Reader, No.9 (May 2112), No.518

It's interesting for the ancients to write letters. This is a letter written by an ancient mother, and the mother wrote it to her son. It's not a letter. I made a few crosses and thought it was a short handwritten letter. It is short and slightly worded, giving full play to the implication and classicality of Chinese characters in China, which is interesting.

reading children's letters means that you have three kinds of poverty in your body: you are rich in the world, but you are poor in meeting; Treating people with forgiveness is poor; Reflexive is quite strict, but poor in line. Yesterday Sima Zi had a long cloud: However, Yu Qing was not worried, nor could he write a book to see himself in the clouds of later generations. Being poor is not bad for others, so my son should encourage himself!

The mother who wrote the letter was Zheng Shuyun, a female writer in the Ming Dynasty. I haven't read her works, but this short note alone gives me three points of admiration.

In the letter, Mama Zheng said this:

People often encounter three kinds of difficulties in this life, which have existed throughout the ages. You should be mentally prepared, son.

the first kind of hardship, with outstanding talents, is not able to meet good platforms and opportunities.

the second kind of hardship is to treat others with a sincere and generous heart, but not to make good friends worth making.

the third kind of hardship is that you are strict with yourself and often reflect on yourself, but you can't live according to your own wishes.

Finally, the mother comforted her son, even though life was such a good thing. Children, you should read more books to encourage yourself, don't indulge yourself!

such a mother is really powerful. Her love is neither narrow nor gloomy. It is a kind and generous love will keep us alive after a woman who has experienced hardships and hardships has seen all kinds of life. She loves children and life, and can give them a strong life with her love. (Rui Xue is taken from Run, No.1, 2112)

Second, the festival is an order

Bi Shumin, No.547, No.14, July, 2113

Buy food in early summer. The old man said to me, buy mine. Look at his food stall. It looks like silver and pink ping-pong balls are piled up. I said, it's so small and green, not as good as the tomatoes I ate in winter.

The old man said crossly, what tomatoes are in winter? Eating them is not eating vegetables, but taking medicine. The old man went on to say that it was simmered in the greenhouse, first roasted with fire, then smoked with medicine, so that they became unruly and fat, and used green-protecting agent or red-protecting agent to make them look better than the paintings. There are traitors among people and spies among tomatoes. Tomatoes in winter are such fakes.

I am ashamed. For many years, I was deceived by the scam in vegetables. What kind of food should we eat? I humbly ask for advice. The old man's business is very light, and he is happy to teach me, saying, Remember, always eat vegetables in a proper season. Eat radish when radish comes down, and eat cabbage when cabbage comes down. Festival, festival, solar terms are orders! People can't be greedy. You used all kinds of tricks. In winter, you ate vegetables that only grow in summer. What should you do when summer comes? Eat winter food again? It's a mistake. You've worked hard, haven't you?

I bought the old man's tomatoes and walked home slowly. Although his tomatoes are grown in the open air, the quality still needs to be scrutinized, but his words are frosty with an evening breeze, which has been with me for a long time.

Life also has solar terms!

in spring, do the spring thing and sow the seeds; Do autumn things in autumn and harvest. Swimming in summer and snowing in winter.

teenagers need to be frank. Too mature, like the application of plant ripening agent, early setting, pre-listing, may be able to sell a good price, but the plant will not be tall, leaves will not be dense, fundamentally speaking, it should be classified as an early death. Old age is too frivolous, like a childish disease of reason, which makes people suspect that a certain part of their minds has been moth-eaten by years, and they can't even compose wonderful long scrolls and wrap up a long life.

Young and old are the processes of life. It is not necessary to show favor or disdain for a certain process, which is disrespectful to creation and a shallow and stupid snobbery. (Li Xiaochun is excerpted from Guangzhou Daily on May 1, 2113)

Third, there is nothing in the world

Ma De

The Reader, No.13, 2114 (last July), No.571

Everyone who doesn't talk about human affairs is nothing in the world. Whether a person lives freely or not depends on what he says or doesn't say. How many things in the world are caused by uncontrollable mouth. You talk about people behind their backs, and someone talks about you behind your back.

