――――A branch of red apricot on the wall (twenty-four)

If a person lives to the point of 'not rejoicing over things, not grieving for oneself,' then that person is no longer called a person.

'Seeing but not seeing,' 'hearing but not hearing,' 'not rejoicing over things,' 'not grieving for oneself'—is that still called a person? Isn't that a wooden person? Is it a walking corpse?

Therefore, when it comes to the words of the ancients, especially the words of celebrities, one must not believe them entirely. Whoever believes them becomes a 'wooden person,' a walking corpse.

Therefore, a Western philosopher named Ji Bolun said (someone with the surname Ji is a poet, saying he is a poet, the evidence being that his words are as beautiful as poetry.

I say he is a philosopher because his words sound full of philosophical flavor and can give people enlightenment about life.

Who is Ji Bailun? Friends surely know: he is a Nobel Prize in Literature laureate from an Arab country.

The reason for the award is what he wrote: it has a certain depth, originality, and profound ideological content, far-reaching meaning, rich in philosophy, and he has created his own linguistic style……

Here are a few example sentences: 'My soul admonishes me, teaching me to look at beauty hidden by form, color, and appearance, and to carefully examine what people consider ugly until it becomes beautiful in my eyes. Before my soul admonished me, the beauty I heard was nothing but the trembling smoke of a smokestack. But now the smoke has cleared, and all I see is the burning thing.'

Ji's words are somewhat awkward, long-winded, not very smooth. I don't know what standard the Nobel Prize in Literature judges used to give him this honor, or whether Ji gave gifts to curry favor.

In short, no matter how you say it, he won the award. It's a big prize. The prize money is huge, enough to make people envious and also motivate them.... Let's get back to the main topic______)

He said: 'You have your thoughts, I have my thoughts. As you can see, Master Ji has a lot of personality. How others are is their business; if you become wealthy, that's your luck, your good fortune. I am a poor wretch, that's my fate being bad, but ten years from now the rivers will shift east to west. If you gain wealth, don't be too happy too soon. I, Ji Bailun, am now very poor; one day the sun will pass before my door, and I will also live brightly in the sunshine. You haven't seen me working by day, sweat dripping; at night I light the lamps, use electricity, write things, and I just want to earn some bitter money……'

Your thoughts are like a stubborn tree (Ji saying it this way is inappropriate. How could one compare others to a stubborn tree? Perhaps everyone's tone is just loud, but we, this small family, cannot say it like that…), the roots and stems cling tightly to traditional soil (what's wrong with the roots and stems clinging to traditional soil? Black is good-looking, it's the ethnic color, characteristic; dyeing good black yellow makes a fake foreign thing, making it obvious at a glance that it's fake goods; the more packaging, the more nauseating. This, the imported color, our great China, how could it become yellow-headed? If that were the case, our grandparents would be angry…), the branches struggle to stretch upward;

My thoughts are like a cloud drifting in the sky, afterwards descending sweet dew (it would be best not to rain down violent fish, for now it's summer, worldwide, floods cause disaster.),

Turning into a stream rushing toward the sea, then transforming into mist and vapor rising to the sky (Ji's words have an obvious flaw: how can sweet dew turn into a stream? Moreover, this stream is not an ordinary stream, but one that rushes toward the sea. If we nobodies said this, we wouldn't even be able to utter the Nobel Prize in Literature, let alone express it. But since Ji Bailun is a big shot, when people say poisonous grass is fragrant flowers, someone follows up with applause saying: 'This flower is not only, and also very fragrant.').

This article has many brackets; please bear with it, friends, and savor carefully—this flower is not only fragrant, but also very beautiful, especially outside the brackets…….
