If you meet the abyss, please believe enough.
Mr. Yang Jiang said in his 100 year old speech:
“In this materialistic world, life is hard enough.”
The ups and downs of the world, the ups and downs of joys and sorrows, there are many trivial things, the helplessness of human exchanges, and the trivial bitterness.
Good life comes from suffering.
When you see this fact, your heart will be much brighter.
01
Things change, people change, and suffering is the normal state of life.
Running around like ants, all around the world, everyone has his own swamp.
In the autumn of 1938, Yang Jiang returned with her daughter to Qian’s house, which had moved to Shanghai.
At that time, the situation was chaotic. She had to live in a cramped place with the Qian family.
Without her own room, Yang Jiang is inconvenient to read openly, otherwise she and her sister-in-law seem too untimely.
So she borrowed a sewing machine and sewed in a steamer like booth to make clothes for Qian Zhongshu and Yuanyuan.
On weekdays, she buys the food at home and washes the clothes of the whole family.
She often dyed her face with bituminous coal, or made her eyes full of tears, or made bubbles from boiling oil, or cut her fingers, but she had no complaints.
She was originally a bookworm. It would be difficult for her not to read for a day. However, she has been quietly learning to do all the trivial things that the daughter-in-law of the big family bears, respecting the old and caressing the young, and being patient in everything.
What is more difficult is that for a period of time, Yang Jiang’s unit was forced to stop running.
It happened that Qian Zhongshu had just returned to Shanghai. He could not find a job for a while and a half. Without financial resources, the family even had to eat.
At this time, she began to tutor Miss Kuo, but it was a drop in the bucket, and the family life was still in short supply.
As a last resort, Yang Jiang found a substitute primary school far away from home after several setbacks. In her spare time, she had to write scripts to make a living.
Qianzhonglu, Qian Zhongshu’s cousin, said:
“My sister-in-law is like a tent, covering all the people around her, and she can withstand the wind and rain outside.”.
On the road of life, each of us has a bumpy life.
The world is in a panic, only for the sake of breaking silver. Whose life is not a chicken feather, not a slow hammer?
Tear open the true colors of life, and you will find that the adult world is already riddled with holes and vulnerable.
Luyao said:
“In this ordinary world, there is no day that is peaceful.”
Life, old age, disease, death, love and separation, long resentment, can not ask, can not let go.
Which adult has never thought about giving up tenthousand times in a tired night, and then in the morning of the next day, he tried hard to keep up.
Life has never been a miracle. Everyone is collapsing and healing at the same time.
Occasionally embarrassed, but also great.

Some time ago, my friend called me:
“I really can’t stand it any longer. I’m overwhelmed by a lot of things in the company during the day. I have to take care of my old and young when I go home at night. I don’t even have a chance to catch my breath…”
I believe every adult has encountered such a situation.
Life, in fact, is a protracted game.
Yang Jiang experienced numerous ups and downs in the second half of her life.
She had experienced the days when dark clouds covered the moon.
Over the age of 60, she was sent to the school to do all kinds of hard work.
When she was assigned to dig a well, she took off her shoes and socks and shoveled the mud flowing everywhere. On the day the well was completed, Yang Jiang specially called a bottle of Shaojiu to hold a celebration party for everyone.
When she was assigned to wash the toilet, she wiped the toilet with her hands holding a pen pole. She also secretly congratulated herself that she had time to read without bowing her head.
In the face of all kinds of life experiences, she said: “it can be read as a book, but it can be seen as a play.”
This unassuming attitude and open-minded indifference made her survive the most difficult years.
It was during this difficult period that he completed the translation of eight volumes of Don Quixote.
I thought I had finally had a good time.
But the despair of not wanting to live or die came back to her.
At the age of 80, when her husband and daughter were seriously ill, she dragged her weak body to and from the Beijing hospital and Xishan where Qian Yuan was, taking care of two patients.
Then I witnessed the death of my daughter and the death of my husband.
She survived a series of fatal blows.
Yang Jiang said that everyone will have a very difficult time, the pressure of life, the frustration of work, the pressure of study, and the anxiety of love.
If you survive, your life will suddenly open up; Time will teach you how to make peace with them, so don’t be afraid.
In one’s life, there are always some unhappy things. The key is to endure.
It takes a lot of training to cross the single wooden bridge of the college entrance examination;
Work hard, want to make achievements, need to overcome difficulties day after day;
Marriage has to endure, hold the hand of your son, grow old with your son, and run in and understand for a long time.
People live this life, no one is easier than who, only who can endure better than who.

Heyajuan once said in the way of pursuing dreams, we are all the same:
“It’s normal to feel tired and uncomfortable now, because you’re going uphill, and you won’t be tired until you go downhill.
However, if you go through it, there will be a bright future. If you bear more than others, you will reap more than others. “
Is life hard? Tired of work? Is it annoying?
Good life, is so hard, is so through.
If you can endure the hardships of struggle, life will be happy.
Just like the haggard old fisherman in the old man and the sea, even if he failed to catch a fish for 84 consecutive days and was ridiculed, on the 85th day he still rowed his boat to sea in high spirits.
Although from day to night and then to dawn, still nothing.
But whenever he wanted to give up, he always encouraged himself: “I can endure as long as it can.”
Finally, at his insistence, he succeeded in catching a big fish.
Life can be crossed, are willing to cross the people.
After seeing off the two relatives, Yang Jiang said:
“Zhong Shu has escaped. I want to escape, but where can I go? I can’t escape at all. I have to stay in the world, clean the scene and do my duty.”
She resisted the pain of despair and translated the “Phaedo” in Plato’s dialogues, which was Mr. Yang Jiang’s cross-border production and the first time she entered philosophy from the category of literature.
In order to reassure her dead relatives, she also paid special attention to her body.
In addition to eating properly and living regularly, he also insisted on walking 7000 steps at home every day to cope with loneliness and the erosion of years with a healthy body.
It is hard to imagine that an old man who lives to be 100 years old can still be so calm and detached after being hit hard by life.
Life is a lonely journey.
Some things can only be done by one person; Some customs can only be passed by one person; Some roads can only be taken by one person.
There will always be a time when you have to suffer.
If you can’t endure it, suffering becomes a barrier; Through it, suffering is wealth.

The year Yang Jiang died, I saw a problem in Zhihu:
“Have you ever thought that Yang Jiang is neither a saint nor a great man? What makes her affect the hearts of people all over the country?”
There is a highly praised answer at the bottom, which is engraved in my mind:
“Yang Jiang answered us with her whole life’s behavior: that is to be calm and calm in the face of life’s suffering.”
In fact, there are no skills to live a good life. The only thing you can do is to endure like her.
When you boil thorns into flowers and hardships into poems, you will eventually encounter the life you want.
If you meet the abyss, please believe enough:
Things in the world, as long as their vitality is not destroyed, even if they are temporarily blocked, they will eventually rise.
Order
Looking
When you go through all the hardships, the rest of your life will be smooth.
