Chapter 470: Impermanent Things, Colorful Voices (8)
The pick-up at the airport was smoother than expected. With the help of headphones, Qiao Yu was finally able to shuttle among the noisy crowds like a normal person. The sound of the suitcase's pulley rolling across the ground, the on-site announcements, and the sound of people talking and Walking briskly towards the destination amidst various mobile phone notification tones.
As the saying goes, all living beings are mediocre. It is true that most people living in this world have been busy all their lives. They have no brilliant achievements or great deeds that can be recorded in history. They just live a mediocre and hard life, with ordinary achievements at a level that is consistent with their own social and psychological realm. Joy, anger, sorrow and joy.
However, if you look carefully and listen carefully, you can notice something different. Each person - not a "people" or a member of a "crowd", but everyone - has his or her unique emotions, simple or complex, never repeated by others.
Just like "crying" and "laughing" are broad concepts, people will shed tears and raise the corners of their mouths, but the reasons for doing so are different for everyone.
Before groups, people are individuals first.
Qiao Yu seemed to understand something at this moment, and his originally brisk and slightly eager pace slowed down.
She seemed to be able to see a third-party perspective. From this perspective, she stood in the center, surrounded by people coming and going, and everyone's figure was changing rapidly, with a vague shadow.
Qiao Yu raised her hand and moved it behind her ears.
In an instant, the sound and its associated information poured in, and a picture immediately spread out in front of her eyes.
Every small color block has a different color.
"That's what people are."
A voice that was both familiar and unfamiliar sounded faintly in her ears, "A unique person."
Qiao Yu was stunned for two seconds and realized that it was Qin Jue's voice.
The low, old, middle-aged voice full of vicissitudes of life may have sounded in that tragic and cruel apocalypse.
"Please let me thank you..."
There was a reminder from a passerby behind him, and Qiao Yu stepped aside and said "Sorry".
She blinked her eyes and walked automatically to the pick-up place, her mind still racing with thoughts.
It's hard to explain something like an epiphany.
People often catch something, think of something, and realize something by chance at a certain moment in their lives—it may be a night of sitting quietly in the dark, or it may be a sudden second.
Qiao Yu stood at his destination.
I see.
She watched the passengers of different shapes walking out, while her mind drifted to a distant place.
Is this the philosophy that my sister is practicing invisibly?
"Everyone is different, everyone is human."
This sounds like nonsense, because anyone can say with a smile or speechlessly: Isn't this of course? The gender is different, the appearance is different, the family background, experience, temperament, etc. are different... of course people are different!
However, can people really keep this important premise in mind in life and thinking?
For example, like a teacher.
Of course teachers know that every student is an independent individual, but don't they generally divide them into categories such as "top students", "mid-range students" and "poor students"?
Or, rice circle.
"XXX is chasing stars, it's crazy, there are so many stupid fans now", "Don't bring the fandom behavior here, thank you", do these kinds of final things happen rarely?
Labeling and scoping are not a rare phenomenon, but for most people, it is a convenient and effortless way of remembering.
Everyone has their own things to be busy with, so they don’t have that much time and energy to carefully understand a group or concept that has little to do with their own interests. Therefore, preconceptions, generalizations, and stereotypes are formed.
Furthermore, their thinking and behavior will also change.
At certain times, it is extremely efficient to treat people who have something in common as a group. It facilitates statistics and allows people in high positions to more easily coordinate planning and macro-control based on big data.
But at some times, its disadvantages are equally obvious, that is, it ignores human nature.
Does the boss care whether each employee's stress comes from finances, family or health? uncertain.
When people surf the Internet and see the comments of a certain netizen, will they assume that he or she is also the same person as themselves? not necessarily.
So too many people vent their emotions, talk about their misery, and expect others to understand and care, but they cannot treat others equally - so empathy disappears and everyone is superior.
The tide of society and public opinion drives people to establish camps and then join the ranks in different categories. Then one group attacks the other.
Then more opposites were added, men and women, bosses and workers, parents and children, rich and poor, beautiful and ugly, and so on.
It seems that in this society, people cannot survive without finding a completely opposite thing or group.
As a result, dualistic thinking has expanded crazily, while independent thinking is declining. The moral kidnapping required by the group to require individuals has gradually weakened personality development.
Check the ingredients before speaking, slap the blame on the first sentence, and then argue and curse.
Does anyone still think of that sentence at this time?
"Everyone is different, everyone is human."
Qiao Yu took a deep breath.
She thought again of the person closest to her, Qin Jue, who was a very incredible person.
In Qin Jue's eyes, every one of her fans is different.
She can remember each of their IDs, nicknames, and trivial life details, and she can sense each of their moods.
Qin absolutely treats her characters the same way. So far, the characters she has performed are all different. They are not templates or routines. They are not settings wrapped up by various labels, but real people.
That's it, that's it.
Qiao Yu closed his eyes.
The rare ability gives her a perspective that transcends the public, but it also brings corresponding arrogance.
She can perceive, analyze, and respond to benefit herself or avoid harm. But this whole process is extremely utilitarian in nature, with her as the center from the beginning to the end. Once the goal is achieved, those "tool people" will be put aside and no longer involved, so that they can retreat and continue to hide safely in her shell. inside.
If you ignore human nature, you will lose your feelings, you will be unable to open your heart, and it will be difficult to have close friends.
The figure of Masako Riki carrying a small suitcase appeared in view.
Qiao Yu gathered her thoughts, composed herself, and threw the opening line she had originally thought of into the corner of her memory.
She waved her hand and walked quickly, and at a glance she saw Rimu Masako's lightly frowned eyebrows and slightly slow steps.
"Sorry, Sister Liya, I didn't expect to bring you some hot drinks."
Qiao Yu's palm covered Masako Limu's hand holding the suitcase handle, and it felt slightly cool. Combined with her unnatural walking style, it was not difficult to guess what happened.
"Eh?"
Li Mu Masako was stunned, her cheeks were slightly red, but her heart suddenly felt warm.
She didn't expect that the first conversation between the two would be like this.
"Let's find a place to rest first. Are you lactose intolerant? Can you order a cup of hot milk?"
Qiao Yu asked softly.
Masako Rimaki blushed and nodded in response to her. After the two sat down at the nearest fast food restaurant, Masako Rimaki held the hot paper cup in both hands and pursed her lips with a smile.
"Miss Qiao, you and Mr. Qin look alike."
She lowered her eyelids slightly and said with a slight smile.
"Ah, this..."
Qiao Yu was at a rare loss. He blinked quickly, and a small burst of joy burst out from his heart.
It was all because of her sister that she had changed unconsciously.
When it comes to the little fox, I tend to write in a stream-of-consciousness and philosophical way, but I personally like it quite a lot. It’s very comfortable and fun to write.
One very important thing: it is inevitable that those who stay around Qin Jue, or those who are influenced by her, will have a broadened mentality and outlook.
I believe Qiao Yu is definitely not the only one. (laugh)
It would be good to have this kind of change, gain some insights, and gain something that is beneficial to one's own growth.
