to sing rock music, to fall in love, and to travel around the world on a motorcycle

-- those unfulfilled and unrealized dreams

because the Strawberry Music Festival has just ended, these days Douban Radio, Weibo, Wechat's moments, and groups are all talking about Zhang Manyu participating in the music festival as a singer. A friend complained in the group that when she was taking the elevator, she heard someone talking about Maggie Cheung Sing. The man listened to the scene of Mordu and said it was too ugly and had no place to hide. Some people in the group also complained that because the goddess sang so badly that everyone ran away, she was forced to be pulled down by the staff, and then kept shouting "still sing". Although I don't know whether the details are true or false, I have seen a lot of netizens complaining about the goddess these days. What "none of the words are in tune", "this is the voice of God giving up", "a generation of goddesses finally destroyed themselves", and so on.

I have always liked Maggie Cheung, so I found a video to watch on the Internet. This video shows her performing at the Beijing Strawberry Music Festival. In the beginning, she mocked herself: "the performance in Shanghai the day before yesterday was not so ideal. I walked a lot out of tune. I also used Baidu yesterday. I used Pinyin because my computer could not type Chinese, so it might not spell well or something." I typed in, 'Why don't you go out of tune at the strawberry concert', but I didn't find it. So today will be the same as the day before yesterday, will still be out of tune. However, I will try. I have acted in more than 20 plays and told people about vases, so give me 20 chances. I should be able to do it! "

maybe my tears are low. To tell you the truth, I was moved by her instantly because of her frankness and incomparable courage. Interestingly, I thought of a short story by Haruki Murakami, "reattacking the Bakery".

late one night, the couple, who had just been married for half a month, suddenly woke up and felt hungry like an atomic bomb. They could not fall asleep. After sweeping away the little food left in the refrigerator, they drank several cans of beer. Hunger is still "unusually ferocious". This is how I describe this sense of hunger. Floating on the quiet sea in a small boat. two。 Looking down, you can see the top of the undersea volcano in the water. When both of them were hungry, "I" blurted out "when robbing a bakery," and my wife grabbed it and asked hurriedly.

it turns out that ten years ago, a partner and I robbed a bakery. At that time, they were poor, but they didn't want to work to meet their daily needs, so they did a lot of stupid things, including robbing a bakery. The purpose of their robbery was not for money, but for bread to eat. Their operation was not a robbery at all. Because the bakery owner was a classical music lover, he offered to take as much bread as he wanted as long as they accompanied him through Wagner's prelude. So they put away their knives, listened to the music honestly, and succeeded in getting bread.

after this, my life changed. I went back to college, graduated successfully, and stopped dating my partner. "I," said: "however, it is not a specific problem that seems to be tangible. It is just that a lot of things have changed slowly with that event as a watershed." And once it changes, it can never be undone. "

"I" feel that listening to Wagner is a curse on his head. "We still feel that there is some serious mistake in it. This fallacy casts a shadow over our lives. It is a curse that allows no room for doubt. "

on this matter, the wife said, "as long as you don't break the spell yourself, it will torture you to death like a bug tooth." Not only you but also me. " She thought she had found the source of hunger and was sure to defuse it by "robbing the bakery again and acting immediately." [1]

so the two men prepared their tools and drove ready to rob the bakery. Because they couldn't find an open bakery in the middle of the night, the two finally robbed a McDonald's with a powder gun, forced three clerks to make 30 hamburgers, tied them to posts with ropes, and left with hamburgers.

isn't this story fascinating? Seeing this, many people will ask: what does Maggie Cheung's Sing have to do with the story of "re-attaching the bakery"? "I" attacked the bakery again, and after a good meal, "leaned up from the boat and looked hard at the bottom of the sea, the appearance of the undersea volcano was gone." In each of us, there is a bakery that once wanted to rob, and there is a volcano located in the deep sea. Maggie Cheung is no exception. Sing is her undersea volcano.

