Ginkgo biloba has a very long life, and it began to bear a large number of fruits in the fortieth year, and its growth was extremely slow.
My friend Anan told me all this seriously. An An is a scholar of the Republic of China. Practicing calligraphy and drinking scented tea every day is his favorite part. In this fast-paced new world, he is one of the few people around me who insist on slow pace. "I'm going to be reborn so soon!" "oh! Don't panic. " This is Ann's mantra.
When I was reporting at the university, I met this classmate who was advancing at a high speed. When everyone was busy making the bed and dealing with all kinds of affairs, he sat on the upper bunk shaking his legs, eating apples and looking at the red chamber.
"ah! My name is Chen Nansheng. " He greeted me with a friendly smile. A little broken southern accent, but not rustic, clean hair, a warm person, squinting at one side with a smile.
He said that his hometown was surrounded by a river. In summer, there are abundant aquatic plants. He wears slippers to go fishing by the river, and misses meals every time. When the red sky disappeared, the frog in the grass began to bark. His mother drove him home with a bamboo pole, and he reluctantly got up and walked back. I went fishing with him when I was a sophomore. I didn't last long. Seeing mosquitoes full of legs, I began to beg for mercy, and Ann still sat cross-legged. This thin boy from the south has his own quiet power. In this rapidly changing world, he has an instant quiet temperament. We call him a man made of water. He jokingly said, "There is so much water in my five elements."
His slowness is not procrastination or laziness. But a person who has known himself for a long time is circulating himself at a constant speed, and it is not easy to get angry or deceive himself. In the evening, I saw him standing by the window with a water cup, lazily watching the crowded people on the playground, kicking slippers and going back to the house to practice for a while before falling asleep.
Ann likes to go shopping with her camera on Saturday and Sunday, and she has made great achievements in her junior year. Many beautiful women ask him out, and many girls like him. He always bypasses those ambiguities. We always make fun of his sexual orientation. A boy with clean eyes and talent, who has been alone for three years, is doubtful. However, he always laughs it off, saying that he doesn't like the smell of those girls, the delicate fragrance of cosmetics and the temptation of ignorance. He has never met an equal opponent, so he has never been in love.
For a person who still holds an old Nubian mobile phone, it is undoubtedly casting pearls before swine to talk about updated electronic products. In the bizarre consumer world, An An did not show much enthusiasm. Few people understand his persistence, but admire his courage to be light. In the eyes of most people, he is an alien.
After junior year, we have less overlap. I went to Beijing for an internship. I am busy day and night and have no sense of direction. Here, I met a man like him, Shinohara. A simple girl, who brings her own lunch every day, is very interested in ancient books and legends, but she is also very attractive. He is also a man who lives in a beautiful life that he has repaired. He is slow-paced, does not worship famous brands, but enjoys the texture and is amiable and respectable.
In a person's city, meeting a beam of light is enough to warm yourself. Similar kind eyes, the same tone in the face of doubt. Stick to your hobbies and never discuss others at will. When I panicked, they gave me the same shock. In this case, I should be ashamed. Inner instability, staring at the phone every day in a daze, worried about their future, living on the surface, never looking at their own hearts.
Li Hui Akiyama published the book "Craftsman Spirit", which laid down 30 rules for how to train first-class carpenters and expounded the core quality of first-class talents, that is, learning to be slow. "First-class craftsmen, character is more important than technology." It takes eight years for a qualified craftsman to be born. At first it was just an experience. It is because of long-term training that it is possible to become a first-class craftsman.
In my circle of friends, every day is full of troubles. The faster the world is, the more chaotic people are. Only when parents begin to educate their children from an early age will there be disputes and huge profits caused by school districts. Friends in college are busy socializing and making money before they are born. Duanzi chicken soup is more sought after. In order to win life, the girls began to work hard on their faces. It seems that there are shortcuts to all success. My friend lamented to me that it is not easy to fall in love. A boy told her that if she didn't go back to his city, she wouldn't fall in love with her, even for a month. Nowadays, many people should clearly mark their prices when they are in love. They can't go through a long ordeal with their lovers, just want to see their wealth. So, who is silently accompanying your lover during the long incubation period? Faced with couples who have been together for more than five years, they all find it difficult. Mu Xin once said that in the past, the sun was slow, and we could only love one person in our life. Nowadays, many fast food couples are afraid of losing face.
Nowadays, the records and works released in one year are enough for me to miss for many years, and I am dazzled by the official WeChat accounts made by various friends in my mobile phone. Now, I have given up this pursuit and returned to my original heart, but I am more comfortable.
When I was in the third year of senior high school, Ann and I went back to school and had a beer on the playground of the campus. They talked about it in Kan Kan. He said that he would go back to work in his hometown with water. My mother is in poor health, so I should stay with her. My parents are here, so I won't travel far. I think he can live so clean, and a person who can control his own intentions and life will live comfortably everywhere.
April, the festival of the earth. The sky meets the grass, the clouds change, and the last ray of sunset light dissipates. I started to go out for a walk. I think the faster the world, the slower the heart should be.
