Today is Monday. When I opened Moments, I saw a colleague who was in Beijing before posting a post complaining about the traffic jam in the morning rush hour on the Fourth Ring Road in Beijing. After reading his circle of friends, I was sober in an instant while lying lazily on the bed.
That traffic jam in Beijing is back, and those who stopped are starting to move again!
Maybe in a way: we just can't stop.
I clicked on the profile picture of that former colleague and started chatting with him, wanting to really understand what Beijing is like now? A colleague shared with me two very obvious types of people around him. One is his landlord, and his colleague is from Shandong. He rents a house and works in Beijing. He finds a wife in Tianjin and buys a house in Tianjin to settle down and pay off the mortgage. His landlord in Beijing is an old man who is nearly 70 years old. Uncle
bought several properties in Beijing when he was young and made his fortune. In the community where my colleague lives alone, he has three properties, one for self-occupancy and the other two for rent. After retiring, the old man had no intention of continuing to work, so he simply lived a comfortable life in his later years, walking the dog every day, and playing chess with other old men in the community. This old man is an opponent of letting go. For him, he is old. If he is recruited, there is a greater probability that he will become a severe patient, and he already has enough wealth, so before As long as my colleague’s community needs to be sealed off, the old man will always respond to the policy as soon as possible. Sometimes he will even turn into a volunteer, put on the protective clothing he bought, stand at the gate of the community, and guard the small gate. Another example given by
is his neighbor. The neighbor is a takeaway rider from Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province. The family of three squeezed into a small one-bedroom house. The rider is very firm and liberal. His wife is in poor health. He can only do some casual work, and his daily income mainly depends on his food delivery. The child will start kindergarten next year, which is a considerable expense. He still has a pair of parents in his hometown, and he needs to send money back from time to time. Life is already very tight, so every time before the ban, the rider moved directly to the unit dormitory in order not to delay work. I'm afraid I won't be able to go out and delay earning money.
After listening to his story, I continued to ask: "So what kind of people do you belong to?" In our positions, especially when we are middle-aged, we have too many burdens on us, and it is difficult to go into battle alone and lightly. We dare not let ourselves stop easily. There is nothing we can stay out of, such as mortgages, car loans, children's education, and parents' pensions. In Beijing, you will only feel that you are small enough, but here is too big, so big that if you are not careful, you will lose your shelter. Congestion is synonymous with Monday mornings in Beijing. Congestion means that Beijing has gradually recovered and has become the bustling city it was before.
I live in Zhejiang. I went to the mall today. The market is still very deserted, but the circle of friends has basically achieved "negative clearing". After the storm has passed, the streets will definitely be revitalized. , But what we need to know is that there are too many people in this city who cannot stop, and these people will promote the vitality of the whole city step by step.
