The May Day holiday has just begun, and some bricklayers have jumped out to disgust people.
Recently, an economist named “Song Qinghui” said on his social media account.
“How do you think about the May Day holiday? I think that Chinese people have too many holidays and should be reduced by half! Statistics show that the number of statutory holidays and weekend breaks has increased from about 60 days at the beginning of the reform and opening up to 115 days at present, accounting for more than 31% of the year. In other words, Chinese people spend nearly 1/3 of their time on vacation every year.”
So, who is this Song Qinghui anyway?
According to Baidu, Song Qinghui is the first vice chairman of China 50 Independent Economists Forum, the chief economist of Qinghui think tank, the founder of Qinghui think tank, and also a special commentator of many famous media, and has won the award of “Top 10 most influential financial observers”.
And if you search this person’s microblog, you will find that the number of his microblog followers has reached a staggering 10 million – this kind of fan volume, not to mention in the financial circle, even in the entertainment circle, this is a proper head traffic account: an economist with tens of millions of followers.
An economist with tens of millions of followers said that Chinese people’s holidays should be cut in half under the Weibo account with such a huge number of followers.
What does this mean? Does it mean that the pace of life of Chinese people is too easy? Or does he have a problem with the vacation system in China today?
According to a report by Sina Finance on April 29, 2021, China’s statutory vacation days are now lower than those of Vietnam and Thailand in the ranking of the world’s major countries in terms of the number of statutory vacation days.
And Sina Finance also said that if we exclude the double holiday on weekends, the average number of statutory vacations for Chinese people is 16 days per year, not to mention the high welfare countries such as the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden and developed countries such as France, the UK and the US, but in Asia alone, China’s statutory holidays are also significantly lower than those of countries such as Japan and Vietnam.
And Sina Finance also reported that in terms of total working hours, China’s per capita annual working hours in 2018 amounted to 2,100 hours, second only to Mexico’s 2,225 hours, much higher than the working hours of other countries.
And it is worth mentioning that the above data does not include the “996”, “5+2” and other commonplace overtime phenomena in many major cities in China.
So from the above data, we can see that Chinese workers are already considered as one of the very hardworking and difficult labor groups in the world, but this “Song Qinghui” bricklayer, even want to cut off half of the holidays on the basis of the only national holidays, this economist, in the end, this is what he thinks?
As we all know, only the very bottom of the country people are very concerned about the holidays.
Because the bottom people who all want to take a little more break in the high-pressure work state, after all, no one wants to let themselves suddenly die in the high-pressure work.
But some elite experts with millions of fans are generally not concerned about the holidays.
Because this kind of people, they have money and leisure, as long as they want, then they can have vacation every day, so no matter how to adjust the vacation for them is not affected, so they can certainly stand to speak not waist pain.
In short, nowadays, some so-called experts have become more and more bizarre.
And these so-called experts, they throw out the remarks and views of normal people can see at a glance is very unreliable, but why these experts, but also in full view of the public to send out such strange views to it?
Do they really just want to have a hard time with ordinary people?
In fact, it is not.
Because they issued this kind of speech, is only to consider the interests of their own small group of people, and the majority of the people, their statements will not take into account the interests and feelings of the people.
This kind of public speech, which only considers the interests of a small group of people, but ignores the interests of the majority of people, is in fact, to some extent, a kind of “language corruption”.
What is “corruption of language”?
Corruption of language means that some people who have the right to speak, for their own interests or the interests of the group, will make some comments to please their own kind, and say some words to make their own kind comfortable. These words can indeed make a small number of people comfortable, but will make the majority of the people cold.
For example, there are bricklayers who say – traffic congestion is because housing prices are not high enough.
There are also bricklayers who say – the ticket price is too low which makes it difficult to get a ticket for the Spring Festival.
There are also bricklayers who say – you can’t just raise workers’ wages, low wages are our advantage.
There are also bricklayers who say – receiving red packets can make the doctor-patient relationship more harmonious…
These “experts” of these words, in fact, in a way, is a kind of language corruption.
This kind of linguistic corruption does not seem to involve money or power deals, but in fact, this kind of hidden ingratiation, the harm should not be underestimated.
In fact, every worker is a living human being, every worker is a person with feelings and thoughts, not an object or a commodity as some experts say, and not a so-called production tool as some economists say.
Finally, I just want to say to my readers: some seemingly high experts, even if they have millions of fans, they may also be liars, we must be wary of such liars.
Because the most common tricks used by such scammers are usually.
First, make up a glorious past for you.
Then, to promise you a wonderful future.
And finally, to make you sacrifice the present with honor!
