Anti-fashion is a material fashion to return to earth to make life

This is a well-known micro-blog piece: three Apple changed the course of human civilization: Eve, Newton and Steve Jobs! Today, Apple phones, tablet PCs and other high-end electronics, fashion almost a status symbol. Some people can abandon unwanted functionality, use only send text messages, phone calls, "desires mobile phone"; was a "microblogging control" at any time transfer of information, it was also chosen to stay in the leisure network, even proposed "unplugged electricity "life ...

In this era of fashion, can be found everywhere, "anti-fashion" figure. Material and technical human being coerced to rush forward, also was to choose a walk, return to pastoral, natural, and more poetic life, so relax the mind to be more warm care. The shares of "anti-fashion" trend, with the wave of fashion exist side by side, complement each other, play the symphony of modern society's multiple.

To return to earth to make life matter

Walking in the streets of Nanjing, Zeng Fankui is an ordinary person: a cotton dress, wearing a digital watch, pedal shoes, not his pocket a well-known mobile phone, with the trend of the insulation.

In the eyes, Zeng Fankui is a retrograde fashion with the specimens: in early 2010, he sold the BMW 325 is not high efficiency, low-key the car into a practical Passat. Days is good, simply walk to work; 1993, who spent 20,000 yuan to buy the Department of "bricks and mortar" Big Brother, after three years spent 16,000 yuan to buy even the first machine with the number "139" mobile phone, not from numbers change, cell phone for the next twenty that do not, no one less than 5,000 yuan. But now he uses, but it is to spend 1,000 yuan two years ago the supermarket to buy fruit in the Soviet Union made in China; watches, Longines, Omega has been in 2004, spent 80,000 yuan to buy a Rolex, now wearing a $ 2000 Citizen electronic form; 2000 years ago, he was wearing shorts and vest it is normal for a few thousand dollars, and now the body does not add up to a few clothes hundred dollars, or buy fabric to tailor custom-made, or online shopping ... ... these seem to relate to his professional identity of the company's executives very contrast.

"Not absolutely necessary, only the best for their own." During the interview, which is often catch-phrase Zengfan Kui. After all the luxury business was plain sailing, he began to reflect on, and gradually change their spending and lifestyle - the electronic watch portable time, comfortable and breathable cotton clothes, walking to work low-carbon environment, why not?

"I insist on the principle of pragmatism, and to treat the money." Zeng Fankui live in the district, often see Porsche, Maserati parked in the garage, are a rare move last month. He lamented that these frequently two to three hundred million luxury car, the utilization so low, so take their money, it would save money in the enterprise reproduction, or save up for a rainy day.

Zeng Fankui told reporters that he and the fashion of the "upstream" is not regarded as maverick. In his circle of friends, show off their wealth to be recognized as a superficial act, many people take the initiative to choose the plain. He knew a listed company chairman, will own not long ago and all the company's Mercedes-Benz S600 cars replaced all the Toyota Camry. "Strength does not depend on luxury cars, something extrinsic to prove, such as cooperation with others to talk about equity, invested 50 million people, you can immediately come up with 50 million, the company's strong capital base is your real strength."

Farewell "for the technology are tired."

Not long ago, a Thai hot mobile advertising on the Internet. Interestingly, this mobile phone advertising is propaganda, but the story through the different roles of the characters remind the audience, too addicted to the phone ignores the close of love, friendship, affection, between people will become cold.

The rapid development of a new generation of smart phones, making mobile phone into a powerful communications and entertainment devices. Microblogging, QQ, MSN, angry birds ... ... and a variety of new ways of social gaming platform for "thumb tribe" who let them go, elevator, bus subway, buried in the mobile phone of people everywhere. In this regard, the users' view of Walker offerings, "Comment said," bored like him to focus your life around and your heart, whether we are the masters of mobile phone or cell phone slave? "And friends" far child's plate "is on the young man obsessed with mobile phones, online games for reflection: "Because these derivatives of the electronic age while ignoring the side of the family, friends, is a very sad thing."

