Bi Shumin's prose often makes people feel warm, because she writes about a mother, a wife and a woman.
I read Three Cabins of the Spirit.
The Lodge of Love and Hate
Love and hate are both opposites and unity. The emotional basis of love and hate is opposite, that is, the motivation for their formation is two opposites. It behaves in a very different way. But often love and hate, as people often say, are just a thin line. Maybe love, while giving and taking, will turn into hatred because of the unsatisfactory ending. Since ancient times, such examples abound. This tells us that the initial emotional orientation cannot determine the final appearance of our feelings. Living in hatred is like trying to find a home for your own people. When the purpose of hatred is achieved and a virtual destination is found, people are lost in the endless desert, and it is very painful to go in any direction! On the contrary, living in a loving hut is like looking forward to the warmth of the sun. We trekked happily towards the sun, smiling because we were warm, but never getting burned because we were close to the sun. Love has a home, but it doesn't. The destination of love is by no means driven by any material or inhuman emotion. Her destination is the satisfaction of life and the inner peace of "hate", which will be obtained endlessly because of her persistence in love. So love seems to have no home.
labour exchange
I once read Bi Shumin's essays Notes on Life, from which I got to know her a little. She chose to be a military doctor when she was very young. She dedicated her precious youth to the snowy mountains in the frontier of the motherland. Later, she became a writer. Her "Save the Breast" is the most authentic record of her spiritual experience after joining the army. Perhaps many people have asked her: "Do you regret hiding your youth in the snow covered with countless flesh and blood?" From some of her essays, I know that her answer is no regrets.
The work that took you half your life may not be your career, but what you are willing to pursue for half your life may be the real career. Career may have nothing to do with the purpose of obtaining material things, but persistence can realize the value of life. Historical Records is the cause of Sima Qian, Materia Medica is the cause of Li Shizhen, and Relative Ethics is the cause of Einstein. Geely Group used to produce motorcycles, but Li Shufu said it was his career to produce cars, so he is now making cars. I thought that those who "achieved their careers in the spirit of joining the WTO" first found a clear starting point for their careers. If found, other subjective elements will naturally exist.
Own cabin
That is our spiritual home, so it is important to emphasize that "it belongs to us". Imagine missing your spirit in your own spiritual space and covering up your spiritual outlet in your own spiritual Yuan Ye. How pathetic! In fact, sometimes I am puzzled by the following phenomena. Our ancestors had a highly civilized society, and we are the successors. What is hateful is that although the group that inherits civilization is huge, there are not many people who worship civilization. Undoubtedly, people in modern China talk about national spirit, but in fact they lack a lot of national spirit. In this respect, it is the result of a vicious circle, and there will be many spiritual flags but more dross on the road of national progress. This is terrible, but there is something more worth pondering. As an independent individual, if he can choose the spiritual substance correctly, the group he belongs to can extend in a relatively positive direction relatively evenly, which at least will not lead to the collapse of the whole mental system, but the foundation is not solid. Terrible is that when the whole social atmosphere is full of foreign culture and its dross spirit, it is like a strong wind blowing from the loess wall without foundation. As a result, I forgot at a glance, and the wall was vulnerable. Then it broke into the sand and continued to crush another wall with the wind. Slowly, the whole village was swallowed up by the wind.
So I think each of us should build our own hut. This reminds me of the important surname Enlightenment. Enlightenment can make the whole system relatively sober and complete.
In the choice between love and hate, I think I should choose love, so that I can have the motivation to pursue life.
Throughout my career, I feel that I must first find the fulcrum of my struggle, so as to realize my value.
Thinking about the meaning of spirit, I think that as far as individuals are concerned, we should be independent of the group, and as far as the group is concerned, we should resist the bad temptation outside the system in order to go our own way.
Of course, this is just my humble opinion.
The first room is filled with love and hate, the second room is filled with career, and the third room is used to place yourself. Indeed, everyone is indispensable to spiritual life, and should leave a space for their own spirit, so that life will be poetic and colorful. I believe that everyone has their own spiritual space, storing their own happy or injured hearts. The construction of everyone's spiritual space may be different, but I believe that, like Bi Shumin, it is inseparable from love, hate, career and ideals. Living in this world, we can't avoid many kinds of love and hate. These complex and opposing emotions will fill the hut, and the resulting result is just as Bi Shumin said, "If you love more than hate, the hut will be bright and warm, like a golden pond with red carp swimming, which is your great blessing. If you hate more than love, the cabin will be full of evil spirits and ghosts, and your spirit will be sad and depressed. " Bi Shumin also said that no matter how many hardships and frauds you have suffered in your life, please still believe that the light of human beings is greater than the shadow, even if it is only one percentage point more, and hope is always ahead. Leave enough capacity for love. We can't avoid hatred and filth, so it is inevitable that our hut will be covered with dust. Only love and beauty can cleanse and destroy our spiritual rubbish and give us a clean paradise.
