Icelanders are happy because they are lonely.

The BBC discussed the true meaning of Icelandic happiness. From the financial crisis in Iceland, they found that the bankrupt Icelanders did not feel depressed, nor did they complain, but exuded a strange excitement.

Chinese mainland does not have a perfect personal bankruptcy mechanism, and Hong Kong can take it as a reference. After filing for bankruptcy, Hong Kong people can "take a long-term view" of their personal debts, but there is also the possibility that they may not be allowed to engage in the original industry because of bankruptcy.

For example, the former Central elite, whose career choices were limited after bankruptcy, probably got into a taxi ... Although there was work to be done, the gap was inevitably depressing, and the crowded people under Lion Rock could not "eliminate" the helpless loneliness, so they had to stand on their own feet.

Through interviews and understanding of Icelanders, BBC found that Iceland, an island country with poor resources and unfriendly climate, likes to hold a group to keep warm and is always ready to lend a helping hand to each other. Although the number is small, it looks isolated and lonely.

Anyone familiar with Icelandic culture or history knows that Icelanders have been driven from land to islands in the Arctic Circle since ancient times. Isolation and long winter nights have taught Icelanders to be optimistic about life, live together strongly and trust each other. ...

So when the bubble of the financial crisis was punctured, Icelanders felt that "things became clear", and the old economic system was full of loopholes, so they could learn lessons and start over, and their compatriots suffering from bankruptcy did not have to worry. There are always neighbors or friends to help.

A few years later, the shadow of the Icelandic crisis dissipated like the dust of the last volcanic eruption, and people from all over the world continued to travel here. They found that the scenery of this country is more amazing than advertisements, and they also experienced the warmth of Icelanders in saving people in trouble.

Apart from the weather, it is difficult to find a traveler who has been to Iceland to complain about the scenery and people here.

Trust, optimism, persistence-people with the same understanding will eventually come together. Even if they need to tide over difficulties, go through a long wait, or even feel a little narcissistic, they will eventually feel happy.

"Let's come together"

I also believe in the existence of parallel worlds. There must be a parallel world, I am traveling in Iceland at the moment, seeing the beauty of Iceland for me in this world and being with people who have the same understanding.

After living in northern Europe for more than 20 years, Duan Tao still can't photograph this place, especially Iceland.

Behind the beautiful photos, although there are boring and unpredictable conditions and the fatigue of waiting for light and shadow, when the time comes, pressing the shutter, the unspeakable happiness makes them feel that everything is worth it.

People who don't cling to these things can't understand their persistence like Duan Tao and Sun Bingyin. Some things are destined to be done with people who have the same understanding.

In mid-August, Duan Tao and Sun Bingyin will lead a team to Iceland again, and spend 13 days traveling around Iceland, going to some destinations hidden by photographers, such as shooting the colors of Landmannaluka and the tides of Bat Mountain. ...

△ Bat Mountain with realistic modeling and beautiful style

△ Diamond Beach "separated by a wall" from Jagushalon Glacier Lake

They will also focus on shooting several waterfalls, geothermal hot springs and lava caves according to their categories, and are recruiting partners in the same industry to share their many years of experience in Iceland and jointly complete an unforgettable trip to Iceland.

Optimism, tenacity and trust in each other are what I see in Duan Tao and Sun Bingyin, just like Icelanders who have experienced exclusion and loneliness, cold and desolation, crisis and loss. Are you the same?

The same is true of Iceland.
