The video features a young woman in China speaking directly to the camera outdoors at night, sarcastically critiquing the government’s enforcement of the electric bike helmet mandate as superficial “care” while ignoring broader social issues like unemployment, low income, housing, and healthcare.
What should be managed, isn’t managed. There’s a saying like this circulating online. No one cares. No one cares. Unemployment with no income – no one cares. Having to live away from home – no one cares. Working for a boss – no one cares. Buying a house that ends up unfinished (rotten tail) – no one cares. Getting seriously ill – no one cares. But when I ride an electric bike, suddenly everyone cares about my safety. It really touches me. Your “care” ah, feels more like a performance after a second. It makes people feel the cold plot. It only stays on the surface as a gimmick. You turn a blind eye to the real difficulties in my life. You’ve never asked if I can afford to eat, or about the wind and sun exposure, or having no home and no money. It’s more like a show, a kind of hypocritical concern. When I’m unemployed, grieving from illness, impoverished and destitute, you pretend not to see, but suddenly give “care” when I ride an electric bike. Your concern instead makes me deeply feel it’s a hypocritical false protection. When I’m unemployed and sick, in poverty, you act as if you care profoundly – it’s truly moving (sarcastic).
