For these people, through my understanding and observation, they are nothing more than the following categories:
The first category is retirees and early retirees. According to the national retirement regulations, some special types of men can retire at the age of 55. There are still some people, because of the poor management of enterprises or bankruptcy, their age, and many employees of these enterprises are in their 50 s, and the relevant parties are in policy care, often they have bought them out of service or retired early.
The second is the rural relocated households in the suburbs of Beijing. They were originally farmers and didn't have any fixed jobs. After the relocation, they often couldn't find a suitable job because they were older, so they were idle. Fortunately, in addition to subsidizing the house, they also gave a certain amount of collective retention subsidies. Although the money is not much, it is also enough to eat and wear, and the money they rented out is enough to maintain a relatively decent life.
The third category is the 40/50 flexible employment group. Most of these people are laid-off employees who were employed flexibly under the support of national policies. They are mainly engaged in property security, social civilization and public security coordinators, property cleaning and hydropower jobs, and so on. This kind of work electricity is not always an eight-hour work mode, and most of them need to work in shifts, that is, they have a 72-hour break for 24 hours, or a white night break mode. Of course, there is nothing to do after work, and it is normal to wander around the community and play cards.
The last category can be said that they are not Beijingers at all. They are all exposed to the light of their children who buy houses in Beijing and come to Beijing to enjoy their lives, or to do housework for their children and see their children.
A person has a way of living, if he wears colored glasses to see other people's ways of living. It can only show that you are too tired or too failed!
I won't go to work! I haven't played cards for more than ten years. I get up in the morning, eat breakfast, take a walk in the park, come back to buy food, have a bite at noon, take a nap is a must, wake up and drink the tea thoroughly, feed the fish, water the flowers, and ponder the wine and food at night! How busy this day is! If you have nothing to do, you can play badminton and play outdoors. Where do you have time to go to work? I just like to watch foreigners listen to my expression of rising rent! hahaha,
It's hard to find a satisfactory job over 40 years old, and I still have some assets at home. Why do you go out and gasp?
This phenomenon is not only in Beijing, but also in the whole country.
As long as you have food to eat (even if you eat subsistence allowances), you don't go to work, do things, earn money, stay full all day, and have no intention. You don't play mahjong, you just hang around, or you chat together. This is not a good thing!
First, there may be too many idle people, but the main thing is that people have no pursuit and desire (so from a certain point of view, it is a good thing for people to pursue money, status and other material desires, not a bad thing. Once people have no pursuit of material wealth, they have spiritually produced the so-called "breaking up" and other "Buddhist" ideas, which are very dangerous and unfavorable to the development and progress of society. There is a view that high housing prices are not a bad thing, so that young people have a motivation and goal to struggle. If everyone can buy a suite casually, and everyone has a car, a house and a spouse, then why bother to work hard to earn money? )
A society shrouded in mahjong (except gambling) is a lazy and inactive society, and it is also a confused and fatuous society.
For health, for light, for wealth and for the future, young people should stay away from mahjong!
Go to the construction site, go to the countryside, go to the front line, go to the place where the motherland needs it most! Bleeding, sweating, pursuing and struggling!
Why do many Beijingers stop working at the age of 40 or 50 and play cards in the community every day?
There are several reasons for this:
1, relocated households.
Maybe people don't go to work at the age of 40 or 50, and they may have been playing cards in the community at the age of 30. You can support yourself and your family by collecting rent every year. Selling a suite casually can be worth millions. You don't need to go to work at all, just have fun.
2. Laid-off workers.
As a first-tier city, there are too many young people in Beijing. Many people are facing the crisis of being laid off in their thirties, not to mention those in their forties and fifties. After being laid off, these people have nothing to do, and they get together to play cards just to amuse themselves.
3. Foreign personnel.
There are still some people who have no jobs themselves. They come to Beijing because they have to take care of their grandchildren and so on. They just need to send their grandchildren to and from school every day. And you can get together with people in the community to play during the day.
Some people think that playing cards every day in their forties and fifties is an act of no ambition; Some people envy that when they are 40 or 50 years old, they can feel at ease and don't avoid running for money. In fact, no matter which one it is, it has its own happiness and suffering. Don't envy others, just follow our own path.
The relocated households in Beijing are all multimillionaires, so it is enough to collect rent! Looking for a job No, I can only play cards!
If that's what you said, it must be the rural relocated households in Beijing. Farmers have large homesteads, many houses, large yards and large square meters. The public housing for urban residents is small, but it is divided by the government or units. Farmers now become multi-millionaires overnight as soon as they are demolished. Why go to work when you have food, drink and money? If I didn't worry about eating and drinking, I would have quit long ago. It would be nice to wander around the bay and play cards.
