Why do I think summer is the cure?

A few days ago, Xinshixiang introduced a new concept "summer depression". The hot and humid summer can easily reduce people's attention and energy, making people's thinking become lazy; it is easy to produce a sense of fatigue "as if once the summer is over, it has taken away something that will never come back"; it is easy to induce the stress of enduring a long period of time. People who are under great work pressure have negative emotions; they are also susceptible to "psychological heat stroke" due to the influence of boredom and uneasiness, becoming irritable and irritable, and the occurrence of conflicts in family, society, and interpersonal relationships will also increase accordingly.

So the research results show that there are far more people who hate summer than people who like summer. Summer is even the peak of suicide throughout the year. But I think it's not so much Xia Tian's fault as it is the city's fault. As soon as you look up in the city, you can see the tall buildings. The glass windows reflect the hot light, and the asphalt roads are steaming with heat, making the original scorching heat even more unbearable. The rhythm of the city will not slow down just because the sun is shining brightly. You still need to Wear a tie, fasten every button, and appear in front of customers meticulously. In fact, it’s not just your body that is sweating, but your heart is also anxious and hoping for an end as soon as possible; wearing cute makeup and going shopping with your boyfriend, passing by the office* After the baptism of traffic, I was already sweating profusely. All my efforts in the half hour before going out were in vain, and my mood became impetuous and depressed.

Rather than attributing the crux of "summer depression" to summer, it is better to attribute the culprit to "the city." In fact, there is another model of summer, and that is - summer in the countryside. You can wear cool short-sleeved shorts, lie down in the shade of a tree, face to face with green eyes, fan slightly, and take a nap. It is a time suitable for unexpected surprises to happen, and a place suitable for calming the mind. "Letter to Peach", "Forest of Fireflies", "Summer Wars" and other healing films all take place in summer. In the summer countryside, they either experience the end of their youth, encounter love, or experience a bizarre journey. story.

Summer vacation lasts throughout the summer. When I went to Chongming during the summer vacation of my first year of junior high school, I could clearly feel the difference from summer in the city. The temperature was equally scorching, there were only faint clouds in the blue sky, and even the air felt warm. The environment in the countryside is very open. No matter how hot the weather is, it is a paradise for children. Four friends from the same village and I wore slippers and ran to the bank barefoot to look for screws in the river. While the other party was focused on searching, we splashed. That moment of confusion of not responding in time can make people happy for a long time. The scorching sun shining directly on my back should have been unbearably hot, but the cool water of the stream under my feet actually made me feel extremely comfortable. Sometimes we climb our own peach tree to pick peaches. We need to keep shaking the branches while reaching with the bamboo pole. After a while, we are sweating profusely. After we get down from the tree, we sit under the shade of the tree. We can't help but eat them without washing. The eyes are filled with lush greenery, and I feel the happiest thing is this.

Later, my good friend recommended the movie "My Neighbor Totoro" to me. When a friend recommended it, he said with emotion: The countryside in "My Neighbor Totoro" is full of green mountains and plains, with a simple wooden house. A breeze blows, the wind chimes in the house ring crisply, and the rolling green waves bring infinite coolness. Chase on the winding road. Have fun, have an encounter with the elves in the field, and go into the jungle for an adventure to hunt for treasure. It rained heavily in the afternoon, and the green was dazzling. Although the rain continued, it felt very peaceful. This paradise is just like this. I feel that any troubles will be forgotten and cured in such a paradise. Naturally, I understand and agree with it very much, because I was once in heaven, and that summer in my first year of junior high school has long been a holy place in my heart.

Summer in the city may only represent hot weather, but summer in the countryside also represents a variety of activities. Japan’s summer fireworks displays give people infinitely gorgeous and romantic fantasies. My good friend immigrated to Japan after graduating from high school and told me many local stories. They like to go to the countryside together during summer vacation. Although there is no beautiful and surprising scene in the movie with a sky full of stars in midsummer and surrounded by fireflies, they organized and participated in the courage test meeting, which was indeed very interesting. In the dark night, everyone first tells a ghost story, and then goes into the forest to explore separately. The two groups can scare each other by showing off their magical powers. If you reach the end and get the pre-placed objects, you will be considered a victory. The laughter and joy of having fun is the best music of summer. Summer does not need to be as active and diligent as spring, nor does it have the sentimentality of autumn, nor the loneliness of winter. It has its own enthusiasm and youthful passion.

Also in Japan, summer is the season when monsters are active and hundreds of ghosts roam the night. In the countryside and fields, in the fresh atmosphere after the rain, you may pick up a lively and cute kappa like Kang Yi in "Summer of the Kappa"; you may pick up a lively and cute kappa like Tao Zi in "Letter to Peach" You will also form a deep friendship with the kind-hearted monster hidden in the attic; you may meet a silver who is willing to trade his life for a hug just like Hotaru in "Forest of Fireflies". Sitting in front of the door at night enjoying the cool air, without the constraints of space, my thoughts naturally enter the world of imagination, so cool and open, so leisurely and tranquil, suitable for all whimsical and unrestrained imagination, because time seems to have stopped and all worries have been forgotten.

A while ago, I watched the movie "The Fairy Tale of Time". When summer comes, 27-year-old Taeko escapes the hustle and bustle of the city and takes leave to go to the countryside to enjoy the rural life she has longed for and enjoy it.

No more busy work, no more boredom of being urged to get married. Watch the sunset from a high place, sit on the lawn with your friends, the breeze blows on your face, and beautiful and happy memories will naturally appear in your mind. Give summer another way, it will be a good opportunity to escape from the hustle and bustle of the world, and the troubles in your heart will be healed by the summer in the countryside.

To all those who hate summer, should we give summer another chance?
