Li Qinglan was once the earliest group of college students to study computer in China, he worked in Shanghai for 18 years, working overtime every day desperately, and finally became a technical expert, house and income, can be described as a winner in life.
But under the long-term high pressure, he also tired out a occupational disease. So he started to get tired of the city life a few years ago, and longed to go to a place with beautiful scenery, raise a few chickens and ducks, put a few lambs, and live a life of sunrise and sunset.
In 2020, he really realized this wish, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to contract a 30-acre farm, and the daily task is to plant vegetables, herding, and send a circle of friends to record life. Some friends who earn millions of dollars a year will even drive hundreds of kilometers to help him do farm work for free, and a day of simple labor and a stinky sweat seems to have become a kind of enjoyment.
Many of his friends may think it's a shame that he has to give up farming in the countryside when he could have a good job in Shanghai, which is what many people dream of, but it's a big mistake to do so. But I think this is exactly a kind of open-minded attitude.
Because he chose to live a free life, freedom is a fascinating word. Some people say: if you are not free, do not prefer to die. The famous Hungarian poet, Beethoven, once wrote such a popular poem: life is precious, love is more expensive. If you want to be free, you can throw away both! Freedom is the highest state, the greatest ideal of all creatures.
The pace of life in modern society is really getting faster and faster, so fast that it is easy for us to lose ourselves. We are in constant anxiety, anxious about our promotion and salary increase, anxious about our children's education, anxious about the continuously rising house prices? Constant anxiety gives us too much pressure, making us have to ?996?, ?5+2?, ? day and night? , becoming a desperate survivor.
But I think, we can't always keep our heads down to catch up with the road, we also need to look up at the sky more often, otherwise life is very easy to be blind, the value of life is by no means just about money and survival, we also need to live a poetic and free life.
Learning to enjoy life is the best realm of life. Busy to find the fun of life; chewing slowly taste the delicious food for the day; parents slang short banter drama life's sweet and sour; sipping tea and drinking alone to enjoy the tranquility of time; call friends to gather a pot of old wine so that the sun and moon surging; a book, a small poem, a small dye, a short article, a song, point to read the WeChat, brush screen interesting article? A good feeling of coziness and joy; loose life, sprinkled with joy in the square dance. As long as we can find, life is beautiful everywhere.
So life's highest living method, not a family fortune, not a luxury car, villa, but to cultivate a calm, happy, relaxed, let fly heart.