When is the end of work, but forty or fifty is a little early, and people won't like you when you look for a job after sixty! Besides, if you have a sick family, you still take great risks, so let nature take its course! Just find yourself something to do, such as studying food, planting flowers and vegetables, calligraphy, photography and painting, watching children go to school, etc., as long as it is civilized and law-abiding! There is nothing wrong with it. Some of these elderly people work hard when they are young and enjoy life when they are old, and some have savings at home and don't have to work hard. Young people don't have to envy these, because they are bored and tired. Comparatively speaking, it is better to be young, full of passion, creative, courageous and broad-minded. The director is full of entrepreneurial energy, and it is make it mine! It is worth saying that young people should not develop the habit of being sarcastic and lazy, so that such people will live as a mouth and can't do anything, and they are useless!
There are indeed many Beijingers who don't go to work in their 40 s and 50 s, but those who play cards in the community every day are definitely not normal people.
Now it's a popular saying called "financial freedom"! It is easy for Beijingers to imagine that Chengdu is a financially free person, especially those who don't go to work in their forties and fifties. I don't deny this, but if you play cards in the community every day, it is definitely not such a person. Because although they don't go to work, they won't go to the community to play cards.
Playing cards in the community every day can be roughly divided into two types. One is people who can't find a job, and the other is people who work more freely. People who can't find a job are eating subsistence allowances, and without skills, they may also vacate a room for rent at home. In short, there is no problem in their own home life. If you are free to work, you will be more idle in your own work. If you have freedom in time, you will have time to play cards in the community.
What are Beijingers doing to achieve financial freedom?
When many people think of the reasons for Beijing people's financial freedom, it is easy to think of demolition. In fact, it is one-sided to attribute Beijing's financial freedom in its 40 s and 50 s to demolition. First of all, not every place in Beijing has been demolished, and there are still many places that have been preserved or not demolished. Even if the place is demolished, it is 40 or 50 years old, which is the age when there are old people in the world. The old people have to live by themselves, and the children have to get a wedding room when they are older, and the couple have to live in one. Do you think there are any spare rooms for rent here?
Most Beijingers who rely on renting houses can only supplement their families, such as vacating a small room in a bungalow or renting a bedroom in a building. Few people can really rely on rent to achieve financial freedom. Even if there is, it is a minority among the few, and it does not represent most Beijingers.
There are still some Beijingers who can truly achieve financial freedom, and they will not go to the community to play cards. They are all part of the family business when they were young. It's better to go into the sea or be a traitor. Anyway, when I was young, I traveled far and wide, and I suffered more than I learned. Now it is possible to have your own company or your own industry, which is still generating benefits. Such people don't go to work, but they will never play cards in the community.
Playing cards is not the main enjoyment of Beijingers' habits.
Playing cards spread from the south to Beijing. Even in the old society, Beijingers only enjoyed playing cards as one of many things. What is the enjoyment of Beijingers? Go to the opera plays with the tickets. These are the hobbies of Beijingers. Even now, you see that many Beijingers with financial freedom like to keep a bird, a fish, spend some time on calligraphy and painting, and visit Panjiayuan.
And the delicious food all over Beijing is also their hobby. Rinse meat in winter and cold noodles in summer. Meat eaters are barbecue restaurants, casserole houses, and vegetarians are Kutokuhayashi. . . After eating delicious food, listen to the cross talk of Deyun Society and the Peking Opera of Chang 'an Grand Theatre. I have nothing to do, but I will sing chorus and dance square dance in the nearest park. Fly kites. These are the hobbies and enjoyment of Beijingers.
Forty or fifty years old, not going to work, playing every day, not just in Beijing.
1, China's first-and second-tier cities, people in their 40 s and 50 s outside the system, the employment situation is inherently bad, especially in Beijing and Shanghai. At this age, people who have some savings and are unwilling to submit to humiliation will not go to work.
2. Middle-aged people don't go to work and play cards every day to pass the time. In fact, more people do their own comfortable things. For example, many people in Shenzhen who are in their forties don't go to work to do IT research and development, mainly trading stocks and playing cards. They have free time, low material desire and a thousand pieces of living expenses.
3. There is a phenomenon in China's job market, especially in the high-income workplace, that is, many people in their 40 s and 50 s used to work in high-income jobs. At this age, if they are too high, they will be too low, and they will be idle without debt and pressure. Playing cards is a pastime.
4. Of course, more middle-aged people in their forties and fifties have to go to work, no matter how hard they are, no matter how tired they are, because they still have loans and mortgages to pay back, families and children to support and carry on with their burdens.
