Today I finally read the article that I planned to read for a while, but didn't read because I don't know if I'm emotionally prepared.

The article is titled "Working like this for 30 years". It has been suppressed not long after its release. Now the government can't even accept the fact.

For real, I don't believe in the idea of Endowment Insurance. At least not in China. I won't waste my hard-earned money for what, 40+ years in the future. I think the only useful thing for now is the medical insurance, but the government said you have to buy both or none. So now I'm looking for commercial insurance. Most of them require you to have a medical insurance from the government (part of the social security thing?). But surely not all of them require that, right?

Other than that, man, when I knew the pension for farmers are only 68 CNY a month in 2024, I was really shocked. I'm now doing monthly donation to UNICEF to help children in China, at least I can still trust the UN. But as the article said, the old generations are the forgotten ones. People get misunderstood on them, and they don't know how to speak for themselves. It really makes me feel hopeless.

If any of my English-speaking friends want to read it, there is a link translated by Google: https://telegra-ph.translate.goog/%E5%A6%82%E6%AD%A4%E6%89%93%E5%B7%A530%E5%B9%B4-07-05?_x_tr_sl=zh-CN&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=zh-CN&_x_tr_pto=wapp
