The life of Monteen Monkey has recently set off a lot of discussions in Taiwan, because many local young people have seen familiar shadows in this line of cartoons.
In simple terms, the life of the mountain monkeys is divided into the upper and lower episodes. The plot takes a young man working in a convenience store as the main character, and through his perspective, he shows Taiwan's motorcycle (also known as locomotive) popular culture.At the same time, through the various young people's experience, we brought out the current Y generation, the Z era faced love, friendship, money, the values and criticism of the workplace.
Monte monkeys generally refer to young people who like to ride motorcycles on mountain roads or make dangerous actions.
Due to the funny element of playfulness, plus a large number of memes' creative details, and the appropriate and real mantra and lines, the life of the mountain monkeys was launched in early July, and immediately in Taiwan's major social networks in Taiwan.The platform triggered discussions on netizens.After the next episode was launched in mid -August, it even led to a boom in watching.
According to the data of YouTube (YouTube), the mountain monkeys with a length of more than 19 minutes have been broadcast for more than a month for more than a month, and there have been more than 5.7 million click -through rates.Although the next episode was only broadcast in mid -August, and the length of more than 45 minutes, it was not in line with the current viewing habits of netizens, but in the shortest 10 days, it has gained more than 5.6 million click -through rates.
In all fairness, from the perspective of the composition, narrative structure, and even sound quality, the life of mountain monkeys does not appear on the production of Daya Hall, especially the local context of presentation, setting it for those who are not familiar with the people and culture of Taiwan.Watch the threshold.However, for most young people in Taiwan, the plot of mountain monkeys is no stranger to the life of the life, as if they often perform around them.
In the "batch kick" of Taiwan's largest online forum, some netizens said: "This is really divine, rude but vivid new and old fans engraved with faces and backgrounds, and line dialogue and plot arrangement are smooth and accurate."Some netizens said: "Even if you are not familiar with the circle mentioned in it, you can be moved by the emotional entanglement between characters." "Although I don't understand the car, I feel that this story is very realistic."
Joint Daily quoted Zhuang Bozhong, a full -time professor of the Department of Journalism of the Chinese University of Culture, said that Taiwan is a "motorcycle kingdom" and the use of motorcycles is extremely high. Therefore, nine of the ten young people are familiar with mountain monkeysThe content of a lifetime.He also said that the life of the mountain monkeys did not cause response in other Chinese circles, which may reflect that this is the unique "local culture" in Taiwan.
From another perspective, the reason why mountain monkeys have aroused the resonance of young people in Taiwan may be a big reason for the plot to show their helplessness in their hearts.
For example, in order to repay bank loans, credit card debt, etc., the protagonist of the story keep working overtime to earn higher salary, and even eat bread and microwave food for convenience stores.In addition, in the context of increasing income, consumption has been continuously consumed to satisfy the inner "little good luck" and live a life that is not enough.
In the real level, in the environment of low -paying and high inflation in Taiwan for many years, it is estimated that many people have experienced such a life.
Statistics show that Taiwan ’s average salary has risen by 24%from 2012 to 2022, but it still cannot keep up with the rate of inflation.Taking Taiwan's proud pearl milk tea as an example, the average salary of one year in 2012 can buy about 1097 cups of pearl milk tea, but by 2022, you can only buy 853 cups of pearl milk tea.
This can be confirmed from official data.According to the release of the main plan of the Taiwan Executive Yuan, although the substantial regular salary maintained in the six months before 2023, the substantive total salary has decreased by 0.73%annually, which is the first negative growth in the past seven years.
The creator of the mountain monkey "Eric Duan" wrote in the video description: "The content of this story, the character, and the white purity are fiction.From the perspective of the upsurge and resonance caused by the film, I am afraid it also confirms this sentence.
