I'm not a writer, I'm just a storyteller.

The story is not long, and it is not difficult to tell, if you walk in, please listen carefully.

There is always a journey in life that you need to complete alone, regardless of family, friendship or love, and then we find out what it really means to be "alive" in this journey of life.

In February 2017, I had the pleasure of reading Mr. Yu Hua's work "Alive", which can be said to be the most shocking and noble novel I have ever read.

The book tells the story of a great era, with some social changes, Xu Fugui's life and family continue to suffer, and in the end, all his relatives have left him one after another, and the only remaining little warmth in his life has been shattered again and again by ruthless death, and in the end, only the old man and an old cow are left to rely on each other.

I'm sure the vast majority of readers read it with tears in their eyes, just like me.

The story revolves around the repetition of "death", magnifying the depth and breadth of the protagonist's suffering to bring readers a strong sense of shock and resonance to a certain extent, but the novel ends with a dialogue with an old cow, which shows that life is even more precious.

The will to walk in this "Alive" has also won high international awards one after another.

I wrote this book because I got an inspiration from a hawthorn tree by chance.

Robert Capa, a well-known American photojournalist, once said, "Work like an ant, live like a butterfly," and I was very moved by the phrase "live like a butterfly."

None of us can deny that Butterfly is a romantic poet and lifer, and when the darkness comes, she will experience the pain of breaking out of the cocoon into a butterfly, and she deeply understands that this road must be walked by herself, and if she uses external forces she will definitely die.

Finally, she went through all the suffering, singing, flying, picking, and successfully found the other side of the flower, leisurely.

So we sang and praised her, and tried every way to describe her with all the words of beauty, but at this time we forgot that it was this attitude to life that we needed.

This way, we are walking too fast, for the so-called "future", keep running forward, maybe you have lost your original innocence, maybe you have lost your original happiness, maybe you have become the appearance you hated the most, tired? Tired! Then stop!

Stop and think about what life is for, and then keep moving in a good direction.

Maybe you are at a low point in your life like me now, maybe your road ahead is full of thorns, but friends, don't be afraid, please wipe away your tears, you must know: life is constantly sublimated in suffering.

So, calm down, listen to music, travel, go to see old friends who haven't seen you for a long time, and then savor the scenery along the way, let yourself live a little easier, a little poetic, and then from tomorrow we will live and love like butterflies.

Friend, maybe I don't know your situation, but I am willing to be your eternal listener, if your life is also unsatisfactory, please tell me, let me share with you this unhappiness that does not belong to you!

I am grateful to the society, to the literature, to every reader and friend, and to my parents for all this. I am your friend: the light rain of September, if it gives you a hint of solace in my text, please tell me, you know:

In this world, there are really people who are living the life you want, who can work from 9 to 5 and wander the world.

I would like to dedicate this article to every one of you who is lost on the road of life, and I hope you can find your own direction in life as soon as possible, facing the sea, and the spring flowers are blooming!

After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to start this book, I just hope that you in front of the screen will benefit a lot from seeing this article like me.
