origin

When I was researching stocks in early 2021, I followed Shengjing Swordsman. He is a fan of Mr. Wen. Once he shared a video of Mr. Wen Tiejun interpreting the 2021 Central Document No. 1 for more than an hour. After I watched it, I found more videos of Mr. Wen, and then Guoren series books, Global University Hall, and Guoren Township Construction.

twists and turns

As my understanding of stocks and finance deepened, by the second half of 2021, I felt that the job of providing IT technical services for the financial industry was meaningless and I chose to resign. During this period, I tried to find remote work opportunities in the Internet industry, but failed. I was going to change careers to become a teacher, but I gave up halfway through (in the process of taking the teaching qualifications test, I found that the leader’s persuasion was right, the teacher’s job is not so good, and under the system of exam-oriented education, I had to teach some garbage content that I didn’t want to learn at all). Then I was really fragrant, and when I returned to the familiar field, I naturally chose to go to Party A, that is, go directly to the financial company to move bricks. As a result, I entered a fund company very smoothly. The benefits are good. The advantage is that there are few things and stability. The disadvantage is that it is in Shanghai. However, I had a hunch that it wasn’t long because the new job didn’t solve the question of why I left, it just put it on hold. So it becomes a transition. During the transitional days, in my spare time, I pondered the Tao Te Ching piece by piece. During the whole period, I read various books, listened to various teachers’ classes, and learned about the study of the heart. On the eve of the closure of the city in Shanghai, I saw the student plan released by Guoren Township, and I wanted to participate, but I was entangled in every possible way. The opportunity itself was not suitable, but it made me face the question unavoidably: If I don’t do township construction and keep living in Shanghai, what’s the use of learning these things? So, during the closure of Shanghai, I stayed in my room, watching online articles and playing games all day, killing time in emptiness. However, with the unblocking of Shanghai, I gradually returned to my previous rhythm. Not long after, in July, I saw the recruitment announcement of Guan Peisheng, a bookstore in Love Hometown, and signed up.

start again

After passing the interview with the two teachers who love my hometown, I mentioned my resignation. On August 12, I finished the resignation formalities. I left Shanghai on the 13th and arrived at Liuba in Hanzhong in the afternoon to join the Love Hometown team.

This is a new beginning for me, or another departure. I let go of what I’ve been accumulating, become a student, and start doing things I’ve never done before.

Now that two months have passed, I have basically been in Huoshaodian Town, Liuba County. I have participated in the village song project and village research, and visited dozens of households in 7 villages. Although I have done a little thing, it seems that I have done nothing. . Found some problems, but couldn’t do anything about it. I feel powerless. There is a huge gap between reality and ideals. Those good ideas, policies, programs, and plans are beautiful when they hang in the air. Once they land, they are either broken or changed. However, I think there are a lot of my own problems here. The consideration of the problem is too grand and ideal, so that when doing things, the focus is not on the thing itself, but on the idealized goal behind it. Frustration ensues when events in the present don’t help achieve your goals. However, some things are ends in themselves. Just like “The Most Beautiful Fire Shop” created by the Village Song Project, even if it fails to catch fire in the end, it is a unique experience for all participants. I can’t help but think of what Longmei, the party secretary of Foyeba Village, said: “No one has ever asked me what you did before, and if there is an unforgettable story, no one has ever asked me.” What we are doing is nothing but trivial things, but things that no one else has ever done, at least for these few villages, these villagers. Whether it’s something that no one else has ever done, or something I’ve never done, for me it’s an experiment, an exploration, a creation, a practice, and it doesn’t have to have any extra meaning beyond that.
