Living in the media age, do you have the courage to give up everything you have and start over?

There is a British TV series that is very easy to watch, and it is "The Durrells". It is hard to imagine that a TV series without suspense, horror, fighting, and twists and turns can attract you to watch it continuously, and you can't put it away even if you want to. "The Durrells" has been in its fourth season since 2016, and it tells the story of a life in Utopia.

Mrs. Dreyer and his four children decided to leave the rainy, wet and cold island of Great Britain. The family immigrated to Hong Kong to the ancient Greek island of Corfu, where the sun was beautiful, the sea was cool and the sea breeze was gentle. A series of short stories. The so-called stories are mostly interesting things in daily life, some things you have to do in order to live a better life, some things you should always insist on doing for your own interests, and some things for a better life. There are things about pursuing perfection to protect your own feelings, and there are things about having to compromise your standards for the sake of true love...

Out of curiosity, I searched for information about this British TV series. , this drama is adapted from Gerald Dreyer's Greek trilogy "Out of the Isle of the Sun", "The Treasure of Myrtle Forest" and "The Garden of the Gods". Judging from the title of the trilogy, you can guess that "The Durrells" tells the story of Gerald Durrell's own family. In other words, it may be a real person. But when I looked into it more carefully, I discovered that Gerald Dreher was actually the son Jerry in the movie. Looking into the status of the creator of Gerald Dreyer, it is even more shocking - a doctoral candidate from three famous universities, Yale, Durham and Kent, a wildlife conservationist, and a distinguished He is a famous "nurturing and playing boy" and was awarded the Coat of Arms of the British Empire by the Queen of England. He is a litterateur with a legendary life.

A must-read Greek trilogy in life

Hearing this name makes me want to read the article

Life is about having the courage to search

Imagine that there is a beautiful house on the beach on the beautiful Cofer Island, and the family is doing their favorite things on the beach. One has to admire Mrs. Dreyer's courage to give up and pursue. Looking back on the many interesting things in the play, I actually had the same idea as Mrs. Dreyer several times, which was to leave behind the current life and return to my hometown to create a beautiful home of my own.

I once imagined returning to my hometown, renovating the old house, and even doing everything by hand, such as designing by myself, painting the walls by myself, customizing furniture by myself, and building by myself. The garden, etc., are polished bit by bit by my own hands and time to create a country villa made by myself. Then a large farm was developed around the house, a plantation was planted, and a flower bed was created. This is my ultimate life ideal, and it sounds even more outstanding than Mrs. Dreyer.

But imagination is just imagination. It is indeed not easy to break away from real life. After all, it is no longer the case of "one person is full and the whole family is not hungry". Once a person reaches middle age, the life of a large family is unsatisfactory, and there are thousands of responsibilities and obligations that must be shouldered. So there was only admiration and gazing at Mrs. Dreyer.

But I had the same experience as Jerry when I was a child, that is, growing up in a rural area, but why did I have different development and achievements from Jerry? Remember carefully, or you may lack Jerry's spirit of study, patience and perseverance. And my country's national conditions and parent-child education are obviously not as wise as Mother Dreher. On the other hand, Mrs. Dreher, a single mother, has to take care of four shameless children, and she can't take care of them even if she wants to. So it just so happened that Jerry was given so much room for growth. Then when I reflected on myself, I realized that there were too many restrictions in my temperament, just like the situation when people reach middle age.

Therefore, Ubuntu is only Ubuntu, an ideal that cannot be achieved. And what we have to do is to hide in this dream, and think about the dream, because one day, what if it comes true.
