I met a mother, a mother watching in the sun. My mother stood in the scorching sun in July, looking at the examination room 100 meters away, looking dignified. Sweat has appeared on mother's face. Sweat has soaked her clothes like water, and her gray hair is cluttered on her forehead. Mother stood in front of the statue, staring at the examination room with her mouth half open.
The joking parents in the shade stopped joking. They looked at their mother in the sun in surprise. It was suggested that her mother move to the shade. A smile thinner than the ice in early winter squeezed out of her awe-inspiring face and whispered, "Standing here, you can clearly see the examination room and the children." No one laughed at her stupidity, no one laughed at her stupidity, and no one advised her again.
The mother who watched the battle in the hot sun licked her chapped lips, glanced at the tea stall not far away and stared at the examination room again.
I don't know how long it took, maybe half an hour, maybe an hour, and my mother collapsed on the ground like mud. After a loud scream, everyone gathered around. After seeing the long-awaited call, she was still in a coma and was carried to the infirmary at the school gate.
After listening to my heartbeat, taking my blood pressure, and hanging a drip, my mother closed her eyes. The experienced doctor smiled and told everyone, "See how I can wake her up."
The doctor attached it to his mother's ear and whispered, "The students are in the examination room."
Mother suddenly sat up from the bed, pulled out the needle and got out of bed: "I have to ask my son how he did in the exam."
The Old Gentleman in Oasis
I remember a story about Su Dongpo and Zen master Fo Yin meditating together in the Song Dynasty. Zen master Fo Yin asked Su Dongpo, "How is my posture?" Su Dongpo joked: "You are sitting like a pile of cow dung." Su Dongpo asked Zen master Fo Yin, "How did I sit?" Fo Yin said, "You sit like a Buddha." Su Dongpo was very happy and thought that he had won the Fo Yin Zen master, but Su Xiaomei told him: "The Zen master's heart is a Buddha, and everyone is a Buddha; Your heart is cow dung, and the Zen master's sitting posture is cow dung. "
There is another story. A young man came to the oasis and met an old gentleman. The young man asked, "How is it here?" The old man asked, "What's your hometown like?" The young man replied, "It's terrible! I hate it. " The old man said, "Then go, it's as bad as your hometown." Later, another young man came and asked the same question. The old man also asked him, "How is your hometown?" The young man replied, "My hometown is very good. I miss the people, flowers and things in my hometown very much ... "
The old man said, "It's just as good here." The observer was surprised and asked the old man why his answers were inconsistent. The old man said, "What are you looking for? You will find it!" "16 1, the value of fame.
After the American Civil War, Pacific Life Insurance Company planned to hire General Li, the former commander-in-chief of the Southern Allied Forces, as the company's chairman with an annual salary of 30,000 US dollars, but General Li refused because he had no experience in life insurance business. The person in charge of the company immediately said: "It doesn't matter if you don't have life insurance business experience. What we need is your name. "
"Well, you can see that my fame is very valuable," General Li said seriously. "Because of this, I have to tell you today that I want to use it in a place that matches its value."
Later, General Li accepted the position of president of a small-scale college with an annual salary of only $65,438+0,500.
30000 & lt 1500, this is a mathematical fallacy, but it is the value of fame for General Li. Therefore, it is not difficult for us to understand why General Li is highly respected in the United States, because truly great and intelligent people know what real value is and how to find the ownership of value.
There is no discord.
