The purpose of the performance: to intuitively reflect the abnormal consumption view of college students through the performance, and to arouse college students to establish a correct consumption view through a touching letter.
Content abstract: Zhou Ming, the protagonist of this play, is a student from the countryside. All kinds of personality consumption phenomena of students around the university made him feel uneasy about inferiority, but one thing that students inadvertently discovered completely changed their minds and made them realize that grass is as beautiful as flowers.
The text reads as follows:
First act
Venue: study room
People: Zhou Ming, Xiao Xue, Wen Wen, Sun Tao, Wu Qiang.
Narrator: Zhou Ming is a freshman from the countryside. Nearly a year's college life has not made him conform to the trend of the times.
He lives and studies in this city. On the contrary, because he lived in the countryside since childhood, he could not adapt to some environmental changes in the city quickly, especially in consumption, and he often felt a huge gap in his heart.
Some consumption concepts of classmates around him often make him unacceptable and incomprehensible. Because of this, Zhou Ming is very silent in class and rarely communicates with others. On the stage, only a beam of light shines on Zhou Ming. In the study room, Zhou Ming and Xiaoxue were reading books when Wenwen came in.
Wen: Hey, Xiaoxue, you have a new hairstyle. Where did you do it? It's beautiful.
Xue: Is it beautiful? This was just made yesterday, and it is very popular now.
Rain: Is it made of backstreet?
Xue: Yes, it cost a lot of money.
Wen: By the way, let me show you the new mobile phone I bought at the weekend. Ultra-thin, full screen, 20 million soft light dual camera! Much more fashionable than my previous one. (Zhou lowers his head to read)
Rain: Wow, this mobile phone is too expensive! It feels good, too
Xue: Show me quickly. It's really good. It must be expensive, right?
Wen: Of course, it cost me nearly 2,000 yuan, but it was worth it. Keep pace with the times! By the way, my uncle recently brought me an Apple computer from America!
Rain: I'm going to buy a computer, too ~ you can accompany me to have a look this weekend!
Xue: Yes, who is not behind the computer now? (Zhou gets up and sits in the back row and walks into the study)
Sun: Hey, class, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow, at the Star Restaurant at 7 pm. Do come.
Wen: Hey, when can we be merciful and treat us to a big meal?
Sun: No, tomorrow is my birthday, so I want to have a birthday party to celebrate!
Xue: Oh, it's "birthday". What gift shall we bring you?
Sun: Hehe, don't be so polite, as long as people come. (Sun sits down, Xiaowen whispers)
Wen: Everyone says so, but who will go home empty-handed?
Rain: There is no free banquet. Gifts should not be too light or too shabby.
Xue: Why don't we buy presents now?
Wen: Anyway, it's okay now. Let's go out and see what gifts to give.
Xiao: OK. (Three people walk out of the study room, and Wu Qiang walks into the study room and sits next to Sun. )
Wu: Hey, next Saturday is my girlfriend's birthday. What do you think I deserve?
Sun: I have no idea. How about cosmetics?
Wu: Oh, I did. My first birthday present was a set of famous brand cosmetics.
Sun: Then send chocolates and flowers.
Wu: Oh, it's from Valentine's Day. Too much!
Sun: Then send clothes. More practical.
Wu: Oh, nothing new. I usually buy her clothes.
Sun: Then I don't know. Take your time. I'm going back to the dormitory.
Wu: Oh, I went back, too. Hey, Zhou Ming, are you leaving? Let's go back together (Zhou nodded and the three of them walked back to the dormitory together)
Act ii
Location: dormitory
People: Sun Tao, Wu Qiang, Zhou Ming.
Sun: Wu Qiang, shall we play basketball?
Zhou: OK!
Wu: Then let's change our shoes quickly. (Sun Wu is busy changing basketball shoes, and Zhou only changed a pair of military training shoes, which was seen by Wu Qiang)
Zhou: Let's go. (Staring at Zhou's shoes and pointing)
Wu: You are wearing this, aren't you?
Zhou: Yes, why? I think it's good. Didn't we all wear them during military training?
Wu: Hey, don't move. You should wear professional basketball shoes to play basketball. You are as light as a swallow and flexible. This is an extraordinary feeling. That's cool! Try it if you don't believe me.
Sun: That's right. If you want to wear this … it will definitely become the "focus" on the court. Why don't I lend you a pair? (Monday looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say)
Zhou: No, I'd better not go. You go first.
Wu: That's all right. Let's go together. This way is ok. There is no rule that you must wear it.
Zhou: Forget it. Go ahead. Actually, I don't really want to go. (lost in thought)
Sun: Oh, ok, let's go. (Sun Wu walks out of the dormitory and stays in the dormitory on Monday)
Narrator (music):
In fact, Zhou Ming is still willing to integrate into the collective and has some enthusiasm for some activities he is interested in, but his classmates always reject his enthusiasm and enthusiasm intentionally or unintentionally with their completely different consumption concepts, which makes him fall into dull loneliness again. He even began to feel inferior and wondered if he was really behind the times.
However, he never tells others what he thinks. Only when he is lonely, he stays in the dormitory, writes letters to his parents in his hometown, tells them about his school, tells them not to worry, and tells them about some phenomena he has seen. Maybe it will make him feel better, because he always believes that his parents will always know him best.
