Chapter 98: The Village Is Popular

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After a long while, a floating comment appeared: [May I ask what this means? I don’t know much about classical Chinese.]

[The phrase “May the gray-haired old not walk on the streets with a heavy load” is from Meng Zi’s “My Country”. It means that the elderly will not carry things on their backs or heads while walking on the streets.]

[The problem of empty nests and left-behind children in the countryside is really sad. That grandmother is already in her seventies, but she still has to work so hard.]

[Can’t you be more filial as a child?? Don’t you feel ashamed to let an old woman be a nanny for your grandson?]

[You can’t blame the children, right? The children are going out for their families. If they don’t work hard, how can they earn money to support their families?]

The live broadcast room began to discuss social issues. This topic concerned everyone and could resonate with everyone.

Of course, there were also people who made moral coercion: [Are Gu Yang and Ji Jingchi just looking on and making passing remarks? Aren’t you going to help? At least help the elderly take care of the children?]

[How hypocritical. Who doesn’t know how to sigh? They sure know how to act! Ji Jingchi earns tens of millions per movie. Isn’t Gu Yang the daughter of a wealthy family? Why don’t they donate some to these poor old people and children left behind in the village?

But soon, someone refuted it.

[What do you mean by helping the old woman and the child? Are you idiots? If it were you, would you dare to agree to two strangers saying that they would help you take care of the child? Why would they believe you? And even if you help them today, what about in the future? Do you want Ji Jingchi and Gu Yang to stay here forever??]

[Get lost. Ji Baby donates money every year, but he didn’t use it for publicity. You can go to Ji Jingchi’s global fan club’s Weibo for the details. As for Miss Gu Yang, she’s still a student. Didn’t the Gu family publicly donate 100 million previously?]

[The poster who said that he should donate money. I just want to ask how much money you donated and what you contributed to society. Don’t keep harping on Ji Baby’s ten million paychecks. The market is just like that. It’s not something Ji Baby can decide. The cake is there. Anyone can eat it. Even if it’s not Ji Baby, it’s someone else.]

Gu Yang and Ji Jingchi indeed didn’t go up to help the old woman. After all, with their strength, they could help for a while, but they couldn’t help forever.

Moreover, in this era of self-media, if they went up to help and let the old man and child appear in the live stream, it would backfire. Excessive exposure would attract countless internet celebrities to disturb their peaceful lives and would only bring trouble to the old woman.

As expected, because of the scene in “Drinking in the Countryside”, the topic of empty nest old people and left-behind children became a trending topic again, causing many people to reflect.

The village where “Drinking in the Countryside’s” production team was filming the variety show was also dug out. It was a poor village in Liang City.

Many people also realized through Gu Yang and Ji Jingchi’s live broadcast that although this village was poor, the natural scenery wasn’t inferior to some internet attractions. Its beauty was in its serenity.

After this episode of “Drinking in the Countryside”, this remote mountain village became popular online. Many online celebrities came to check it out, which also drove the local tourism industry.

At the same time, the country’s specially protected animals were discovered on the mountain, attracting many researchers to come and inspect.

No matter what happened in the future, at least for now, it was beneficial to this poor village. The local village committee was also smart enough to take advantage of this opportunity to lead the villagers to develop homestays.

At the same time, it also attracted many young people to return to their hometowns to start businesses. To a certain extent, this improved the situation of empty nesters and left-behind children. However, there was still a long way to go to really solve this problem..
