Beidiao Workplace Illustrated Book

Chapter 323 Summer 2022 (1)
The repeated chaos in the capital city is like our life

Since the end of the May Day holiday, the government has required all people living or working in our district to work from home. Subway No. 14, Line [-], Line [-], Line [-] and many other subways, as well as buses in the area, are also available. All out of service.Immediately afterwards, together with online car-hailing and taxis, a no-go zone was also set up in the south of Chaoyang Road. I live next to Happy Valley on the East Fourth Ring Road, which belongs to Fatou Street, and is far away from Shuangjing, Jinsong, and Panjiayuan The wait is only a few kilometers, so it is considered a no-go area for public transportation, online car-hailing, and taxis. Unless you drive by yourself, you can only go anywhere you want to go by leg or by bicycle. Now I have been at home for nearly a month.

In my memory, this is the first time that such strict management has been implemented.

Every year in May in BJ, I will face many new choices in my life or career. I probably feel that from last year to now, the air has been cold and winter is too long, so in May this year, During this period of staying at home, I am more looking forward to the coming of summer, looking forward to the feeling of hot weather and scorching sun.In the eight years since I came to BJ, I have never observed carefully. When will the summer of BJ really come?It wasn’t until the video of Brother Beidaman was plagiarized by Audi’s advertisement that it became popular on the Internet. I didn’t know that it was Xiaoman on May 5, and it was also on this day that I felt the scorching sun when I went out. When I bought a meal, I was sweating profusely. After returning to my room, I couldn't wait to turn on the air conditioner. BJ's summer finally came on this day.

During this period of staying at home, the scope of my daily activities is only renting a room that is no more than a dozen square meters. Although I have made a daily routine and plan for myself, such as working, reading, studying, and writing, Also go for a run every night.In this way, every day life is very fulfilling.But after a long time, I feel a burst of depression in my heart. This depression may come from setting a lot of goals for myself, but I can't achieve them in a short time.Or maybe because I have just entered a new company, I have to learn a lot of business knowledge and product solutions. In fact, there is another kind, that is, during this period of working from home, I have gradually lost the opportunity to contact this society. Being isolated from the world can cause a lot of anxiety and depression.

I have seen a scientific study that if you have a dog and do not interact with it for a long time or take it out for a walk, the dog will suffer from depression.In fact, the same is true for people. If we stay alone for a long time and lose any contact and intersection with the outside world, over time, you will gradually develop a lot of laziness and negative emotions, and gradually lose your passion for life and work. My mind becomes numb.In the past, we may have been deeply involved in the busyness of work, always clamoring for the so-called freedom and becoming a freelancer, but if we really lived the so-called ideal life, would we be really happy?
During these days of working from home, I kept thinking about life, work, and the next life.I once thought about living a life of solitude, in a world like a paradise of peach blossoms.Read and write during the day.Run in the evening, exercise.Two meals a day, one person, one room, life is ordinary.But during these days at home, God did what I wished, and after I really lived the life I wanted to live, I finally found that such a life is really boring.

There used to be many days when I was busy with work, often traveled across the country, often worked overtime and stayed up late into the night, and often lived a life that I didn't want. I hated that kind of life very much. resigned, drove to XZ by himself, and began to pursue the free life he wanted in his heart.

What is freedom?Freedom is not about doing what you want, but about not doing what you don't want to do.So, I didn’t want to go to work, so I resigned from the trip in a chic way, drove the car alone, walked more than 2 kilometers, and returned to BJ after wandering for two months. Then, I went to work and worked step by step, and continued to work in BJ Life.

It wasn’t until these days that I reflected on my past experience that I realized that work is actually a very important part of your life. You can scold work while doing work every day, and even complain about your own products and bosses. There are all kinds of problems in the work.But you must have it, because only work can give you more sense of accomplishment and security, and it can make your life that you originally thought dull and exciting. There was a long period of time when I and Colleagues are stationed in Jiangxi JDZ on long-term business trips. They work overtime every day and hold meetings until the early hours of the morning. Every time I wait for the bus downstairs in the company after the meeting, I always take a look at the slogan on the wall of the company lobby and feel that the whole day is full of meaning. , full of happiness and a sense of accomplishment.
Until a year later, even though I left that company, I remembered those days when I worked overtime and stayed up all night, we racked our brains to output customized solutions and products, and I remembered the tens of millions of large projects we finally delivered. , I still feel that the extremely busy days were the most fulfilling and meaningful. During those days, every one of us seemed to be shining brightly.

Around the Dragon Boat Festival in June, we resumed going to the company to work. Even though three days after the release, the Sanlitun Paradise Supermarket bar broke out again, but after all, it did not affect the overall situation. I was able to calm down and write this one this weekend. Many months of perception.

In fact, whether it is the turmoil of these years or our life or life, they are all so capricious and unpredictable.But no matter what, I still firmly believe that the turmoil will eventually pass, and our lives will eventually be swayed repeatedly, and we will strengthen our dreams and find our own belonging.

Four months ago, I celebrated my 30th birthday, and in my [-]s, I began to plan for the rest of my life.This is my eighth year in BJ, and I am starting to plan for myself to leave BJ.

After all, I am in my 30s, and I have witnessed my growth in the past eight years, and I have experienced the prosperity of wandering in big cities.The frivolousness of youth, the curiosity about the world, and those loves that were desperate, and the passion of chasing dreams, seem to have been exhausted in the quicksand of time.After a person has experienced big right and wrong, parting from life and death, and the fickleness of the world, he is bound to see many things clearly. The moment you see clearly, you really take things lightly.Then I will return to the essence of life, be neither surprised nor humiliated, neither happy nor sad, choose a way of life that is ultimately suitable for me, and work hard to move forward.

Two years from now, it will be my tenth year of Beidiao, and it seems to be the end of my end of Beidiao, so in the last two years of BJ, I cherish the present life and days very much, and make a plan for myself. I made a few goals and plans, and wanted to use the last two years to draw a successful conclusion to my trip to Beidiao, and then turned around and left with no regrets.

Nowadays, the time every day seems to be insufficient, because I know more and more what I want to do, so I have been walking in a straight line, sometimes I regret that I have wasted a lot of good time, and I have met some people who are not in my life. Meaningful people do a lot of meaningless things.But now, the lost past is irretrievable after all. Only by seizing every breathable day now, and being so busy that I can’t breathe, can I stand on the top of the mountain gracefully, sit and watch the clouds rise and rise, and laugh at the surrounding mountains.

See you at the top of the mountain.
