The Ideal Economy in "Go Fighting!" and "Back to Field"

By DaDa

Do you little cuties like watching "Go Fighting!" and "Back to Field"? These variety shows not only feature very funny celebrities, but also always tell us some truths, letting us unknowingly realize the "ideal economic life" amid laughter and joy! Want to see what resonates with this editor?

"Go Fighting!"

The star-and-civilian interactive inspirational experience show "Go Fighting!" Season 4 is airing hot on Dragon TV. In the latest episode, members of the "Go Fighting! team" will carry out an outdoor team-building activity themed "Back to Field" in Anji, Huzhou, Zhejiang (when Anji is mentioned, all I know is "Anji white tea"). The members all put on miner's helmets and transform into miners. They will pass through level after level to compete for the "minerals" represented by gold and silver apples, thereby earning the right to enter a villa and enjoy the "good life," while the "brain trust" will also take part, jointly competing for this beautiful life!

In this episode, we can see that the production team built an "ecosystem"-style eco-house. In the end, when the Men's Gang live in the house, each person's carbon emissions have a certain value. After entering the eco-house, they need to be even more careful. Once they turn on too many electrical appliances, the indoor carbon emissions exceed the limit, and they will suffer "attacks" of acid rain and smog. Even Huang Lei does not dare to use high heat when cooking. Under the influence of the "smog," the Men's Gang can only save themselves by planting trees. After realizing the importance of protecting the environment, they cannot help but exclaim that "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets." After this mission, the "Go Fighting! team" will use their own practical actions to explain to people the importance of the environment in human development, and they also hope that with their own strength they can call on more people to join the cause of environmental protection.

"Back to Field"

The large-scale lifestyle service documentary show "Back to Field," jointly launched by Hunan Satellite TV and Hexin Media, has already aired its second season. Huang Lei, He Jiong, Liu Xianhua, Peng Yuchang, and the different guests who come each episode live an idyllic life, with their own yard, vegetable plot, fish pond, and a few good friends. Every day they just do farm work, chat with friends, and cook. This slowed-down life is exactly like what Teacher He reads at the beginning from "The Color of the Cabin": I need a piece of land, a bit remote, where I can do whatever I want to do. To be precise, I want an outdoor place prepared for friends, where people do not need to worry about work, but instead need to work closely with one another and hone new skills.

In fact, there is also a touching story behind the book "The Color of the Cabin." In 2009, young American entrepreneur and Vimeo founder Zach Klein bought a piece of land in the mountains on the far outskirts of New York City, built several cabins with friends, and lived there together. His website "The Color of the Cabin" came into being. Here, people from all over the world shared more than 12,000 photos of cabins and stories of building them. Among them, 200 exquisite photos and 10 moving stories make up this book "The Color of the Cabin." Among the 200 cabin scenes from all over the world are deep mountains, deserts, jungles, rivers and seas, high cliffs, earthen slopes... They tell you that as long as you are willing, a person can live comfortably and contentedly anywhere they like.

The Ideal Economic Life

Seeing the eco-house finally collapse in "Go Fighting!", when we realize that we humans must plant trees and must protect the ecological environment in order to continue surviving, I cannot help but sigh with emotion. Fortunately, this is only fake, but I also cannot help but feel frightened afterward. Could this be the future of humanity?

Seeing the simple mushroom house in "Back to Field," those cute animals, those kind people, that simple yet warm life, perhaps this is the ideal life we humans strive for our whole lives. Economy means ordering the world and benefiting the people, being able to support oneself and afford to support one's family. Perhaps this is the highest pursuit of our lives: one family, two people, three meals, four seasons, simple and plain, happy and joyful!

After reading this editor's interpretation of these two variety shows, do you find them even more profound? Do you have a more emotional understanding of the ideal economy? Why not discuss it together!