At the beginning of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Guan and Zhang met and knew each other, and each expressed his ambition, so he became sworn in Taoyuan. However, according to the notes of the Qing Dynasty, Liu Jian didn't know this, and he didn't become sworn. At that time, Zhang Fei opened a pub in Zhuo Jun County. He opens in the morning and closes at noon. In order to keep the unsalable meat fresh, Zhang Fei hung the meat in the well, pressed a big stone weighing five or six hundred Jin on it, and looked at it like a cat and mouse thief. One day, Guan Yu, a big fellow in Shaanxi, passed by Zhuo Jun County, and avoided disaster by killing people. It was already afternoon, and the waiter said to him, "There is meat hanging in the well. If you can lift a stone, you can get it. " In fact, this is a very irresponsible statement. I didn't expect Guan Yu to be so powerful that he moved the boulder away, "as light as a projectile", took a piece of meat and left. Zhang Fei heard that the man had returned and caught up with Guan Yu. He couldn't say anything, so he hit him with his fist Two people are "enemies, but they can't solve them." Just as they were deadlocked, Liu Bei, who sold straw sandals, passed by and went to Indiana. The three people got closer and closer, so there was Taoyuan sworn.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms is an immortal masterpiece, but I don't think it is as well written as Selected Works of Notes and Swords of the Qing Dynasty. As the saying goes, it is unthinkable that you can become brothers of life and death without fighting or making trouble with just a few empty words. In Water Margin, Liangshan brothers mostly type.
No discord, no concord, not for everyone. Some people may fight harder and harder, and die as soon as they fight. Get to know each other through fighting and become real friends. First, we must be proficient, second, we must be knowledgeable, third, we must have brains, and fourth, we must have environment. But no matter what the outcome, acquaintance or enmity, fighting is good for the development of things.
Today's literary world seems too calm, too warm, too sweet, too that. A person who was picked up with a little "hard injury" was considered to be "a rock-breaking", so someone came out to block the frame, settle it and muddle along. In fact, this kind of nitpicking, let's call it "knocking", is not necessarily a bad thing for Yu. If Yu were a man, he wouldn't fall down because of it. A writer who can't criticize will definitely not write good works again.
heritage
There is a short story about inheritance. The author's mother was seriously ill. Before she died, she comforted her children and husband: "Don't bring flowers to my grave. Because I won't be there, when I give up this body, I will go to Europe, and your father can't keep me. " When the children kissed her goodbye, she smiled and said, "I'll see you in the morning."
The next morning, she died. When the children were sorting out their mother's relics, they found a poem written by their mother entitled "Heritage"-
"After I die, give my things to the children. If you must cry, cry for the brother who walks beside you, and put your arm around anyone like me.
I want to leave you something, something better than words and sounds, and see my existence in people I know and love.
If you can't live without me, let me live in your eyes, heart and kindness.
Heart-to-hand connection, let the children be free; Love will not die, but people will die. "
Li Bai's view of political achievements
Volume 28 of The Complete Works of Wang Qi Annotating Li Taibai in Qing Dynasty contains 20 articles written by Li Bai on the three themes of recording, praising and praising, with the government wall in Rencheng County as the first article. Rencheng is today's Jining City, Shandong Province. After about 35 years old, Li Bai moved to Rencheng, Shandong. This article, written on the wall of the yamen hall in Rencheng County, briefly traces the historical evolution, introduces the local customs and customs, and describes the political achievements of Rencheng County Magistrate at that time, from which we can see that Li Bai's view of political achievements has many unique features.
One of the characteristics is disrespect for extravagance and waste. Li Bai's biography of the church wall in Rencheng County first said that this place is "ancient and vulgar, romantic and lofty, virtuous and virtuous, and the world is shaded", and then explained the history of "luxury from generation to generation" here. The so-called "the land is thick and thin." Han is a famous monarch and Wei is heaven and earth. As a result, generations become extravagant, and articles are passed down from generation to generation. A gentleman is proud of his talents, but a villain is simply intractable. Besides, the city is cool and the house is rich. Ge Xiang depends on the sun, and Ling Xiaodan wants to fly; The stone bridge wobbled, and the rainbow stopped walking. "Under the new county magistrate, this extravagant wind has been obviously curbed and the atmosphere has changed. In Li Bai's works, although there is no county magistrate who strongly opposes extravagance, in fact, future generations can understand and feel his serious attitude of not advocating extravagance. How to get up and walk as far as sitting is concerned. Real achievements are never said. And this foresight and foresight of not worshiping foreign things and obsessing foreign things has become one of the highlights of Li Bai's view of political achievements.
