A few years ago, a work system called 996 gradually became popular among large and small enterprises. This kind of work schedule of 9 o'clock in the morning and leaving work at 9 o'clock in the evening, working 6 days a week, is called the blessing of young people by entrepreneurs.
After 996, 8116 and 007 followed. From 8 o'clock to 11 o'clock at night, the work day has evolved from 6 days a week to a more exaggerated 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. With the rapid development of the Internet industry, the atmosphere of overtime culture has become more and more intense; Internet giants and rich people have taught young people the experience of successful people in the past:
When you don't struggle when you are young, when do you struggle? When you are young, you don't fight hard, when do you desperately?
That makes sense. Many young people not only do this, but also show us what is really "desperate":
From the sudden death of middle-aged people in their 40s to the sudden death of young people in their 30s can only make people lament that this is a phenomenon that will occur from time to time in today's society, there is nothing to say; to the sudden death of young girls who were less than 23 years old in the past 98 years - desperate is not an adjective, it is a kind of work behavior.
In the past, people often said that the work of earning money with one's life refers to the sacrifice of health and taking risks to obtain rewards, such as high-risk and relatively high-paying mine workers. Today's life to earn money is not to sacrifice part of the health, but to directly cut off the life of the second half of life.
In a social environment established by the proletariat and in which all the people regard Marxism as the most advanced guiding ideology, each of us should be alert to how this atmosphere of excessive overtime has developed to this point.
As a creator in the film and television field, this wave of social news has to remind me of the famous Japanese drama "Unnatural Death" starring Rimi Ishihara.
There is such a story in the play:
Before the death of Mr. Sano, a cake factory worker, he worked 140 hours of overtime a month, but the director denied that he died of overwork.
Sano has invested a lot of time and energy in this job, but also has a lot of enthusiasm. Sano once told his son that now is the critical period of the factory, even if it is difficult to persevere. The father who worked so hard for his work and dreamed, let his son Xiaoyou dream of becoming a powerful person like his father.
After Sano's death, only a weak housewife and two young sons were left without financial resources, and no one intended to pay compensation to the broken family.
Xiao You, who lost his father, coldly watched how the factory that his father loved shirked responsibility, refused to acknowledge his contributions and contributions, and refused to compensate for his losses.
What the cold capital destroys is not only Sano's life, but also a complete family, the child's worship of his father and his hope for the future.
The cause of Sano's death was eventually ascertained— he died of a fractured vertebrae that had occurred a month earlier.
A month ago, on the day of the jubilant fireworks festival, the president of the cake shop factory, who had been pressing employees to work overtime, suddenly asked the factory to send a box of cakes to his party, and the person who delivered the cake was Sano, who had been working for 15 consecutive days.
The party is full of fragrant sideburns, everyone is bright and beautiful, the cake that has been sent hard seems so lackluster, it is discarded and wasted everywhere, is it a shameful waste? No, they are commonplace and not worth mentioning.
Sano, who was riding his motorcycle back, fell heavily on the road, and it was at that time that his vertebral artery ruptured. This fall left Sano's spine with only a piece of skin attached, but this pain was unknown to him during his lifetime.
Sano, who fell down, looked up just in time to see fireworks blooming in the sky, and where was this extravagant beauty blooming for people like him?
While his family was still waiting for him, Sano stood up in pain and continued to go home. People who are so busy are accustomed to patience when they encounter pain, and they do not have time to go to the hospital for examination. People with such a meager income still have to support their families and are reluctant to spend money to go to the hospital for examination. It seemed that this was not the first time for him to endure the pain, but he could not imagine that this was the last time in his life.
Sano, whose spine was only covered with skin, only lightly mentioned to his wife that he fell on a motorcycle.
Burdened with the fatigue of continuous work and the pain of falling, Sano still looks at his children with anticipation and affection: I hope that they will grow up to be happy.
In the last month of his life, he worked like ever, loving his wife and children, and enduring inhuman pain that he thought he could endure.
Even if the burden of life is overwhelming, some people can still insist on loving life; the same willing love, let him lose his life, he can no longer watch his children grow up, wives and children lose their protection can only struggle to meet the storm in life, should be at this age carefree children also prematurely experience the taste of heartache.
Knowing today's ending, will Sano regret it? Of course, after all, what supports his struggle is the love for this family. It's just that he no longer has a chance to choose.
Whether it is Sano or the people who have left one by one in real life, they have no chance to choose again, but those of us who are still alive still have it.
We live in society, which is not only a huge organism with countless small screws, but also a living life. In addition to working to promote social development, we also have our family, loved ones and friends, and we have joys and sorrows. People need to eat and drink Lasa, but people need sleep, people need to rest, and people have a limited life span.
Health is the cornerstone of human beings, and without this cornerstone it is difficult to have the ability to perceive happiness.
We need to realize that we are not machines, but higher beings of flesh and blood. We come to the world, not to become a cold number, nor to pour out our "dust" in a short period of time to send a very small number of people to the rich list.
Man is fragile, as fragile as a reed, but man should be a reed with thought. Capital is short-sighted, and people with long-term vision should not focus on short-sighted capital, but should look farther, as the saying goes, seeking sustainable development.
The competition and fighting in the current society cannot be described as fierce, but do we have to crush ourselves to pieces? We must recognize our own smallness, but also understand our uniqueness to ourselves and our loved ones. Even the largest ocean is made up of water droplets, and even the vastst society is made up of an individual. The times are in the tide of great development, and we must also base ourselves on ourselves and examine the real needs of our hearts to make trade-offs.
Please pay attention to yourself – no matter what era you are in, after all, every era is as described at the beginning of Dickens's Tale of Two Cities:
