Biography of Su Dongpo. Lin Yutang's

Su Dongpo is a hopeless optimist, a great humanist, a friend of the people, a great writer, a great calligrapher, an innovative painter, an experimenter in brewing, an engineer, a hater of Puritans, a Buddhist in yoga, a great Confucian politician, the secretary of the emperor, Brewmaster, a kind judge and a political naysayer. Astronaut, poet, clown. But this is not enough to tell the whole story of Su Dongpo ... Su Dongpo is more versatile than other poets in China, rich in sense of change and sense of humor, extremely intelligent, but at heart he is a naive child-this mixture is equal to the so-called snake wisdom of Jesus and the gentleness of pigeons. Knowing someone, or not knowing someone, has nothing to do with whether he is a contemporary or not. The main thing is to know if he has sympathy. In the final analysis, we can only know the people we really know, and we can only fully understand the people we really like. I think I know Su Dongpo completely, because I know him. I know him because I like him.
