"After three months of war, a letter from home is worth a ton of gold." Letters, as a way to maintain feelings between Wan Li's lost relatives, have had extraordinary significance since ancient times. This article by a pair of dads comes from the communication between the secretary channels of the civil service examination network, which can have such great influence and get so much recognition. This is the difference between a letter from Fu Lei and an ordinary letter from home.
I have lived with my parents for a long time, and I can't feel the faint sadness and sweetness brought by the distance when I exchange letters from home. I long for this feeling, so I read a letter from Fu Lei.
A Collection of Fu Lei's Letters 1954-1966 Most of the Chinese and foreign letters written by Fu Lei and his wife to Fu Cong and Fu Min were addressed to Fu Cong, the eldest son who went abroad and eventually became a famous piano player. A thousand words, the meaning of every word is surging. Readers are moved by Fu Lei's spirit. The letter contains regrets about past education, praise and encouragement for my son's progress, guidance and discussion on music art, views and opinions on the construction and movement of the party and the country, and concern for my son's life. "The goodwill that runs through all letters is to let my 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 outstanding personality." Reading "Letters from Home" is to look at a Bingxin world written by Fu Lei, which is warm and quiet, profound and simple, gentle and proud, implicit and frank. We not only understand why Fu Lei became a famous translator, but also understand the true meaning of life.
I am deeply touched by such a passage in the book: "Speaking of incompleteness ... the perfection you said does not exist at all, and the whole life, the world and the universe are far from perfect. ..... Our lifelong pursuit, the pursuit of generations in history, is nothing more than perfection, but we will never pursue it, because people's ideals and fantasies are endless, ... "So I thought of a story. In the past, a broken mirror was broken into many pieces, and one of them wanted to find the rest to rebuild the original mirror. Along the way, it rolls slowly because of its sharp edges and corners, thus enjoying the delicious food along the way. When it worked hard to find all the pieces, it turned into a whole circle and rolled very fast, and the scenery along the way passed in an instant. In fact, we are all pursuing perfection, and it is precisely our current incompleteness that has brought us to the realm of pursuing perfection and contributed to the relative integrity of other aspects. But when the so-called perfection happens to us one day, we may lose a lot.
Fu is famous for being strict in this article. I thought their father-son relationship was not very good, but after reading this book, their ideas changed a lot. When Fu Cong went abroad to study, he naturally had to contact his father by letters, and the affection between father and son was obvious in a letter. They discuss art together through letters, study the connotation of music and exchange views on things. Although there is no so-called care and consideration when mother and son communicate, the tacit understanding between them is irreplaceable.
Looking back at this book after closing the book, the biggest feeling is that Fu Lei has profound attainments in art, and Fu Lei has his own views on the understanding of art, especially music. This reminds me that people who have made achievements in literature also have higher research in the field of art, perhaps because literature and art are the same. Different excellent literary works will have different psychological effects after reading; Different styles of concerts bring similar results. Beautiful prose brings pleasure like enjoying a cheerful aria; A heavy novel brings shock like a sad symphony; Humorous sketches will bring elegant scenes like opera and endless thinking afterwards. After carefully reading the book "Letters from Fu Lei", I feel that it gives people a good atmosphere and room for aftertaste like a traditional opera.
The book "Letters from Fu Lei" is a father's cordial reading, full of affection for his son and his father's unique irresistible majesty.
Reading Fu Lei's letter, we feel a pure, honest, sincere and noble soul. The love between father and son is sublimated because of the sublimity of art, and it has become an inexhaustible nourishment for the human spirit.

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 ideas such as being a man first, getting married later, surpassing themselves, thinking independently and teaching students in accordance with their aptitude.

Reading teaching
Bloody fatherly love
First, what the heart loves.
