After covering up the paper, what impressed me most was what Chen Tongkui said. "In my opinion, the successful experience of rural revitalization must be an unparalleled adventure story of a group of strange people and talents." Why an adventure story? Because there are all kinds of tangible and invisible pressures and resistances, if you want to achieve something, you must break through all the obstacles. The attempts of real estate developers to stop him, the current situation of rural backwardness and embarrassment, the villagers' backward and closed-minded ideas, and the ubiquitous selfishness are all what Chen Tongkui has to face. In my opinion, "Starting from Hometown and Returning from the World" is a book with the theme of adventure and growth. When
created the Volcano Village lychee brand, the frustration and worries of the fruit farmers, the criticism of the villagers, climate warming, heavy rains, and violent typhoons were all factors that could not be controlled by humans. It was difficult to raise funds to build the "Huali House" B&B. Faced with these difficulties, Chen Tongkui felt helpless, struggled, and deeply reflected. No matter what kind of emotions, they are all tied by Chen Tongkui's sincere words. When talking about his younger brother's growth, he said: "To be honest, the hardware of our B&B is very average, but Akua and I are both sincere and like to make friends, and we have made a group of friends who understand and support us when we return home to start our own business." When a villager questioned whether the village could benefit from the Korean artist's work in the village, he said: "One of the reasons why our village is respected and strongly supported by the outside world is precisely because we are a place that understands human feelings."
Sincerity also lies in his humility Learn from others, move forward while exploring, and learn while moving forward. I went to Japan to interview Yukio Nishimura and listen to him talk about his experience in a foreign country, to Pujiang in Chengdu to listen to Xu Yun's story about the growth of Mingyue Village , to Shenzhen to visit Wang Haida's ice cream factory, to Yilan, Taiwan, China to communicate with Lai Qingsong, and to Osaka Kamishio to see Nao He took lessons about Ayabe's life, listened to Tetsuji Kawa's talk about the business experience of Momanosha in Tokyo, visited the lavender forest in Taichung, walked into Moegi Village to listen to the boat last time, and went to Shikoku Kochi Prefecture Malu Village to learn from him, he learned the way. Every point on it. Many dots are connected and combined to form a mind that is open to learning and willing to make progress. Opening your heart is listening and absorbing, what you see is patterns, what you learn is methods, what you get is enlightenment, what you gain is belief. After walking out, don’t forget to invite in. The most exciting thing about
is his courage to take risks and break through. Courage is a word for toughness. To put it mildly, it is romanticism. The senior reporter of "South Wind Window" is a career that many people envy, but he resigned and left the magical city of Shanghai to return to his remote hometown of Huoshan Village. Ostrovsky once said: "Courage is produced in struggle, and courage is developed in the tenacious resistance to difficulties every day. Our youth motto is to be brave, tenacious, and to eliminate all obstacles." Calmly. Isn't his resignation also a manifestation of bravery and tenacity? This kind of destination is in sharp contrast to the pursuit of leisure, stability, and step-by-step life choices. This comparison is not about high or low, but the presence or absence of courage is an obvious dividing line. If someone wants to ask, at which stage in life should we have the most courage? The answer is definitely youth time. There are many ways to spend youth, and Chen Tongkui chose the most difficult and challenging one. What he thinks and walks about is not only the way out for his own life, but also the way out for his hometown.
In this book, Chen Tongkui talks about his mixed feelings. Among the many emotional cues, the most striking is gratitude. He said: "It is difficult to start a business, but we will meet many noble people on the road to starting a business. We will not be discouraged." Zhang Guangdou, Zheng Songmao, Cao Qitai , Lu Qing, Luo Shuhai, Qiu Futian, Sheng Yang, and one that took many square words to write. Long list of names. After I finished writing, I was still worried about omissions. In the book, readers see not only Chen Tongkui, but also Chen Qi, Ding Muer, Tetsuji Kawabe, Xu Mingren, Xie Zhenshun, Naoki Shiomi, Wang Cunhuang and others. These people, who are not limited by national boundaries, regions, identities, and backgrounds, are taking a path back to their villages and rebuilding their hometowns. With him, him, and her, the road back home is not lonely, but becomes increasingly powerful."When we were young, we often swam and caught fish in the volcanic wetlands, and picked wild fruits to eat in the jungles beside the wetlands. It was an unparalleled happy childhood." Once upon a time, the young man who had been cared for by all the interesting and beautiful things in his childhood was passing through his own His efforts and a group of like-minded partners have brought new vitality to his hometown. Looking to the future, this kind of beauty will not disappear due to reconstruction, but will always be there. Not only in my heart, but also in its own corner between heaven and earth.
Hometown is the birthplace of life and a place of fertility. What is the world? All places outside my hometown are the world. Set out from your hometown to go out into the world, in order to return to your hometown one day. "Let the hometown transform from a traditional village into an eco-village that combines ecological protection, natural farming and leisure experience." This is a new definition of hometown. It is a kind of nostalgia, but it does not flow on the page, but It is a transformation of the hometown through real feelings and concrete actions. It is thrown into the embrace of its hometown, and there is no distance from it. My hometown is not my hometown, my hometown has always been my hometown. "Our youth are a force that is constantly growing and rising. Their mission is to create new lifestyles and living conditions based on the logic of history." This is Gorky's famous saying, which is placed in the eyes of Chen Tongkui and his many like-minded people. It couldn't be more suitable for the person. As a person of the same age who has already entered the city, I am waiting to see their future.
