When you are old, do you want to live in seclusion in the depths of the mountains?

To be honest: I don't want to. I have also been to some places, staying in mountain homestays, with green mountains and green waters, fresh air and vegetables in vegetable fields. But a short stay is ok, and long-term seclusion has never occurred to me.

First, influenced by the living environment since childhood. My hometown is located in the hilly area, with undulating terrain and small slope. Although it is not as Ma Pingchuan as the plain, it has a wide field of vision and fertile land. It is like a green bonsai in summer and a golden carpet in autumn.

Later, because of my work, I have been to the depths of the mountains in Shaanxi, Hubei and Yunnan. When I went out, it was already a valley in the mountains, and the clouds in the mid-levels were filled.

Especially in Yunnan, there are mountains everywhere, and the eyes seem to be blocked by green barriers. I seem to hear the caravan bells of the ancient tea-horse road in the mountains. Although the concentration of negative oxygen ions is high, I feel depressed and have an impulse to escape from the mountains. So I have had such a life experience and don't want to choose to live in the mountains again.

Second, life in the mountains is inconvenient. After retirement, I get older and worse. I have a headache, a fever and a cold. I need to go to the nearest hospital pharmacy for medical consultation. Stay in the mountains, there is no such medical resources. In addition, it is not convenient to buy daily necessities, and the courier brother can't send it. It is also more troublesome to drive to buy at any time.

The most convenient thing is to go out and have a big supermarket with all kinds of daily necessities. Staying in the mountains obviously can't meet such conditions.

Third, it is hidden in the city. Dong Fangshuo, an outstanding talent in the Han Dynasty, once said, "The great hidden in the city, the middle hidden in the dynasty and the small hidden in the wild.". Seclusion in the mountains is at best a little seclusion.

Be a real hermit, even in the city. In your own home, once the door is closed, you can become your own world. Suzhou, where the city is located, is not too fast-paced, but also livable, with rich cultural and natural landscapes. There are many original ecological parks and botanical gardens around, which are open for free all the year round, which can relax and nourish the soul.

Fourth, short experience is feasible. It's better to listen to the scenery than to see it. Many places can be visited briefly, but staying for a long time is boring. "I lived in Lan Zhi's room for a long time and didn't smell its fragrance" is the same. Living in a foreign country is also from one's own place to another, so life lies in constantly experiencing and trying new things. Thoreau lived alone in Walden Lake, spent two years writing Walden Lake, and later returned to city life.

Man is a gregarious animal. Isn't it nice to live in the world of mortals, keep your own independent thoughts and soul, change yourself without deliberately pleasing others, and enjoy all the conveniences of life?
