Fu Lei’s Family Letter is written by the Chinese literary and art translator Fu Lei and his wife to Fu Cong, Fu Min, etc. Excerpts from the letter, written between 1954 and June 1966.

This is the best book for art apprenticeship cultivation, and it is also a book about teaching children full of father's love. Fu Lei and his wife are models of Chinese parents. They painstakingly and painstakingly cultivated the two children: Fu Lei. Cong, a famous piano master, and Fu Min, a special English teacher, are successful embodiments of their educational ideas such as being a person first and becoming a "family" later, thinking independently, and teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. It is compiled and printed in this small book, which is not an ordinary family letter. Fu Lei said this in his letter to Fu Cong: "Writing you a long and tiring letter is not empty chatter or inexplicable gossip, but it has several functions. First, I do regard you as a person who discusses art. , my opponent in discussing music; secondly, I really want to stimulate the feelings of some of you young people, so that I, as a father, can get some fresh nourishment, and at the same time, I can indirectly spread it to other young people; thirdly, I want to use communication to train your - Not only the writing style, but especially your thoughts; fourthly, I want to be a policeman and a 'faithful mirror' for you at all times and everywhere, no matter in terms of life, details of life, or artistic accomplishment. , in terms of performance attitude. "The sentiment that runs through the entire family letter is that the son should know the honor and disgrace of the country and the dignity of art, and be able to treat everything with a serious attitude, and be an artist with both moral and artistic skills and outstanding personality." His sincere teachings, sincere communication between children and parents, and family affection overflowing between the lines have given strong inspiration to parents and children all over the world.

The family letters of Fu Lei and Fu Cong gave me a lot of inspiration. Many of our parents have neglected the friendship relationship with their children and have raised them for more than ten years without truly enjoying the joy of being a parent. Because they eagerly hope that their children will become successful and their daughters will become phoenixes, their mentality towards their children is distorted, and all kinds of manipulations are encouraged. Measures have been taken. Some parents blindly imitate Fu Lei's approach of "bringing out filial sons under the hammer", but have they ever thought about whether they have Fu Lei's quality of teaching by example rather than by words? Optics Fu Lei's word "fight", can he get a good result? As a result, the child tasted insults, fists, and the pain of learning under pressure and fear, and the child's golden childhood was eclipsed. Fu Lei figured it out. Although he was tortured in his later years due to political movements, he was happy at this point because he and his son became the most intimate friends.

Nowadays, many parents are eager to imitate Fu Lei’s way of teaching their children. Therefore, this has become a model for parent-child education.

I have lived with my parents for a long time, so I cannot experience the slight sadness and the slightest sweetness caused by the distance when exchanging letters from home. I longed for this feeling, so I read this "Fu Lei Family Letter".

I feel deeply about this passage in the book: "Speaking of incompleteness...the perfection you mentioned, in fact, perfection does not exist at all. The entire life, world, and universe , it’s not even perfection. … Our lifelong pursuit, and the pursuit of many generations throughout history, is nothing but perfection, but it can never be pursued, because people’s ideals and fantasies are never-ending…” From this I thought of a story. There used to be a broken mirror, which was broken into many pieces. One of them wanted to find the remaining pieces to reconstruct the appearance of the original mirror. Along the way, it rolled very slowly because of its angular shape, so it could appreciate the delicious scenery along the way. When it painstakingly found all the fragments and "reunited the broken mirror", it became a complete circle and rolled very quickly, and the scenery along the way passed by in an instant. In fact, we are all pursuing perfection, and it is precisely our current incompleteness that brings us to the state of pursuing perfection and contributes to the relative completeness of other aspects. But when one day the so-called perfection happens to us, we may lose a lot.

Fu Lei’s godson is famous for his strictness. I thought that the relationship between father and son was not very good, but after reading this book, my thoughts changed greatly. Fu Cong went to study abroad, and his contact with his father naturally relied on letters, so the love between father and son was clearly revealed in a letter from home. They discussed art together, studied the connotation of music, and exchanged views on things through letters. Although there was no inquiring about things like mother-son correspondence, the tacit understanding between them was irreplaceable.

