In her latest video, "The BIGGEST Problem in CHINA || 中国最大的问题," Lizzy, along with Emma, explores what she believes is the biggest issue in China: excessive phone use. This isn't a commentary on politics or economics, but a deeply personal observation on the impact of technology on relationships and daily life.
Lizzy's journey begins in a Shanghai coffee shop, where she points out the ubiquitous nature of phone use. People are glued to their screens, even during meals and conversations, a stark contrast to her own upbringing where phone use during family dinners was strictly prohibited. This isn't merely an observation; Lizzy highlights the dangers, particularly among e-bike drivers who are constantly on their phones, creating hazardous road conditions.
The video delves into the social implications. Lizzy recounts a blind date where the man was glued to his phone, highlighting the lack of face-to-face interaction and the potential impact on relationships. She expresses sympathy for e-bike drivers, acknowledging the pressure to deliver quickly, but emphasizes the importance of safety and responsible phone use. The prevalence of portable chargers further underscores the level of phone dependence.
The emotional core of the video lies in Lizzy's observations of parents constantly on their phones, neglecting their children. She poignantly describes scenes of parents scrolling through their phones while their children attempt to engage them. This highlights the broader societal impact of phone addiction, extending beyond mere convenience to a potential erosion of meaningful relationships.
Lizzy contrasts this with her own experiences and those of other foreigners, emphasizing the importance of face-to-face interaction and the ease with which foreigners seem to build connections in China. She questions whether this stems from cultural differences or simply a less pervasive phone culture. The video concludes with Lizzy's hope for a change, suggesting that responsible phone use and prioritizing real-life interactions are crucial for fostering healthy relationships and a more engaged society. The video is a personal and thought-provoking reflection on a seemingly simple issue with profound social consequences.
