If you had to choose, would you like to go back to the countryside to live?
If it's just a vacation, then everyone will naturally say yes without hesitation. Of course you do, to enjoy the beauty of nature, to breathe in the fresh air, to feel the starry sky......It's beautiful just thinking about it. Especially compared to the hectic city life, our hearts are full of yearning for a leisurely country life.
But if you go back to the countryside – it's a different story. This means that we have to stay in the countryside all year round, sowing seeds in the spring, weeding in the summer, harvesting in the fall, resting in the winter, and being away from the hustle and bustle of the city also means enduring the loneliness of the countryside.
Imagine that nine o'clock at night is the busiest time in the city, but what about the countryside?It was pitch black, and only the sound of wind and insects could be heard.
In this case, when I saw Ms. Jiang Liying's "I Borrowed a Room on Sun Island", I felt particularly admired, and admired that she really carried a hoe and lived on Sun Island.
The content of the book is very simple, like Ms. Jiang's diary, recording the life on the island one by one and presenting it to everyone. Spring is to feel the recovery of all things, summer is to open a can of cold beer, autumn is to plant flowers and vegetables, winter is finally to be idle, at home to read a book, the cold wind outside the house is biting, the house is warm like spring.
In the process of reading a book, it is easy to be infected by the author's calmness, even if life is still busy, as long as you open the book, your heart will be restored.
Ten years ago, I would definitely not have been able to read such prose, I didn't think it was interesting, but ten years later, I read it with relish, even the simplest words, can quickly sketch the corresponding picture in my mind, maybe this is the magic of time.
In fact, no matter where you are, as long as you have a heart that loves life, you can find your own "paradise". I may not be able to go to Sun Island in my lifetime, but no matter where I am, I can borrow a room to warm my house.
