The lights and traffic of the big city are really desirable, the bustling city life, the parties, the fascinating embroidered dresses, the swaying posture of the modern women, the mesmerizing eyes and the rose-like lip color is a different kind of scenery.
There, all the time is full of competition and opportunity, if you have the strength and ability, if you catch the good time, you can easily stand out from the crowd, you can spend a few years to prove themselves, to promote and raise wages, you can jump from this company to that company, to experience a different kind of work.
You don't have to worry about the warm-water-boiled-frog model sapping your fighting spirit and making you lose your love for life. You feel that your life is not a slog, that you are ordinary but can live an extraordinary life.
You can enjoy the most luxurious items enjoy the highest level of service, you can always fly around, from this city to that city, from this country to that country.
You can take a trip, the romance of Bali, the azure sky of Santorini in Greece, the hot springs resort in Japan, the sunshine of California and so on.
But you are unfortunately the one who is struggling in the big city, getting up a little earlier every day, grabbing a loaf of bread as you go, afraid that you will miss the bus or can't squeeze on the subway, afraid that you won't be able to catch up with the work schedule. You're alone or sharing a cheap rental room with a few people, counting the cost of property and utilities every month, how to save from your own meager salary, you can't afford to wear Chanel or buy Armani.
Your shirts are washed and old, your shoes are worn to the point of being dehiscent, and you only dare to pick those fruits that look similar to those that are not completely rotten, and you keep working hard, keep working, keep earning money, and keep saving money just to be able to send a little bit of money to your family.
Mom and Dad called to ask you how you are doing, you are happy on the phone to say that you are doing well, but hang up the phone, you squatted down and hugged yourself and cried, and you feel that you will soon be a person who can't go on, and you feel that you are really about to give up. You suddenly doubt their own persistence, doubt their own dream is not just a dream dream think.

He is in a small city, perhaps every day is lazy to go to work, drink tea and look at the newspaper, after work to see the news broadcast to help his wife pick up the beans pick pick up pick up green vegetables. Luckily when a small leader, write a small paper to evaluate the title but do not know what the format is, write the annual work report when haphazardly to the Internet to copy a name, change the name, change the time and place is also so past.
Young she may have found a not so good job, relying on their own beauty married a family of good people, married after the idle at home with children cooking, bad luck, her husband derailed, the child did not listen to their own has become a yellow face, from a gentle woman into an aggressive spiteful woman.
In the long river of time, forget to clean up their own, forget to maintain their own, in the long river of years only think of paying for the husband to pay for the child to pay, but forgot that women, no matter how many years old, are to love their own. Luckily, the birth of a son to please the in-laws, bad luck, the birth of a daughter all day by the mother-in-law dislike, nagged by the mother-in-law.

