Chapter 36 thirty-fifth missed decade

Jie Chen has a friend who has known him for many years named Shen Shizhu. Shen Shizhu likes to draw cartoons very much. Although he has not received professional painting training, his painting level is quite good. Benefactor Shen once said that he liked drawing cartoons because he was influenced by a cartoonist surnamed Wu in the provincial capital.That was when Benefactor Shen was very young, and Benefactor Shen went to the provincial capital with his parents to visit the exhibition of the cartoonist's works.Benefactor Shen said that he liked Benefactor Wu's works the first time he saw them. After returning home, Benefactor Shen began to study by himself according to Benefactor Wu's picture album.

It should be said that Benefactor Shen is quite talented, and he has drawn high-quality works under the condition of complete self-study. Benefactor Shen longed for the life of a cartoonist, and once had the idea of ​​becoming a professional cartoonist.When Benefactor Shen was in high school, he once collected his works and planned to mail them to Benefactor Wu. Benefactor Shen hoped that after seeing his works, Benefactor Wu would be willing to accept him as an apprentice, so as to make his career as a professional cartoonist smoother. Benefactor Shen's works were not mailed out in the end, because Benefactor Shen spent too much time on comics, so that his grades in cultural classes were very poor, so Benefactor Shen's mother was very opposed to benefactor Shen drawing cartoons.

Benefactor Shen's mother belongs to the more traditional kind of parent. She always thinks that studying hard, going to university, and finding a stable job are the best ways.Engaged in artistic occupations such as painting and music, Shen's mother felt that she was "doing nothing." Benefactor Shen's mother was very nervous when she knew that Benefactor Shen wanted to be a cartoonist, always feeling that her son was about to go astray.She directly withheld Shen's works, so that Shen could not mail her works to Wu. For this reason, Benefactor Shen and his mother had a long dispute.In the end, Benefactor Shen still compromised with his mother. He gave up the idea of ​​looking for a teacher from Benefactor Wu, and obediently walked on the life path arranged by his mother.

Benefactor Shen didn't get into college, but he still found a good job, which had nothing to do with comics.Benefactor Shen has always been unhappy, and his heart has always yearned for the life of a cartoonist. A few years later, Benefactor Shen, who had never had anything to do with comics, found a job as an art editor for a magazine by chance.Because of this, Benefactor Shen went to work in other places, and Benefactor Shen's mother did not stop him this time. On the one hand, she also knew that her son liked that job, and on the other hand, that job was considered a stable and good job.

After Benefactor Shen left the town, his work went smoothly.Another year later, Benefactor Shen sent an email to tell Jie Chen that he had unexpectedly met his idol, Benefactor Wu, and benefactor Wu saw that Benefactor Shen was studious and had quite good painting skills, so he decided to accept Benefactor Shen as his apprentice. When I received the letter, I was very emotional.Jie Chen feels that the experience of life is very wonderful.This year, ten years have passed since Benefactor Shen planned to mail his works to Benefactor Wu. Just as Benefactor Shen was getting farther and farther away from his original dream, fate made a big circle and pushed him away again. towards the life trajectory I yearn for.

While rejoicing for Benefactor Shen, I can't help but feel a little regretful about quitting anger. How many ten years are there in life?Life is like a fleeting moment, passing by in a hurry. For us, ten years are very precious.Thinking about quitting anger: If there was no stop from Benefactor Shen's mother back then, Benefactor Shen would not have missed a full ten years. During the Chinese New Year, Benefactor Shen came home. When he went back to work, he took away the works that his mother had withheld.Benefactor Shen said that he was going to take these works to show to Benefactor Wu.

When Benefactor Shen wrote to Jie Chen again, he said that benefactor Wu laughed when he saw his works of the year.Benefactor Wu said that Benefactor Shen's works were very immature ten years ago. If Benefactor Shen had mailed these works to him back then, he would definitely not be willing to accept Benefactor Shen as his apprentice. The letter from the benefactor Shen surprised Jie Chen again.Jie Chen even thought, if Shen benefactor was rejected after mailing his work back then, would he lose his faith in his dream because of the setback? Jiechen discovered that the original trajectory of life was only moving in the direction it should be.Sometimes, we leave with regrets, feeling that fate is playing tricks on us, making us miss countless opportunities to make life better.In fact, all these regrets are just assumptions, and the vast majority of what we miss does not belong to us.In other words, they are destined not to appear on our life path.And we, time and time again, sigh for these imaginary beauties, and even lose the sense of happiness we should have. Isn't this the most ridiculous thing?
