Everything in the world has dreams, and this is even more true of people.
I used to have strange dreams, and when I was young, I dreamed that I wanted to fly, but I couldn't always fly, stumbling on the top of the mountain, in the river, on the treetops, and many times I ended up falling heavily to the ground. I asked the doctor and said that when I had a long body, I had this feeling of falling.
Now that I am older, I often have the opportunity to travel the sky in my dreams, over mountains and across the sea. Especially yesterday, probably because I watched the news of the Shenzhou 12 astronauts, I once again dreamed that I saw the appearance of the earth at a high altitude, above the blue sky and white clouds, I saw the lights of the ten thousand homes on the ground, and saw the stars and the lights on the earth. When I woke up and reminisced about the dream, I thought that I was probably older, my bones were loose, and I could naturally float upwards.
But after all, it is a dream, and the elders say that dreams are reversed.
Another person says: "There are thoughts and sees in the day, and there are dreams in the night."
Freud summed up dreams as a subconscious expression.
Dreams are related to dreams, which means that what is in the subconscious mind, what happens in the dream. Think about it, too, many times, I dream of someone I haven't seen for a long time or for many years, as long as he is alive, he can see him the next day or the third day. It can be seen that dreams and dreams are closely linked.
About dreams, about dreams, today, there are many new studies, many new theories, and many new connotations and new heights. The TV station used "Dreams" as a column and was loved by people. Such as "Dream China", "Chasing Dreams", "The Sound of Dreams", "China Dream Show". At present, the "Chinese Dream" has entered the discourse system of every Chinese and has become a hot topic in the mainstream media. This is a beautiful vision, from a new perspective, praying for the prosperity of the country and the strength of the people.
According to reports, eighty-nine years ago, there was also a birth of the "Chinese Dream".
On November 1, 1932, the Shanghai Oriental Magazine planned a solicitation of "New Year's Dreams" under the titles of "Dream china" and "Dream Personal Life", and sent out 400 draft letters to people from all walks of life across the country. The questions solicited by Oriental Magazine are: First, what is the future China in Mr. Sir's dream? Second, what dreams do you have in your personal life?
The dream campaign received a warm response. According to statistics, 142 people eventually published 244 dreams, including Liu Yazi, Hu Shi, Lin Yutang, Xu Beihong, Zheng Zhenduo, Ba Jin, Mao Dun, Gu Jiegang, Zhou Zuoren, Yu Dafu, Yang Xingfo, Lao She, Zhang Shenfu and other famous writers and social celebrities. On New Year's Day 1933, Oriental Magazine published the New Year's dream of these celebrities in the form of "New Year's King", which attracted great attention from all walks of life.
For the first question, the editorial board of Oriental Magazine later analyzed: Most of the New Year's dreams are full of hope for the future China, believing that the Future China will be the China of the new young people, not the China of the faint and the old, the China of the industrious masses, not the China of the exploiting class.
Yang Xingfo, then director general of the Academia Sinica, said in an essay: "The future China I dream of should be a cosmopolitan society that attaches equal importance to material and spiritual, people have reasonable freedom, and at the same time have the obligation to work, and the enjoyment of materials should be universal and equal." ”
Zhang Shenfu, a professor at Tsinghua University, had a bold dream at the time: "My ideal China can realize the ideals of Confucius, Russell Science, and Lenin's communist ideals." ”
The "world of great unity" in Liu Yazi's dream is "to break the distinction between all nations and classes, and to succeed in the whole world as a great federation", "no money, no iron blood, no family, no prison, no religion; each doing his best, taking what he needs; all equality, all freedom." ”
Female writer Xie Bingying also dreamed of "a cosmopolitan world without a country, a nation, and a class distinction." ”
Uddhav's "utopia": "There is no class, no competition, no material oppression, no one, and there is no 'private property'." ”
"There is no class, no distinction between each other" is the yearning of most people for the future of China.
For the second question, the answer is various and interesting.