Act iii
Venue: study room
People: Xiao Xue, Xiao Yu, Wen Wen, Sun Tao, Wu Qiang and Zhou Ming.
Narrator: As the days passed, Zhou Ming remained silent and the students began to discuss individual consumption. In the study room, Xiaoxue, Xiaoyu, Wenwen, Sun Tao and Wu Qiang are chatting. )
Wen: Hey, I heard that a new restaurant opened outside the school two days ago, which is delicious. Let's go to improve the food together tomorrow.
Sun: OK, it's my treat and you pay the bill. Everyone agrees with a roar, and Wenwen goes to Sun Tao. )
Wu: By the way, I have decided what gift to give my girlfriend.
Xue, Yu and Wen: What?
Wu: How about I take her on a trip, romantic? (giggle)
Qi: Well, it's really good, with capital.
Wen: I really envy you! Suddenly, Wenwen's pen fell off the table. When she picked it up, she found a piece of paper on the ground. She opened it strangely.
Wen: This is a letter, it seems so.
Rain: No way, this book can still write letters. It's not a love letter, is it?
Xue: Life is full of gossip. Can we open it? (Xiaoxue walks by and looks at Xin)
Wu: I don't believe this smelly boy has a girlfriend. It's really hidden (Wu walks up to the front, and everyone stares at the letter, and their expressions have changed. )
Narrator: (Music begins)
Tomorrow: My dear son, I have received your letter. I heard that everything is fine at school, and your father and I are very happy. I'm worried that you, a child, have suffered by yourself and are unwilling to spend money. This is just like your father. Don't be like him. You are grown up now. In addition, learning requires brains. Don't be reluctant to eat what you want.
By the way, I left all the eggs at home to you. When you come back, mom will make you tea eggs. Don't you like mom's cooking best! Did you eat well at school? Are you used to it? Don't just eat vegetarian dishes, eat more braised pork to tonify your body. Don't faint because of malnutrition like last time at school. Don't let mom worry about you. Mom can't stay with you forever, and your parents can rest assured that you have a good body.
Now that I'm in college, I'm not as close to home as I was in high school, and I can still go home often. Now I can only take care of myself and get along well with my classmates. We are from the countryside, so don't argue with others. Let's make way. Talk to your classmates more if you have nothing to do. Learn from them. If you can't, just ask. The children in the city are very clever. We must work hard. Don't let you look down on them.
Now that we have enough clothes, buy a new one and don't throw away the old one. Take it home to your brother. Your second brother likes wearing your clothes. By the way, your eldest brother stopped studying and went to work in Guangzhou. Don't be reluctant to spend money. Now that we have enough money at home and not enough money at school, just write a letter and my mother will remit it to you.
As long as you study hard, don't think so much about other things. Going home this summer vacation, not going to work, we didn't go home this Spring Festival, we all miss you, and your grandmother wants to see you. Don't be reluctant to pay for the trip, as long as you know that you are studying hard at school. Take care of yourself, take care!
Love your parents forever (everyone bowed their heads in shame after reading it)
Sun: I seem to see the hard work of my parents. My pair of sneakers cost them a few days' salary.
Wen: Yes, even if our family conditions are relatively affluent, we can't squander our parents' hard-earned money like this. It's earned by sweat.
Rain: We really need to reflect on whether the personalized consumption we are pursuing is really worthwhile.
Wu: It seems that we really need to learn from each other and carry forward the fine tradition of diligence, thrift and plain living.
Xue: Yes, we can't spend money like that. We have to study hard to be worthy of our parents who raised us! (Five people nodded, then Zhou Ming came into the classroom, and four people looked at him. )
Rain: I'm sorry, Zhou Ming, but we couldn't help reading your parents' letter. (handed) (Zhou feels embarrassed)
Wen: We are very moved and ashamed. We shouldn't spend so much money endlessly. After all, it still costs parents money.
Wu: Yes, I will never use sending cosmetics, flowers, snacks and clothes as a sharp weapon in the future. It's not that I won't send it. I just pay more attention and change the way.
Xue: When we spend every penny, we should think of its hard-won and make it worth it.
Zhou: I'm really touched to hear you say that. It turns out that our hearts are all kind. In fact, I don't think we need to invest too much money to enjoy it in advance. Sometimes plain is the truest. Just like hay, although it is not as gorgeous as flowers, its value is undeniable. He is the most beautiful, because he has the most experience, a new round of green.
Wen: Then, you should tell us your opinion earlier to get our attention. (Zhou giggles)
Sun: It's not too late to realize it. I suggest holding a class meeting with the theme of "establishing a correct consumption view" to awaken more students to establish a correct consumption view, so that we can all stay away from luxury and stand on our own feet.
Rain: Yes, yes, good idea.
Then let's plan our activities now.
Zhou: OK. (Return to your's seat and get busy)
Narrator (music):
Nowadays, college students are becoming a new consumer group. The new consumption structure of college students shows that campus life tends to be more diversified and students pay more attention to spiritual enjoyment in their pursuit. In a sense, this consumption situation is determined by their special position in the overall consumption structure of society.
We don't have to accuse the students of putting energy and financial resources into superficial articles. To solve the problem of college students' dependence on their families and enable them to spend rationally, we need not only to guide them to correct their mentality and correctly understand it, but also the help and support of the whole society. Let's work together for the same goal.
