Today (January 17, 2016) I heard the very bad news that my high school classmate Liao Jun, who was my tablemate and friend before his death, passed away. This is the second bad news I have heard about my high school classmates in the past year www.biquge.info nearly a year ago, another of my high school classmates, Chen Jun, passed away at the age of 46.

So far, more than 10 people who were close to me in elementary school, junior high school, high school, university, and after my work have passed away, ranging in age from 25 to 46. More than 10 years ago, I wanted to call a junior high school classmate at the "China Financial News" in Beijing. He was a graduate student of a prestigious university in the 80s of the last century, and he was very rare, and he was destined to excel and have a bright future in the future. But he passed away, which made people shake their wrists and sigh. I have at least four experiences:

First, life doesn't start all over again. In the past, my colleague was busy interviewing people in various places, and at that time, the phenomenon of "death from overwork" was very common, and most of the people who died were young people in their 30s and 40s in the municipal offices, and she wanted to write an article calling for attention to health. It's just that at this time, it is the time when there are old and young, at this age, the years do not wait for anyone, or the officials are not big enough, and the money is not enough, so they can't make deals with teachers, classmates, relatives and friends; Maybe it's the materialization that creates people, we work hard for life, go with the flow, and we all want to fight hard and fight. "Health is priceless", "health is the greatest wealth", "the body is the capital of revolution"...... Nobody cares.

Second, no one is irreplaceable. In the unit, in the society, a person is inconsequential and dispensable, but for a family, one person is all and is the sky, and if there is no person, the sky will fall. The earth doesn't stop because of who dies. When people are gone, someone will replace them immediately, you don't have to take yourself very seriously, don't be competitive on any occasion, work tirelessly, and don't shy away from seeking medical treatment. A safety warning sign circulating on the Internet at the construction site, with the words "Once an accident happens, someone else sleeps with your wife, spends your savings, and beats your child", which is called the most ruthless slogan. That's what life is.

Third, do what you want (not a bad thing, of course). No one knows what will happen in the next second, if you want to do something, then do it now, sometimes, what you have to do will wait for no one; Sometimes, I can't wait for a day. The person I admire the most is Brother Liu, who was my good friend when I was at the "Bagui Metropolis Daily" and used to live in the same room. At the beginning of 2010, at the age of 46, he actually quit his job as an editor for 10 years, went to a mountain with no water and electricity to raise chickens and sheep, three years later, in order to fulfill a dream, he went to Thailand to work as a Chinese teacher for another year, and now, at the age of 51, he is back to continue to raise cattle in the mountains - green mountains and green waters, paradise, that has always been my dream. Peking University teacher Wang Qingsong and his lover and colleague Zhang Mei disappeared from this world for more than ten years, leaving everything behind in the early 90s of the last century and escaping into the mountains to find the "peach blossom source" in their hearts. This kind of Tao Yuanming-style "leisurely see Nanshan" indifference, who can do it?

Fourth, everything is fate, last year, only 33 years old, Yao Beina, who was dazzling in the "Good Chinese Singer", appeared on the Spring Festival Gala, and became a household name with the song "Tianyao China", died of breast cancer recurrence. Her father, Yao Feng, said that his daughter did not complain before her death, and once said with a smile, "All this is fate!" "Yes, we have money, power and relationships, we are not as good as business tycoons Wang Junyao, Guozui Luo Jing, actor and singer Anita Mui. None of them were immune. Sometimes it's really "sometimes in life when you have to have it, and sometimes in life you don't have to ask for it". It's fate, we don't hide, and we can't hide. It's just that "one house, two fates, three feng shui, four virtues, and five readings", we also have to struggle.

On May Day in 2014, the 28th anniversary party of high school classmates, Liao Jun also told me some past events, and now, that scene is still vivid, and his soul has returned to heaven. This world is so cruel. Cherish, cherish, in fact, the truth is very simple, everyone knows, but we are still the same, let it go. In the Tang Dynasty, Du Mu said in "A Fang Gong Fu": "The Qin people have no time to mourn themselves, and the descendants mourn it, and the descendants mourn it without learning from it, and the descendants will mourn the descendants again!" "A lot of times we repeat the same mistakes.

In the computer, Li Lin sang the song "What if you lose you, what if you win the world?" in a hoarse voice. ": What if I lose you/What if I win the world/The dream I once longed for/I will never understand/I lose you/Win everything but still be so cold. Yes, if I lose my health, if I lose my life, what if I win the whole world? Life is really fragile.
