What is Paige? The same old tune: love and belonging

"What is Page", a short film with only a few minutes, was shown at the beginning of 20 19, which caused a heated discussion, but it was also controversial.

The root of the hot discussion lies in this short film, which presents you with an eternal topic.

The focus of controversy, some people think that it is to consume the countryside and despise the left-behind elderly.

In any case, this short film can reach the screen level because it captures everyone's inner voice:

Because everyone needs love and belonging.

Unless, of course, you're not human.

The omnipotent Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory.

I believe everyone is familiar with Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory.

Any theme or topic, as long as it is embedded in any level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, can instantly arouse everyone's voice.

Because it's human nature.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs, from the top to the bottom of the pyramid, is:

The screen of "What is Page" is ultimately because it pokes the hearts of the public and pokes the need for love and belonging.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory, this pyramid model, is like a process from small to large, from bottom to top, gradually accumulating and constantly struggling, which is indispensable.

People who can realize themselves are, after all, a minority. They have a serious job and a legitimate source of income, which can basically meet the needs of self-esteem.

The needs of the bottom for physiology, safety, love and sense of belonging are all necessary for the general public. Without these needs at the bottom, it is difficult for people to live happily and people will become restless.

Therefore, any demand at any level in the pyramid model can instantly attract everyone's attention and hot discussion. In layman's terms, it means: stick to your heart.

Too many successful studies and inspirational chicken soup are so popular because what they say and throw at you is self-realization.

Because of human inertia.

They tell you so-called success, inspiration, wealth and freedom, which makes you seem to rise to the "cloud" in an instant:

We should always reflect on ourselves, what value contribution we have really made to this society, and what can we do to realize ourselves?

By no means:

Deception, aimless, unprepared and effortless pursuit, castles in the air become rich overnight and wealth is free.

This reality needs to be faced, but not only in rural areas: left-behind elderly people and left-behind children.

Back to the short film "What is Page", there is no thrilling storyline, but it presents us with such a reality in an unpretentious way:

Those old people who stay in the countryside.

They also need love and attention, and they also need a sense of belonging.

Not only left-behind children need love, but also left-behind elderly people need love.

A sense of belonging is what any normal person needs.

In rural areas, the young children of the elderly, in order to make a living and earn more money, all choose to go out to work in big cities, and they have the ability to take care of young children. If there are no conditions, they will be left behind, and the children will stay at home with the elderly.

Left-behind elderly people are not only in rural areas.

In big cities, parents work hard to raise their children. The higher their education level and financial ability, most of them will send their children abroad to study. In addition, if their children are looking for jobs abroad, these parents will never see their children's true colors all year round.

These parents are also old people who stay in the city.

People, struggle for this life, is not to be with their loved ones and meet each other's needs?

No one can live alone in this world. If there is, ta's heart must be very cold and needs warmth more.

Love and belonging, an eternal theme that everyone cares about.

Look with colored glasses. This is you.

Many people's controversy lies in the short film "What is Page", the contempt and consumption of the countryside and the elderly there:

I don't even know what Peggy is. Some people say it's baa baa, some people say it's human, and some people say it's a red pig.

I haven't seen the world, I can't use a smart phone, and I'm still using that old man-machine with an antenna;

They are all stubborn. ...

Marx said: I hate capitalists wearing colored glasses to make irresponsible remarks everywhere.

Yes, what do you think is Paige? This is you.

Kind people see love and affection;

Mercenary businessmen see advertisements;

Numb people, see, boring.

No one can escape Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory. Everyone needs love and belonging, but the way we realize it is different from the perspective of looking at the problem.

Everyone who has money and no money has to go home for the New Year. This is a kind of inner belonging.

After a busy year, back home, it is not so much that the elderly need us as that we need the elderly (and children).

"An ancient family is like a treasure", which is probably the reason.

Look at the crying floating generation: the hometown that can't go back, the city that can't stay.

A generation of vagrants who cry because of What is Page, whether drifting north or south, why do they cry?

It is reality, it is helplessness, and it is for a better life.

All kinds of restrictions in big cities make them have no conditions, ability and economic foundation to bring their parents and young children together at the age of struggle.

As a result, their parents and children have become left-behind elderly people and left-behind children.

Accustomed to the work, life and circles in big cities, what can I do when I return to my hometown? Can you get the same salary and economic return? Can you still adapt to the pace of life and circle culture in your hometown?

What about the old people and children who stay at home in big cities? What shall we do? The house price and rent in Gao Qi, etc. , temporarily can't let them stay at your side?

This is the sigh of the wandering generation:

Hometown you can't go back to, city you can't stay in.

Work, self, old people, children, all kinds of feelings are intertwined, and life has taught us:

Happiness is a struggle, we have no choice but to struggle!

While struggling, don't forget:

Go home often when you are free.

Don't let the regret that "the son has to raise and the relatives are not there" happen to him.

Everyone wants the fallen leaves to return to their roots.

All because of our:

Love and belonging.

Write at the end:

I wish readers and friends a happy and happy family, smooth work and good health in China Lunar New Year.

Like Peggy, spend every day of your life happily!