In their letters at home, Mr. and Mrs. Fu Lei always praise them as kindly as possible: Dear Clever! Dear child! It seems to be soothing and gently calling the wanderers outside. At the beginning of each letter, we can clearly feel the excitement when Fu Lei and his wife received a letter from their overseas son, and the anxiety and yearning when they haven't heard from each other for a long time. There is such a passage in the letter: "... the day after you left, you wanted to write, fearing that you would be bored, so you had to give up." But not a day goes by that I don't miss you. I wake up at six or seven every morning and can't sleep over and over again. I can't say why ... "After reading it, I remembered that my parents accompanied me to read books after twelve o'clock every day during the college entrance examination, but when I succeeded in the college entrance examination, my parents almost lost sleep." Besides, when they learned that their son was going to perform in China, Fu Lei and his wife were both happy and anxious. In order to let their son study abroad better, they finally resolutely encouraged Fu Cong to give up performing in China. It is with too deep love that there will be so much lingering and torture. I suddenly remembered a passage I had read, and I changed it. " If there is a next life, I will not be your child, because you have lived too hard for me! " "
Second, equal love.
Many people think that A Letter from Fu Lei is a godson full of fatherly love. I think it's more like a heart-to-heart job with friendly friends. No matter from the tone or content of Fu Lei's speech, I think that Fu Lei is having a cordial conversation with his son as a friend and confidant. In his letters, Fu Lei always tries to talk to his son as a peer. He once mentioned, "... your father is not very backward, but also making progress." He also hopes that some of his ideas will not lag behind ... ". In fact, Fu Lei is really like this. He has been studying and looking for his son's singing point. In his letters from home, he often discusses art with his son, his views on art and his own experiences.
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". Slowly, we were all attracted, understood the love of Fu Lei and his wife, and realized the warmth and sincerity between the lines. Letter from Fu Lei is full of parents' responsibilities, passionate and deep love for their children, and conveys the spirit of persistent pursuit of truth and morality.
This is a strict father, a mentor. This is a pair of father and son, but also a pair of confidants. The height of the spirit and soul is bright, reflecting each other and enviable. If this is education, I prefer to call it heart-to-heart communication! Fu Lei answered his son as a friend, not telling what to do, but establishing the equality of friends.
Third, "harsh" love.
Fu Lei's education of his son as a child can be regarded as strict in the true sense, which is really inhuman. He personally compiled teaching materials, gave lessons to children every day, set an example, personally urged and strictly implemented them. Children are always cautious in front of him and dare not be willful. Only when their father goes out can they dare to laugh loudly and have fun. He stipulates how children should talk, do and eat, and can't go beyond it. When eating, he pays attention to whether the child sits up straight, whether the posture of elbow leaning on the table interferes with the people at the same table, and whether it makes impolite chewing sound. ……
He is as strict with children as he is with himself, others, work and all aspects of life. My son is excellent in all aspects, especially in music. After studying abroad, he corresponded with his son for a long time. These long years have closely linked the hearts of father and son in Wan Li. Even when his son was successful in his career, he still did not forget to teach him how to pay attention to writing and how to talk with his elders ... Its severity should also prove his love for his son to some extent.
Fourth, be careful of falling in love.
There are many artistic dialogues between father and son in the letter, sharing their artistic experience with each other. In his letters, he often talks about the combination of China culture and western music. He sent pictures, copybooks, rubbings and explanations to his son all the way. Actively edify them with the cultural essence of China.
"Last week, I told Enduring Sorrow and Pipa Travel for Ender, and it was very beautiful. Bai Juyi deeply understands the relationship between syllables and emotions. Anyone who turns to a sad place ... can't remember how much of the book is asking his son what he needs and what he can do for him. Fu Lei, like most parents in China, likes to educate his children in the way he thinks best, rather than choosing the way that suits him or his children most. Love should be given in the way that the other person needs it most and likes it most.