After reading "A Tale of a Small Window", it was said that there was a hermit named Mei Gong who lived in a mountain. A guest asked him what was the strangest scenery in the mountain, saying, "Before the rain shows, flowers bloom on a snowy night." He asked what was the strangest thing, and said, "If you catch a fish because of a crane, you will send an ape to collect it."

when you are fishing, cranes are on one side; If you are greedy, you can send apes to pick fresh fruits from books to eat with you. This is really a breathtaking sight. Cui Yongyuan said that his favorite program for many years is Animal World, because "there is no one in the animal world."

it seems that the beauty of a world where no one is messing around is more than pure. Why do hermits encounter so many beautiful things in this world? It doesn't matter where he is, not because he is in the mountains, not because he is in the forest. What's important is that he has lived to be nothing on earth.

Fourth, other people's shoes

[ Singapore] Eugene

On the opening day of Reader's No.8 (April, 2115), No.589, among a group of freshmen who reported for duty, I noticed that a female student's eyelids were unusually swollen and swollen. I stepped forward and asked questions with concern. I never expected her to look impatient and answer gruffly: "Allergy!" " Say that finish, turn around and go. I am more puzzled than angry at her rude reaction.

Soon after, she confided in the diary she submitted: "Because I am allergic to some food that has not been found so far, my eyelids on both sides are swollen like two colored balloons. It's been more than two years, and the doctor is helpless. I'm so sad. It happened that many good people asked questions when they saw me and regarded me as a freak. Sometimes, I am so embarrassed that I want to pull each other's hair! "

I shook my head and sighed when I saw such words. This girl is too ignorant. How can she regard other people's concern as "nosy"? I think she is sensitive not only to her eyelids, but also to her heart. This happened several months later, when I was cooking, I accidentally burned my arm, leaving a big scar, oval, brownish red, ferocious and disgusting. Old friends and new friends, all talk and inquire.

At first, I always explained, explained and explained patiently, but gradually I failed. I said the same thing again and again, several times a day, which really made my mouth cramp. Later, when someone was concerned about asking questions, I smiled and said, "I donated blood yesterday!" " The other party was shocked and asked: "How can you draw blood in this part of your arm?" I smiled again and replied, "This is called extraordinary!" Seeing each other's puzzled expression has become my pleasure. When I think of that female student, I feel empathy for the grievances she has suffered in the past two years.

you have to wear someone else's shoes to know if they hurt your feet! (Li Zhongyi is excerpted from the book "You Jin Pocket Sketch" by Huacheng Publishing House)

5. Clear autumn and thin water

Zhou Wei Reader, No.2, 2116 (January), No.617

The water in autumn, when it is said that it is thin, it is thin, and the grass in the river emerges, dark green and dark green. I seem to see the scene in the well water of my childhood, so clear and so bright.

thin water makes people feel thin. There are two black spots in the distance, which slowly appear in front of my eyes: one is Sven's father and the other is an innocent child. Father made a net, a net, as if trying to catch a world. The more he bent down, the more the net he threw out could not reach the position he wanted to reach, and the net could not catch what he wanted to net. Several times, the net was entangled in silk grass.

The child carries the bucket and follows his father. He saw the fish swimming around in the thin water, spinning in the water, and then jumping out of the water, and their white bellies shone in the sun.

Just when his father was disappointed and wanted to leave, the child tugged at his father's skirt and made a small mouth: there was a golden carp swimming around by the silk grass beside the river bank, enjoying itself.

So my father opened the net and opened it several times, but it was always unsuccessful. The child put down the bucket and made a gesture of holding the fish in both hands. Father understood, stepped forward and held the golden carp. The child took the fish from his father's hand and held it firmly with both hands. The fish did not move, only the scales flashed in the sun with golden light.

Looking at the fish in the thin water and the father and son by the thin water, I understand that there are many things in the world, and the net can't be caught. It may be better to hold it up. (Venus is taken from People's Daily on October 26th, 2115)

VI. Patience and Richness

[ Japanese] Translated by Ogawa Mimei Li Pei

Reader, No.4, 2116 (February), No.619

This is a light and elegant tea bowl with a white background like transparent white jade.

"Yes, it's an exquisite work with a nice voice." The master's official flicked his fingers on the bowl. The Potter bowed his head respectfully and said, "It can't be lighter or thinner." The official nodded and ordered the potter to wrap the tea bowl and give it to the master as soon as possible.

After hearing the news, people talked about it one after another, saying that a famous pottery shop owner in the town had specially made a tea bowl for his master. The official presented the tea bowl to the master: "This is a special tea bowl made by a famous potter in China. It is as light and thin as possible. I wonder if the master likes it."

The master took the tea bowl and admired it. He saw that it was really light and thin, so thin that people couldn't help holding something in their hands. The master asked, "How can you tell the difference between good and bad tea bowls?"

