Since ancient times, Tao Yuanming's pastoral life has made many people yearn for it. Even in today's fast-paced life, some people imitate Tao Gong.
Twenty years ago, Wang Qingsong, the president of Peking University, lived in seclusion in the deep mountains at the junction of Beijing and Hebei. In order to build a 2500-mu paradise, she spent 3.5 million yuan in 1 1 year.
Wang Qingsongyuan graduated from Peking University with a bachelor's degree of 79 from the Department of National Politics and a master's degree of 83 from the Department of Law. He has a super memory. He can recite an ancient text without punctuation. And remember the phone number, he can put 500 phone numbers in the right place a day.
Fortunately, he stayed in school to teach after graduation, with a bright future, and soon married his female student Zhang Mei. However, in 2000, he gave up all his posts and retired to the mountains with his wife.
At that time, many people could not understand their choices. Students and teachers mistakenly thought they were missing, so parents told outsiders that they had gone abroad.
Twenty years later, what happened to Mr. and Mrs. Wang Qingsong? Why did they give up all their jobs and retire to the mountains?
A, Peking University top student and his wife live in seclusion in the mountains.
Wang Qingsong was born in an ordinary family in Xin 'an County, Luoyang, Henan Province. His parents are farmers. However, Wang Qingsong is particularly competitive and studies very hard. 1979 was admitted to the Department of National Politics of Peking University, and transferred to the Law Department of Peking University after graduation. After graduation, he chose to stay and teach.
Everything in Wang Qingsong is enviable. An accidental opportunity changed his life.
I began to teach health care in Peking University during the 1985 "health care fever" because I studied martial arts since I was a child. Unexpectedly, keeping in good health not only brought him fame, but also brought him wealth.
Later, the Ministry of Justice saw his great influence and asked him to generate income for the department. He was also allowed to hold a week's health class outside, and each person charged 10 yuan. It wasn't long before he made a lot of money.
His wife, Zhang Mei, was one of the students who came to the health class to watch the fun. She just graduated from Beijing Foreign Studies University and is 12 years younger than him. In the long run, she fell in love with him and got married.
However, after Wang Qingsong got married, she went to the mountains in seclusion with her wife in a few years, which made many people feel very surprised and sorry!
In 2000, they lived in the deep mountains near the junction of Beijing and Hebei, and rented 2,500 mu of land for 200,000 yuan, isolated from the world.
Second, why did Wang Qingsong and his wife live in seclusion in the mountains?
Wang Qingsong and Zhang Mei, both teachers of Peking University, have a bright future, but why did they give up such a good job and choose to live in seclusion in the mountains?
According to Wang Qingsong later told reporters, just to "breathe fresh air" and find a pollution-free living environment for his son.
In fact, this is only one of the reasons, and another reason is that they encountered some problems and setbacks in their study and work at that time.
1990, I applied for the doctor's degree of Mr. Tang, Department of Philosophy, and achieved excellent results. He won the first place in both single subject and total score, but to his surprise, the school refused to accept him. In the second year, he didn't want to transfer to the law department, but the result was still excellent and he was not accepted. He said: "At that time, I felt like a kite, pulled by tens of thousands of threads, and I could never fly high."
Almost the same thing happened to his wife, because the school evaluated the professional title and did not evaluate the lecturer for five years. Later, the school also asked teachers to learn computers. She hated machines so much that she simply resigned.
For various reasons, they finally followed their inner guidance and decided to leave Peking University to contract 2500 mu of barren hills and be isolated from the world.
Third, what is the current situation?
Instead of teaching, two Peking University teachers came to the village to farm, which made the villagers feel that the couple had a mental problem. In order to find a quieter habitat, they went deep into the mountains.
After Wang Qingsong and his wife contracted 2500 mu of land, they reclaimed 40 mu of cultivated land on the original basis, planted corn, sorghum, celery, Chinese cabbage, and some peach trees, apricot trees, jujube trees and apple trees. Some pigs, dozens of cows, dozens of mules and hundreds of black goats have been raised, forming a pure natural ecological chain.
They are self-sufficient in the mountains. Even washing clothes, washing hands and brushing teeth do not use washing powder, soap and toothpaste, but use plant ash and Gleditsia sinensis instead. Chopsticks for eating are disposable chopsticks made of straw.
During their seclusion in the mountains, their son was born and the family lived a happy pastoral life.
But at 20 1 1, Wang Qingsong began to return to society. The reason is for the education of their son, who is 7 years old and will start school.
Another reason is that they have spent 3.5 million savings since they entered the mountain that year. In the past 1 1 year, they basically only spent money without income. To maintain normal operation, they need at least 10 agricultural workers and spend 250,000 ~ 300,000 yuan each year.
Therefore, in order to continue to live as a "Peach Blossom Garden" in the future, Wang Qingsong hopes to repay the society in the next three years and push their pollution-free agricultural products to the market. He also said that he wanted to write a book "For the Nobel Prize".
Four. conclusion
I asked what I meant by living in the blue mountains, but I laughed without answering my heart. Peach blossoms are opening, and it is another world.
Mr. and Mrs. Wang Qingsong chose a quiet country life. They didn't want any worldly etiquette or a trace of dust. However, they want to let go of all desires, fame and fortune, troubles and pursue the true meaning of life, but they can't leave this society in the end.
