The hour hand on the clock is moving slowly, moving so slowly that you hardly feel it moving, and so is the age of man, year after year, one day it will be a surprise, it has reached middle age, and at this time there are probably two things that you cannot but pay attention to. The obituary kept coming, some impatient friends had already taken a step ahead, very annoying, and at the same time they would suddenly feel that a large number of young lads appeared in front of their eyes, and they did not know where they were hidden before, and now they are shaking in front of your eyes, and all the characters who are prostrating their heads and bumping their heads are some characters who are striding forward with spring breezes, as if they are going to eat happy wine. One by one, his partners have been stung and the world has been handed over to the young people. The so-called "frequent hearing of the death of the deceased in the ear, but seeing many teenagers in front of the eyes," is the portrayal of the middle age of ordinary people.

In the past, there was often an advertisement on the back of the magazine "Wei Lianshi Red Supplement Pill", depicting a gaunt man, hunched over, his hands on his waist, and the words "Meaning in the Picture" next to it. That implication is quite profound for young people. However, this picture often appears in the minds of ordinary middle-aged people, although he does not necessarily want to eat "red pills", and the implication is that he understands. A pillar of yellow pine has bent and tilted, let alone a spine made of twenty-six broken bones? Young people are not bad at looking in the mirror, and it is good to take a picture in front of the large glass window of the shop, and I always feel that there is still a bit of posture in general. This habit of self-pity gradually disappeared, so that one day when I accidentally looked at the mirror, I suddenly found that there was a horizontal stripe engraved on the forehead, and the line was obvious and powerful, like Wu Daozi's "Jing Cai Painting", thinking that it was a head-up pattern, but the head was still like that. A closer look at the hair on the top of the head has a tendency to move to the cheeks and chin, and the most shocking thing is that a few white hairs are found on the sideburns, which is not a small surprise, and people who do not pull out a dime at this time will inevitably have to pull it out fiercely, plucking the hair, and the hair root may still carry a bright bead of flesh. But it is useless, the years are not spared!

The average woman reaches middle age and is more anxious. What young woman is not as plump as a milk grape and breaks with a single shot? What young woman is not as athletic as a swallow, beating so lightly? In middle age, it all changed. The curves are still there, but the full is not the case, the concave part becomes a bulge, the protruding part becomes a concave, the milk grape becomes a golden date, and the swallow becomes a quail. The most exposed is a face, from the fishtail wrinkles sprinkled out of a net, vertical and horizontal spokes, omissions, the face gradually woven into a map of the most developed railway line, the wrinkles on the face are no longer flattened by the iron, and somehow in addition to the wrinkles often add so much fly. Therefore, fat powder is indispensable. Unless there is no untold wall of dung. Putting another face on one of the original faces is the easiest thing to do. However, before putting on makeup and after putting on makeup, it is easy to think of the "Painted Skin" of Chatting with Zai Zhiyi. The woman's flesh seemed to be the most unbearable suction of the earth, and as soon as she reached middle age, she would relax and pile down, and the pile of flesh hung on the face, on the waist, and around the ankle. I heard that many Western women use a stick like a noodle stick to rub in the morning and evening, hoping to make the puffy flesh a little firmer, and some people simply avoid fat and avoid starch, tie the trouser belt, and lively "hungry" themselves back to youth.

How much effect, I don't know.

Don't think that when people reach middle age, they are finished. No. For example, when people reach middle age, it is like climbing to the highest peak. Looking back, a string of young men is climbing up the "head without turning back and sweating or scratching". Look closely, there are many stumbling blocks on the road, I have bumped my nose and face, and there are many traps, making me a frog at the bottom of the well for several years. Back in the past, I made a furnace moth, provoked fire, and made a fly that hit the window paper, bent on running into the light, and ended up falling on the sticky flies! The observation of such scenes is only possible by standing on the highest peak. Looking ahead, the front is a downhill road, which is much better to walk.

Shi Nai'an Water Margin: "If you have not married in your life for thirty years, you should not remarry; if you have not married forty years, you should not remarry again." In fact, "marrying" and "shi" are all small things, not marrying or not, but this statement is a bit of a halfway abstention, the Western proverb: "People's life begins forty." "It seems that forty years ago, it was just a few backing plays, and the good plays were all behind." I think it's about health. People who grow up eating wotou rice cakes are not easy to drag until middle age, and their vitality has evaporated. Can such a person remarry? Why bother? It is too late to serve the "vitamin to protect life". I have seen some unique men and women, when they were young, their heads were rounded, their eyebrows were thick, their eyes were big, they were stiff and stiff, like some green and astringent peaches, with a long layer of hair on them. They are unpolished stones. But in middle age, they become moist, radiant, like a spring under their feet, and they know that the content is full at a glance. Their lives are like years of aging in the cellar, thick and fragrant! For them, there is no sorrow in middle age.

Forty years to start living, not too late, the question is how to interpret the word "life". If you are not confused at the end of the year, and then learn to skate and kick the kite, "sneaking away to learn teenagers", it is naturally like autumn and spring, a little reluctant. The half-old Xu Niang, with "bangs", hid in the hut and wore high heels as a practice of walking on stilts, which was also a tragic thing. The fun of middle age lies in knowing life quite well, knowing yourself, so as to do what you can do and enjoy the life you can enjoy. The child of the class is suitable for singing the whole martial arts drama, and the middle-aged actor can afford the big axis drama, only because he can really understand the content of the play in middle age.