When I think back on the book after closing it, the biggest impression is Fu Lei’s profound attainments in art. Fu Lei has his own opinions on art, especially music. This makes me think that most people who have made achievements in literature also have advanced research in the field of art. Maybe it’s because literature and art are the same. Different excellent literary works will produce different psychological effects after reading them; and various types of music with different styles will also bring similar results. Beautiful prose brings you the pleasure of enjoying a cheerful aria; heavy novels bring you the shock of a sad symphony; humorous essays bring you the elegance and elegance of an opera. Scenes and endless thoughts afterwards. After reading "Fu Lei's Family Letter" carefully, I feel that it gives people a good atmosphere and room for aftertaste, just like an opera.

The whole book "Fu Lei's Family Letter" is about a father's persuasion. It is very friendly to read. It is full of deep affection for his son and also has the father's unique irresistible majesty. Sometimes I still think about what it would be like if I could exchange a few letters like this with my father!

This summer I read a book that benefited me a lot - "Books from the Family of Fu Lei".

It not only allows us to know how to be a good child, but more importantly, it allows us to know how to be a human being and how to treat life. It also allows me to better understand what my parents are thinking about mentally. This makes me Can better communicate with parents. It should also be a good book for children to understand their parents.

Children can understand their parents through this book, and parents can understand their children through this book. Every word and sentence written by Fu Lei in the letter has become a classic and an immortal classic.

It can be seen from the book that Fu Lei is a person who is strict with himself and even mean. This is determined by his life experience. Fu Lei lost his father when he was young and was given a strict tutor by his mother in childhood. Cultivate your own moral character in details. Although there are many words to educate his son in his family letters, Fu Lei actually did it himself. This means that in Confucian culture, moral cultivation is better than words. Of course, this is inseparable from the Confucian culture he received, which has Confucian heritage, and the acceptance of materialist ideas from beginning to end.

As a father, Fu Lei has very rich emotions for his children. In fact, the parents around us are as ordinary and great as Fu Lei. Our fathers often worked hard for our livelihood, for our study, for us to go to a good school, and for us to have good grades, making their hair turn white. This is truly great. , this is the real father! Fu Lei can be said to be an outstanding representative among thousands of fathers. His loving psychology towards his children enables his children to grow up healthily.

From here, I thought that parents are really worried about the education of their children. Many children's autonomy is getting lower and lower, so that today's children cannot adapt to society, cannot take care of themselves and do some things. This is the tragedy of Chinese parents. Therefore, when raising a child, it is best to give him freedom when he is young, and let him take risks when he is young. . Don't overindulge, let him bear some things on his own. Tell him everything he should know about the world, the country, the society, and this family. Never say, "You'll understand when you grow up." Then he will not cherish his childhood. There is no best. Only better. Besides, people can't understand it all their lives, so sometimes they can only let nature take its course. You gave him life and responsibility. Every parent and every family is just a temporary haven. The ship that wants to go to sea will eventually go to sea, and the wind and waves that it has to experience are ultimately unavoidable. Many roads and dark nights in life can only be faced alone. Parents cannot replace or bear the responsibility for their children's lives. Tsinghua University once dismissed a student because he did not know how to dress or tie his shoes at school. Another report said that there was a girl who didn't know how to boil eggs at school, so she had to go home crying holding two eggs. Such a ridiculous thing actually happened in real life. Is it strange? Not surprising! With such education, there will be such children.

Flowers in a greenhouse are fragile, while trees in nature can withstand violent storms.

Francis? Bacon was a famous British thinker, politician and empirical philosopher in the 17th century. Speaking of his name, everyone will think of his "Essays of Bacon". This summer, I had the honor to read his articles. From the books, I saw his persistence in philosophy, his passion for politics, his love for life, his pursuit of ideals, his spirit of never giving up on difficulties, and his spirit of continuous self-improvement. manner.

The book "Bacon's Essays" is divided into "On the Pursuit of Knowledge", "On Beauty", "On Goodness", "On Truth", "On Health", "On Family", "On Friendship" Wait for many essays, the language is concise, and a short article can benefit people a lot. It is very popular among readers from all over the world, and it is said that many people have been influenced by this book.

The essays in "Bacon's Essays" are all excellent, and they are worth reading and savoring over and over again. In "On the Pursuit of Knowledge", Bacon said: "Human nature is like wild flowers and grass, and seeking knowledge and learning is like pruning and transplanting." It can be seen that seeking knowledge can change people's destiny and is very important in our lives. In "On Beauty", Bacon said: "The beauty of form is better than the beauty of color, and the beauty of elegant behavior is better than the beauty of form." Bacon's words not only broadened people's horizons, but also brought them to enlightenment.

