My motherland has become more and more impetuous, fanatical, sad and confused. With the rapid accumulation of wealth, society has become corrupted and degenerated, and the signs of the country's wealth and people's decline have become increasingly obvious. Governments at all levels are always trying to compete with the people for profit, and social polarization is extremely serious. The rich are unscrupulously forgetful, the poor are desperate and lingering, the ideas of young people are stifled by social constraints, the happiness of middle-aged people is shattered by high housing prices, and the health of the elderly is destroyed by the increasingly polluted environment. The academic world is a stagnant pool, the cultural world is a stagnant pool, the political world is corrupt and degenerate, and the entertainment world is based on the spirit of entertainment to death, paralyzing all people who still have the slightest desire to fight and change. All Chinese people are cheating and robbing, for fear that they will be squeezed out by others. High oil prices, high housing prices, and local governments that compete with the people for profit have hijacked the entire development of China. The weak people can only wear vests online, make fun and entertain themselves, and have no choice but to laugh at themselves and deconstruct and make people laugh. This is the greatest tragedy of the country today. The seemingly superficial laughter and harmony conceal a deep sadness. The seemingly prosperous motherland is full of unpredictable crises. As an ordinary young Chinese, I worry that the country in the future will collapse and be destroyed in an instant like the illusory city of Babylon. Therefore, my dear motherland, please do not continue to degenerate.

Around 2004, it was an era of collective happiness for the Chinese people. At that time, prices were still low and people's incomes were rising steadily. Half a spoonful of meat and vegetables in the canteen cost 2.5 cents for 1 yuan, 93 gasoline cost 3 yuan 2.3 cents, Yili aloe-flavored yogurt was once 1 yuan and 5 cents, house prices within Beijing's third ring road were less than 10,000 yuan, and the threshold for personal income tax was raised to 2,000 yuan. But then, with the rise in pork prices in 2007, China's prices were like a roller coaster, heading straight for nine days. In the past three years, prices of various commodities have increased by at least 30%. At this time, the average salary of Chinese people has not increased by 30%. We also lost our jobs together on the day we graduated as college students. We earn less than 1,000 yuan a month. We take loans to rent houses and buy monthly bus passes in big cities, struggling to the edge of the bottom line of life. It's not that we don't have ideals, it's that this society doesn't allow us to have ideals. "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower", which is stupid, stupid and does not reflect the current situation of Chinese society, was not banned. Instead, it moved everyone born in the 1980s. "Dwelling", which reflects the high housing prices, is about to be banned. What can I say? The language in the play is not in line with the construction of socialist spiritual civilization! I just don’t understand. We are all adults, and we are not Gautama Buddha. Who has never watched pornographic movies, who has never been in a circle, and who has never thought about this or that. You must know that Confucius also had sons and daughters. What does it mean? It shows that Confucius was also burned by passion...

Dear State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, after banning good movies, what is left behind is a group of cultural garbage without connotation, polluting the flowers of the motherland that have been seriously polluted? Suppression, Hubei corpse boat, Hunan Little White House, Chongqing underworld, Hangzhou bully, Beijing land enclosure movement, Shanghai fishing law enforcement, Guangzhou speeding robbery, looking at the world of China, society has become such a mess, what does the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television care? You have been a bitch for many years, why are you setting up a big memorial for spiritual civilization?

