Yi is my classmate from grade six in primary school to technical secondary school. Their homes are also close and they know each other well. After graduation, she stayed in Changsha to engage in music education, and her life was very moist. Yesterday, I suddenly called to introduce my girlfriend. I chattered a lot, explained my background clearly and told her the same story. I didn't think this young man would sell me, did he? ! Careless friends ~ oh, my god ~
I am glad to see a small partner sharing an article about "70% of people will be middle-class in the future" in the ELP group. I'm more used to defining the scope before drawing. Perhaps in the eyes of most China people, the middle class is nothing more than having an upper-middle income, owning a house and a car, living a well-off life and so on, but I have a different view. It is true that economic conditions are indeed the measure of the middle class, but they should not be the main or even the only standard. If we have nothing to worry about, but we are depressed or even stressed all day, or our bodies have been destroyed and gone from bad to worse, then the price is too high. I don't think many people want to be such a "middle class". In the past two years, the country has often talked about the new normal and new economy, and the Internet is also talking about new retail. I also subscribed to the magazine "New Principal" published by Dandelion Education Think Tank. I think "new" is not a new thing, but a new idea. Therefore, the future middle class is the new middle class.
What is the new middle class?
I think it can be divided into three aspects. First, physical health, especially mental health, has nothing to say; Second, cognitive ability. Have a comprehensive understanding of yourself, the world, history or the future, the trend of the times and the macro situation, and you can continue to grow. Only in this way can we transcend the changes of time and not forget our initiative; Third, wealth, including material wealth and spiritual wealth. Economically, if you have a place to live and walk, you don't have to worry about the future of your young family, and you can easily realize your family's small wishes. Spiritual wealth is family education and cultural inheritance. As the saying goes, family harmony and common growth are the last word. It is also said that being rich for three generations may actually be a problem of family culture inheritance. If the values can be passed down well, how can this happen?
I've been reading the minimalist history of China recently. I have been in greater China for thousands of years, and many heroes have emerged. I am amazed that it took so many dynasties to hatch such a splendid civilization. But why does the regime change every once in a while? Emperor Taizong said that taking history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall. Whether it is running a country, an enterprise, a family or yourself, it is the same. The future has arrived. This is an era full of countless opportunities and risks, and what can we do to better embrace the world and continue to be a "middle class"?
