brief Introduction of the content
In the world of Pakistan, "three cups of tea" is the way for Balti people to make friends. The first cup of tea, you are a stranger; The second cup of tea, you are our guest; The third cup of tea, you are our family, we are willing to do anything for you, even if it is death.
When mortensen got lost when he was climbing Mount Gregory, the residents of Colfield village saved his life. The local residents had a hard life and sugar was so scarce and precious, but they cooked sweet tea for him to restore his strength. From then on, from the first cup of tea to the third cup of tea, from strangers to people who are willing to protect each other with their lives, "three cups of tea" represents their precious trust, lifelong commitment, and is also the beginning of a traveler changing the world.
Mortensen used to be a mountaineer. 1993 In memory of my younger sister who died young, I started my journey to climb K2, the second highest mountain in the world. However, an accident happened, and he lost contact with his teammates, leaving him alone without water or food. Fortunately, he was rescued in a remote village in the mountainous area of Pakistan, and his body recovered under the careful care of the villagers.
It is picturesque and looks like a paradise on earth like Shangri-La, but it is not an imaginary Eden. Touched by the kindness of the villagers, mortensen found that one third of the children in the village could not live to their first birthday, and the nearest hospital had to walk for a week. Children's greatest wish is a school with all roofs. In the cold wind, local children can only kneel on the frosty land outdoors or sit on the dirty soil for class. The villagers are too poor to afford a teacher. Mortensen promised that he would come back to run a school for them. ...
In the past 12 years, 60 schools have been established in the mountainous areas of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Tibet. Most notably, these schools allow girls who can't go to school to start their education. Mortensen's belief in guarding her sister has changed the lives of a group of girls, so that they no longer hide behind the veil, have the courage to face the world and even have the ability to change the world.
When we doubted whether one person's strength could really change the world, mortensen did. In order to stick to his ideal, even though he was abandoned by his lover, neglected by society, kidnapped by Bati people, separated from his wife and children, imprisoned by warlords, and even suffered the 91/KLOC-0 incident of the US military and the bombing of Afghanistan by the US military, he never forgot his promise when he was sad, depressed, lonely and dying, and was willing to use his life to resolve the greatest hatred in the world.
This is not just a story, it really happened in the world where you and I live. A school, a school, is Mei Sen's way of changing the world. In three cups of tea, let's witness this true story written with life ... recommended by the editor.
A cup of tea, you are a stranger;
Have another drink, you are our friend;
The third cup of tea, you are my family, I will protect you with my life.
Three cups of tea, a story about commitment.
The life of a young girl gave another group of girls the power to change the world.
In the past 12, 60 schools were established in mountainous areas of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Tibet. Mortensen's belief in guarding his sister makes him willing to use his life to resolve the greatest hatred in the world and help a group of girls have the courage to change the world.
What kind of faith made this story happen?
Fu Lei's Family Letters
Letters from Fu Lei is a very special book. It is a reflection of Fu Lei's thought, even the most important work of Fu Lei's life, because "A Letter from Fu Lei" is a letter between him and his son, which reflects his painstaking management of his son as a father. Letters from Fu Lei fully embodies Fu Lei's thoughts. It is written on paper. It's a common saying. He is free to write what he thinks, without worrying about "censorship" or "criticism". Because of this, Fu Lei's letter is like a gurgling stream in the mountains, like white clouds in the blue sky, like seagulls flying freely at sea, like flawless white jade, like transparent crystals. Feelings are so pure, so simple. There is no hypocrisy and no need to put on airs. The significance of Letters from Fu Lei goes far beyond the scope of Fu Lei's family. The book is full of father's love. Perhaps every father loves his children, but at the same time, he does not forget to give them all-round education in music, art, philosophy, history, literature and even health. Even in such a big China, how many people can reach this level is unknown, because it really needs sufficient conditions. Fathers should learn Chinese and western, sons should be knowledgeable, between father and son.
The publication of Letters from Fu Lei is a gratifying thing. It tells us that a pure, honest, sincere and noble soul, although sometimes suffering unexpected hardships, insults and persecution, falls into a desperate situation that seems to be despised by many people. In the end, the real light can't be hidden forever, but it still needs everyone's recognition, so that its flame can shine on the whole world and get the respect and love it deserves.
