The article "Lao Wang" was written in 1984. The author described several fragments of his life in the past communication with Lao Wang. During the formal Cultural Revolution, Jiang Yang and his wife suffered a lot at that time and were regarded as the authority of reactionary academics.
But Lao Wang doesn't care about the evaluation of the husband and wife, and still respects the husband and wife as always. In this way, the image of Lao Wang was deeply imprinted in Jiang Yang's mind.
At the time of writing this article, Jiang Yang has passed that turbulent time. When she recalls the kind people she met in turbulent times, people are more likely to ignore their sufferings.
Extended data:
Lao Wang in Jiang Yang's article is an ordinary worker living at the bottom of society. Regardless of material, physical, or spiritual, Lao Wang is completely unfortunate.
But such unfortunate people met Jiang Yang in a historical period. Their acquaintance was unequal from the beginning. He pushed me to sit, and the communication between them was limited to chatting, but Lao Wang still cherished such acquaintances.
He conveyed this treasure in his own way. During the Cultural Revolution, Mr. Qian, her husband, could not walk with only one leg. Lao Wang sent Mr. Qian to the hospital and refused to take money. He said, "If I have no money, I will send Mr. Qian to see a doctor." ?
The reason why Lao Wang did this is because he felt a kind of warmth and closeness that he had never felt before in his contacts with the Jiang Yang family. Jiang Yang regards him as an acquaintance and is willing to listen to his gossip.
Jiang Yang's daughter also gave him a large bottle of cod liver oil, which made his eye disease better. After he did some work for Jiang Yang's family, he always got some money compensation.
Although sometimes, taking money is not from his original intention, such warmth and closeness have comforted Lao Wang's lonely heart. It is this warmth that makes Lao Wang consciously or unconsciously gain a spiritual sustenance.