Among these dozens of essays, my favorite is "On Friendship". I think the most indispensable thing in life is friendship. I particularly like a sentence in the book: "People who do not have friendship will be pitiful lonely all their lives. A society without friendship will be a desert. Therefore, people who are happy to be alone do not belong to humans but to beasts."

However, another sentence he said in "On Friendship" is also familiar to us: "If you tell a friend about your happiness, you will get two happiness; and if you pour out your sorrow to a friend, you will be divided." Half sad. "This sentence makes us realize that friendship is really important.

A good book can make people understand a truth, a good book can build a shortcut for people, and a good book can even change people's lives. The destiny of a person's life! As Bacon said: "Reading history makes people wise, reading poetry makes people smart, mathematics makes people thoughtful, science makes people profound, ethics makes people solemn, and logic and rhetoric make people eloquent." .

Many people like this great philosopher, Bacon, but not me! I hate this Bacon who stands from an aristocratic standpoint and a patriarchal perspective. I hate this scheming and sophisticated person. Bacon, I hate this Bacon who has utilitarian ideas and is well versed in the operation of officialdom!

However, after reading "Bacon's Essays" two days ago, I discovered another person who had completely different ideas from me! Bacon. I saw his persistence in philosophy, his passion for politics, his love for life, his pursuit of ideals, and his spirit and attitude of never giving up and never giving up on difficulties.

I suddenly understood. Understand: “Oh! It turns out there is such a bacon! ”

Among the dozens of essays, “On Beauty” left a deep impression on me. Not to mention that the articles in this article are all about male emperors with both beauty and virtue. This article It is a classic work on "beauty". It focuses on how people should treat external beauty and inner beauty. "Goodness is like a gem, which is beautiful when set in nature; and what is good when attached to beauty is undoubtedly the most beautiful, but this is not the case." Beauty does not have to be handsome, but only needs to be dignified and pleasant in manner. "Yes, the beauty of the body is better than the beauty of the color, and the beauty of elegant behavior is better than the beauty of the body. Therefore, I think that a person's appearance is important, but if there is no connotation, the appearance is just a body, and how can it be counted as a walking corpse? What is beauty? So, people are beautiful because they are cute, not because they are beautiful.

After reading this book, I suddenly remembered that no one is perfect, and everyone has their own ideals and beliefs. Of course, the things we pursue and the dreams we pursue are also different. You can’t impose your own preferences on others, and you can’t judge others based on your own preferences. Besides, people have two sides! Draw on the essence to make up for your own shortcomings, and lay a solid foundation for the long road of life in the future.

A good book can make people understand a truth, and a good book can build a shortcut for people. , a good book can even change a person's life's destiny! As Bacon said: "Reading history makes people wise, reading poetry makes people smart, mathematics makes people thoughtful, science makes people profound, ethics makes people solemn, logic and rhetoric make people. "Learning makes people eloquent", I have to affirm that from a certain aspect, this is a good book that makes people better!

Reflections after reading Bacon's Essays

"Bacon's Essays" " was written by Francis Bacon, a famous British thinker, politician and empiricist philosopher in the seventeenth century. This scientist, whom Marx called "the true ancestor of British materialism and the entire modern experimental science", was born in A rich man, he studied to be a lawyer and entered politics. After several twists and turns, he became an important minister of the country. Finally, he was impeached and resigned by Congress due to a bribery case. "Bacon's Essays" mainly talks about Bacon's attitude and thoughts on looking at things from different perspectives. The content of this book involves politics, economy, religion, love, marriage, friendship, art, education, ethics, etc. Bacon wrote his own thoughts on various aspects of the content, revealing Bacon's attitude towards life and handling of affairs between the lines. Method.

Among the dozens of essays, the one that impressed me the most was "On Friendship". In this essay, he wrote: "If you tell a friend about your happiness, you will get something. Two joys; and if you confide your sorrows to a friend, half of your sorrows will be shared with you. "This shows that in our lives, friends are an indispensable role around us. They add a color to our lives. When we encounter difficulties, friends are a reliable pillar that we can rely on; When we fall, a friend is a crutch, helping us to stand up and telling us: "Stand up from where you fell!" "When we want to give up halfway, a friend is a memo, reminding us that we must persist to the end; when we succeed, a friend is a dictionary, teaching us what to do next, and always warning us, "Don't be arrogant when you win. Don’t be discouraged by defeat.”