A goddess-like Maggie Cheung does nothing. She can always be a goddess by participating in one or two activities a year and shooting one or two commercials. Why bother to go to Sing to damage her image and be complained by everyone? Anyone who knows something about Maggie Cheung probably knows that she has always been fond of music, and one of her childhood dreams is singing. When Maggie Cheung first made her debut, when she took part in the Miss Hong Kong competition, she said that she preferred singers to actors. In 2001, she sang the song "in the mood for Love" with Tony Leung in the movie in the mood for Love. In addition to bringing Maggie Cheung the queen crown, the 2004 movie Clean has a more important meaning: she can Sing. Music used to be a "forbidden area" that she longed to touch but dared not touch. In the film, Maggie Cheung sings four songs: "Strawberry Stain", "Down In The Light", "Wait For Me" and "She Can\ & # 39th t Tell You".

this time rekindled her dream of music and opened her way to music. It is said that she spent two years trying to learn how to make music, how to edit, and how to make music on the computer. What recording? Put some small books all over the house and write down the lyrics that pop up at any time. However, she exposed her shortcomings to reporters a long time ago. Her friends would tease her on KTV Sing. She once said, "my Sing is always out of tune." But it's a little better now. " In 2012, she opened her mouth to sing her original song "Visionary Heart" in Beijing and received a lot of applause.

in March this year, Maggie Cheung signed a low-key contract to become one of its singers, which seems to have realized her Sing dream. Maggie Cheung admitted her love of music. "from childhood in England to filming for so many years, I have never stopped listening to music, so music has become a habit in my life." Over the years, I have also liked to find new music to listen to. Music brings me a lot of different feelings, fun, and memories. Thank you very much for enjoying so much happiness from such a simple thing. I very much hope that my music can also share some feelings with you. "

in addition to the videos at the Strawberry Music Festival, I have heard Maggie Cheung's Sing before. Her voice is deep, husky, and unique. Her songs are not pleasant, but they are equally infectious, such as "Strawberry Stain" in "cleaning" and her original song "Visionary Heart".

I like Maggie Cheung not so much as Maggie Cheung who sings. With what she said, "such a simple thing can enjoy so much happiness," I saw such a woman, who would be 50 years old in a few months, singing rock music on the stage, swaying in a graceful posture, showing amorous feelings in her movements, enjoying her dreams and enjoying the music she had always loved. Why not be moved? Isn't the rock spirit breaking the rules, always young, always passionate, and dreaming? And people will continue to work hard, maybe one day in her fifties, she will not only be a movie star, but also a big singer.

I spent the whole May Day holiday obsessed with the Korean drama "Secret meeting", which is a very brain-intensive Korean drama (I don't know how many people will laugh to death, but I mean it). The protagonist is a middle-aged working woman with a successful career, loyal to an art consortium, bullied in the game of power, calmly and hypocritically selling her soul. Dubbed "love incompetence" by her best friend, she fell in love with a piano genius 22 years younger than herself. They love and redeem each other because of their common love for classical music. The heroine saves the talent of the hero, and the hero saves the aging and numb soul of the heroine.

I remember an episode in which the heroine got together with her girlfriends to talk about their youth. When others are busy enjoying simple and happy girlhood and romantic and sweet love, she only thinks about how to cling to power and how to get ahead. As she said this, there was a trace of tears on her face, which made the viewer infinitely saddened.

in my opinion, the beginning of a spiritual relationship at the age of 42 is the last salvation of her entire life, although it breaks moral taboos and is full of unpredictable dangers.

whether it is Maggie Cheung's Sing, the re-attack on the Bakery, or the dangerous love of the heroine in the Secret meeting, I have seen how powerful those unfulfilled and unfulfilled wishes are.

