Nietzsche once said that the higher philosopher is alone, not because he wants to be alone, but because he cannot find the same kind around him.
Loneliness is a way to enjoy life, and loneliness is a norm in the world.
Produced by Wentong Tianxia and published by Guangming Daily Publishing House, "I Want to Use This to Fight Loneliness" collects well-known articles by 14 well-known writers in the Chinese literary world, looking at the writers' alone time and tasting the power of loneliness.
Liang Shiqiu's "Elegant House" allows us to see the extraordinary elegant house: it is accompanied by the halfway up the mountainside, in front of which is the spiral rice field, in the distance is the verdant distant mountain, next to the sorghum land, there are bamboo forests, pools, dung pits, and behind it is the desolate hazel hillside.
Look at this geographical location, there is a beautiful view, a breath of life, and a taste of the wilderness. But in Liang Shiqiu's eyes, Yashe has personality, and if she has personality, she is cute.
Feng Zikai's "Idle Residence" allows us to see him in the poor and coarse study, looking for happiness in the chiming clock: because he didn't like the thick mathematical yards on the chiming bell, he painted his face sky blue with oil paint, painted a few green willow branches on it, cut two delphiniums with hard black paper, and glued them to the tips of the two needles with paste.
Look at this small change, the chiming bell has become a spring-like oil painting.
Wang Zengqi's "Idlers in the City" allows us to see such an old man: seventy-eight years old, does not look like it, at most seventy years old, has a good complexion, and often wears a pair of old-fashioned light citrine goggles with round lenses. The eyes are large, not cloudy at all, and there are deep crow's feet at the corners of the eyes. When he talks to people, he always has a little smile and looks like an innocent child.
Looking at the description of this character, this old man jumped in front of him in an instant.
Shi Tiesheng's "Like and Love" allows us to see: like but don't love, love but don't like it, it can be seen that liking and love are not the same thing. To like is to see something good or even excellent, and the thought that follows is: the desire to possess. Love, on the other hand, is mostly about seeing something bad or not good enough, but actually hoping that it is good or even very good, and the ensuing incentive is: willing to give.
Look at this unpretentious language, but it teaches people how to distinguish between love and like.
The whole book also includes 7 paintings and calligraphy works of celebrities such as Feng Zikai, Zhou Zuoren, Lin Huiyin, Lu Xiaoman, Qi Baishi, and Wang Zengqi.
How good it is to be lonely, because solitude is a gift in life.
