1. Stand (Wen Jun)

You only choose one posture in your life-standing.

When the wind blows, you refuse to fall; On the day of heavy snow, you refused to give in; At the moment when the flood raged, you refused to bow your head; At dusk, with the knife and axe in hand, you refused to bend down. A tree, in the long river of years, writes the life of a hero.

In the vast desert, a tree stands upright and is a monument; Towering green hills, thousands of trees stand upright, is a great wall; On the long river bank, all the trees stand upright and are a dragon; The tree of youth sings eternal sincerity in the tide of the times.

Stand up and give the earth a shade; Stand and give the river a drop of purity; Stand up and give a greeting to life; Standing, give the city a ray of warmth. Regardless of honor or disgrace, regardless of gains or losses, stand for a lifetime, just to repay the kindness of the soil and prove the rock-solid spirit of life.

People, standing with trees, is an irresistible force and a miracle that shakes the earth!

Appreciate:

This paper is about a poetic but resolute brushwork, a deeply touching and chilling state of mind.

It is better to write trees than people; It is better to write about a person than to write about a posture of being. In the world of mortals, people sometimes need to persist and be unyielding, otherwise, we will lose ourselves in the vast space and time.

2. I yearn for (Yang Zimin)

What do you crave? I often ask myself this question and sometimes I get tongue-tied. The joys and pains of the world evaporate on the earth, condense into clouds in the sky of the soul, or shed showers or pour snowstorms. This sweet and bitter water is sucked by the root of the soul, giving birth to a desire, just like the root of a tree, stretching its branches, sticking out of the ground and reaching into the sky to spy out a world that has never been seen in the soil and pursue the green leaves, flowers and fruits that contain the secrets of the future.

Is this a desirable role? -Yes. Yearning for and living together. Desire is a form of life. I have missed Ganxin countless times, and each petal changes with the time sequence of missing, sprouting-falling, falling-sprouting. So, I continue to yearn for it.

I know that if there is no yearning for life, it is lifeless, equal to stillbirth, equal to premature aging, equal to withering, whether it is a tree or a person.

3. Life and Beauty (Yukiko)

Really beautiful life, persistent pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty. It will not distort its image, change its smart lines, and will not contaminate its beautiful background with dust. Unless it is burned to ashes and turned into dust, a beautiful life is like a clean stream, which will never look back and run optimistically to the sea until the last drop.

Sometimes, it may be blocked by cold eyes; Sometimes, it may be ruthlessly stranded; What's more, it has not caught a glimpse of the beautiful and splendid starry sky at night, and has not quietly listened to the pure sound in the depths of the universe. It has been destroyed by unexpected vulgarity and sinister, and is heading for extinction.

Life is beautiful because in the process of its flesh and blood, a beautiful theme is always held high: beauty is eternal because in the inside story of life, the purest conscience and desire of human beings for the world are always flowing.

Therefore, beauty exists because of life, and life is eternal because of beauty. This is a unity for which even God prays.

4. I believe (Liu Yin)

The river dries up in winter, and I believe that spring water will come again. At that time, the white sail was the idol of freedom in our hearts. The leaves in the wind have withered, and I believe that dreams in the soil will blossom and bear fruit on the branches. Will you still cry? It was the first snow that buried your grass, but the green will be returned to you eventually.

The storm twisted the tree, and I believe the seeds have been inserted into the deep soil; The flood swept away the houses on both sides of the strait, and I believe that the child is still nestled in his mother's arms like an angel. Will you still cry? Fate has taken away your wealth, but not your soul.

Pain is like a boulder that depresses the heart of singing. I believe that pain is the source of happiness, which will turn into a force and cross the rocks.

Suffering makes you full of holes. I believe that these memories are like flowers among thorns, lingering in a beautiful corolla of that year.

There are dark clouds in the sky, and you will see an eagle like lightning, breaking the evil prelude. I believe that there will be a brilliant chorus of raindrops.

The sea roars in the distance, and you will see the sailors coming back side by side with the mast. Their smiles are full of trust. I believe that life is powerful in such casting.

5. Happy Chai Men (Yun Qi)

If the door to happiness is a magnificent door, we have no reason to stop; But what if the door to happiness is a simple and shabby Chai Men?

