"I often complain about having a bad day. I know there's nothing to blame for thinking like this, people go up, water goes down. But how to calculate who to compare with, I can't say that it is not vague. I went out on a long trip the other day and seemed to have a little understanding of this problem. ”
The author says so.
Indeed, human life is always "more than the top is less than the bottom".
Especially after the age of thirty, having a child, I am afraid that I will not be able to give him a better one, and I will delay him. Other children have it, they want to have it; if other children don't have it, they want to have it themselves.
But this unconscious "inner volume" makes us feel tired when we are new parents. This picture book, called "Mountain Fruit", gave me a little comfort.
At first, I was attracted by its colorful pictures, but in the end I was moved by the warm story it described.
This is a children's book for children, but I think it is adults who get more insight from it.

Shanguo was only thirteen or fourteen years old. Her mother was sick and sold walnuts to treat her mother.
She walked for a day and a night to get to the train station. She got up in the middle of the night and even stayed in a cave all night. After selling the walnuts, I rushed back and had to go for another day and a night.
"How much does it cost to sell a basket of walnuts?"
"Fifteen or six dollars are left with the ticket money that is planed out and returned." Shanguo said happily.
The life of a poor little girl sounds sad.
This reminds me of the young people I used to see in the news, the young people who were crying in the subway.
When we are overwhelmed by the chicken feathers of life, there is always a group of people who are more difficult than us, but still live seriously.
Thinking about it this way, what reason do we have not to live positively and optimistically?
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="02" data-track="74" > no matter how difficult the day is, there are always strangers who inadvertently touch you. </h1>
The people on the train listened to the story of the mountain fruit and felt sad in their hearts. Everyone went to buy her pecans.
When Shanguo was about to get off, several ragged migrant workers also took out their change and handed them to the little girl, telling her to take it and buy medicine for her mother.
Although I am not very rich, I am willing to do my best to help you. Strangers in life will always inadvertently touch you.
A driver said that on his way home he saw a girl crouching in the middle of the road crying, afraid that she would not be safe, so he kept giving her a light until the police came.
Life is like a mess, and there are always knots that cannot be solved. Even the strongest people can't hold on, but there are always people who are willing to leave a light for you.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="03" data-track="76" > gives people roses, leaving a lingering fragrance in your hand. </h1>
The author gave the clothes he had originally bought for his niece to Shanguo, and when she got out of the car, the little girl burst into tears and said to her, "Grandma, the clothes you sent me, I will not wear them first, I will keep them when I get married." Her voice was choked.
Maybe a piece of clothing is insignificant to the author, but to Shanguo, it is a wonderful gift she received. She cherished it so much that she had to keep it until the most important moment of her life.
Being kind to others keeps us warm.
Someone said, "It's harder to be kind than smart." Cleverness is a gift, while kindness is a choice. ”
On the subway, a young man fell asleep in his seat, holding a mobile phone in his hand, and the screen said "Please call me if you need to give up your seat".
Kindness doesn't need to be deliberate, it's just a habit.
Whenever you help others, you will also reap happiness.
What is life? Life is about occasionally adding "joy" to suffering. When you feel that you can't get by, you may wish to think about those who are more difficult, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome. And when you feel that your life is okay, you may wish to be kind, help others at the same time, you can also harvest happiness.
True happiness is not an earth-shattering thing, but knowing how to discover the little beauty in life, warming yourself and others.
