"Walking Alone": Life is like a journey against the odds, walking alone is not sad

Life is bound to be full of ups and downs. Being open-minded, walking alone and enjoying the rare freedom in life is also a wise man.

Walking alone is easy to find, but freedom is hard to find.

Mr. Jia Pingwa's collection of essays "Walking Alone" is about thinking about people and life.

The book says:

Since people come to the world like ants, they are born and die, gather and disperse. In just a few decades, they can be as comfortable as they should be. When it comes time to be cool, be cool and live your life to the fullest. This is the whole meaning of survival.

In this case, why bother? Only smile is the real magic weapon for victory.

1. Suffering is a required course in life

Life is a disaster. Whether you can get through it depends on luck and courage.

When Jia Pingwa was a boy, he was caught up in the "Cultural Revolution". His family was poor and he had many children (one brother and two sisters). His father, who was the principal, was regarded as a "capitalist roader" and was dragged away to the mountains. Transformation".

The burden of the family rests on the mother of Little Foot in the Mountain.

My mother could only make money by spinning threads for others day and night. Even so, she didn't want to interrupt her children's way to school.

Only knowledge is a fire in a miserable life, which can illuminate people's future.

The family tried their best to study well. My mother said: "We can survive. No matter how bitter the Coptis chinensis is, we can swallow it."

But it was difficult for my mother to support herself alone. In this family, the young Jia Pingwa chose to drop out of school and start earning work points on the production team.

I thought that the family's life would be smooth, but the spinning wheel my mother used to spin thread broke down after countless repairs.

It costs fifteen yuan to buy a new spinning wheel, which is a huge sum of money for the Jia family who have no livelihood.

When people have no choice but to survive, they will always find ways to survive.

At the suggestion of his neighbor Fifth Uncle, Jia Pingwa began to follow him to the mountains to cut branches, and then carried them to the market to sell.

With the help of his neighbor’s fifth uncle, Jia Pingwa finally climbed up the cliff. Before he could cut down a wild thorn tree, his hands were covered with blood blisters.

When carrying firewood down the mountain, the road became even more difficult and my calves were trembling. When crossing the river, he lost his balance and fell to the ground. He was crushed under a pile of firewood and his legs were broken.

Even so, Jia Pingwa went to the mountains several times, and finally saved enough money to buy a new spinning wheel for his mother.

The new spinning wheel is very powerful. It spins several taels more thread than before, and the family has hope for life again.

Rousseau said:

Suffering, for the weak, is the tomb of death, but for the strong, it is the soil where ambition grows.

There is no desperate situation in life that cannot be overcome. No matter what hardships and setbacks a person experiences, as long as his heart is full of faith, there is nothing he cannot overcome.

Only when one is born into suffering can the flowers of hope bloom on the stubborn and unyielding soil.

2. Uncomfortability is the inevitable path to middle age

It is not easy to reach middle age. The pressure from all aspects is concentrated in one body, making people breathless.

Jia Pingwa’s works caused controversy in newspapers and periodicals. Originally, it is normal for a literary work to have disputes. However, the content of the dispute is often out of control, and even develops outside the work, with the momentum of a storm.

At that time, Jia Pingwa was a little timid and at a loss.

No one who has a family wants to show his dissatisfaction in front of his family. He just wants to be a perfect son, husband and father.

But the less you want your family to know, the more worried your family will be.

The father did not dare to ask his son, so he had to make a special trip to the county town thirty miles away to read the newspapers to see what was going on.

In order to appease his son's emotions and cheer him up, he ran to the city to see his son.

The son didn't say anything, and the father didn't ask. He just advised his son: "If nothing happens, we won't look for trouble. If something happens, don't be afraid of it. You must have an opinion in your heart no matter what others say. Life is about three sections and four sections." How can we keep walking on a smooth path? ”

Life is destined to be uncomfortable, and a person can only digest his loneliness.

The hardships of the world have consumed a middle-aged man’s dignity, leaving him to find peace of mind in the cracks.

Some time ago, Jia Nailiang was delivering goods live. Five hours in a row without a break or a sip of water.

He worked hard to try out the red number for the audience; he twirled the magic wand like a child, and performed fancy rope skipping at the drop of a hat, all in order to present the best live broadcast effect.

When I learned that it had set a sales record of 240 million, I knelt on the ground and shed tears with excitement.

Some people say he is humble, others say he is brave.

The shame brought by Li Xiaolu once made him a joke.

He doesn’t defend or attack, he works hard on filming and variety shows, and he looks calm and relaxed, as if everything has passed.

However, this kneeling and crying showed how much pressure he was under. He urgently needs people's recognition to prove that he can stay in the entertainment industry decently.

The calm on the surface cannot withstand the wind and waves within.

Who hasn’t been tossing and turning all night, unable to sleep, feeling depressed to the point of crying, looking through the circle of friends, but there is no one to talk to.

No matter how much money you have, no matter how high your grades are, you can’t buy a free and independent life.

Only put your mind down, forget your worries, and enjoy the moment.

3. Peace of mind is a must-choose question for walking alone

The book says:

It is wrong to be serious about things in the world, and it is even wrong not to be serious, and to be persistent. No, it’s not right to treat everything as empty. It’s ordinary and natural, like going up a mountain to worship Buddha, and kowtow when you see a Buddha statue. After kowtowing, the Buddha statue is still a Buddha statue, and you are still you - the burden of life should be reduced.

After suffering and ups and downs, you have not changed, but your heart has become peaceful.

Read, play chess, cards, eat cigarettes, drink alcohol. When you are tired, listen to Qin opera, walk around. When you are tired, look at skylarks, look at asparagus, and look at the moon traces in the late rain. , living a lonely and Zen-like life.

Maybe life may not go smoothly, but it can make your heart peaceful. Only when your heart is peaceful can you feel free and comfortable.

Tong Liya posted a new update in the past two days, wearing a slim white dress with her back to the camera. The figure is well-proportioned and slender, especially the exposed beautiful back, which makes her look even more elegant.

On the face tilted to the left, there was a slight smile. Time seemed to stand still, and worries naturally escaped.

Previously, Tong Liya's marriage was on the verge of collapse due to her husband Chen Sicheng's scandal. Later, she was controversial because she resigned from the role of Gu Jia in the popular TV series "Thirty Only".

But now the beauty is independent, like a lily growing freely, untainted by color but free from dust, wind and rain.

Life will eventually return to peace, and the chaotic days will be smoothed over by time.

The book says:

When the sun and moon alternate for one year, the tree will grow in a circle. Life originates from one point and moves along a linear path. Countless circles have completed the end of life, and what is left behind is useful materials.

Every experience is meaningful and valuable. Even if you are walking alone, there is no need to be sad.

Walking alone is a spiritual seclusion, and it is the comfort and satisfaction of watching the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court after many storms.
