Recently, writer Yu Hua was a guest in the Live Broadcast Room with Hui, and conducted a two-hour interview with the theme of "From Literature to Humanity". According to live broadcast data, during the interview period, the sales of the "Alive" commemorative edition reached 1 million to 2.5 million yuan. During the interview, Yu Hua repeatedly offered advice to young people in a funny and humorous way. When talking about the workplace, Yu Hua said that he should learn to properly "mentally leave his job" so that he can have space to do things in the direction of his own interests.

When talking about short videos, Yu Hua said that like Mo Yan, he watches short videos every day and can learn something from short videos. He bluntly said that short videos and cool American style are essential every day.

In fact, Yu Hua’s views in this live broadcast are highly consistent with the life and work philosophy he has always conveyed.

On the 31st "World Book Day" that just passed, Yu Hua and Mo Yan shared their own experiences and insights in a dialogue in response to the question raised by netizens: "How should young people cope with the 'Odyssey' when they first enter society?"

Yu Hua admitted that his "Odyssey" was the five years he spent as a dentist. At the same time, he warmly reminded that confusion and anxiety are not a "patent" for young people, but are normal conditions that will accompany people throughout their lives.

He also shared that after he opened a short video account at the end of last year, some student netizens were anxious about getting marks in the final exam and asked for help. He gave practical advice to "get a good sleep first, and then worry again when you wake up." He said that anxiety cannot be pushed away, but you can try to shorten the time it takes up in your life, learn more about life and experience more, so that you can fight against confusion and setbacks, remember happiness and forget unhappiness, prolong happiness and shorten worries.

Going back to earlier, Yu Hua once bluntly said in an interview, "Don't seek the meaning of life at work." This transparent view also aroused widespread resonance among netizens at the time and was praised for "poking the workplace dilemma of contemporary young people."
