Tell me about the city I live in.

The place where I live now is called Wangcheng, Lei Feng's hometown, which was a county near Changsha in the early years, and later merged into Changsha and became a district. Many years ago, Wangcheng was vast and sparsely populated, relying on the development of several relocated military industrial enterprises, and now there are not many places where people gather, compared to the large area of land here, the people who live there are really very few.

The best thing to do is the urban planning, the wide and straight roads, not too many cars, the city's roads are horizontal and straight, all of which are neat and square. Since there is so much land, the government has been attracting investment on a large scale, and on the other hand, it has built parks on a large scale, built comfortable paths around the lake, planted various trees, and built public toilets that are more beautiful than villas.

In the early years, when I had not settled here, I went to the lake to see the night view, and saw a neon-lit building on the other side of the lake, which I thought was the villa of the rich family, but it turned out to be a public toilet - a story I mentioned in my essay a few years ago. The public toilets are a bit old now, and when I think about it, it's one of the reasons why I decided to settle here. Half a year ago, my wife and I went to another lake next door, which was bigger and had just been built, and my wife pointed to a beautiful building by the lake and said, "If I have the opportunity in the future, I can contract it and make it into a studio or an art museum......

Why is it above, I looked at it carefully for a long time: yes, yes, it's like this again......

If you come from Changsha by car, most of the places you pass through are modern and desolate, and one by one the beautifully repaired communities, even if they are grouped, they still seem to be lonely villas. Separated by large fields, orchards, and construction sites, if a relatively lively street suddenly appears in front of you, it probably means that this is the former village. Most of the factories passing through are famous, and the names on the exterior walls of the construction site are also: China State Construction, Hutchison Whampoa, etc.

There are also beautiful commercial areas like small towns, most of the brands in the commercial area are world famous brands, there are also handbags of tens of thousands of yuan, and many brands are discounted. There are all kinds of restaurants and movie theaters, but there are not many customers, and my wife and I occasionally go to watch a 3D movie on the big screen. Eating a set meal for two people in a beautifully decorated Korean barbecue restaurant with only a few tables of guests only costs a few dozen yuan, and walking through the villa area with a package selling price as low as more than 3,000 square meters but no occupancy rate in the evening, I suddenly felt that the world was really wonderful.

This is a city that is growing too fast. In the early years, I used to stay up late. The biggest problem with sleeping during the day is that there are always all kinds of noises outside the window, and there are firecrackers every day, and shops are open. Site construction. The building was capped, crackling and rumbling. In such a city, facing straight roads and clear Tianzi grids, I occasionally feel that there is a little less breath of people, but now I can only find such a breath in the most densely populated old streets in Wangcheng and near the old family area of the military factory, which is relatively narrow. The roadside is full of old trees, and students come out of the campus at the end of the school day. The car still has to be restricted, a Japanese-style community like a house, there are courtyard walls, there are yards, the old walls are crawling with vines, when I first met my wife, we walked the dog here, the branches and leaves of the loquat tree emerged from the courtyard wall, the stupid dog ran back and forth, and there were electric motorcycles on the road suddenly driving by.

Then one day the stupid dog ran around on the road and killed the car. Unfortunately, I don't know it very well.

I have a lot to say about this world, and the opposite is true for life. The world is too simple, and life is too complicated.

A few years ago, I first liked to listen to a symphony, Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D major, and until then I couldn't understand the charm of this pure music, but one day - probably after watching the movie "Symphonic Life" - I suddenly fell in love with it, listened to it many times, and started listening to other pieces.

In this iterative process, one day I suddenly realized that the symphony expresses the most complex emotions, some people have experienced a lot of things, a lifetime of joy, anger and sorrow, and even beyond the joy, anger and sorrow of more complex things - just like when you are old, one day you recall the past, everything in the past is not in the joy, anger and sorrow, at this time, extract a fragment of your mind and make music, people with similar complex moods will resonate, it is such a complex thing.

I don't know what the textbook explanation of the meaning of symphony is, but I think that all high-level art, and the corresponding mood, may be such a complex thing. It is difficult to describe in words, and if it is in words, it will take millions of words, and it may be more convenient for the reader to go through all of it, to describe the music, to describe the paintings, to extract that little bit of inspiration. Of course, there are places where words are convenient to express.

Maybe this kind of complicated thing is life.

For the world, let's talk about something.

***********

Let's talk about the stolen posts first, this is something that happened a few days ago, and it was supposed to be the subject of this birthday essay.

A few years ago, the reason for the ban on stealing stickers in the son-in-law bar will not be elaborated.

It was about the beginning of April, I was still sweeping the grave in my hometown, a young man named Wu Rongkui, an intern reporter in the southern city, suddenly came to me, saying that he wanted to learn from me about the story of the sticker theft incident that happened a few years ago, I was out of various delays, tired to death, and said that I would give him an answer after I went back, but then the other party collected the information himself, sent some to me, and asked if it was true, I took a general look at it, and said that it was true. Soon after, because of the arrival of World Copyright Day, the news about the situation of Baidu Tieba piracy became the headline of Southern Metropolis Daily.