His son, Fu Cong, is a famous pianist, and Fu Lei's letters are those of Fu Lei and his son, Fu Cong, which reflect Fu Lei's way of teaching his son, which is thought-provoking and worth learning.
As a model of China's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fu Lei devoted their whole lives to training their two children: the famous piano master Fu Cong and the special English teacher Fu Min. This is the successful embodiment of their educational thought of being a man first, then getting married, surpassing themselves, thinking independently and teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. Parents' inculcation, sincere communication between children and parents, and deep affection between the lines have touched parents and children all over the world.
Fu Lei's letter mainly talks about how to educate children.
Since the publication of 18 years ago, Letters from Fu Lei has been reprinted five times and 19 times, with a circulation of over10,000,000 copies. Won the "First Excellent Youth Reading Book of China" (1986), which proves the great influence of this little book. Letters from Fu Lei is a "devoted and fatherly teaching book". It is also "the best reading for art apprentices"; It is also a profound portrayal of ordinary and typical "unwise" intellectuals in modern China.
What is printed in this collection is not an ordinary family letter. Fu Lei said in his letter to Fu Cong, "Writing a long letter to you is not empty nagging, not inexplicable gossip, but has several functions. First, I really take you as an opponent to discuss art and music; Second, I really want to inspire the feelings of some young people, so that my father can get some fresh nutrients, and I can also indirectly spread them to other young people; Third, it is not only your writing that exercises you through communication, especially your thoughts. Fourth, I want to remind you all the time to be a' faithful mirror', no matter in life, in the details of life, in artistic accomplishment and in playing posture. " The affection that runs through all the family letters is to let the son know the honor and disgrace of the country and the dignity of art, treat everything with a serious attitude and be an "artist with both ability and political integrity and excellent personality".
These letters from home reflect Fu Lei's deep love for the motherland and his son. The first thing in the letter is how a young man behaves and how to treat life. Fu Lei expressed his views on the experience of the motherland and taught his son to be modest, rigorous and polite. Don't be discouraged when you encounter difficulties, and don't be proud of winning the grand prize; We should have the sense of honor of the country and the nation, the dignity of art and personality, and be an "artist with both ability and political integrity and excellent personality". At the same time, Fu Lei also gave useful guidance to his son's life. Like a mentor, he put forward opinions and suggestions on how to combine work and rest, manage money correctly, and handle love and marriage correctly in daily life. I love your son beyond words.
Fu Lei also has profound attainments in art, so these family members also spent quite a lot of time talking about art, music works, performance skills, artistic accomplishment and so on. Whether Fu Cong went to Poland to study, won an international prize, or later performed around the world, Fu Lei always paid attention to his son's growth in music and art, rather than giving him directions. In particular, I often send him famous Chinese classical literature and artistic theory books such as painting and sculpture, and encourage him to learn more from poetry, drama, art and other arts to improve his artistic accomplishment.
A letter from home is an expression of true feelings. Coupled with Fu Lei's profound writing skills and artistic accomplishment, these words are vivid, beautiful and touching to read. I believe many readers can learn a lot from it and improve their self-cultivation.

Comments on Fu Lei's letters after reading 1
Letters from Fu Lei is an excerpt from the letters written by Fu Lei and his wife to Fu Cong and Fu Min. From 1954 to1June 966.
This is the best reading for art apprentices and a textbook full of fatherly love. Mr. and Mrs. Fu Lei are models of China's parents. Their two children, Fu Cong, a famous piano master, and Fu Min, a special English teacher, are the successful embodiment of their educational philosophy of being a man first, then getting married, thinking independently and teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. What is printed in this little book is not an ordinary letter from home. In his letter to Fu Cong, Fu Lei said: "Writing a long letter to you is not empty nagging or inexplicable gossip, but has several functions. First, I really take you as an opponent to discuss art and music; Second, I really want to inspire the feelings of some young people, so that my father can get some fresh nutrients, and I can also indirectly spread them to other young people; Third, it is not only your writing but also your thoughts that exercise you through communication; Fourth, I want to remind you all the time to be a' faithful mirror', no matter in life, in the details of life, in artistic accomplishment and in playing posture. " The affection that runs through all the family letters is to let the son know the honor and disgrace of the country and the dignity of art, treat everything with a serious attitude and be an "artist with both ability and political integrity and excellent personality." Parents' inculcation, sincere communication between children and parents, and deep affection between the lines have touched parents and children all over the world.
