I haven’t recorded anything for a long time. The first half of the year was just a moment. During the period after the Chinese New Year, I renovated the country house I lived in when I was a child. In this restless world, hidden in a place surrounded by mountains and lakes, I have my own house, read books, surf the Internet, study things I like, work moderately every day, maintain the ability and enthusiasm for learning and study, and think about travel plans in my free time. For me, this is a life that is luxurious enough without being degenerate.

More than three months have passed. During this period, the epidemic broke out again, the Russia-Ukraine war began, prices soared, and oil prices soared. . . The world can never stop. When will the good days four years ago come back? The vast majority of conflicts and wars in the entire world are for profit, which cannot be changed. Just like the vast majority of people are for money, which has not changed since ancient times, modern society is even more intense. This also reminds me of the huge differences between Eastern and Western cultures. Western culture favors competitive games and strengthens itself by suppressing its opponents, while Eastern culture favors the pursuit of win-win coexistence. How to maximize the use of resources without harming harmony, everyone will get a full share of the pie. In addition to bringing trauma in all aspects, war cannot solve the problem. It only solves the problem on the surface, and it does so at a huge visible and invisible cost. Sometimes I wonder if the world's culture and economy were dominated by China instead of the United States. Would it be much more peaceful and the life of the earth could be longer?

The normalization trend of the epidemic is frustrating, with all kinds of inconveniences, waves of instability, and the nervousness of people around you, especially the elderly. It is not good to be infected, but if you live such an awkward life for a long time, everyone has decades of life, and the loss of this invisible serious decline in the quality of life is also huge.

Let's wait and see where the Creator plans to lead this world, and we will know his fate.

Today I saw someone commenting on the Internet that the entrance to the Namtso Scenic Area is actually located on a provincial highway. It’s unbelievable. Although it is said that vehicles passing by will not charge scenic spot tickets as long as they tell the scenic area staff that they are passing by, but this operation really makes people feel a bit ugly. , I also remembered that last year I drove a section of the northern line from Lhasa to Ngari. At that time, the navigation system found that the provincial road was blocked by the gate of Namtso Scenic Area. I didn’t want to pay more than 200 yuan for a ticket to see Namtso. Namtso is quite big. If you avoid Namtso, I walked around for more than 400 kilometers. I was surprised at the time that such a large piece of land could be enclosed for a fee. How could there be such a design? The scenic area blocked the road quite fiercely. Later, I chose to go through the Namtso Scenic Area and found that I could let it go after just talking. There is no need to buy scenic spot tickets. The staff also told me, "You can't get out of the car and go to the lake, and you can't park." I felt that the operation of this scenic spot was very speechless. In theory, the local tourism department has no right to set up scenic spot checkpoints on provincial and national highways, which is illegal.

I have traveled to many places in China and seen various natural scenery in scenic and non-scenic areas. At first, it was natural to get used to buying tickets at scenic spots. But as I saw more, I gradually developed a strong feeling. Why can some people enclose nature and charge for it? Enclosing China's nature and charging fees deprives every Chinese of the right to freely enter and exit their own land. It is all Chinese land, and Chinese people can walk freely on their own land. The concept of scenic spots should be abolished. There are more and more scenic spots now. There were no scenic spots in the first place. It was discovered by some people who love traveling and nature. Once everyone knew about it, more people came. Therefore, some people saw it as a "business opportunity" and circled it. The more they circled it, the more they circled it. If there is a need for what you want to do, there are always people on the side looking for "business opportunities". My point of view is: no one has the right to enclose and charge for natural things, and cancel the concept of scenic spots. If there is, we should also implement "freedom of scenic spots" to exempt all natural landscapes from fees, and everyone has the right to walk freely on the land of this country.

Today’s self-driving tours charge a fee when you get on the expressway, and you also charge when you get off the expressway to enter scenic spots. It is really boring. In addition to the high cost, it also lacks a lot of fun. It feels like driving in an amusement park without the feeling of entering nature. This step-by-step charging model is simple and crude, not only unreasonable, but also ugly. It is very unappetizing and makes people vomit.

Nowadays, new words are always popping up, and words or expressions that have already had the same meaning are re-entered into view in a different form:

Lie down...give up

Ruined... giving up on oneself

Nowadays, various content apps, whether Toutiao, Xiaohongshu, etc., all push content to you based on your preferences, including all the values ​​​​that you agree with, so that you will find it very suitable for your taste, and constantly chew on these pushed contents, thinking that the world cares and promotes the same things as you think, and your three views are consistent with the three views that the world considers to be correct. You think that opening your mobile phone is the objective world, but in fact you are just a client fooled by big data personalization.

After looking at it, the high temperature in Wuxi (40 degrees) can only be controlled by Turpan (42 degrees) in the whole country. I finally can't stand it anymore. I will set off tomorrow and drive in the Northeast. It doesn't sound very exciting. I will walk along the border between China and North Korea and the border between China and Russia. This description is more awesome. This 75L large mountaineering bag has been with me for almost 20 years, and it is still stable and sturdy.

关于目前国内防疫下的社会现象和疑问

What is more frightening is not the virus, but the lockdown, isolation, discrimination, and being forced to go to the hospital. All the enthusiastic people who keep urging you to get vaccinated and wear masks are not doing it for your own good, but because they are worried that they themselves will be infected by you. All excessive epidemic prevention measures are not for the safety of people's lives, but for the fear of losing their reputation. A hypocritical social relationship was born. This is the essence of the current epidemic society. Don't pretend.

When people are sick, why can't they choose how to respond? Instead, they are forced to be "transported" to an isolation hospital for drug treatment. They have no choice in the drugs and methods of treatment. Does this violate people's rights?