The writer Barkin wrote: "I have a gentleman who said something like this: 'I want every family to have a dwelling, every mouth to have bread, every heart to be educated, and every wisdom to be illuminated.' If that's his dream, then mine is also this. I also believe that the individual is inseparable from society, and that only when the whole society is liberated and happy can the individual have freedom and happiness to speak of. ”
Hu Shi's dream was particularly strange, he wanted a prison in which he could sit in prison for ten or fifteen years, no guests allowed, no socializing, where he could read, where he could borrow books, and he could write what he wanted to write, and every day someone urged him to do physical exercise, or physical labor. Hu Shi finally said: "I think, if I have such a dream life of ten or fifteen years, I can do all the work I can do. ”
In the "dream" of "personal life", the personal dream of writer Lou Shiyi is to "be a citizen of a future China, to do my best for the construction and growth of this country, and to get the enjoyment I deserve." ”
Of course, there are quite a few people who want to live in a beautiful pastoral life, "want to live in the countryside with my intellect and labor." "Whenever the moon hangs in the air, the shadows are scattered on a summer night, rowing a flat boat, sailing in the wind, the willows on the shore brush my head, dust my shoulders, the cicadas greet each other all the way, the sound of the water singing low at the bottom of the boat, leaning on the sky, with both hands playing oars,......."
Some people want to "buy three or four bungalows", "spring and autumn, or invite friends from different places to travel the local landscape; or visit the old place in other places to appreciate the victory".
Some people want to "follow Tao Yuanming's 'return to the village' and go to the countryside, just like Zhuge Liang's cultivation of Nanyang, to be an old farmer who is full of authenticity, and to cultivate and feed himself." Some want to "go back to the mountains to chop wood or plough the fields." Some "just want to live in the quiet countryside, read a little book, and grow a little vegetable."
Banker Yu Huancheng also said: "I just want to be a self-employed farmer with a little knowledge." I love pastoral life the most. ”
"Where is the cultivation of bamboo, the three paths of my house." It is the "dream" of Zeng Zhongming, vice minister of the Ministry of Railways.
"My wife and I set up a new primary school in the countryside of the mountains and rivers to live a 'poetic life.'" It is the "dream" of Wu Yanyin, section chief of the Ministry of Education.
The information also said that Mr. Lu Xun was invited that year, but did not apply. However, he wrote a "Hearing and Hearing Dreams" in April 1933 in response. He said: "I understand the reporter's painstaking heart, I think I think that speech is not free, it is better to talk about dreams, and instead of telling the truth, it is better to talk about the truth in dreams." He also wrote in his usual tone: "As for some other celebrities who dream of being hermits, dreams of fishing trees, and celebrities who are completely different from the original appearance, in fact, they only feel the brittleness of the rice bowl, but they want to expand the scope of eating, from the imperial court to the garden, from the ocean field to the mountain."
According to the statistics of the editors of "Oriental Magazine", the applicants were mainly concentrated in the eastern coast and some large cities, of which Shanghai had the most, with 78 people, Nanjing 17 people, 12 people in Beiping, 8 people in Hangzhou, 4 people in Guangzhou, and few or no other mainland cities.
The gender of the applicants was unexpected, men accounted for the majority, there were 138 people, only 4 women, the editor was very sorry in the "After Reading Feeling": "It is a pity that we receive too few dreams from women. We believe that many ladies and ladies have some wonderful fantasies. At least women dream no less than men, and this should be for other reasons. Perhaps women are more reserved than men, unwilling to tell their sacred secrets casually, and this may be one of the reasons. ”
Most of the candidates were university professors, editors, writers and journalists, so-called "cultural aristocrats", who accounted for more than 75% of the total. When the Oriental Magazine issued a dream notice, it was quite aware of the universality of the profession, but the results of the solicitation made them a little disappointed.
It seems that in the context of the invasion of foreign enemies at that time, ordinary people at the bottom of society did not even have the heart and conditions to dream.
From the dream of the "datong world" to these dreams of landscapes and rivers, it is not difficult for us to see that Chinese intellectuals have an unsolvable utopian complex in their hearts.
The editor of oriental magazine said in "After Reading": "Although these 244 'dreams' cannot represent the dreams of 450 million people, they can at least represent the dreams of most intellectuals." ”
These "New Year's dreams", like the warm sun in winter, bring a touch of warmth to the hungry and cold people. As the participant, Mr. Hu Yuzhi, said: "On this long winter night, we can at least have one or two sweet and comfortable dreams." Dreams are all our divine rights! However, the "dream" of that year did not end the "long winter night", and the utopian dream of the intellectuals "datong world" was shattered by the sound of guns and cannons on the "Lugou Bridge".
But the dream of freedom for individual happiness, national prosperity, and national rejuvenation can never be shattered. After eight years of arduous resistance, people with dreams finally drove out the invaders and established a brand-new China.
I thought that the "Chinese Dream" of the Republic of China period and the "Chinese Dream" that I am pursuing now have the same ultimate goal: personal happiness, national prosperity, and national rejuvenation. With the progress of the times, the "Chinese Dream" pursued now has a clearer thinking, a more reasonable construction, and a more fulfilling vision.
Let's chase our dreams together!
