After a long time, a comment popped up: [A weak question, what does it mean? I don’t understand classical Chinese]
[“The white-haired man does not carry anything on the road” is from Mencius’ “Gu Ren Zhi Yu Guo Ye”, which means: the gray-haired old man will not carry or hold anything on the road.]
[The problem of empty-nest elderly and left-behind children in rural areas is really sad. That grandmother is over 70 years old, and she still has to work so hard]
[Can children be more filial?? Let the elderly be a nanny for their grandchildren at such an old age, is it embarrassing?]
[This can’t be blamed on the children, right? Children go out for the family. How can they make money to support the family if they don’t go out to work?]
The live broadcast room began to discuss social issues. Such topics were related to everyone and could resonate with everyone.
Of course, there were also some individuals who used moral kidnapping: [Gu Yang and Ji Jingchi just watch and say sarcastic words? Don’t go to help? At least help the elderly take care of the children?]
[What hypocrisy, who wouldn’t sigh there, but take some action! Ji Jingchi earns tens of millions for a movie, isn’t Gu Yang a rich girl? Why don’t they donate some to these poor empty-nesters and left-behind children?]
But soon someone refuted——
[Why don’t they help the elderly take care of their children? Are you idiots? If it were you, would you dare to agree to help them take care of your children if two strangers said they would help you take care of your children? Why would they believe you? And even if they help for one day, what about the future? Do you want Ji Jingchi and Gu Yang to stay there forever??]
[Those who use moral kidnapping to force donations, get out of here. Our Ji Zai donates his salary every year, but he just doesn’t buy hot searches for publicity. For details, you can go to the Weibo of Ji Jingchi Global Fan Club. As for Miss Gu Yang, she is still a student. Didn’t the Gu family publicly donate 100 million before?]
[Those who force donations, I just want to ask how much money you have donated and what you contributed to this society? Don’t keep harping on Ji Zai’s multi-million-dollar pay all day long. The market is like that, and it’s not up to our Ji Zai, to decide. The cake is there, and anyone can have a bite, even if it’s not Ji Zai, it will be someone else.]
Gu Yang and Ji Jingchi did not go up to help the old woman. After all, with their power, they could help for a while but not for a lifetime.
Moreover, in today’s era of self-media, if they came forward to help and let the old woman and the children appear in the live broadcast room, it would backfire. Excessive exposure would attract countless Internet celebrity anchors to disturb their peaceful lives, which would only cause trouble to the old man.
Not surprisingly, because of the scene in Mulberry, the social hot topic of “rural empty-nest elderly and left-behind children” had become a hot search again, causing many people to reflect.
The village where the Mulberry program team filmed the variety show was also dug out. It was a poor village in Liangcheng.
Many netizens had discovered through Gu Yang and Ji Jingchi’s live broadcast that although this village was a poor village, its natural scenery was no worse than some Internet celebrity attractions, and it was even better in quietness and tranquility.
After this episode of “Talking about Mulberry with Wine”, this secluded mountain village became popular and became an Internet celebrity attraction. Many Internet celebrity anchors came to check in, which also boosted the local tourism industry.
At the same time, the discovery of national special protected animals on the mountain also attracted many scientific researchers to come for inspection.
No matter how it had been for a long time, at least it was good for this poor village now. The local village committee was also very smart. Taking advantage of this favorable situation, it had led the villagers to develop homestays.
At the same time, it had also attracted many young people to return to their hometown to start businesses. To a certain extent, this had also improved the situation of “empty nesters and left-behind children”. But there was still a long way to go to truly solve this problem.
