I fell in love with Mr. Wang Zengqi’s book "Life is Fun" very early on. After reading half of it, I didn’t have time to finish it.
I loved this book so much that I recommended it to my high school Chinese teacher "feeling good about myself". I accidentally flipped through the teacher's book list and found that she was already a "fan" of Mr. Wang Zengqi. She must have read this book a long time ago and was ashamed of herself.

To be honest, when I first read this book, I was in a very low mood. A depressed person naturally feels that life is quite boring, but experience tells me that a bad mood only I can heal myself, so I am ready to open this book to find spiritual comfort.
Sure enough, a classic is a classic. The fragrance of the ink that has been handed down to this day still exudes, which can soothe the souls of frustrated people and give them a hearty feeling.
I have no intention of writing a book review, because I cannot say that I fully understand this classic book by the old gentleman. But I extracted some sentences from the book and my husband's work, so I simply spent some time making some small excerpts to sort them out, and share them with you based on my own thoughts and experiences.

Love is a non-professional thing, not a skill, not an ability, it is the growth like flowers and trees, with a love for time and seasons and persistence. We must love something, it makes us tough, tolerant and full. Amateur, loving.
I told a few friends that I like Hunan.
One of my friends said, in fact, I don’t think there is any difference between love and dislove. When you really get to that place, you will find that everything is the same everywhere. Sometimes what you think in your heart may not be what it is. The way you see it.
Of course I know, but persistence in a place is not stubbornness of one’s own nature, but a kind of obsession and belief. Let’s talk about it when we actually arrive. The place we haven’t reached yet is the distance. It enriches my spiritual life and gives me the tenacity to explore and seek.
The book talks about the description of many craftsmen that Mr. Hu observed, and the atmosphere of hard-working, solid, sweet and slightly bitter life. In Mr.’s opinion, this is something interesting, worthy of love, and “fun”.
There is a calligrapher in the book that I admire very much. He once told me that to write and draw, you must first have passion. There must be emotions, imagination and feelings for a person, a thing, a flower, and the shape of a word.
Bobo Ran has been accumulated in his chest, ready to spit out.
Being obsessed with one thing and persisting in a hobby is a rare and valuable thing.

Walk slowly, taste tea, drink wine, listen to music, and write. Life will be more fun if you worry less.
Zhihu big V Cai Tong said in one of her books: "Thoughts and dressing up can be very avant-garde, but habits can be old-fashioned."
I really do sometimes I miss the time when I was in high school. Although I didn’t have a mobile phone, I didn’t often socialize online, I didn’t follow certain idol dramas, and I didn’t know what Weibo was. At that time, it was indeed “unfashionable” and could not keep up with the trend. But I always stop at the newsstand next to the school, feeling in my pocket to see if I have enough money to buy a magazine, Egger, Yilin. These are enough to make me happy for several days inside and outside the classroom.
You said that Mr. Wang Zengqi’s age is no longer suitable for young people like us. But if you look at the lives of the old people, they really live a very poetic life.
Times are different, but good ideas can always be used. College students can dress up in a fashionable way and have avant-garde ideas, but you can still develop some very "elderly" habits: go to bed early and get up early, walk slowly, listen to music, play less games, drink some tea and take a walk.

People can’t be too stubborn. Living in this world requires seriousness on the one hand, but sometimes you can only be indifferent.
There is a friend who loves philosophy. When we were discussing a problem by chance, he said to me seriously and helplessly: I think life should not be dwelled on.
I wanted to reply: Yes. But I left the question to myself and thought about it carefully. When it comes to right and wrong, there is no right or wrong in the world. What you think is wrong may be right in the eyes of others. No one holds a standard ruler to measure right and wrong. In terms of meaning, what is meaningful and what is meaningless?
Only you can decide something and do it seriously, and only you know what to do. After you try your best to complete the matter, the result, in the words of the old man, "doesn't matter." I don't mean that you should be passive and avoid the world, but sometimes you need a little spirit of compromise, don't complain, and have a gentler attitude.

Walk around and you will love the world.
Gao Xiaosong has a saying that everyone knows: Life is not just about the present, but also about poetry and the distance. It was often mentioned in people's mouth some time ago, and it makes people's ears tingle when they hear it.
Although such words are highly condensed, they may make you suddenly enlightened and take you on a journey at your leisure; or they may make you excited for a while, but you will still continue to crawl like a snail carrying a heavy shell.
Many times, "that trip that we can just leave" depends on many factors. We can't just leave, but we can walk around.
The distance does not have to be as far as Harbin, China, or as far as the end of the world. It can be a quiet but unfamiliar alley or city.
The important thing is that after you walk around, you will find that the world is bigger and the things in your heart are smaller.
Chu Han was mentioned again. He was troubled for a while, and his mother told him on WeChat: Go travel!
The greatest significance of travel is when you see the beautiful sky in Fairbanks, the magnificent history in the Colosseum, the pious faith in Jerusalem, and the life in the Masai Mara After resting, if you look back at the bad things you encountered and the people you didn't love, they are just dust.
Mr. Wang Zengqi’s "Walking Around" in the book:
In life, you must love something, it makes us tough and full.
