Mo Yan: After middle age, there is a circle, find some fun, and be a fool

Author: Insight · Annabe Su

Leave three points of stupidity and save a lot of heart.

In an interview with reporters, Mo Yan said such a sentence:

If you want to have a happy and comfortable life, you must let yourself have a "circle", find some "music", and be a "fool".

After middle age, what you want to grasp yourself, and the life you want to live is complete.

There are three or two confidants, which are a little naive and look confused to the world to wake up life.

01

There is a circle: It's the best health with people with the same frequency. The writer's simple frame, who said at the year of standing, said that people who did not know after the age of thirty did not want to know it anymore.

After half a journey, we do not like to chase the liveliness on the surface, but learn to screen our circles and get along with those who come together.

Mo Yan rarely accepts interviews and does not like to attend industry gatherings, but he is happy to stay with his friends.

In the early years, he and Yu Hua wrote their own stories in the dormitory of the writer's study class of the Beijing Normal University. Both could not write anymore.

Later, the two gave speeches in Italy. Yu Hua teased that he wrote to be lazy. Mo Yan also laughed that he wrote an article to buy leather shoes.

After speaking, the two couldn't help but laughed after stepped down.

On the other hand, the two and Shi Tiesheng went to Shenyang to play with the students. They lost their heads first. Later, they simply asked Shi Tiesheng to go to the door.

Due to the courtesy of the students, they did not dare to play in an instant. The remaining people and Mo Yan scored a goal in the students' goals.

After the event, several people hooked their shoulders and found a place to drink.

These cute and interesting friends add a lot of colors to Mo Yan's life.

Zhou Guoping once said: "Some people in this world can feel a kind of tacit understanding when they meet, and spend a pleasant time together. They are friends in my mind."

Finding your own circle, with the same person as the magnetic field, is the best health.

In the 1930s, there was a "wife's living room" in an alley in Dongcheng, Beijing.

Poet Xu Zhimo, philosopher Jin Yuelin, artist Zhu Guangqian, writer Shen Congwen, etc., are regular guests here.

Although they are in different industries, they have common hobbies and pursuits.

Every Saturday afternoon, they gather together in three or three, talk about the situation, exchange academics, or simply do nothing, closed their eyes closed.

When everyone comes, they may leave with doubts, or with exhaustion, and after talking about it, they all leave with satisfaction.

For them, this space is the habitat of the soul and a spiritual placebo.

There is a saying that if you want to live a comfortable life, you must live in the crowd.

Half of my life has passed, knowing that it is scattered.

But those friends who are the same frequency are your sadness and your pursuit.

They are like a bright moon in the sky, light and clear, and they are enough to brush the vulgar dust and light up the light in your heart.

Find some fun: a little interest is enough to comfort the wind and dust. Zhu Guang's potentially "Talking Rest" wrote: "People need to be interesting to have vitality.

Shengqu is the happiness appreciated in life, and vitality is the power required for life to carry forward. "

When people reach middle age, they are exhausted by Chai Mi oil and salt, and their minds are also occupied by trivial matters.

In addition to the weight, you always find some aspirations, so that there will be a surplus space to place your soul.

As a writer, Mo Yan is of course obsessed with reading.

When he was 12 years old, he dropped out of school to work in the production team. In addition to leisure, he often hid in the haystack and opened the book to read. It was indulged in the bite of the mosquito and it didn't care.

Later, under the teachings of his father, he became obsessed with calligraphy.

Although the skills are not very familiar, the moment of splashing ink splashing, the depression in my heart was discharged.

For a little older, he also opened a public account and discussed the topic of hot heads with young people, and studied the usage of various buzzwords.

Zhou Zuoren wrote in "Beijing's Tea Food": "We should have a little useless game and enjoyment in addition to what we must daily, and life becomes interesting."

In the first half of our lives, we kept walking and walked far away. In the second half, we must learn to stop appropriately and find a place for the spirit.

If you like to be quiet, sit down and silent in the world of words, experience the sadness and joy of the people in the book;

If you like flowers and plants, do you work, water and fertilize, and feel the vitality of the plant;

If you like food, wash your hands and make soup. In the scent of fragrance, you can appreciate the grace of life.

I like this sentence very much: "The true meaning of life is never in the grand narrative, but in the feelings of the end of the branch."

Instead of panicked, it is better to stop occasionally, find a little hobby, and take good care of your soul.

When you are free, you can watch the clouds of Yun Shu, and listen to the birds and ying of the birds.

Be a fool: happiness, often hidden in confusion. Some people say that life is nothing more than two things: busy, soberly do things; idle, confused.

In this life, he is not as good as the eighth nine. It is more true. If you are tired, you should be confused when you are confused.

When I was working at the newspaper in the early years, I met a senior. I was not young, but I always had no heart and lungs like my children.

He never greeted him, always looking at the world.

He was scolded by the leader, he smiled, and returned to the workshop if he continued to work nothing; he was thrown by his colleagues and criticized the customer with a meal, and he never went to his heart.

Others laughed at him stupidly, but he said seriously, "It's just a little thing, it is not worth getting angry at all."

I used to not understand his approach and felt that he was weak. When I also walked through the gunfire of the society, I found that the attitude of the predecessors was calm given by years.

In life, if you have to compete for everything and ask, it is easy to be unhappy.

Many times, people who are more confused are more relaxed than smart, and they know how to "pretend to be stupid".

Mo Yan once said in multiple public places that he is a less smart person. The way he treats people is always a little stupid.

Take a taxi, he is afraid that others will feel that the schedule is short and unhappy. As soon as he gets on the bus, he will hand the master's expensive Chinese smoke.

The publisher owed him the manuscript fee, and he waved his hand and said, "Let's get together next time."

The views of others, the rumors of the outside world, ignored it.

In this stupid "thickness", there is actually a clever philosophy of Gaoming.

Shakespeare once said that instead of being a stupid person, it is better to be a smart and stupid person.

The baht must be compared, but the mediocre people are disturbed;

Be a happy "fool", confused and slow.

In this way, you can not be tired of your heart, not to trap your heart, and find the real calmness in your heart.

After half a lifetime, I suddenly understand that the most rare thing in the world is to leave a three -pointer and save a vegetarian heart.

Like a praise, for the rest of your life, one book, one tea, one, do what you like to do, and to accompany the worthy people.