Friends are people we can talk to, rely on, and seek help from. We should cherish all the friends around us. They are not only a role, they are also our mentors and helpful friends.

In these fifty-eight essays, we can see that each has its own profound significance, and Francis Bacon once said: "Reading is enough for pleasure, enough for color, and enough for talent." A scholar who is eager to learn and think deeply is often a person with great talents and literary talents. Bacon is just such a person. His essays show his literary talent, his personality, and his arguments.

You can’t be too busy on weekdays. When someone pulls you out, you have to make up for your homework. This will hinder your energy. Let’s just say no more for the sake of practicing piano. If you are not nervous, it is not advisable to be too busy; you would rather take some time to think quietly by yourself... Don't be too sentimental, sorry. If you make it a habit not to go out with others during working hours, you won't offend others. Life's energy is limited...(p39)

14....Art is your lifelong career. Art itself is already exciting. You must not be overly nervous when practicing piano. Life is limited, and energy is also limited. We must take a long-term view and run a marathon. You are an emotionally impulsive person, so you should restrain yourself more. (p42)

15. ...Suppress emotions more, focus more on skills, and use reason more. I believe that fatigue will be reduced. (p42) [This is what Mr. Fu Lei instructs Fu Cong to pay attention to when practicing piano and how to reduce practicing fatigue]

If you don’t use enough effort; you will never get good results if you don’t suffer enough! (p43)

16. Anyone who practices skills all day long is an art craftsman rather than an artist. If a person cannot escape this level, he will never dream of art in his life! Art is the goal, and skill is the means; those who always only pay attention to the means must forget its purpose. (p47)

17. Don’t force yourself when you are already tired. Keeping a little more energy will still be an advantage in the long run. (p54)

18. The size and level of our achievements are beyond our control. Half of them depend on manpower and half of them depend on talent. But as long as you are strong, you are not afraid of failure, setbacks, or blows - no matter what It's a blow in terms of personnel, life, technology, and study; from now on, you can fight alone. (p56)

19. The greatness of motherhood lies not in reason, but in that kind of intuitive emotion... (p60)

Thinking about the difficulties in the past will make you encounter difficulties in the future. When you have the courage to overcome, you will not lose confidence! Life is an endless marathon race without end...(p61)

...Young people tend to overestimate their own strength. (p61)

...Today, you have passed this point of pride and complacency, but I have always been a disciple of Chinese Confucianism. When encountering extreme events, you must have the feeling of "being in an abyss" , "walking on thin ice", a feeling of extra solemnity, danger, and alertness. (p61)

...In fact, perfection does not exist at all. The whole life, food street, and universe cannot be talked about. To be is to exist in the ideals of philosophers and the ideals of statesmen. Our lifelong pursuit, and the pursuit of many generations of people throughout history, is nothing more than perfection, but it can never be pursued, because human ideals and fantasies are always endless, so perfection is like the moon in the water or the flower in the mirror, which is always within reach. And out of reach. But being able to achieve overall "completeness" or comparative "completeness" at a certain stage is pretty good. (p62)

Fu Lei’s family letters reading notes

The version I read is the latest, which contains Fu Cong’s emails to his parents. By comparison, the Fu Lei and his wife’s family letters are more Learn how they mentor their children.

The true feelings of Fu Lei and his wife can be seen in the letters. As soon as the train started moving, everyone burst into tears and stood blankly upright on the platform. They waited until the long train had all left the station before turning around. I have also encountered this scene. When I returned to Shanghai from Tianjin, my parents gave it to me. They could not hear my words through the glass window. I sent a short message on my mobile phone. Mom and Dad, please take care. I will be obedient and take care of myself. of. Both my parents cried. Fu Lei and his son have a father-son relationship as well as friends.

