Recently, an unbelievable news that a man hurt himself when he was shaking ipad violently to snatch red envelops during the last Spring Festival Holiday came to us.
As a tradition in China, seniors in the family distributing red envelops is one of the major customs of Spring Festival, especially on the New Year's Eve, which stands for good wishes and expectations. However, for technology is developing fast now, more and more immediate chatting tools such as Microblog, QQ, Wechat start to use this way to attract consumers' eyes, therefore, the red envelops under this circumstance are becoming more and more popular.
The merchants grap major people's psychology that they look forward to pennies from heaven, and the youth are willing to enjoy the excitement in the virtual world but ignore sharing happiness with their families who are really important in our life.
While snatching red envelops was developing like a raging fire, I have ever read a sad story that a 20-year-old boy returned home twice a year.This time he returned home just laying in the sofa on New Year's Eve, absorbed in shaking mobile phone instead of chatting with his parents.Then, his parents said that ‘If we gave you two hundreds, would you stop to talk with us?'What a pity!The time which should have been spent with families was wasted by the boy.
On the one hand,there is no denying that snatching red envelops which is a derivation of the entertainment and comtenporary technology establishs a entertainment system that common people are all able to participate in and assists the rural migrants who can't return home during Spring Festival to decrease the feeling of loneliness or homesickness.On the other hand,I also have been worried about the fact that there will be some young people addicated to it by mistaking fictitiousness with reality or forget the original meaning of the red envelops.Last but not least,a number of participants complain that someone who violates laws manages to trick them,which needs to be placed under the authority of the government to create a better environment online.
