Hard-headed people who dare to fight

Fighting in a mediocre life pattern

By Weygandt ErnsbergerPublished 3 years ago 4 min read

When we worked together for a year and a half, one day, Dapeng almost died in front of me.

The show's choreography props went wrong, the huge iron frame lifted by the weave fell from the sky, just to hit him.

Fortunately, the Lord opened his eyes, there is a small space in the middle of the iron frame, just to catch him.

Further back 10 cm, he will certainly die.

Everyone was dumbfounded, and the loud echoes didn't dissipate for a long time.

I threw the microphone and jumped off the stage to hit people, he froze on the stage, trembling voice shouted at me: don't...... nothing happened.

His face was white, a look that was about to cry out.

My eyes were instantly sore ...... alas, who said the artist is good to be?

After the fiasco, I invited him to drink to press the alarm, he showed me a picture of his newborn little daughter, a small little person sleeping on his phone screen, eyes closed, mouth open.

He said: ...... Since there is a child, we must let the child live a good life.

He took off his glasses, childish a four-sided face, looks nothing like a man who has become a father.

Every hard bone dares to fight and has a soft reason, that reason is this little girl.

From that incident to today there are several years have passed, and his little daughter should be almost in elementary school, I heard that fat, quite good.

Daughter oh, fragrant and soft daughter oh, so envious of people.

Good boy, grow up to be good to your father, he was almost smashed to death on the stage of the 1200-square-meter studio of Shandong TV to earn milk powder for you.

This matter he has not dared to tell your mother.

I witnessed a small period of darkness before the dawn of Dapeng, and then the day dawned.

When Dapeng and I finished working together, he had already taken several part-time jobs as a host on several TV stations, and that was his most desperate time.

I think I know the reason for his desperate efforts.

After a few years, he was able to earn a long-awaited decent living. The movie, skit, spring show, book ...... got the applause of the bittersweet.

The most important thing is that you have to be able to get a good idea of what you are doing.

According to the world's definition, he finally succeeded.

He has been strangely unlikely to have any negative news.

Sometimes when we meet people we know together, no matter how heavy the habits are, they don't say anything bad about him behind his back, and the common argument is that he is not a normal hard worker, but a person who can do and behave.

Everyone is a multi-faceted body, I do not have a deep encounter with Dapeng, and do not understand his other sides, but only in terms of those sides that can be involved, it is true that there is no excuse. He is a good person.

It's not because Dapeng is popular now that I want to write about him, nor is it because he and I are such close friends.

He and I are not so good friends to the point of two swords.

From colleagues to acquaintances, at the moment we are ordinary friends if there are friends in this circle.

The reason why I write about him is just that I feel that a so and so ordinary friend, I am lucky to have.

This is a bullshit world, a man, in mediocre life models to fight, by eating open meals for food and clothing, on can afford to parents and teachers, under can afford to friends and wives and children, and basically can do so with moderation, is rare.

I have not met many people like this, and Dapeng is one.

Can do with such people to do ordinary friends, is not a good thing.

In the past two years and Dapeng met only a few opportunities, the work has not crossed over, but strangely enough, the relationship is not distant.

He published a book, I went to buy a book, and then buy a book, every time I met a bookstore to buy a book. I published a book launch, and he took time off work to help, not even eat afterward, and hurried back to the venue to catch up with the announcement.

I didn't thank him, I don't know why, I always feel that this "thank you" need not be said out loud.

I have another ordinary friend living in Dali, the name is listening to summer.

The name Listen to the summer once said: ordinary friends are difficult to be. Today what you say and do is in line with his ideas, or to his advantage, he likes you and thinks you are good. Tomorrow you do not meet his ideas or do something that affects him, he does not like you, think you bad ...... most things in the world, people just love their illusions, and project them around, broken, and retracted.

Combined with listening to Xia's words looking around, sigh, the world is indeed so.

But it seems that there has never been such a problem with Roc.

Occasionally during the year when we can sit down for a drink, as before, not much to say.

Nothing much has changed, except that we have all aged a little.

I do not encourage his success, he does not admonish my dissipation, each other understands, that we are living seriously, and are living our own lives.

This is not enough, is not it?

Why so much talk? Drinking and drinking, eating all the food on the table is the right thing to do.

Ordinary friends, no commentary, no interference, no courtesy, no pretense, is the best respect.
