The Pursuit of Happiness
I think happiness can be simple and natural, and the pursuit of happiness is always moving to me. I try to convey a simple but moving scene through this work, which reflects my thoughts on happiness in real life.
I think happiness is the accumulation of simple moments in life. It can be so simple that we may find it everywhere. It can be a gesture of care, a loving gaze, a warm embrace, or a heartfelt prayer. Happiness can be found in the tranquility of a beautiful piece of writing, the enjoyment of a cup of fragrant tea, or the leisure of holding hands while watching the sea or listening to the sound of rain. Happiness is the loving call of family and the knowing smile of a loved one.
Happiness can be as delicate as grass, as beautiful as flowers, as ethereal as clouds, as strong as trees, and as enduring as stones. We have always been pursuing happiness, constantly chasing after it, but we may forget to pause and appreciate the daily life better. The journey of life may be filled with intense or subtle, deep or shallow, joyful or sorrowful moments. But they are all part of life and part of the pursuit of happiness.
