What do people live for? (Wake up!) ）
Balzac once said: "Life is a tragedy, and everyone is the protagonist." This sentence expresses the suffering and helplessness of life, which makes people feel a lot of emotion. What do people live for? It's an eternal topic and a difficult question to answer. Everyone has their own outlook on life and values, everyone has their own pursuits and ideals, and everyone has their own joys, sorrows, gains and losses. Do people live to be happy? Is it for success? Is it for love? Is it for yourself? Or for someone else? There may not be a definitive answer to these questions, or there may be an infinite number of answers. However, we can explore and think, seek and perceive, experience and enjoy, create and dedicate, and live our lives from different perspectives.
* "Alive" is Yu Hua's masterpiece, which tells the life of an ordinary farmer, Fugui, who has experienced countless disasters and sufferings such as war, revolution, famine, illness, death, etc., he has lost his parents, wife, children, property, health, etc., and he is only left with an old cow and a breath.

In his own way, he faced and endured, persevered and lived, loved and cared, helped and dedicated. His life, although it has no brilliance, has warmth, although it is not brilliant, but it has dignity, although it has no meaning, but it has value. His life allows us to see the brilliance of human nature, makes us feel the power of life, and makes us understand the meaning of life.
Xi Murong has a poem called "Farewell to Kangqiao", which has such a sentence: "Life is just like a dream, a butterfly who has a dream." This poem reveals the transience and impermanence of life, which makes people sigh and regret. Life is like a dream, it passes in the blink of an eye, we come to this world, we have to leave this world, we have experienced so many ups and downs, we have to abandon so many love and hatred, we have so much wealth and honor, and we have to lose so much health and family affection. Life is like a butterfly, beautiful and fragile, short and brilliant, we are in this world, flying, laughing, crying, pursuing, enjoying, suffering, and finally, we all have to turn into a wisp of smoke and disappear into the air. What can we do with this in life? We can only cherish the present, do not leave regrets, dare to pursue our dreams and love, live our own wonderful and unique, and let our lives have a little meaning and value.
There is a passage that says: "Life is like a cup of tea, either bitter for a lifetime or sweet for a lifetime, but bittersweet and bittersweet, and the taste is different for different people." This passage analyzes the desires and letting go of life, and points out that people are often trapped by desires and lose their freedom and happiness. Life is like a cup of tea, there are bitter and sweet, sour and spicy, light and rich, noble and ordinary, joy and sorrow, success and failure, gain and loss, life and death. Life is like this, we can't change, we can't choose, we can only accept, we can only adapt, we can only appreciate, we can only be grateful. Life is like a cup of tea, everyone has their own tastes, everyone has their own preferences, everyone has their own standards, everyone has their own judgment, everyone has their own attitude, everyone has their own way, everyone has their own life. Life is like this, we can't force it, we can't impose it, we can only respect, we can only understand, we can only tolerate, we can only be harmonious. Life is like a cup of tea, we must learn to let go, let go of the obsession in our hearts, let go of the distractions in our eyes, let go of the greed in our hands, let go of the vanity under our feet, let go of the past behind us, let go of the future in front of us, let go of our own desires, let go of other people's expectations, let go of everything, leaving only a calm heart, an indifferent feeling, a comfortable environment, a cup of fragrant tea. In this way, we can truly taste life, truly enjoy life, and truly live happily. There is a story about the Indian monkey catcher, which is about the monkey catcher who put some peanuts in the hole of the tree, and then made a small hole at the entrance of the hole so that the monkey could stick in, but when it was taken out, it would get stuck. In order to eat peanuts, the monkey put his hand in and grabbed the peanut, but he couldn't take it out and refused to let go, and finally the monkey man took it away. This story tells us that life is like a monkey catcher's peanut, if we refuse to let go, we will be trapped, we will lose our freedom, and we will lose our happiness. Confucius once said, "Those who are content are rich." This sentence tells us that life is like a monkey catcher's hole, if we know that we are satisfied, we can adapt to the hole, we can take out our hands, we can be free, and we can be happy. Life is like this, we must learn to let go, let go of all desires and attachments, let go of all worries and pains, let go of all burdens and pressures, let go of all strife and disputes, let go of all fears and pessimism, let go of all hypocrisy and illusions, and only keep a pure heart, a simple love, a peaceful state, and a refreshing cup of tea. In this way, we can truly taste life, truly enjoy life, and truly live happily.
There is a question on Zhihu that goes like this: "If you only had one day to live, what would you do?" Some people said that he would get together with family and friends, some people said that he would travel to see the scenery, some people said that he would do what he liked, some people said that he would confess his love, some people said that he would do something meaningful, some people said that he would indulge his desires, and some people said that he would go quietly and wait for death. These answers reflect different people's outlook on life and values, as well as their attitudes and choices towards life. Life is like a day's life, we don't know when it's going to end, we don't know when we're leaving, we don't know when we're going to say goodbye, we don't know when we're going to be gone. Life is like this, we can't, we can't control, we can only grasp, we can only cherish, we can only use, we can only fulfill. Life is like a day's life, we must learn to accept, accept the laws of life, accept the arrangement of life, accept the changes of life, accept the ups and downs of life, accept the joys and sorrows of life, accept the gains and losses of life, accept the beauty and ugliness of life, accept the perfection and defects of life, accept everything in life, and only retain a grateful heart, a satisfied feeling, an open-minded state, and a full life for a day. In this way, we can truly understand life, truly enjoy life, and truly live happily.
