After class, Teacher Chen was going to find a few more students to do a teaching research, including Zhang Jingwen, who found Teacher Chen's office at the appointed time.

Teacher Chen smiled and beckoned Zhang Jingwen to sit down, and asked about her learning situation after coming to school, as well as suggestions and opinions on painting.

Zhang Jingwen: "Teacher Chen, I won't tell you anything, I am a very poor student. ”

Teacher Chen: "This is absolutely impossible. ”

Zhang Jingwen: "But it's true, I didn't study my homework well. Perhaps, I really can't. ”

Teacher Chen: "I think you really can, and you definitely can." ”

Zhang Jingwen: "Why, do you count?" ”

Teacher Chen: "I have taught countless students, and this judgment is still there, or rather, it is because you have a different vision from others. ”

Zhang Jingwen was stunned: "Huh? Gaze again? ”

Mr. Chen: "Let's not mention this for now, let's talk about your suggestions for painting." ”

Zhang Jingwen thought for a while and said: "Teacher Chen, you are an expert, but I really don't know much about art, to be exact, I basically don't know what I am good at, and I don't know what I should learn in order to suit my future development." ”

Teacher Chen smiled: "Young man, it's not surprising that you can't find the direction, take your time,"

Do you have any advice or experience? How did you get into art? Jingwen asked.

"It's a long story." Teacher Chen also handed Xiaowen a cup of tea, he took a sip of water himself, and said:

"When I was young, like you, I didn't have any hobbies, and no one in my family knew art, but inadvertently, I found that I had a talent for painting, and when I was interested, I learned it with my heart, and I didn't feel bored, so I painted for decades."

Zhang Jingwen asked curiously: "So, where does the talent come from?" ”

"I've been thinking about this question for a long time, but I don't know the answer yet. If you have to find an answer, you can only use Buddhist reincarnation to explain, what you learned more in your previous life, and you learned more well, then, in this life, you may have talent in this area, and you will be more interested in learning. ”

Mr. Chen continued, "Of course, there is no scientific basis for this, but I really can't find a suitable way to explain it. ”

"Do people really have reincarnation?" Zhang Jingwen asked more curiously.

Teacher Chen said: "Any kind of philosophy, common saying, or religion can only explain part of the social phenomenon, but it cannot explain all the problems. I don't know if people are reincarnated, but it can be used as a hypothesis for logical reasoning. ”

Teacher Chen took out an old photo and handed it over, it was a black and white old photo, Zhang Jingwen looked at it carefully, it was also a teenage girl, and she looked a little like herself.

"Who is she?" Zhang Jingwen asked in shock.

"She's my grandmother, it's been over ten years since she died, and seeing you reminds me of her again, this is an old photo of her when she was young, and you look so similar."

"Oh, that's right."

"There are many people who look alike, but there are very few people who look similar. And your gaze is even more similar to hers. ”

"No wonder you're staring at me."

Teacher Chen said: "Let's move on to the topic at the beginning, I suggest that you study literature, history or philosophy, etc., maybe you will be interested." ”

"Why? I don't know anything about any of that. ”

Teacher Chen said: "People with similar eyes may also have similar interests and hobbies. My grandmother was very interested in this. ”

Zhang Jingwen: "Well, it makes sense, maybe that's true." ”

Teacher Chen: "There is a record in the historical records: it is said that there is a kind of bird, if it does not fly, it will soar into the sky; If you don't make a sound, it's a blockbuster. ”

Zhang Jingwen said with a smile: "Teacher Chen, I really can't do it, and I can't rush to the sky." ”

Teacher Chen: "In the first half of my grandmother's life, she made no achievements, but after the age of 60, she found her personal interests and hobbies, began to read through history and literature, and later published more than a dozen novels. ”

Zhang Jingwen: "This is a blockbuster, can you borrow me two copies first?" ”

"Absolutely." Teacher Zhang got up and took out two books.

Zhang Jingwen took the book and looked at the title, one is called "My Dream" and the other is "The Road to Heaven".

"I'll read it carefully."

After saying goodbye to Teacher Chen, Zhang Jingwen returned to the dormitory, threw the two books aside, and sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, thinking about it, but she was bored again.

Boredom is usually a matter for adults, so why am I bored too? And it's often been the case lately. Could it be that I've grown up too?

Why are people bored, why are animals not.

Animals are foraging for food all the time, and if they don't forage for food, they will die, so how can they be bored.

In ancient times, people and animals, like animals, worked hard all the time in order to survive, and if they didn't work, they would die and have no time to be bored.

Once people don't have to worry about basic living conditions such as eating and drinking, boredom will arise.

Children, seeing everything is novel, usually not boring.

When I grow up, I get used to these new things, and boredom comes.

In today's world, people have moved away from the stage of struggling for basic living conditions, so boredom is the norm.

What to do if you are bored? Just go to the place of novelty, to the place of dreams.

At this time, Zhang Jingwen heard a song in the distance;

Every wave dreams of throwing itself into the vast embrace of the sea;

Every bud longs to touch the blue skin of the sky;

The first little birds, all praying for the vigorous wings of an eagle;

The first student should have a magnificent life without regrets.

Again:

Dreams are not ahead;

The light of dawn has been faintly illuminated;

I seem to have heard flowers blooming;

It was the light of a prairie star.

Zhang Jingwen: The song represents my heart, my eyes have been cast into the distance, even if it is far away, I have no hesitation!

Another day, it happened to be Sunday, Zhang Jingwen was idle and bored, and remembered what Li Mengran said, so she dialed Mengran's phone and made an appointment to go to the wonderful place.

They drove to a mountain peak, which was called "Dingtian Peak".

Then stop at the mouth of a cave, and the mouth of the cave is written with three big characters of "Wangtian Cave".

Zhang Jingwen followed Li Mengran into the cave.

The cave is very spacious and bright, the flowers and plants are fragrant, the water is murmuring, all the stops, everything is available, like the water curtain cave in Journey to the West.

Zhang Jingwen said with a smile: This "Wangtian Cave" is a good place, I really don't know what is the beauty here? ”

Li Mengran: "This cave has been built for many years, because there is a natural pit facing the sky in the cave, which can put a super-large radio telescope, so the cave is named Wangtian Cave." ”

Zhang Jingwen: "What can you see?" ”

Li Mengran: "You can see the gaze from space. ”
