The "Fu Lei Family Letter" written by Fu Lei to his son Fu Cong, the original text is as follows:
Cong, dear child. I am very happy to receive the sixth letter sent late on September 22. We are not in any way troubled or disturbed by your previous letter. I also warned you in my eighth letter that this kind of depression will still happen in the future. I've been through this before, so I won't make a fuss. You don’t have to worry about it, let alone keep it in your belly and not tell us.
If you don’t vent your depression in letters home, where can you vent it? If a child doesn't complain to his parents, who can he complain to? If we don’t come to comfort you, who will? People are always ups and downs throughout their lives. Only mediocre people can live like stagnant water; or they must have extremely high cultivation to be free from fatigue and truly liberated. As long as the highs don't make you nervous and the lows don't make you decadent, that's fine.
If the sun is too strong, it will scorch the grains; if the rain is too strong, it will drown the crops. We just want to be mentally balanced so as not to get hurt. You are not someone who can't get up after a somersault. I predict that the past few years abroad will be of great help to you as a whole. I understand the pain mentioned in this letter; I sympathize with it and am willing to try my best to comfort and encourage you.
Didn’t Christophe go through this situation many times? Isn't he the epitome and crystallization of all artists? Gradually, you will develop a different mood to deal with the past: that is, you can think about it without being frightened, and you can analyze the causes and consequences from an objective standpoint and draw lessons from the future to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
Only when a person dares to face reality and mistakes, use rational analysis, and thoroughly comprehend, can he not be eroded by memories. I believe you will gradually learn this trick and become stronger and stronger.
I have mentioned emotional ruin (trauma, destruction) to you in my letter before, that is, I want you to look at these things as the ashes of your soul. Of course, you will be filled with emotions when you look at them, but you should not be deeply hurt. For yourself, you should have the same respect as if you were facing an ancient battlefield.
If you think these words are right and have some inspiration for you, then in the future when you encounter pain caused by memories (it will inevitably happen again), take out this letter and re-read it a few times. all over.