We walked along with longing for happiness, longing and tireless pursuit, with sweat, scars and dust all the way. The vicissitudes of life have not been washed, the tears have not been wiped, and it is by no means a happy dream to stare at Chai Men. Will the fiery heart suddenly cool down? Will disappointment cover the whole body? I will never take back my knocking hand.

Years have changed, joys and sorrows are intertwined, and fate is ups and downs, which makes me deeply understand what is the most cherished wealth in life. As long as happiness lives in it, what about humble Chai Men and humble huts! A happy smile will never lose its brilliant light because of its status. I crossed the desert of mountains and rivers to fight for happiness itself, not for the golden urn in front of the happiness seat and the treasure stick in my hand.

Happiness is more precious than gold, which is what life has taught me.

6. The scenery here is picturesque (Zhang)

At the fork in the road leading to the future, you firmly chose this road. The other side of the road is sunny and winding? Or is the bridge broken by the wind? You have no way of knowing. With beautiful ideals and adventure clothes, the scenery in the forest makes you pleasing to the eye and your confidence increases dramatically. Look, what a beautiful scenery! Through the sun, through the Woods, the sky suddenly flashed and thundered. Without an extended path and a cloth umbrella to shelter from the rain, the vast Yuan Ye is just muddy and dark. Then, you begin to be confused, worried, depressed, and regret that you didn't take the road at the fork. Maybe the scenery will be full of flowers and bright sunshine. However, yesterday's sun has set, the lost scenery has passed, and the journey of life has no turning back. You have no choice but to hesitate too much. You can only get out of this muddy rain by faith. Maybe you will miss a season, maybe you will lose a direction, miss the sun, will you lose the moon again? Maybe there are desert swamps, maybe there are rain, snow, wind and frost. For a strong belief, suffering is also a beautiful scenery. Maybe it took too much time, maybe all the strength was exhausted, and the successful podium has been stood by the pioneers. However, a quality is sometimes more brilliant than an achievement. If you can't celebrate your success, let's drink to your quality, which is a sign of your future success. After a lifetime, will you hesitate again?

7. Love life ([Danish] soren kierkegaard)

Life is chaos between light and darkness: in life, the value of anything can't be fully realized, and the outcome of anything is still up in the air; New voices are always mixed with old voices that have been heard before to form a chorus. Everything is flowing, everything is being transformed into another thing, and its mixture is not harmonious and pure, and it will even fall apart and disappear; Nothing in the world is prosperous forever. Survival means going to destruction, that is to say, we can't go to destruction in the end.

People's love for life lies in the vagueness and uncertainty of life. It keeps swinging like a pendulum-however, it will never swing beyond the normal limit. The change of life makes people love life, which is like a monotonous hypnotic habit and wind. However, miracle plays a definite role: it unexpectedly rushes into life, unexpectedly, difficultly and mercilessly transforms life into a clear mathematical equation, and then solves it. People hate and fear this clarity. People's weakness and cowardice make them want any obstacles imposed by the outside world, any stumbling block placed in their way. They have no imagination. For them, the unattainable Garden of Eden is always a beautiful dream, and life is always a longing and yearning. Fate makes them turn what they can't get into the inner wealth of their souls cheaply and easily. People have never seen a place where all the streams of life meet, and everything is only possible and cannot be transformed into reality. But the miracle is reality itself, which uncovers all the illusory masks of life, and the outline of the soul is clearly and mercilessly displayed, standing naked in front of life.

8. A pillow with fallen flowers (Liu Hongfu)

Some beautiful butterflies, I brought them into my toolkit, resting my years like songs. My little joys and sorrows are only on this pillow-on these fallen flowers. Although flowers are no longer as bright and fragrant as before, I really feel their dew, just like the lips of a newborn baby. These withered flowers, in how many mornings, I picked them up one by one, stroking those pink, yellow, purple and white lives, like butterflies full of spirit, trembling in my palm. Some things in the world seem to be directed at us. Falling flowers in the pillow is a chapter of music: a ballad that wants to break and continue. On a cool autumn night, I fell off my pillow and quietly savored the happiness and satisfaction of life. At a certain moment, there will even be an inexplicable warmth, which will remind people of the glory of the past. I rest on them, thinking that these spirits abandoned by years are actually attracted to me, which is a kind of fate. I collected it from Dongting reed. At the vast water's edge, white petals strongly tempt me. Beautiful life was once mixed with floods, wildfires and endless power on the earth. Other unknown wild flowers, blooming enthusiastically in the misty rain and the sound of partridges, used to be rainy poems and sentimental songs, which held up the beautiful Jiangnan for me in my dreams.

