The "Beijing Ruins Exploration Group" on Douban now has more than 6,000 members. Some people once explored the drainage system somewhere in the Second Ring Road alone at night, while others formed a group to go deep into the Xiaosi bunker tunnel within the capital's defense circle system.

(The above are several ruins in Beijing . )

People who like ruins are not looking for that kind of "sadness" - to experience the naked sense of death that happens to others, and the melancholy of feeling lost.

Some people are obsessed with this heaviness that is almost masochistic and enjoy the discomfort of a dull heartache. This is a safe pessimism. After all, the position is far enough away and objective enough to realize the cruelty of reality without being too heartfelt.

More people who have ruin plots are actually avoiding anxiety.

Ruins are very similar to the "doomsday complex". We use real pictures to feel our own insignificance: houses will collapse, villages will move, or great or humble people will leave. The achievements we are proud of, including ourselves, will eventually turn into dust.

Such desperate and calm thoughts soothe our anxious hearts - we are forced to look at life on a scale of ten years, centuries or even millennia. This grand unit is in sharp contrast to the short life of an individual. , allowing us to calmly accept our identity anxiety of dissatisfaction with the status quo.

We are tired, difficult, and insignificant.

But life still needs to go on, everything rises and falls, and the end is often also the starting point, come on.

(A reminder: Exploring ruins is really cool, but you still have to "explore" rationally while ensuring safety and not violating laws and ethics.)
