White Yan Song: Happiness Begins with ‘Quiet’

Author: Zhong Yan Yan

People always have to learn to respect life only after experiencing great sorrow and hardship.

How long has it been since you last looked at the stars?

Du Fu said: Dew from this night is white, the moon is bright in my hometown.

Every time I think of this sentence, I always miss the stars and moon in my hometown.

The stars and the moon are so bright in my hometown and in my hometown only because we look at them with a quiet heart.

The same star, the difference is the mood when looking at the stars.

In today's fast-paced life, it's hard for us to truly stop and wait for our souls to rest.

It's hard to look up at the stars and contemplate our lives on a moonlit night.

White Yan Song said:Whoever is not calm will not be happy

He served as a substitute at the East China University for the last lecture, and the last lecture was held at his home. The lecture focused on fun, starting with 'quiet'.

White Yan Song said: I am happy for the students

He drank Kung fu tea with the students, but with one condition:

Thirty minutes, no one is allowed to speak.

In the extremely quiet atmosphere, the tea fragrance gradually spread out.

Outside the window, the sound of birds was particularly crisp, and the ticking of the clock inside was particularly clear. These sounds were often ignored by the younger generation.

Because we always move too fast, busy with work, busy pursuing dreams, busy with love, marriage and having children.

We rarely truly slow down, listen to our own inner voice, and rarely have a deep conversation with our inner self, asking ourselves what we want, and whether we are happy.

I don't know why, thirty minutes passed, but no one spoke.

White Yan Song said:

They may have already tasted the taste of 'quiet', I believe, whoever is not calm will not be happy.

Life is like tea, slow down and savor it, time is like a song, quiet and listen.

When students graduate, White Yan Song will give them a set of 'Inheritance'. On the cover, he wrote these two lines of text.

This is not only his own understanding of life, but also his best wishes for the students.

Life should always do some seemingly useless things, listen to a quiet piece of music, watch a particularly lyrical old movie, drink tea with a few friends, or bask in the sun, or read a book in the sun. These seemingly useless things are the most enriching our lives.

Life is rare and idle, the more idle, the closer you are to your soul.

In 2014, White Yan Song gave a speech at Xiamen University, the theme of the speech was 'Do some useless things.' Later, this speech was included in his work 'White Says'

In the speech, he mentioned France.

It is well known that France has a month-long holiday every year. The French people fiercely defend this holiday time.

They would go to a quiet place with their families to daydream. When daydreaming, it's time to return to their inner selves, and at this time, they best understand life.

They think it's okay not to earn much money, but occasionally idle, is a deeper understanding of life.

But in our country, few people truly stop to let our souls be lost on the road.

We always rush forward, the burden of life is like a big mountain, making us unable to breathe. We dare not stop because there is no way back. But the more we rush, the more we lose ourselves. Sometimes we go too far and forget our original intentions.

Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang starred in the movie 'Journey to the West', at first I just thought it was a silly and funny movie.

But after watching it again, I realized that it was everywhere the grievances and frustrations of adults.

Xu Zheng plays a toy company president, he is really 'successful'.

But is he really successful?

From a worldly point of view, maybe, but from the perspective of marriage and family, he is a complete failure.

He betrayed his wife, had an extramarital affair with a young girl;

He was irresponsible to his family, his elderly mother needed care, but his daughter's class teacher couldn't recognize her;

He was always busy, flying around the world, he dared not stop.

Even when returning home for the Spring Festival, he still couldn't put down his work. Xu Zheng's businessman is the same as most middle-aged people – he is under a lot of pressure and basically in a 'family-oriented, children-focused' state, he can't even take a break.

The more busy he is, the more he loses himself. So he and Wang Baoqiang in the Spring Festival homecoming journey is a self-redemption process.

Wang Baoqiang's role is an ordinary milkman, but he is truly realistic.

He knows what he wants, even if he is owed wages by his boss, he can still face life with optimism.

This ability is the most precious wealth a person can have, no matter how much material he has, it cannot be exchanged.

The end of the movie, Xu Zheng returned to his family, he confessed his extramarital affair to his wife, his wife hugged him, saying: 'Come home'

This scene is particularly touching, he is finally a lost child has found his way home.

At this moment, he was calm, and he was also clear-minded.

He no longer chased those illusory things outside, he wanted to slow down and spend time with his family.

The extramarital world is like a colorful and illusory world, tempting us at any time. If we cannot be self-disciplined, we cannot be calm, and if we cannot be calm, we will never be happy.

British playwright Ruth Weiss wrote a long novel 'A Pilgrim's Progress'. Harold, a man in his late years, never listened to his inner voice, he was stubborn and stubborn, his life was a mess.

His son died of depression because his father didn't love him; his wife couldn't forgive herself, and their marriage ended in a stalemate. But when he went to visit his sick friend on foot, he gradually regained himself.

Because on this road, he has always been talking to himself.

It's rare to have such an opportunity to slow down and talk to ourselves, to have a good chat with our friends, when our hearts are quiet, happiness is just beginning.

Don't let the fast-paced life completely occupy our lives, even if we don't stop to listen to the birds and insects, listen to love words, maybe we won't live so awkwardly.
Don't let yourself rush through your life, sometimes take a break, listen to a piece of music, watch a movie, accompany your loved ones to chat about recent events, when your heart is quiet, happiness will just begin.

Don't let your life be completely occupied by the fast-paced life, even if you don't stop to listen to the birds and insects, listen to love words, maybe we won't live so awkwardly.
