My son is almost five years old. He has been fascinated by the subway since he saw it. Our family bought all kinds of train toys, and the rails can cover the living room.

He likes reading subway maps. First, I remembered the color of each line, and then I remembered many station names. One day, my wife asked me how to get to Jinjiang Paradise. He said, "Take Line 3 first." We think he is talking nonsense. He went on to say, "When you get to Shanghai Station, transfer to Line 1, and when you get to Shanghai South Station, transfer to Line 1." He put forward two plans, which shocked us. I want to try how deep he hides, and ask him to name all the stations on Line 3, and the result is no problem. I asked him how to get to other line stations, some of which are suburban stations, and he answered 60%. I was completely convinced. I didn't expect him to be so obsessed with the subway.

He always imagines the yellow rectangular object as the third line. We bought him a yellow transfiguration cube. He takes it everywhere and even sleeps. He always said it was his son.

Our home is close to Line 3. I took him from Chifeng Road Station to Shanghai South Railway Station at the weekend, and then I went back the same way. It's boring for me and the happiest thing for him. He likes to sit in the car. Every time he got off the bus, he stayed where he was and watched the driver get out of the cab. I thought he would say "hello, uncle driver", but he didn't. He just looked at the driver. The driver looked at him strangely. After the passengers got on and off, the driver pressed the close button and returned to the cab with a straight face. The son watched the subway leave until it was out of sight. The whole process is full of ritual.

My son likes talking. People often chat with him on the subway. When they found that he knew a lot, they asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up. Everyone is waiting to hear the answer to being an astronaut or a scientist, but the son says loudly, "Be a subway driver!" " "The adults all laughed, with some contempt, kindly told his son," If you want to be a pilot, it is good to fly a plane! "My son was very angry and said," I don't want to be a pilot, I want to be a subway driver! " "It has been staged several times. Adults think that being a pilot is a dream, but how can being a subway driver be a dream?

There is nothing wrong with the dream itself. Dreams are dreams because they are difficult to realize. Children born in poor areas say that their dream is to be a subway driver in the city when they grow up, so they won't feel anything wrong. Children who grow up in the city say that they want to be subway drivers when they grow up. Adults will feel that their goals are low and then try to correct them.

Adults think about what they can do in the future, while children think about what they like. One is utilitarianism, the other is idealism, and different ideas give different answers. People only care about what they like in childhood. Once you step into the society, your ideal is defeated by reality, and your hobby can only be sidelined.

My son has a dream. Do I? Did anyone tell his son not to be a subway driver but to be a pilot on the subway? To put it bluntly, it is realistic that there are classes and occupations in society, but are dreams expensive? A man with a dream is happy, and so is his son, but as he knows more, he is not happy. The more I know, the more I know the limitations, so I gave up my childhood dream.

Whenever my son meets the subway driver face to face, I always find the picture funny. The son looked at the driver in a pilgrimage, but the driver's face was written tired. Maybe their lives are as long and boring as subway tracks. I don't know whether I should tell my son the truth. Maybe in a few years, he won't have the idea now. Why not let him indulge in happiness and satisfaction for a while? Think back to how many goals and idols you have changed along the way. I wanted to be a painter when I was a child, and it took many years to realize that it was difficult to take the road of art. There was an art teacher in a rural primary school who quit his job to study art in the city, lived in the basement and ate boiled water dipped in steamed bread in order to be admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts. In junior high school, he and I studied painting in the same studio. He paints best and is the oldest, but he never passed the exam. Until the year I was admitted to the university, he was still applying to the Academy of Fine Arts. Now this man doesn't know where he is or whether he is out of his misery. And I didn't take this road in the end, and applied for a school of science and engineering.

A friend of mine graduated from a famous university and has a stable and decent job, which is between a well-off society and a middle class. I asked him if he was satisfied with his present life, and he said that he didn't like or hate repeating the same job every day. I asked him if he had a dream, and he said he hadn't thought about it for a long time. Work is just a tool for him to make a living, not a career. He gets along well with every colleague and suppresses his likes and dislikes. He is content with the status quo, but he also has hobbies, like photography and writing. Is it a good thing or a bad thing to live without competition from your thirties? What is the difference between peace and death? He hopes that this calm can last longer and he can have more time to do what he likes, but he also hopes that this calm will be broken and he will be assigned to an important position by his superiors to do some important things one day. He also dreamed of becoming a novelist, but it was only a naive dream.

I once saw a film review about Red Pig on the Internet: "Miyazaki Hayao explained himself like this: Every middle-aged man is a pig. The dreams he had when he was a child should have been realized long ago, and most of them will not be realized in this life. "

My friend is secular, and in order to make a living, he is engaged in a job he doesn't like; He is extraordinary, and there are things in his heart that have nothing to do with money, although it is a distant dream.

"I don't want to do this job, but I have to do it; I want to do it, but I can never do it. " Perhaps it is the living condition of most people in this era.

Stephen Chow has a line: If you don't have a dream, what's the difference with salted fish?

San Diego in The Old Man and the Sea didn't catch a fish for more than 80 days. He doesn't want to admit that he is old. His dream is to catch a big fish.

Yin Tianchou in king of comedy thinks about the dialogue and inner world of the characters every day. As long as he can act, he can eat box lunch for free. His dream is to be an actor.

In Sweet Honey, Li Xiaojun lives in a dirty and crowded room, works at the bottom of society, and gets a low salary. His dream is to take Xiao Ting to Hong Kong to get married.

These little people lost their dreams to reality, but in the end they realized their dreams in another way.

Santiago pulled back the marlin's bone, which proved that he was not an old and useless fisherman.

In the end, Yin Tianchou didn't regard him as the first hero of the film, but held a drama performance which was watched by thousands of people.

Li Xiaojun didn't end up with Xiao Ting, but he also found true love in Li Qiao.

Life is just a walk and see, stumbling all the way. If my son has time to enjoy the scenery on the road now, why should he hold his hand to speed up his pace?
