Zhu Xuedong, the first batch of tasting officer representatives, senior media people, food and wine columnists, believe that reading books and drinking, like drinking, are a very good way of life, accompanied by book friends, food and wine, Zhu Xuedong uses the way of recording "flowing accounts" to advocate "seriously living every day of the rest of his life".

Zhu Xuedong mentioned: "Reading can bring us to the infinite distance, going back to the ancient times and down to the future. The way I am in three provinces and three provinces is actually to reflect on my past day. There are friends, books, wine, take every day as the last day of life, life is naturally beautiful. ”

The following is the full text of the interview:

Sohu Finance: How to spend a day of life?

Zhu Xuedong: My life is very fixed, every morning I get up to write a journal, buy vegetables, cook, and then take a twenty-minute nap, write brush writing, read, do some chores, clean, go out to drink at night, go home after drinking, and read more books if I don't drink much.

Before October 2021, I slept from one to two o'clock at night, and now it's changed to eleven:30.

Sohu Finance: Why do you like to read?

Zhu Xuedong: Because I used to like to read, now I am idle, and I also think that reading is still a very good way of life, just like drinking, it is a good way of life.

When we see social problems, we go to the book to find out how to solve them abroad and how similar situations in history have been solved. Of course, it is not to propose a solution, purely to know why this happens, to know how it will evolve after it happens. This logic can be achieved by reading a lot.

Two days ago, I wrote a sentence in the circle of friends, "Reading can make us go to the infinite distance, time can go back to the ancient times, and we can trace the future." So I think the benefits of reading are very, very much.

Sohu Finance: What kind of books do you like to read?

Zhu Xuedong: The books I read are relatively biased, historical, social science, including political science, psychology, sociology, this year has added a lot of literary works, of course, I also have a lot of reading is poetry and song, I can't write, but I like to read, this is a personal preference.

This year's recommended books are actually quite a lot, foreign books I think if the first place, must be a non-fiction work of Nova Publishing House, called "She is from Mariupol", telling the story of a Ukrainian German, searching for a family. There are also many original good books in China, I recently read "Goodbye to the Shining Stars: Twenty Tang Poems" written by Teacher Jing Kaixuan of Nanjing University, which is also a very good poetry theory, Teacher Jing's text itself is very clean, and I like the books he wrote before.

In the limited number of novels I have seen, I think that Shinan's "Ordination" is still quite good. It is a story of revenge, although it is a Chinese revenge, but it is far more than a Chinese revenge, and the ending is a little black humor.

What is even more frightening is that the descendants have no idea that in history, the children of the enemy have been married, but this marriage is not a beautiful thing like Romeo and Juliet, it is based on a door-to-door pair or material interests, so the final outcome is also more sad.

Sohu Finance: Why do you have to write a journal and write a brush every day?

Zhu Xuedong: This is a self-discipline, which we call self-discipline. It is easy for a person to indulge himself, it is easy to fall, and once he does such a thing, it is in itself a kind of self-cultivation for me personally.

First, I write a journal every day, not only to record my daily life, but also to fight against forgetting, good memory is not as good as bad writing, write down what I have done, what kind of people I have seen, what kind of books I have read, it is not easy to forget.

Second, when you write a journal every day, you actually come to reflect on whether you should have done well in the past day, which things were done wrong, and which things were completely wrong. The lesson that should be learned from whom is that in fact, in the past, we talked about my three provinces and my body, and wrote the flow account had such a function.

Third, for me, writing a journal is basically a practice pen, idle writing and writing this kind of miscellaneous notes, diaries, writing more of this ability to control the text will also increase a lot.

So many people ask me the basic skills of writing, I said is to write more, when talking about this problem in the lecture, I will suggest starting from writing a running account, slowly enrich yourself.

Brush writing for a few years, I think there is still progress. This kind of thing is entirely a personal self-amusement, or positive to a little power, called self-discipline, to be done every day. By now, I have formed a habit, and if I don't do it, I always feel that there are many things that are not completed.

Sohu Finance: There is a self-disciplined side to your life, and we also see a dashing side.

Zhu Xuedong: Many people think that I am very arrogant and indulgent. For example, there is a very harsh self-discipline, generally there is no such self-discipline as me in the workplace, and at the same time, there is a more indulgence that others cannot understand, drinking, indulging without consideration, and rotting in the wine tank every day.

Of course, people are also very strange is, "Like you, the first day to drink like this, the next day why should I do things early and do it, and then drink at night, how can I do it?" "I said I don't know, maybe because there is a self-discipline side, if you are completely self-disciplined, self-discipline into not even drinking, then life is too bitter, too uninteresting."

Sohu Finance: What is the good life you yearn for?

Zhu Xuedong: Don't do what you don't want to do, don't see people you don't want to see, don't listen, don't pay attention, don't care about those things you don't want to manage. That is to say, in a sense, we are approaching a free life in a sense, and I think this is the good life.

Reading the books you like to read, writing the articles you like to write, meeting the friends you want to meet, chatting with people you are willing to talk to, drinking with people you are willing to drink, drinking with people who are willing to drink together, is there a better life than this?

I wrote my own poems, there were friends, there were books, there was wine, and of course this life was beautiful. So no matter what, I will write a sentence when I write the journal, and live every day for the rest of my life seriously, that is, to live every day as the last day of my life, it will definitely be beautiful.
