Tell me about the city where I live. Come play and watch. .
The place where I live now is called Wangcheng, the hometown of Lei Feng. In the early years, it was a county near Changsha. Later, it was merged into Changsha and became a district. Many years ago, Wangcheng was vast and sparsely populated. It developed on the basis of several relocated military industrial enterprises. Now there are not many places where people gather. Compared with the large tracts of land here, there are really very few people living there.
The best thing to do is urban planning, spacious and straight roads, not too many cars, and the city's roads are horizontal and straight, all of which are neatly shaped. Since there is so much land, the government has on the one hand attracted investment on a large scale, on the other hand, it has built parks on a large scale, built pleasant paths around the lake, planted various trees, and built public toilets that are more beautiful than villas.
In the early years before I settled here, I went to the lake to watch the night view, and saw a building with neon lights on the opposite side of the lake. I thought it was the villa of the rich family, but it turned out to be a public toilet - this story I wrote a few years ago. mentioned in the essay. This public toilet is a bit old now, and when I think about it, it seems to be one of the reasons why I decided to settle here. Half a year ago, my wife and I went for a walk around another lake next door. This lake is bigger and has just been built. My wife pointed to a beautiful building by the lake and said, "If there is a chance in the future, we can contract it and do the work on it. into a studio or an art gallery…”
Why is it above, I looked at it carefully for a long time: ah, ah, it's such a place again...
If you come from Changsha by car, most of the places you pass are modern and desolate, with beautifully repaired communities one by one. The group of villas, which seemed isolated even though they were grouped together, were divided by large fields, orchards and construction sites. If a relatively lively street suddenly appears in front of you, it probably means that this is where the village was in the past.
There is also a beautiful commercial area like a small town. Most of the brands in the commercial area are world famous brands, and there are tens of thousands of handbags. Many brands are also discounted. There are restaurants and cinemas available. The only thing is that there are not many guests. My wife and I occasionally go there to watch a big-screen 3D movie, and eat a set meal for two that only costs dozens of dollars in a beautifully decorated Korean barbecue restaurant with only a few tables of guests. When I walked through the villa area where the selling price of the package was as low as more than 3,000 yuan per square meter, but there was no occupancy rate, I felt that the world was really wonderful.
This is a city that is growing too fast. In the early years, I used to stay up all night. The biggest problem with sleeping during the day was that there were always various sounds outside the window. Every day there were firecrackers and shops opened. Construction on the construction site, the building is capped, and the crackling is booming. In such a city, facing a straight road. One by one clearly marked fields, occasionally feel a little less people's breath, now only in the old streets with the most dense population in Wangcheng, near the old family area of the original military factory, you can find such a breath, relatively. The narrow streets and the roadside are full of old trees, and students come out of the campus one after another when school is over. Cars have to be restricted. The houses are like Japanese-style communities, with courtyard walls and yards. The old walls are covered with vines. When we first met my wife, we walked the dog here. From the courtyard walls, stupid dogs ran up and down, and there were electric motorcycles passing by.
Then one day the stupid dog was running around on the road and the car was killed. Unfortunately, I'm not very familiar with it yet.
I have a lot to say about the world and the opposite for life. The world is too simple and life is too complicated.
A few years ago, I first enjoyed listening to symphonies, Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D major, and until then I had not been able to understand the charm of this pure music, but one day—probably watching After watching the movie "Symphonic Life" - I suddenly fell in love with this song, and after listening to it many times, I started listening to some other songs.
During this repeated process, one day I suddenly realized that the symphony expresses the most complex emotions. Some people have experienced a lot of things, a lifetime of joys, sorrows, and even more than the joys, sorrows and sorrows. Complicated things - just like when you are old, one day recalling the past, everything in the past is no longer in the joys, sorrows, and joys. At this time, extract a fragment of your mood and make music. People with similar complex moods will resonate , it's such a complicated thing.
I don't know what the textbook explanation of the meaning of symphony is, but I think that all high-level arts, the corresponding emotions, may be such complicated things. It is difficult to describe various words. If it were to describe various words, it would take millions of words to make readers experience all that, describe vagueness, paintings, and extract that little inspiration, which might be more convenient. Of course, words also have places where words are convenient to express.
Maybe this kind of complicated thing is life.
For the world, let me say something.
Let's talk about piracy first. This is something that happened a few days ago. It should have been the theme of this birthday essay.
A few years ago, the reason for the ban on theft and theft, I won't go into detail.
Around the beginning of April, when I was still sweeping graves in my hometown, a young man named Wu Rongkui, an intern reporter in the southern city, suddenly approached me and said that he wanted to know the whole story of the Tieba piracy incident that happened a few years ago. I was outside at the time. After all kinds of delays, I was so tired that I told him to give him an answer after going back, but then the other party collected the information and sent some to me. I asked if it was true. I looked at it roughly and said it was true. Soon after, because of the arrival of World Copyright Day, news about the situation of piracy became the headline of the Southern Metropolis Daily.
