Written on the side of the Lantern Festival is

now at night, Lantern Festival time. After tonight, this festival known as the New Year will come to an end.
It was raining outside, it should be said that it was spring rain, although it came a little earlier. The sound of rain drowned out those harsh firecrackers.
Went to the office in the morning. I came back at ten o'clock and went to the supermarket on the way to buy some things. Then go home and fall asleep. She slept until four in the afternoon. Still want to sleep.
I've gotten used to this kind of life for a long time. On weekends, it seems very happy to have a sound sleep.


I watched "In the Clouds" off and on. The latest American movies of 2010. A very fitting movie. Economic crisis, bankruptcy, layoffs.
Based on the novel of the same name by American author Walter Ken. Ryan Blingham (George Clooney) works for a company in Omaha, Nebraska, which provides layoff services for other companies, and travels across the country to lay off others more than 300 days a year. Almost home to the airport. On a routine layoff trip, Ryan meets business beauty Alex (Vera Farmiga), and the two fall in love at first sight, but they are both content to maintain a casual sexual partnership. At the same time, Ryan's new college student Natalie (Anna Kendrick) is favored by the company's president, trying to promote the reform of remote layoffs through online video conferences. Ryan opposes change, but has to take Natalie around for an internship to familiarize himself with the business...
Won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director, Best Drama, Best Actor (George Clooney), Best Supporting Actress (Vera Farmiga and Anna Kendrick) and six nominations for Best Screenplay, and won the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Best Screenplay Award.

I suddenly thought of myself, of my own state of mind these past few days. I was also flying constantly, almost like a trapeze. From home to hotel, to and fro in different places.

In one year of junior high school, I owned a beautiful notebook with a sentence on the title page, similar to the frontispiece, with the title: You are the furthest child.
You are the furthest child, and your footprints are traced by many in the world.
At that moment, I knew that it was my destiny.

When I was 28 years old, I read Zhu Xueqin's "Looking for the Missing in the History of Thought", and read a passage from Romain Rolland's "Beethoven":
Thirty years old, some people are just beginning , Some people are already dead.
I felt like I was on fire all of a sudden. I began to feel that I had to change the trajectory of my life.
So change.
That year, I wrote an article and posted it in a certain central-level media. Later, the editor told me that they had received almost two sacks of feedback articles because of this article.

Starting one month last year, I started a new life, working hard in the office and flying around in different cities.
I've been feeling anxious all of a sudden these days. I feel like I've become impatient and can't stand still. I know I need to adjust.

American movies, a lot of them are very mainstream movies. When I say mainstream, I actually mean that they represent the lives of most people.

We all need to go back to the family, because there is love in the family. No matter how arrogant your heart is, how accustomed to being alone.
You are the furthest child, and your footprints are traced by many in the world.
