Mao Jianhua: I had a narrow escape.

Accidents will happen. Some time ago, MU5735, a Boeing B737-800 flight of China Eastern Airlines, crashed in Wuzhou, Guangxi while performing the mission from Kunming to Guangzhou. All the people on board were killed, which made people deeply sad and reminded me of my narrow escape eight years ago.

Trip to Thailand

Only after I set foot in Thailand did I know that Thailand means "the land of freedom". In the history of more than 700 years, Thailand is the only country in Southeast Asia that has not been colonized, and it is also an ancient civilization with a history of more than 2,000 years of Buddhism. In this beautiful and rich land, there are countless ancient temples and magnificent palaces full of myths. There are splendid temples and pagodas everywhere, and there are exquisite and beautiful Buddha statues, stone carvings and paintings everywhere. These historic sites, which are shaded by perennial green coconut groves, add infinite gorgeous colors to Thailand's attractive tropical scenery. Among them, the most distinctive shemale performance has become a major industry in Thailand, attracting a large number of tourists from Asia, Europe and the United States. This beautiful country, known as the "White Elephant Kingdom", has a unique cultural tradition and national customs, which makes people "never tire of it".

During the 7-day trip, my wife and I experienced the customs of Thailand, enjoyed the special performances, tasted the delicacies of mountains and seas, and experienced the confusion of "courageous people"-the trip to Thailand left us with a good impression and I will never forget it.

Escape from the sea

During the tour, the tour guide took us to visit the Pattaya tourist area, which is located in the southeast of Bangkok, Thailand 154 km, and is known as the "Oriental Hawaii". It is famous for its sunshine, beaches and seafood, and it is a world-famous emerging seaside tourist resort. There is a famous entertainment here-trapeze. The so-called trapeze is a speedboat pulling a parachute and flying with people at sea. According to the requirements of the field staff, after making all preparations, my wife jumped in front of me and I followed her. Everything was fine when we first took off. When we were lifted to the height of 100 meters, overlooking the sea, the blue water set off waves after waves in the progress of many speedboats. Just as I was intoxicated with the beautiful scenery in the air, the accident happened. When the speedboat was turning, the pilot of the speedboat who took me did not master the speed and angle of the speedboat, so that the parachute lost its wind and contracted immediately. Unfortunately, I was thrown into the sea, and my mind was blank at that moment.

When I fell into the sea, the speedboat driver didn't know it, but he walked ahead quickly, so he ran with me in the sea with an umbrella bag. The rope of the umbrella bag and the rope of the speedboat pulling the umbrella bag entangled me, and the only dog-planing swimming was even more difficult to perform at this time. In addition, many speedboats are moving fast at sea, and the waves are hitting my face one after another. Drinking water is inevitable, and I have not drunk less. At that time, my instinctive desire for survival made me calm down immediately after a short panic, and I kept shouting while holding my hand, but the shouting seemed silent in the vast sea. Later, the speedboat driver may feel less nervous behind him. After turning his head, he found that I had fallen into the sea. He quickly stopped the speedboat, pulled the traction rope to the cockpit behind him and helped me get close to the speedboat. When I swam to the side of the speedboat and reached for the driver's hand, the driver immediately retracted his hand, but I quickly grabbed the side of the speedboat and was paralyzed all over.

I can't understand what the driver said because of the language barrier. By gesturing, the driver understood that the driver would let me pass the front of the speedboat and the boat would roll over, but my hand just couldn't let go. I still clung to the edge of the speedboat, fearing that if I let go, I would sink into the sea and couldn't surface. After a stalemate for a while, I regained my strength. I realized that it was useless to hold it like this, so I let go and swam to the front of the speedboat to climb. I haven't climbed the speedboat many times. Finally, the driver took my hand and dragged me into the speedboat at the risk of capsizing.

When I went ashore, I heard from my wife that she was told that your husband had fallen into the sea, and she still didn't believe it. She said to others, "We are still waving at each other in the air. How did my husband fall into the sea? " Later, she waited for a long time. Before I went ashore, she ran over to see that it was really me, which made her tremble. Then I asked the merchant how to deal with this. The merchant said, "it is impossible to refund the money, but as compensation, I will let you fly again for free." But after a narrow escape, how dare I fly? Thinking about going out to vote for peace, I felt unlucky, so I took a bottle of mineral water given by the merchant back to the hotel.

Perception of life

Life is like this. You never know which will come first, the accident or tomorrow. Only in do or die do you know how good it is to be alive. Don't wait for a long time, learn to cherish the present. After that incident, I seldom choose to fly on business trips. Don't take part in risky amusement projects when you go out to play. Although amusement projects such as airplanes have high safety factors, there are also accidents encountered by others, which is an accident. If I meet it, it will be fatal. After coming back from Thailand, my mentality has also changed a lot. Think about people living in the world, even if fame and fortune are at stake, what's the point of wanting those if they die?

When I encounter difficulties and am unhappy at work, I will not argue and be depressed as before, but will calm down, think quietly, think and comfort myself. I always think, "I will keep walking until the water blocks my way, and then I must sit and watch the rising clouds." When I encounter annoying things in my life, I will not fly into a rage as before, but will talk to my friends and release my emotions. Some people say: life is a door, some people open it for pessimism, others open it for optimism. If we can't change the status quo, we might as well look at the problem from another angle.

The ancients said, "If there are flowers, just pick them and fold them straight. Don't wait for them to be empty. " In this life, what we do most is to wait, wait for money, wait for the future, wait for the next time, wait and wait, leave regrets and miss the truth. People will meet many people in this life, and there will be many people we want to treat well, but suddenly they are gone, gone and gone far ... If we don't cherish what we have in front of us, then this life is bound to be full of regrets. Therefore, it is the best respect for life to cherish the people in front of you and do the things in front of you well.

The most important thing in life is never how much you have, but whether your heart is satisfied. Sometimes there must be something in life, and there is no need to force it in life. Life is to see the present clearly, see through the past and cherish the present. The most fundamental happiness in life is to have a destination, a support, and cherish the happiness of the moment. As Luo Xiang said, "The meaning of life we are looking for is actually very simple. Start your daily life with a grateful heart, and you can bring happiness to people around you every day, to own, to build and to cherish the ordinary happiness around us. "

People often say: "One day's husband and wife are grateful for a hundred days". Marriage means that your small family will be established and your wife will be your partner for life. What's more, we have been married for nearly 30 years, from a small family to everyone. Living together, quarreling is inevitable. Perhaps most married men, like me, ignore each other every time they quarrel with their wives, but after returning from Thailand, my attitude towards my wife's nagging has changed. I think, what's the harm in tolerating her nagging? Aren't you lucky to come back alive and listen to her nagging? Someone once said, "Home is a small boat, which carries us through a long time. Tired birds miss their nests, and fallen leaves return to their roots. When we return to our hometown, it is like returning to the place where we landed before, and it will be eternal from here. " In the voyage of life, we need adventure and rest, and home is a warm harbor for our rest. However, no matter how far we go and how tired we are, our hearts will be full of warmth and love at the moment we get home.

In our life journey, whether at work or at home, we should have less disputes and more understanding when encountering things; Less neglect, more company; Less complaining, more warmth. As Yang Shen said in Linjiang Xian in Ming Dynasty: "The Yangtze River rolls eastward and disappears, and the waves wash away all heroes. Success or failure has turned empty, the green hills are still there, and the sunset is a few degrees red. The white-haired hermit by the river has long been used to the changes of time. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet, and how many things have been paid in ancient and modern times. " (Mao Jianhua)