With that said, let’s take a look at China’s painful oil prices. The behavior of Sinopec and PetroChina in the past two years has broken the trust of the entire Chinese people. There are billions of dollars invested in oil fields in Africa and South America, and tens of millions of yuan decorating the chandeliers of their own companies, but they don't know how to understand the difficulties of the people. When international oil prices were at their highest last year, the price of oil in the United States was US$4 per gallon and the price in China was US$6 per liter. Later, international oil prices plummeted. The price of oil in the United States was US$2 per gallon and the price in China was US$6 per liter. International oil prices have increased slightly recently. In the United States, the price of oil is US$2.5 per gallon, but in China, the price of oil has exceeded 6 yuan in one go. Speaking of being in line with international standards, China's oil prices have never fallen after they have risen. Occasionally it falls, and then it rises back up quickly! PetroChina's stock has robbed hundreds of millions of Chinese people's money, and oil prices have robbed hundreds of millions of Chinese people's money. Recently, the price of natural gas has been forced to increase. They also said that national enterprises should be supported. If it weren't for monopoly management, who the hell would support such an unkind and greedy Chinese company. American companies think about social responsibility, reputation and image, returning to the people, and sustainable development. China's state-owned enterprises are trying every possible means to steal money from the people, big brands and small brands. Later, someone from Sinopec came forward to refute the rumors. In fact, the big chandelier in our house did not cost 10 million. You really misunderstood a state-owned enterprise that is not self-interested and specializes in benefiting others. We are very painful and hurt. This chandelier is only worth 8 million.

I have nothing to say about these kind-hearted large Chinese companies. Let’s take a look at the even more annoying housing prices in China. I recently saw an article talking about the crazy housing prices in China, which really makes people worried. It turns out that China's real estate industry has tied together local governments, the national economy and people's interests, threatening the entire mainland Chinese economy. Yu Bin, director of the Macroeconomic Research Department of the Development Research Center of the State Council, recently stated that the real estate industry accounts for 6.6% of GDP and a quarter of investment, with 60 directly related industries, and has become the direct lifeblood of China's economy. Once there is a major fluctuation in the real estate market, dozens of industries that currently rely on real estate development and production, such as steel and cement manufacturers, as well as large and medium-sized enterprises that invest in the real estate industry, will suffer immeasurable losses. The loss of a large amount of funds may even cause the collapse of China's serious real economy. What's more important is that the banks that provide huge amounts of credit to the real estate industry will be trapped in trillions of bad and dead debts, causing a devastating blow to China's financial industry.

The average selling price of a house in the United States is 200,000 to 300,000 US dollars, which is about more than 1 million yuan, and the houses referred to in the United States are what is known in China as a two-story villa with a garage (House). But in the three cities of Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, a small apartment of 50-60 square meters, ranging from one hundred to hundreds of thousands, is just a joke. Although China still wants to save the earth in 2012, everyone knows that today's China does not have the economic strength of the United States, nor does it have the perfect social security of the United States. The risk factor is too high if the country's economic advancement is driven by housing that is in demand by the people. The average salary in the United States is 2,000-3,000 US dollars, and people save up to buy a house worth 200,000 US dollars. The average salary of us Chinese is 2,000-3,000 RMB, and we also save money to buy a house worth 200,000 US dollars. This comparison is easy for everyone to see clearly.

In other words, China's housing prices cannot fall now, because once they fall, the government, banks, and major enterprises will suffer heavy losses. It is undeniable that the government is profiting from this. Therefore, if the government's interests that compete with the people cannot be infringed, the interests of the people can only be sacrificed. The housing price is 20,000 yuan per square meter, and the monthly salary of 2,500 yuan is not enough. China Mobile and China National Petroleum Corporation are snatching it away. Drinking poisonous milk, eating water-injected meat, going to restaurants to order cold dishes costs 180, going to the hospital to treat a cold costs 18,000 yuan, and paying a monthly sponsorship fee of 3,000 yuan for children to go to kindergarten. How many years and months will it take to be frugal enough to afford a house? Another thing about Chinese companies is that they are very greedy for money. Although the current RMB-USD exchange rate is 6.8:1, the prices of all American goods imported into China are calculated based on the 8:1 conversion. The Chinese people have not enjoyed the slightest benefit from the appreciation of the RMB. In addition, the government plans to collect living allowances paid by enterprises to employees in the near future. This makes life even more difficult for young people who are already struggling.

