I believe in the right door. There is a natural barrier between different classes, and the so-called compartment is like a mountain. Of course, the people in the city look down on the countrymen, but don't the countrymen also secretly laugh at the people in the city?
For example, Ah Q, when he returned to Weizhuang, he was naturally entitled to be conceited, because he had entered the city several times. However, he despised the people of the city. For example, a stool made of wooden planks three feet three inches wide is called "bench" by the people of Weizhuang, and he also calls it "bench", but the people in the city call it "bar bench", and he thinks: This is wrong, ridiculous! Fried big-headed fish, Weizhuang added half an inch of green onion leaves, but the city added finely chopped green onions, he thought: This is also wrong, ridiculous!
This is Ah Q's mentality, and it is also the mentality of many normal people.
Many estrangements cannot be explained by interpretation, and must go through a certain amount of time, and only by transposing to the scene at that time and place may suddenly be clear.
When I was in high school, my family was extremely poor, and I only had a change of clothes. Every time I wait for the weather to be fine, I blanch it with hot water at noon, wring it out and hang it outside. One is dry at noon, and it can be worn full for a week. What rich kid can understand me? Why do I need others to understand?
The worst part was that I didn't have the money to buy shampoo, and every time I went to the bathroom to shower, I found my hair hard to handle. I once washed my hair with soap, and as a result, I washed my hair into bunches, like Yaksha, and played monsters on the crew of "Journey to the West", without makeup at all.
So every time I took a shower, I searched around to see if anyone had thrown away the shampoo bag. At that time, people often used bags of shampoo, a bag for a dollar, there was Head & Shoulders, and it seems that there was also Pantene.
If you're lucky, you might pick it up and fill it with a little water in a bag to wash your hair once. It's nice to be young, and your black hair can float up. At that time, there was also a kind of shampoo called Komon. The slogan is, Kemeng will join hands with you to accompany you to take a charming step!
At that time, I thought that it was so wonderful to have such a good thing in this world. The happiness of the rich is too simple, how can you make me understand those who are rich?
During the summer vacation, the leaves of the honey locust tree grow very large, and my mother took my sisters to collect a lot of leaves from the honey locust tree, sometimes using mulberry leaves. Put it on the washboard and rub it, a lot of green juice runs down, continue to rub, the juice becomes more and more, thicker and thicker, and then filter out the broken leaves, and use it to wash the quilt.
If you put it in a bottle, you can wash your hair, so it seems to be very easy to use. I've tried it before, but it just smells of grass, which doesn't smell good.
My roommate's surname is Chen, and he is a very good friend of mine. Their family conditions are relatively good, although we are iron buddies, but the three views do not agree. In the summer, what I looked down on the most was that he actually wore a small pair of pants under the big pants. In my opinion, this is completely unnecessary, just take off your pants and fart, or just a demonstration by the rich.
I laughed at him more than once, and he laughed at me as a hillbilly. One day he was really angry and said to me: "Kaidong, I bet with you that one day in the future, you will definitely wear small pants, and I am not a human being if you lose." ”
I also bet that I would never wear two pants in my life, even if I had money. You're definitely not going to be an adult. Ha ha.
But on the other thing, I see it differently. The paper used for stale is toilet paper, which is very soft. I'm envious and sometimes use him.
I often think that one day when I have a good time, I will definitely use this kind of paper, and even going to the toilet will become a pleasure in my life. This is the same as the little leper in "Farewell My Concubine", who thinks that rock sugar gourds are the most delicious thing in the world, and when he becomes a horn one day, he will buy countless rock sugar gourds to eat.
Looking back now, how funny it is. When I put on my little pants for the first time, I said in my heart, Lao Chen, you won. But that doesn't prove that I've lost, it's just that I've gotten out of poverty and changed my way of life. I also used toilet paper today, and I don't think it's very happy. This is the way life should be.
But I think a lot about it. People at different levels of life do have different lifestyles and concepts. Even if someone is destined to fish and speculate, they can't understand another level of people at all.
A friend of mine admires the rich second generation very much. He believes that many rich second generations are indeed capable, have seen a lot of the world, have courage, they have walked more bridges than we have walked, and they are not afraid of failure, what do we compare with others?
He was right. For example, I bought a second-hand house in Suzhou, and the investor was a college student in Shenzhen. The family gave her three million, let her use the summer vacation to go all over the world to find investment, don't be afraid of losing money, just let her practice her hands.
As a result, she invested in 3 houses in Suzhou, and in less than a year, she earned more than 700,000 yuan for my house. But she didn't think it was worth it.
I asked her why? She said that although she made money, she invested in the wrong place and lost a lot. If she had bought a house in Shenzhen, she would have earned at least 3 million. This is called opportunity cost. I was stunned by the little girl, and I felt that I was not as business-minded as she was, and I didn't have the courage to do it at all. I'm a poor wage, how can I compare with her.
But I also have my strengths, and my strengths are not inferior. I'm confident at all times and in all situations. Maybe it's not called self-confidence, it's just that people should be equal to each other.
For so many years, no matter how big the leader I talked to, I had to find a chair to sit down in. Only by sitting down can I be at eye level and talk to others. The same is true for other people who come to me, and if they don't sit down, I'm sitting on pins and needles.
There is a popular article on the Internet called "I struggled for eighteen years to have the opportunity to sit with you and drink coffee". But now I'm afraid not, that era of burning passion is over. After 18 years of struggle, you may still not be able to change yourself. You can be admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University, become a scholar, and crush the rich and noble idlers in your studies. But after graduating, you'll be in your original form very quickly.
You are a poor man, the reputation of the Phoenix man is not very good, relying on the meager wages of our parents and ourselves, we may not be able to earn a house in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou until we are 100 years old, this is the anxiety of the 985 and 211 collectives.
Real estate has completely killed the hope of the quasi-middle class, and it is difficult for the poor family to produce a noble son. But today it was completely blocked. A house can become the Han realm of the Chu River, and become the Milky Way drawn by the hairpin of the Queen Mother, so that we live like people and ghosts.
But I'm better, I have the spirit of Ah Q, and I don't care about anything. I used to rent a house for several years, spend time with cockroaches, and write articles for cockroaches, calling them Cockroach Brothers. I don't obey the rivers and lakes, I don't take the usual path, forgive me for my indulgence and love of freedom in this life.
People say, I struggled for 18 years to have the opportunity to sit with you and drink coffee. I want to say, I've struggled for 18 years, why should I sit with you and have coffee?
