Once, Liu Yong was invited to Henan TV Station to record an interview with People, and I was lucky enough to see his true face for the first time. Through his introduction, I know that Liu Yong is not only a writer in Taiwan Province Province, but also a painter. He used to be resident artist of Dainville Art Museum, resident artist of St. John's University and associate professor of St. Vincent's College. He has published more than 60 Chinese and English works and held nearly 30 personal exhibitions around the world. Liu Yong said that he is a person who lives seriously and always wants to surpass himself. He thinks: "life is so lovely, even if it is painful, how grateful it is to be alive." As a writer, we should transcend the times, feel the pulse of the times with the keenest sense of touch, and become the spokesmen of society. A writer should surpass himself and break the original writing pattern, although he has not regretted his death. " To sum up, the creative principles are: speak for yourself and speak for the times; The principle of life is: live up to my heart, live up to my life. Liu Yong is now mainly in charge of Shuiyunzhai. He has a very hot heart, a pair of cold eyes, a pair of hard-working hands, two busy legs and a very free mood.
In the brightly lit studio, Liu Yong is full of open-mindedness, broad-mindedness, fraternity and elegance. Liu Yong gives the impression that his books are full of wisdom, insight, tolerance and gentleness. He talked about the education of a pair of children, which is an education that places "severe love". Therefore, I deeply understand that doing anything can be more perfect and perfect only from the standpoint of love. Because there is a person in the world who lives because of the pursuit of love. Without love, there is no god, and without god, there is no sight. This kind of love is diverse. Love for husband and wife, love for parents of the elderly, love for children and grandchildren, love for friends and partners, love for work, love for natural ecology and love for self-esteem. Liu Yong is a figure whose whole body revolves around "love", from body to brain, from behavior to language. Liuyong is a loving father, a teacher who knows how to teach students and a bosom friend. His works saved the dissatisfied wife who tried to commit suicide, warmed the problem of teenagers who ran away from home and inspired the lost youth. He used the language of love to resolve the contradictions and resentment in their hearts, lit the long-extinguished lamp in their hearts with the wisdom of love, and cared for their fragile and tired souls with the mind of love.
I remember when I was a teenager, not many days were happy. "Grading is the lifeblood of students", and even "The sun shines in the sky and flowers smile at me" is considered hypocritical. From elementary school to junior high school, I didn't get into the key points; Junior high school is getting promoted, but I still didn't get into the key points. At that time, my sky was falling, and I felt like the most unfortunate person in the world. Why did I let such misfortune befall me? Is he really a complete failure? Is it really over? There is no way out? I have cried, regretted, suffered blows and endured setbacks. When I saw a few words in Liu Yong's Whispering in the Firefly Window (3): "When we cry because of pain, we must dry our tears immediately, because only in this way can we gain the respect of others, and only Ming Che's eyes can face the enemy in front of us." I think seriously, reflect seriously, no longer complain, no longer discouraged and shrink back. In this way, with the passage of time, I studied quietly in an ordinary high school, didn't think much, and lived the life I should live. After the intense college entrance examination sprint, I was admitted to a local university, and my previous pain vanished with the arrival of the university admission notice.
Later in college, I read the American book The World After Death translated by Liu Yong. The original work was created by a doctor named Raymond Rudy. The book describes some people who have experienced death and then come back from the dead. These people all have an experience, that is, passing through a black tunnel, and then seeing a ray of light, seeing the right and wrong of previous lives, presented in front of their eyes. After reading this book, I have a deep feeling that people have come to this world to enjoy family ties since childhood, and only when they have husbands, children and grandchildren can we give full play to our family ties. From our parents' point of view, there is a natural force that pushes us to find our lifelong partner, so we have love. In this love, it is natural to push us to the stage, that is, we want to produce the crystallization of love. In this world, what we come and go, what we see and touch, what we eat, play and use are all made by others. Others grow wheat, grind wheat, make bread, and then we eat it, and the fruits of our labor are shared by others. That's the atmosphere created by people around us, and that's a lot of friendship. This is a rotating world, so we should enjoy it. Most importantly, what can we take with us when we leave? Nothing is taken away, what we take away is love, what we take away is the love of the world, the love of the world for us, what we take away is family, the sadness and disappointment of our loved ones. What we take away is friendship. If you make a lot of contributions to the world in your lifetime and are nurtured and nourished by you, how much they miss you. This is the life of affection, love and friendship.
Sometimes, I often think: "People are going to live this life (this is the topic of an essay by Liu Yong)", really, this life! Savor carefully, these seven words are easy to say, simple to sound, but profound to think of. It can make me brave when I am weak, modest when I am proud, positive when I am decadent, and happy when I am in pain. The pain, troubles, grievances and grievances in the world, if any, can't be resolved and digested. Won't they all disappear in just a few decades? Our tomorrow is difficult. We have to work, have exams, buy food and fight. As long as you can't do one thing, you will turn your back on people tomorrow. Therefore, we often sigh with Dongpo's lay man: "A drop in the ocean, flying in heaven and earth", and cry with Chen Ziang: "Before me, where did all those lost years go? Behind me, where are the future generations? I think of heaven and earth, there is no limit, there is no end, I am alone, and my tears fall. " Only Li Taibai: "Between heaven and earth, everything goes against the current; Time flies, hundreds of generations of passers-by, and they are happy to dream. " In a moment of mourning for time and feeling for the rest of everything, we put aside the secularity around us and played down the struggle in front of us.
Liu Yong is far away from us, so far that we think his works are so close to us, so kind, unique and beautiful. As if he smiled at us in the vast night sky, as if he waved to us in a dream. When I read Liu Yong, I will think of all the toys that represent love: teddy bear, Snoopy dog, HELLO-KITTY cat, walking rabbit, clown fish, cherry maruko, Mickey ... After reading Liu Yong, I will think of all the natural beauty that represents love: crystal, diamond, agate, jade ... gradually, I know more about Liu Yong and Liu Yong. He looks at ordinary people and the world from the perspective of ordinary people, and finally he can accept the beauty and ugliness of the world calmly. I think the warning he gave me was like an injection. It really hurts for a second, but when I encounter setbacks, I will have greater endurance and defend myself.
If I really want to write a paragraph as a conclusion, I hope it is in Liu Yong's language:
May everyone walk out of the cage of the soul;
May everyone walk out of the one-way street in their hearts;
May every young friend shine brightly when he is young;
I hope everyone can face a broad life.
Transcend, create and affirm yourself,
Fight for the love of life,
Because love gives us strength!
