朋友来日本旅游,发现了一个“大问题”:日本女人通常都比实际年龄要显得年轻许多。“是化妆技巧的缘故吗?”大家问。我回答说化妆技巧是一个原因,但更主要的恐怕还是对生活的态度。在日本十多年,观察那些“越老越美丽”的女人,发现她们其实并不拒绝衰老,也不拒绝脸上的皱纹。但她们拒绝身体的赘肉,拒绝失去对世界的新鲜感和好奇心,拒绝不自由。 Friends travel to Japan and found a “big problem ”: Japanese women usually appear to be much younger than the actual age. “Is the reason of make-up technique? ” Everybody asks. I replied that make-up techniques are a reason, but the more important one is probably attitude to life. In Japan for more than a decade, observing those “older and more beautiful” women, they found that they did not actually refuse aging and do not reject the wrinkles on their faces. However, they refuse the body fat, refuse to lose their freshness and curiosity about the world, and refuse not to be free.