The second feature is that wealth and courtesy are equally important. Li Bai's "The Wall of Rencheng County" describes the achievements of the new county magistrate in governing the local area, focusing on two aspects. First of all, we should develop step by step in economic construction, neither letting ourselves drift nor rushing for success, so as to truly bring benefits to the people and let them live and work in peace and contentment. The so-called "one-year-old Su teaches, two-year-old Hui 'an, three-year-old rich and happy", that is. At the same time, Li Bai emphasized that the improvement of people's spiritual cultivation or comprehensive quality should be coordinated with the all-round development of society. As the saying goes, "Young people are successful, Huang Maorong." A man without wandering hands is like a woman without a mother. Quan Hao hoes the heart of violence, and the official belongs to harmony. Walker gave way to the road, let others take care of him, help the old and care for the young, respect his relatives, and return home after a thousand years. "In today's words, it is to study hard and pay attention to self-cultivation; Be diligent in your work, take your positions, respect the old and love the young, and never take the road. In fact, this is the ideal realm like the Peach Blossom Garden that Li Bai yearns for in his heart.
The third characteristic is to attach importance to public opinion. Li Bai's Record of the Church Wall in Rencheng County finally said: "In vain, I explored its eastern Mongolia, eavesdropped on public opinion, recorded it on the wall, and hung in the future." This shows that Li Bai's record is not his own partial belief, but from public opinion. As the saying goes, "the population on the road is like a monument", and it is also said that "justice is free from people's hearts." Political achievements are not self-styled, but also touted by employers. Only the achievements recognized by the people are the real achievements.

Max. Weber is very interesting. He was unknown before his death. He is a typical little person in Kafka's novels who is helpless to fate. 19 19 years, he wanted to teach at the university as a sociologist, but Munich University ignored his idea. He found the headmaster, and the headmaster felt that this person was puzzling. I don't know what's on his mind. What kind of social study is this? Unknown, and regard him as hot-headed.
Later, after a lot of efforts, I finally broke into the threshold of university teaching, but I got a temporary teaching post. Not even a teaching assistant. Teaching is also a minor subject. His idea of being hired as a sociology professor by Munich University will never come true. In fact, he managed to get a professorship in his later years, but his death is numbered. It's pathetic. Because the school didn't like him very much, it reluctantly accepted his Munich University, and it was specially stipulated that "don't teach you anything about sociology in the classroom." In order to make a living, Weber had to accept this rule with a sigh.
1905 published a book "Protestant Ethics and the Spirit of Capitalism" to explore the origin of capitalism. This book has not attracted people's attention. Only 3000 copies were printed and sold 1000 copies in five years.
One year before his death, he gave two speeches at the invitation of the student union of Munich University, and published two booklets on this basis: Academics as a profession and Politics as a profession. Did not cause any optimism. In a word, he is a man covered by the times. A man without a reputation.
1920 On June 7, when Weber's body was buried in the cemetery in the eastern suburbs of Munich, only a few relatives, friends, students and colleagues attended his brief funeral. I came and went alone. But no one cares about his coming and going. What a miserable life.
After his body stayed underground for 40 years, people found that this little man was a great man and one of the three founders of sociology. His wife is busy at the moment, sorting out his manuscript quickly. In fact, he wrote all his life, mostly manuscripts, because he didn't publish much before his death. In the 1960s, the Munich municipal government announced that a square and street would be named "Max? Weber Square "commemorates the great founder of sociology and" the great Marxist ". By the 1980s, studies on him had piled up all over the world.
There are always some people who live at the wrong time, and there are too many in history, such as Cao Xueqin and Cervantes. I wonder, in this era of impetuous words and culture "calling for spring", are great people buried around us? I think it must be. Whether the future is discovered or not. But burial is certain.
