If I lived with the hero in my heart for a day
Wang Xuming
There are many heroes in my heart, and Mr. Zhu Ziqing is one of them. Although he is not a hero on the battlefield, nor can he shoot a gun, and he is definitely not as strong as others, just a scholar; but he is a hero, a real hero in my mind.
In the early morning, when I walked into my husband’s study, there were books everywhere, and there was almost no place to put my feet down. My husband was already in his old age. His eyes were compassionate and humble, and he listened to me quietly.
I will first ask Mr. Zhu to answer a big question for me: "You have written so many plain, simple, fresh and beautiful works, but after your friends Li Gongpu and Wen Yiduo were killed one after another, you did not hide or hide , bravely attended Li Wen's memorial meeting and reported Wen Yiduo's life story at the meeting. Where did you get such strength and courage? Where did you get the strength? Sir, when you were seriously ill, you not only Participate in the fight against hunger and civil war, and tell your family not to buy relief food from the United States?" The husband said softly: "Nothing, nothing, these are the duties of a Chinese!" The husband's voice was like that! Calm, without a hint of impassionedness.
My husband and I spent the whole morning reading and practicing calligraphy. I accompanied him sometimes without saying anything, and we each read our own books.
After taking a nap, I met my husband again in his study and asked him another question. I said, I remember that when I first became a teacher, the first class I took was to teach your prose "Spring". I was so excited at the time, moved by the beautiful words and surging passion in the article, but I just didn't know how to teach it to the students. Later, after reading your collection of essays and many other works, I gradually came to understand your language style and spiritual realm. Especially after learning about your deeds, I also came to understand your hope for spring. At that time, I thought, why do you, an elegant scholar, have such surging emotions? Mr. Zhu said: "My article is to pursue a true word, write what I see, hear, think and feel with sincere feelings, and achieve realistic artistic effects. Teach students to read and write prose, and tell the truth without any other reason. Words depict true feelings and real scenes." At this time, think again about Mr. "Back". The complex and intertwined emotions of guilt, remorse and nostalgia contained in it can only be summarized in one true word.
Mr.’s words moved me deeply. Because in this world, it is not easy to write a photo essay; it is even more difficult to be a real person.
Listening to the teacher’s teachings, it was already evening before I knew it. My husband and I were wandering on the campus of Tsinghua University. My husband said to me: "Xu Ming, articles are written piece by piece, and words are tempered one by one. It doesn't matter. The most important thing is to maintain the integrity of a scholar." Dignity, you must have backbone." Then he told me the origin of his name, which was derived from a sentence in "Chu Ci Bu Ju": "It is better to be honest and upright to keep yourself clean." It means being honest and upright to keep oneself clean. . Mr. Zhu said: Choosing "Ziqing" as his name means to encourage himself not to lose heart in difficult situations, not to join in the sleaze, and to remain innocent.
One day passed by in a hurry, and Mr. Zhu drifted away, but in my heart, it became an eternal moment. Some people say that there are no heroes in peacetime, but I disagree. In peacetime, we still admire heroes on the battlefield, and we also need heroes with national integrity and backbone, in the spring wind and rain, in ordinary life.