When the news was published, I was busy with some other things in Changsha, and that day Wu Rongkui reporter sent me a message, which was Baidu said that it would rectify the reputation of the pirated content of the post bar within 12 hours, I looked at it, and suddenly didn't know how to answer, and then replied with a sentence: "Wait and see the follow-up, I don't know why it involves piracy, I always feel that there will be a very ironic ending, but how to do it." Thank you for sending such a piece of news. ”

Later, of course, Baidu did not rectify. They pretended to be rectified, and they did not put the stolen posts at the top, and I tell people that as a person who writes essays, this is a really interesting result.

Then, there were people who stole the post to show off their might, and they came to my Weibo. Or send me a private message, or @me, and show me a screenshot: "I've stolen your book again." "It's also a lot of fun. However, compared to five years ago or three years ago, there are really too few such people. They probably wouldn't have thought of it. For the possibility of being able to beat piracy within ten years. I don't expect anything, they have been stealing before, and they are stealing now, how much can I lose? They stole ten copies at a time, did I make a dime less?

But in those few days, I suddenly wanted to talk to some readers in the past few years, and say something very pretentious.

Five years ago, the son-in-law posted a ban on stealing stickers. Boycotted by many, three years ago. Baidu came out for the platform of stealing the sticker, and took the initiative to jump the link to the son-in-law DT bar, three years later, they issued an apology and rectification statement, they did not rectify, but the trend is slowly getting better. Although slowly.

Back five years ago, these people frantically abused readers who supported the genuine version, Jian Suyan, NT, and every owner of the post bar, scolded outside, scolded in private messages, and said that they violated their democratic rights and interests. Three years ago, Baidu made a move, and the readers in the bar appealed, but the final result was not good, and many people were very frustrated. Now, three years later, how many people have left here? In five years, because of reading a book, because of a trivial matter, coming out to speak, and later because of abuse, because of frustration, and even being distracted from the enthusiasm in their hearts, how many people are there?

Every part of the innocence is resisting a world of adverse currents, in the past five years, in the small range of the son-in-law, in the small range of the theft, the trend is slowly getting better, this is not because of me, because of the reason why many people speak. Although its changes are not as exciting as in YY's novels, most of the changes in the world are nothing more than such trends. Even so, that day I suddenly felt that it was a pity that those "naïve" losses and those frustrations appeared.

I really want all the frustrated people to see such a change.

Five years on, I don't see any possibility that piracy will disappear in the near future. One thing that is interesting is that I don't hate piracy at all, whether it was five years ago or now, five years later—I must be on the opposite side of it, I must advocate for genuine copying, but I don't hate it, I almost never get angry about the existence of such a thing—we live in an era of rampant piracy, and a country and society that has taken advantage of piracy is really accustomed to it. But I can't see a world where ugliness is beauty, distortion is pride, a few years ago I saw a lot of such people appear, even now, if you go to a post bar called "Son-in-law DT", you can see such people.

The son-in-law has been writing for five years, readers go to stay, and new people often appear, and recently because of the reports of the southern metropolis, the book review area has become popular for a while, and some readers have come to ask, the author actually scolds? Will scold people's mothers. There are also some people who read pirated copies and deliberately pretend to be ignorant readers to ask. Here's a word of confirmation, yes, that's how I cursed.

Things started five years ago, and when the son-in-law posted it five years ago, it led to a large number of shameless people coming out to defend their "rights and interests". I am a person who likes to debate, and occasionally I have time to write books, participate in debates, and write hundreds or thousands of words. Several things happened at that time, one of which was: someone posted a post scolding a friend for killing the whole family, probably saying that you are not the author, what qualifications do you have to come out and anti-theft posts. I came out and said, I'm here now, can I ask you to die the whole family? They took screenshots - just my words, of course - and circulated them that the author had cursed people as evidence that they were looking at piracy.

The second thing is that at that time, there was a reader who said that Banana was actually such a person, and he didn't give me free books, and I had been reading you wrong, and then said that he had burned all the pirated books he had been buying, my pirated books, and he burned my pirated books, of course I haha, and then there was a screenshot, saying that Banana actually didn't pay attention to readers.

This thing is only recently.,I suddenly heard someone break the news.,It's very interesting.,Although I've always heard that what update group is very arrogant.,But I've never seen it in the matter of the son-in-law.。 Recently, someone said that the post of burning pirated books was deliberately made by the Daybreak Update Team. They tried to rob their son-in-law, but in the end, they didn't succeed.

The third thing is. One day, after debating with a piracy supporter for a long time, this person suddenly said, of course I know that what I said is not logical, I just deliberately messed around and wasted your time, hahahaha. I thought, yes. With such a simple logic, how can people with normal IQ really think that stealing posts is their interest? Twisting the logic of twists and turns. Saying such and such things, their purpose is nothing more than one, I want to see your piracy, and I have to be at ease.

Since then. I will not debate at length. Especially in these years, writing takes more and more time. If someone takes some extremely simple questions about right and wrong, and turns eighteen turns, my hospitality, that is, four words, my seriousness, cannot be wasted on fools and bad people.

