Buddhism and love are a dilemma for others, but Master Hongyi never hesitated.
He lived a bohemian life and became a monk in the first half of his life.
Formerly known as Li Shutong, he is a famous musician, art educator, calligrapher and drama activist. After returning from studying in Japan, he worked as a teacher and editor. Later, he became a monk and was honored as the eleventh ancestor of Legalism, known as Master Hongyi.

Zhang Ailing said: Don't think that I am a proud person. I have never been, at least outside the temple wall of Master Hongyi, I am so humble.
Lin Yutang said: Li Shutong is one of the most talented geniuses of our time, and also the strangest and most independent person in the world.
The world speaks highly of him. In fact, the legends of great men are often paved with the sadness of ordinary people.
His so-called sympathy hurt two women.
His wife, Yu, gave birth to three children for him, and spent her whole life missing and waiting until her death, without seeing him for the last time.
His Japanese wife Fuji, who was far away from home, followed him to China, but he finally became a monk and sent her back to China.
Fudge asked: What is love?
He replied: Love is pity.
Fudge asked sadly, why does compassion hurt me when it comes to the world?
He was speechless and turned away.
This is Li Shutong, Master Hongyi. He can be kind to the world, but he hurts his loved ones mercilessly.

Li Shutong is a rich second generation born with a golden key. His family is a rich man in Tianjin. He has been engaged in salt industry and currency industry for generations. He is the son of his father at the age of 68, and he is very loved.
Li Shutong showed amazing intelligence when he was a child. When he was still learning to speak, he could recite couplets with his old father.
He became the hope of his family, but he fell in love with a famous actress, and finally the famous actress became a concubine. He was very unhappy after being lovelorn.
In order to alleviate his depression, his brother and mother at home quickly married his wife Yu.
For Yu, he has no feelings, entirely because of a word from the matchmaker.
At that time, it was normal for people with advanced ideas not to like the original match, and he was no exception.
I am a good family, gentle and virtuous. On the surface, he has always respected each other, and Yu has three children, but Yu has never won his heart.
Li Shutong and his family came to Shanghai on 1898. Like all rich children and young artists, he is eloquent and energetic.
At the same time, he also lingered in the carnival and made friends with socialites, but never interfered and tried his best to keep the family calm.

During that time, Li Shutong's talents were brought into full play.
In order to support the student movement, he dropped out of school and joined the new learning organization "Shanghai Society". In Shanghai society, Li Shutong's articles have been ranked first for many times, and he is favored by celebrities and talents in Shanghai. He is also regarded as a "gifted scholar" and is famous in Shanghai.
He joined a cultural society, founded a lecture workshop, organized students to perform new plays and became a man of the hour.
I think I am a woman who is silently behind my back. As long as I am by his side, there is home and love. However, she was wrong. Li Shutong never belonged to his family. He longed for a wide world.
1905, Li Shutong lost control, left his wife and children in Shanghai and went to Japan to study.
In Japan, he met his second wife, whose name was Fuji.
Fudge knows that he has a wife and children, but he is still willing to follow him without regrets. He left his hometown for thousands of miles and followed him to China.

After bringing Fuji back to China, he lived with her in Shanghai, and Yu lived alone in Tianjin.
Fuji and Li Shutong have been together for 1 1 years and have always loved each other.
But she never imagined that one day Li Shutong would escape into an empty net and break up with her.
Hangzhou and Nanjing have been Buddhist countries since ancient times. The so-called "four hundred and eighty temples in the southern dynasties, how many towers are misty and rainy", there are more temples in Hangzhou, with more than 2,000 in size.
Li Shutong gave lectures in Suzhou and Hangzhou and felt the ethereal spirit of Buddhism. He decided to become a monk.
When Fuji hurried to Suzhou and Hangzhou, he finally found him in a temple, but at this time, he closed the door and disappeared.
Fudge was helpless and asked sadly the closed temple gate: Why does compassion hurt me for the world?
Yu, perhaps disheartened, got used to waiting alone and refused his family's request: "I won't go because he can't come back."

Fudge returned home sadly and never heard from again.
She never imagined that her obsession with love ended in a tragic ending when she went home alone.
I spent most of my life alone. Even after his death, he didn't wait until Li Shutong came to see her. He didn't say a word. How can he be merciful when he is so fickle?
Li Shutong was born with a romantic life and spent a lot of money. He was born with a monk, and the bitter method itself.
To some extent, he has always been a rich dude in Tianjin. No matter how prudent and thrifty he is, he just follows his own heart, staying abroad if he wants, falling in love if he wants, and becoming a monk if he wants.
Be spontaneous, affectionate and loyal to your choice all your life.
He wants to be a god. God belongs to the world, not to a person. If you have feelings for God, you are doomed to get hurt.
Knowing this, I am relieved.
