Wu Bai’s voice is not the most magnetic, and Mandarin is not very standard in his singing, but this has formed his unique style.Like his appearance, he holds a guitar, has a personalized hairstyle, frowns, doesn’t smile, and is cold. He is not handsome, but there is only one such five hundred.He is 51 years old this year, and has found a wife who is five years older than himself. The two have been married for many years without children, and they are walking hand in hand with their wife, who is nearly 60 years old. Although in the showbiz world where there are so many beautiful women, there are few rumors about them.
The song “Norwegian Forest” was released in 1996 on his solo album “The End of Love.”. At that time, he was very fond of Haruki Murakami’s novel “The Norwegian Forest” and gave the same title to the song he wrote and composed.
Let me take off your heart and try to melt it slowly to see if I am still perfect in your heart
Hidden in my heart is a place I have never visited before – Northern Europe. It consists of five countries: Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Iceland. At the end of this cold world, there are unique landscapes of small mermaids and auroras.
Gao Xiaosong once wrote an article, “In Northern Europe, I Think I’m Ugly,” about the lives of the people of Northern Europe, as pure as the environment there, as concise as the decoration style there.
Where the lake always clarifies, where the air is full of tranquility, where the snowy white moon shines on the earth, hiding memories you don’t want to mention
The government provides a strong social security system, and people living there can receive higher benefits than working without going to work. This is a treatment that our Chinese people dare not even think of.
Do you think we’re happy to go to work all day and fight against each other, and we’re happy to work late on weekdays! If our country can have such treatment, who would like to go out early and come back late and take the bus to work.
Due to being exposed to severe cold all year round, most people in Northern Europe experience a sense of alienation and indifference, lacking the heat of interpersonal communication.
For example, if someone sits in the window seat, they would rather stand in the aisle than sit down. If you sit down, the person next to the window may immediately get up and leave.
For another example, when you are sitting next to a colleague, he would rather send you an email about work communication than have face-to-face communication with you.
In fact, not only are Nordic people like this, we are exposed to the sun for less than half a year every summer, and there is also a trend of growing indifference between people.
When there are enough seats on a bus, you will find that only one person is sitting in each double row seat; When colleagues are in the company and are too lazy to look around, they would rather just send a WeChat message.
“We don’t enjoy the social welfare system that is as good as that of northern Europe, but we unconsciously become accustomed to the increasing indifference between people.”.
The Nordic people have not always been so indifferent, and they also have moments of openness. In their eyes, the Midsummer Festival is just as important as the Chinese Spring Festival and Christmas in some countries.
People gather to celebrate this grand festival, moving fika (morning or afternoon tea) outdoors and enjoying the sunshine.
“They like to take a group sauna, where men and women naturally gather together to pose naked, which in our opinion is extremely difficult to adapt to.”.
“You can always say true love from the beginning. True love can always last forever. Why do your eyes still feel lonely when you are alone?”
“No matter how good Northern Europe is, there are things that we can’t bear. There’s not as much sunlight there as we do, and when it’s extremely cold, we can only stay indoors to avoid the cold.”.
We aspire to such a country and can live better in our own country. A country of freedom and comfort, a paradise of return to nature, just like the words “Norwegian forest”, is just a song, a novel, and a romantic symbol.
