It has nothing to do with me if others are good
On the banks of the Yangtze River, there is an old and busy wharf called "Jinglan Port". Every morning, when the first rays of sunlight break through the mist, Jinglan Port ushers in its new day. On the river, boats shuttle back and forth, and the sound of steam whistles comes and goes, breaking the tranquility of the river. On the wharf, workers are busy loading and unloading goods, and their figures are particularly tall in the morning light.
Li Wen is an ordinary member of this dock. He was of medium height, dark-skinned, and always had a faint smile on his face. Although his work is hard, he enjoys it, because he knows that this is the path he has chosen, and no matter how beautiful others are, it has nothing to do with him.
Levine had a brief period of glory in his youth. At that time, with a dream, he left his hometown and came to the big city to work hard. After a lot of hard work, he founded his own small company and his career flourished. However, as the market changed and competition intensified, his company gradually fell into trouble. In the face of great pressure and challenges, Li Wen chose to give up, returned to this familiar dock, and started his ordinary life again.
On the docks, Levine made many friends. Some of them were workers who worked as quietly as he did, and some were hawkers who did business on the docks. Although their lives are different, they all have one thing in common: they are all working hard for their lives. Li Wen likes to get along with these friends, and the friendship between them is simple and pure, without too many entanglements of interests.
However, on the docks, there is no shortage of glamorous people. They may be successful businessmen or powerful officials. They always appear in front of people with a lofty posture, as if they are the masters of this world. For these people, Li Wen always kept a certain distance. He never took the initiative to talk to them, let alone give up his principles in order to convince them.
One day, a businessman named Mr. Zhang came to the dock. He was tall, in a suit and leather shoes, and wore a famous watch, and he looked like a successful person. After Mr. Zhang came to the dock, he quickly attracted people's attention. He walked around and exchanged pleasantries with people as if he knew everyone well.
Li Wen also noticed this Mr. Zhang. But instead of stammering around like everyone else, he continued to do his job in silence. However, Mr. Zhang took the initiative to find Li Wen. He introduced his company and projects to Levine and invited him to join his team. Li Wenwan declined Mr. Zhang's invitation, and he said that he preferred his current life.
Mr. Zhang didn't seem to care about Li Wen's refusal, and he continued to communicate with people. However, in the following days, Mr. Zhang began to appear frequently on the dock. Not only did he greet people, but he also began to interfere in the affairs of the docks. He demanded that workers work his way and even wanted to change the way the terminal operated. These practices have caused discontent and protests.
In the face of Mr. Zhang's strong intervention, Li Wen did not choose to retreat. He found Mr. Zhang and expressed his views and position. He told Mr. Zhang that the wharf is everyone's wharf, and it is not something that someone can change at will. He also told Mr. Zhang that no matter how beautiful others are, they have nothing to do with him. I just want to live my life well, and I don't want to be overshadowed by the light of others.
Mr. Zhang didn't seem to be impressed by Li Wen's words. He continues to do things his way, trying to change the status quo at the docks. However, as time went on, people began to realize that Mr. Zhang's approach was not in their interest. They began to unite and resist Mr. Zhang's interference.
In the process, Lee became a leader and role model for the people. With his actions and words, he influences the people around him. He told them that no matter how beautiful others were, it had nothing to do with them. It is important to cherish your life and stick to your principles.
In the end, with the efforts of Li Wen and others, Mr. Zhang was forced to leave the dock. The pier has returned to its former tranquility and order. People continue to be busy with their work and lives as if nothing had happened.
For Levin, however, the experience strengthened his belief. He understood a truth: no matter how beautiful and successful others are, they have nothing to do with themselves. The important thing is to live your life well and stick to your principles and beliefs. Only in this way can we go further and more steadily on the road of life.
The years are like a song, and Jinglan Port is still busy and quiet. Li Wen still stands on the pier every day, looking out at the river. He had a faint smile on his face, as if to say, "No matter how beautiful others are, it has nothing to do with me." And this sentence has also become his motto on the dock, inspiring him to keep moving forward.
