The file of the early riser 7. Cai Zhizhong.

Cai Zhizhong's early risers' file-sharing materials are all from one of his biographies, My Life Depends on My Fate. Personally, I think it can be a model for early risers. Let's take a look at his early life:

Cai Zhizhong: cartoonist, philosopher, scientist, writer, collector and bridge expert. . .

There are so many labels on Cai Zhizhong that it is difficult to define him by one or two simple identities.

As one of the top cartoonists in the world, Cai Zhizhong is not only proficient in comics, animated Taoism and Zen, but also in mathematics and physics, and claims that Einstein's theory of relativity can be proved wrong by the method of 10 1. And the span of this field is amazing.

No wonder Cai Zhizhong's good friend Peggy Chiao, a playwright in Taiwan Province, China, joked, "We should really cut open his head and see what's inside. How can it be as good as the logic of physical mathematics on the one hand and Zen and comics on the other, and it is also poetic and humorous.

Cai Zhizhong said that he had lived the life of others for ten lifetimes:

1948, born in Huatan Township, Changhua County, China, was baptized as a Catholic at birth.

/kloc-started listening to bible stories at the age of 0.

At the age of three and a half, I began to think about my life goals. When I was four and a half years old, I found my goal in life and decided to paint all my life.

At the age of 9, he decided to become a cartoonist. 15 years old, dropped out of junior high school and went to Taipei alone to become a professional cartoonist.

At the age of 23, she joined the TV station as a TV artist.

24-year-old, self-taught animation design and production, and entered the animation field.

At the age of 29, he founded Far East Cartoon and Dragon Cartoon Animation Company, shooting animated commercials, making animated films such as Du Zichun, Colorful Cartoon Old Master Q, Wulongyuan, etc. Among them, Colorful Cartoon Old Master Q set the highest box office record in Taiwan Province Province, China Province, and won the 198 1 year Golden Horse Award for Best Animation.

At the age of 36, he was selected as one of the top ten outstanding young people in Taiwan Province Province, China.

In the same year, he ended his own animation company and went to Tokyo alone for four years, creating more than 40 series of comics, including Zhuangzi, Laozi and Zen. After its publication, the series quickly became a best seller in Taiwan Province Province, China, and was published in 49 countries and regions around the world, with a total sales volume of over 40 million copies worldwide.

6 1 year-old, who lives in Hangzhou, was named Mr. Fashion as a cultural figure in 2009.

He doesn't have a mobile phone or a watch. For decades, from midnight to noon, he devoted himself to thinking, reading and writing. Besides, he has been wearing clothes for more than ten years. For him, eating and dressing is just an obligation of being born.

He once set a record of sitting in a chair for 58 hours and not going out for 42 consecutive days. That absolute concentration and depth "is like taking a picture, adjusting the depth of field very shallow and focusing only on the stamens of a flower."

On the title page of Cai Zhizhong's Song of Time, it says

I dedicate this book to my mother: Cai.

Since my son mentioned it, she got up at 3 am behind my back, cooked pig food and fed chickens and ducks, thus forming the habit of getting up at 3 am every day, which allowed me to think gracefully for a long time every day.

Therefore, until today, Cai Zhizhong has maintained the practice of getting up before 3 am every day.

After getting up at 1 o'clock every morning, the first thing Cai Zhizhong does is spend 15 minutes thinking alone in the face of the starry sky and asking himself four questions:

1. What did I come to this world for in my life?

2. What will be accomplished this year?

3. What have you been doing recently?

What should I do today?

When he thought these questions clearly, he immediately concentrated all his energy on the work at hand and started a day's work without distraction. In this way, he asked himself for more than ten years. The more you ask, the clearer your goal will be. The more you ask, the more focused your energy will be.

Cai Zhizhong/Kloc-became a professional cartoonist at the age of 0/5, and worked in animation for more than 50 years. He has been painting every day these years. From morning 1, I worked continuously until two o'clock in the afternoon, and I didn't eat breakfast for more than 40 years. I only eat one or two meals a day in recent years.

Apart from tooth decay and a cold, he said that he had never been ill and had never been to the hospital.

Because he has been engaged in the work he likes all his life, he has reached the realm of "not tired, not hungry, not sleepy, not sick and not dead".

Someone said to him, "You really work hard and are serious."

He always replied: "I have never worked in my life, just enjoying my dreams."

Someone said, "It's hard to understand that a day's work 16 hours is not tiring."

He said, "Only when you are engaged in something that requires perseverance. When you choose your love as your career and fall in love without my concentration, there is no so-called fatigue. "

If you ask him now, "How do you feel about your life?"

He would reply, "Every day is a good day, and there is heaven everywhere."

Eat only one or two meals a day, just steamed bread, vegetables and a bowl of porridge. The habit of skipping breakfast has been maintained for 44 years. He said: "if you eat too much, your smart brain will become a pig's head." He believes that the stomach is inversely proportional to the brain, and the IQ is the highest when the stomach is empty; After a full meal, the IQ is the lowest. I don't even like to interrupt my creation for dinner. After eating, I often can't return to the creative state before eating.

Only by minimizing the demand for material things can we gain more freedom.
