"Watching the sea and listening to the waves" is actually a kind of life realm of "not being happy with things, not being sad for yourself", which can maintain a peaceful heart in various environments. When I feel the magnificent sight of the sea, my spirit can also be sublimated.

On June165438+1October 18, 2009, US President Barack Obama visited China and went to Beijing. At that time, shortly after Obama took office, his influence in the United States was still insufficient, and he faced various tests and pressures.
The U.S. ambassador to China appreciates General Wei Yuan's calligraphy very much, and hopes that General Wei Yuan will write calligraphy works for President Obama, which will be approved by relevant departments.
General Wei Yuan wrote an inscription for him "Watching the Sea and Listening to the Waves". When these four words came out, they once caused great controversy, and many people misunderstood them as "listening to President Hu Jintao's speech in Zhongnanhai" and so on.
The real intention of the general's writing is to express his true meaning when he visited Yong on 20119. General Wei Yuan introduced that the real purpose of Watching the Sea and Listening to the Waves was written at that time.
I hope that President Obama will have a calm heart when facing the unsettled situation at that time. At the same time, in the face of the environment, we should have a peaceful mind and a simple heart. Not what some people understand.
