I recently finished reading the first volume of Su Dongpo’s biography. Before reading this first volume, my understanding of Su Dongpo was mainly about his brilliant title and his artistic attainments. But after reading "The Biography of Su Dongpo" and the three videos in class, I truly understood a complete Su Dongpo, a real Su Dongpo, a natural Su Dongpo, and a pure Su Dongpo. As Mr. Lin commented: "He is an optimist whose nature is hard to change, a compassionate moralist, a good friend of the people, a prose writer, a new-school painter, a great calligrapher, an experimenter in wine-making, and a The engineer is an opponent of false Taoism, a practitioner of yoga, a Buddhist, a scholar-official, the emperor's secretary, a drunkard, a compassionate judge, a political stickler, and a moon. The rambler below is a poet, a person who is humorous and loves to joke. Lin Yutang said, "I wrote "The Biography of Su Dongpo" for no particular reason, just for fun." He also said, " I think I know Su Dongpo completely because I know him; I know him because I like him." Lin Yutang's love for Dongpo is expressed in his writing without any concealment. I think he wrote Su Dongpo with great affection. Sometimes, he might even seem to have forgotten whether he was Lin Yutang or Su Dongpo, or he wrote Lin Yutang and Su Dongpo together. There is me in you and you in me. . Or Su Dongpo is his interpretation of human nature, his understanding of the warmth and warmth of human relationships in the world, and his analysis of self-worth. Therefore, using Lin Yutang’s previous life description in his article, we can say that Lin Yutang’s previous life was Su Dongpo, which is not a bad idea.
This kind of writing is writing that goes deep into the bone marrow. It is writing that writes oneself into it. How can it not touch people's hearts?
In the book, Lin Yutang compared Su Dongpo to Thackeray, Hugo, and Johnson, because their lives were as tortuous as Su Dongpo, but their works were full of vitality. Although Su Dongpo suffered many hardships and setbacks, his human nature became gentler and kinder, and did not turn into acrimony. Today we love Su Dongpo because he suffered so much in life. And I love Su Dongpo, not only because of that, but also because I see his closeness to the people and his optimism. Su Dongpo once said to his younger brother Ziyou: "I can accompany the Jade Emperor, and I can accompany the beggars of Beitian Court. There is not a bad person in the world before my eyes." Therefore, Su Dongpo lived happily and fearlessly, like a breeze. Life is not without reason. Su Dongpo's life experience is the natural expression of his nature.
Reading Lin Yutang's writings are humorous and sharp at times, but the powerful words in his writing are full of passion and passion. It is writing that deeply touches people's hearts. Reading Su Dongpo, it is difficult to say that he was imprisoned or exiled. No matter what, no matter when and where he was, no matter how difficult it was, he was optimistic and happy. Because his heart is not bound by the environment, his heart is free and generous. In such a life, there are never complaints about the environment, never sharp accusations, and never sadness and anger at not being able to recognize talents. However, he is really a gifted person. This state of mind is worth learning from.