A very common reason is that when I am sick, why can't I choose how to deal with it by myself? Instead, I am kidnapped and forced to implement a series of measures in the name of "for everyone's good". Infectious diseases are not just new in the past two years, they have been around since ancient times, but this policy has not happened since ancient times.

There is no official explanation of the actual harm of COVID-19 to people. However, I have seen a lot of information about the exaggerated harm of COVID-19. Is there a chain of interests involved? It is hard not to think so.

Whether these therapeutic drugs have side effects is a question mark. The structure of a life is so complex, and although everyone's living body is of the same kind, there are huge individual differences. How to ensure that the drug treatment is suitable for everyone is a paradox in itself, and it is implemented roughly.

At present, most countries in the world have chosen the coexistence strategy. Why should we choose the choice of a few countries? A bold guess is that everything is strange and must be caused by interests.

生活方式的趋同

Nowadays, people's lifestyles are highly convergent. The contents of work, work, entertainment, weekends, holidays, and festivals are getting closer and closer to the same content, resulting in a monotonous and homogeneous society. There are fewer and fewer unique people, interesting people, and personalized lifestyles. Everyone is a machine of the same model, running in unison. As the main living environment, cities have similar layouts. Each city has the same layout and the same design. If you travel around China and keep walking from one city to another, sometimes you will not know which city you are in. The same business district, the same pedestrian street, the same square, and the same high-speed rail station. Such a living environment is also one of the factors leading to a high degree of convergence in lifestyles.

There are fewer and fewer people with individuality. Maybe it’s because people with individuality cannot survive in today’s society.

宝藏网站发现

Recently I discovered a treasure website, the world's largest digital library, with more than 10 million books, free of charge. The biggest advantage is that it can be imported into WeChat Reading and opened in the Mac Book App. Although it is not a native app book, the layout is still neat after being imported into WeChat Reading and the Mac Book App. This is what makes me put it down and use it. There is also a function that can be sent to Kindle. I have not tested it, and the Kindle has been lying flat in the corner for a long time and has not been used. . .

The method of importing WeChat reading is very simple. I usually use my iPad to read WeChat reading. After downloading it on my Macbook, I use the AirDrop function to send it to the iPad. After successful sending, the iPad will prompt me to select the app to open. There will be a column for WeChat reading. Selecting it will automatically import WeChat reading. Note that there are many format options for downloading books. I feel that the mobi format is more regular than the txt format.

关于数字游民

I want to talk about digital nomads. The concept of digital nomads originated from a best-selling book ten years ago called "The 4-hour work week". The author is the founder of the global digital nomad community. He used this book to promote this way of working, or more precisely, as a way of life. After that, it slowly began to become popular in a certain range. Most of them are a living state that young people love or yearn for.

To put it simply, digital nomads refer to a group of people who earn income through the Internet, live and work at the same time, and travel around the world or even around the world. Just by hearing this, many people should like it, especially young people.

In the past two years, this concept has slowly become popular in China. Many people are actively embracing this way of life and work. There are many communities, many groups, and many podcasts online with this theme. Although it is a bit difficult, many people have successfully transformed into digital nomads, and to a certain extent, they can live and work anywhere.

Generally speaking, this is a kind of thing that is not only free, but also feels cool when you say it. It is also a little different, plus 3 points of envy.

I lived a similar life several years ago. At that time, I didn’t know that there was such a thing as a digital nomad. It was during a trip to Nepal that someone called me a digital nomad. However, this is a label that others put on you. I don’t care. In order to quickly identify and classify people in modern society, there are too many labels. Many labels are inaccurate or even very misunderstood.

Speaking of being a digital nomad, I have experienced this kind of life for two or three years. At the beginning, I was very excited to be able to live and work anywhere as mentioned in the book. Wander anywhere, and then gradually settle down in a place you like until you get tired of it, go home, and live peacefully at home for a period of time, then get ready and set off again, choose a place you like, stay there, and then get tired of staying, go home and live a peaceful life, and the cycle repeats. It is actually like a pendulum, but the displacement is different every time, but the place of return is always the same.

I have also met people who are similar to digital nomads during my travels. I have encountered relatively many industries, including coders who are developers, graphic designers, purchasers of specialties in travel destinations, travel self-media, writers and books, and speculators in various financial products. There are also people who provide remote one-on-one training and lectures, text translators, and some freelance order-taking websites who take various orders. I label people who travel in these ways as digital nomads.

As time goes by, you will find some problems with being a long-term digital nomad. First of all, most digital nomads work in technical jobs. Many of them need to continue to learn and improve and keep pace with the times. After all, they have no fixed place to live when they travel everywhere. Learning a new thing is a must. To be immersed, you need a stable and quiet environment without interruption to effectively digest new skills. After all, the living environment of digital nomads is relatively homeless. Freelancing is not easy and the income is not high. Many of them save money and stay in youth hostels, although they are suitable for social interaction. However, the environment is not suitable for deep learning. Whether you go to a cafe or a variety of consumption places where you can sit down, it is always a public place. The environment often changes beyond your control, which will affect your in-depth learning and work. Long-term simple work and superficial learning cannot keep you up with industry changes. After a year, your skills will begin to lag behind and depreciate, so your income will also decline along with it, or even make ends meet.

Digital nomads have other problems, but I don’t want to go into them. It’s too verbose to talk about them, but this is pouring a little cold water on this lifestyle. It’s not as good as it seems. It’s good to experience an interesting lifestyle, but it shouldn’t be too long. Perhaps many people pursue it also to satisfy a sense of superiority and lifestyle. Comparison has given birth to a new track. . .