I'm 29 years old who wrote this article, and this month I'm going to do something I've always wanted to do but haven't done-- wearing braces. My teeth have been irregular since I was a child, and I have been longing for my parents to fix my teeth, but because of the poor conditions at home, I have never had a chance to fix my teeth. Six months ago, I prepared the money and began to see the dentist. Three teeth were pulled out in the last two months, and this month I began to wear braces. The doctor said that because I was too old, I had to wear braces for two years. I remember when I was doing a dental mold in the hospital last month, my heart was moved and sad. I finally realized one of my wishes and felt very happy and full.

if those dreams and wishes cannot be fulfilled and realized, the undersea volcano in your heart will always exist, reminding you that it has become a curse in your life. Maybe it will always be there, sleeping, but perhaps more likely, one day it will erupt with devastating consequences. Singer Britney Spears is a good example.

Britney Spears has been called "Britney Spears", but the half-popular woman has been plagued by a series of negative news: repeated drug use; 55-hour marriage farce; divorce twice; promiscuity; sex videotapes uploaded to the Internet; went to a nightclub with Paris Hilton and was photographed by paparazzi without underwear. In a nightclub, she put on a bikini and fishnet socks in public, played sex games with two dancers, and was videotaped; she shaved all her hair herself; frantically asked the ordinary people on the street to take a picture with her. She kept falling from the goddess.

Why is the goddess-like this? One of the things that have to be mentioned is her relationship with her mother. Since the age of two, Britney Spears has been robbed of her childhood by her mother, Lynn. While other children are living a carefree time for ordinary children, Britney Spears is arranged by her mother for countless Sing classes, dance lessons, auditions, stage performances, and ad shoots. Her mother, Lynn, often takes little Britney Spears thousands of miles from her hometown in Louisiana to New York, Florida, and California in search of every chance to be famous in show business.

in 2005, Britney Spears, who had just given birth to her first son, gave an exclusive interview with the magazine and swore to reporters that she would give her son something she never had: a normal childhood. "an artist, especially when he is very young, you are eager to please people and become what they want to be," she said. "

Britney Spears began her rebellious period at the age of 25, for her unsatisfied and realized child. A deliberate rebellion was carried out in 2000. She felt like a liar and a fake for a long time because she didn't think she was herself as a singer. She has been eager to live an ordinary life and be able to live for herself, but she did not find an appropriate way, but went to the extreme, rebelled for the sake of rebellion, and paid a heavy price for it. It took her several years to pull herself together and return to singing, but there are still rumors of affairs.

it's too late for Britney Spears to rebel at the age of 25. I have observed that there are some people in China whose rebellious period comes even later. There is a group of middle-aged men in their forties and fifties. From childhood, most of them are the good children of their parents, the good students of teachers, the good employees of the boss, the good companions of their wives, and the good fathers of their children. One day, they suddenly abandoned their wives and children, gave up all their responsibilities, ran away from home, and started a new life in a different city. Or fall madly in love with a woman who is willing to give up all his property and his family, and even doesn't care about his well-run career and reputation.

this may be explained by the fact that the wayward and rebellious children in their hearts are not released during puberty, and their rebellious wishes are not fulfilled and realized. The rebellion of children and adolescents is the awakening of self-consciousness and the inner expression of "being myself". These middle-aged uncles never rebelled and felt that they had never really lived for themselves, so there was a volcanic eruption in middle age.

back to Britney Spears, her relationship with her mother is often strained, and the two even broke up for a time. Her mother Lynn even published various scandals about her daughter. I would guess that Britney's mother wants her daughter to become a star and exercise strict control over her daughter from an early age because she has an unfulfilled dream of being a star. Once, Lynn boasted online that although she was in her forties, she was as avant-garde as her 22-year-old daughter Britney. She wrote: "it's so interesting that I haven't seen her (Britney Spears) for a week, only to find that our clothes are very similar, even in the same chocolate color. It seems that although we are not together, our vision is still the same. "

Lynn's speech caused many fans to ridicule. One fan replied: "the mothers of many stars are always thinking about how to discipline their children, but the mother seems eager to replace her." [2]

if Britney's mother Lynn could reflect on herself: does she impose her will on her daughter? Do you impose your unfulfilled superstar dream on your daughter? What is the purpose of all this behavior of the daughter? Does your control hurt your daughter? If she can reflect on these issues, maybe their mother-daughter relationship can be improved.

