I interviewed 19 people in the corners of the city: In fact, every dream deserves to be respected

I recently participated in an event, the "Coco Season" launched by "Hedgehog Experience". If selected, you will have the opportunity to serve as an international travel volunteer in one of six major cities: Iceland, Nepal, Guizhou, Chengdu, New Zealand, and Sabah. I chose to sign up because I wanted to challenge another life and meet another self; secondly, I was attracted by one of the tasks - collecting dreams.

This task is a very meaningful thing in my eyes. The power and surprise I felt during the collection process have even made me not care whether I can be selected. Therefore, after my busy work, I am willing to spend my own time walking around every corner of the city to interview those strange dreams.

These 19 people have different professions, different ages, different genders, and even live in different cities. But they all have one thing in common: full of dreams.

Although during the interview, some people said that they had no dreams, but as the conversation continued, they found that dreams were just hidden by something. When we clear away the fog bit by bit, we can see that those dreams exist real and vividly. Don’t worry about no one listening, don’t worry about being laughed at, and don’t worry about your dreams being defeated by reality, because no matter what, everyone’s dreams deserve to be taken seriously and respected.

Today, I share these 19 "dreams" with you. After reading it, why not try to ask yourself: "What is my dream?" and see how the voice in my heart will answer.

They were the first group I interviewed. I felt friendly the first time I saw them. There is always a wonderful fate between people. When I walked up and explained my purpose, , they readily agreed.

But I did not start the interview immediately, but started chatting with them first. Teacher Lin’s mother was one of the first batch of cadres to come to Xinjiang to aid Xinjiang. Her hometown is in Yunnan, and she is an old lady of the Bai ethnic group.

Grandma said that when she came back from her hometown this time, she just wanted to see what had become of the place that her group of people had built. I asked her how she felt after watching it? Grandma said that she felt that things had changed a lot and many things were different. But when she saw that the factory where she had stayed had been sold, she felt very unhappy.

I asked my grandma: "What was your dream?" Grandma said: "Our generation only wants to do one thing well in their lives - to build Xinjiang well. At that time, I didn't think There are too many, just go where the hardships are."

Later I asked Teacher Lin: "Teacher Lin, what is your dream now?" Teacher Lin said: "I hope I can arrange my life as soon as possible to accompany my mother." Going to Dali, Yunnan, I also want to travel more while I am in good health.”

At the end of the interview, I asked my grandma what she would like to say to our younger generation. My grandma answered me like this: "You still have to forge ahead. Don't always think about money. You have to work hard to become rich. Only in this way can you become rich. You must have ideals and the spirit of hard work, so that the country can truly become rich." Grandma’s piercing eyes and firm look when she said these words will become my strength and confidence in my future life.

This pair of little sisters are very cute. They are netizens. When they met, it was the first time they met. Haha, so memorable. At first when I approached them to strike up a conversation, they were a little shy and wanted to reject me. Fortunately, I have a thick skin and finally convinced you two to accept my interview.

Me: "Excuse me, you two, what are your careers and dreams?"

Girl Liu: "I am a tourist, and my dream is to travel around the world."

Girl Li: "I am currently unemployed. My dream is to find a job quickly and make money to buy bags (covering my face in shame (*/ω＼*))."

Aape counter shopping guide. The reason why we call her the "Personality King" is firstly because this girl really has a lot of personality; secondly, because her surname is "Wang", yes, it's that simple. So there was such a coincidence.

When she learned that I was going to ask her about her dreams, she asked me this: "What should I do if I don't have a dream?"

Me: "emmmmm,.... ...., or you should think about it again?”

She: “Don’t many of the people you interviewed have dreams?”

Me: “To be precise, Everyone has dreams.

”

She: “Okay, where should we shoot?” ”

Me: “It’s okay, you are familiar with this part.” ”

However, during the filming, she only said two sentences: “My profession is Aape’s shopping guide.” My dream, no, is too big. ”

But after the filming, she told me that she is very satisfied with having a stable job.

It is not false at all to say that his aura is 2 meters, because according to me From a visual inspection, he is probably almost 2 meters tall. After all, I, a 174cm tall girl, can’t just raise my hands, I have to stand on my toes.

His profession is very good. He's an Aape shopping guide, and yes, he's a colleague of the personality king above, but this guy dressed in trendy clothes always makes me feel like he's got a lot of background. After all, standing next to him, I feel so tacky. What a waste, haha.

Mr. Shao told me that he still has three cities in China that he has not visited: Chongqing, Zhejiang, and Yunnan, so his dream in the near future is to complete China and then go abroad. The feeling he gives me is confidence. That kind of thing that is deep in his bones shows me that people with dreams are very stable, because they have their own rhythm.

Xinjiang in November. The temperature was already around 0 degrees, and it was even colder after it snowed for the first time this year. I met this guy in front of a candied haws stall.

Me: "Brother, give me two." Just a candied haws. "

The elder brother looked like a loving father, which made me suddenly miss my father at home.

