hometown are more "moist" than him. "I have a classmate who studied hotel management, and then went to the lobby of a hotel as an assistant manager after graduation, because there was a real shortage of people in this field at home. Now people have a house and a car, and they will get married this year. "

Why not want to be ordinary?

"Because we were taught from an early age to get ahead and be human." Xiaofeng, a graduate student at a normal university in Beijing, said. In 20 10, with various expectations for Beijing, she was admitted to this school from a local university. "I had a dream about Beijing when I was in the postgraduate entrance examination, and I woke up when I graduated."

Before the graduation season, she had already felt the pressure of difficult employment in advance. "I spent my family's money and studied for more than ten years, but in the end it was really difficult to find a job that made my family feel bright."

From 2005 to 2009, the employment rate of master students continued to decline, and from 2009, the employment rate of master students even began to be lower than that of undergraduates. Xiaofeng, who graduated this year, naturally feels "under great pressure".

Getting ahead is an important concept in China traditional culture. Being the number one scholar and jumping the dragon gate with carp has always been considered as the only way to change the fate of a family. However, with the transformation of higher education in China from elite education to general education, the phrase "knowledge changes fate" began to encounter unprecedented controversy.

"We, a group of people, are receiving the most basic education, walking on the road that most people walk, but always dreaming of being different from the vast majority of people on this road? After so much effort, we just want to be ordinary people in the eyes of others, and maybe even ordinary people we hated the most in the past. " The sigh of netizens in the log tells a somewhat depressing fact.

In today's increasingly rigid social strata in China, being an ordinary person often means being at a disadvantage in the distribution of social resources, and it is difficult to make obvious improvement. As a result, ordinary days, in the eyes of many people, have become days without hope and expectation. Many young people want to surpass "ordinary" and become "Gao Fushuai" and "rich beauty", which is of course a manifestation of the overall upward trend of youth groups, but the hidden risks cannot be ignored.

"I used to believe that I would live happily with the prince forever like a princess until one day, my big dream woke up." This is the first sentence of Chang Weibo, a 26-year-old Shandong girl. She broke up with her first boyfriend two years ago and experienced the first "gray time" in her life. "From that day on, I realized how naive I used to be. But that was also the day when I grew up. "

Everyone is special. I don't know when this philosophy of "chicken soup for the soul" has become the motto of many teenagers. It certainly calls on everyone to exert their potential and live a wonderful life, but it also instills a debatable concept: everyone is extraordinary.

Unfortunately, this is often not the case. Most young people in China, after years of struggle and hard work, gradually lost their tongues in the tepid reality-no success, no failure, only a dull life. At this time, they will face a "mind reshuffle"-I am actually just an ordinary person.

After the rosy dream is shattered, young people always have to face the faded reality. Even a little cruel, at least it will make them grow up.

Don't be ashamed of being ordinary.

"Ordinary people" is not equal to "mediocre people", let alone "poor people".

In fact, life is very ordinary, eating and drinking Lazarus, emotions, and all kinds of puzzles, entanglements and struggles in life. Even superstars have no right to be exempted. But in the face of all this life, there is still the possibility of transcendence, especially in the spiritual level.

What deserves our consideration is, is it still an era full of opportunities to get rich overnight? In other words, is it really commendable to get rich overnight, or to improve your life step by step and expand the scenery of life by diligence, hard work and wisdom?

Behind the value orientation that almost everyone pursues to be a "person" and is afraid of becoming an ordinary person, it is actually the "majority" who is insulted and damaged. Because most people are so-called "ordinary people", their lives should not be belittled or despised, but should be cherished, cherished and cherished. Because this is exactly what China society needs today: less grandiose and more simple; Less miracles, more daily life; Less speculation, more diligence; Less jungle rules, more gentleness.

What we should advocate may be an "ordinary spirit": entrusted, guarded and responsible.

Today's society is actually an increasingly "ordinary" society-through urbanization, system reform and other measures to break the differences between urban and rural areas, internal and external differences and so on. , are all efforts in this area.

This is a society supported by "ordinary people". Those hundreds of millions of people who work hard in ordinary posts are the real pillars and pride of this society.

Therefore, young people nowadays should not be ashamed of ordinary people. Ordinary people can also have dreams and have the right to pursue them, and this right can still be realized through many channels.

Some experts believe that how to be an "ordinary person" in a developed country is precisely one of the core contents of their youth education. Today, young people in China gradually realize that they are ordinary people. Getting rid of "special" dreams and returning to "normal" is actually an encouraging mentality, which indicates that their outlook on life is maturing.

If an era is ashamed of "ordinary" and "ordinary", then history will probably be ashamed of such an era.

From this perspective, "popularization" may be the best education for young people now.
