Yidu | People who love life never mind trouble

The refinement of life is the inner love and fullness for life, the sincere expression of every meal, every frown and smile in ordinary days.

People who love life have infinite passion for it. When it boils, they can ignite countless fireworks, and when they are calm, they can wait for the world's fireworks. Unconsciously, they emit light and attract all the beautiful eyes.

I remember when I was in college, there was a teacher from the School of Literature who always wore simple and elegant clothes, reflecting a sense of accomplishment in every movement and gesture.

She often invites her classmates to her house as guests to exchange and learn. Her home has always been clean and bright, even if it's been messed up by the children at home, she still has the patience to tidy up everything.

She likes to plant potted plants, and every morning after waking up, she calmly waters and loosens the soil on the balcony, then prepares breakfast and sends her children to kindergarten.

When classmates visit her home, she always prepares a sumptuous table full of delicious food, with corresponding side dishes for each dish, which is not inferior to the restaurant's specifications at all.

Once, because I was going to make a radish vinegar fish, I suddenly realized that there was no vinegar left at home, so I insisted on going out to buy it under the scorching noon sun. Classmates say it's too troublesome, but she says how can it be troublesome?

In fact, it doesn't matter whether you make this dish or not, or if you try a different method, it will still be a delicious dish, so you don't have to go out and buy it. But for her, such a small regret is a perfunctory gesture towards her classmates and a way to make do with life.

And she has always been passionate about life, how could she tolerate such regrets, and how could she find life troublesome?

People who love life have a calm smile towards every blade of grass, every tree, and every meal, which makes people suddenly feel that everything is sunshine.

A person with a rich heart and a love for life will appreciate the differences in the world with tolerance. I appreciate both the poetic beauty of not eating the smoke and fire of the human world, and the worldly stability of daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, and salt.

When Du Fu was in Chengdu, he was in a state of decline, but he wrote many famous works. Although there are only a few thatched cottages, material scarcity cannot stop his fighting spirit.

Du Fu, who lives in a thatched hut, wrote in his poem "Jiangcun": "The Qingjiang River plays a tune that embraces the village flow, and everything in Changxia Jiangcun is quiet... My old wife draws paper for a chess game, and my young children make fishing hooks by tapping needles

Between the lines, there is no complaint or dissatisfaction about poverty, but rather a sense of contentment and leisure.

Creating one's own "exquisite" life has nothing to do with money, it is an attitude of loving life, not feeling troublesome and making do with everything. Even if you eat a simple bowl of noodles or a simple dish, you should pay attention to the pairing of the dishes.

Maintaining a refined lifestyle at all times is a person's dignity and respect for oneself.

Thinking of an old man, Zheng Nian. She is a graceful and beautiful woman from China for nearly a century.

The catastrophe of the 1960s and 1970s affected her. She was imprisoned, facing a crude and dirty place every day, enduring various atrocities.

Nevertheless, she still tried her best to make her place cleaner and more comfortable. She left some of the originally limited rice for each meal to make paste, and stuck the toilet paper on the wall so that the blanket wouldn't get dirty from the dirty prison.

Her room is always swept clean. Under such difficult conditions, one can still borrow needle and thread to sew towels into toilet pads and use them as covers to prevent dust for storing water in washbasins.

Despite such difficult conditions, she still lived slowly and earnestly, experiencing the flowers blooming and falling around her, and experiencing the warmth in every detail.

A person who loves life with all their heart, no matter where they are, never despises the trivial troubles of life, and always leads a poetic life in front of them.

Most of the beautiful things in life are free. So stop using 'no money' as a cover for perfunctory living.

With a loving heart, create stable happiness, blend trivial and ordinary things into daily necessities, and fill them with poetic and picturesque beauty in a balance of intensity. 

The trivialities in life are not always troubles, sometimes they are instead small moments of joy. May you also find your own simplicity and delicacy amidst the hustle and bustle of the world.
