Book excerpt of "Life is a Lonely Journey" (Jia Pingwa)

It took me half a year to finish reading this book. It may not be because the book is not good, but maybe I am not very interested in it.

There are also some interesting points in the book, which are listed here. As follows:

>> The mother's greatness lies not only in giving birth to a son of flesh and blood, but also in that she does not expect anything in return from her son. No matter how far away or how close the son is to her, she will always make her son feel affectionate. It has strength and roots. On the journey of life, mother is the gas station.

Just like what I recorded on Weibo that day, "I am suddenly at an age where I am very worried when my parents do something unusual. For example, this morning, my mother went to bed late and didn't get up yet. I panicked and thought When she was sick, she touched her forehead and asked what was wrong. For example, my father drank beer just now. I was worried that his body would not be able to bear it. Would one bottle be too much? It is because I have grown up, but it is also because they are getting older. ". We always ask for things from our parents, but suddenly we remember that they are getting old...

>> She doesn’t know the glory of my work, and she doesn’t give her the troubles and anguish of my work. Say

I am willing to enjoy the joys and sorrows of life with them? I just ask that time be gentler and gentler to them

>> I want to eat with acquaintances and enjoy the food I love. Eat more, eat less if you don’t like it, you can burp, you can fart, you can say funny things and scold your mother, can you do this with strangers

Every time you are with the person you like, you can always argue with each other comfortably , the joy is so low as to be in the dust, and there is no image at all

>> Everyone has a sad and miserable side. In fact, anyone, no matter what he does, is the same as us if you ask him to talk about his own affairs. The key lies in how you walk the road ahead

If you have not participated in other people's lives and don't know what others have experienced, don't make random comments. Faced with the conflict caused by everyone's different values, you should be grateful if you can give suggestions. Where to start with evaluation?

>> The mosquitoes on the summer night attacked him in turn. He was really irritable to the extreme, but he calmed down and thought: Can a little mosquito eat me? This mosquito may have bitten someone more knowledgeable. Then, this mosquito is also an intellectualized mosquito, and what it infects me must be knowledge.

Hahahahaha look at this interesting reverse thinking!

>> Photography is an art that can transform complexity into simplicity and reveal complexity in simplicity.

So I love photography. It is a joy of life. An alternative philosophy of life

>> "Sages are mediocre, adults be careful", I finally understood that the world will not easily make a person lonely, living in groups requires a kind of balance, and slander caused by jealousy , strangle, humiliate, attack and persecute, if you no longer stand out, you will be ordinary; if you continue to go, go, and finally make it impossible for living beings to catch up, they will cheer and worship you, respecting you as sacred. It is true loneliness.

Lonely people may not be excellent, but excellent people must be lonely. How can a fish know the happiness of a fish? It is difficult for people who walk into the future alone to accept pity and sympathy.

>> Looking at the scenery of people on the street is like reading a book of history or philosophy. From now on, when you look at problems and do things, you will not be so narrow-minded, your vision will not be so short-sighted, and you will not be petty. People will not be arrogant and depressed because of temporary honor and disgrace. They are born and die, gather and disperse. In just a few decades, they can be comfortable when they should be, and be cool when they should be. Let's each fulfill their own lives. This is the whole meaning of survival.

>> At that time, Fenglan was twenty-three years old, and Tan Xingguo was nine years older, and had a child. There was opposition from relatives. However, Fenglan didn't mind and decided they were destined to be a couple.

Moved by "Famous Role", the two came together by fate and knew each other and stayed together throughout their lives. Support whatever is in your heart, this is what a couple should do

>> Gao can bring about ease, and literature can bring about tranquility, more philosophy, more spirituality, and more fun.

> > Those who share the same spirit, the breeze comes out of their sleeves, the bright moon falls into their arms, they talk about literature and art, and their pens and ink are moistened. It is really like "the autistic peach land is said to be ancient, and I want to plant a big wooden pillar to grow into the sky"

>> Shaanxi. Many places in the north, including western China, are originally not suitable for human survival. Unfortunately, there are many Chinese people, so they have to live in places that are not suitable for human survival. This is fate, just like those things that grow in the cracks of rocks. Wild thorns. Planting crops on barren and thirsty land will inevitably result in poor harvests, so you can only plant widely. The harder it is for people to survive, the more they have to reproduce. The living environment has different survival experiences. Rock cracks. The wild thorns here have claw-like roots, are hard in texture, have few branches and leaves, and make a metallic trembling sound in the wind.

Just as the birth rate of the population in more developed areas is lower, I think it is mainly because firstly, the cost of reproducing offspring in developed areas is higher; secondly, the quality of life is not suitable for too many offspring; thirdly, the ideological concept has changed to having fewer children and eugenics. Furthermore, having more offspring makes oneself more confident. Fourthly, the social security system is getting better day by day. There are national guarantees for old-age care and end-of-life care. Fifthly, the medical level has developed. Infants and young children have a higher chance of survival. There is no need to resort to more production to ensure the survival rate of offspring
