Modern Ink Painters Emerge from the Outside World

Linjiang City is a city where there are always people staying up late and working overtime, and there are always people paying for face. 28-Year-old An Qinglan is the most ordinary migrant worker in this city: his salary has been increased three times, but he is getting busier and poorer; he does the most work, the leader always gets the credit, and he is always blamed; he does not know how to refuse, and he is overwhelmed by invalid favors. Just when his life was on the verge of collapse, he dug out the three complete volumes of "Mozi" filled with annotations among the old things left by his grandfather. From "spending" to break the consumption trap, to "loving all but not attacking" to establish interpersonal boundaries; from "respecting the virtuous" to polishing the foundation of one's life, to "non-fate" to break the anxiety of fate. Following the wisdom of the Mohist from two thousand years ago, An Qinglan removed the shackles that trapped him step by step, paid off his debts, kept his bottom line, and won respect. He finally understood that Mohist thought was never an obscure ancient book, but a survival strategy for contemporary workers. A true Mohist is not a lofty saint, but an ordinary person who sticks to his heart, works pragmatically, and treats others sincerely in a chaotic world.
