The editor said that you wrote a story of "full score life".
I:?? Who is still pursuing a "full score of life" today? The little friends are light "Buddha".
Thinking about it, I said to the editor, why don't you look at this one first?

"There are seven strategies for getting rich, and the country uses five to dominate the world, and since it is so effective in the country, I want to use it in the family business." The person who said this is called Fan Li, known as "Tao Zhugong", a figure in the history of business that cannot be bypassed, and also the male protagonist of several historical allusions.
The theme of fan li's first half of life is "out of the shi", which is supplemented by the last hegemon in the "Spring and Autumn Five Powers". King Yue was defeated by King Fuchai of Wu, and Fan Li offered a plan to order Gou to beg and surrendered, and followed Gou into Wu as a slave for three years, which has the famous story of "lying down and tasting courage".
After Gou Jian was released to Vietnam, Fan Li proposed "ten years of gathering and ten years of lessons"; on the one hand, he sent beautiful women to his husband to corrupt his heart; on the other hand, he engaged in economic construction in The Great Vietnamese Congress, established various production and military bases, and carried out macroeconomic regulation and control of grain prices to promote production, and for a time, The economy of Vietnam was booming.
Ten years later, the country of Vietnam became rich and the people were strong, and Wu was destroyed, and he was disgraced. However, Fan Li flew away with his crown in a fluttering manner, taking Xi Shi "floating in the Five Lakes in a flat boat", and contributed a golden sentence before leaving:
Birds are exhausted, good bows are hidden, cunning rabbits are dead, and lackeys are cooked.

The theme of the second half of Fan Li's life is "doing business". He engaged in aquaculture and indigenous trade by the sea, did fur business in Hebei, farmed freshwater fish around Taihu Lake, and also engaged in long-distance trafficking of seasonal specialties. The strategy of governing the country is used in the operation of the family business, I don't know if it is a cattle knife for killing chickens, but the result is that Fan Li has accumulated family property to thousands of gold in 19 years, and later generations of business, the family property has "reached tens of thousands".
Fan Li also left a lot of business philosophy for future generations, such as the cyclical law of the economy, "to be lacking" ("Summer is the capital, winter is the capital ... Waiting for lack"), but also emphasizes small profits and high sales, which is not obsolete to read now.
Wu Xiaobo once wrote about him in "Two Thousand Years of Mighty Waves":
The reason why "Tao Zhugong" has become synonymous with the rich is obviously not only because of the amount of wealth, but also because of his superb wisdom.
Sima Qian listed Fan Li as the first in the "Chronicle of Cargo Breeding", commenting that he "all have honors and fame in the three migrations, and their names will be passed down to future generations".
"If you go out, you will destroy Wu Bayue, for the sake of fate; if you enter, you will make a living by the goods and accumulate thousands of gold." ("Baopuzi") has achieved hegemony, does not love the court to achieve retirement, earned thousands of gold, and accompanied by beautiful women, called "Shang Father" and has a good end, such a life is not a full score?
The editor said, it is quite satisfactory, do you say that he is satisfied with himself?
Where do I know.
But I rather want to know what Sima Guang said about him, but whether he praised him for ruling the country well and strategizing? Or did he scold him for not being loyal to the king and loving the country, and for dying after that? Unfortunately, "Zizhi Tongjian" was written from the beginning of the Warring States and did not have Fan Li's role.
As for what kind of life a scholar should spend with full marks, Sima Guang had his own path. At the age of seven, he was obsessed with "Zuo Chuan", spent 19 years compiling the "Zizhi Tongjian"; fell in love with Wang Anshi for a lifetime, and at the age of 68, he re-worshipped him, and in 18 months he repealed the new law, restored the ancestral training family law he adhered to, and died at work.

Jiang Peng wrote that Sima Guang was "a politician at the center of the stage of political practice" and a "politician with strong conservative overtones." (Order or Monarchy?) ——Reinterpretation of Sima Guang's Political Concepts"
It seems that Sima Guang had Fan Li to live a dashing and cheerful life, and later generations also praised and deprecated his political deeds, but as a Confucian student, this seemed to be his fate, and perhaps people were quite satisfied with their own life.

Yanfan Street is Shuang Xuetao's "Tiexi Universe", which is a microcosm of an era - after the wave of layoffs in the 1990s, the old industrial area was withered, decadent and obscure. The characters in the novel always emerge from nowhere and disappear from nowhere, and their fates are scattered, but together they constitute the chapter of Yan Pink Street.
The literary and artistic young mother who reads calligraphy, painting and painting ("Moses on the Plain"), the father who is obsessed with playing chess and is laid off at a middle age ("The Master"), the mentally ill and small who does not want to grow up ("My Friend Andrei"), the wandering poet in the mountain village ("Long Sleep"), the brave and fierce scoundrel ("The Scoundrel") ...
"Everything that falls out of my hand is related to my palm, my palm is connected to my heart, and my heart is connected to my spirit." The characters that fell out of Shuang Xuetao's hands came from his past and also from his present.
The five-line actor who can't tell the difference between dream and reality ("The Hunter"), the killer filmmaker who is looking for the master ("The Martial Artist"), the female killer who falls in love with the carpenter... In the work "The Hunter", which won the first prize of the third Blancpain Ideal Republic Literature Award, eleven stories externalize the heart of the author who came to Beijing from Shenyang, "the huge city outside the window looks at me, always awake, a thousand words, not a word." The wider world means more possibilities, more bizarre realities and more lonely individuals.
What remains unchanged is that these little people hiding in the streets and alleys, fireworks and rivers and lakes, each has its own persistence, and there is always a fulcrum in life that supports them to survive in a difficult world, no matter what kind of crazy, twisted, and squat posture they have. The pain felt in every life is so sharp and long that it is impossible to ignore.

Their lives cannot be full of points and will never be satisfied. But they have come, lived, and enjoyed themselves.
Life is a long marathon, and the track is this ever-changing world. Run through spring, summer, autumn and winter, run through joy and sorrow, run through the prosperous and chaotic world, run through life, old age, illness and death. What kind of life is enviable? Which is more important, "full life" or "satisfying life"? Is what you are doing and what you want to do the same thing? Can life be "arranged"?
Wu Xiaobo, who wrote Fan Li, Jiang Peng, who wrote Sima Guang, and Shuang Xuetao, who wrote about Yan FanJie and many characters, how do they view their own lives when depicting the fate of others?
On September 2nd, "Wu Chat" joined hands with "Blancpain Parlor" and invited Wu Xiaobo, Jiang Peng and Shuang Xuetao to talk about "full score life VS satisfaction life", about juvenile ideals, about life value, about self-evaluation.
