Ocean (30th Birthday Essay)(2/2)
High-profile, it can reshape a person's outlook on life and truly leave the experience of predecessors to future generations...
I said some things, but I wasn't so organized at the time, and I'm afraid I couldn't see it in the news.
Science and technology will continue to develop. In science and technology, there is a difference between theoretical science and applied science. Theoretical science stands at the top. It does not make much money, but it can win the Nobel Prize. When they make breakthroughs, applied science - we
Everything in life can be derived.
The spirit will not develop significantly. The peak of the spirit, or the state infinitely close to the peak, appeared thousands of years ago. Confucius said: At seventy, one should follow the desires of the heart and not exceed the rules. This is such a thing. When we understand the world
Through many things in the world and understanding with the world, our spirit can be harmonized, no longer in pain, and we can be peaceful and happy, but not passive and numb. That is the pinnacle of the spirit, but in every era, the things we encounter are different.
For each person who only lives for a few decades, the way of weaving and shaping the three views for them may be different. There may be only a few who can finally reach this state, but in each generation, this may be the pinnacle of our pursuit.
.
There is also a culmination type in literature, which is theoretical literature. We explore the use of every brushwork, every novel way of writing, inspiring techniques, and the exploration of spiritual shaping. Such things can
Win the Mao Dun Literature Prize, or the Nobel Prize for Literature. Under this, applied literature, based on their foundation and inspiration, taps into its own spiritual depth, shapes it with words, and passes it on to others. Traditional literature and online literature are all here
Category, there are those who are highly thoughtful and thoughtful, but the research is too little. The people who explore the Internet and publish, but often lack of thinking.
This is already a big country with 1.4 billion people studying. We have experienced a lot of problems before. I used to be a person who tended to think publicly and longed for democracy. In the past two years, I have
I think, in the midst of such rapid development, to maintain this country and return to the second place in the world, from a historical perspective, this period of time may be an unimaginable era of prosperity. A certain part of my heart
I started to feel proud of this country, and some of the conditions have returned to the 50-cent position. At least part of it, we can be sure of it, and I still yearn for democracy, but my yearning for democracy has become more complicated. The people are incapable of autonomy, so what is the point?
democracy?
But no matter what, spiritual development is still at a low ebb.
Of course, there is an explanation for this. To correctly shape a person's three views, there is a set of methods. In ancient times, the Confucian method lasted for many years, and they had a lot of established experience - let's not talk about the final good results of Confucianism.
Bad, but to train someone into a certain state, their methods have been used for thousands of years - after the May Fourth Movement, we destroyed the framework, and a new framework cannot be established. How to train a person, there is no mature system.
Just like when I studied Lu Xun, I did see that some people are not good and there are bad people. Why did I point them out and I became the one with bad thoughts? Of course the teacher would say, I did it for your exams and
The future will be good, but if this happens, there will be problems in the process of shaping the spiritual system.
We often encounter all kinds of incompatible things in society.
We laugh at it and treat it as normal, but one day, these things will seep into the details of your spirit bit by bit. Once I was chatting with a friend on the plane. He was a rich man, but he said: "My most in one month, I have an income of 4.5 million, but I still feel unsettled. I can only make more money, but how much can I earn to be secure?"
Four and a half million a month is still not practical. For some people, this is a vain moan, right? Is it pretentious? But I think it must not be a question of money. He may not know it, but he can still only continue. make money.
No matter whether we are poor or rich, I think there must be some kind of shortcomings in our generation. We pursue something, but in the end, the things we pursue cannot comfort ourselves. Only at the end, we Feeling anxious and stressed about life.
I would like to attribute my own problems to the inability of the literary and spiritual circles in the past thirty years. In the best hope, the environment in which I live should give me a harmonious spirit, but I really cannot blame every one of them. As a person, I can’t even blame the literary circle, because our previous damage was so great. But if we put it here, when the traditional literary circle continues to be barren and shrinking, and the truths they preach are increasingly unable to impress people, we can only say "Some people persisted" and "tried their best". How to account for the sacrifices of the next generation?
Since we have so many good things, why not study on our own, study entertainment, study delivery, and try to infect as many people as possible without compromising?
Some time ago, I don’t know whether Tsinghua University or Peking University, a professor who studies Internet literature led students to post articles on the website. After a period of time, they only received a few hundred clicks. It was commonly known as the buzz. They were very surprised. Some press releases showed "I can't." "Write low-level things like online articles well" - of course, this may not be the performance of the students themselves, and press releases may also stir up trouble. But their basic attitude is wrong in the first place. If universities can sincerely combine entertainment and Connotation is regarded as literary factors accounting for 50% of the importance - I am talking about sincere propaganda. Perhaps in less than ten years, the current Internet literary circle will no longer exist.
However, for people in the upper class, this is a dangerous thing. It may be common to stand on the side of entertainment or on the side of connotation. Only those who stand on the mean side may be the most common. Easily vulnerable.
