Chapter 53: Essay "Fifty-Three"
This year, the TV station has broadcast various reality shows, unlike last year's singing shows, I think it may be because I am tired of saying "dream", and this year I have a little "real".
Watching the show, I often can't help but have this thought: It's too contrived! But in the dead of night, I asked myself: If I had to do it, would I be able to act real? I am very good at introspection and constant thinking, so I live a hard life, and sometimes I feel tired.
So I wondered a little again: was the actor not real enough, or was I in the play and didn't know it? Finally, think about it, in fact, we are all actors, playing various similar roles, and the difference may be whether the acting is good or not and who the audience is.
In recent years, on the basis of the double-digit development of Chinese along with the Internet, some popular "characters" have been produced, which have gradually become the mainstream of society, such as "female hanging silk", "female man", "foodie", "second goods", "comics", "two forced youth", "literary youth", "public knowledge", "five mao", "professor", "expert", "master" and so on.
Although the status of some characters is a little awkward, no role seems to be more awkward, as if abandoned by this era. As a result, we can't wait to label ourselves or others with all sorts of labels. The benefit of this is that everyone can get into the character quickly, as everyone is busy and doesn't have much time to waste showing or learning about their true attributes.
The term "female man" is definitely a big step forward in the history of Chinese development, much better than "man mother", although the literal meaning is similar, but "female man" has more positive nature than "man mother". There are also many girls who like to play foodies, most of the men who call themselves "foodies" are basically fat, but the women who call themselves "foodies" are in good shape, and then I finally understood that their so-called "food" has two main uses: one is to take pictures; The second is as a reason to lose weight.
Girls before the age of twenty-five are all literary and artistic youths, and their favorite words are "Time is like flowing water, and you will get old if you are not careful"; Girls between the ages of 26 and 30 are young people, and their favorite words are "If you don't go crazy, you'll be old"; Most of the girls after the age of 30 have become spiritual teachers, and their favorite saying is "As long as the heart remains young, it will never grow old". Wrong! This sentence is what men after the age of thirty like to say, and girls after the age of thirty are the most unsightly to see the word "old". For me, a person who is about to run for three, I really like the phrase "as long as you keep your mind young, you will never feel old".
The roles that many men like to play are roughly divided into three types, one is the "public knowledge" category, which directs the country and talks about big and small things at home and abroad, and the other is the "dream" category, which often talks about Jack Ma, Jobs, and Buffett; There is also a class of "masters", all kinds of special functions, all kinds of ideologies. Can someone ask: Why do you comment on men so much? Because most of the men as actors are powerful, their acting skills are basically in place, and there is nothing to say, while women mostly belong to the idol faction, and their acting skills are relatively hehe, so I have to make people complain a few words. But no matter whether the acting is good or not, as long as you act happily, just like those reality shows, if he is happy, you can watch it happily.
So don't be too entangled, in fact, each of us is just a trickster, based on this disturbing world, we can only play our own "role" and successfully complete the drama of life. But remember not to forget the original intention, you have to always.
