The most important thing is to keep moving forward.
So given a Time Turner, I would tell my 21-year-old self that personal happiness lies in knowing that life is not a check-list of acquisition or achievement. Your qualifications, your CV, are not your life, though you will meet many people of my age and older who confuse the two. Life is difficult, and complicated, and beyond anyone’s total control, and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes.
在野外,每一个决定都可能意味着生与死的区别。
The creative act is not pure. History evidences it. Ideology demands it. Society exacts it. The artist loses his freedom the moment he creates a work of art.
The concrete artist strives to express the spiritual in the most precise and objective form possible.
写作是留下痕迹,是在世界上留下印记。
即使在艰难时刻,我也总是努力保持积极。
