Yesterday, someone updated this sentence of Kitano Takeshi in a circle of friends. As always, there is only the first half of the sentence, but there is no reflection on life and death in the second half.
Maybe she knows too much about death.
She works in an unknown cancer hospital in Fiona Fang hundreds of miles away from us, which means that all kinds of deaths happen in front of her eyes.
Once in a chat, she told me:
"I have seen a middle-aged man hiding in the corridor a few meters away from his father, stuffy head, waiting for his father's death, just because there is nothing he can do."
"I have seen the old man with my own eyes. From the first day of admission, all he saw was the nurse and no children. Only money, no affection, he died fearless, but he didn't have the courage to leave. "
"I have seen successful people regret before they die,' I live to be myself in the eyes of others, but I can't live myself.'
"I have seen it. . . . . . . . . . "

People cannot live forever.
Even if he lives forever, he will feel lonely and bored, because he does the same thing every day. Just like that sentence-some people died at the age of 27 and were buried at the age of 72.
It is precisely because of fear of death that I prefer to live cautiously, worry about the future and be timid in reality, dare not accept challenges, and are even more unwilling to work hard for myself. We would rather be mediocre than live a more "practical" life.
Instead of pursuing such immortality, it is better to pursue another immortality ... symbolizing immortality.
Although your body has turned into the dust and soil of the world, your spirit, your identity and your honor are handed down from generation to generation in the words and words of the world, which is symbolic eternal life.
For example, Lao Tzu rode a green ox out of Hangu Pass, leaving the Taoist ceremony "Tao Te Ching".
For example, Wang Xiaobo wrote one book after another in the golden age, and everyone has his shadow when writing love letters.
They are immortal because they live in our hearts and inspire us.
The value of life lies in that we can live a different life in a limited life and make life hot.

Life becomes hot, but it's actually more like gambling.
Every time you gamble, you gamble on your future.
No one can say whether you will win or lose, you have to rely on yourself.
Think about it, the college entrance examination with thousands of troops crossing the wooden bridge only depends on yourself, reading over and over again, reciting over and over again, and summarizing over and over again. In order to get the notice of the university in my heart.
Bitter? Bitter, but self-reliant, very fulfilling.
Complaining that you were born in a big college entrance examination province instead of Beijing, complaining that you are a Han nationality rather than a minority, you can't get extra points. Why don't you complain that you didn't win the Olympic math prize? That can also get extra points.
Yes, that's on your own. It's hard.
However, when you work hard, the victory will get closer and closer, and life will get better and better.
If you are strong, all the difficulties are insignificant.
If you are brave, you will take a dangerous detour.
On your own, stick to it. Escape from the fiery life.
Because, our goal is the sea of stars!
