In my lifetime, I am happy to meet you, please click "Follow", thank you for your support.
At this moment, the elegant and quiet Gu Shaoqiang carried a vegetable basket in his hand and leisurely walked through the bustling streets and alleys of Chengdu, Sichuan. She spoke in an authentic Sichuan dialect with the street vendors, and she haggled like an experienced housewife.
Seeing such a scene, people who had endless expectations and wonderful fantasies for her in the past may feel a little helpless or even questionable at this moment.
Regarding these doubts, Gu Shaoqiang has his own opinions in his heart. As everyone expected, she did not completely abandon the firm ideals of her youth, nor did she abandon her yearning for wandering far away.
However, her understanding of "pursuing freedom" and "being content with the status quo" is far better than the perception of onlookers.
However, the truth is not as simple as some people think. We need to go back to 2015, when Gu Shaoqiang was still an English teacher at Henan Experimental Middle School.
Although Henan's educational resources are relatively poor and the teaching environment is quite difficult, she has always adhered to her post, worked hard and fulfilled her duties.
Until one day, Gu Shaoqiang submitted a short resignation letter of only 10 words at school - "The world is so big, I want to see it". This shocking resignation letter quickly caused an uproar on the Internet and attracted the attention of many netizens.
Some people question, does Gu Shaoqiang have other secrets? As an educator, she should have had more patience and perseverance, and should not have acted impulsively because of the spur of the moment.
In the face of all kinds of doubts, Gu Shaoqiang did not choose to escape, but told him frankly. She explained that it was not a spur-of-the-moment move, but a deliberate decision.
In fact, the more crucial factor was that her boyfriend at the time, Yu Fu, was running a barber shop in Chengdu, so she longed to spend time with her loved ones and start a new chapter in her life.
Looking back on the origin of Ms. Gu Shaoqiang's acquaintance with Mr. Yu Fu, it is extremely romantic and desirable. This story originates from Gu Shaoqiang's accidental journey before he resigned, which makes people deeply feel the wonder of fate.
At that time, Ms. Gu Shaoqiang went to work as a young volunteer in a café in Dali, Yunnan Province. It was in this poetic place that she first met Mr. Yufu and was fascinated by his magnetic voice.
It turned out that Mr. Yu Fu's voice was so amazingly similar to Ms. Gu Shaoqiang's idol, the famous singer Mr. Li Zongsheng, as if it was a flawless replica.
Ms. Gu Shaoqiang has long been obsessed with Mr. Li Zongsheng's musical talent, so her first encounter with Mr. Fu is like fate, which makes her heart moved.
As a result, this chance encounter became the prelude to a romantic and touching love story that they were about to unfold. When Ms. Gu Shaoqiang put down the whip in her hand and Mr. Yu Fu also closed his barber shop, they decided to embark on a three-month in-depth trip.
During that time, they completely got rid of the pressure and troubles of their past work, and devoted themselves to this leisurely and comfortable life, away from the hustle and bustle, and enjoyed the beauty of it.
The fragrance of nature and the twists and turns of the journey have undoubtedly added the most colorful stroke to their lives. During this journey, their emotions also sublimated into a fiery love, which continued to heat up.
Finally, in July 2015, they entered the sacred marriage hall and opened a new chapter in their lives together.
After a romantic honeymoon, Ms. Gu Shaoqiang and Mr. Yu Fu began to think seriously about the future direction of their lives. In the end, they decided to open a unique inn in the scenic tourist city of Chengdu, hoping to start a new life here.
With the help of Ms. Gu Shaoqiang's resignation letter, which attracted widespread attention from the society, their inn quickly became popular on the Internet and attracted the attention of many tourists. However, they thought that running an inn business would be an easy and enjoyable affair, but in reality it put them in a different kind of predicament.
As the footfall continued to grow, so did the media outlets, hoping to interview the couple who dared to challenge conventional notions. Both Ms. Gu Shaoqiang and Mr. Yu Fu have to face various forms of media interviews frequently, especially during the peak tourist season, which is even more stressful.
