A young girl with relatives and relatives drifted to visit me.I think of her grandfather, who treated me very well back then, but has passed away for eight or nine years, and I can't help feeling sad and sad.While talking with her, I noticed that she was dressed very fashionable, her hairstyle was "boys don't cry", short and messy; The "Sister Beibei" style platform shoes worn on the feet.She came here to collect articles commemorating her grandfather so that they could be included as an appendix in a collection of her grandfather's essays to be published.Her conversation is quite decent.But when I talked to her, I couldn't help but look at her, and even if I didn't think about her clothes, I felt more and more awkward about her face with pale blue eye shadow and gray crystal lipstick.The matter was almost finished, she casually asked about my health, and I couldn't help but use the topic to say: "There are no major physical problems, but there are many psychological problems. Maybe I am old. For example, dressing like you is To be pretty, or to be cool? I can’t appreciate it. I also know that this is a kind of fashion. But why do you have to let the fashion follow you?"

The girl still smiled after hearing my criticism, and said politely: "Fashion is the wind. No matter whether it is facing the wind or against the wind, people will inevitably live in the wind." The girl left and left, leaving me alone on the sofa, lost in thought.I wanted to "Sanniang teaches the son", but I didn't expect it to become "the son teaches the third niang". A few days ago, a young girl with relatives and relatives drifted over to visit me. Her attire was quite pure.But she talked about some ideas that have arisen recently, such as wanting to try sexual liberation, and even drugs, so as to "enrich life experience" and become a "new new human being", etc.I sincerely gave her a few advices, including cherishing my virginity, and not "tasting" even the so-called "minor" drugs like marijuana...all of which I believe are the basics of being a human being in this world Bottom Lines of Ethics and Behavior.She called me later and thanked me for caring for her.

There are many young girls, even if they are all urban white-collar workers, it seems that there is a big difference.What looks pure is on the verge of losing its purity.Those who seem to be pretending to be "cool" have a clear heart. Not only do they not need my advice, but they also give me philosophical inspiration. A few days later, I tidied up my closet and suddenly found some old pants at the bottom.A pair of woolen blue trousers was my favorite 40 years ago. The trousers with that blue color and texture are now extinct; , but why haven't I abandoned it?It reminds me of my shy first love, and at the same time, it also bears witness to the worldly winds I was bathed in at that stage of my life.A pair of army green trousers that were probably new, with a very fat waist, did not fit my slender figure 30 years ago. I recalled that I had to work hard to get them.At that time, "national defense green" military caps, military uniforms, military trousers and even military water bottles were all very popular. How could I stay out of that aesthetic trend?There are also two pairs of flared trousers, which were purchased 20 years ago in an excited mood. At that time, I was 38 years old, but I was immersed in the posthumous posthumous title of "young writer". I remember wearing trousers with flared open The extremely exaggerated one, swaggeringly visited the senior who supported me, that is, the grandfather of the young girl who now comes to my house in platform shoes to solicit my gratitude for him.When I recalled it carefully, the eyes of the senior looking at my bell-bottomed trouser legs, showing surprise and displeasure, reappeared in front of my eyes, but at that time, he probably held back the criticism that came to his mouth, and did not say anything about it.

man in the wind.The wind is irresistible, and sometimes it is irresistible.Wind happens for a reason.When the wind blows, the wind will have the truth of the wind.Sometimes it doesn't make sense.The wind is the wind, and when it comes, it means it will go.What freezes is not wind.The wind is always changeable.The wind is both visible and invisible.The wind that was predicted to come may never come.The unexpected wind will come suddenly.The trembling of a butterfly's wings on the far side of the earth may blow a gust of wind here.The wind blown with great effort may only have the effect of fluttering the wings of a butterfly.The wind is pure and light, but also treacherous and heavy.Sometimes people should go with the wind, and sometimes they should fight against the wind.Dressing up, eating habits, and hobbies, in these general categories of secular life, following the wind is not only blameless, but also helps to improve the interest of life. For young lives, it is more likely to be superfluous energy Benign catharsis.Some winds belong to the rising sun; some winds are designed to accompany the setting sun.Good wind brings vitality to life; bad wind brings disaster to life.For a person like me with a lot of experience, it is a kind of love and responsibility to give some advice to the young people to guard against the bad wind.But you can't have that kind of blind self-confidence, that is, you believe that your own vision and judgment are always right.Some winds, in fact, do not matter good or bad, just a gust of wind, just let it blow.So I remembered the bell bottom pants at the bottom of my wardrobe. Why didn't I wear them again?Then he thought of the old man's eyes, and his finally did not squeak for the bell-bottoms.Regardless of seniors or young people, their attitudes towards wind are worthy of my deep thinking and appreciation.
