Chinanews client, Beijing, January 27th (Zuo Yukun) When it comes to "pendant" jewelry, what material do you first think of?

"Blood Pendant"
became popular, some merchants have sold more than 100,000 pieces
I believe that for most people, needles and blood draws are things that have a certain degree of psychological pressure.
Nowadays, many girls are willing to use needles, knives to pierce their fingertips and even get blood from their wrists.
The reason for these girls to behave abnormally is that someone told them that their own blood can "shield evil and eliminate disasters" for their boyfriends.
This starts with the "blood pendant" that has recently been sold on e-commerce platforms.
From the picture, the "Blood Pendant" is a simple small glass bottle, about the size of a thumb nail cap, with a hollow center and a frosted exterior, plus a strap that can be worn around the neck. The price is between ten yuan and fifty yuan. Yuan between.

But it is such a mediocre little bottle, but the sales are surprisingly high.
Shops with a monthly sales of several thousand abound, and some even reach sales of more than 100,000.
What is even more strange than the sales volume is the introduction on the product details page: the bottle comes with a dropper, a blood collection needle and a band-aid.

Selling pendants also give away "surgical kits."
Combining with the slogan on the product map, it is understood that "the merchant's intention is not in the bottle". The real function of the glass bottle is to contain the blood of girls.
In the seller's introduction, the "blood pendant" can not only express your loyalty to love, but also protect your loved ones from disasters.
A drop of blood is the best gift for the person you like.
Many people believe this seemingly absurd propaganda.
In the product evaluation, the buyers are mainly young girls who are "mad for love". They leave a message: "Although they are superstitious, I believe in them." "After looking for so many, I finally found it. It's really beautiful. To be able to protect him for a lifetime" "After I received it, he was moved and cried, loving you."
"Innocent", e-commerce platforms have "

Regarding the popularity of the "Blood Pendant", "consecration, pretending to be blood, couple tokens, amulets... to ward off evil and prevent disasters? Wake up, in addition to increasing the risk of infection, there is no evil!" The Central Committee of the Communist Youth League issued a voice on the official Weibo on the 26th.
On the afternoon of the 27th, a search on Chinanews.com found that the "blood pendant" on the main e-commerce platform had been silently "taken off the shelves". Merchants selling similar frosted glass bottles also changed the product description to "installed cinnabar, lanugo hair", etc. .

But in the comment area, you can still see traces of once selling "blood pendants", and many netizens have added messages: "This is a deformed love sister, protect yourself" "Don't take blood, don't hurt yourself".
When Chinanews.com contacted the merchant to inquire about the function of the product, the seller described it as "a small bottle that can be opened, which can hold scriptures, relics, lanugo, perfume, pills, etc., and wear it with the body, which means auspiciousness."
When Zhongxin.com again asked if it could be used to pretend to be blood, the seller replied, "Dear, we do not recommend buyers to do things that hurt themselves. Pretending to be a personal behavior, we have no right to stop it."
The seller replied.
On major social platforms, netizens have also criticized this behavior: "Sale of such goods should be banned immediately." "Feudal superstition, discrimination against women, resolutely prohibit it, and deal with it in accordance with the law!"
The risk of “collecting blood” by oneself is high, and the business should bear the responsibility
"I pricked it five or six times. It's good, but it's a bit of a finger." "I have pricked several times without bleeding. Is my skin too thick?" "All four fingers are broken to fill it up." In the comment area, many buyers reported that the process of prickling blood is far less simple than imagined.

And this private "blood sampling" method is also undesirable in the eyes of professional medical staff.
"No matter where the blood is collected, we first require that the puncture site be disinfected twice with an iodine and other professional skin and mucous membrane disinfectants, with a diameter greater than 5cm." Nurse Wang, who has been engaged in the medical care industry for many years, introduced to Chinanews.com, and when it is necessary to collect a certain milliliter When the amount of blood is counted, venous blood collection technology is needed, and the professional steps such as disinfection, blood collection method, and pressure after blood collection are more stringent.
"The so-called blood sampling method, which cuts the handle and other parts, is completely uncontrollable for ordinary people who have not received professional training, and the disinfection is not up to the standard, and it is likely to cause infection." Nurse Wang said.
"In the event of an infection, the business really has to bear the responsibility." Xiong Dingzhong, director of Beijing Qinglv Law Firm, told Chinanews.com.
However, Xiong Dingzhong believes that “the product itself has no prohibitive regulations for its production, and it does not necessarily have to pretend to be blood. But the slogan is problematic. The first is suspected of promoting feudal superstition, and the second is persuading consumers to harm themselves. , Obviously violates social public order and good customs."
Expressing love with self-harm, a deformed view of love is not desirable
Associating the "blood pendant" with good luck, it is not difficult for people with a little judgment to see that this is nonsense. Why do so many girls fall into it?
In the comment area, it is not difficult to see the enthusiasm of the girls' words: "I really love XXX, God, I must let me marry him." They may not care whether the "blood pendant" is safe or not. , They just choose to express their loyalty to each other in this way out of love-I can even hurt my body, what else can't I do for you?

Obviously, in such a relationship, the relationship between the two parties is not equal.
When a relationship needs to be expressed in a way that hurts the body, it has surpassed the barrier of a healthy relationship, and it will bring more harm to the disadvantaged party.
In love, naturally there must be the steadfastness of "I wish to have one heart, and the white head will not be separated", moreover, there must be equality of "voting me as a peach, and repaying it with Qiong Yao", and "the king has two intentions. Definitely" self-esteem and self-love.
The prerequisite for loving others is to love yourself.
As for businesses selling such so-called "love tokens", they should put an end to this kind of mentality.
Buyers’ messages and traces may be erased, but the “blood pendant” cannot be “taken off the shelf” in this way. This connivance, promotion and even use of the abnormal social atmosphere should become a red line that businesses cannot touch .