The so-called quality refers to a person's quality. Be sensible and know right from wrong. Having a stance, being able to persevere, these things, are qualities. No swearing, never.

I'm not angry at piracy, it's everywhere, and I didn't even expect that in ten or twenty years my book would be free of piracy, and then I would get a lot of profit. Over the past few years, people have asked me to speak out for the ban on piracy, some I have agreed, some I have refused, and that is not what I am after.

Many of us think about the world very complicated: "If you want to defeat piracy, you should ......", "This thing must be done by the ...... of the state", "The core of this matter lies in the national XXOO......", everyone talks about it like a leader, I have experienced such a time, but then suddenly one day I realized that the world does not work like this.

We - as stated by everyone - are ordinary people, even ****, the power of each of us is one, and the upper echelon with the power of determination, his influence, may be 100 million. Suppose a leader wants to do something, he will listen, it is never what **** says, how to do it, he will only look at people's awareness of this matter, urgency, if there are many people who really need this, he will add strength, and then, how to do it, that is an expert business.

When I was young, I always wanted to change the world, thinking that if I found a certain key point, I could do something. Later, I realized that I was only one, one in 1.4 billion, and the changes in the world could only look at the "one" one by one to pile up. Piracy is not important, right and wrong do.

Suppose there is a person who looks at piracy, and today the state or any organization knocks down a pirated website, and they silently go to find the next one, such a person has no moral deficiency. And when the state or any organization knocks out one, runs out to speak, and proves the correctness of this piracy in various ways, it must be a lack of morality.

In the next ten or twenty years, as long as you want to see it, pirated websites may exist, but as long as you know that piracy is wrong, maybe in 20 years, our next generation will live in a society that respects intellectual property rights. And there is no hope for those who distort right and wrong just for the trouble of searching once or twice or searching.

Of course, the world is complex, but it is simple, everyone's words, everyone's right and wrong, may not make the world better, but if you want to have this possibility of getting better, the so-called ****, you can only put one-four-billionth of yourself on it.

It's never exciting, it's hard to be impassioned, it's just the only way we can go, to magnify the power of most people to the extreme, it's only one in 1.4 billion, we can't see the change clearly, but the world will count it.

I occasionally talk on Weibo and comment on something, and some people say that bananas are going to become public knowledge, I post a picture or story of family life, and some readers come out and say: "How good it is to post these, the public knows that I dare not take it." "Some people say that it is not easy for bananas to persist for so many years. Actually, this and that is what I want to say, I have never disobeyed my will, and there is nothing "not easy".

*************

I used to want to write a book because gorgeous words can make dull things generous and boring things vivid, and I didn't think that writing an essay at the age of thirty-one suddenly became dull again. Because one day when I look back, the world is so simple. A hard work, a harvest, no shortcuts, seriousness will win, those surging stories in books and movies, unspeakable excitement, always have to start from the foot step by step.

However, life is complicated, and those laws and principles will always surprise us. You can get used to it when you're in a hurry, and one day, it becomes a topic of conversation that you're proud of, satisfying, or sometimes empty. I used to be a child, but in the blink of an eye, I was over 30 years old.

One day at noon at the end of April, my wife and I went for a walk by the lake, the sun was very good, the wind was very strong, it was warm, the waves were crashing on the shore of the lake, my wife and I were resting on a bench under the tree, and a boat not far away from the two girls was blown by the wind from time to time, and the two of them stepped on the middle of the lake again. I occasionally had a headache when I was writing, my wife asked me to lie down and help me press my head, I took my glasses, and a group of children came from not far away, played noisily on the nearby lake, and went farther away.

My wife and I were talking to each other, and when we opened our eyes, the wind was blowing on our bodies, and the sunlight was shining through the trees, and it was vague, and there were not noisy voices and wind voices near and far. I suddenly remembered the summer vacation when I was a teenager, I had just graduated from junior high school, I borrowed a complete set of Sanmao complete works from my classmates' house, and read books at home every day, at that time I lived on the second floor of a house, the bed was facing a big window, and there was a Tsubaki tree outside the window, in addition, I could see a large sky with clouds floating in the sky, I finished reading "The Story of the Sahara", lying on the bed, looking at the clouds outside, and the wind was lazily blowing through the room......

Since then, I have been exposed to the complexities of society, and when I saw the more complex world, throughout the twenties, I tried to see all this clearly, to see the laws of social working, to see clearly what kind of things are possible and right. I've never had that moment when I didn't think about anything in my head.

That's when I wanted to stop.

I can't tell you how it was like to be at that moment, so I'm going to record it first, and that's probably the most complicated thing in a symphony. A few years ago, I would imitate Haruki Murakami and write sentences like this: "As long as XXXXXXX, people may be saved." "I don't understand them very well, but maybe - even in such a chaotic and complex world - at some point in the future, we can go back.

Don't be in a hurry to damage yourself.

Sincerely, respects.

May 3, 2016. Angry bananas.

(To be continued.) )

PS: Even if I used to live in a, I don't want to try to be a shell.

Encourage you all.
