The more sober the simpler: Mo Yan, China's first Nobel Laureate in Literature, such a great writer, is the most proud person in the literary world. However, in the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, the more he lived, the more sober he became, and the Nobel Prize never made him proud, but more intelligent and simple. Mo Yan made a thought-provoking remark in a speech that the most basic substances that sustain human life are sunlight, air, food and water, and the rest are luxuries. There are actually very few necessities needed for human survival, and too much to want will inevitably be trapped in the material quagmire and bring spiritual exhaustion. Getting rid of the shackles of material things and pursuing a pure and simple lifestyle is the most precious awakening. Streamline relationships and pursue self-growth. When people are young, they always pursue fresh clothes and angry horses, in a vain attempt to attract the attention of others in order to seek inner satisfaction. But Mo Yan was different, in 1988, Mo Yan and Yu Hua studied together in the graduate class of writers at Beijing Normal University. Because of his early appearance in the literary world, Mo Yan often had various social and invitations, and at first he was hindered by his affection to participate, but after a long time, he became bored and no longer participated in any dinner. He put a lot of time and energy into studying and writing. When other classmates gathered, he stayed in the dormitory with Yu Hua to discuss literature and write novels together. In 2012, after winning the Nobel Prize, Mo Yan's mobile phone always rang, and many people contacted him and invited him. In desperation, he simply turned off his mobile phone and hid in the study alone. In addition to reading and writing, he will occasionally meet two or three friends or go out on a trip, such a simple way of life has brought him ease and happiness. Life is short, don't waste a lot of time in irrelevant socializing, narrow your social circle, and pay attention to your heart, in order to get a more comfortable life experience. Only by cutting down on material desires can we be spiritually enriched. After Mo Yan won the award, Chen Guangbiao announced that he would give him a villa worth tens of millions of dollars free of charge, but Mo Yan refused without hesitation, "The family has gold ten thousand and two, but three meals a day." The family has a thousand acres of fertile land, and it does not sleep seven feet at night." Content with a simple material life, it is easier to keep the clarity of the heart. Mo Yan's happiness comes from spiritual abundance. Keeping the mentality of quiet years and abstinence and self-sustaining, it is easier to live calmly and comfortably in the noisy and impetuous world. Relax and be natural, live out calmly. Mo Yan was 57 years old when he won the award, which was 31 years since he first became an author, during these years, Mo Yan's name was not well known to ordinary authors, but he never rushed, he never wrote slowly, he never changed himself to meet the tastes of the public, and always followed the original intention of writing, and finally won world-class honors with his high-quality works, and his works also became the bestsellers that the public was most willing to buy. But he did not lose himself for fame and fortune, still wrote at his own pace, and published his new work "Late Ripening Man" in 2020. Some people once suspected that Mo Yan, who was slow to publish a book, was jiang langcai, but the advent of new works quickly swept away all criticisms. When we are young, we always want to pursue success overnight, and we long to become famous at a young age and get rich overnight. But most of the achievements are not achieved overnight, and the rush to achieve quick success can only bring failure. The accumulation of bit by bit, the effort of water drops and stones, can bring natural success. On the road of life, you are not the one who walks the fastest, but you can become the person who walks most steadily, do not have to worry about your backwardness, as long as you work hard, success will definitely come to you. Simplicity is to be sober, to remove the complexity of life, to penetrate the truth of life, and to find the most authentic self. "Life is simple and charming, and simple people's hearts are noble." To learn simple is not to be simple. ”
