Opening Dialogue of the 8th One-way Street Bookstore Literature Festival
As Hesse ardently wrote in his poem, “Love flows, love flies, loves life, loves wide and faithful, and never loves dead things” . Looking back on the past, how to know love and how to look at life is an eternal topic.
We yearn for love, but are always confused about what to love and how to love—often we are already in love; ——The turning point of the desperate situation may be coming along with the waves.
The occurrence of love is often a natural and magical life experience. Looking back, it is like a godsend. It is these “mysterious guardian forces” that help us overcome the difficulties in reality, strengthen the future path and move forward calmly.
The opening dialogue of the 8th One-way Street Literature Festival, together with the chief partner Volvo Cars , invited Yu Minhong, chairman of New Oriental Education Technology Group, and Xu Zhiyuan, the writer and founder of One-way Space, to give a speech on “The Course of Love and Life – Our Reading History” The title is to share the decisive moments about love and life in each other’s literary memory.

In this opening dialogue, the two guests will talk about how they have learned and felt love through reading over the years, discovered the diverse patterns and precious values of life, and then regained their inner stability in the real dilemma, and faced it with action. world today.

The most everyday and essential core of life is love.
Growing up in the nourishment of literature, both Yu Minhong and Xu Zhiyuan had encountered “love” in the print.
what is love?
“Love is the embodiment of creativity” – Fromm told us in “The Art of Love” that love is the expression of inner creativity, not a passive impulse, but an active pursuit of human development and happiness.
“Love is the heroic loss of self that comes with passion” – Sontag said.
Over time, countless writers have devoted all their personal sensibilities, trying to convey their observation, understanding and realization of love to readers with infinite sensitivity and the most sincere attitude. We travel through time and space and experience joys and sorrows in the stories of others. These most concise and precise strokes have become our initial definition of “love”.
The movie Patterson
Of course it doesn’t stop there. After reading “The Fantastic Journey of Shepherd Boys”, Yu Minhong wrote in his thoughts, “Everyone will find his own ‘personal myth’ in his life. Where will the future lead? What will be the end? I don’t know. , and I don’t want to know. The only thing I know is that the road will always stretch under my feet. As long as life is there, the road will never end.”
In the vast sea of historical materials, Xu Zhiyuan read out that Liang Qichao and other characters who were “imprisoned” in literature and textbooks have their own romantic and gentle side: in Honolulu, he fell into a short-lived love madly and restrainedly; His son Liang Sicheng will go to Europe for his honeymoon, and he made a special trip to write down a thoughtful “strategy”. Attracted by the stories of fresh activists, Xu Zhiyuan decided to continue writing.
Whether we love ourselves, others, the steaming sweet potatoes on the streets of winter, or a specific dream or an abstract concept, in love, we can always reap some kind of sweet and stable energy, reassuring our hearts and possessing The courage to face reality.
02
In a wider territory, bravely step into the unknown
The literary world mirrors reality. Books are not arbitrary summaries of stories and memories. They provide readers with a model of self-transcendence.
For Xu Zhiyuan, reading is a natural state that always accompanies him. And roaming is another ideal way to pick up fragments of ideas in addition to the adventure of ideas. “I traveled all over China to observe what my compatriots are like, how they evaluate their lives, and how they have been shaped and influenced by historical changes.” He said that this is also a process of self-discovery.
The movie “Motorcycle Diary”
Yu Minhong and the famous traveler Xu Xiake are fellow villagers. He believes that “in the process of iterative upgrading of life, reading and travel play an equally important role”, and human progress requires continuous expansion in space. So he walked on the streets of Mumbai, stood on the Sydney Harbour Bridge to enjoy the sunset, and lost his way on the Hulun Buir grassland.
During travel, our previous reading experience is activated; what we see and hear on the road is another round of curiosity. With certainty and hope, we can keep moving forward.
03
The spirit of dialogue, love and the continuation of life
“Spirit of Dialogue” is the theme of the 6th One-Way Street Literature Festival, which is still timeless.
From “Jujuan” to “Old Yu Gossip”, from “Thirteen Invitation” to “Xu Zhiyuan’s Roaming Story”, in the media age, Mr. Xu and Mr. Yu have become “new anchors”, adapting to new forms of communication and continuing to bring audiences To new ideas, new insights.
“Thirteen Invitation”
Under the popularity of “Oriental Selection”, Yu Minhong still adheres to the concept of the New Oriental period, “one cloud drives another cloud, one soul awakens another soul”. He said that even if this is a momentary hilarity, it is indeed an opportunity that can serve as a wake-up call and double down on “cultivating oneself and benefiting others”.
“See You”
As Zagayevsky always emphasizes, “uncertainty and enthusiasm do not conflict.” Even if there are countless futures waiting for us to experience, not being shaken by external uncertainty is the source of motivation for all actions. The protection of love and life will inject more solid support for this action, giving us the courage to risk everything for the belief in our hearts.
“Only love and life cannot be let down.” Volvo Cars has long spared no effort to promote the concept of integrating the automotive industry with humanistic care, and attaching equal importance to the sense of security and aesthetics. In conjunction with the 8th One-way Street Bookstore Literature Festival, Volvo Cars launched this dialogue on love and life.
In the moment that flashes quickly and extends endlessly, there is always some protection, which injects strength into the feeling of powerlessness. New paths emerge by accident, and life can still shine brightly in an uncertain future.
Please look forward to Xu Zhiyuan and Yu Minhong’s answers.
