3 min, Love and Controversy: Can "Flash Love" in a Convenience Store Stand the Test?
The picture comes from the Internet
At two o'clock in the morning, the neon lights of the city are still flashing, and the cityscapers who have been tired from the day are returning home one after another, while the convenience stores, which are not closed 24 hours a day, are ushering in the warmest moment of the day at this time
The shelves are filled with goods, the warm yellow lights reflect the aroma of oden and instant noodles, and the short queue in front of the cash register is filled with people talking in whispers, with a hint of relief on their tired faces
Suddenly, the silence is shattered by the actions of a young couple, who, instead of waiting in line to check out, walk straight to the shelves, hug, kiss and even stage a trailer for a "love action movie".
This scene was completely recorded by the surveillance camera in the convenience store, and quickly fermented on the Internet, causing an uproar
"Lightning" love is about to break out
The picture comes from the Internet
This "3-minute" video that happened in a convenience store was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples, and some people applauded and praised young people for "daring to love and dare to think, and live a real life"; Some people also call it "spicy eyes" and think that being so intimate in public is "immoral"
Proponents argue that love is free and that young people have the right to choose their own way of expression and that they should not be blamed as long as they do not get in the way of others, and they see this phenomenon as a sign of increased social inclusion and a sign of progress of the times
Opponents argue that love also needs to follow social norms, that public is for everyone, and that no one has the right to impose their will on others, fearing that such behavior will have a negative impact on the social climate and even induce some illegal behavior
In fact, in recent years, with the acceleration of the pace of society and the increase of life pressure, more and more young people have begun to pursue "fast love", and they are eager to quickly establish intimate relationships for emotional comfort and psychological support
According to the joint questionnaire network of the Social Survey Center of China Youth Daily, a survey of 2,002 young people aged 18-35 showed that 68.7% of the young people interviewed admitted that the phenomenon of "fast love" is common at present, and 32.5% of the young people interviewed believe that "fast love" is normal

Behind this phenomenon is the profound change of social structure and cultural concepts, the acceleration of urbanization, the continuous expansion of people's life circle, the impact of the traditional concept of marriage and love, and the fact that young people pay more attention to individual feelings and self-realization; The popularity of the Internet and social media has provided young people with more channels for emotional connection and expression, and has also accelerated the mobility of emotional relationships
Convenience stores, the "fast food restaurants" of love?
It is worth noting that the place where this "love storm" took place is not a romantic café or a noisy bar, but a convenience store full of market atmosphere
The 24-hour convenience store has long gone beyond the function of traditional retail establishments and has become an indispensable part of urban life, which not only provides people with daily necessities, but also acts like a warm "safe haven", providing a trace of comfort for people returning home at night in the city
Here, you can take off your disguise and be your true self, or you can have a short connection with strangers, feel the warmth of human affection, and convenience stores seem to have become a miniature society, condensing the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the world
The picture comes from the Internet
For those young people who choose to express their love in convenience stores, they may just want to grasp the fleeting romance in life and express their inner emotions in a simple and direct way
In their view, the convenience store is safe, familiar, and full of life, it is not as remote as a high-end restaurant, nor is it as easily disturbed as a park square, where they can escape the stress of reality for a while and enjoy a moment of sweetness and relaxation
Convenience stores are not "places outside the law" and cannot be "safe havens for love"
The sweetness and hidden worries of "fast love".
It is undeniable that "fast love" brings emotional comfort and happiness to young people, but it also has hidden worries that cannot be ignored
The picture comes from the Internet
"Fast love" often lacks a deep emotional foundation, and is more likely to break down, when the passion fades, life returns to dull, and two people who lack common goals and values are easy to part ways
"Instant love" can make people lose themselves and ignore the pursuit of their own value, and some young people frequently change their love partners in pursuit of excitement and novelty, only to find themselves always in circles and unable to establish real intimacy
More importantly, the proliferation of "fast love" may have an impact on social morality and ethics, and when love becomes a kind of "fast food" that can be discarded at will, people's awe and sense of responsibility for love will gradually fade
Love and Boundaries: How to Grasp the Scale?
"3 Minutes in a Convenience Store" provokes us to think about a series of issues such as love, morality, and social norms
The picture comes from the Internet
In a fast-paced world, how do we balance individual freedom with social norms? How can you find your own happiness in the current era of "fast love"?
Perhaps, there is no standard answer
But at the very least, we can think in terms of the following:
1. Respect yourself and others, love is beautiful, but it should not be built on the basis of hurting others, express love in public, pay attention to grasp the scale, and avoid causing trouble to others
2. Look at "fast love" rationally, don't blindly pursue it, love needs to be managed with heart, and it also takes time to precipitate, don't start a relationship easily because of temporary loneliness and impulsiveness, and don't compromise because you are afraid of loneliness
3. Enhance self-worth, in order to harvest true love, love is not the whole of life, we should pay more attention to their own growth and development, when you have an independent personality and a rich inner world, in order to attract people who really fit with your soul
"3 minutes in a convenience store" is just a microcosm, and the social phenomena and cultural trends reflected behind it are worth pondering, in the era of diversity, we need to keep an open mind to understand, tolerate, and explore
And for love, we must always believe that true love is always worth waiting for
