In this materialistic society, luxury and pleasure have become the goals pursued by many people. Recently, the extravagant life of Bai Shanshan, the head of the Evergrande Song and Dance Troupe, has been exposed, making people begin to reflect on the price behind this lifestyle. Is the annual expenditure of hundreds of millions of dollars to satisfy my vanity, or is it to slap someone in the face? I suddenly discovered that Bai Shanshan and I have similarities, and we both pay the price for extravagant life to varying degrees.
As a child, I always envied those who had designer bags, luxury cars, and a luxurious life. I felt that if I could live like that, everything would be perfect. However, when I grew up, I became aware of the stress and pain hidden behind this life. Just like Bai Shanshan, she may have dreamed of having everything, but reality made her pay more. Like Bai Shanshan, I used to work constantly and earn money in pursuit of a luxurious life. I am busy at work every day in order to be able to live a better life. However, as life went by, I found myself falling into mental and physical exhaustion. Looking at those wrinkled eyes in the mirror, I began to wonder what it was all about.
After Bai Shanshan's life was exposed, she endured criticism and ridicule from the outside world. I think maybe she was hurt very much in her heart. And I, in the process of pursuing a luxurious life, have also suffered ridicule and criticism from others. They say I'm vain, they say I don't know how to cherish, but they don't, I just want to find a little comfort, I want to find a little peace in this noisy world. Like Bai Shanshan, I have lost myself in extravagant consumption. Famous brands, luxury cars, expensive restaurants, I seem to be immersed in these material pleasures and can't extricate myself. However, when I maxed out my credit card, I realized that this kind of luxury does not bring me true happiness. Instead, it brings burdens and anxieties, even worries and fears about the future.
Bai Shanshan's story made me deeply reflect on my own life. Perhaps, I need to stop and re-examine my heart. I began to wonder if the price behind the extravagant life was worth it, and what exactly I was after. Perhaps, I should learn to cherish what I have, let go of unnecessary pursuits, and find inner peace and tranquility. Perhaps, we should all learn from Bai Shanshan Xi learn to let go of extravagant appearances, and truly pursue inner peace and satisfaction. Perhaps, we should all stop, stand at the crossroads of life, re-examine our choices, and find our own path to happiness. Perhaps, we should all understand that a luxurious life does not bring us true happiness, and true happiness is actually in our hearts.
The exposure of Bai Shanshan's extravagant life made me start to re-examine my own life. Perhaps, I have a similarity with her, we both lost ourselves in luxury, but finally found that true happiness does not lie in the accumulation of material things, but in inner peace and contentment. May everyone who pursues a luxurious life be able to stop, examine their own hearts, and find their own path to happiness.
