Last update date: 2020-05-08 09:00Recently, a short film called "Houlang" has caused heated discussions on the mainland network. Some people even imitated "Houlang" and shot "Qianlang" in response. The May 4th theme short film "Houlang", which was originally intended to praise young people, was not recognized by some young people. It just reflected the importance of mutual understanding between the two generations.
In the "Three Waves" movie of "Houlang", there are mixed clips of multiple KOL bloggers on "Bilibili" (station B for short), such as the food and lifestyle blogger Li Ziqi with millions of fans and music creation blog The host's Meng Xiaojie Jae, Suona Brothers, and the FPX e-sports club that just won the 2019 "League of Legends" global finals. The 52-year-old national first-class actor He Bing made a series of movies, with a "front wave" posture and identity "voicing for contemporary youth." In the speech, "Those who say, people who are not as good as one generation should look at you", "But the times are more fortunate to meet you like this", "I look at you with full respect", etc., are all affirming and encouraging Young people, to rectify the name of young people, let the society recognize these positive young people again.
This video was jointly released by Station B and six mainstream media such as Guangming Daily, China Youth Daily, Global Times, Beijing News, Surging News and Observer Network. CCTV also aired the golden advertising period before the news broadcast on the evening of May 3. It can be seen that this film has been affirmed by mainstream media.
Two opinions of young people
After the video was released, it quickly attracted attention. Within three hours, the number of broadcasts on Station B has exceeded 1 million times, and it has been popular on Weibo. The "#dedicated speech # for young generation" topic initiated by the "People's Daily" has more than 80 million views. Although some people praised the film as "making people cry in tears," this was originally intended to praise young people's films, and many young people did not buy it.
Young people's criticism of the film mainly comes from two aspects. One is that the focus of the film is mostly on the young people in the city's moderately well-off families, and ordinary people with a larger lifestyle "off the ground." For example, the young people shown in the film travel abroad, play extreme events such as skydiving, take a helicopter tour and other exciting and exciting life experiences. However, the "2019 Chinese University Student Employment Report (Employment Blue Book)" shows that the monthly income of undergraduates employed in first-tier cities after graduation in 2018 is 6,525 yuan, and the monthly income of undergraduate graduates employed in "new first-tier" cities is 5,117 yuan. The Mainland China Employer Demand and White Collar Talent Supply Report 2019 released by the Mainland recruitment platform Zhilian Recruitment also shows that the average monthly salary of the 38 major recruitment cities in the Mainland is RMB 8,698. Among them, the average monthly salary of the three highest-paying cities in Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen is only 11,434, 10,811, and 10,276 yuan, respectively. Both the salary of graduates and the overall social salary statistics are somewhat different from the highlights of the film, and it is inevitable that some young people complain that the film does not recognize the young people "996" (9 nights 9 working 6 days), was mortgaged 3. The "civil suffering" that car loans are suppressed.
Another type of dissatisfaction with the film lies in the fact that the film's whitewashing is too flat, masking the shortcomings of many young people and China today. For example, in the film, the words "turn the national into the world" and "because your world will like China more" were teased by netizens. This is compared with the pink's radical and reckless Internet expedition and reporting behavior. Little Pink's immaturity turned "NMSL" (Chinese abbreviation) into the world. Another example is "You have the right we once dreamed about-the right to choose" in the film, which is also one of the most intensely ridiculed sentences by opponents. The Mainland has tightened its speech control and censorship mechanisms in recent years. Young people ’s dissatisfaction with this has been poured into tampering and opposition to this line. For example, “Ten million friends who are worth cheering. Regulations are no longer available "," Humanity has accumulated wealth for thousands of years, all knowledge, knowledge, wisdom and art, 404 Not Fund. "
In April, the girlfriend of Thai star Vachirawit Chiva-aree was dissatisfied by mainland netizens because she emphasized on the Internet that she was dressed as a "Taiwanese girl" rather than a "Chinese girl", which triggered an online scolding battle. Among them, netizens in mainland China often use "NMSL" to make the term popular on the Internet.

Hong Kong needs reflection
This time the elders ’hymn to young people was not well received by some young people, perhaps revealing that the mainland society still does not understand the needs and dissatisfaction of young people in the material and spiritual world. Both young people's criticism and spoofing of "Houlang" are aimed at expressing "you don't understand", and this is worthy of social reflection and vigilance.
Different growth environments and life experiences have allowed people of different generations to have different needs and views, which was quite normal. The problem is how the society should reconcile this gap and go to the barriers. After all, the front wave and the back wave need to rush in the same river instead of building parallel worlds and disconnecting each other. As the mainstay of today's society, how do the forefathers of all walks of life view the boundary of speech censorship, and from their perspective, what is the conflict with the perspective of young people? When the "front waves" call out and affirm that young people "will love to win", do they notice that the "post-wave" wage increase cannot catch up with the sense of powerlessness in the face of prices? The support and mechanism of the young people's efforts can be rewarded accordingly. This "Houlang" not only shows the voice of Qianlang, but also gives the society more opportunities to understand young people, and even know what they expect and lack.
Generational disconnection is not just a problem in the Mainland, it also exists in Hong Kong, and this kind of confrontation and tearing is overwhelming. The older generation thinks that young people are "unworthy", or simply denounces young people as "abandoned youth". Young people think that the older generation and the government are unreasonable. For example, supporting the innovation and technology will only send money, ignoring the entrepreneurs who do n’t want to start a business. For example, it is difficult for young people to go upstairs. After further dragging, only part of it was recovered. Qianlang is a pioneer of society, and young people are the undertakings of social development. Only by listening and understanding can we gain common development. "The best scenery in a country is the young people in this country," so the front wave should lean down, slow down, and see the real world in the eyes of the "back wave", and then rush together in the same river.
