Different opinions on "clearing" and "openness", of which age has become a clear boundary.Young groups, mainly on -the -workers, have become the main advocates of openness. Most elderly ethnic groups mainly retired people continue to defend strict dynamic zero -zero policies.
Special
34 -year -old Chen Xuanya (the interviewees are all pseudonym) sitting at the home of Chengdu watching the Qatar World Cup live broadcast. The eyes are full of envy. Under China's strict epidemic prevention policy, a large number of audiences do not wear masks freely.It is another out of reach of the ideal world; but in the view of Li Ying, 68, the picture of foreign people is crowded without wearing a mask, just like "too terrible" like a disaster film.
China's new wave of epidemic further exacerbates the differences between the people's opinions on "clearing" and "openness", and the age has become a clear boundary.Young groups, mainly on -the -workers, have become the main advocates of openness. Most elderly ethnic groups mainly retired people continue to defend strict dynamic zero -zero policies.
The Chinese capital Beijing successively appeared in the death of elderly deaths on November 19th and 20th, and discussed on the Internet.Three cases of death are 87 to 91 years old, and all three have basic diseases. One of them has shrunk for many years.Is most people's personal freedom and national economy worth?
Chen Xuanya (designer) also doubts after seeing Beijing's death case.In an interview with Lianhe Morning Post, she bluntly said: "Elderly people with basic diseases do need to be protected, but if this group of high -risk people get ordinary fever and colds, they may die. And they are just a few, and the sacrifice of ordinary people in the epidemic is definitely not proper proportionFor example, other people who delay the treatment due to epidemics, if people who have other diseases due to crown disease have died, what is the significance of prevention and control? "
Young groups directly feel the impact of economic weakness
A younger group who has retired and has a fixed pension, young groups who are still employed more directly feel the impact of economic weakness and uncertain epidemic prevention policies.The unemployment rate of Chinese youths still at a high level of 17.9%as of September; it has launched online learning under the epidemic, which has also increased the childcare pressure of many young families.
Ma Lin, an assistant professor at Singapore Management University, pointed out that global, young people have been greatly impacted under seal control, which is a common trend. At present, European and American studies have shown that the blue -collar groups of physical work and on the front line are on the front line.Young people who serve the most impact.
European and American closed control measures are mostly only a few months. China's strict epidemic prevention measures last for a long time, and the long -term impact on young people is expected to have greater.
Chen Xuanya's income was not directly affected by the epidemic, but she believed that the epidemic disrupted her life plan and caught her life passive.
She just registered for marriage this year, but because her husband and family were abroad, she could not go abroad to meet with them, and the wedding date could not be set.Facing the uncertainty caused by the epidemic, she also temporarily put on a fertility plan.
She said: "Where I want to go before, I can go soon. Now this becomes more difficult than climbing ... The lethality of crown disease is getting lower and lower, and foreign countries have been used as normal colds, butChina's epidemic prevention measures are getting stricter and stricter, which is puzzling. "
Residents interviewed: the best priority of personal health and safety
However, Li Ying sees very different reality.Li Ying lived in Chaoyang District, Beijing. The control measures experienced in the past year are not less than Chen Xuanya, but this has not shaken her support for dynamic clearance policies.
Li Ying has retired for 13 years, and thousands of yuan per month during the epidemic period has not been affected.
Personal freedom is a vague concept for her. She only believes that personal health and safety must be preferred. The most vulnerable group of social cooperation to protect the overall social cooperation is "what the nation should do."
Li Ying's health is good, but in the community, he often comes into contact with residents with weak bodies in the community. The harm of crown disease may be more directly displayed in front of her.
During the visit, Li Ying could not explain what harm the coronary virus brought to the human body, but when it comes to the community's epidemic prevention measures, she can carefully explain the dispersion in the community.The case was notified; the measures that were regarded as shackles by many young people were regarded as shackles, and Li Ying made her feel more at ease.
She said: "Many people who have been on the age are not convenient to walk or go out, they are also worried about the epidemic anyway. The elderly in our building group will watch the news network every night. If the national government has anyNew news will notify each other. "
Scholars: The cause of intergenerational differences is the difference in life and cognition
Zhang Zhizhong, deputy dean of the School of Humanities and Socials, Taiwan Kainan University, analyzed that the main reason for the intergenerational differences between the civilians of mainland China to prevent epidemic prevention policies is that there is a cognitive gap in different ages.
He explained that young people have a wider range of information and more opportunities to contact foreign information, which is easier to question the necessity of strict epidemic prevention.The elderly face the risk of crown disease, and the scope of activities in life is also small, so the impact of sealing control on them is lower.
The core reason for Chinese officials to adhere to the dynamic clearance is that the proportion of China's elderly population is high, and the large -scale spread of the epidemic may lead to a large number of severe and death cases.
According to China's seventh population census, the proportion of population over 65 years old in 2020 accounted for 13.5%.
Zhang Zhizhong pointed out that the official adheres to the promotion of dynamic clearance on the grounds of protecting the elderly, which will cause confrontation between young people and the elderly.However, most people have elders at home, and young people will not directly use their elderly as the object of resistance. In the end, they will still point their dissatisfaction to the official policy.
