How are those unreliable young artists doing?

Uncle Wang is a drummer, and his daughter-in-law Han Xiao is a freelance photographer.

Two years ago, their family of four lived in Wangjing, a small two-bedroom apartment with convenient transportation, and the family of four was happy. Neither rich nor poor. In order to improve his life, he occasionally engages in interior design, and uncle Wang also teaches children to play drums part-time in the community.

The sudden increase in family income comes from Han Xiao's success in losing weight. Weight 167 kg, she used it for more than a year and lost half. Running and strength training every morning finally achieved a weight of more than 90 kilograms. It was just to challenge myself. I thought that the bits and pieces of Weibo actually merged into an inspirational story. After being sought after by many fans, they have a third job-holding training classes and taking students online to lose weight.

In 20 15, Uncle Wang sold Wangjing's house and moved to a villa in Shunyi, although his children were far from school. But after all, the couple's pursuit of literary life has been realized. Their present home is also a studio for two people.

There are two floors above ground and one underground. The basement is an open kitchen, fitness workshop and musical instrument learning corner. On the other side of the gym, there is also a climbing effect wall.

Uncle Wang once joked with me: I never thought about divorcing Han Xiao. Think about it, he is so hard on himself. How hard will she be on me if I divorce her?

Mr. Zhang also has a great friend named Heaven. I came out to work before I finished college. I worked as a clerk in the IT industry for two years and as an administrator in state-owned enterprises for two years. A few years later, I found that I still have a soft spot for art design. So, from scratch, self-taught, became an interior designer.

She rented a three-story building in the suburb of Fengxian, Shanghai. It took a year and a half to build a people's hostel. A vegetable field, a group of cats, dogs and ducks, paradise in fast-paced Shanghai, abruptly found the leisure of Dali people.

God told me that I wanted to open a design room, do some menial work, satisfy food and clothing, and then live quietly in the suburbs. At the thought of rural life, urban youth get excited. She not only found a life here, but also made her own design career.

B&B's house is full every weekend. From Monday to Friday, the demand for various commercial venues is also full. More importantly, this house has become a business card of heaven, and more and more people come to her for villa design.

When it comes to career choice, Tiandao said: Life lies in tossing, and I have been looking for my own way of life. No matter how fast the pace of the city is and how stressful it is. Young artists can always find their own elegance.

Compared with the literary youth like Tiandao, the escape of Big C is somewhat tragic. On the day of engagement, she fled to Paris with her luggage and disappeared from the scene.

Several years later, she suddenly came back to our sight, bringing back a French husband and two lovely sons.

Big C said that the engagement was arranged by her parents, and she didn't feel, think or participate in the whole process. On the day of engagement, when the son-in-law chosen by her parents was haggling over the name of the room, she looked at each other. Find a chance to bypass the crowd, pack your bags and go straight to the airport.

Talking about the "elopement" that year, she said it was the bravest time in her life.

In the eyes of many parents, a daughter in her thirties is not married, even if she is smashed. So there was forced marriage. In the blind date market, the potential cost of getting married for the sake of getting married is self-evident. An apple wants to marry, a pear wants to hate to marry, and both sides are calculating on the balance. Some people choose to compromise, others choose to stand up and resist.

After Big C escaped from marriage, Grandma was so angry that she was admitted to the hospital. The man who has sent the wedding invitation is very dissatisfied and claims100000 yuan from her parents on the grounds of reputation loss. Parents have accumulated grievances for many years, but now Big C has a happiness for the rest of his life.

Big C said it was difficult to study in Paris. A stranger who doesn't speak the language. There's not even a bathroom in the cheap attic. The creaking old stairs often make her miss the big houses in Beijing. But she won't go back to Beijing because those blind date arrangements are a nightmare for her. Compared with Beijing's material wealth, she enjoys poverty, loneliness and freedom in Paris.

……

So-and-so once said that the ultimate value of life lies in awakening and thinking, not just survival. Therefore, we can see these vivid lives and see them constantly tossing in the whirlpool of life until we find our own life posture.

The result of material richness is to let people return to the true colors of life. Uncle Wang, Heaven and Big C are all self-centered. What they pursue is not the leisure of literature, but the truth of life. They can not only break free from the cracks in existence, but also escape from the cage of matter. The life they get is not necessarily the best, but it must be what they want.

Two months ago, I went to Shanghai. Heaven will pick me up. I said, why did you buy a Baojun 3 10? She said: Because it suits me! Look at this Fu-shaped knob+pick, it is very convenient for me to use, and the shape is fashionable and concise enough to meet my aesthetic. Most importantly, it only needs 50 thousand yuan. In the market, it is difficult to find a car with such a high cost performance.

I said: Will it be cheaper?

She scolded me: you are still a local tyrant! Cars are used for transportation, and what suits you is the best. This car can meet all my needs. Why should I spend a lot of money to buy another car?

Yes, what suits you is the best. What young artists strive for is not wealth, but a kind of truth after vanity is removed.