However, this is a society of 1.4 billion people, and 1.4 billion people are mentally poor. People laugh at housewives for watching soap operas, but never take the initiative to change her - thinking that this cannot be done. People with high spiritual levels are aloof, as if waiting Is it possible that one day these housewives suddenly like their things? After people leave school, there is no compulsion to study. People can live a lifetime of mental poverty, but one day they suddenly feel that something is missing. , the world has just changed for the worse, on the other hand, even schools have almost zero compulsion to shape people’s spirits.
How much appeal do the moral articles in textbooks have to convince today's students? One day I helped a friend read a paper (the friend is not the author), and one of the paragraphs is as follows (you don't need to read it carefully):
"Higher education is at the top of education and plays a guiding role. The scale and level of a country's higher education development often become a symbol of the scale and level of the country's educational development. It is also a symbol of the country's science, technology, civilization and comprehensive national strength.
.The material civilization of a country depends critically on the level of science and technology in the country. Similarly, the level of science and technology in a country crucially depends on the scale and level of the country’s educational development, especially the scale and level of higher education. Therefore, improving the country’s higher education
The quality and level of education…”
I’m not going to say that there are big problems with this article, but there is one thing that really concerns me. This may be just the author’s negligence, but... where is the spiritual civilization? When we talk about higher education, why do we focus on material civilization?
, spiritual civilization is not mentioned at all?
It would be too much for me to overgeneralize with a paper like this. But one thing is actually obvious: the impact of higher education on spiritual civilization... is not as high as we think.
My friend studied a subject related to education. When I talked about this with him, I said that our education is probably facing the biggest problem in history. The popularization of knowledge has not actually led to the improvement of people's education level.
Because in ancient times, the word education was to shape the outlook on life and teach children how to behave. Nowadays, the proliferation of knowledge has led to the disappearance of authority. If a ten-year-old child says a second grade sentence and puts it on the Internet, it will
Ten thousand people who are equally average come over and huddle together for warmth. When authority disappears, correctness also disappears. Any ideas a person has while growing up will not be given a chance to be revised. With a different point of view, where do people want to sit?
Just sit wherever you go, without thinking, there must be 10,000 people sitting with you. What will happen to such a person when he grows up?
And the second half of my growth was also like this.
Schools can only impart knowledge. Without the power to shape the outlook on life, society will be even less powerful. The speculations and experiences that could have been used to shape people are suspended at the highest level. Why can't they be added as part of entertainment and put aside?
Come down, just like adding bait, to attract people?
So later on, I no longer wanted to be such a traditional writer. I still admired those who studied theory very much. But in other directions, I thought that the direction of my life could be decided here, so I
Be a kitsch internet writer for the rest of your life and do this thankless job of combining exploration...
If thirty years later, someone says that my spirit has been shaped like this by the world, you are responsible. I can only say that as one in 1.4 billion, as a writer who wants to learn from Lu Xun
, I also tried my best.
After talking about such a long pile of nonsense, many people are going to be annoyed, or are already annoyed. But no matter what, I am thirty years old, and these things that may be middle-class, silly, or whimsical are the reasons why I have become the root of my thinking.
, is something I want to keep at the age of thirty.
Back to original.
I am thirty years old, and my life has been good and bad. I still live in that small town. I write books, and I often rack my brains and get stuck. But because of the tolerance and support of my book friends, my life is still passable. My health does not count.
Well, I occasionally suffer from insomnia and toss and turn. If I am in the Cavern stage, my life will often lose its order due to anxiety. The house prices in the town are not high. I saved a lot of money and bought a house by the lake a month ago.
The building overlooks the beautiful scenery. After a year of moving in, my brother will no longer have to sleep on the original balcony at home.
I occasionally go out for a walk, and if the numbers are correct, I can also run and exercise. Sometimes I have one or two friends, sometimes not. My most common pastime is to go to the cinema alone to watch the newly released blockbuster movies. Although it is open in
The busiest pedestrian street in the town, but the movie theaters are often reserved. Fortunately, I have no interest in horror movies. Since the entire life circle is only within a fifteen-minute walk, I can’t drive yet, and I don’t plan to learn to drive or buy a car.
Okay, so be it.
I often can't be sincere to my friends because I have too many thoughts in my mind and use my brain too much. I often forget that someone called me to wish me a happy birthday today. It's someone I've talked to many times.
I didn't save his phone number, and I forgot his name. This may not be the first time this happens. Sometimes I say hello when I meet for the first time, and then when I go out to meet him, I ask again: "Who are you?" It's often embarrassing, and every time I feel it,
Therefore, I think the most sincere way is to make fewer friends, so I have to narrow my life circle. If you are my friend, please forgive me.
Of course, there are also friends with stronger relationships. Sometimes we go out to travel together to relax and unwind, but we never rush to see the attractions. We don’t want to be in a hurry.
In this way, it seems to be all my life.
Compared with the time when I grew up playing in the mud and breathing the smoke from the cement factory, many things are getting better. I often miss and think of the ruined life and the bad habits I developed in extreme and paranoid ways.
, but nothing can be changed.
So, instead of sighing, just look at yourself and feel sorry for yourself...
It's better to do something.
Sincerely
——
salute