there may be more examples like Britney Spears in China. Among those persistent and abnormal college entrance examination candidates who must be admitted to a famous school, how many are carrying their parents' unfulfilled wishes and dreams? Because of the limitations of the environment and the times, many people of their parent's generation wanted to go to college and could not be realized, so many of them, after becoming parents, imposed their unfulfilled wishes and lost dreams on their children. causing an unbearable burden in a child's life. I saw a news report: a child was studying again for several years to realize his father's dream of Peking University, and finally, the child almost committed suicide.

such examples in life are not new, not to mention the countless parents and things that force their children to choose a certain major, work in a certain industry, and force their children to marry someone. They impose their own will and unfulfilled personal dreams on others, whipping the free souls of others like torture.

the child of a relative was severely criticized by his father when he was doing his homework. He protested next to him: "there are three kinds of stupid birds in the world. The first one flies first and the second one doesn't fly." Then I asked him, "what's the third one?" He looked at his father and said, "the third kind lays an egg and places its hopes on the next generation." At that time, I was so surprised that I was speechless. In reality, how many "stupid birds" only laid eggs and pinned their dream of spreading their wings on Fly on the next generation?

there was once a popular bank advertising film "Dream Knight" in Taiwan, which became popular in the mainland and overseas. This commercial is based on a true story. A group of old people used to travel on motorcycles when they were young, and then they always had a dream: to ride motorcycles together again. But this dream has never come true. One day, one of them died. So this group of old people with an average age of 81 began to work hard for their dreams when they suffered from cancer and heart disease and lived unhappily. They carried out painstaking collective physical training and then rode on motorcycles, carrying photos of their beloved wife and friends, for 13 days, challenging the 1139-kilometer journey around the island. This advertisement is so inspiring that people can't help but burst into tears, passionate and encouraged.

I remember the copywriter of this advertisement reads:

Why do people live?

for missing?

to survive?

Bring out a sense of concinnity with our high neck wedding dresses . New and stylish arrivals up for grabs now!

to live longer?

or to leave?

5 Taiwanese

mean age

1 hard of hearing

1 has cancer

3 have heart disease

each has degenerative arthritis

13 days

some netizens commented on this advertisement: as long as you can work hard for your dream, you will never be old and young at the age of 81! I agree. Participated in activities at that time, now nineZhu Miaogui, a 14-year-old man, said, "I am very happy to be able to fulfill my dream in my old age, and so many people have been moved by this story." You see, this is the harvest after the down-to-earth payment for one's dream. In addition to the happiness that comes true, it can also move many people and influence many people. For example, Maggie Cheung's courage in playing rock touched me.

since childhood, we have had a lot of wishes and dreams, some of which have come true, but more can not be satisfied and realized, or even can never be realized. I have a dream of becoming a figure skater, which will never come true in my life. But what does it matter? I have other dreams. This does not prevent me from enjoying ice dance as my hobby. Every time I watch a figure skating show, I enjoy my happiness. I think Maggie Cheung is just as happy when she enjoys music.

maybe you also have unfulfilled wishes and unfulfilled dreams. This is huge energy hidden in your heart, like an active volcano. How to make this energy play positively? If you can, please work hard for yourself and shout out like Maggie Cheung: I will try. Everyone should pay for their dreams, neither impose them on their children or partners nor impose them on others. More importantly, don't be kidnapped by other people's dreams. Face up to your true self and describe your dreams.

if you can't work hard for your dream, then grieve for the lost dream, really grieve for the lost, irrevocable life, and then let go of this grief, such as Britney Spears wants to grieve for the lost happy childhood, and then be more real yourself and move on. Either work hard for the dream and strive for it, or grieve for the dream and let it go, but don't suppress the dream and do nothing.

I hope that when we are 50 years old, we can still have the spirit of dream riders, sing rock music, fall in love with each other, and travel around the world on a motorcycle!
