1 Oh... I bought vermicelli yesterday.
I miss my hometown’s pickled cabbage vermicelli.
What was delivered was not vermicelli,
It is also different from what is shown in the picture.
(Is it legendary? The picture is for reference only?)
Then I said yesterday.
What have you done in 2019?
Survive a difficult winter,
Just come and write an article.
It can be said that I spent a spring, summer, autumn and winter here.
More than six months and 300,000 words.
If you asked me what I wrote, I probably wouldn't be able to tell you.
Time flies by like a white horse.
Looking back on the past, everything seems to have happened in just a moment.
Who can tell what interesting and meaningful things I have done in my life?
And my thoughts have never changed from beginning to end:
Just want to do one thing well, that's all.
leave out all the rest.
Sometimes in life, things have to happen.
2 In the past few years, I was particularly concerned about this word: cultural .
Can't remember where I first saw it.
Or did you think of it yourself?
It probably didn't appear in the textbook.
People I know in real life will never mention this.
As mentioned before, the inferiority complex of Chinese people is a universal inferiority complex.
And confusion is the same.
In the same way, the family and social problems seen in the news are by no means isolated cases.
While grieving, we should realize that those extreme cases are not only suffering for others, but also a wake-up call for us.
(Thinking of "BellsFreedom" by Bon Jovi)
As for cultural .
The main things that can come to mind are the following two points:
The desolation away from nature caused by urbanization,
And the desolation of human nature that is real to the core.
These two points can be said to run through my entire lifeline.
Let’s mention the first type below.
After leaving my hometown surrounded by mountains, I lost my paradise.
A few words come to mind: paradise lost, sanctuary, shelter.
(The second word was learned from a BBC documentary.)
Later, the residential area in my hometown was dug into a subsidence area due to excessive coal mining (this was foreshadowed. I have seen subsidence areas outside residential areas, which was shocking).
The past that cannot be returned.
"This feeling can be remembered as a memory."
The mountains in my hometown have not been touched by humans.
There are all kinds of creatures on the mountain.
For example, the cute stick insect looks like a tree branch and jumped down from the tree when I was picking mushrooms with a basket of soil.
For example, an ellipsoid-shaped hornet's nest hanging on a tree.
For example, it is very similar to the long-legged spider, with super long legs but a very small body (there is a book called "daddy long legs").
There are also water snakes that get into the river when people pass by.
Every time I wanted to get closer, my father would take her away.
(This reminds me of an emoticon package, I will look for it when I have time.)
There are old turtles in the water.
There are chipmunks that escape very quickly.
There are wild fruits and vegetables.
Not to mention wild vegetables, there are too many types.
There are also many kinds of mushrooms.
Pecans. Hazelnuts. Mountain red. Mountain grape. Lantern fruit.
There are many that cannot be named, some are edible and some are not.
At that time, I still wanted to know: Why are there pine nuts in the pine cone?
And there is only one kind that I love most: round dates.
Wild kiwi.
Later, when I saw Kiwi, I thought Yuan Zaozi was Kiwi's father (reminding me of the Korean public service advertisement "I am your daddy").
Just like mountain red and hawthorn, mountain grape and grape.
The Internet says that the former is a variant of the latter (think of the mutant in X-Men).
I just don’t understand. Could it be that there were wild ones first and artificially improved ones later?
Well, it doesn't matter. Just do whatever you want.
It's better not to take some things too seriously.
After all, the truth of many things is not something that people today can understand.
Cannot be tested (certified).
For example, there are many lost works, craftsmanship, techniques, and historical facts.
Think of Guangling San.
continue.
There are mountain springs. The spring water forms streams and small ponds.
There is also scenery in the pool.
Frogs, tadpoles, small fish.
Dragonfly larvae, etc.
There are also water striders.
This guy is quite interesting.
It can actually float on the water.
I have spent a lot of time trying to catch it, but it is much more powerful than a grasshopper and always come back in vain.
There are also moments when you think success is just around the corner.
Chase and chase along the river.
Finally. When it is "exhausted".
Guess what?
The place where I live now is probably at the foot of the mountain.
There is no shortage of rivers either.
But this mountain and this water have no soul.
As I said before:
As far as the eye can see, there is nothing but human beings.
