Zong Pu

The last days of my father (Feng Youlan) were difficult and brilliant. He escaped from the quagmire of political vortex, and he can think quite freely. 1980, he wrote a new edition of the history of China's philosophy from scratch. He was 85 years old at that time. He stays in the study every morning except for short social activities. His mind is a library, and his eyesight is so poor that people in front can't see it clearly, but the development of China's philosophy for thousands of years is very clear in his mind, which is the result of his lifelong thinking. Philosophy is the foundation of his life.

Like his father, the generation born at the end of 19, distributed in various disciplines, created a new culture in China's social transformation period. No matter which subject they are in, they all have one thing in common, that is, they love their motherland and want to make their country stand proudly among the nations of the world. My father's philosophy is not empty talk, nor is it a pioneer in research. He wants to "release the old country and help the new one", that is, to absorb the essence of Chinese culture as the nutrition for building a new country and always care about the fate of the country and the nation. This is his "trace" After many twists and turns and hardships, his original intention remains unchanged. On the last page of his last magnum opus, A New Compilation of China's Philosophical History, Zhang Zai's words are still written: "Make a heart for heaven and earth, make a life for the people, make a career for the future, and make the world peaceful." He still "can't come, but his heart yearns for it."

The last 10 year of my father's life became a book, A New Edition of China's Philosophical History. Scholars believe that this book has a better understanding of arguments and materials than the two volumes in the 1930s, and has put forward original opinions on metaphysics, Buddhism, Taoism, Cao Guofan and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. A friend came to visit and felt that the old man was very tired. Father sighed slightly: "I am really tired, but I don't feel bitter." I just can't stop. "

Yes, he doesn't think writing this book is a kind of pain. He described himself as chewing the stored forage like an old cow. He is also chewing the original knowledge reserve to create. There is a kind of fun in it. Another feature of my father's writing is that he doesn't make cards. A foreign friend once asked, "When you were in Kunming, all kinds of equipment were poor and there were few books. Where can I find the information? " Father replied, "I don't need a lot of information to write a book." Everything is in my mind. "

More importantly, his concentration, his persistence and his constant affection. In the last two years of his life, he could not walk or stand, needed help in his daily life, and even had difficulty chewing. Neither walking nor eating can stop his philosophical thinking. Once, because of a heart attack, we took him to the hospital by ambulance. Lying in his hospital bed, he said intermittently, "Now I have a disease to be treated because I haven't finished writing that book. When I finish writing, I don't need treatment. "

After my father's long illness, people always think of the word "dying". Candles are swaying in the wind and may go out at any time, but my father's spiritual fire will not go out. He is so tenacious, tenacious and rich that he will never be satisfied unless he burns himself dry. .

Parents are too responsible. They have no time to be happy. In fact, my father is in favor of Confucius' sentence "I will follow the point". Ceng Dian said that his wish was "to bathe in interpretation, to cool off in dance, and then to swim back". Father appreciates this state.

In the forties, I often asked my father to write it. My father liked to write two poems by Tang Li Ao, "Practice like a crane, a thousand pines". I asked, "The cloud is in the sky, and the water is in the bottle." There is also a song, "I chose to live in seclusion, but I didn't send it all year round." Sometimes I go straight to the top of the lonely peak and the clouds roar under the moon. "My father wrote dozens of these two poems. Father's persistence and tenacity, the powder god whose spring silkworm died, the wax torch turned to ashes and his salary was exhausted, has a very elegant and ethereal side behind him. On the one hand, it is the benefit of Confucian families "knowing what they can't do", on the other hand, it is the insight of "clouds in the sky, water in a bottle" of Buddhism and Taoism. Only with such complementarity can China intellectuals survive in an extremely harsh environment.

Many years ago, my father wrote me a sentence, a poem by Gong Dingan: "Although I became a great player in my later years, I will not be able to stand out from the crowd." Learn more about the preface, preserve its virtues, and don't put your mind into the transaction. "Later, my father wrote a poem for my husband and me:" Seven words can be used as a motto. Don't put your heart into trade just to be famous. "The movement has stopped, and silence is better than sound." Father knows that everything should be painstakingly done, and he should seriously teach the sea. Don't be complacent about a little fame. Maybe there will be better music in silence. Thinking of these often feels that my father is sitting there, pointing his hand up to the next finger. In the silence, people think of the poem "Cloud in the sky, water in a bottle". But meaning, realm, who knows.