"All pottery is light and thin, and heavy and thick pottery is not a good tea bowl." Master nodded his head. From this day on, this tea bowl was placed on the master's desk.

The master is a strong-willed and patient person, who never complains and does not show his emotions easily. The new tea bowl is very thin and spreads quickly. Holding it in your hand is almost like holding a charcoal fire. Every time I use it, my master has to endure hot pain.

how many people in this world are not enjoying wealth, but enduring it! (Lin Dongdong is excerpted from Ogawa Mimei Classic Fairy Tales by Xinlei Publishing House)

VII. Limited Movements

Readers, No.12, 2116 (under June), No.617

A German lady accompanied her friend to watch the exhibition, and the friend was deeply moved by the exhibition. The lady said, "In this case, we're. Without thinking, the friend waved his hand and said, "That's good. I want to extend this touch." I sincerely appreciate that clever friend, who is limited in touching and not greedy.

I remember a passage in a book: whether you are sick or unhappy, it all comes from one word-thick. If you are more interested in feelings, you will be infatuated; if you are more interested in profit, you will be greedy; if you are more interested in fame, you will be angry. Idiom, greed and anger are the most photographed. Unhappy things will stagnate in your heart, and if you don't stagnate, you will get sick. If you get sick, it will be painful. The best way to deal with "thick" is "light". This "light" does not mean that you don't care about anything, but that you are not greedy. People's greed is unconscious and all-sided, and they can only constantly remind themselves.

A long time ago, I saw a movie "Photo Studio in August", in which the old lady and her family went to the photo studio to take photos. It was raining heavily at night. She went back to the photo studio and said to the photographer, "Can I take another photo? I didn't wear the right clothes in the morning. I want to take a better photo and leave it to the younger generation in the future. " She sat smiling in front of the camera.

I think of Mr. Mu Xin's words: "It's been a long time since I ran to meet a person with small steps." This kind of happiness is expected because it is rare, and it is precisely because of this that it is even more precious. (gourmet coffee is taken from the 4th issue of Time Youth Reading in 2116)

VIII. I often think about it

Lin Qingxuan

The Reader, No.621th issue in August, 2116

My friend asked me to write some words and wanted to hang them on the wall of my new living room. I spread paper and polished ink in front of my friends and wrote four words: I often think about one or two.

The friend said, "What does this mean?" I said, "As the saying goes,' Nine times out of ten things are unsatisfactory in life', but apart from those 89% unsatisfactory things, at least 121% are satisfactory, happy and gratifying. If we want to live a happy life, we should always think about the 121% good things, so that we will feel lucky and know how to cherish them, and we will not be knocked down by the 891% disappointment. " Hearing this, my friend was very happy and went home with "I often think about one or two".

a few months later, he came to me again to ask for words, saying, "I'm tired and angry at the office every day. When I get home, I'm very happy to see the picture' I often think about one thing or two', but the wall is too big and the words are too small. Write me more words!" I have always been responsive to my good friends, so I wrote the second part "Don't think about 89" and "Everything goes well".

Later, the news of my remarriage was published in newspapers, which attracted many bizarre legends and rumors. One day, a friend called and said, "I can't think of any words to comfort you, so I'll read your words to you." Always think about one or two, don't think about eight or nine, and everything goes well. "

this phone call from my friend touched me very much. I often feel that it is easy to add icing on the cake in other people's celebrations, but it is difficult to give charcoal in the snow in other people's sufferings. That ratio is also the ratio of 89 to 12. Those who can't give timely help are not true friends, not to mention those who fall when they are down.

However, when a person is 41 years old, he will probably have developed the ability of being calm about honor and disgrace, so he won't care about this icing on the cake, offering timely help in the snow, or adding insult to injury. We have experienced the pain and frustration of life, the meeting and separation of emotions, and have explored a positive, happy and positive concept, which is exactly "thinking about one thing or two often".

The idea of "thinking about one thing or two often" is to look for a glimmer of dawn in the dark clouds, to receive some quiet news in the rolling world of mortals, and to take a long breath when you are on the verge of suffocation. (Tang Liguang is excerpted from the book Life with Joy by Changjiang Literature and Art Publishing House)

After reading these eight prefaces, I wonder how you feel? Have you returned to those days, to the quiet days when the book was lingering, to the youthful period when the mind was free from distractions ... There are countless memories and words that have surged up, and everyone must want to talk to others. Welcome to leave a message at the end of the article and tell everyone your story with the reader.