The most wonderful thing in the book is the music and literary criticism written by Fu Lei. In a few words, the wonderful argument lasted far longer than his serious article. In the article Night on July 28th, 1954,/kloc-0, he wrote Bai Ju's comments on the musical beauty of China's poems: "Last week, I told Song Min" Song of Eternal Sorrow "and" Pipa Trip ",which were very beautiful. Bai Juyi has a profound understanding of the relationship between syllables and emotions. Whenever you go to a sad place, you must use rhyme. In Pipa, the passages of "noisy big strings" and "cut small strings" are like staccato [,like the sound of pipa; And the phrase "silence is better than sound" is equal to a long pause. Silver bottle ... water slurry burst "is another sudden attack [,magnificent. As for Song of Eternal Sorrow, its breath is detached, its love writing is unconventional, and its [emperor's] nobility is everywhere. It's even more amazing There are several different ways of reading: one is to read the ups and downs of the narrative in a separate paragraph; The second is to look at the sadness, joy, diving and elegance of emotions; The third is to experience the changes of syllables and rhymes in the whole poem. "Only parents in the world can analyze every detail so thoroughly and take such pains!
5. Eternal fatherly love.
Fu Cong said of his father: "Warm and quiet, profound and simple, gentle and arrogant, microsecond and straightforward." In these letters, there are not only warmth, but also wisdom, simple and profound understanding of life, work and ideals. These letters from home contain Fu Lei's fiery and transparent heart. Therefore, it is understandable why the masters of that year were enough to stop today's colleagues at the top of the mountain. They have created a height that many people can't reach today-"virtue and art, outstanding personality."
I was very nervous when my son wrote, and I was excited all day when I received the letter. I copied 60,000 words of Greek Sculpture for my son and wrote letters to my son and daughter-in-law in different languages. This is the inheritance wind.
Letters from Fu Lei not only teaches people how to be parents, but also warns the world how to be children, and even instructs us what attitude and pursuit we should have towards life and work.
Fu Lei taught Fu Cong to plan his work and life, reduce unnecessary time and have "arranged skills".
He said, "The more you despise matter, the more you need to control it." Therefore, I always take pains to give the experience and experience of family economic planning seriously.
He prepares books for his sons from time to time, or recommends good books to guide them to read more serious books, and can't just spend time on entertaining reading.
He always carefully pointed out the mistakes in his son's letters and told Fu Cong how to express his feelings in rich language.
Of course, they also discuss piano playing skills together and share their feelings and views on art, so broad and selfless, which is what ordinary people can give.
teaching process
First, the song import, to mobilize emotions
As the saying goes, "a good beginning is half the battle", reading guidance is an extremely important part of teaching, and successful reading guidance is the beginning of a successful class. There are many ways to guide the classroom, such as introducing paternal love from poems describing maternal love, directly from stories describing paternal love, and introducing Fu Lei. In order to better arouse students' emotions, I finally chose Li Chunbo's song "Letter from Home" which students are familiar with.
Second, take the ninth grade "Two Letters from Fu Lei" as an example to read the text and feel the whole.
Through reading, students can roughly perceive that the writing time and content of these two letters are different, but both of them are full of the father's expectation for his son-to be a strong person, so as to understand the editor's intention of combining these two letters.
Third, grasp the key points of the article and understand the central idea of the article.
Let students understand the author's profound understanding of life by combining their own accumulated sentences and understanding philosophical words such as "strong", "loneliness" and "childlike innocence", so as to lay a good foundation for students to think about what kind of person they want to be.
Fourth, taste the language and experience the feelings.
This link is still inseparable from reading, but this time in order to let students participate in the discussion and express their views, we can use group cooperation to create a good learning atmosphere. Experience the friendship between father and son from reading, get enlightenment from reading, and form correct values and positive attitude towards life through speculation.
Five, contact with reality, expand thinking
Come out from the text and let the students re-examine their loved ones, especially the father's love that is not obvious and often ignored. Combine your mouth and hands, express yourself orally first, and then express your feelings with a pen. If time permits, teachers can also participate when students communicate, and teachers and students can chat together.
Sixth, expand the related links of reading.
Time in the classroom is always limited. In Chinese teaching, which is integrated in and out of class, it is impossible to learn Chinese well by classroom alone. Students are also required to explore and fill the classroom teaching as a breakthrough after class, and freely absorb more sufficient nutrients to grow. Therefore, through relevant links, guide students to continue to explore after class.