Letters from Fu Lei and Fu Cong inspired me a lot. Many of our parents have neglected the friendship with their children, and have raised them for more than ten years, but they have never really enjoyed the fun of being parents. Because they are eager to make their children succeed, their attitude towards their children has been distorted, and all kinds of encouraging measures have come out. Some parents blindly imitate Fu Lei's practice of "showing filial sons under the stick", but have they ever thought that they have the quality that Fu Lei's example is more important than words and deeds? Can optical Frey's word "hit" produce good results? So the child tasted abuse and fists, as well as the pain of studying under pressure and fear, and his golden childhood was eclipsed. Fu Lei realized that although he suffered from political movements in his later years, he was happy at this point because he and his son became the closest friends.
Now, many parents are also scrambling to imitate Fu Lei's way of educating their children. Therefore, this has become a mode of parenting education.
After reading Fu Lei's letter 2
When I want to go back and write my thoughts, I find it difficult. Because these letters from home included in the book are wonderful and meticulous, taking notes or any summary may damage this classic. So, here I just record some important impressions after reading this book and the important thoughts expressed by the author I understand.
First of all, in terms of form, Letter from Home has taught me what is meticulous, meticulous and serious ... I believe all readers who have read Letter from Home are deeply touched by these characteristics. According to my own experience, I think this is largely due to the way of expression, communication or writing. Only in this way can we have such a wide range of works, which is naturally comfortable. He not only talks about art study, but also about life, love, being a man and self-cultivation. Even if the son writes a typo, the father will "seriously" point it out and patiently analyze and correct it. It is this way rather than other ways (such as thesis and translation) that enables us to directly and clearly feel the meticulous and serious attitude and style of Mr. Fu Lei, a famous literary critic and literary translator. If Letters from Fu Lei is a "best reading for art apprentices" or a classic "teaching article", then I think this attitude and style should be the first and most meaningful. But it is by no means limited to this. Moreover, because of his knowledge and thoughts, Mr. Fu Lei can explain profound but never difficult truths about any major and minor issues, thus giving people inspiration. Of course, I don't think this is just "the best reading for art apprentices" or "teaching articles". For readers like me who are not an art apprentice (in a narrow sense), these letters are still great. The book shines with wisdom everywhere, giving people profound enlightenment from time to time. Throughout it, I think the most important point is that the relationship among life, practice and study is actually an integrated thought. In my opinion, this is the importance of attaching importance to and emphasizing "universal support". In other letters, this idea appeared, such as suggestions about going to museums and forests, hoping to improve general cultivation through these methods, rather than blindly practicing the piano and engaging in music. What inspires me is that reading is just one of the ways to cultivate one's self-cultivation, and there should be others. Even if you study, don't limit yourself to a certain subject. The establishment and improvement of general education requires reading literature, art, science, philosophy, sociology, economics and history. Because, life or life is by no means as standardized and neat as the classification of university disciplines. All fields are just one aspect of the world we live in. In order to understand the world we live in and ourselves, extensive reading is beneficial. In fact, I was influenced by Mao Zedong for a long time and asked so much of myself. In addition, others, such as the relationship between emotion (passion) and reason, should control emotions with reason; Always look at everything in life from the perspective of the stars or the universe, so as to understand the limitations of people and so on. , these are very insightful, are shining with the light of reason! These are some thoughts after reading Fu Lei's letter. As the saying goes, "the book is not full of words, and the words are not full of meaning." After reading, I can only record part of my gains, but I can't write more. I have to integrate into my body. Originally, reading notes and feeling after reading are just means, and understanding and practicing the truth is the ultimate goal.
