According to the official background statistics of 20 16 wechat, middle-aged and elderly people send wechat 44 times a day. At the same time, they are also becoming a big forwarding of rumors in WeChat friends circle. According to the survey, 80% of users who forward more than five rumors every month are middle-aged and elderly people over 50 years old. In the past six months, the circle of friends of middle-aged and elderly people has been filled with news such as "genetically modified organisms are toxic", "food is mutually reinforcing" and "Japanese nuclear radiation seafood causes cancer". Although these rumors have been refuted many times, some middle-aged and elderly people are still their fans and are frequently forwarded, as if life is full of crises everywhere.

On the other hand, social media can also be seen everywhere young people's reprimand and contempt for middle-aged and elderly friends' credulous rumors. For example, the article "Friends circle, please leave my parents alone", which is popular all over the country, summarizes the favorite friends circle of middle-aged and elderly people in a humorous way, and also reflects the helplessness of children against their parents. In addition, middle-aged and elderly friends prefer to forward "chicken soup texts", but most young people say that they don't buy these "gratitude education" and highly sensational moral indoctrination contents.

Now, as a social phenomenon, middle-aged and elderly people believe in rumors and love to drink "chicken soup", which has become a label. Coupled with "the old man can't help himself when he falls down", it has become a new charge for the old man. Regrettably, judging by labels is tantamount to a simplified theory, which will deepen the misunderstanding between the two generations. If we put aside social labels and rationally analyze why the elderly are easy to believe the rumors of friends circle and "chicken soup for the soul", we can better understand the middle-aged and elderly people and effectively prevent and stop the scams against them.

In today's China, middle-aged and elderly people do have material and emotional crises. More and more middle-aged and elderly people choose to live alone, which is too closed. On the one hand, in the context of rising prices and medical expenses, the sense of security of middle-aged and elderly people has decreased; On the other hand, in a society with fewer children, young people have a heavy burden. Even if they live together, their emotional care and contact with the elderly are still alienated, and their emotional escort can't keep up. After careful observation, you will find that the characteristics of "rumor posts" are always accompanied by such elements as "emotional temptation", such as "terrible, terrible", exaggerating the seriousness of food safety problems to get forwarding, or "seeking diffusion" and "forwarding can ……", taking advantage of the insecurity of the elderly to get recognition in a sincere tone.

In most cases, trusting others is a positive quality. If you can't trust others, you can't effectively cooperate with others in real life. In this sense, trust is very necessary. The trust will of middle-aged and elderly people constitutes an important part of their lives. Help people facing midlife crisis to better accept society, reposition their roles, care about people around them and give more help to subordinates and friends. Most importantly, parents and children can share the feelings of love because of trust, which constitutes the basis of a healthy parent-child relationship.