Some people say that it is good to be in a big city because you can find a job that suits you, and there are many choices. Some people say that small cities are good because they are not very competitive and the pace is not fast. In fact, no matter where you live, you need to work hard and need to struggle. There is no innate luck, only your unthinking heart and the courage to be afraid of failure.
My thesis advisor is a big boy in the northeast sunshine, the reason why I call him so, because he is not the old professor with glasses and white hair that you imagine. In this era of face, just his side face can kill you a girl heart, he looks especially like Tong Dawei in the "struggle", the kind of handsome is not like the flower beauty like tease the girl heart, but there is a different kind of clean and comfortable.
In order to facilitate the narrative, we call him Z Jun, in fact, I was not familiar with Z Jun at first, but heard before the schoolmates crazy crush on him also set his photo for the computer screen rumors, always feel that it is not empty. The first time I really saw Z Jun, he was invited to our class party, in the farmhouse, he played billiards posture is very skillful, looks and college students undoubtedly.
Later on, our thesis was divided into instructors, unexpectedly, I was actually assigned to Z Jun's thesis instructor group, my first reaction at that time was that it was over, I heard my classmates say that young thesis instructors have a lot of requirements, and some of them will scold you for crying, but I really can't think of a scene in which I was scolded by Z Jun for crying.
The truth is that Z is a patient and careful thesis advisor, including the sentence expression is not fluent will point out to you to let you correct and marked with a red pen, the other students in the group do not have confidence in his kind encouragement rather than just criticize. I've heard that he didn't do a particularly good job as a counselor, and I've also heard students say some bad things about Z. I'd rather believe what I've seen than what I've heard.
Besides, Z Jun first came to the university at first, began to serve, do counselor things will inevitably have omissions, after all, the counselor's work is more trivial, chores more, who has not been a care of this care of that situation. In the case of a newcomer to the workplace, who can guarantee that the newcomer to the workplace will not make any mistakes, I just think that the teacher's work also needs to be understood.
Z Jun, as the first master's degree student in calligraphy recruited by the School of Humanities, his calligraphy is naturally not bad, young and gentle, better than those who write a little old man. After adding WeChat to each other, I chatted with Z Jun and found that he is very interesting, not a teacher, like a big brother will give you some advice.
In his circle of friends, he goes cycling with his friends from time to time, or travels from Lijiang to Tibet, or else he takes photos of his own calligraphy works, and also takes photos of his activities with his students. Sometimes tea, sometimes writing poetry, sometimes incense, when it rains send a "I heard that rainy day music and lowercase more with Oh" dynamic.
After getting familiar with Z Jun, I realized that Z Jun gave up his job in Beijing and came to teach at a university in Yunnan, and sometimes I would inevitably ask, "Teacher, don't you want to go home? How often do you go home?" He would say yes, he goes home twice a year. I said that all work, it is not easy to go home twice a year.
I think of the phrase "a good man in all directions", Z Jun is one of the representatives, Z Jun said, he likes the current life because he can do more of their favorite things, if in Beijing, work life will be too busy, can do their favorite things not much this is also why came to this small town of the current reason! This is one of the reasons why I came to this small town. If I were to use a phrase to describe Z, I would say it would be "Poetry. Wei Feng. Qi Ao", "There is a bandit gentleman, such as cutting and polishing, such as faceting and grinding."
Mr. Z also reminds me of the saying that you have to believe that there are always people in this world who are living the life you want. Who says you can't live your life as a poem in a small city, who says having a stable job will kill your passion and fighting spirit, I believe that the real meaning of work is to live a better life, and Z is the best interpretation of this.

Like many young girls, I also aspire to the bustle of the big city, the colorfulness of the big city, and I also imagine the beauty of the poem and the distant land. But if I want to live, I still want to live in a small town, except that I am a child from the countryside, I prefer the human touch and leisurely time in small towns.
I like to live the most ordinary life in a small town, but pursuing extraordinary dreams, living every ordinary day into a poem, living life as a sparkling bead, a piece of warm and flawless jade.
If I live in a small town, I want to live like this wantonly:
No matter how bad life, encounter how bad things, we have to learn to face ourselves bravely, bravely solve problems instead of avoiding them, we do not close their own heart to feel the sunshine of every day, like sunflowers general sunrise, full of positive energy.
With the progress of science and technology, we eat more and more are greenhouse vegetables or genetically modified food, a lot of food is sprinkled with fertilizers sprayed with pesticides, we can rarely eat the farmers uncle personally planted natural greens, do not have to worry about eating will be sick or not enough nutrition.
Do-it-yourself to pick vegetables is a pleasant thing, you can feel the scenery of the field can be a good relaxation, but also feel the fun of cooking food, like to eat what dishes to do what dishes, feel the cooking of each step rather than just eat a fast food to pass themselves, hastily.
The modern fast-paced life, very few of us can watch the beauty of the natural night, listening to the crickets chirping, the city's brilliant lights also covered the beauty of the starry sky. If you are in the countryside, you can sit on the lawn, raise your head is the most beautiful moonlight and starlight, in the summer you can see the fireflies can see the lotus in the lotus field, pick one inserted in a vase, embellished with the cold silence of the home.
Especially like the countryside of the Spring Festival, especially lively, especially the flavor of the year, like to see the appearance of small children to discuss the New Year's Eve, like to help their parents to do the New Year's dinner to play hands, like to look at their parents look forward to their own and loved ones to go back to the joy of the appearance of the like to listen to the nagging of parents. I like to see my father and my lover drinking wine and playing boxing, I like the neighbors to come to visit, talk about the shortcomings of the family, can feel the most real taste of fireworks, feel the most simple and the warmth of the feelings.
Although we live in a small town, but as long as there is time, we can go out more, to see the lake and mountains to enjoy the beautiful scenery, to feel the history and culture of each place, human characteristics, food, etc., so that their lives become richer and more flavorful.
Whether it's writing, tea tasting, painting, flower arranging, photography, ball games, or cooking, I think we should stick to our hobby to make our world more colorful and our life more interesting. We can enjoy ourselves in the process and make more like-minded friends.
I believe that as long as we are willing to work hard and struggle, we can live a life we like and live recklessly.
