People are complex and changeable. Many people study hard in order to gain a foothold in big cities, but most of them will eventually choose to return to their hometowns and live a contented life. life.

Nowadays, more and more people choose to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city and choose to return to the countryside to live a quiet and peaceful life. Some of them cannot survive and retire in big cities and have to return to their hometowns. Some of them are true. Wang Qingsong is the latter who longs for the days of retreating to the mountains and forests. Originally, he and his wife were both teachers at Peking University, but the two of them with promising futures chose to quit their jobs at the peak of their careers and live the life of returning to the countryside as described by Tao Yuanming. Life, and it lasted ten full years.

Academic success, happy marriage

In 1957, Wang Qingsong was born in Xin'an County, Luoyang City, Henan Province. According to villagers, Wang Qingsong has been a smart child since he was a child. Unfortunately, his family He didn't have the conditions to study, so since he was a child, he often went to the White Horse Temple near his home, and martial arts accompanied him every day. Later, the local confidential bureau expanded its recruitment, because they did not accept the children of cadres, so Wang Qingsong, with his clever mind, quickly became a public cadre. Later, the college entrance examination was resumed, and Wang Qingsong, still full of desire to return to school to learn knowledge, joined the college entrance examination army.

In the fierce competition in 1979, Wang Qingsong was admitted to Peking University, one of the highest universities in my country. He chose the Department of National Affairs, which was related to his previous major. He was only twenty-two years old at that time, but he dressed old-fashioned every day. He often wore a neatly pressed suit, with the collar of his shirt tightly hugging his neck, even if it was only a few steps from the dormitory to the classroom. He always wears small leather shoes that are stiff and difficult to walk on. This may be because he has worked in a confidential unit, so he is particularly meticulous in dressing up. In the eyes of his classmates, Wang Qingsong has always been the image of a "veteran cadre". Even his teachers are sometimes intimidated by Wang Qingsong's aura. His teachers all thought of Wang Qingsong, and people around him respected Wang Qingsong.

Wang Qingsong loves learning even more after going to college. He likes to challenge different things and learn different knowledge. Therefore, although his undergraduate major was in national affairs, when he took the postgraduate entrance examination, he switched majors and entered law. After graduating from the master's degree, Wang Qingsong stayed at Peking University to teach.

In the 1980s, there was a health craze in China. Wang Qingsong, who had studied Laozi and Zhuangzi and studied martial arts to strengthen his body since childhood, naturally joined the trend of health preservation. Because of his profound knowledge and interesting lectures, Peking University specifically allowed him to open a health preservation class on campus. From then on, Wang Qingsong's reputation getting bigger and bigger.

Not long after, he met his lover, Zhang Mei. At that time, Zhang Mei came to Wang Qingsong's health class to join in the fun. She had just graduated from Beijing Foreign Languages ??School and was twelve years younger than Wang Qingsong. She was very young. But Wang Qingsong saw her at a glance in the crowd. Maybe this was fate.

Not long after, the two fell in love and established a relationship. Not long after, Zhang Mei also became a teacher at Peking University, and the "two people who were well matched" got married. After marriage, their life was still happy, and they became an enviable couple in Peking University.

Suffered setbacks and lived in seclusion in the mountains

Wang Qingsong has had a smooth journey along the way. His studies, career, and family are all very happy, but he is not satisfied with this. He wants to reach a higher level. At that time, Wang Qingsong continued his studies and took the doctoral examination, and he won the first place in both individual subjects and overall scores. But failed.

However, Wang Qingsong was unwilling to give up the opportunity to continue his studies, so he changed his direction and took the PhD exam in another major, but in the end he failed. The successive blows gave Wang Qingsong an unprecedented sense of frustration.

At the same time, Wang Qingsong’s wife failed to be promoted to lecturer for five consecutive years. So in 2000, Wang Qingsong and his wife made a decision that seemed very unreasonable to outsiders. They decided to leave Beijing and live in seclusion in the mountains. People around them thought that the two of them were just on a whim and would return to the city to continue living in the city soon, but unexpectedly, it would be ten years since they left.

