Probably in the recent few days, "ant tribe" has become a popular term. It represents those university graduates who are squeezed in big cities. Due to lack of stable jobs and steady income, they are mostly crowded in small living environments; therefore, they are vividly named as "ant tribe". It is said that they are China's fourth weak social group. I can deeply empathize with these people's bitterness, after all, I am also from a rural area. Facing high housing prices, low wages and scarce job opportunities in cities, their lives are quite distressed. However, when we start to focus on these "vulnerable groups", we must first think about a question: what causes their current situation? According to my understanding, among these "ant tribe" people, some graduated from universities but could not find suitable jobs, so they simply rented houses near universities and focused on studying for postgraduate exams. I have known many such people around me. Another part of them could actually work in second or third-tier cities, but because they cannot give up their dreams of Beijing, Shanghai and other big cities, they remain in these cities. They would rather abandon their majors and engage in temporary sales promotions instead of returning to second or third-tier cities to work in their professions. As for the ideals in the hearts of "ant tribe" brothers, I naturally have no objections. I am also a person with a bit of idealism, and I have never retreated due to the difficulties of society. However, idealism does not equal being unrealistic. Everyone must be clear that we live in a real world, not in our own fantasy space. Although you may have read many inspiring stories, when you are only at the fringes of your own society and engaged in jobs with no technical content, you will never truly improve yourself, and you will only drift further away from your ideals (those who already have their projects but are still in the initial stages of the project are exceptions). Sometimes I think, sticking to our ideals does not mean we cannot compromise with reality. On the contrary, making the most beneficial choice in front of reality is to accumulate more energy for realizing our ideals in the future. This is the pragmatic approach. Back in the day, when Liu Bang was driven to the Hanzhong region by Xiang Yu, he deliberately burned the plank roads, but he eventually established the Han Dynasty. Clearly, short-term compromises do not equate to abandoning one's ideals, as long as you do not forget them. I don't understand why these "ant tribes" cannot return to second or third-tier cities. If you really believe you can achieve success, going back to do those jobs that improve you can help you understand society better and enhance your professional practical abilities. Why not? Moreover, based on my own experience, most graduates (except for a few geniuses, though if they were geniuses, they probably wouldn't end up as "ant tribes") in the first couple of years after graduation do not possess strong working abilities and create very limited value for enterprises (I personally graduated from a decent school and should not underestimate most people). I really can't believe that if these people wander in society for a few years, they would still have any possibility of achieving their ideals. Of course, there is another part of people who are not persisting for their ideals; they have already abandoned their ideals. The reason they stay in Beijing and Shanghai is because their classmates all do this; it's because their parents at home expect it (I also know such people). I feel sorry for these people because they are not living for themselves. They completely do not know what they want and have never thought about it. I think this kind of people lacks "self-awareness" too much, and I really think they need to reflect. In fact, not just them, isn't China's high housing prices, to a certain extent, also caused by the lack of "self-awareness" among the masses? They forget the purpose of their lives, misled by various interest groups, becoming their slaves. Let me say something harsh: "The pitiable must have their hateful aspects," what exactly causes the current living predicaments of the "ant tribe"? Shouldn't they themselves reflect more? Pain leads to change! I believe that these "ant tribes" should be able to gain something from their arduous lives.
