For me, words are just a simple symbol to record life. Therefore, I have been afraid to call the words flowing from my fingertips "articles", at best, I can only call them "words". Just using words to carve time and freeze life has become a habit that is hard to give up for many years.
About the beginning of 20 14, at a relative's funeral, a relative actually called me a "writer" in front of my two brothers. I can only blush and tell him not to yell. This is the first time my little brother has heard that I often send words in the county newspaper. His face is full of surprise and pride. My little brother asked me to send him a message later.
So when the article "Family Style" was published in the newspaper, I excitedly took a newspaper from school and handed it to my little brother when I passed by his furniture store. I know my brother will like this article about our Hu Jiafeng.
To the little brother's shop, just a slightly famous calligrapher in the county was also present. After a brief introduction by my brother, the calligrapher took the newspaper in his hand and turned to ask me, "Does it cost money to post articles in this newspaper?" I was stunned at first, and then I reacted and explained with a smile: "There is no money, but there is no manuscript fee!"
"But it's no big deal that this article doesn't pay. If you do, I will give you at most 200 yuan for an article, which will not help improve your life! "
Then he began to read my family style.
"This is your article? It won't be copied from the Internet, will it? "
"All the articles copied from the Internet have been submitted to the newspaper?"
"Even if copied, it doesn't matter. Anyway, it's just communication in this county! "
I ignored him again, just told my little brother that I had to pick up the children and left the furniture store in a hurry.
About a year later, I learned from another calligrapher that the calligrapher who had a brief exchange with me at Xiaoge Furniture Store had a thriving children's calligraphy training class. It's just that when he writes calligraphy himself, he still can't get rid of it. At that moment, I finally understood and forgave the calligrapher who was used to selling words and posting wealth. People in the world will inevitably think narrowly that people in the world earn money by copying words like him.
In this utilitarian era, many people always try their best to turn their hobbies or specialties into money. It seems that only in this way can they prove to the world that their life is successful, even if they stand on thorns, they will not forget to endure pain and hold high flowers.
Some people also advised me to make good use of this pen in my hand, plan my life and earn more money. I laughed without a word. On the one hand, I have self-knowledge, and my words are as superficial and straightforward as my people, and have no economic value; On the other hand, I feel that once a rare hobby that can relax my body and mind is converted into money, it will inevitably put an invisible shackle on myself. When hobbies become a tool to make money, in my eyes, it is actually nothing to be proud of and happy about.
The most thirst-quenching water in the world is called salary. Although my salary is not high, it is enough to maintain daily necessities. As for what kind of life is rich and comfortable, I think people with different nerves must have different views. Work 18 years, still a junior title, often ridiculed by colleagues. Senior teachers may not have my senior life. In fact, at best, I am in high spirits. If I can, I will try my best to make myself feel better. After all, many things are hard-won, not to mention caring.
Many times, the purpose of the code word is just to relax, to be hi. Because I don't seek fame and fortune, I have been able to keep that happy initial heart in writing for so many years. I also understand that it is this initial intention that makes me have no future. But what's so important about this? Life is too short to do simple things and be happy. Many times my writing is just like my character-no rules, no rhetoric, only willfulness!
Some people also questioned, since there is no fame and no profit, why did you send the text to the newspaper, why did you transfer the text to the circle of friends, and why did you get excited and happy for such a little reward from the school? I think every code word has the same wish, that is, its own words can trigger * * *. Besides, loving writing is not something to hide, so why hide it? Our words between the lines, full of fireworks, are a kind of positive energy that loves life. Isn't it something worthy of our pride and happiness to pass on positive energy? As for the reward of the library, I can't make a fortune, mainly for fun, and I will reward myself if I see my favorite words!
Sometimes I think about it, just walk, watch, think, write and have fun all the way. If one day, you find that my writing quality has improved, please don't be surprised. Maybe I just walked away, read too much, thought too deeply and wrote too much!
