China News Service Client, Beijing, May 17 (Wang Hao) Some time ago, Cui Jian's online concert was almost swiped in the circle of friends.
This concert with the theme of "Continue to Spread a Little Wild" has become the nostalgic sustenance of many middle-aged people.
In 1991, Cui Jian's album "Freedom" included the song "Let Me Sprinkle Some Wild on This Snow".
Cui Jian's unique voice sang "Let me spread some wildness on this snow" and "I just don't feel because of my illness".
Those young teenagers who listened to Cui Jian, Dou Wei, and Zhang Chu with tears in their eyes have now entered middle age.
Most of the desire to "sprinkle a little wild" was also buried in the dust of life and deeply hidden in the bottom of my heart.

For many people, after experiencing the heavy blows of middle-aged life, they will miss their youth more and more.
But even with Cui Jian's singing to rediscover the feeling of youth, the "midlife crisis" is still an unavoidable reality.
There was an episode of the once-popular variety show "Extreme Challenge", which simulated the future family life of the guests.
In the relaxed and funny atmosphere, one by one realistic problems emerged.
The relationship between husband and wife, parent-child education, and countless trivial matters are annoying. The once casual and unrestrained relationship with friends has become embarrassing because of each other's family.
Some guests handled it with ease, while others were too idealistic, putting themselves in a dilemma.
Eventually, several families sat together and found a solution.
Life is far from being as simple as a variety show, and it may not always have a happy ending.
For many people, after entering middle age, it is necessary to abandon many ideals.
If you can't balance it, you can only make a choice.

Even people who don't watch football will know the famous names of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. They have almost become the representative figures of football and even sports.
But as the Premier League draws to a close this season, Manchester United are sure to miss out on the Champions League next season.
From the smugness at the beginning of the season to the deserted ending at the end of the season, Manchester United's performance in the first season after Cristiano Ronaldo's return has undoubtedly disappointed the Red Devils fans.
Although Cristiano Ronaldo himself ranks at the forefront of the Premier League scorer list, he still cannot save the team; and in France, which is across the sea from the United Kingdom, Messi is also about to complete his first season after coming to Paris.
Although Paris won the Ligue 1 championship with almost no suspense, the team with a luxurious lineup suffered a reversal and exit in the Champions League, and the fans became more and more dissatisfied.
Compared with the past, Messi's personal goals this season is not high, it seems that this can not be regarded as a very successful season.
As expensive as "Gemini", each has its own troubles.
But while they've all had a difficult season, they've all struggled to adjust -- adjust their mentality, adjust their bodies, adjust their roles in the team.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, who are middle-aged people, also encounter "hurdles" in their careers. Their coping method is not to blindly indulge in past achievements, but to actively respond and find new ways out.
Perhaps ordinary middle-aged people can learn something from them when they face a crisis.

In the movie "The Flower of the Heart", two middle-aged men, Geng Hao and Hao Yi, drove a car and brought a dog on the road to seek "thrill".
Geng Hao, whose marriage failed, urgently needs a new relationship to get out of the predicament.
As a former musician, he devoted himself to a life full of firewood, rice, oil and salt because of love, but when he reached middle age, his wife left him because of a life without passion.
In a way, it's a story of "The Moon and Sixpence" reflecting the relationship.
Different from "on the street full of sixpence, he looked up and saw the moon", Geng Hao bowed his head to each sixpence for love after seeing the moon.
In the end, he lost love because "there's only sixpence left in life".

Geng Hao is like the epitome of many middle-aged people. He constantly compromises with life for various reasons, but in the end he finds that his compromise has not exchanged for what he wants.
At the end of "Heart Flower Road Fang", Geng Hao finally understands what he has gained and what he has lost.
After adjusting his mentality, he met a new love.
For middle-aged people, the past can no longer be traced, and how to choose the future path is the most critical.
Recognize yourself and get out of the "past", it's easier said than done.
After many years, Cui Jian, who still wants to "continue to be wild", is not limited to a nostalgic symbol. Middle-aged people want to hear what he is singing.
He has a classic lyric that goes like this—
"Reality is like a stone, and spirit is like an egg. Although the stone is hard, the egg is life." (End)