In the microblogging space occupied more and more people amateur, who became an indispensable fashion spice of life, also some people choose to give up. Not long ago, CCTV host Xiaomeng microblogging more than 1.18 million fans, it begins to reflect on Internet addiction disorder caused by micro-Bo. In her own micro-blog messages: "Watching her friends take the time to microblogging, micro-Bo trouble, saying one just to play, as a cause of action has been to facilitate a yoke, so fast life, the hearts can not bear. Really would like to say something away from the micro-Bo, cherish their own. "

Development of functional products over the rebellious, is a simple and natural approach to life. What is "Technology for our own use" or "I was tired by technology?" This more rational thinking, the army anti-fashion as a guide to action.

Zeng Fankui told reporters, "Any technology can not replace face to face communication, is no substitute for people to communicate thoughts and feelings." The high-tech company CEOs, only used phone calls, send text messages, and never use the Internet and other functions . "More time to spend time with his family, return to family life, people feel more beautiful."

"They can not afford not to buy smart phones, but consciously choose a simple life in such anti-fashion issue of individual signals to the community - this is my own choice of life, but also a community leader and inspiration." Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics Associate Professor of Social Sciences Zhang Jie believes that hidden behind the anti-fashion is a more close to nature, more in line with the development of life. Not so much anti-fashion is a potential fashion, as it is a negation of negation after the fashion.

In this era of slow walking

July 31, the reporter went to the Fragrant Hills Lake One Pukou villas. Master Li Xiulin wearing a T-shirt, black shorts, black shoes stepping on, covered the wood flavor. More than ten square meters of terrace placed a teapot, an old-fashioned radio, a few axes and a pile of wood, the floor is strewn with sawdust. "My family all year round so this is where the fun." Talking about his carpentry skills, the Nanjing an electronics technology company executives proudly said, the stairs at home is my work. Ever since his son was born four years after, in addition to electric, the home of almost all of his toys out of a little polish, environmentally friendly and save. "In the eyes of my son than the father as a carpenter father is more powerful CEOs."

In the course of the leisurely hand, Li Xiulin feel very relaxed, some of the work that he tangled problems, often in this state thought to be a breakthrough. Li Xiulin quipped: "I am such a slow design DIY behavior, can be considered a fashion, right?"

Not the pursuit of efficiency, the pursuit of enjoyment in the process; spare time away from the hustle and bustle, fast-paced life in gear and set the converter to find long-ignored spiritual home; "slow life" concept is being more and more people to accept.

In modern society, two kinds of people to maintain posture: one to look forward: the pursuit of material life, enjoy modern technology, future-oriented; the other is looking back: advocating the return of the spirit, mind and nature to seek dialogue, emphasizing reflection and self-awareness, understanding and constantly re-define the self. It is both an indispensable attitude, who in his grasp of the origin of innovation and forging ahead at the same time, constitute the ideological foundation for the wave of anti-fashion.

"If fashion is more of a luxury to the consumer or even the direction, then anti-fashion crowd is out of this framework, not blind obedience, is no longer the pursuit of high consumption, so that more harmonious development of nature, rather than to satisfy the endless desires, which is a mental maturity. "Nanjing University, doctorate in sociology from the consumer point of view Xing universe of the interpretation.

Southern Normal School of Journalism and Communication teacher Zhang Tao that social diversity is the embodiment of harmony and inclusiveness, but also for the presence of anti-fashion to provide the social soil. Anti-fashion is not necessarily against the tide, but it must be the height of modern thinking. "Anti-fashion, more of an impact on their own behavior as a reflection, a reflection of things after precipitation, is the pursuit of high-level behavior, such as emphasis on simple living, back to nature, are a reflection of the excessive consumption of resources, is a manifestation of environmental advocates. "

"The world has been running forward, and then we hot pursuit. Can stop and take a breath, choose 'their own', rather than selecting 'everyone'? Perhaps this can no longer in pursuit of speed, and the loss of our lives , as well as the nature of growth. "This is the sentiment of Taiwan yung comic genius, is an" anti-fashion "people's declaration - no matter how the trend, with the way your personality, in this era of slowly moving forward. Our reporter Liu Yan Tian Yuan Mei
