When Tan Sitong decided to devote himself to the progressive cause of China, in order to avoid involving his family, he wrote a letter denouncing his disloyalty and unfilial in imitation of his father's tone, asking the Qing court not to involve his father when investigating his family in the future. Every time I see this detail, I am moved beyond words. At that time, Tan Sitong's father Tan Jixun was the governor of Hubei, ranking first. After Tan Sitong was killed, Tan Jibiao was given a lighter punishment and retired to his hometown in advance. One day, he passed by the home of Tan Sitong's widow, Li Run, and heard that Li Run couldn't help crying in her room because she missed her dead husband. Hearing the crying, the old man stopped and advised, "Daughter-in-law, don't be sad. Although I am a senior official of the imperial court, my son's position in history will be many times higher than mine! " After reading these, I am glad that the old man has a bright heart, and I am even more moved by Li Run's infatuation. Li Run is a young lady with a big family and a sensible, gentle and considerate wife. She has a good relationship with her husband. A few years after her husband was killed, Li Run died of depression.
Li Jiulian, a poetic name and a girl as beautiful as flowers and pure as jade 18 years old, was brutally killed just because she wrote down her dissatisfaction with the "Cultural Revolution" in her diary. And the person who betrayed her was actually her boyfriend. (Li Jiulian's suicide note says, "What's the use of crying and bleeding like a cuckoo? I cough on the cold iron wall, but I can get an answer. I shout at the living ten million times, just like calling a dead man! ! Gu Zhun, a famous writer and scholar named by Mr. Zhu Xueqin, thanked Gu Zhun for saving the collective shame of our nation in that shameful era. When he was unlucky, his children avoided him like lepers, and his old mother and his sister lived in Beijing. In order not to bring trouble and affect the future of brother-in-law in officialdom, they cut off all contacts with Gu Zhun. How many times did Gu Zhun want to see the children, but they refused. How helpless and painful it is for Gu Zhun, a man of great compassion and great love?
The attitude of life
A couple and a one-year-old child are trapped on a prominent snowy mountain in Fengyun. As time goes by, the child needs to be fed again and again, and the wife's temperature drops again and again. On the 5000-meter-high mountain where the snow was dancing wildly, his wife repeated the usual simple but extremely difficult feeding action over and over again. Her life gradually faded away in repeated feeding. Three days later, the great mother has been frozen into a sculpture, and she is still standing in a breastfeeding position. Her son, the child she raised with her life, is sleeping peacefully in her husband's arms. He has a rosy face and a serene expression. An ordinary posture can be great and eternal as long as it is devoted to the love of life.
Schubert's serenade
The lovelorn Schubert decided not to fall in love and never got married in his life. He even said that he no longer composed music. One day, however, a friend took a little poem and went to find Schubert's music. This little poem was written by that friend for a girl's birthday. I don't know if I can't resist persuasion or I can't give up my love for music. Schubert set the poem to music. My friend took this score home and tried it again, feeling very satisfied. I just want Schubert to play it himself.
Schubert came to his friend's living room, played the song and hummed softly at the same time. It turned out to be a love song, and Schubert didn't enjoy it when composing. Playing at this time reminds him of the past. The song disappeared, and Schubert was still sitting in front of the piano with tears in his eyes. After a long time, he said, "I didn't expect this song to sound so good." This is a serenade.
