Mr. Yang Jiang once said, "Everyone has an unusually difficult time. This sounds like an old man in an old Beijing hutong, shaking a banana fan while chatting with you about the philosophy of life.
You say, this life is like the sugar gourd in old Beijing, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, all kinds of tastes. Everyone has their own difficult time, and that is the only way for us to grow.
On that day, the sun was shining, and my wife and I were basking in the sun at the mouth of the alley. The little boy next to me ran over and asked me, "Uncle, did you also experience any difficult times when you were a child?" "I looked at him and thought, "Well, I'll tell this kid my story today."
I remember that at that time, I was still a half-grown child, and the family conditions were not good, so I had to help the family do some work. One day, I went with my master to repair the house, which was a dirty and tiring job. At that time, I was young and vigorous, and I felt that I was not afraid of anything, but when I really did it, it was really uncomfortable.
At that time, I secretly vowed in my heart that I must get ahead and let those who look down on me take a good look. So, I learned the craft from the master during the day, and went home at night to learn culture on my own. During that time, I suffered a lot, but I also gained a lot.
Tell me, what is the suffering at that time compared to now? But at that time, I thought it was a great difficulty. But it was that difficult time that taught me to persevere and made me understand that there are no hurdles in life that I can't overcome.
Now that I think about it, those days were bitter, but they were also fulfilling. Just like the bean juice in old Beijing, although the taste is unique, but when you get used to drinking it, it is also a kind of enjoyment.
Actually, everybody has a really hard time, and that's because we're all growing. During this time, we have learned to face difficulties, learn to persevere, and learn to cherish. is like the rock sugar gourd in old Beijing, although it is wrapped in sugar coating on the outside, it hides the ups and downs of life inside.
Speaking of which, I am reminded of a joke. One day, a Beijinger went to buy a car, and the salesman asked him, "What color do you want?" The Beijinger replied: "I want the red one, like the rock sugar gourd in old Beijing, and it will be festive when you look at it." ”
This joke sounds very interesting, but it actually shows that we Beijingers just like that kind of life. Life is to have bitterness in sweetness and sweetness in bitterness, so that you can live a delicious life.
To sum up, Mr. Yang Jiang's words really speak to our hearts. Everyone has a really hard time, but it's that time that makes us grow and we become stronger. Therefore, don't be afraid of difficulties, face them bravely, and challenge them, so that life will be more exciting.
Finally, I would like to end this article with a sentence from old Beijing: "Life is like the bean juice of old Beijing, and when you get used to it, the taste is really getting better and better." ”