I cherish the fallen petal pillow. For me, nothing can replace it, just as it can never replace the vivid memories and deep feelings in my life.

9. Life Boutique Pen (Jane)

I am not a painter, but it is my wish to capture beautiful moments. I am not a writer, but it is my habit to record every movement.

Come to think of it, life itself is a book and a painting. Maybe one moment, we are readers of books and paintings, and the next moment, we are the protagonists in books and characters in paintings. More likely, we are both readers and protagonists.

Every day is a book with different contents and a painting with different styles. It's just that our feet are in such a hurry that we often forget to read it, appreciate it, browse the past at will, and then assert that life is a replica of yesterday and today, just a formulaic way of life. Reading is not only to understand symbols, but also to understand the connotation conveyed by symbols; And viewing paintings is not just a colorful deployment. Come to think of it, there are pictures in the original painting.

I'm a nobody, I just hope I'm not in such a hurry, I hope I can calm down, look at my life one by one, and savor it with my heart. And that moment of joy, that touch, word for word, tirelessly made the pen of life.

So, everything is beautiful.

10. Founding new humanity ([English ]D●H● Lawrence)

In order to survive, we need to work together to integrate all human cognition into a whole:

We must try to integrate all kinds of knowledge; All languages must be brought together into a huge and fresh symphony; All kinds of human nature must be put into the melting pot in order to cast new human nature.

Please remember that our needs are not personal needs, not the needs of any of us. What we need is not honor, not self-satisfaction; What we need is a great impetus of unity. With it, we can create a great human being and a free country including individual freedom. One person can't create a brand-new nation, which depends on all of us. In order to achieve this goal, we should work together and help each other. How happy I am to think of such a beautiful goal. At that time, more people will break free from shackles with their own hands until they break free from all shackles.

1 1. Site ([Afghanistan] Ulfat)

It's the water in the same stream, but some people hold it in gold cups and some people drink it in mud cups. Those who have neither a golden cup nor a soilless cup can only drink water by hand. Water, there is no difference. The difference lies in the container for holding water. The difference between a king and a beggar lies in the "vessel". Only the most thirsty people know the sweetness of water best. Tired and thirsty travelers from the desert know the taste of water best. At noon in the scorching sun, farmers are busy farming and sweating like rain. Water is the most precious thing for them. When a shepherd comes down from the mountain and his mouth is thirsty, if he can lie down by the river and have a big drink, he is the one who knows the sweetness of water best. However, another person, although he sat in an armchair under the green forest tree, with a beautiful kettle beside him and drank several exquisite cups, still could not taste the sweetness of water. Why? Because he is not as thirsty as travelers and shepherds, and he is not in the hot sun.

He plows at noon, so he won't feel the need for water like that. No matter who has never tasted hunger and thirst, he will never enjoy the sweetness of rice and water and don't know what life is like.

12. When will it rain (Chu Xiao)

When will it rain? When did the wind start to blow? There is only one word "wait".

Waiting is a lifetime, sometimes blind, sometimes awake.

Wait before hope comes, and wait after hope comes, because then there will be new hope. But some hopes will not come, so life is still disappointed in constant waiting. But you won't be completely disappointed, because there is more than one hope in one's life.

Keep asking yourself while waiting, will hope really come? Maybe this question is too many and too heavy, which will make you lose some courage and interest, and sometimes you will be very diligent.

It is frustrating to wait too long. Is the world really dark? Then why is there the scenery and mood of sunshine, blue sky and white clouds deceiving themselves? Natural, unnatural? Confused, awake? Easy and heavy? Gone with the wind, flying? Ups and downs Why explain if you can't explain clearly? It's better not to say anything, just wait silently, through time and space, through a lot, without saying anything, with your heart, etc.

In the waiting, you can do nothing or do everything; You can do what you do every day, or you can do something you have never done before. Waiting is actually very casual.

