Chapter 41: Going astray (1) 14. Going astray Shi Yalun is a tall young man with a well-knit suit, but his face looks a little pale.It is said that his father was just a small businessman, and had passed away long ago. There was only one sick mother left in the family, and no other brothers and sisters.He and Young Master Dou are classmates, everyone likes sensuality, so they often hang out together, but Shi Yalun doesn't take much of Master Dou's favor, on the contrary, when they play outside together, Shi Yalun always looks like a veteran horse who knows the way Leading him, and often paying bills for him.

Ever since Master Dou treated me that day and he met me, Shi Yalun seemed to always pay attention to me, and according to Master Dou, he often praised me in front of him. "Miss Jiang, let me introduce you as a friend!" Master Dou said to me with a grin. "Didn't you already introduce it?" I asked him with a sullen face.Because I know that the so-called "friend" in his sentence has a special meaning, so I feel a little unhappy.Unexpectedly, he laughed loudly and said, "So that's how it is! It turns out that you two are already in love with each other." I felt that this sounded even more unpleasant, so I turned and walked away.

But Shi Yalun was indeed looking for an opportunity to talk to me.At first I just felt that he didn't seem to be working hard, and young people shouldn't love to play too much.He laughed and said, "What's the point of working hard? I worked hard enough when I was studying in the Mainland. I studied engineering. I studied hard for more than half a year under a dim vegetable oil lamp. I ate mixed sand every day. There are only grains of rice, side dishes are often just a plate of vegetables or beans. But what happened? I fell ill. I suffer from a serious stomach problem, and I have a sore throat all the time. How can I continue to read this book? I don’t know how many young people’s health has been destroyed in the mainland, but they won’t be able to acquire any knowledge. They have suffered for nothing in the past few years. In the future, a diploma will not be particularly popular, and unemployment will still be the same! Thanks to me I figured it out, I took the risk and ran back to Shanghai, and I finally saved my life. At the same time, my thinking changed a lot, Miss Jiang, do you know that making money depends on skill and opportunity, so what’s the point of studying hard?"

I didn't think so, so I said: "But learning is for yourself, and you can't just talk about making money or not." He laughed and said, "So you think you will be happy if you have knowledge? But I want to ask: Are you here?" What kind of learning do you get here?" "I came here to live. Of course, I also know that there is no progress in learning." He said: "But you also know that life is more important than learning. To tell you the truth, I am empty of everything. Reading is hard work, and of course there is no joy in eating, drinking and playing. In the past, people were willing to study hard because of reading. We can seek fame and wealth. If we can still make money after studying, and achieve the purpose of eating, drinking and playing, we might as well study hard for a few years. But the facts tell us that this is obviously futile and futile. If we accidentally die, why do we bother to come?"

I felt disgusted again, so I snorted and said, "Is the purpose of life just to eat, drink and play?" He replied: "Probably the meaning of doing it is to serve the society. It should be known that the society is a collection of individuals. No one is superior or inferior. They should serve each other and have the opportunity to enjoy each other. Now everyone is eating, drinking and playing. But I have to study hard, hoping to serve them, and I can't care about the rewards. I can't learn such a sacrifice. Moreover, you don't know if people can give you unpaid services opportunity.” After a pause, he went on to say, “As for saying that reading is a kind of happiness, that’s a lie. If we look down on movies and have to sweep the floor and do laundry at home, then maybe we think It’s better to read books and be happy. Otherwise, hum, I don’t see virtue as lust. Once a poor scholar gets rich, I’m afraid I still want the beauty of the official family and the honor of wives and concubines? Tell you, Miss Jiang, people’s hearts are the same. Don't think that you are noble and others are despicable, or that you are noble and others are vulgar, and people's hearts are similar. If you become an expensive wife, you may still love playing cards, and you may not think about it. People who hold books all day long. One has to adapt to the environment. Otherwise, it will cause more trouble and pain. Miss Jiang, now I can say that there are two environments here. One is being Mrs. Dou, smoking and playing cards every day to entertain guests; The other is to be Miss Jiang, reading books to teach children every day, and fooling around with the boss's wife. These two ways of life are not easy to change in today's society. Whether you are Mrs. Dou or not, you have to love playing cards, and I believe you When the time comes, you will definitely really love playing cards; any hobby has a kind of fun in it. If you play more cards, you will naturally become interested in it, and over time, you will be fascinated by it. If you do Jiang Miss? Naturally, you have to read books, and it would be even more boring if you don’t read books, because your money and time do not allow you to play cards with them all day long. When a person can play cards in an environment, he will naturally become interested in cards; In an environment where people can read books, they will also become interested in books. But from my objective point of view, naturally reading books is not as good as playing cards, because the purpose of reading is to make money, and the purpose of playing cards is to win money. Hard work is not as good as making money Winning money by luck is comfortable and joyful, so there are far more people who love to play cards than people who read books, Miss Jiang, you just enjoyed reading books along the lake, isn’t that a lie?”

I was speechless, but I always felt in my heart that reading is a legitimate thing, and playing cards is an improper thing, although the joy of reading may not be worth playing cards. Shi Yalun also knew what I meant, so he said: "Your brain is not flexible, so you have conflicts and pains. Aren't you dissatisfied with the real environment? In fact, you still live well, eat well, and dress well. You Why are you dissatisfied? Because you feel that you are not the master of this place, you are dependent on them, which hurts your self-esteem. I know that people like you hope to live a peaceful and unchanging life. It is best to have a A job that relies on ability to make a living, does not need to contact people, and has a better salary every month. After living frugally, you can save some for unexpected use. But, miss, this era of stable currency may never happen Here comes again. At least in a short period of time, it will be difficult to achieve your ideals. What should you do? Naturally, you have to adapt to the environment, grab supplies to hoard them, so as to preserve the currency value. Maybe by chance, you can also get windfall profits .Isn't that great? But your mind is not good at change, you keep remembering the past when you were earning a decent salary, saving, saving, etc., and you feel that the way you used to live was justified, and the way you live now is not justified , What is the basis for judging this? The whole history is changing, it has been changing, and it will definitely change in the future. You have to change at the same time as society. If society has changed to the stage of hoarding, you still think It is legal to save money in the bank, then you will suffer, you have failed in outdated thinking. But it is not okay to go beyond the times. When everyone said that the earth is square, Copernicus insisted on saying that the earth is round, so He was sentenced to death, until later everyone regretted his death, and felt that his death was unjust, but his bones were rotten. Human life is only once, and once it is lost, it cannot be resurrected. The so-called death is still alive, but it is killing him. It means to say to everyone (who is still alive of course): Don’t hate us for forcing him to death. Now that his injustice is understood, he is still alive even though he is dead. How can Copernicus himself feel that death is the same as life? If he really thinks that this is a sacrifice for the truth and that death is worthwhile, then he is even more stupid, because he believes in the theory that the earth is round It’s not the truth yet. Now we have proved that the earth is an ellipse. In short, in my opinion, there is no other truth in the world. There is only one truth, that is, everything has changed. It is still changing now and will continue to change in the future. Change. If we want to live, we have to change according to the situation in the place, that is to say, those who know the current affairs are heroes, otherwise, I don’t need to talk about the result.”
