A Negative Nainai悲观的奶奶

This old lady has lived at Nanluoguxiang #12 for 60 years since arriving in her twenties. She thinks things have been going down hill rapidly on the street over the last two to three years. She doesn’t like the crowds. “The number of people is great, but the amount they spend is not,” she says. People born after 1980 are not favorites either. They are rude when asking for directions, omitting “excuse me”, and always walk around the street eating. None of this happened at the time of Mao.

这个奶奶在南锣鼓巷12号住已经有60年。她的观点有点悲观，觉得近几年中这条街在快速地恶化。我问她商业化是否促进了经济发展，她反而觉得人“来的多，买的少”。还有，她对八九十后的人特有意见，说他们问路的时候不会说“请问”或者“谢谢”，并且总是边走边吃。她还说了，毛主席的时候大家更有素质。
