The Nature of Humanity: Like Ants, Yet Beautiful Like Gods
Seeing a seven-year-old experience, she chose a very ordinary and bottom-level job, which had nothing to do with writing. There, no one knew her, colleagues added the character 'Xiao' before her surname, greeting her warmly and explaining matters. The salary was low, she often worked overtime, and she was very tired.
Seven Jun years said, the greatest significance of this job may be to remind herself, as a person, to admit her own ordinariness and smallness. However, humans are like ants, while beauty is like gods.
'Humans are like ants while beauty is like gods' is one of the two paintings given by Gu Cheng to Ms. Shang Delan, the French translator of contemporary Chinese poetry in 1993. Some people understand it literally: humans are like ants, but their souls are like gods. Some have made a deeper analysis: life events are complex and people inevitably become humble like ants, foraging for food. However, thoughts, spirits or beliefs can be freely soaring, thus being infinitely beautiful!
Both interpretations have a common characteristic, that is, being born as a human, even if small like an ant, one must have a noble flying soul.

Every morning rush hour, especially when taking the subway, particularly at the most crowded subway stations during transfers, combined with traffic restrictions, a large number of people rushed in, as if a city was moving out, and all the people in the city gathered together. Human mountain human sea. Although she always encouraged herself to endure, preparing for the psychological preparation of being immersed in the crowd and pushed forward, at the moment of people pushing and shoving, her mood was easily reduced to the bottom.
At this time, she often thought of the old game in the forest of her hometown, when eating steamed buns, deliberately dropping some steamed bun crumbs, in a moment, ants would come to carry them, the steamed bun crumbs were sometimes bigger than the ants, and the ants would exert all their strength, never discouraged.
When I was a child, I thought it was fun to see ants carrying food. As an adult, I couldn't help but become a diligent and hardworking ant, working hard to provide for clothing, food, housing, and transportation, and to build a warm home for my family. The ant's world, what people see is just the surface, when it carries a little steamed bun crumb, thinking about how to bring a delicious meal to a child, and then strives not to be discouraged, this is the beauty of labor bestowed by family.
Ju Guangqian said, people all have the wish to pursue beauty. The human being has many higher levels of beauty, such as a rich soul. Like a still body of water, calm on the surface, but can let the water flow deep.
In the crowded sea of people, some play games, watch boring videos, and waste time, dulling themselves; some people sit quietly and immerse themselves in the fresh and vast world of books. There was once a hot-hearted person who photographed many readers' elegant figures in the subway, struggling to survive, and there were still many readers.
It's no secret that good books are known to everyone. Whenever you see someone holding a book, it's natural for people's hearts to rise with respect. Books lead to the soul, even if the external pressure is like a mountain, and the noise is chaotic, you can build a beautiful garden in your heart, with a gentle breeze and clear moonlight, and look up at the sky freely.
Once a poet, she completed many poems in the subway before becoming famous. Busy life, busy work, only in the subway could she have a rare moment for herself. As long as she took the subway, even if it was a standing position, even if there were passengers playing games, watching videos, or chatting, she could automatically block it out and enter her own beautiful world.
I believe the world is fair, for survival, hardworking and miserable, there will be unexpected gains. As long as you have a heart to pursue the beauty of life, heaven will always compensate you in another form.
