Mu Xin’s most romantic poem: "Once Upon a Time Slow".
I remember when we were young, everyone was sincere.
Say one sentence, just one sentence.
At the train station in the early morning, the long street was dark and empty of pedestrians.
The small shop selling soy milk is steaming, and the sun has become slower in the past.
Cars, horses, and mail are all slow, but there is only enough time to love one person in a lifetime.
The locks in the past also looked good, and the keys were exquisite and stylish.
If you lock it, people will understand.
The sentence is simple, but full of profound meaning. Nowadays, people live in a fast-paced era, and their living standards are gradually improving. Goals that used to have to be run to catch up can now be reached by stepping on the steps. But the strange thing is that no one is willing to step on the steps to reach the goals that were out of reach before. On the contrary, Run harder than before in order to pursue higher-level life goals.
The pace is too fast, and many people have no time to think about themselves. They are led by life every day, insisting on taking the bus, working overtime, staying up late, watching TV, playing games, and not even having time to take a shower when they get home. I fell into bed and went to sleep because I had to get up early to catch the bus tomorrow.
They originally had so many great ambitions, so many things they wanted to accomplish, and their lives were originally filled with so many wonderful possibilities, but now they have no time to take care of them.
They are drained of energy by a lot of chores every day, resulting in them having no energy to stay up all night to realize their ideals, adjust their pace, and make their lives full of fun. However, anything meaningful in life requires effort to be completed.
