The famous female writer Sanmao once said: "A person has at least one dream and a reason to be strong." If the mind has no place to dwell, it is wandering everywhere. ”
People may have many dreams in their lives. When I was a child, my dreams were as nonsensical as fantasies, as if I could do them with talk. I want to be a teacher, and I want to assign a lot of homework to my students in the future; I want to be a policeman and eliminate violence; I want to be an astronaut and travel in space.
When you grow up, think about the dreams of that time, like a child's play, as you get older, those dreams are left behind. There is something in the mind called faith. It is different from dreams, faith is the pursuit of goals that continue to be unchanged now and even in the future, even if they cannot be achieved, faith in the heart becomes the direction of persistent efforts.
Faith is different from dreams, which are relative to short-term, while faith is throughout life. Dreams are physical objects that can be achieved, while faith is mostly a spiritual or nihilistic thing.
It is precisely because of the particularity of faith, so in the process of pursuit, there will be obstacles, there will be many people questioned, even excluded, ridiculed, but do not give up, the harvest in the process of pursuing faith is for yourself, not for others.
The movie "The Violin That Falls on the Truck" shows us how a lower class of people pursue their faith.

Hu Zuoheng is a 37-year-old laid-off young man who and his mother live off their income from a newsstand. One day, Hu Zuoheng picked up a violin, and he hung it on a book and newsstand for several days, and no one came to claim it. Then, he went to the musical instrument shop and wanted to sell the violin to the musical instrument store, and the clerk said that the store "only sold and did not buy", and the piano was left in Hu Zuoheng's hands.
His entanglement with this violin arose.
In the Children's Palace, not far from the newsstand, there are children who come out of school every day from violin class. And Hu Zuoheng also had the idea of learning the violin. He finally plucked up enough courage to go to the Children's Palace to register, and the person in charge of registration broke the rules to let Hu Zuoheng join the class.
A scruffy man, almost 40 years old, came to the Children's Palace to sign up for himself to learn violin, which is indeed incredible, but Hu Zuoheng is indeed the party involved in this matter.
However, after arriving at the class, the entire class was accompanied by primary school students accompanied by their parents, and only Hu Zuoheng was extremely out of place. Hu Zuoheng, who had no foundation, naturally couldn't keep up with their lessons, so when the teacher asked him to get up and play, he said I wouldn't, which caused a lot of laughter in the hall. After the first lesson, the whole class of children surrounded him and set his nickname as "I won't."
The teacher also advised him to give up and give him back the tuition. But Hu Zuoheng said that "when you go to the restaurant to eat, you can't retreat from the dish" and asked the teacher to teach him where the basic tone is, and the teacher saw that he really wanted to learn, so he drew a basic diagram for him.
After returning home, Hu Zuoheng began to practice hard, using his feet to beat himself and practicing against the small piece of paper. Because he had never studied music as a foundation, Hu Zuoheng pulled out completely into noise, which seriously affected the rest of the surrounding neighbors.
But Hu Zuoheng suddenly found a new direction in life, and he was no longer as idle as before, lazily guarding the newsstand. Now, while guarding the newsstand, he also grasped all the time to practice, and when the time came, he would go to the Children's Palace for classes. His life changed dramatically, to the fullest and with hope.
After a period of time, the surrounding neighbors couldn't bear it, and finally broke out, they surrounded Hu Zuoheng's mother, some old ladies were even more aggressive, the language was extremely ugly, Hu Zuoheng's mother did not understand, his son just liked to play the piano, did not do anything harmful to nature, why did everyone have to scold him to death. However, in the face of her son's dream, Hu Zuoheng's mother did not say anything, an old man with gray hair could only bow deeply to the neighbors.
Later, Hu Zuoheng's acquaintances approached him, saying that they had found new business opportunities and inviting him to rejoin. Perhaps at that time, Hu Zuoheng also realized that he was not the way to go on for a long time, so he compromised and went to work in the factory. After getting the salary, he and his mother went out to eat a meal with their salary, and the mother was very happy, which was the life she hoped Hu Zuoheng should have.
But after working for a few days, Hu Zuoheng realized that the job did not make him happy, and he left the factory. At this moment, Hu Zuoheng was extremely happy, like a tight string suddenly relaxed, but his mother was so angry with him that he fell ill. Hu Zuoheng was also deceived by his neighbors and was put into a mental hospital, but when he played to the people in the mental hospital, he received a round of applause, and finally identified him as having no mental illness and was released.
Hu Zuoheng installed a weak sound device on the violin, and the sound became smaller. It seems that everything is on the right track, but at this time, the original owner accidentally passed by the book and newsstand and saw the piano in Hu Zuoheng's hand, and after some scrambling, the piano was finally taken back by the owner.
The days with the violin seem to be a fleeting farce, and Hu Zuoheng's life is back to its original state.
<h1>02</h1>
He was reluctant to return the violin to the owner, not because of its high price, nor because the owner had not been found for too long, but because the violin had become a part of his life, which pinned on his recent happy life, which represented his faith in music and the direction of life.
From the very beginning when he began to play the violin, the manager in charge of class registration did not understand him, the primary school students in the same class did not understand him, and the neighbors did not understand him and annoyed him. But later, after Hu Zuoheng installed a weak instrument for the violin, these neighbors began to feel that he had a nervous disease, and the things that should make sounds did not make a sound, and lost the meaning of the instrument itself.
In the final analysis, Hu Zuoheng made this decision because of other people's opinions, which was itself an act of following other people's opinions, but it became strange. After Hu Zuoheng's music was applauded by everyone, the neighbors all changed their faces and even helped him grab the piano with the lost owner.
Why are you playing the piano? Because I like it. Why don't you work? Because I'm going to play the piano.
This seemingly ironic dialogue is Hu Zuoheng's heartfelt words. Neighbors and elementary school students thought he was playing the piano very poorly, but ironically, a group of neurotic patients understood and applauded him.
In the eyes of the public, what is inconsistent with the mainstream is wrong. At that time, everyone was desperately making money for life, and the children learned violin in order to be able to add points to their academic performance, but Hu Zuoheng, who was almost 40 years old, had no serious job, no family, and the key was that when his material world was not rich, he began to pursue a spiritual life, which was too hasty, and this behavior was an outlier in the eyes of the public.
In the end, he had no violin, no teacher Wu who made him like, and no faith.
<h1>03</h1>
Insisting on faith in doubt and running for dreams is what we can see in Hu Zuoheng.
He has a lot of people who do not have a solid, at that time everyone for social status, for the sake of livelihood, he respected the soul of art in his heart, not arrogant in learning, no matter what others say, he must adhere to his love. Even if he was ridiculed by a group of elementary school students, even his own mother could not understand.
Everyone has absolute freedom to choose their own preferences, you can choose what you like, but you can't denigrate the likes of others. So seeing the two faces of the neighbors after Hu Zuoheng was ostracized and popular, this actually reflects the most real situation.
There are always some people who shout righteous slogans, and they only know to stand on the moral high ground to blame others, to stomp others on the low point, and then to look like they are doing harm to the world.
Hu Zuoheng was born in the wrong era, if he were placed today, perhaps he would not have ended up with such a bleak ending.
"The violin that fell from the truck", what does "truck" really mean? Maybe it's society, maybe it's the times, the truck left the violin, or maybe it's doomed Hu Zuoheng to be abandoned by the times.
