Some people write fairy tales, some people write about starlight, but there are always people who write biographies for the thousands of secular worlds.
Life is full of vicissitudes, and the trivial things of nature cannot disappear, and they are all chicken feathers.
Life is firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea, it is the hot bed of the wife and children, it is the interpersonal communication of being in the world, and it is the search for promotion and fortune.

Xiaolin delayed the shuttle bus of the unit to buy tofu. Bus and forgot to put the tofu in the refrigerator, causing the tofu to go rancid, and quarreled with his wife Xiao Li for this.
When they were young, they even had a touch of poetry.
"Both of them are college students, and neither of them is without ambition. They have all struggled, worked hard, read at night by night, and have some grand ideals. If you don’t notice it, how could you think that after a few years, they will be like everyone else, and will soon be submerged in the dark crowd of the same people?” “
You also just buy tofu, go to and from work, eat, sleep, wash clothes, Dealing with babysitters and children, you don’t even want to turn a page at night, what big ambitions, what career ideals, bullshit, that’s what happened when you were young, everyone is like this, don’t you live your whole life? What’s wrong with having great ambitions? Yes What happened to the career ideal? 'Where are the ancient and modern generals, and the pile of grass in the barren mound is gone!'"
Running around and bumping into walls because of his wife's job change; helpless because of his child's going to kindergarten.
In the face of the nanny's unreasonable and repeated tolerance; conflicts with his wife for trivial matters in life.
In the past, they also had beautiful fantasies about life, but after all, they were forced by life and fell into the secular world. "As long as you act according to reason, life is like flowing water, and you can live it day by day, and you will be quite comfortable"...
In Liu Zhenyun's writing, his stories include the warm and cold in the officialdom; the trivial things in daily life; life; the underprivileged with the burdens of life oppressed.
In his works, there is sadness and joy. Tell the ordinary life and inspire the minds of future generations.
Life is alive, and the grass and trees are in autumn.
Even if life is a mess, should we stand still or move forward? Everyone seems to be following a path in their life, what they experience is just a variety of ordinary things, and the most important thing is what kind of attitude we should face it. Although the reality is cruel, the ideal in our hearts, Faith should also be the driving force that guides us forward...
so please believe that even if life is as ordinary as dust, even if life is sad, we should have the courage to "look up at the starry sky on a street full of sixpence".
Even if you live in a mess, please remember to look up at the starry sky occasionally.
