I am a post-95 (post-96) generation. The first time I heard the word "collapse", it was at a dinner party of my grandparents. At that time, my grandparents said that my father's generation was broken, and there was no hard-working spirit after 80. But in fact, in my opinion, the post-80 s generation is still very hard. Nowadays, many people, old and young, support a big family on their own, and dare not relax for a moment in their lives, for fear that they will be eliminated by society if they stop.
When I was in high school, I would hear some adults around me say that we are a beat generation after 90: we can't bear hardships, have no pursuit of life, can't walk out of the "comfort zone", and especially love lying flat. But as a post-90s generation, are we really like this? Obviously not, we silently bear all kinds of pressures in life and work. You should work hard to make money, study hard and be self-disciplined, because only in this way can you be qualified to pursue the life you want.
Perhaps it's because most of the post-90s generation have already worked or got married, and now we seldom hear criticism from everyone about the post-90s generation. On the contrary, some people aim their guns at the post-00s generation. They say that after 00, they are selfish and irresponsible, and they are the real beat generation. But from my personal observation, I feel that after 00, I have more innovative spirit and more delicate mind. Maybe there are some shortcomings, but this is the nature of all young people!
China has never had a beat generation. Because the education in our country needs us to take responsibility, and the historical mission needs us to work hard. This is not "empty talk", because in such a big environment, we have no chance to become a beat generation. Whether it is the current "anti-Yi" or the previous poverty alleviation, the post-80 s, post-90 s and even post-00 s have never retreated. They always rush to the front line, become the backbone and carry the banner.
At the same time, the times are developing and advancing rapidly. If you can't keep pace with the times, you will be left behind by others and never live the life you want. People around you are working hard, and you don't want to fall down alone, be looked down upon, be criticized for laziness and lack of self-motivation.
Of course, there is another point, that is, many of us really struggle not only for ourselves. In order to make our family and loved ones live a good life, we will be willing to give everything and move forward forever. No one wants their parents, children and lovers to be worse off than others, and they will always envy others.
Take myself as an example, not to mention others. Although I have no great achievements and no inspiration, I have never given up my efforts. In order to make myself have more choices about life, to make my parents not stare at the price of things when they buy things, and for many things I care about, I don't think I have any reason to collapse.
There has never been a beat generation in China. No matter in the past, present or future, I believe that China people will always keep an enterprising heart.