Since waiting is an inevitable thing in life, what kind of waiting should we choose?

13. Give a cloud (Wang Shuchun)

Human feelings pay more attention to giving things to others, and things are inevitable. I give people a cloud, you can go to Wan Li Road. When you look up, you will see white clouds. Are you afraid of destroying friendship? The warmth of the world is what people care about most, and the communication between people is often on the word "warmth".

You can't warm his heart by giving him something, but give him a real feeling that can be warm even in winter-a heart-to-heart conversation, an outing that is indifferent, recommend several readable books to each other, and help him come up with an idea to get out of trouble. All these, just like giving him a white cloud, will float in his sky forever, making him happy, excited and full of vitality.

In the sky of my friend's life, there are such white clouds that I gave; In the sky of my life, there are countless white clouds of this friendship. I don't want white clouds to turn into rain, to cover the sun, or to produce miracles. I just want to see the white clouds often and let myself know that there is still friendship in the world. Give a friend a white cloud-like purity, a white cloud-like transparency, a white cloud-like life ideal and yearning, and he will live as freely as a white cloud.

14. Take your time (Wu Xinyu)

There is a bird, flying in the air. After a while, he came back again. But not the bird in front.

This is the day.

Time is a bird that never returns, so is time. Only when it is gone forever can people cherish it. Only similarity produces leisure. Zhu Ziqing wrote an article "Don't worry", describing life as a little urchin. I have been thinking, where can the days pass in such a hurry? Day is a bud in the garden, as if it has not yet opened. Days are dew condensation on fruits, which will not slide down. During the day, the sun shuttles between clouds, and it wants to have a rest. Time is not urgent. It will not be frightened, nor will it be afraid of harassment. Have the appearance of heaven and earth, have the heart of a saint. It won't run just because you run, it will stop when you stop, and it will fly when you fly. This is an eternal flow. Whether climbing a mountain or flying over a steep stream, they all show the same posture, chic and quiet. Suddenly, let the rise and fall of the world, share weal and woe, all become the past. The days are the smallest and the largest; The shallowest and deepest; Lightest and heaviest; The strongest and quietest. During the day, there were a group of ants carrying food, a group of mourners, and a row of light cavalry patrolling day and night. One day, in order to catch a big business, a super-rich man got into his super-luxury car and drove to his destination like lightning. But at the intersection, the speeding car was overturned by a heavy and slow truck. The rich man lay in a pool of blood with his mouth full of gold teeth. Days sent an Oracle through this golden mouth: life has no end.

Life is just a process. Why don't we relax?

15. Friend (Shen Wei)

A friend means that you can extend another warm hand, feel the light of love when you are helpless, and get peace and comfort of mind when you are anxious and lonely. Friends are brothers, sisters, companions and intimate friends, so should the ideal relationship between husband and wife (intimacy, protecting each other's loneliness). It seems that Eve and Adam are the archetypes of the earliest friends of mankind, and it is according to this example that God inspires the world and designs the future of mankind. The so-called flesh and blood is not only for the relationship between men and women, but also for the ideal friends: Boya broke the piano chord after Zhong Ziqi's death, Theo died a few months after Van Gogh's suicide, and Luo Yihe also broke the chord shortly after Haizi's martyrdom. A friend is the kind of person whose soul is connected with each other. The word "friend" in Chinese characters is quite meaningful. We can understand that two moons are sitting in the sky, taking care of each other and illuminating each other. Endless light is the link and bridge connecting each other! The long journey of life is full of sadness and loneliness. People who have no friends are people who live in darkness, and people who have no friends are real orphans.

16. Promise yourself (Christian D. Larsen)

Promise yourself that you will be strong, and nothing can disturb your inner peace; Talking to everyone you meet is healthy, happy and comfortable; Let all your friends feel that they have their own strengths; Everything can see its bright side, so that your optimistic creed can be fulfilled everywhere; I only want the happiest things and the happiest ending; Cheer for the success of others, just like cheering for your own success; Forget the mistakes you have made and strive for greater achievements in the future without hesitation; I will always wear a cheerful appearance and send a cheerful smile to every creature I meet; I will be too busy perfecting myself to find fault with others; Will be too open-minded to worry; Anger will be too expensive; Will be too tough and fearless; Will hold a grudge for being too happy.

