Memories are like wine, sometimes intoxicating, sometimes charming

Memories are like wine, sometimes intoxicating, sometimes charming

I graduated from college in 2013, and it has been 7 years now, but I don’t feel that it has passed. a long time. Seven years is a long time for a person, but psychologically it feels like it was yesterday. Why is this? In these years, I have never felt that my life is too tight. I have enough money to eat and wear clothes. But that's all.

People will change, some will get better and some will get worse. Everyone's life has different meanings, whether for himself or for his relatives.

I hope that the meaning of life is positive. This state will make people feel happy. Of course, happiness is not the entire pursuit of life. It is even said that this pursuit is difficult to achieve, because people like this You will experience many hardships in your life. During the process of going through the hardships, I believe that most people will not feel happy for the first time.

Even if you want to be optimistic, you still need to adjust yourself. There is a process. Since happiness is not the entire pursuit of life, what exactly is the pursuit of life?

I found this answer when I read the popular book "Alive" by Yu Hua in one sitting on the plane back to Shenzhen from Shenyang this year.

The meaning of living is to live.

Few people may understand or recognize this sentence when they first see it, but I think it is true that the meaning of living is to live. Living is the meaning of living. No matter what happens or what you experience, just live. It doesn't matter whether you are brave or strong. Life is a long-distance race. There seems to be only one point. Living to the end is meaningful.

Perhaps this meaning is only for the majority of working people, most ordinary people. After all, we have never experienced a life where we were born with fine clothes and food and clothing. How you live depends on what you are doing.

After graduating from high school in 2009, I came to a city less than an hour away from Beijing by high-speed rail with full enthusiasm and began four years of carefree college life. Looking back now, the four years of college life are like a kind of wine. A glass of wine is full of happy flavor, which is worth tasting slowly and savoring.

Life in this city is like a glass of good wine. A glass of good wine that you can’t bear to put down after one sip. It’s indescribable how wonderful it is. Not everyone likes to drink wine. Only those who drink can feel its specialness and taste.

Just like how I feel now when I recall that time, only I can truly feel it. You may think it is just a glass of wine. You can forget about it after drinking it, but some tastes can never be forgotten.

In June 2020, it rained continuously for three days outside the window. Writing these seemingly meaningless words under the desk lamp may just be a way to kill boring time. But is time really boring? Maybe the meaning of writing is to recover my impetuous heart in the bustling city of Shenzhen. I often tell myself that I should write more and record my mood more. I believe it will be done slowly in the future.

"The summer wind is blowing warmly, passing through the ears clearly." This song has become inexplicably popular this summer. There are all kinds of good songs There are covers. Listening to this song by the window on a rainy day and writing short articles under the gentle lamp is indeed very comfortable. Although few people care, and only a few people can read these articles, what does it matter? Writing and calligraphy are the same thing. They are also about cultivating one's moral character. It is natural to practice calligraphy to perfection, and the same is true for writing.

Shenzhen is surprisingly quiet in the rain. The buildings stopped moving and stood there quietly. On sunny days in the south, there are mostly clouds. When the clouds move, so do the buildings. Therefore, a city on a sunny day is full of vitality and moving. It's rare that the city can be quiet for a while when it rains. This seems to explain why it is always so quiet on rainy days.

The power of silence is terrible. All things grow in silence and disappear in the noise. It's a pity that my youth was noisy and it passed away. Be happy to celebrate those who have quiet youth, and rejoice that their youth is growing. Those who studied hard when they were young and ignored what happened outside the window, God will not let you down.

Because people who are different from you are now writing some irrelevant words here.

Many young people came to Shenzhen from other places because they wanted to work hard in the big city. After coming here, I discovered that a stable life is so worth pursuing. Not everyone can exchange their youth, strength, and sweat for money, and not all salespeople can become rich overnight. How many years of accumulation and planning are needed to achieve the goal when there is a chance.

But what if there is no chance? What to buy a house in Shenzhen? Most people like me rent thatched huts. If the conditions are slightly better, you can rent a house close to the city, which will make it much more convenient to go to work. But for those whose monthly salary is less than 10,000 yuan, where do they find happiness? It's okay to be single, but if you're in a relationship, what's your hope for the future? Without a sudden burst of economic growth, this city will never belong to you, and you will never belong to this city.

As for me, the purpose of coming to Shenzhen is to belong to this city, but I am still confused.

Sometimes I have no choice but to tell myself, don’t think about how to achieve your goals, first think about what you have gained in these years. For me, I have gained a lot. Although I am not rich or wealthy, for me, a poor child from a rural area, my current level has been greatly improved. It is just that I am not satisfied. . It is precisely because I am still not satisfied with the status quo that I keep thinking about progress and success.

I have been to many places over the years, including Qinghai, Xining, Lanzhou, watching the sunrise at Heima River, Guizhou, Qiandongnan, Zhaoxing Dong Village, Zhenyuan Ancient Town, Libo Xiaoqikong, Kaili, Congjiang, Guiyang, Chengdu, Chongqing, Shenyang, Beijing, Tianjin, Hangzhou, Nanjing Confucius Temple, Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Suzhou, Changzhou, Ningbo, Quzhou, Longyou, Fuzhou, Xiamen, Guangzhou, Wuhan, Changsha, Nantong, Guilin, Wei Zhoudao, Huangshan, Hongcun, Lucun, Wuyuan, Qingyuan, Jiangmen, Huizhou, Nanchang.

Suddenly I remembered the song "The Meaning of Travel" by Chen Qizhen. You have seen many beautiful scenery and many beauties. You have read many movies and many books. Although they were not successful, they were quite rewarding. I have met a lot of people and I am no longer as naive as before. I have a deep memory of the places I have been to in recent years, but I can’t remember which movies or books I have read. Maybe it is because I have seen too many movies. The one that left the deepest impression may be Tokyo Fever...

Still I remember the sunrise I saw outside the Xining hotel window. At that time, I had to get up early to change the high-speed train from Xining to Lanzhou. What I saw before my eyes was the rising sun in May in the northwest, and there was a chill in the air.

The cold air is always so fresh, adding a taste of wine to my memories, stronger and more fragrant.

Memories are like wine, sometimes sweet, sometimes sour, sometimes intoxicating, sometimes charming.
