Anyone who is "outstanding" must have paid more than his peers, and he must also be lonelier! Just like the genius boy Lin Jiawen , he published a 300,000-word historical monograph "When Taoists Ruled China" at the age of 16. This book has a comprehensive, detailed, in-depth and original thinking on the history of our country, and has won the recognition of major celebrities in the circle. High praise from the guy. Since his future is so bright, why did he choose to jump off the building a hundred days before the college entrance examination? Perhaps some clues can be gleaned from the last words he left behind, "See through two things in life."
Historical genius "Lin Jiawen"!
Lin Jiawen was born in Xi'an in 1998 into a scholarly family. His maternal great-grandfather, maternal grandparents, and mother were all teachers, and his father worked in a law school. Influenced by the family atmosphere, Lin Jiawen fell in love with reading since he was a child, especially historical books. When he was in elementary school, "00 Forums" was on the air. Whenever the program was broadcast, Lin Jiawen would always stay in front of the TV. But after watching the show, Lin Jiawen always asked his parents all kinds of weird questions, such as why the Han people's attack on the Xiongnu was an act of justice, while the Xiongnu's attack on the Han people was an invasion? Faced with her son's question, her mother did not directly tell Lin Jiawen the answer, but asked him to find the answer in books.
Therefore, his parents bought Lin Jiawen a large number of history books, including official and unofficial history, domestic and foreign. As long as their son wanted to read, his parents would buy them for him. In this way, in order to solve the doubts in his heart, Lin Jiawen read a large number of history books and accumulated a wealth of historical knowledge. It is said that whenever there is a history class, the history teacher always leaves some time for Lin Jiawen to supplement some historical materials. It was not until junior high school that Lin Jiawen began to think academically about history. In order to record his thoughts, he began to write his first book "When Taoism Ruled China" and published this historical work at the age of 16.
However, because Lin Jiawen was low-key by nature, he did not want to be able to write such an in-depth book because of his young age, so he asked the publisher to conceal his age and refused all publicity. It was not until a year later that Lin Jiawen published his second book "Joy and Joy for the World". In order to express his apology to the school and the publishing house, he began to do a lot of publicity, which made him famous on the Internet and became a celebrity. But becoming famous too early is not a good thing for Lin Jiawen. Instead, it becomes his "life reminder."
became famous too early, and instead became a "death reminder"! After
became famous, there was a huge "generation gap" between Lin Jiawen and his classmates. In the past, his classmates could "look up" to him and play with him without any burden, but now they have to "look up" to him and call him " "Teacher Lin", which made Lin Jiawen, who was already suffering from depression, even more lonely. Lin Jiawen once joked about his depression: Why does the instruction manual say that the side effect of taking medicine is weight gain, but when I take it, my whole body feels painful and sleepy? To make matters worse, after becoming famous, Lin Jiawen was often invited to participate in various activities, which made him unable to feel the fun of history. Instead, he felt that it was a kind of "work", and he gradually became tired of this "work". Moreover, after becoming famous, doubts were overwhelming on the Internet, such as "How could a 17-year-old have such deep insights? Did he find someone to write it as a ghostwriter?" and so on.
The loneliness and pressure with nowhere to relieve finally overwhelmed Lin Jiawen. In the early morning of February 24, 2016, a hundred days before the college entrance examination, the young genius committed suicide by jumping off the building at home. Why did Lin Jiawen commit suicide? In his suicide note, Lin Jiawen wrote: First, the future is too unattractive to me. Second, as far as secular life is concerned, I can imagine everything I can work hard for, and I have long recognized the boundaries that I can never transcend. . Yes, people in the world cannot help themselves, especially after becoming famous. Lin Jiawen has to always pay attention to his every move, word and deed. Even if he says a wrong word or does a wrong thing, it will affect himself, the school, and others. The press, and even his family dog, had a negative impact.
Life Wisdom
Life is precious, but love is more valuable. If it is for freedom, you can throw away both! What is "freedom"? Say what I want to say and do what I want to do, but only young and ignorant children can gain "freedom"! Adults, who doesn’t walk around the world wearing layers of masks?
