"All your life, you want to get rid of other people's expectations and find your true self." This sentence in "Silent Farewell" speaks to the hearts of most people.
Our lives, carrying the pressure of work and family, run at high speed every day, the sea of stars can only occasionally pass in the mind, and the daily trifles accumulate into shackles that bind freedom.
Maybe the goal of your struggle is to be rich in food and clothing, free in time, and feel that the days in front of you are bitter and tired, and the food is tasteless. But is there really such a pure life template? Look at this man in the British royal family, you may have another thought.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > his vanished life in the BBC's fifty million films</h1>
If every corner of the earth is filled with light, who needs stars?
In 2003, BBC tv released a shocking documentary, The Lost Prince. The protagonist, who once appeared in the group photo of the royal family, with golden hair and hazy eyes, made the public praise him as a "big beautiful baby".
It cost about 50 million yuan to make this film, and after reading the letter that his brother Prince Edward was auctioned, everyone suddenly realized that This Prince John, who suddenly disappeared from the media report, "has been locked up at home for the past two years." "He is like a twinkling star that makes the royal family unable to disclose this past."
As the sixth in line to the British throne, he and Edward VIII, George VI, Henry, Duke of Gloucester, and George, Duke of Kent, had a noble bloodline and a life of fine clothes. And the example of fate to make people is not only commoners, the life of suffering is always different, there is no need to envy anyone, behind the bright life, there is a kind of fairness with gains and losses.
In 1915, Prince John left his family and friends and was sent to a cabin at Sandringham Manor in Norfolk, accompanied only by his nanny, Charlotte Bill, and a garden given to him by his grandmother.
He used to be naïve and humorous, able to make his grumpy grandfather laugh, and was eventually kept in captivity until he disappeared because he was suspected of having epilepsy and autism.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > why the Brother of the Queen's father was kept in captivity for 13 years</h1>
If he were still alive, Queen Elizabeth, who is now in her 90s, might just be an ordinary princess, after all, Prince John had the same inheritance rights as the Queen's father, George VI. And the well-known William and Prince Harry may have become commoners.
Mental retardation, learning disabilities, inability to communicate normally with ordinary people, becoming irritable and irritable... Members of the royal family are just beginning to notice Prince John's strange appearance and expect him to grow up to be better. The little prince did not know about this epileptic seizure.
After the death of his grandfather, his father hurriedly prepared for the coronation ceremony, and he was more than four years old, who had been looking forward to it, but suddenly had a seizure, and he could only go to a small cabin by himself, lying on the ground struggling and convulsing, similar to epilepsy. Afraid that this unexpected "episode" would become the laughing stock of the public, in order to maintain the face of the royal family, his portrait did not appear again after the age of 7.
When Prince John asked his parents why they had moved away: "So that others don't care about us, we have to be more hidden and away from everything!" "
People with autism, known as "children of the stars" today, many parents find that their children have diseases, they are doubly caring, the family for their conditioning and treatment, such as the domestic famous genius painter Bi Changyu, although suffering from autism, finally painted a lot of amazing international works, but also charity exhibition to help many patients.
Just because of being born into the royal family, the body and will lose their freedom, enjoy a luxurious life that others cannot reach, and are destined to bear the cost of maintaining the dignity of the royal family.
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > child of the stars, the freedom that the nobility aspired to</h1>
At the age of 13, Prince John fell headlong into the grass and stopped laughing. The parents and brothers quietly held a small funeral at Sandringham Palace, perhaps the teenager had experienced too many royal disputes, and his brother Prince George sighed: "I think he is the only one among us who can be himself." "
Deprived of the right to receive parental love and without freedom of movement, John spent his only happy time in the secret garden. He plays football and rides horses at a leisurely pace, loving and enjoying everything nature has to offer. Listen to your favorite music while drawing your family on paper. Perhaps out of sympathy, John's mother made an exception and allowed the commoner children to go to the manor to play with him.
Everyone has their own destiny. Like a child, not to resist or hate the regrets in life, and to arrange everything you have well, is not another achievement?
At that time, the entire royal family was experiencing a precarious storm. At the outbreak of the First World War, the entire family of the royal cousin, Tsar Nicholas II, was wiped out in the smoke of war; another German cousin, the last Kaiser Wilhelm II, was overthrown.
Prince John's father, George V, faced a dilemma of war with Germany and popular protests over whether the royal family name was German or Not. Eventually, he was forced to change his surname and change dynasties – from the Saxon-Coburg-Gotha dynasty to the Windsor dynasty.
Because of his illness, John did not experience this political vortex of walking on thin ice, and it was also a blessing in disguise. Later, his brother Edward VIII, who was close to him, seemed to yearn for John's ordinary freedom, and after inheriting the throne, he voluntarily gave up the throne in order to love a married woman.
"I hate my job now." Edward told his private secretary that he was disgusted with royal etiquette and behavior, and had become helpless to the point of wanting to commit suicide. Loving beauty does not love the country, quite bold and uninhibited.
"I don't know why you are so troubled, you are all still alive!" John had done this to soothe anxious family members. The Daily Mirror reported that "when the prince died, he had an angelic smile on his face". Who in the imperial family can have true freedom?
There are nine times of unsatisfactory things, such as: busy going to work or school, even missing out on greetings to the family; having to socialize and take up time for rest and entertainment; overtime work day and night, and disrupting the plan to relax the travel...
In order to make a living, we always have to compromise in the face of inevitable trivialities, but the days are our own, shouldn't we set aside some time to do something really happy in our hearts? Even if it's just a useless but comfortable little thing.
Lin Qingxuan said that there are nine times out of ten things that are not satisfactory in life. Often think about one or two, do not think about eight or nine, everything is as expected. The most important thing in life is to have a love and responsibility for your own life. In a busy and tired life, try to jog in the morning, have a good dinner, and watch TV with your family.
