There are so many people in this world

A few days before New Year's Day in 2022, I suddenly received the news that a colleague around me passed away suddenly.

He has always been a model of hard work and has been involved in many important projects. We didn't have much contact at work. I just remember that I wrote overtime manuscripts during holidays before, and he was there almost every time.

Even on the last day, I felt uncomfortable while working overtime and went directly to the hospital from the company. I didn’t expect that it would be the last stop in my life.

Those who knew the news were not only heartbroken and regretful, but they were also keenly aware of the changes in their bodies, dug out the physical examination emails from a few months ago, and put them in their schedules;

Most of the people who don't know the news still come and go as usual every day, without realizing that a partner is missing from their side. Until the vacancy was quickly filled with a new person, everything disappeared without a trace, as if nothing had happened.

Only the family, for which he was always absent, was left, suffering the deepest brokenness, darkness and despair.

The book says that at the last moment of life, all the experiences in life will be played back as quickly as a movie. I'm not sure how he will feel when he looks back on this short life, whether there are still many things that he didn't have time to say and many things that he didn't have time to do, and whether he still has huge regrets and unwillingness.

Then we will also think about how we should live in order to live up to this life.

Recently I watched Aya's new show "Nice to Meet You". It is a slow variety show. In each episode, Zhou Xun and Aya go to different scenes to get to know some interesting ordinary people, to understand and Experience different lives and witness their love and growth.

Everyone will face difficulties in life, including social, career, generational, intimate relationships, pressure, and even life and death. But the most amazing thing is that almost everyone has their own unique way of solving problems.

Anjiu is a beautiful and cool girl, a true "star chaser" - a professional starry sky photographer. Carrying dozens of kilograms of photographic materials, I traveled to many inaccessible places: the Arctic, Ireland, Tenerife, the Canary Islands, Lake Wanaka in New Zealand, and Milos Island in Greece... along the way, I photographed stars and chased the Milky Way. Watching the sky looks romantic and poetic.

But photographing the starry sky is not just about sleeping under the stars. There will be many emergencies and dangers along the way, including being visited by various wild creatures, experiencing blizzards, and risking being hit by icicles.

"Stargazing is not an easy task. It requires the right time and place, and you also have to endure hardships. But when you are embraced by the stars, the shock and touch will make everything worthwhile."

The Wusu Chamber Choir is a professional chamber choir composed of a group of amateur music lovers. It has held seven themes, more than 50 concerts, and participated in the Asia International Chorus Festival.

During the day, they are primary school teachers, advertising media people, baristas, salespeople... At night, they gather together from all corners of the city, pick up music scores, and start their night.

Except for the group leader, everyone else’s jobs have almost nothing to do with music, and they have never even received professional vocal training. Singing is their favorite thing, although this kind of love seems to be no different from that of all ordinary music lovers. Perhaps the only difference is that they are willing to devote a little more time to this hobby.

In the eyes of people around them, the choir's work is somewhat unreliable, and its operations are always facing difficulties. Although they call themselves "secular people", I seem to be able to see a kind of romantic innocence in them, and this kind of romance can protect them, "protect you from recognizing the reality, and still have tenderness in your heart." Something.”

Not all idealism shines with those dazzling lights.

Hui Ge Shuicao escaped from city life and ran a B&B in an ancient village in the mountains. Behind his poetic life, the anxiety and pressure of operation cannot be concealed; he also walked into the mountains from Shenzhen and became a food connoisseur Ba Wenhan, a porter and porter, in addition to another kind of hardship different from the workplace, also faces a lot of uncertainty and the problem of work-family balance.

So how can we live a good life?

There is no standard answer.

But there must be different answers.

The so-called involution does not mean that everyone is in the same value evaluation system, with a highly single goal, a highly single evaluation mechanism, and a highly single competition method, thus becoming extremely homogeneous in culture and behavior. of copies.

Therefore, I have full admiration for those who bravely establish their own standards, maintain an independent and calm pace of growth, and carve out a runway suitable for themselves.

And there are so many people in this world who allow us to see another possible way of life.

On the first day of the new year in 2022, Sister Huohuo collects everyone’s New Year’s wishes in the “Huozhiya” community. It can be a sentence, a keyword or a goal. What I wrote is: Cherish Time, enjoy life and create more wonderful experiences.

I hope that in this life of no return, I can devote myself to it and live up to it.

There is no standard answer in life, and you always have the power to choose.