Facing the camera lens, Gu Shaoqiang was slightly cramped and helpless. When asked how she thinks of her current state of life, she sighs tiredly: "I just want to be able to feel the beauty of life in peace."
Although this passage is short, it is still permeated with her unique literary atmosphere.
From Gu Shaoqiang's words, there is no doubt that she is actually dissatisfied with too much attention and interference. She co-founded the inn with her husband Yu Fu with the intention of living a quiet and harmonious life, but unexpectedly fell into the dilemma of media disturbance.
In order to avoid trouble, they chose to hold a wedding in October of the following year in a low-key and unpretentious way. In addition to the big red word "Xi" posted at the door, there was almost no other decoration at the scene, and even the parents of both sides were unable to attend, so they spent it quietly, looking forward to the future to truly live the long-awaited ordinary life.
Soon after marriage, the newlyweds ushered in a new chapter in their lives - Gu Shaoqiang became pregnant. The birth of a new life has injected more laughter and hope into this family, which is already full of happiness and romance.
Although he still has to deal with all kinds of trivial affairs of the inn every day, and deal with interviews and interference from all directions, Gu Shaoqiang is always happy and full of endless love and anticipation for the upcoming family life.
Looking at the increasingly prominent pregnant belly, she couldn't suppress her longing for the future in her heart.
Perhaps, this is the most sincere yearning and pursuit in her heart - not the kind of bohemian, wandering life, nor the illusory romantic fantasy, but a down-to-earth, peaceful and stable family life.
The cry of a baby is the most beautiful melody in the world, and the smile of a child is the most beautiful beauty in the world. When Gu Shaoqiang finally welcomed his baby daughter, the joy and happiness in his heart were difficult to describe in any words.
Even in the streets and alleys, people can still see the image of the housewife who dresses plainly and talks directly, but this does not mean that she has completely abandoned the literary temperament and rich experience of her youth.
However, it is surprising that all of this is buried so deeply in her soul that it is enough to shape that unique and extraordinary spiritual outlook.
Now it seems that Gu Shaoqiang's life seems to be as plain as water, and she is not shocked, but the firm persistence in her heart, the belief in the coexistence of "seeing through the world" and "living and working in peace and contentment" has never wavered.
Whenever someone questioned whether she had abandoned the fiery idealism and adventurous spirit of her youth, she always stated her opinion without reservation.
First of all, regarding the resignation letter that once attracted widespread attention from all walks of life, Gu Shaoqiang frankly told that when she wrote those ten words, she never expected to cause such a huge response.
Her original intention was simply to "learn more about the world", not to chase fame or fortune or attract the attention of the media.
Second, she firmly believes that wanting to travel the world is not the same as living a life of helplessness and wandering. In life, we should naturally enjoy the magnificent scenery of the five lakes and seas, but in the end, we need to find our own home and settle down.
If we wander forever and wander endlessly, then the foundation and pillars of life will gradually disappear.
Therefore, when Gu Shaoqiang ended her long journey that lasted for several months, she did not choose to continue to wander aimlessly, but decided to settle in the beautiful city of Chengdu with her husband, take root and run this warm little family with heart.
She knows that home is the eternal, the only harbor, and the ultimate destination of life.
In fact, Gu Shaoqiang's behavior just confirms her deep inner persistent pursuit of both freedom and family. She interprets her philosophy of life with practical actions - the courage to challenge fate, the courage to break free from shackles, and the courage to follow her inner voice; But it is also necessary to understand that there is always an end to wandering, and true happiness comes from inner peace and tranquility.
Such a seemingly ordinary but extraordinary way of life may be the spiritual portrayal of Gu Shaoqiang's life. She read all the things in the world, but in the end she chose the most simple lifestyle.
This is both a passionate pursuit of life and a deep understanding of happiness.
