Sanmao once said

By Ami HomesteadPublished 3 years ago 4 min read

There is a saying in the countryside: "You can't tell a loofah from a nut-pea beard." It is not clear, and why stick to this, self-growth, mature when you can distinguish between melons and beans. As long as the result, a moment of entanglement, what need to be afraid?

Sanmao once said: "If you bloom, the breeze comes." When the melon is ripe, what you want will come to you, but the premise is that you have to maintain your heart in prison, live out yourself in the intricate vine, whether it is melon or bean, Sanmao has an unruly heart since childhood, and other traditional girls are different, she is more yearning to drift. Although the fetters of the family and the shackles of traditional ideas have become the vines in her growth, she has also lived as she wants to look. She walked alone in the Sahara, let me understand: growth need not be afraid of entanglement. forever

If you get lost in the vine, you may die. Life is already difficult, plus family, communication, learning process of five more. Loofah vine and nuttie beard, the growth of impenetrable bondage is self-evident. We cannot deny also illegal resistance, in today's education system, loofah and meat beans have already lived into a shape, intertwined, indistinguishable. There is no doubt that getting lost in complex entanglements, or tearing off stems and leaves, has only one result, and that is death.

Does not tear off the stem and leaves mean forever trapped in bondage? No, we do not tear off the stems and leaves, is derived from rational judgment, in a specific period, under a specific system, to maintain the heart, in the intricate Wuteng "survival", and steadily move forward. When the time comes, the fruit will be ripe, so there is no need to worry.

Feng Zikai said in his Life without fear: "Not afraid of the future, not thinking about the past." So, all right." Life in the world, is destined to face a lot of troubles, rather than dwell on the past, rather live a good moment, strive to grow, as to what results, the future will give you a reply.

The truth of "luffa rattan and flesh-bean beard" is not only applicable to personal growth, but also has certain applicability to the transformation of society. The three views of the people condensed in flesh and blood, condensed in the millennium culture, although the unequal treatment, such as the recent Olympic Games outrageous favoritism, the spirit of the bone is still some, humility and perseverance, unnecessary external entangled, maintain the heart of the movement, and ultimately let the people stand firm, perhaps not the gold medal, but the shining human glory.

As long as it can bear fruit, bear good fruit, entanglement more, and why fear?

I once saw in an ordinary magazine a black and white photograph of Jiao Bo, a reporter for the People's Daily, posing as his son, of his parents living in the mountains of central Shandong Province. After reading the photo description next to it, I learned that Jiao Bo had taken pictures of his parents for more than 20 years, taking pictures of their daily lives, their "sleeping through legs", their husband singing and their wife following, their father trimming their toenails for their mother's little feet, and their mother scratching their back for their father... Two years ago, the National Art Museum of China held the only film exhibition that made people cry in these years - "My father and mother", and Jiao Bo's photos are still continuing. The photo was taken for Jiao Bo's parents this year when his mother was critically ill. On the bottom of the photo were two lines of small text: "On the 18th day of the first month, my mother was critically ill. My father bent down to take her temperature. How can a simple picture with two simple lines of explanation make people cry? Because it is between black and white that the most precious feelings in the world are contained.

To show love, photographers always want to find a beautiful woman, with a handsome lover, coupled with exaggerated expressions, or flowers under the moon, or streams, two love.

This picture of love, on the contrary, snow-white hair, old face, coarse cloth clothes, everything silently reflects the ordinary beauty, but it is also this ordinary beauty will be the true meaning of love manifested vividly: The white-haired father, leaning down, gently kissed the mother's forehead, in this cracked lips and wrinkled forehead contact the moment, love has been silent and true revealed out, the father's eyes in the photo is peaceful, looking at the sick mother for a long time. I can not see the expression of pain, sad tears, only see the real natural and harmonious beautiful. In a moment, this may be away from the metropolis only without any pollution of the emotion, the father to the sick mother told the promise of the next life, this is not the modern city of men and women, just two old people gently touch, but let me see the true meaning of love, love eternal.

The author did not write too much language under the photo, because the photo itself has a powerful appeal, it does not need language modification, too much discourse will only destroy the sincere emotion in the photo.

Photos only describe the real and natural moment, but it is this moment that brings people infinite reflection, from which I read the eternal truth, the value of the ordinary, the beauty of nature and the true meaning of love...
