Who is your emergency contact

When a girl asked "what problems will women in their thirties still face and how to solve them", the question of "emergency contact" came to my mind, So I replied: "I often worry about the 'emergency contact' in that column when filling in the information, so I think the first problem to be solved if I am still single is to find an emergency contact for myself. You can definitely rely on this person. It's best to be in the same city and have good friends, siblings and parents. Determine such a person. TA is not only the emergency contact on your information, but also when you are ill and accident Someone who can come to you and give you support at the first time. Although many singles prefer and are used to an independent life, they still have to find such a person for themselves. "
It is inevitable that you need to fill in a form in your work life. There is usually a column of "emergency contact" on the form. Life changes from student to work. The same thing is that you always need an emergency contact. What does an emergency contact mean? I never thought about it seriously before. Before college, I always filled in the number of my home. After college, I filled in the number of my best friend. After graduation, I came to Xiamen and slapped in the big city, but I had no relatives. When looking for a job, I subconsciously filled in the number of my brother in another city, because I didn't want others to contact my parents and surprise them in case of an emergency.
The first time I seriously thought about the meaning of "emergency contact" was to help a friend who had just come to Xiamen find a house and move. She said, "I'll engrave a copy of the key and send it to you. In the future, you will be my emergency contact. I left your number to the landlord. I had an accident. You are my most important contact in this city."
I was shocked, moved by the trust of the other party, and felt "great responsibility" I said with a smile, "don't let the landlord come to me if you can't afford the rent.", She said seriously, "you can no longer rely on your parents and family when you go out. People like us who live alone need to confirm an emergency contact in the same city. Both sides have a consensus that they can appear for each other at the first time when they have an accident and their lives are at stake. Otherwise, no one knows when they die!"
"Bah, what do you say, dead or alive!" I scolded and slapped, but I didn't think so. This year's BRT explosion, the first time on the day of the incident, the microblog was full of people seeking notices. Colleagues looked for their colleagues and friends looked for their friends, which made people worried. Accustomed to going to and from work alone, eating alone, walking alone and going out alone, I felt a lonely desolation for the first time.
I think there must be such a person in the crowded crowd in the endless train. He is not familiar with his colleagues, and he has no friends in this city. No one pays attention to whether he got on the train, and no one will look for and confirm him at the first time. After several days, I still saw the information of the body to be confirmed on the relevant official microblog. The impermanence and smallness of life gave me a blow to the head.
It should be said that I am not alone in Xiamen. I have many old friends here, who also take care of me. Moreover, I am used to living alone and enjoy myself. I don't feel so lonely. Make complaints about how to stay in a strange city, "said the green teacher." friends, friends, Tucao, no friends, fruit, fruit chat, at least in the office. Water, electricity and Internet are free. What can I do with it, like writing money, I have done it all... "
Many people like it. I looked at it and silently hugged everyone who likes it in my heart, so that every time I passed the fruit beach, I would think of these words. I thought that so many people struggling alone in a city are so lonely and difficult, not even a speaker. Fortunately, there are fruit stalls. As a stranger in the city, you have to work hard to get everything, including an emergency contact in the same city. After seeing this, whenever friends with ordinary friendship first arrive in Xiamen, I try to give them more care and help, so that they can settle down as soon as possible and enjoy the beauty of the city.
The older I get, the more I can understand the meaning of marriage. I mean, I have grown from a "long live single" person to an objective understanding of "being single is harmful". Who will take you to the hospital and take care of you when you have an emergency at home alone? Suddenly being laid off and unemployed, who will temporarily share your rent or monthly payment? Parents grow old and are no longer the most suitable candidates. Moreover, most of the time, you are in a distant city, beyond the reach of your parents. Nowadays, the majority of young people are only children, and they have no siblings to take care of each other. In the vast crowd, there are lonely and lonely individuals. Have you found your emergency contact?
It's convenient for people who are not single or in different places. Just fill in the number of your loved one. It's a number that has been filled in and has become a past, or a story or feeling. For single people, who is the emergency contact? In any case, you should find such a person for yourself. He can call you in the middle of the night because of a stomachache, or you can call him when you are frightened by a robber at night.
None of us can say when we need a shoulder or a hug. All we can do is find a friend who can lend each other a shoulder or a hug at any time. For such a friend, you can keep his number in the column of "emergency contact".
