Slow down

...
Ma: They just drove over like this, I don't know what they missed.
Sa: It wasn't like this in the past...
Ma: Is it?
S: Yes. The intercontinental highway did not exist 40 years ago.
Ma: Really?
S: Yes. At that time, the car traversed the intercontinental in a different way.
Ma: What do you mean?
S: The road does not cut the ground like the intercontinental highway, but it ups and downs and twists together with the ground. The car is not driving for pleasure, but driving for pleasure.
(Music) Long ago, that's a very long ago......

—— "Cars" lines


long ago, trains were slow and roads were bad, because you wanted to be fast and there were no conditions, so everyone went slowly.


I remember the first time I went to Beijing when I was a child, and I had to take a train for 18 hours. Because it is a passing car, there is no seat. Although my good friend and I squeezed on the edge of someone else’s seat for 8 hours, we didn’t get a seat, but we sang and clapped our hands, and then climbed on the train window to see the scenery flashing outside. It was very happy!


Every year when I go back to my hometown, there is no expressway, and it takes 6 hours to take a long-distance bus. The car is bumpy and bumpy. I always like to squeeze into the co-pilot's seat to watch the scenery outside the car, to see the cars we are chasing, the cars that overtake us, the road that stretches into the distance, the trees that are retreating beside the road... After a 6-hour drive, looking back now, there are more interesting memories!


Now that trains are speeding up and there are more and more highways, even people are walking in a hurry. From Wuhan to Beijing, it only takes a night's sleep to open your eyes and you will arrive in Beijing. However, I want to see the Yellow River, but I always cross her in my sleep, and I haven't witnessed her face in person so far. Back home again, you can get there in 3 hours from the highway, so you don’t have to worry about not getting home during the New Year’s Eve dinner. However, there are only speeding cars on the highway. I no longer look at the scenery outside the window, only watching the entertainment movies in the car. Efficiency, speed...the pursuit is getting higher and higher. But the faster the better? Can you get more sooner? Are you happier sooner?


At the Shah Alam Malaysia Agricultural Park, I, Mr. Fu and Mr. Huang each rented a bicycle to visit the park. They hadn't been riding a bicycle for a long time, so they were very excited. After riding in the car, he ran all the way, rushing down the hill like flying, without even the brakes. I also like the joy of speeding down, and I like to listen to the wind whispering in my ears. But I suddenly found a quiet lake before I could see its color and I was left behind. I chased them vigorously from behind, shouting: "Don't just ride your bike and forget to see the scenery!!" I finally caught up with them and then looked at the map. I missed the scenic spot, so I returned to the scenic spot.


In "Cars", the most pleasant part is that Sally and Maquin went "walking". They shuttled on the forest path, undulating and twisting with the mountains, reflecting their shadows in the lake and crossing the canyon. , Passing through the cave, passing by the waterfall... What Ma Quinn feels is no longer the excitement on the arena, but the joy and comfort. It is the surprise of "the mountains and rivers are boundless, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village"!


In fact, it’s the old saying: Don’t just hurry and forget the scenery on the side of the road. It's like Sally living a stressful and prosperous life as a white-collar worker in the city but not feeling happy. How long have you not been out for a walk to see the scenery? Or just want to slow down?


I have to admit that the rapid development of society needs to increase the speed. The speed of trains has many benefits, and the increasing number of expressways provides more convenience. But sometimes, I do miss those green-skinned slow cars that must stop at every stop, and those roads that are not smooth enough.


It feels good to slow down every now and then!
