Everything in the world varies according to the state of mind. When life is turbulent, we tend to get caught up in our inner strife. However, Mr. Yang Jiang's life has taught us how to free ourselves from internal friction and become mature.
01 Ignore the rotten people and bad things, and live a smooth life
During Yang Jiang's study in Oxford, she and Qian Zhongshu lived in Mr. Jin's home. Mr. Kim was supposed to serve three meals and afternoon tea, but soon after, he began to deliberately provide worse food and service. Yang Jiang did not quarrel or complain with Mr. Jin, but chose to move out and solve the problem by himself. She found a satisfactory house and cooked delicious Chinese food every day, so that Qian Zhongshu could also eat very satisfied. This story tells us not to delay our lives for unworthy people and things. For troubled and annoying people, taking a step back and smiling is the best choice for yourself.
02 Don't complain about the bitterness of life, and live your life to the fullest
Yang Jiang lived in a special period and was accused of being a "rightist". She lost her salary, her savings were frozen, and she had only a little living expenses every month. I also have to hang a sign with my name, identity and crime on it every day to go to work. She lived on a simple bamboo couch, ate simple food, and had to do hard work every day. However, Yang Jiang did not complain and dislike. She uses her wits and creativity to make life fun and joyful. She hung a delicate curtain at the door of the toilet and held a celebration banquet for everyone. When she went to dig the well, she didn't complain or complain. She regards all kinds of difficulties in life as a music chapter for writing life. This stoic and optimistic attitude allowed her to chew the taste and joy out of the suffering.
03 Don't care about other people's eyes and live your own life
Yang Jiang's translation of Don Quixote sparked controversy, with some people openly criticizing her translation. However, Yang Jiang didn't care about this. She ignored the criticism and continued to focus on her work. She believes that what others say is not important, what matters is her own love and passion for things. She believes that her translations are true expressions and do not need to be praised or denied by others. This commitment to her beliefs and independent thinking has led her to great success in the field of art and academia.
04 Don't follow the crowd, chase the distance of your heart
When Yang Jiang was young, her family wanted her to marry a rich and powerful person and live a comfortable life. However, Yang Jiang is not satisfied with such a life. She chose Qian Zhongshu, a poor scholar in academia. They shared a lifetime of knowledge and wisdom together. Yang Jiang is not bound by the concepts and traditions of society, she pursues the happiness that her heart desires. She made a difference in her life and became an independent and strong woman.
Yang Jiang's life has taught us a rare life lesson. She tells us that there are many unsatisfactory and difficult things in life, but we can choose to face them with a positive attitude. Don't dwell on bad people and bad things, don't complain about the bitterness of life, don't care about other people's eyes, and don't follow the crowd. Only in this way can we find our own direction in the complex reality and live a satisfying life.
