The bride was tied to a telephone pole, and the official called the game link! Is it fun or hurt?
"The bride was tied to a telephone pole at the wedding? What kind of operation is this? On September 23, a video from Shanxi sparked heated discussions on the Internet. In the video, multiple men push the bride onto a telephone pole and tie her to it with duct tape. The bride's cries and struggles were heeded. Is this a prank or abuse? Is it traditional or vulgar? Let's take a look at the ins and outs of this "marriage trouble" incident.
Here's the thing: On September 23, a netizen posted a video on social platforms. In the picture, a group of people are engaged in the so-called "marriage trouble" activity. But where is the joke? It's just a matter of playing with your life! I saw a few old men pushing the bride to the telephone pole with all their hands and feet, and also took out the tape to tie people up. The bride shouted hoarsely and struggled like a fish out of water, but the gang turned a deaf ear and continued their "good deeds". In the end, the bride was forced to bend her legs and was tied to a telephone pole like a "humanoid ornament". This scene, said to be a wedding, looks like a kidnapping scene!
As soon as the video came out, it immediately exploded on the Internet. Netizens said: "This is marriage, it's a crime!" "What about the bridegroom? Why can't you see anyone? "It's long overdue to abolish this bad habit!" For a while, "Shanxi Marriage Trouble" became a hot search topic, and everyone's criticism of this behavior was overwhelming.
In the face of a storm of public opinion, local officials did not dare to take it lightly. On the evening of September 24, "Yangquan Daily" quickly issued a briefing. According to the report, this was a "marriage trouble" incident that occurred in the back ditch of Yangquan. According to the community staff, the "kidnapping" behavior in the video is actually a pre-set game link. The person concerned expressed "deep apologies" for the negative impact caused by the video.
The official explanation made many netizens call it "strange". Someone questioned: "Can this kind of brutality be called a game?" Someone else quipped: "Pre-set game sessions? Was the bride's struggle and cries for help also rehearsed in advance? "
Indeed, if this is really just a game, why does the bride look so bitter and reluctant? If it was a consensual act, why was it so controversial? The water in this is probably not as shallow as the official said.
In fact, this so-called "marriage trouble" culture has a long history, and in some places it is even regarded as a "tradition". Proponents believe that this is a way to express their blessings and increase the joyful atmosphere of the wedding. But the question is, is the price of joy too high? Isn't the dignity and safety of the new human being more important than the so-called "tradition"?
Opponents argue that such acts not only violate personal freedom, but also pose a safety hazard. In case of an accident, who is responsible? What's more, in the 21st century, do we still celebrate the union of the new in such a backward and crude way?
Some netizens posted: "Marriage is a major event in life, not a monkey show. It's long overdue for this bad habit to be thrown into the dustbin of history! Someone else added: "Weddings should be solemn and warm, not farce and laughing stock." "
In the face of this controversy, the local government could not sit still. The circular mentioned that the streets and communities will increase the publicity of "advocating civilized marriage customs", and strive to cultivate a civilized and progressive marriage culture and social atmosphere. But will shouting slogans alone solve the problem? I am afraid that more practical action is needed.
In fact, similar "marriage troubles" are not isolated cases. Not long ago, there was a vulgar marriage trouble in which the groom was splashed with dung. Behind these incidents, what is reflected is the outdated concept of marriage customs and the lack of a sense of boundaries in some areas of "entertainment".
Some experts pointed out that changing this situation will require the joint efforts of many parties. First of all, it is necessary to strengthen legal restraint and severely punish acts that infringe on the rights and interests of others. Second, it is necessary to intensify propaganda and education to enhance citizens' awareness of civilization and rights. Finally, we should encourage newcomers to have the courage to say "no" and refuse to accept these bad habits that are contrary to modern civilization.
Marriage is sacred, and weddings should be beautiful. What we expect to see is the happy smile of the newcomer, not the embarrassed appearance of being entangled in duct tape. Let's work together to create a truly warm and civilized wedding atmosphere for each couple. After all, love and happiness shouldn't be built on the pain of others, right?
Although this "marriage trouble" incident has come to an end, the thinking left behind is far from over. We also have to ask: In today's pursuit of civilization and equality, how many stereotypes and bad habits do we still need to change? And how many "traditions" are worth revisiting? This may be the biggest revelation that this incident has given us.
