Chapter 69 Will also be impressed by Sven

This is my last column, and I will no longer write it either in China Business News or in other media.I've written here, "My only remaining ambition is to reaffirm common sense," and that's what I'm aiming for in these columns.A hundred years is not enough to reiterate common sense, but it is not difficult, and it does not necessarily require anyone to do it.I also feel that a little bit of my talent is not here.In my early years, I read Su Shi's "Theory of Punishment and Reward for Loyalty and Honesty", which is an ancient classic, but it was really boring. Later, I read "Dongpo Zhilin". mistake.I can't help but regret what a pointless thing a brilliant mind has done.In contrast, "Former Chibi Fu" is a masterpiece of elegance and ease.I think this is a lesson from the past, and writing articles should still be about writing what you are really good at.

When I was young I wanted to write novels, which was not a dream, because to write a novel you just sit down and start writing.My dream is to write good novels.Then my life became so hard that I had to write a few lines and put it down, decrying myself, this is nothing compared to Joseph Keller!At first, I just wanted to support myself and avoid being regarded as useless by my relatives and friends. I started working as a reporter. Slowly, my hate of injustice and my sympathy for others were stimulated, and I turned out to be a very professional media person. .Most of the topics in these columns are related to social life, and they should also be counted as derivatives of my journalistic career.

Even the attempt to "reaffirm common sense" comes from my media experience.Around 2004, "Southern Weekend" opened a small column called "Common Sense".Internally, everyone said, why do you open this column?Deng Ke explained the relationship between this word and Thomas Paine.As far as I can see, this is the beginning of many domestic media now regard the word "common sense" as the standard. In today's America, even apples and aloe vera are more energetic and confident than those grown elsewhere, but in 1776, the country was not even a shadow, and the people were a bunch of bumpkins, fighting with the King of England, and their hearts were beating their drums with fear .Paine published it that year, a 50-page booklet.Paine said a lot of truth, "government, at its worst, is an intolerable evil", "monarchy means our own degradation and failure", and so on.This book is better-selling than Guo Jingming's, with an average of 5 bumpkins buying one copy.The United States and the United States Constitution were born under its inspiration, and it also ranked first in the "20 Books That Changed America".

My point of view is that although common sense is common, it is actually precious and rare, and only when it is regarded as necessary can it radiate true power.On serious occasions, Americans must say "We the people", and it is not easy for "people" to take themselves seriously and as treasures.In grand seasons, we often say "We, the common people", and sing "I'm so happy today", which is similar in semantics, but completely different in terms of value.Most of our common sense is another kind, "money is not everything, but without money is absolutely impossible", etc. Although common sense is common, knowledge is not so common, it is nothing more than sophistication.Our common sense is not so superior, nor is it so robust.

If I can do it, I would like all these columns to be reduced to ashes, in exchange for this sentence lingering in your heart for a moment: the common sense of a country should not be the helpless "nothing but that", but that we are willing to deeply understand it with our hearts. Agreed "as it should be". I am a pessimist at the level of life, so I have a lot of emotions to express in the novel; I am also an optimist in public life. rise.Knowing to see a doctor when you are sick, instead of eating human blood steamed buns, is a level of public wisdom; the spirit of independence and free thought are another level of public wisdom.The road between the two levels is dangerous and difficult. It is the true nature of a literati to write a few innocent and funny articles for this purpose, otherwise the book will be read in the stomach of a dog.However, due to the aforementioned personal reasons, I want to resign from you, and I believe that common sense will be passed on.

At the end of "Lanting Preface", there is a saying, "Those who read it later will also feel the gentleness"-people in the future will also feel a lot of emotion when they read this article.What an elegant and bold attitude.I have no such extravagant hopes, but I hope that when I read these small articles in the future, I won't shake my head and sigh: It's all written in vain.As sincerely as I wish my own balls, I wish my country and my people the time they deserved.