When the news came out, I was busy with other things in Changsha. That day, reporter Wu Rongkui sent me a message. It was Baidu's reputation that it would rectify the contents of Tieba's stolen posts within 12 hours. How to answer, and then replied with a sentence: "Watch the follow-up, I don't know why, whenever it comes to piracy, I always feel that there will be a very ironic ending. But anyway, thank you for sending such a news. "
later. Of course, Baidu did not rectify it, they pretended to be rectified, and they canceled the pirated post and put it on the top. I told people, as a writer of essays. This is really an interesting result.
Then. There are pirates who show off their power. They come to my Weibo, or privately message me, or me, and show me a screenshot: "I stole your book again." This is also a very interesting thing, however, Compared to five or three years ago, there are really far fewer such people. They probably won't even think about it. As for the possibility that piracy can be eliminated within ten years, I don't have any expectations. They were stealing before, and they are stealing now. How much can I lose? They steal and post ten copies at a time, so am I making a dime less
But in those few days, I suddenly wanted to talk to some readers over the past few years, and say something very hypocritical.
Five years ago, the matter of my son-in-law's ban on theft and posting on the bar was scolded and boycotted by many people, three years ago. Baidu came out as a platform for stealing posts, and took the initiative to jump the link that entered the post bar to the post bar. After three years, they issued an apology and a statement of rectification. They did not rectify, but the trend is slowly improving. Although slowly.
Going back to five years ago, these people madly abused readers who supported the genuine edition, Jian Suyan, nt, every post bar owner, scolded outside, privately wrote scolding, saying that they violated their democratic rights. Baidu took action three years ago, and the readers in the bar appealed, but the final result was not good, and many people were very frustrated. Now, three years later, how many people have left here. In the past five years, because of reading a book, speaking out because of a trivial matter, and later because of abuse, because of depression, and even being dissipated from their enthusiasm, how many people are there
Every piece of innocence is resisting a piece of countercurrent in the world. In the past five years, in the small scope of the son-in-law and the small scope of the piracy, the trend has gradually changed for the better. Not because of me, but because of many people speaking. Although its changes are not as exciting as Li, most of the changes in the world are nothing more than this trend. Even so, that day I suddenly felt that it was a pity for those "naive" losses and the appearance of those frustrations.
Really want to let all the depressed people see such a change.
Five years have passed, and I don't see the possibility of piracy going away in the near future. It's funny that I don't hate piracy at all, five years ago or five years later - I'm definitely on the opposite side of it, I'm definitely in favor of genuine, but I don't hate it, I almost never Get angry at the existence of this kind of thing - we live in an era of rampant piracy, and a country and society that takes great advantage of piracy is really used to it. But I can't see a world where ugliness is beautiful and distortion is pride. I saw many such people appear a few years ago. Even now, if you go to a post called "Zuofu dt", you can also see see such a person.
My son-in-law has been writing for five years, and readers go and stay, and newcomers often appear. Recently, because of the reports in southern cities, the book review area has become popular for a while, and some readers have come to ask, the author actually swears? Will scold the mother-in-law. There are also some who deliberately pretend to be ignorant readers to ask pirated copies. Here's a confirmation, yes, that's how I curse people.
The matter started five years ago. When the husband-in-law Tieba started banning theft and posting five years ago, a large number of shameless people came out to defend their "rights". I am a person who likes to debate. Occasionally I have time to write books and participate in debates. I can write hundreds of thousands of words. Several things happened at that time, one of which was: someone posted a post, scolding a friend for killing the whole family, probably saying that you are not the author, so what qualifications do you have to come out and post against theft. I came out and said, I'm here now, can I ask you to kill the whole family. They took screenshots—just my words, of course—and went around saying that the author was swearing, as evidence that they were justified in seeing piracy.
The second thing is, at that time, a reader said that Banana is such a person, he didn't give me free reading books, and I always read you wrong, and then said that he burned all the pirated books I had bought all the time. Yes - he burned my pirated book, of course I haha, and then another screenshot, saying that bananas don't care about readers.
It's only recently that someone broke the news. It's very interesting. Although I have always heard that the update group is very arrogant, I have never seen it in the matter of the son-in-law's post. It was only recently that someone mentioned that it turned out to be a post about burning pirated books. It was deliberately made by the Breaking Dawn update team, they were deliberately trying to grab the son-in-law. In the end, it didn't work.
The third thing is that one day, after debating with a pirate supporter for a long time, this person suddenly said, of course, I know that what I said is illogical, and I just deliberately messed up. to waste your time. Ha ha ha ha. I thought at the time, yes, with such a simple logic, how can people with normal IQ really think that stealing posts is their interest? Breaking the logic of crooked, saying things like this, their purpose is nothing more than one, I want to see your piracy, and I have to be at ease.
Since. I don't argue at length, especially in these years, when writing takes more and more time. If someone takes some extremely simple question of right and wrong, and turns eighteen corners and finds out. My hospitality, that is, four words, my seriousness, can't be wasted on idiots and bad people.
