I was originally going to write an article about construction, and I was about to finish it, but I didn’t know how to write it down. In the back and forth, we are always calculating, finding faults, filtering out faults, and battling wits and courage with various "evil forces". However, we never expected that this kind of mental and physical exhaustion is subtle and accumulates over time. At a certain moment, I looked back, but it was foggy and white. In the next article, I will share with you the "fight of wits and courage" thing.
I live in Cheung Chau Island and often pass through the university town. I found that I have always ignored an interesting phenomenon. I believe friends who have been to university towns have seen colorful iPhone 5C advertisements posted on bus stop signs. I kind of understand Apple’s starting point: universities are colorful, passionate, and people who pursue individuality but are short of money, so the iPhone 5C will definitely sell well in university towns. But unfortunately, I have never seen anyone using 5C, no matter the university town or the friends around me. It is really interesting why everyone, whether they are rich, handsome or losers, have abandoned 5C.

The first time I watched this movie, I fell asleep and didn’t finish it. The second time was after almost two months, and I was feeling really bored without watching a movie, so I turned it out to kill time. If you are too idle, I suggest you take a look and have some fun.
Just like a movie like "Forrest Gump", you have to be patient and it will show its fascinating charm. Among Wolves is about a child who is abandoned by society and eventually befriends the forest and wolves, even though he is later brought into modern society, only to return to the forest.
I think this movie is consistent with a certain part of my ideal. Even though it's a bit unrealistic, I'd like to give it a try.
I hope to have a small residence in the deep forest, hidden in the dense forest, living beside the stream, with a cave that is just enough to protect me from the wind and rain. There are no electric lights, no mobile phones and computers, no newspapers and push messages, no cars and houses, no well-cooked food and beer. It is a "dangerous settlement" that humans fear, with nothing. There is only nature and wilderness, everything depends on nature.
What the forest gives me, I humbly accept, and what I take away, I dedicate with both hands.
Every morning, I go to the hunting ground and prepare carefully. I harvest enough food for one day and return. I never ask for more or store anything. It only hunts prey smaller than itself and follows the rules of the biological chain. Possessiveness is the catalyst for human development, and I must give it up. After drinking enough, we began to get to know the forest, looking for every opportunity to get to know the animal residents here, hoping to establish a harmonious relationship. The main thing is that I hope that they are not afraid of humans first, and that they should feel that this is a member of the general animal population, with nothing to be wary of, and I will never occupy their territory. I should even learn to smell the animal's body odor and urine to determine who the owner of this place is.
In the afternoon I will look for a cool, dry and warm place with dappled sunlight to start meditating. It is rare that I have such a quiet space, where I can enter meditation seriously and quietly. When the sun sets and the forest will be submerged in darkness, I will consciously return to my settlement, leaving the forest to the animals that love the night, while also providing safety to both parties.
The next morning, I will definitely accompany the sunrise, welcome such a fresh, clean and pleasing day, and go to my hunting ground again…
If I want to do the above, I need to learn a lot, and these are skills that have been slowly abandoned by our ancestors, ha! ! It's exciting.
You are all following the trends, putting on elaborate makeup, buying high-end suits and watches, taking pride in who can identify more wines, taking pride in learning five cars, taking pride in your crystal clear skin and weak body, taking pride in driving 180 kilometers without changing your face, and taking one phone call to light up the whole company for days and nights as courage. But I am not like this. I study more like returning to my original nature. I am working hard to learn what my ancestors gave me thousands of years ago.
First of all, I need to exercise my physical fitness so that my limbs can redistribute energy enough to climb and run fast, jump over small streams, and avoid being afraid of heights and shaking in trees; then I need to exercise my keen hearing, learn to listen to shrill whispers, master high-frequency sound segments, and reject the roar of cars, the sound of electric drills, noisy conversations, symphonies, and famous songs, all of which should be noisy. Furthermore, I need to learn archery so that I can decisively and without mercy shoot down rabbits and gophers at a long enough distance, with the same iron-heartedness as animals hunting; I also need to learn to identify plants, at least to give myself simple healing, and recognize which of them are deadly and which ones are safe to eat; I also need to learn to camouflage and sew to avoid danger, and to keep myself warm and sheltered from wind and rain; finally, I have to learn to get along with each other. In any case, this is nature, and I must please it and accept its suggestions and arrangements.
This is what I hope, but based on reality, after all, I am a person who loves society. Even if it is unfair, at least it is complete and gives me food, clothing and a certain degree of freedom. There is also a wonderful family and life and business. Therefore, a comprehensive strategy is needed. I should also have a first aid kit. It contains GPS positioning and some compressed dry food, detoxification tablets, etc. If I really need it, I can find a car a few kilometers away from my residence with more complete equipment.
If possible, I will spend one or two months every year returning to the forest for further training and study. Although this is a waste of time, I think the gains should be more. Then he walked out of the forest with a sloppy beard, trimmed it carefully, and then went to work.
The story is over, let’s return to the most realistic problem. You have to have money to live such a life. You need to have enough free time, and be able to ensure that your family and children can eat in a leisurely way without working during this period. After returning to reality, you still have to make money first.
I share this story with you just because I want to share one thing with you: everyone has some very spiritual pursuits, and they may not necessarily realize them. If conditions permit, you can realize part of them, just think of it as an attempt.
Once I was driving on the winding mountain road in Deqin late at night. The endless darkness seemed to swallow me up. I felt that people are really so small, so small that they can hardly hold any courage or achievements for themselves. Even though I'm a little scared, I still like it very much. I can't see the brightly lit places anymore. All I can see is darkness. The night is like this. And you, how long have you not seen the dark night?
