In the pulse of the city, food delivery riders are like the blood of the city, shuttling between the longitude and latitude of prosperity and bustle, chasing the dream of life with tenacious steps. They are not only a bridge connecting taste buds and dining tables, but also a vivid footnote to the vitality and tenacity of the city, outlining the trajectory of struggle on the canvas of the times with sweat.
The recently released movie "Reverse Life" focuses the camera on the new business group of food delivery riders with delicate brushstrokes, outlining the vigorous rise of new business forms in the wave of economic structural adjustment, as well as the opportunities and challenges faced by individuals in this torrent of change, allowing the audience to re-examine the meaning and value of life in laughter and tears.
In the film, Gao Zhilei (Xu Zheng) was originally a high-paid employee in the Internet industry. Due to a sudden change in his life, he embarked on the journey of a food delivery rider. This huge change in identity is not only a major turning point in his personal career, but also a microcosm of individual struggle and growth under the adjustment of economic structure. He tasted the ups and downs of life in the wind and rain, discovered his self-worth in adversity, and achieved the sublimation and transformation of his soul.
"We don't have any other discrimination here, only delivery riders." In the film, the joke by Zhu Zhanzhang (played by Jia Bing) reveals the important role of new formats in absorbing employment and promoting social integration. With the wave of mobile Internet sweeping in, the emerging professional group of "online deliverymen" has sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and was included in the national occupational classification catalog as a new profession in 2020. This emerging professional group has not only become an "accelerator" of urban life, but also an important driving force for social and economic development. According to statistics, as of 2023, the annual active online deliverymen of major platform companies in my country have exceeded 12 million. They use their hard work and sweat to weave the warmth and hope of the city.
The film's profoundness lies in the fact that it does not indulge in the rendering of the difficulties of food delivery riders, but instead digs deeply into the wisdom and skills behind this profession. From the strategy of the "single king" food delivery rider to accurately calculate the distance and time, to the witty response to various emergencies, the professionalism and complexity of food delivery riders are fully and profoundly displayed. These vivid details allow the audience to have a more comprehensive and profound understanding of this profession, and also make us full of respect and respect for this group.
"Reverse Life" is not only a film that reflects reality, but also a work that calls for social attention and care. In the film, the plot of the rider who was racing against time and encountered a traffic accident touched the hearts of every audience. It makes us realize the urgency and importance of improving the supervision mechanism and protecting the rights and interests of workers while the economy is developing rapidly.
It is gratifying that with the continuous emergence of new employment forms, relevant departments have introduced a number of policy measures. Since 2021, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the State Administration for Market Regulation and other departments have successively issued policies to urge platforms and cooperative enterprises to assume corresponding responsibilities for the protection of riders' rights and interests, support them to participate in social insurance, and participate in the pilot program of occupational injury protection for flexible employment personnel on the platform in accordance with national regulations. On February 23 this year, in response to the problems of excessive working hours for some workers in new employment forms, insufficient openness and transparency in the formulation of platform rules, and arbitrary changes in income standards, the official website of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security announced three new measures, namely "Guidelines for the Protection of Rest and Labor Remuneration Rights and Interests of Workers in New Employment Forms", "Guidelines for the Publicity of Labor Rules for Workers in New Employment Forms", and "Guidelines for the Protection of Rights and Interests of Workers in New Employment Forms", which provide a "safety belt" for groups such as food delivery riders, making the development of the industry more warm and emotional.
Taking delivery riders as a mirror, "Reverse Life" not only presents a long narrative of personal struggle and the pulse of the times, but also reflects the tenacity and dreams of practitioners in the new business model. It awakens the courage and hope deep in our hearts, and inspires us to hold the rudder of hope tightly and set sail bravely no matter what profession we are in.
