Since the invention of the automobile, it has really brought a lot of convenience to our life. It should be said that it is still a qualitative change, and the development of automobile culture in China is different from that in the west. In the eyes of westerners, people are ahead of all machines, so we should pay the greatest attention to it, and bicycles should also be ahead of cars. Therefore, we often see such scenes on the roads in the west. If there is a bicycle at the intersection, the car will slow down and wait for it to pass first. If there is competition between pedestrians and bicycles, it is even more important for pedestrians to pass first, not to mention pedestrians and cars. But in China, the car seems to be a symbol of wealth and power, while in the west, we can ignore these common rules, say nothing about the behavior of pedestrians robbing bicycles, honk impatiently and rampage like uncles. We only learn other people's technology and copy other people's traffic rules, but we don't learn other people's car culture. Things without culture are always missing something. If the car is just a means of transportation, we have it for the convenience of life and the improvement of work efficiency, then it is indeed true. If we want to drive it on the street to surpass those who are desperately riding on the road and arrogantly honk the horn to urge the pedestrians who walk 800 meters ahead, it will be a bit vain, and it is not a glorious thing to really associate it with success.
Our country has a large population. Although many resources can be shared equally with everyone, they are few. The situation of land and energy is not optimistic. A large part of gasoline depends on imports, and the rise and fall of oil prices affects the hearts of every car owner. Although new energy sources, such as automobile ethanol, have been developed in recent years, which looks promising, the problem still cannot be solved. Now corn is used as a raw material to make ethanol. The United States now strictly restricts the export of corn to our necks. As a populous country, corn is also an important food source, and it must have a certain reserve, so this project has been stopped now. This road is no good. There are other new energy sources, but they are all in an immature stage and cannot be solved in a short time. Suppose that one day energy will be solved. What's our traffic situation like? As we all know, there is a huge open-air parking lot on the Fifth Ring Road in Beijing. Many cities are congested with traffic, and the patience of China people is particularly poor. When there is a traffic jam, there are impatient people everywhere. They always want to go first, but they are impatient, which is even more chaotic. Without good order and driving habits, no matter how wide the road is, it is futile. The imperfection of the legal system has also cast a shadow over the development of automobiles in China. Who gave the driver's license to the "road killer" who got the driver's license but had poor driving skills? There are even more chilling accidents reported a while ago, and people who were knocked down by themselves were deliberately crushed to death for the second time, all of which revealed whether there was something wrong with the legal system in some places, so that there was a saying that it was better to kill the disabled than to kill them.
In addition, there is the pollution of automobile exhaust, which is the "culprit" of air pollution. The main hazard of automobile exhaust is the formation of photochemical smog. Its harm to health is mainly manifested in irritating the eyes and causing pinkeye; Stimulate the nose, throat, trachea and lungs, causing chronic respiratory diseases. Photochemical smog will lead to tree death and crop yield reduction; It will reduce atmospheric visibility and hinder traffic. Sulfur dioxide and suspended particles in automobile exhaust will increase the incidence of chronic respiratory diseases and damage lung function. When the content of sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere is too high, it will form "acid rain" with precipitation. It will also significantly increase the number of lung cancer. The closer to the road, the greater the traffic volume on the road, and the higher the mortality rate of lung cancer. Lead compounds in automobile exhaust can enter the blood with breathing and quickly accumulate in human bones and teeth. They interfere with the synthesis of heme, attack red blood cells and cause anemia. Damage to the nervous system, serious damage to brain cells, resulting in brain damage. When the lead concentration in children's blood reaches 0.6~0.8ppm, it will affect children's growth and intellectual development, and even appear dementia symptoms. Lead can also enter the placenta through the mother and endanger the fetus.
Regardless of the environment or traffic, I think private car purchase is not only expensive to maintain, but also a headache to maintain. We still choose a more environmentally friendly way to travel, such as cycling, which can exercise although we are very tired; Take the bus, vigorously develop and improve the public transportation system, and save energy and road resources; It's convenient to carpool with others, and you can also find a partner on the road ... We live on this earth, and we are also a part of biology. As individuals, we should contribute to environmental protection, even if it is inconvenient for us, leaving more green for the next generation. And the way to success is not only whether you have a car, but also on the surface. I think success is what you create and leave for the world, not what you have. Having said that, some people may say that if everyone is like you, China's automobile industry will not develop, but the development of an industry cannot be based on destroying the environment and bringing greater inconvenience to life. We own cars for convenience, not to be slaves to them, nor to be injured by them. In this case, we might as well not have them. Cars are inseparable from our lives. How to make it work better and reduce the harm can't be solved overnight. As long as we work hard, we will always live better, not whether we have our own private car or not. We have to be down-to-earth, do things well around us and live every day well. The meaning of life lies not only in success, but also in happiness! !
