If you ask what beauty is, there will be many answers. Some people think she is too abstract, because beauty is a feeling, and different people will have different feelings about the same thing. In fact, beauty exists objectively and can be created. But in real life, the most important thing is not the creation of beauty, but the discovery of beauty.
What makes me feel this way is a column of CCTV, which is an interview with Zhang Yue in Half the Sky. The host of that interview was Yu Minjie, a self-employed auto mechanic. The beauty of China's working people's diligence, simplicity and kindness displayed by this young woman worker is shocking and makes people cry. However, as Zhang Yue said, "She is beautiful, but she doesn't know it. She created a miracle of survival. She doesn't know. She made four unemployed people resign. "
I don't know where to start, because I am only moved. I can't imagine a 18-year-old high-density girl who just graduated from junior high school and studied in an automobile maintenance training class in Taian for two or three months at first, and then became a small boss who opened an automobile maintenance workshop. Not only did she do it, but she also bought a new equipment every year or two. In seven or eight years, she already has more than 600,000 worth of equipment, not counting the factory and housing, and will be able to pay off the loan next year. There are beautiful houses above the factory building and on the second floor, but it is not practical for her to sleep on the second floor, so she is willing to sleep on the first floor with those machines, because she can get up and have a look as soon as she hears anything. I am moved because from her, I understand the old people better, and why they attach so much importance to those "antiques" that look useless now, but they have worked so hard to create before, so it is difficult to give up.
She hates people who are idle and do great things all day long, but refuse to do any small things in a down-to-earth manner, and likes to create a sense of accomplishment of value with their own hands; She hates the feeling of spending other people's money, even if she is busy and tired.
She pities people who don't have a house to live in, and even more pities people who pick up garbage to eat. She hopes to have money in the future, buy a large piece of land, build many houses, live for people who don't have houses, gather garbage collectors to eat and give them food. This is the ideal of a girl who has no mother and her father is too old to support herself. In order to make her father live a good life, she has to make a living after graduating from junior high school. A girl who graduated from junior high school can't say such grandiose words as "there are ten million spacious buildings, and all the poor people in the world are happy", but isn't her kindness the same as that of Du Gongbu?
When her workshop was unable to operate due to the construction of the farmers' market, she looked around and found the mayor. Although she didn't achieve her goal, the mayor remembered what she was looking for after a while, and she was very satisfied. She thinks the mayors are very good, and they are busy all day. It is good to see so many people and remember her and what she is looking for.
Although she leads a hard life, she is very satisfied. She feels that it is normal to work hard with her own hands, and she has nothing to complain about. She is very satisfied with her career. After 78 years' efforts, the technology is improving day by day, and the workshop has become the special maintenance station of the four major automobile companies. There are so many customers and a lot of income. She has paid too much for this, and she is really reluctant to give up, but if possible, she is willing to give up all this to help her beloved do his career well.
Although she can earn a lot of money by skill and diligence, she knows that her education is not high, so she has a college dream and hopes to find a knowledgeable lifelong partner. She envies not only other people's culture, but also their fair skin and slender fingers. When someone asked her where she was going to work on the train, she knew it was from her thick and dry hands, and she was doing rough work, so she felt inferior. The pride of supporting herself and her family with her own hands still cannot overcome her jealousy of others. From this, I thought of Maupassant's Madame Mathilde. Before losing the necklace, she was young and beautiful with slender fingers. After working hard for ten years and paying off her debts, she became old and strong, with dry and thick fingers, but she was happy and refreshed. Comparing the two, most people still think the latter is better.
In fact, why should Yu Minjie envy others? How beautiful she is! Hard-working, simple, kind and tolerant, filial to the elderly, considerate, and so on, I can't say how many words of praise can be used to praise her. And she didn't find out!
I didn't find the beauty around me, and Minjie wasn't the only one. Some of us, like her, feel sorry for ourselves all day and blindly envy others. I don't know that there are many beautiful women around us who are envied by others. We envy others when we have no spare money to buy a car, but others envy us that we don't have to worry about traffic jams, car maintenance, parking and refueling. Without a luxurious house, we envy others, but others envy us that we will not scare away the old people because our home is not like home; Without high-grade cosmetics, we envy others, but others envy us that clear water produces hibiscus and shows natural beauty; Without endless entertainment, we envy others, but others envy us that we have more spare time to study with our families after work. In short, as long as you are inferior to others in any respect, someone will envy you for being better than him in this respect. Why do you always have a hard time with yourself and always see yourself as shorter than others and longer than others? To be fair, who can be better than others in all aspects? With a normal heart, be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life, which is what most people should pursue.
Therefore, there is no need to see the mountain as high as the other side. Calm down, look around and pay attention to yourself. Maybe you will find that you are beautiful around you and you are beautiful!