[Edit this paragraph] article excerpt
I remember I studied French for three years from thirteen to fifteen. There is something wrong with the teacher's teaching methods, and I didn't study hard, and my grades were very poor (nine times out of ten). Sixteen to twenty years old, I changed my English in Datong, and I didn't do well in the exam, but my grades were better than French. When you go abroad at the age of twenty, your knowledge of French will only be worse than your current Russian. After arriving in France for half a year, I asked my private teacher and my landlady to help me with French. The teacher is responsible for reading and grammar, and the landlady is responsible for conversation and pronunciation. I have been correcting them all day, not in class, but at any time during the conversation. Half a year later, I lived in an intellectual family in France, and everything was fine. After ten months, I can start listening to some less difficult classes. It can be seen that the relationship between learning Chinese abroad and using Chinese anytime and anywhere is no less than five or six times that of China. When you met Li in Moscow, you heard him talk about it. I mentioned it to you specially in order to ask you not to take Russian learning as a "surprise". Finish the grammar in one and a half months, which is a strong memory. You must never digest it, and you will probably forget it after a circle. I think the main thing at present is to grasp the main points of Russian and learn it slowly, but what you have learned must be kept in mind, so that you can have a solid foundation. Greed is useless, but it will affect the piano industry, and even make you sleepy physically and mentally. I hope you can think about this problem carefully. When you figure it out, you should make up your mind to change your method and discuss it with the Russian teacher. There is no rapid learning, especially language. If you stop taking new lessons now and review what you have learned, I'm sure you will find that many of them have been completely forgotten.
The biggest difficulty you encounter when you go abroad is similar to my situation 26 years ago, that is, the language level of your country is too shallow. It is for this reason that I have repeatedly stressed that you are eager to study theory in Beijing. If you have a basic concept of theory, then when you study abroad in the future, you won't find music theory particularly difficult because of language difficulties and music theory difficulties. In other words: In theory, it is more convenient to study abroad after a little entrance. But you never told me about studying theory in Beijing from beginning to end, or even whether it has started. I only know that when you first arrived, you were put on hold because of Luo Jun's illness. Since then, although I have asked you many times in my letter, you haven't answered a word. Now I'll tell you again: I mean it's best to set aside some time to learn Russian and turn it into a house for learning music theory.
I am in favor of going abroad early. You used to think that your Russian was too poor, so you should prepare more before you go. In fact, a Russian learner like you, even if you try your best, may not be able to prepare for another year-unless you don't associate with China people in Beijing and live among Russians all day.
I don't agree to blame myself for not taking action. This is the basic style of being a person, not just for someone or something. I once told you that only facts can prove your thoughts and only actions can show your heart. You can't be so careless with your friends. People who are fickle in nature are the most wronged and the least worthy to act fickle. Just like a person who is not naughty wants to be naughty and ends up suffering, it is the same reason.
You know all the principles of being a man, but you lose because you don't show the facts. I hope you will remember this for the rest of your life from now on. You have to explain everything to others!
Secondly, you can't have a clear understanding and practice of time arrangement, academic arrangement, views on priorities and priorities. This is where I am most worried about you. Because in the future, your life will be as busy as mine, or even busier. If you can't fully grasp the time and prioritize things, everything will be discounted. So, I hope you not only listen to my opinion, but also think about it yourself. If you think about it, you must find a way to implement it immediately. Everything that should be changed or adjusted should be changed immediately, and it cannot be delayed for any reason.
The background of the article and the author's boast:
What is printed in this collection is not an ordinary family letter. Fu Lei said in his letter to Fu Cong, "Writing a long letter to you is not empty nagging, not inexplicable gossip, but has several functions. First, I really take you as an opponent to discuss art and music; Second, I really want to inspire the feelings of some young people, so that my father can get some fresh nutrients, and I can also indirectly spread them to other young people; Third, it is not only your writing that exercises you through communication, especially your thoughts. Fourth, I want to remind you all the time to be a' faithful mirror', no matter in life, in the details of life, in artistic accomplishment and in playing posture. " The affection that runs through all the family letters is to let the son know the honor and disgrace of the country and the dignity of art, treat everything with a serious attitude and be an "artist with both ability and political integrity and excellent personality".
1954 1 month 18 night.
Son, this time you are really "laughing all the time" Teach people how to give up! I've been thinking about1the first month of 953, and I can't get rid of my conscience. Son, I abused you, and I will always be sorry for you. I will never be able to atone! These thoughts have never left my mind all day, but I dare not tell my mother. If you do something wrong in life, your conscience will never be at peace! Really, Balzac said it well: some sins can only be redeemed and cannot be washed away!
(1)1954, Fu Cong went to Poland to participate in the 5th Chopin International Piano Competition and studied in Poland. 1954 1 month 16, the whole family sent Fu Cong to Beijing at Shanghai Railway Station to prepare for going abroad.
