Bai Yansong: Humanity is not good for material desire

Bai Yansong: Humanity is not inferior to material desires <br /> Mentioned about the United States, maybe people will immediately think that this is a modern country, the pace of life is fast, the city neon lights are flashing, the bar restaurants are singing and dancing, people are intriguing, inhumane, family concept is not Strong, sexually very open, all kinds of consumer desires are strong, money is God. When you arrive in the United States, you will find that the above description is basically in line with the current situation in China, and the relationship with the United States is not too great.
In many cities in the United States, it is not easy to find a restaurant after 8 pm. Many restaurants have been closed. It is even harder to get past 9:10, and the streets are quiet everywhere, including New York. In the days of going to work, it is difficult to see the scene of the bar full of nights and nights, only the weekend will be lively. For those of us who have no time, the TV people are suffering, so some people start to read China: "If we are there..." After all, in the United States, I have to rely on the driver's experience to find restaurants. Of course, there are also clever guidelines: Go to Chinatown. Really, once in Chinatown, the lights are shining, it looks like, the Chinese, really brought the fine tradition to the United States.
This is true in big cities, especially in many small towns in the United States. In the dark, it was so quiet that the outsiders were flustered and had to hurry to find a hotel. They found a place to rely on. However, the light from one household after another tells you the warmth of the Americans. In the United States, many people have photos of their families on their desks, and their happy and harmonious photos reveal the American family concept. Once it was accidental, and twice was the feeling. When I saw such a similar scene again and again, I seemed to see the foundation of the American society and the precious and kind corners of American hearts.
The above scenarios are not only in the United States, but some countries in Europe are even more so than in the United States. The TVs in the home are so small that even many families still use video recorders. People's footsteps have slowed down, life has occupied the upper hand of life, people's eyes, there is a simple and clean thing, people seem to be simple. Then you will feel: It may be that the so-called modernization time is long. It does not mean moving forward, but turning back to find, returning to the human heart and returning to life and life itself. Whether Europe or the United States, including Japan, the environment is once again cleaned up. The frequency of blue sky and white clouds is greatly redundant with China. Obviously, once the mind and life are respected, nature will also be respected.
Observing all of this does not mean envy or criticism of itself, but rather from thinking about the future of China. How long will it take, and what kind of journey will it take? Can our eyes be re-purified to appreciate the happiness of life itself? When to make a family photo appear on one desk after another, instead of saying to a colleague: I am single. Under what kind of environmental protection measures, let the streets of China run from morning to night? Of course, you can also expect that people get along with each other and become simple. They no longer need to use the cleverness accumulated in the five thousand years of culture to fight and fight.
No way, we are still in the development stage of the desire to prevail, we are still in the stage of rewarding life with material, and there is still a distance from the back to the mountains and water to activate life. At this stage, we must face it. No one can jump over. It just doesn't hope. We sacrificed generations in front of desire.

After returning from the United States, I said a word: "In the present China, because of desire, our humanity is in a stage of regression." It is reasonable to say that this is not good, but unexpectedly got the support of eighty-nine percent of netizens. I suddenly realized that in the crowd, a desire full of hope is being formed quietly, and this desire has nothing to do with matter, but it is very close to the spirit.
