Life is a process of simultaneously gaining and losing. As you grow and your
living conditions improve, you often don’t realize what you’re losing while
acquiring new things. Some of these lost treasures, although outdated by modern
standards, are invaluable to you and, once lost, can never be reclaimed.

1. THE LOSS OF TRADITION

When some people hear words like “tradition” or “customs,” they dismiss them as
outdated or superstitious. However, tradition is not synonymous with
backwardness. Even in an evolving world, rich traditional cultures endure.

How many of us still honor family hierarchy and respect the elderly in our
homes? Or uphold our word as unbreakable in the workplace? How many maintain
lifelong commitments in marriage or embody virtues like benevolence,
righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faithfulness in daily life?

“Embrace the essence and discard the dross.” The wisdom of our ancestors needs
to be passed down and practiced, never forgotten.


2. THE FADING BUZZ OF COMMUNITY

Before smartphones and the Internet, life was bustling with human connections.
People would casually visit neighbors, sharing conversations and homemade
dishes. Friends and relatives would gather, laughing and chatting late into the
night.

Today, with advanced communication, physical interactions have dwindled. People
living in isolated apartments often don’t even know their neighbors. Social
gatherings are now dominated by individual screen time, devoid of the lively
atmosphere of the past.

Remember, a hundred online messages can’t replace the warmth of face-to-face
interaction and shared meals. Real-life connections and lively atmospheres are
essential for a fulfilling life.


3. THE SIMPLICITY WE’VE LEFT BEHIND

In the past, a roof over one’s head, food to eat, and a bed to sleep in were
enough. People had simple desires — just enough food and the closeness of
family.

As living standards have risen, so has materialism. The pursuit of bigger
houses, luxury cars, and other material goods has burdened many, diminishing
happiness. True happiness isn’t expensive. Life doesn’t need to be complicated.


4. HEALTH: THE OVERLOOKED TREASURE

In earlier times, people worked from sunrise to sunset, leading physically
active lives. Nowadays, with the proliferation of digital technology, many
people have irregular sleep schedules, poor physical health, and declining
eyesight. The convenience of transportation has led to a sedentary lifestyle.
Over-reliance on heating and air conditioning has weakened immune systems,
making people more susceptible to common ailments.

Ultimately, it’s our habits that define our health. We must not lose sight of
the importance of healthy living.


5. MEMORIES: MORE THAN DIGITAL FOOTPRINTS

There was a time when photographs were rare, carefully preserved in albums,
sparking stories and memories among family members. Today, despite the ease of
taking photos with smartphones, these images are often forgotten in a digital
corner and eventually deleted when storage runs out. We’re capturing more
moments than ever, but preserving fewer memories. It’s essential to cherish and
save these moments.

6. THE LOST ESSENCE OF DAILY LIFE

Modern conveniences have made self-reliance less common. Food delivery, online
shopping, and other services have replaced the joy of cooking and the experience
of shopping in person. However, the essence of life — the “human touch” — is
irreplaceable. There’s something deeply fulfilling about cooking for your family
or experiencing the seasons through daily activities.


KEEPING THE FLAME OF TRADITION ALIVE

In our rush to progress, we mustn’t forget our roots. We can embrace advanced
cultures, but we should not forget our traditional values. We can enjoy the
convenience of modern technology, but we should not lose the warmth of human
interaction. We can indulge in modern comforts, but we must maintain healthy
habits. We can capture life’s moments on our phones, but we should also preserve
them carefully.

These six aspects are the treasures of modern life. Let’s value them and keep
our traditions alive, for only by holding onto our core values can we truly
thrive.
