上海老人揭开亲情背后的残酷经济学 "当退休金跟不上药价时，连亲生子女的问候都成了精打细算的账单....多位受访老人表示，他们不想拖累子女，所以老的时候必须要有一笔养老钱。其中一位老大爷称：“每个人都要过一个悲惨的晚年，走的越快越好，不要拖累子女，避免人财两空” 而在农村，每月仅有100多元养老金的老人为了不连累子女，往往会选择用喝农药等方式“体面离开”，中青报报道称，农村老人自杀的现象，已经到了触目惊心的地步。早在2008年，武汉大学社会学讲师刘燕舞所在研究团队在湖北京山县进行田野调查时，当被问到村庄里有没有老年人非正常死亡的现象时，得到最多的回答竟然是：“我们这里的就没有老年人是正常死亡的”

老了喝农药？ 这就是中国梦？

生如牛马，死如蝼蚁。

共匪统治下，民不聊生。

It all started about 20 years ago. I used to see this older gentleman at a coffee shop, always meeting with young men, and it left an impression on me. I eventually struck up a conversation with him, and he told me that God had called him to help younger guys avoid the mistakes he had made. [Open it up ↓]

在中国，养老靠三件事：命够硬、孩子孝、别生病。有一项不符合，就可能提前被系统淘汰

最後體面的老去成了奢侈品

Shanghai elderly reveal the cruel economics behind family affection "When pensions cannot keep up with drug prices, even greetings from one's own children become a carefully calculated bill... Many interviewed elderly people said that they did not want to burden their children, so they must have a pension when they are old. One of the old men said: "Everyone has to live a miserable old age. The sooner you go, the better. Don't burden your children and avoid losing both money and life." In rural areas, elderly people who only have a pension of more than 100 yuan a month often choose to "leave decently" by drinking pesticides in order not to burden their children. China Youth Daily reported that the phenomenon of suicide among rural elderly people has reached a shocking level. As early as 2008, when Liu Yanwu, a sociology lecturer at Wuhan University, and his research team conducted a field survey in Jingshan County, Hubei Province, when they were asked whether there were any abnormal deaths of elderly people in the village, the most common answer was: "No elderly people here die normally."

唉

在这片土地上，体面离开，不是殡仪馆的广告语 而是一些农村老人的遗书标题

丛林法则的终点就是这个样子，极右掌控的国家在未来都会变成这个样子。
