Keep the ordinary in the grandeur
Wen Wang Jun. The torrent of the times, the vast soup, swept away in 2023.
At the junction of the old and the new, Zhexuan's "mediocre writing" and Southern Zhou's "Forty Not Confused" were published on the same day, which can be described as "fairy fighting" and "equal sharing", instantly becoming the top in the circle of friends, and it really stirred the minds of literary and artistic young people such as me.
Between these words, they are all filled with the magnificent narratives of the big era and the ordinary things of the little people, either touching the heavens and the earth, or full of emotion, constituting a huge picture of the development of this year.
The "Digital Torchbearer" lit up the Hangzhou Asian Games, the C919 large aircraft carried passengers straight into the blue sky, and the 17th God won the dream of the sky. We are honored as small individuals for the glory that will go down in history, and we are proud of the pride of our country.
Zibo barbecue" and "hitchhiker social" have long occupied hot searches, and various "conspicuous bags" frequently make people laugh, and "child brothers" from all over the world have repeatedly gone out of the circle, making this year's "dopamine" rise homeopathically. Young people, in their own unique and fresh way, rejoice in their own happiness.
Cai Lei, the former vice president of JD.com, invested in the scientific research of ALS and tried the medicine by himself, and the "ice-breaking journey" brought light to patients; The Oriental Selection Small Essay Incident made a lot of noise, and Dong Yuhui "never forgot his original intention" with his kindness and talent; Xie Qingshuai, a young man who returned home after 25 years of abduction, hugged his parents and sisters and cried, and the happy ending of the family of six was tearful. The different encounters and stories in the world are always pierced like fine needles, and ordinary people are moved by others with empathy.
Countless distant places, countless people, often related to me, and often related to me, and in this grand narrative set, we have also walked, worked hard, and left traces in our own one-third of an acre.
The past belongs to the past, and we only have the present and the future, which are worth planning, filling and cherishing.
In the big era, individuals are as small as bean mustard, and what they make is often just the "whisper of history", but Liang Xiaosheng's essay collection "Little People Walk Through the Big Era" tells us that the ups and downs of the little people's life are also vivid and valuable.
Therefore, for ordinary us, when 2024 comes, we earnestly tell ourselves that no matter how the times change, the important thing is to keep our hearts, integrate into the ordinary, and be self-consistent, self-existent, and self-reliant in our planned life unit.
Lead action with mindset. The mentality is good, all things are lovely, setbacks are good medicine, failure is also grinding, and you can accept all the gifts of life. If the mentality is not good, everything will be lost, and all the brilliance and beauty will become gray and malice. Before the age of 30, pursue "sensitivity", take care of everything and strive for perfection; After the age of thirty, he likes "blunt sensibility", which is a sharp soldier iron armor against the outside world and the rumors. Time is still long, I am still, not happy with things, not sad with myself.
Fight forgetfulness with records. The written record is the best way to fight against forgetfulness and resist loneliness, so that we can trace and reminisce about the places we have walked, and if we can touch one or two people outside of ourselves, it is enough to resonate. In every square inch, old wooden tables and chairs, a new page of paper spread out under a glimmer of light, and a pot of Chinese tea are brewed, which is heaven. Time does not wait for you and me, the pen does not stop plowing, planting fragrance.
Reach the other side with persistence. In the "small garden", only by "digging and digging" day after day can there be four seasons like spring. Stick to what your heart is truly passionate about and that is good for your body and mind, such as reading, exercising, and writing. Refuse to let dragonflies point to water, taste and stop, be sure to make a day and donate. What persists is growth. Time grows old, what to fear, swing the oar, and gradually go to the other side.
In 2023, the full stop has been drawn.
The past cannot be admonished, but the coming can still be chased. 2024, come on!
