On April 16th, the incident of "Auntie Complaining about Young People Hanging Curtains on Sleeper Berths and Not Allowing Others to Sit" drew attention.
According to reports from several domestic media outlets, an auntie captured footage of a young person hanging curtains on the lower berth of a train and claimed that the young person refused to let an elderly person sit down, urging netizens to weigh in.
This incident has sparked discussion. In response, state media pointed out that the legitimacy of the situation does not solely depend on who captured the video, but rather, it is the ticket holder who has the final say.
Previously, discussions about the ownership of lower berths have sparked debates among netizens. Some argue that since they paid more for their berth, they are not obligated to let others sit, while others believe that lower berth occupants should accommodate others, promoting mutual understanding.
Some netizens also expressed that if the lower berth passenger is unwilling, other passengers should not force them into a moral dilemma. After all, in this world, no two leaves are exactly alike. Lower berth passengers may be outgoing and enjoy socializing, while others may prefer solitude and quiet.
It's a scenario where lower berth passengers may enjoy more interaction with passengers on the middle and upper berths, but their desire for solitude should also be understood and respected.
Respecting individuals' personalities and thoughts, along with fostering mutual understanding and trust, without taking others' kindness for granted, is key to encouraging more people to share and communicate.