Me: "Brother, do you have any dreams you want to realize? ”

Big brother: “As I get older, my dream is to earn some money, get my son married, and get things done. ”

The more simple the dream, the more touching it is. When I heard this, I felt inexplicably sad. This father missed his son and worked hard all for him. But where is his son at the moment? Who are you missing again?

There is nothing I can do, "Brother, give me two more bunches of candied haws, and I'll take them home to eat!" ”

When I met this girl, it was almost 23:00. I decided to call it a day and go home. As I was walking on the road, I suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing around me. When I turned around, I found this girl. Girl. She was speeding away from me on her skateboard. Like an old mother chasing her children home for dinner, I shouted from behind: "Hello, girl, can you wait a moment?" ”

I don’t know whether it was because the girl had good hearing or because I had a loud voice, but she boldly stopped. So I was lucky enough to interview her.

Still reading When she was in college, she told me that her dream was to be an illustrator, but her family didn’t think it would be a career, so they didn’t allow her to study. Now she feels that she is a little far away from this dream, and she said that she will still choose a career in the future. Listen to her parents. But she still wants to be a very free person and doesn't want to work in an office.

I feel sorry for her when she said this. Why can't illustrators be a professional? To be able to block a child's true dream because of my own opinions, I knew that at that moment I was also standing from the perspective of someone who had experienced it, and I also understood that I had no say in other people's lives, but I still chose to tell her: "No one. Can make decisions and choices for you, even if this person is your parent. ”

Later I walked far away and when I looked back at her, she was still skating on that open space, so persistent and serious. I don’t know what she will grow into in the future. I am also a passerby. But I know that every dream is on the way to find a free soul. Just like that book, that movie - "On the Road"

Mr. Wang, five-star hotel. Dessert chef. I have always felt that chefs who make desserts give people a sense of happiness, so when I met Chef Wang, I felt that the air became a little cute and shy. When talking about his dream, he suddenly became very serious.

He said that his dream is to have the opportunity to study in places like Guangzhou and Shanghai and improve his skills. level to make your desserts more refined.

Mr. Zhao, swimming coach. When I met him, he was guiding people to swim at the pool. When I asked him if he could accept my interview, he was very quick. I agreed.

When he learned that I was participating in such an event, he found it very meaningful and supportive. I remember that he was very serious during the preparation process. He was even a little excited and nervous when recording the video. He is really a lovely person. His dream is for more people to learn to swim.

The interviews with these three children were probably the most painful and at the same time the happiest experience in my dream collection process. I met the three of them at the subway station. With the anxiety of being disliked by them, I walked up to strike up a conversation. After going through the process of their black question mark faces, disdainful faces, sympathetic faces, and barely patient faces, I finally got their consent. At first I thought it would be OK to interview one of them and let them discuss it themselves. As a result, the situation got out of control...

Zhang Lixin: "Let him come, he is the class idol of our class and the school idol~"

Zhang Jiaming: "Get out of here , why don’t you say you are the beauty of the class, come on~"

Peiyu Xuanyang: "Let Zhang Jiaming come, he is the tallest, he is good-looking~"

Zhang Jiaming: " Let Peiyu Xuanyang come, his dream is to be an e-sports division, and he has just participated in the competition~"

Then they kept chasing each other, entangled with each other, separated, and entangled again. I was about to break my leg running behind me, and I thought this was not going to work.

Me: "Come here, give me the palms of your hands."

Finally, Zhang Jiaming stood out. Just when I was about to chuckle at my own ingenuity, the situation got out of control again. The other two started to complain like crazy. The sum of their sentences could probably be written into an essay with a zero score in the college entrance examination. I feel like I am doubting my life.

Me: "Come here! I'll pick the three of you together!"

Them: "That's okay~"

Peiyu Xuanyang: "I My dream is to be a doctor (serious nonsense)"

Me: "I can't recruit you like this, you can even lie to the elderly."

Peiyu Xuanyang. : "I, I'm afraid the teacher will see it."

Me: "Do it again!"

Zhang Jiaming: "My dream is to become an aircraft equipment maintenance technician."

Zhang Lixin: "My dream is to become a teacher."

Peiyu Xuanyang: "My dream is to become an e-sports division."

Finally , I feel like my life is complete. So get ready to finish.

Me: "You three, give me a nickname. Game ID too."

Them: "If we want to talk, just give me your real name!"

Me: "Of course, the real name is the real name."

So they gave me the game ID. Who am I, where am I, and I want to be calm.

Peiyu Xuanyang: "Peiyu Xuanyang."

Zhang Jiaming: "Zhang Jiaming."

Zhang Lixin: "Zhang Jiaming's father."

Haha, you can imagine the next scene for yourself. Finally, I just want to say one thing, teachers should not always think that children who play games are not good children. Playing games will delay learning, because maybe one day you will find that the thighs in your games are your students. You have to call people daddy.

Professional makeup artist. I interviewed her because I was about to have an event and needed to try on the dress to be hosted and confirm the makeup, so I found her.

Feifei is a very delicate girl with a petite figure and a sweet smile. If I were a boy, I would probably also like this kind of girl. She said her dream is for her family to be healthy and live happily, because in her opinion, health and happiness are the most important things.

