The Dongguan of the X Recession Era needs to revitalize the KTV industry!

Is Dongguan also going to hold a KTV service quality improvement conference? My goodness! How difficult are the young people of this generation! To be honest, the decline of KTV is indeed a pressing issue for Dongguan! Dongguan was once the leader of the KTV entertainment industry! Data shows that over 70,000 KTVs have closed in the past 9 years across the country, it's simply heartbreaking! If quality upgrades are not mentioned, Dongguan might become the next 'entertainment desert'.

But this trend is not just a Dongguan issue; the entire entertainment industry is crying for help! Hotels, flowers, cinemas, Viagra, condoms... everything related to desire seems to have been magically plunged into a downturn. Just look at how tragic this year's 520 is: e-commerce flower sales have dropped by 41% year-on-year, and the price of roses is unprecedentedly cheap, making merchants want to cry! Remember last year's social media scene of 'showing transfers' and 'showing roses'? This year is so quiet it feels as if 520 never existed!

Now, looking at the domestic Viagra champion Baiyunshan Jinge, its sales have plummeted by 13.17% over 24 years. The world's largest condom manufacturer, Kang Le Company, is even worse, with sales halved for two consecutive years! This generation of young people seems to have no energy left for love! In the context of an economic downturn, 'desire' has become a real luxury! Do you remember how we used to live? Shopping, watching movies, KTV, and budget hotels were all clearly arranged! But now, young people don't even want to think about dating. It's not that they can't date; it's that they don't want to!

The number of marriages has sharply decreased by 159,000 pairs, while the number of divorce registrations has increased by 57,000 pairs... This generation of young people seems to treat marriage as a 'pressure cooker', preferring not to open it if possible! DINK families, cohabiting couples, open marriages... these terms that once seemed absurd might become the norm in the future.

Theoretically, during economic downturns, people tend to choose low-cost consumption methods. Since sexual life is an almost zero-cost form of entertainment, it should occur more frequently. However, society now exhibits a state of low desire, suggesting that in tough economic times, people significantly reduce their physiological needs, much like in present-day Japan. Times have changed; the era of crazily pursuing love and desire has passed, replaced by a new trend of 'living wonderfully as an individual'.