My son has become a friend. Nothing in the world can compare with this kind of happiness! Although there will be less and more separation between you and me in the future, at least my spirit will be warm and not lonely. This is rare. Many families are still full of "hegemony" among parents. They blindly give orders to their children and communicate less. The world outside is exciting and changing very quickly. A few days ago, I went to work with my uncle on the computer. I felt that my cousin already knew a lot. Not only did the English books contain a lot of vocabulary that I had not seen at that time, but the conversation revealed a very adult feel. The boy who sells computers also said that many parents who do not know computer technology themselves will buy tens of thousands of computers, thinking that the more advanced they are, the better. In fact, their children use them as game consoles and online chat tools. While Fu Cong was studying abroad, Mr. Fu Lei also continuously followed the progress of art and gave his son timely guidance and encouragement at all times. From your recording, I clearly feel that everything about you is much more mature, especially what I have been looking forward to for so many years - your will has finally raised its head. I'm so happy, I value this more than anything else. If you can master the entire piece of music, you will gain a deeper understanding of art, your artistic soul will become stronger and broader, and your entire personality and mind will expand. ...I'm so proud of you. Today is New Year's Eve, and I feel indescribable joy when I think of you studying and working hard from afar. Farewell child, I hug you in my heart!

Emotions are a major issue faced by people, especially young people. Mr. Fu Lei also spent a lot of time instructing Fu Cong when he was studying abroad. It was not the dogmatic tone and attitude of parents, but It is a calm tone and his own examples to induce his son. You are still young and are about to go abroad; your vision, hobbies, and interests are still going through many changes; even if all conditions are perfect, there is no guarantee that the views of both parties will not change in three or four years, and thus there is no guarantee that both parties will be happy. The feelings remain unchanged. I went abroad when I was 20 years old, and I was engaged to your mother around the time I went abroad. However, during the four years I went abroad, my opinion of her changed again and again, and I was severely shaken. This practical example can be used as a reference for you, so that you can be more cautious and less painful than me - especially for your study and your artistic future! Another point I can tell you is that at any time in my life, when I was most passionately in love, I never forgot my loyalty to knowledge. Knowledge first, art first, truth first, love second. ...An artist must be able to sublimate his own feelings in order to be beneficial to others. "

I am also in love, so I am particularly sensitive to love passages. It is also a good guide for myself. Sometimes I find that Fu Lei's words seem to be speaking to me, very kind and kind. Useful. As for the past emotional disputes that bother you all the time, it’s because you didn’t dig up the roots carefully. I believe you are not a love supremacist; you are a truth supremacist. Then you should use this stance. Analyze your partner (whether it is your first love or your subsequent love). Are you and her (no matter who it is) consistent or similar in terms of ideological understanding and persistence in truth? Analyze things clearly from this perspective. Many worries. It will be solved naturally. You should also think that passion is a beautiful spark, but it cannot last forever. It is simply foolish to just be persistent without considering temperament, morality, character, thoughts, etc. I had a wonderful dream back then, and I hope that this dream will become a reality in the future. Then I warn you that you may encounter tragedy! There are very few passionate lovers in the world who can become happy and grow old together;

I have read this passage many times, and I feel it is very true every time. Love is not always full of heartbeat, passion, lingering, and romance. Most of the time, it is life that is peaceful. It will last forever, let us grow old slowly, and we can read the newspaper and drink tea together in the rocking chair. That is true love.

Mr. Fu Cong, a world-class pianist with a chic demeanor, has been famous in the music world for many years. , famous at home and abroad, his performance conquered audiences all over the world, and he was known as the "Piano Poet". He was the first New Chinese musician to win the grand prize in a major international piano competition, winning great honors for the Chinese people. . His elegant behavior is not unrelated to Fu Lei's tutor.

When eating at home, children are required to eat in silence, not to talk casually, not to make any noise when chewing food, not to spill soup on the dining table, and to remember to put the dining stool under the dining table after meals; when all household items are used up Finally, you must put them back in a disciplined manner, especially books, do not put them around randomly; be polite to others, especially teachers or the elderly, have a humble attitude when speaking, put your hands vertically beside your body, and stand up straight, that is, Or if you insist on the truth, you must also pay attention to the way, attitude, tone, tone, etc. of speaking.

You will have a certain understanding of a person from his conversation and behavior. Who would like to associate with a person who is unkempt and sloppy? On the other hand, people who behave politely and understand etiquette are welcomed by everyone. For this reason, every parent puts forward many rules for life when their children are young. There are not as many red tapes as there were a few hundred years ago, but people still have to follow the most basic etiquette. Be a lady, Be a gentlman!

This is a good book, worthy of reading by me and everyone. Although there are not many people practicing piano, the principles of educating children are universally accepted. It is a pleasure to have beautiful words that you can copy down to practice your own calligraphy.