After living in seclusion in the mountains, Wang Qingsong used his previous savings to rent 2,500 acres of barren mountains, and lived with his wife in this desolate place where even no weeds grew. Because they were far away from the city, there were almost no people living in the surrounding area, not to mention hiring people to come all the way to help them clean up the housework. At that time, almost everything was done by themselves. They built their own houses and reclaimed 40 acres of wasteland. , growing vegetables, grains and other crops, and raising pigs, cattle, sheep and other animals.

Overnight, Wang Qingsong and his wife seemed to have completely returned to primitive society and became farmers who engaged in farming and breeding. After living in seclusion, not only their lifestyle and Their appearance and their psychology have also changed greatly. After arriving in the mountains, Wang Qingsong no longer felt confused and empty. He got rid of his previous blind pursuit of academic achievement, explored his own inner world, and lived a paradise-like life isolated from the world.

Now, this wasteland has become a small world full of singing birds and fragrant flowers. They created a beautiful world belonging to them with their hands. The two lived very happily and soon had their children. In order to prevent the outside world from destroying the tranquility of the mountain, when their son Xiaoyu was born, they did not choose to see medical staff, but delivered the baby themselves. After Xiaoyu was born, he did not go to school and lived with his parents in the mountains.

But fortunately, his parents are intellectuals, so Xiaoyu doesn’t need to worry about Xiaoyu’s study convenience at all. His academic performance far exceeds that of children of the same age.

And in such a mountain forest, Xiaoyu may not be as happy as city children. At least he does not have to bear the competitive pressure of city children, and at least he maintains close contact with nature.

For the sake of their children, return to society

Although the life of seclusion in the mountains and forests is very happy, as Xiaoyu grows up, Wang Qingsong and his wife can't help but worry about their children's future life. They fear that one day when Xiaoyu returns to society, he will be out of touch with the outside world.

Therefore, out of consideration for the future life of their children, Wang Qingsong and his wife made up their minds to return to society a few years ago. However, during the ten years of seclusion, the two have spent up to 3.5 million yuan in savings, and they have lived a self-sufficient life all year round and have no additional source of income, so in order to return to society, they sell the vegetables and grains they grow. and farmed poultry to support the family's daily life.

After returning to society, they have not been out of touch with this ever-changing era, and Xiaoyu has a strong ability to adapt and quickly became involved with his new classmates. Now he looks like an ordinary child. .

Although Wang Qingsong and his wife have returned to society, they are still in seclusion in their hearts, and they are still unwilling to give up their previous seclusion life. Therefore, he found a perfect balance between the two and learned to use the Internet to sell the natural produce he grew. In this way, he can continue to live in seclusion in the countryside

Now he has established Green Dragon Villa near Miyun Reservoir and Heilongtan Scenic Area in Beijing, and it has unique and superior planting conditions, which allows Wang Qingsong grows better pollution-free green vegetables.

Occasionally he would bring his family to Green Dragon Villa to live for a period of time, where all the food they ate came from their own farm.

Now that organic and pollution-free food has become popular again, Wang Qingsong, who sensed an opportunity, took the sweet potatoes produced in the villa to participate in the "Gourmet Geek" tasting event and won first place. After tasting the sweetness, Wang Qingsong began to plan to cooperate with others to increase investment in Green Dragon Villa and promote organic agricultural products more widely.

Conclusion

Perhaps many people will say that although Wang Qingsong lives a contented life, they do not want to live such a life at all. Indeed, after living in a bustling city for a long time, it is very difficult to return to the mountains and start from scratch. Wang Qingsong can do it not only because he is smart enough, but also because he loves the life of retreating to the mountains and forests.

As for us ordinary people, we don’t need to imitate his lifestyle, let alone criticize his life philosophy. After all, life is our own, as long as we are happy.