17. Three elements of happiness

There are three indispensable factors for a happy life: first, there is hope. Second, there is something to do. The third is being able to love others. There is hope.

Alexander the Great once gave a big gift to show his generosity. He gave A a lot of money, a province to B and a senior official to C. His friend listened and said to him, "If you go on like this, you will be penniless." Alexander replied, "I will never be poor." I left myself the greatest gift. " All I have left is my hope. "If a person only lives in memories and loses hope, his life has already begun to end. Memories cannot inspire us to live vigorously. Memories can only make us escape, just like prisoners escaping from prison. Have something to do.

An old English woman, when she was seriously ill and knew that her days were numbered, wrote the following poem: Don't pity me now, never pity me, I will never work again, never, never again. Many people have been unemployed or have nothing to do and feel that life is slow and empty. Anyone who has had this experience will know that having a job is not misfortune, but a kind of happiness. Can love others. The poet Bai Langning once wrote: "He looked at her and she smiled back, and life suddenly woke up." With the love in life, we will become radiant, humble and energetic, and new hopes will emerge, as if there are thousands of things waiting for us to complete in Qian Qian. With love, life has spring and the world has become colorful.

The perfect prayer should be: "Lord, please help me to have the strength to help others."

18. Miss (Xu Zhihui)

Often miss some people for no reason.

When I think of some people, I always feel that my life has been cut into segments, and each segment is connected with some people. Without these people, life seems pale and poor, and there is no landing. But not only friends, people who are not friends, but even some people who hate them will often think of them, so life can be broken down into this: the people you love are separated; Some people you hate are separated; Some are separated by people you don't care about love or hate. Your life has been broken by these three people. You miss them for a long time, so you think your life is really full.

The faint thoughts are unknown, with the emotional color of the past, or love or hate, or thick or light or long or short. When I miss someone, I feel some inexplicable tremors in my heart, looming, trying to hold on tight, but fleeting.

When you miss those who slip through your life, all your love and hate are covered with a faint aura. Through the halo, you can see them again, and love and hate turn into a profound comfort to experience life.

19. God only holds half (Luo Qiuju)

From the moment you were born, you were destined to go back. The twists and turns in the middle, smooth and happy, are all your destiny. Fate is always with you all the time. Don't be afraid of its mystery, although it is sometimes unfathomable; Don't be afraid of its impermanence, although sometimes it comes and goes without a trace.

Don't bow to fate because it is grotesque and be at its mercy. When you are old and look back, you will find that half of your destiny is in your hands, and only the other half is in God's hands. Your life is to use what you have in your hand to get what God has.

The more extraordinary your efforts are, the bigger your half will be, and the more you will gain. When you are completely desperate, don't forget that you own half of your destiny; When you are on cloud nine, don't forget that God still has half the fate in his hand. Your life's effort is: use your own half to get the half in God's hand. This is the arrangement of fate; This is the fate of life.

20. Give life back to the process (Yu)

It is unimaginable that the Colosseum in ancient Rome needs to be rebuilt, the ancient city of Pompeii needs to be rebuilt, the Angkor Wat in Cambodia needs to be rebuilt, and the Mayan cultural sites need to be rebuilt. It's like we can't imagine that the ancient bronzes in the distance need polishing, the unearthed halberds need nickel plating, the books in the Song Dynasty need plastic surgery, and the old lady in the Han Dynasty in Mawangdui needs skin grafting, breast enhancement and heavy makeup. As long as history does not stop and time does not go backwards, everything will age. When you are old, give the world a kind of beauty peacefully. Pretending to be naive is the cruelest form of self-abuse. Grandma without wrinkles is terrible, and old people without white hair are sorry; Life without ruins is too tiring, the land without ruins is too crowded, and the act of covering up the ruins is too deceptive.

Let history return to reality and life return to the process.

-This is the great wisdom of mankind. Of course, not all the remains are worth preserving, otherwise the earth will be scarred. Ruins are messengers sent from ancient times to modern people and have been criticized and screened by history. Ruins are feats launched by our ancestors, which condensed the strength and essence of that era. Ruins are a magnetic field, extremely ancient and modern, and the compass of the mind is strongly felt here. If you lose magnetism, you will lose the life of the ruins and will soon be eliminated.
