Creating a holy land of Shangri -La in my heart

How far is distance place you looking forward to? In the lost horizon, James Hilton depicts a pure land paradise full of peace, tranquility and mystery, named Shangri-La. This is a beautiful kingdom. Here, three rivers join together. The mountains rise into the clouds. The top of the mountain is covered with snow. The grass grows deep under the feet and covers the earth. In all areas of Shangri-La, the virtues of "moderation" are observed when dealing with the relations among religious sects, nationalities, people and nature. The author thinks that there are three states of human behavior: over, under and moderate. Over and under are the root of crime, only moderate is perfect. It is such a concept that makes Shangri-La peaceful and peaceful.

I have heard the name of Shangri-La in a long time, and like most people, I am full of yearning for that secret place. But it can be seen from the background of the book that this is the period of economic crisis shortly after the end of World War I, and the storm of World War II is coming. At that time, the society was in a state of depression, panic and turbulence. People are dissatisfied with the current social situation. In the face of the current social situation. Westerners hope to

find a relatively good place where civilization can be preserved and people's lives can be saved. Maybe it's just a spiritual home. So Hilton created Shangri La, the paradise of the West. The mountain far away from the world has become a charming and rich paradise.

So, after all, Shangri-La is an imaginary utopia that hopes to avoid the real disaster. However, Shangri-La is different from the pure peach blossom garden in that it will have limited contact with the world and will not give up the achievements of scientific and technological civilization; it advocates the middle way and will not be extreme, but it will not be too calm and thirsty. Shangri la has its own responsibility to prepare for the coming disaster of the world. It is actually a modern Noah's Ark.

So, in fact, there should be such a Shangri-La like pure land in our hearts. When we face the real suffering, we can calm down, pay attention to life, care about ourselves, and find the beauty around us. And the so-called beautiful distance is nothing more than your own vision of the world.
