As the Chinese economy continues to stagnate,
college students are facing a tough situation of having to drop out of school as soon as they graduate.
Recently, a man in a yellow school uniform
got a confession video from a college graduate
that made net users cry.
I am a 24-year-old college student.
After I left the society, I realized that I didn't know anything about science.
The pressure of life will crush my past pride little by little.
Maybe this society doesn't need so many college students at all.
It just needs college students' tuition.
College students solve the employment problem of college teachers,
solve the employment problem of school residents and businessmen,
but they can't solve their own employment problems.
College students have raised so many people,
but they can't raise themselves.
When I was in college, I hated the life my parents gave me.
After I started working, I found that I wanted to give my parents 1,000 yuan every month.
It's like asking for my own life.
From the beginning, I hated my parents.
Later, I understood my parents.
In the end, I found that I was not as good as my parents.
In another video,
many young people are lying on the floor of the ticket vending machine
as if they were falling down.
According to the photographer,
they are college graduates who can't find a job,
and they thought they could find more than 10,000 jobs after graduation,
but in reality, it is difficult to even find a normal job.
According to statistics from the Chinese Ministry of Education,
the number of Chinese college graduates in 2024
reached 11.79 million,
and increased by 210,000 from 2023,
and recorded the highest number in the past.
According to the report published in June
by the Chinese People's Resource and Social Insurance Information Center,
the number of new graduates who were admitted to the university
by mid-April was only 49,000.
Last year, it was 57.8%,
and last year it was 50.4%.
Many college students are on the verge of graduation.
Also, according to the data from the Chinese National Bureau of Statistics,
the number of young people graduating from China in July
rose from 13.2% in June to 17.1%,
and the highest record since entering this year was updated.
This statistic does not include the number of college students
and other age groups.
Last June, the number of young people
reached a peak of 21.3%,
and the Chinese National Bureau of Statistics
suspended the publication of data on the number of graduates.
In January this year, the number of graduates
was changed, and on the surface,
the number of young people decreased significantly.
However, the increase in the unemployment rate
is due to the continuous decline of the Chinese economy
and the shrinking of private companies.
According to the Chinese National Bureau of Statistics,
the total production in China in the second half of 2024
increased by 5.0% year-on-year
and reached the limit of 61.7%,
but many experts believe that
factory production, consumption, and investment
are below expectations.
For example, factory production in August
increased by 4.5% year-on-year
and below the expected 4.8%.
The economy increased by 2.1% year-on-year
and below the expected 2.5%,
and fixed asset investment increased by 3.4% year-on-year
and below the expected 3.5%.
In addition, the unemployment rate has increased by 5.3%.
Mr. Kori Kinin, a businessman from Shanghai,
pointed out that the actual unemployment rate
is much lower than the official announcement.
He said that the Chinese education system
itself is having a problem.
In the past few decades,
China's high-end education industry
has developed in a very distorted way.
Since the 1990s,
the number of universities has increased,
and in the 2000s,
the education industry has been industrialized
and expanded further.
As a result,
education has become a means of making money,
and there are more cases
where students are forced
to work in the service industry.
Due to this phenomenon,
where knowledge is almost unnecessary,
competition is intensifying.
Some food delivery workers
are driving on the highway at a dangerous speed
in order to get more orders
On September 16,
Typhoon No. 13 landed in Shanghai,
but some delivery workers
continued to deliver even in the typhoon.
In a video posted by a net user,
there was a typhoon and a storm
due to the impact of the typhoon,
and one delivery worker tried to deliver
but was blown away by the wind.
Even so, he supported his motorcycle,
picked up the product,
and continued to deliver again.
When this video was released,
many net users were impressed
and wondered who was working so hard
in the typhoon,
whether he was someone's son,
husband, or father.
Why is the life of Chinese people
so tough?
Also, it is strange that
there are people who order even in such a bad weather.
Some net users wonder
how the delivery platform is handling
and whether this delivery worker
will be fined if the delivery time is extended.
On the other hand,
one delivery worker said
that even in bad weather like a typhoon,
the delivery time is only 10 minutes.
If it exceeds 10 minutes,
he will still be fined.
Even if you work hard like this,
the delivery workers can only earn
the average salary of Uber Eats in Japan.
According to the survey,
the average salary of Uber Eats in Japan
is 598 yen,
but the average salary of the main delivery platforms
in China, such as Vidan, Baidu, and Wurama,
is about 6 yen.
In addition, the competition is fierce
and the number of delivery workers
is rampant,
so each platform has a strict delivery time
to reduce costs and improve competitiveness.
If the delivery time is extended,
not only will the delivery worker be fined,
but there is also a risk of not being able to receive orders.
Young people in China are facing
an unfair competition environment,
Some net users point out that
there are only four paths left
for young people today,
such as Kan, Tou, Jun, and Ken.
Kan is a fierce competition with co-workers
and colleagues,
sacrificing rest time to work hard.
Tou does not compete flatly,
loses the desire to find a job and work,
and depends on his parents
or uses up all his savings.
Jun escapes from China.
Ken violently spreads dissatisfaction with society
and hurts people who have nothing to do with it.
