Chapter 6 my LV life

"Long Vacation" is an old Japanese drama, I still remember the English name on the poster is Long Vacation.To mention this past event first is entirely to save space, because instead of abbreviating "long vacation" to "long vacation", it is more convenient and refreshing to abbreviate Long Vacation as LV. During the year, we have three LVs, and the most recent one is the "May 1st" seven-day long holiday.Here is a brief report on my vacation activities during this LV period: at 3 pm on May 1st, a group of friends and I drove from Guangzhou. Hours later, we arrived at Xinhui, the hometown of Mr. Liang Qichao.The place is known for its natural scenic spot "Bird's Paradise", and "Bird's Paradise" is also famous for the article "Bird's Paradise" written by Mr. Ba Jin after his tour in 1933.After witnessing the flocks of tired birds returning home on time amidst the exclamation of hordes of tourists, they returned to the hotel, took a shower, ate and drank, took a bath, ate and drank again, and went back to the room. Fall asleep in the farce.When I woke up at noon the next day, the sun was blazing outside the window. A climber who had gone out came back and told in amazement: "Up and down the mountain, flags are flying, tourists are like weaving, and the mountain is roaring with tsunamis." He continued HBO, and returned to Guangzhou in the original car after dinner.After midnight snack and returning home, when I was in the shower, I suddenly felt the hatred of "travel boring", but I comforted myself that vacation is still happy, and travel is also educational. Bird Paradise" refers to a local nightclub.So there was nothing to say all night.

On the evening of May 2, I received a call from my mother in Shanghai, reporting that on May 1, my mother, father, and my sister’s family went to Suzhou for vacation. To sum up, in this past LV, my father, my mother, my sister and I all had a smooth vacation. They all ran away from home for 24 hours or more, and all slept in strange beds overnight. The driving distance from Shanghai to Suzhou is similar to that from Guangzhou to Xinhui.At the same time, this also means that some members of the Shen family were included in the approximately 310 million passengers transported by road transport in China during the "May 1st Golden Week". 16 people were killed and 29 people were injured in the 7 major road transport safety accidents that occurred across the country during the May Day Golden Week—of course, this is not the problem.What feels wrong is that none of us actually "should" be LV people.

My father, my mother, senior retirees, and my sister, have been laid off for a while after a fake retirement.Although I haven't gone through any retirement procedures like the above-mentioned direct blood relatives, I haven't gone to work for several years.To be precise, it's not that I don't go to work completely, it's just that I haven't taken any serious classes in the past few years, or I have taken some intermittent classes intermittently.Although most of my work is done in my own home, this does not prevent me from having deep doubts about the word Soho. I always believe that it is a group created by the nine-to-five family in depression. It is a delusion of self-anesthesia, which is not entirely due to the fact that "going to work" and "working" and "not going to work" and "not working" are two different things. "Or "provide your own study room and bedroom to your employer without a taste", it also means that a Soho person also enjoys the same LV power as an office worker (the words "common" and "same" Here it mainly refers to enjoying the "synchronous" power of LV).

A few days ago, I discussed the so-called "best state of life" with Mr. Cai Lan at the dinner table, and finally reached a consensus: it is not good to go to work; , Or if you want to go, you can go, if you don’t want to go, you can’t go, a heaven that cannot be separated is hell.Obviously, the reason why I refuse to go to work but love work, and I dare not retire and doubt Soho is nothing more than my relentless pursuit of the above-mentioned "best state".However, I have discovered more than once that in front of every LV, this kind of pursuit is broken every time, because as soon as LV arrives, I have to go out for vacation like an office worker, or in other words, after LV comes At the time, it was when my self-positioning was the most chaotic, and it was LV who asked me to check in for it regularly every year, turning me into an office worker. I hate LV.

Because writers belong to a kind of LV that has nothing to do with people, Roland Barthes believes that a "writer on vacation" is also a kind of popular mythology: "Its (vacation) mythological development will be an interesting pursuit. Vacations, which at first belonged to the school world, have become part of the proletariat, or at least part of the working people, since holidays also pay wages. To emphasize that this phenomenon is relevant to writers, it is emphasized that these explorations of human Spiritual experts are also limited by contemporary labor phenomena, and we have to convince our middle-class readers that they are up to date." I have never tried to cut myself off from working people, according to the newspaper, in the three major annual There are actually many working people who were "forced to run away from home" during the "Golden Week".However, instead of criticizing the "policy long holiday", it is better to honestly admit that, as Barthes said, holidays are a "very pleasant" social attribute. The pleasantness of LV, or the so-called "transfer", is not only to restore office workers to vacationers, and to restore working people to "non-working people", especially because it can restore writers to working people and retirees to For office workers, and let me, a believer of "the inseparable heaven is hell", convert to "one must-have vacation is to go to work".Although I also write for a living, I am not, at least not, the kind of writer Barthes refers to as Gide.Among the people who regard vacation as work, the only ones I can compare with are those politicians who engage in "vacation diplomacy".
