Exclusive interview with Curly Vian: Our youth is soft and strong

A few days ago, my circle of friends was flooded with a push by Wei An. In the push, she introduced the birth of her first personal essay collection "Our Youth, Soft and Hard". There are many People say it brought tears to their eyes, and I was one of them.

Everyone has a dream that they hide in their hearts and dare not reveal it to the public. Most dreams, after years of baptism, may eventually be so broken that even the scum can’t be seen. And one day, Someone suddenly tells you that she tried her best and finally realized that dream. This kind of stimulation is like someone's six Rendu meridians being opened up by someone's crooked blow, which makes people's blood boil.

An ambitious "tough boy", a talented "gentle girl"

Wei An comes from a city with beautiful mountains and rivers - Guilin, "Although this city is not the same as what I am doing now" It doesn’t have much to do with it, but I often reveal some thoughts about Guilin in my writing. This city may look like the best in the world to outsiders, but to me it feels very simple and comfortable. ” p>

Guilin is a small, not very developed, but very tolerant city. Wei An has loved hanging out at the English Corner since he was a child, listening to outsiders talk about their city. “Perhaps from that time on, he has been interested in so-called I begin to have a longing for the distance, and I want to go out and see the bigger world."

Weian said that her parents are both very ordinary and extraordinary people. She feels that she combines the advantages of both her father and her mother. “My father works hard, is rigorous and pursues perfection. Although She is a bit nagging but very reassuring in her work; my mother advocates petty bourgeoisie, likes romance, is not impatient when things happen, and is gentle and tolerant towards others.”

We all know that family atmosphere plays a vital role in a child's growth. Wei'an's father has high expectations for her since she was a child and will raise her as a boy, hoping that she will continue to grow up. Moving forward, her mother hopes that she will be healthy and happy throughout her life, be pampered, and do things she likes. Therefore, under the influence of her parents, Wei An's character has both a "hard" side and a "soft" side. side.

The words "soft" and "hard" seem to be contradictory but full of tension. "The same is true for young people. They are always conflicted and unstoppable. They have a tolerant and understanding attitude towards the things around them, but they do not Compromise with things that go against your heart, don’t blame or complain, even if you know the world is not perfect, you are still very pious about the future.”

Throughout my life, I want to become a charming and rich so-and-so

Wei An once set a direction for himself: "Throughout my life, I want to become a charming and rich so-and-so." , I very much agree with what she said, true "charming" is not just about people. A person's charm does not simply mean gaining the admiration of the opposite sex, but also includes the favor of the same sex, the kindness of strangers and the love of all things in the world. Favor.

Wei An started writing on the official account in the second half of 2015. In more than a year, she already has multiple labels: "contracted author", "Internet radio host", "freelance writer" "Contributor"...

If you put aside all the labels on her, she is also worthy of the word "charming". What is charming about her is that she will do her best for something she likes to do. , she once made a bold statement: "If I, Yin Weian, really want to do something, I will do it." And she did realize her dream of publishing a book 9 years ahead of schedule when she was 21 years old.

Her "charming" thing is that she likes to constantly challenge herself and try new things. She feels that a diverse life is more suitable for her. "Now she is a slash youth, and she hopes for a better life." I want to constantly polish my skills, and in the future I also want to be a slash-middle-aged, slash-old person."

I also have some thoughts, and I don't want to just follow the trend

"Always. I feel that I am lucky and always encounter opportunities, but I am always tortured by opportunities." People who are familiar with Wei An will know that the birth of her new book also went through many twists and turns. She has worried about this book and also been worried about it. This book made me cry. In the end, the naughty child of fate was finally willing to read this book seriously. "Destiny is always like this. It will show you a little light, then hide it, make you feel lost, drive you crazy, and then... Give you something sweet."

Many people may think that life is about "being with everything you like." Wei An also thought so before, but she now realizes that life should be about happily enjoying the things we like, and at the same time being able to Find joy in things you don’t enjoy so much.

"My current life is probably a mixture of happiness and sadness. On the one hand, I am happy for what I have obtained, but on the other hand, I tell myself not to be anxious and to be patient when faced with pressure."

Da Bing once wrote in his book: "Parallel world, diverse life, you can work from nine to five, or you can wander around the world." Wei An said that her ideal life should be one of willfulness and richness , very flexible and diversified. It does not mean that the more money, the better, or the higher the quality of food and clothing, the better. It is only experienced in the dimension of "rich and glamorous", but it is actually single.

“Of course I hope to earn more money while being financially independent, so that I can have more choices. I can live a life with a living expense of 2,000, or a life with a living expense of 20,000. It’s all about experience. It’s like there’s essentially no difference between eating glutinous rice and eating Michelin.”

At the end of the interview, Wei An told me that she had saved up money to buy a diamond ring for her mother. This was her short-term goal, and her long-term goal was to buy a car for her father, and then I have the capital to be free and unrestrained, so I can write happily and bring a bright and gentle feeling to readers.

"In short, it means enjoying the best and enduring the worst. Being able to experience different life situations at any time is the most ideal life."
