What you call 'slow living' has already been defeated by reality.
Let the slow life return to Mr. Woodenheart's 'Once Upon a Slow,' reading it, I suddenly felt very quiet, as if walking gracefully in a warm and pure world.
Once upon a time, I remember when we were teenagers, we sincerely said, 'In the Qing Dynasty, in the morning, the train stations, the streets, the darkness, and the shops selling bean curd without people – they were steaming in the hot summer. In the past, the sun slowed down, the horses slowed down, and the mail slowed down, and I only loved one person for my entire life.'
Before, locks looked good and the keys were also exquisite. You can understand, when you lock them up, the most touching thing is: 'In the past, the sun became very slow, cars, horses, and mail were all very slow, enough for only one person's life.'
Now, with the development of communication tools, people and people change because of time and distance. Now there are too many choices between regions and time, so people who once vowed to wait for you for a lifetime may choose others in the next corner. I feel like I'm a person with a heavy heart. I don't resist gentle words, so I also like them. When I read Shen Congwen's works, I can feel the beauty of nature and humanity.
I've walked through many bridges, seen many clouds, drunk many cups of wine, but only loved one of the best years. 'No doubt, any woman seeing such a love letter would be moved, but now we transmit emotions faster and faster. SMS, WeChat, it's difficult to have that feeling when waiting, difficult to have that anticipation in a passionate romance. Because times are different, emotions are different. However, if you think carefully, even if you copy the old legends, you cannot surpass them.'
Currently, it's difficult for us to slow down and read books carefully, write letters. It's painful for lovers to write letters. Many people say, 'Why do you have a mobile phone when you can just send a letter?' Perhaps this letter would take a very long time to deliver. Everything seems so urgent. I may not be able to wait. Even if I like someone today, they might become a meeting tomorrow. It's not that we don't have time, it's that we can't wait. Information society has replaced people's most real emotions. Just like most of the people in the ancient poems are no longer here, the atmosphere of 'moonlight, chrysanthemums, leisurely gazing at the south mountain' cannot be realized.
Now, you and your children say, is there a fairy on the moon? Mythology is cold and ruthless in the face of rapid technology. You can't tell your children about the moon rabbit, Chang'e, and Guanghan Palace. So technology doesn't give people a feeling. In the introductory stage, someone tells children that the moon is just a planet, without mythology or naive fantasies, they have lost their yearning for something.
In my mind, when I was a child, my family and I enjoyed the coolness under the moonlight. Every night, there was a legend about the moon. It was beautiful and moving, making me full of fantasy about the world, making me laugh heartily in my dreams. Ancient myths and stories trigger our hearts, giving us something to rely on, and we believe in the charm of the moon legends.
Now, the work we face every day, as well as the tedious housing, wages, school, and medical care, are troubling. It's hard for us to figure out what we really want. When our hometown becomes another country, we have no place to put our emotions, but we don't have ownership, we can't find a gentle hometown, like a lost hometown, we can't find our roots. Every time I return to my hometown, my home has changed.
With the things you remember, if you want to find them again in the future, you may not be able to find their traces. In today's life, having knowledge can make you lose yourself. We know that in this era, it's very difficult for people who want to slow down their lives. It's as if time has become very scarce, because in a blink of an eye, time doesn't wait for anyone, and everyone is running desperately, so people live more tiredly.
Life is a journey, doesn't matter the destination, should care about the scenery along the way and the mood to watch the scenery. People have the right to pursue slow growth, because we can say that we should live a good life, whether for dreams or for the first truth.