The so-called quality, refers to a person's fineness, sensible, knowing right and wrong. Having a position and being able to persist, these things are qualities. No cursing, never.
I'm not angry about piracy, it exists everywhere, and I don't even expect that my book will be free from piracy within ten or twenty years, and then I will get great benefits. In the past few years, some people have asked me to speak for the prohibition of piracy, some I agreed, some I refused, that is not what I pursued.
Many of us think the world is very complicated: "If you want to defeat piracy, you should..." "This thing needs to be done by the state..." "The core of this matter lies in the state xxoo...", everyone Speaking of which, they are like leaders. I have experienced such times, but then one day I suddenly realized that the world does not work like this.
We - as each stated - are ordinary people, even, the power of each of us is one, and the upper layer with the decisive power, his influence, may be one hundred million. Suppose a leader wants to do something, he will listen to it, never say it, how to do it, he will only see people's awareness and urgency of this matter, if there are many people really Need this, he will add strength, and then, how to do it, that is the matter of the experts.
When I was young, I always wanted to change the world, thinking that if I found a certain key point, I could do something. It was only later that I realized that I was only one, one in 1.4 billion, and the changes in the world could only watch the "ones" pile up one by one. Piracy is not important, right and wrong are important.
Suppose there is a person who watches pirated copies. Today, the country or any organization knocks down a pirated website, and they silently go to the next one. Such a person has no moral deficiency. And when a country or any organization knocks down one, comes out and speaks, and uses various methods to demonstrate the correctness of the pirated copy, it must be a lack of morality.
In the next ten or twenty years, as long as you want to see, pirated websites may exist, but as long as you know that piracy is wrong, maybe in twenty years, our next generation will live in a society that respects intellectual property rights. And there is no hope for those who twist right and wrong just for one or two searches or the trouble of finding.
The world is of course complicated, but it is simple at the same time. Everyone's words, everyone's right or wrong, may not necessarily make the world better, but if you want to have the possibility of making it better, so-called, you can only make your own. One in 1.4 billion is put on it.
It's never exciting, and it's hard to make people impassioned, it's just our only way, magnifying the power of most people to the extreme, it's only one in 1.4 billion, we can't see the change clearly, but The world will surely count it.
I occasionally talk on Weibo and comment on some things, and some people say that bananas are going to become public officials. I post pictures or stories of my family life, and some readers come out and say, "It's good to post these, public officials dare not be." Some people say that it is not easy for bananas to persist for so many years. In fact, this and that are all what I want to say. I have never violated my heart, and there is no such thing as "easy".
I used to want to write a book because gorgeous words can make dull things generous and dull things vivid. I didn't expect to write an essay at the age of 31, and suddenly it became dull again. Because one day, looking back, the world is so simple. One hard work and one gain, there is no shortcut, seriousness will win, those surging stories in books and movies, unspeakable excitement, must start from step by step.
However, life is complicated, and those laws and principles are always beyond our expectations. When you are embarrassed, you can adapt to it, and one day, it will become a talk that you are proud of. In addition to contentment, it may occasionally feel empty. When I was a child, I was in my thirties in the blink of an eye.
At noon one day at the end of April, my wife and I went for a walk by the lake. The sun was very good, the wind was strong, it was warm, and the waves crashed against the lakeshore. My wife and I rested on the bench under the tree, not far ahead. A boat that the two girls stepped on was blown by the wind from time to time, and the two stepped on the lake again. I occasionally had a headache when I was writing a book, my wife asked me to lie down and press my head, I took my eyes, a group of children came from not far away, played noisily by the nearby lake for a while, and went further afield go.
My wife and I were talking non-stop. When we opened our eyes, the wind was blowing on our bodies, the sun was streaming down from the top of the tree, and it was blurry. The sound of people and wind was not noisy in the distance. I suddenly remembered the summer vacation when I was a teenager. I had just graduated from junior high school. I borrowed a full set of Sanmao Complete Works from a classmate's house and read books at home every day. At that time, I lived on the second floor of a house with my bed facing the big window. There is a toon tree outside the window. In addition, I can see a large sky with clouds. After I finished reading "Story of the Sahara", I lay on my bed and looked at the clouds outside. The wind was blowing lazily from the room. …
Since then, I have been exposed to complex things in society. When I saw a more complex world, throughout the 1920s, I worked hard to see all of this, see the laws of how society works, and see clearly what things are possible. is right. I've never had those moments where I can't think of anything in my head.
That's when I want to stop.
I can't tell you the feeling of that moment very well, I'll just record it first, and that's probably the most complicated thing in a symphony. A few years ago I would imitate Haruki Murakami and write sentences like this: "As long as xxxxxxx people may be saved." I don't understand them very well, but perhaps - even in such a chaotic and complex world - in the future At some point, we can still go back.
Don't be in a rush to damage yourself.
Sincerely, salute.
May 3, 2016. Angry Banana.
ps: Even if I once lived in a shithole, I don't want to work hard to become a shit beetle.