The next person is a photographer. When they found him, his colleagues were complaining about him, saying that his dream was to go to Thailand and become a woman. What? I must record this dream! A male photographer who doesn't want to be a woman is not a good model. Then the next scene was that I, an amateur photographer, was teaching a professional photographer how to pose. When I came to my senses, I was like, Oh my God, this is so embarrassing. Please don’t let me recall the scene at that time. It’s embarrassing.

Later, there was a minimalist style video: "My dream is to become one of the top ten Chinese portrait artists."

Finally, I would like to ask silently, can I ask you to improve my photography? Technique? I promise I won’t order you to pose blindly again.

The above are strangers I interviewed on the street, and the following are my friends.

Desert Xiaoxia, circuit designer. This nickname is said to represent origin and preference. Okay, he's special enough. This guy is the one I like (hurrying to cover his face). I don’t know when I started liking it. Anyway, this person is in Germany now, and the distance between us, emmm, is probably as far as I wonder if he will be my boyfriend in the future. I know this is a bit abstract to understand, so let’s skip it and go straight to the topic, haha.

In fact, we have talked about the topic of dreams a long time ago, but this time we went deeper. In my eyes, he has always been a very thoughtful person who knows exactly what he wants. Therefore, whenever I have any questions or I don’t understand something in a book, I would first think of discussing it with him. It seems to have become a habit.

This man has three dreams: opening his own store; investing in games; and sailing.

He wants to open a store because he feels that he has never encountered a store like what he imagined; he also wants to invest in games because he wants to make games that are not available on the market; as for sailing, he said: " "Navigation is a big topic, and I haven't mentioned it yet." But I don't think it's exaggerated or out of reach. After all, sometimes, even a small point will gradually become a hole and eventually become a new land. world. So, if his boat leaks one day, I wouldn't mind helping him scoop out the water.

In fact, there is nothing that cannot be thought of. Dreams don't have to be realized sometimes. As long as they exist, they will be an invisible force.

Oh, by the way, this person’s dream was to be an electric guitar master and to be admitted to the Beijing Film and Television Directing Department. So can I say that my dream at the moment is to hear him play guitar and watch him sing? Hahaha~

Resigned and is preparing for the civil service examination. Currently located in Hangzhou. She is my best friend who I fell in love with at first sight and regretted seeing each other so late! She is a very important person in my life because she encouraged me to embark on the path of writing and inspired me to think about life. So I came to harass her: "Hey, do you have any dreams?"

She said: "Dreams, I don't have any dreams now, I'm just a salted fish now."

< p> Me: "No, salted fish can turn over~"

Her: "Actually, my dream is very simple, that is, I can bask in the sun every day and do what I like to do. , just be normal, don’t keep running around."

Thinking about it carefully, Baa Jiang has been on the road of chasing dreams for a long time. Now she wants to be calm and stable, which is also a choice she made after hard work. Maybe we all have different dreams at different stages. This is not because the dream is not firm, but because in the process of realizing the dream, we gradually know what we really want, so any dream is valuable.

A fifth-year medical graduate with a clinical major, he was successfully promoted to the postgraduate entrance examination party a few days ago. The current state is to lie on the table every day and study hard. I met her in Ili, Xinjiang. We took the same train and the same carriage. We didn’t meet, but we met on the bank of the Ili River. Fate is truly wonderful.

Later, we traveled together. During the trip, I learned that she hitched a ride to Nepal alone, and then came to Xinjiang alone. Through my own efforts, I overcame depression. Regarding her dream, I’d better post the original words she sent me here.

You will find that people with dreams shine when they work hard.

The last person I interviewed was someone I met when I was traveling and working as an associate editor on the road. At that time, my team members and I invited him to do an online travel sharing session. You can read the specific content here: "Character丨The unknown story behind Uncle Naked becoming a travel photography expert".

He chose to remain nude when he was 30 years old, and then gradually became an expert in travel photography. Now he is a "Visual China Contracted Photographer", "Seyingwuji Featured Recommended Photographer", "Ctrip Contracted Traveler", "Fliggy Contracted Traveler", "Baidu Talent Hall Certified Expert" and "WeChat Bo Certified Travel Blogger”. Currently, his circle of friends is all over the world. He was in Australia when I extended the interview invitation.

When I asked him what his dream was? This is what he answered me:

Well, if you want to talk in detail, maybe you can write an article titled "Philosophical Thinking Caused by "Dreams""?

The above are the 19 people I interviewed this time. Some of these dreams are very close to us, and some are far away from us, but these are not important. What is important is that they truly exist in our hearts and are the driving force for us to move forward. If you think about it, we are surrounded by dreams all the time. Therefore, don't be afraid that your dreams will not come true. Only by taking action can you touch him; but don't be too eager for your dreams to come true. His existence is also a realization from another perspective.

If you want to ask me what is my dream? I'll tell you I don't know, because the answer comes from you.

Finally, I would like to thank "Hedgehog Experience" for giving me the opportunity to collect everyone's dreams. The world is so big that we will meet each other if we are destined.

So, what are your dreams? Or do you have any stories about dreams? You are welcome to tell me in the message area~