I watched CNN recently and found that when Americans reported on the country, the U.S. economy was booming. Countless Americans were struggling to live at the bottom of their lives. They went to work at 5 a.m., got off work at 10 p.m., and had three children to raise. Grandpa is 70 years old, and he still sweeps the streets every day. He can't retire because all his pensions linked to the stock market have been wiped out. His house is gone, and he can only live in a cleaning truck. How miserable can he be. But as soon as CNN reported on China, a purchasing group of wealthy mainland Chinese people bought land in Hong Kong to buy high-end supplies. This is because China’s most capable consumer class is relatively young. In foreign countries, they are all about 47 years old, while in China they are only about 35 years old. (Foreign countries rely on hard work, while China relies on inheritance.) Therefore, foreign luxury brands have changed their marketing strategies and designed products that meet the aesthetics of young rich people. CNN then reported that a supercar competition was held in Beijing and Shanghai, China. The price of these high-end sports cars in China is 2 to 3 times higher than abroad, but Chinese wealthy people still flock to buy them. The level of showing off wealth is no less than that of the gentry class in China's Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. This makes luxury goods companies in Europe and the United States very happy, because Chinese wealthy people are footing the bill for their companies that are on the verge of bankruptcy. Seeing these news, as a Chinese, I feel no joy at all, only deep sadness.

Society is dirty, people's hearts are broken, and everyone is just like participating in the last carnival, unknowingly entertaining themselves to death. The entertainment news is that a beautiful star is married to a talented and rich man. The rich man's family has a car, a house, and milk. How much does it cost to buy a bag? A group of stupid ladies with jewels attend some charity party or go to some high-end club, and they are exposed again. Academic news means that a certain professor plagiarized, plagiarized, unwritten rules, and was censored. Political news is that the motherland is great and powerful, and the people are good and happy. The economic news is that the stock market is expected to bottom out and housing prices continue to rise steadily. It turns out that the self-confidence of us Chinese people is based on these false castles in the air, which have no technological content at all. Sports cars, villas, celebrities, meteor showers, and marrying rich people. The guidance of mass media makes Chinese people focus on money. Who else thinks about how to build a Chinese society with uplifting people.

If you don’t have long-term worries, you must have immediate worries. Born in sorrow and died in happiness. He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. China, please keep your eyes open! Don't be blinded by short-term interests, malicious flattery by Western countries, and false prosperity. In fact, people's lives are still hard, and their tired hearts still need to be warmed. Dear motherland! I really want to change something, change this human heart that is about to fall, and change a society that only operates for fame, wealth and money. But there is nothing I can do, the country is in chaos, what can we do no matter how good our personal lives are? Think about the final ending of "The Courtyard of the Qiao Family". Qiao Zhiyong finally realized his dream of universal silver, but this was achieved by the Qiao family delivering the humiliating "Gengzi Indemnity" to local governments. This is called making a country difficult to make money. Therefore, our personal struggle must be integrated with the progress of the country. The country is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate, and people are unfortunate. Only when China's general environment is full of hope can each of us Chinese truly see hope. This is not about numbing ourselves with entertainment and comedy, but about bravely pursuing the happiness we deserve. It doesn’t matter how the international community praises us and says we are thriving. The key is whether we ourselves feel as happy as flowers. Japan's rapid decline after rapid development deserves the vigilance of all Chinese people.

I am an unlovable stray cat. I can choose to disappear silently into the crowd, get drunk and walk away. But my motherland, you can't! Because you have placed the hopes of 1.3 billion people! You should not let your people cry in despair and live in this unfair world for housing and oil prices! Vicious competition, mutual suspicion, eagerness for quick success, arrogance and arrogance, ruthlessness and lack of love are not what a responsible citizen of a big country should do. Entertainment to death only hurts our originally pure and hopeful hearts. It’s not that I’m full of complaints or unfounded worries, it’s just that we have reached a crisis point. All we can do is recognize the reality.
