You must have seen this sentence in many places: "Don't be confused in your heart, don't be trapped in emotions. Don't be afraid of the future, don't dwell on the past." You may not necessarily know where it comes from;

< p>You must have seen a cartoon full of childishness, a few strokes, and the charm of traditional Chinese painting. You feel friendly and warm, but you don’t know who the painting technician is;

You must have learned it in primary school textbooks There is a text "White Goose". I may not remember who the author is, but the image of the white goose singing with its neck always flashes in my mind.

In fact, these were all written by one person - Feng Zikai. He was an enlightener of the New Culture Movement, a thoughtful calligrapher, a painter, a writer, and an art educator.

Among Mr. Feng Zikai’s works, comics are the most famous. Often, a few strokes can outline an artistic conception, such as "After the people leave, the crescent moon and sky are like water", a few teacups and a rolling curtain cage, it is a very mood.

Many of Mr. Feng’s cartoons are based on children, such as "Abao Shirtless", "You Peel a Melon for Me, I'll Fan You", "Meeting" and "My Son". Reading Mr. Feng's children's comics, my heart is filled with indifference, childishness, innocence and Chicheng. Sometimes I start to reflect on myself while reading. When will our world be less deceitful, more persistent and more natural? , be more indifferent.

Someone once quoted a Westerner’s words about Wagner’s evaluation of his teacher: “Apollo held literary talents in his right hand and musical talents in his left hand, and distributed them to the writers and musicians in the world. But Wagner received the gifts from both hands. "Things." - This word is no exaggeration when applied to Feng Zikai's dedication.

In Mr. Feng Zikai’s case, he holds painting talent in his right hand and literary talent in his left hand. In the vicissitudes of decades, it has maintained a consistent style: graceful, tranquil, dilute and peaceful, which has had a huge impact on the history of new Chinese literature. As early as the 1920s, he published works such as "Introduction to Art", "Introduction to Music", "A Tour of Western Famous Paintings", "Collected Works of Feng Zikai", and "Collected Works of Feng Zikai". He published more than 180 books in his lifetime.

Following "Life is Simple", this book "Cherish This Life" reproduces the heart-warming advice of a generation of literary master Feng Zikai to the world: Life is full of seas, work hard to love yourself, and cherish it more!

He spoke eloquently, like a whisper, using a plain and open-minded meaning, and leisurely spoke of his gentleness that was incompetent with others, his open-mindedness of loving everything, and his gentle life in the world.

Yu Pingbo commented on Feng Zikai: "Every fallen hero contains the sentiment of the human world." The words containing the sentiment of the human world probably come from the tender environment in which he grew up.

On November 9, 1898, Feng Zikai was born in Chongde County, Zhejiang Province. Because he is the only boy among his peers, he has been surrounded by tenderness since he was a child, which makes him always look at things with a gentle and compassionate heart. When it spreads in his writing, it becomes plain words and innocence. Painting style.

In 1914, Feng Zikai was admitted to the Zhejiang Provincial First Normal School. In this school, Feng Zikai met two teachers who had a great influence on his life-Li Shutong and Xia Chuzun.

The former not only gave him inspiration in music and art, but also set an example for him in how to behave in the world;

The latter advocated the use of lively vernacular and truthful expression of oneself The idea of ??true feelings has always been regarded as a guideline by him and has become the most amiable and endearing feature in his subsequent prose creations.

In these two teachers with whom he had a deep friendship, Feng Zikai found three things that would accompany him throughout his life - literature, painting and music. All of these can be found in "This Life Is So Precious".

In "Ananda", he realized from Ananda's short life that his life had a precious and eternal side. "In the catastrophe, life was just a jump. In your jump, I got a glimpse of all life. Ananda! Our love is not indifferent. You are me and I am you: it doesn't matter to you or me."

He will have the greatest tenderness for the newly born child, see the beating of his chest, understand that Ananda has spent a short life, have a glimpse of himself, merge the two into one, and understand all phenomena in the world. , are all manifestations of the great life of the universe.

In "The Pregnancy of Mr. Li Shutong", he said that Master Hongyi changed from a handsome young master to an overseas student, then to a teacher, third to a Taoist, and fourth to a monk. Every kind of person is done very decently. It's like an all-powerful actor: he looks like Qingyi when he's in Qingyi, he looks like Laosheng when he plays Laosheng, and he looks like Damian when he plays Damian... all because of his "seriousness". Mr. Feng Zikai's achievements probably come from the word "seriousness".

In Mr. Feng Zikai’s words, we follow him to relive the old years: the loss of his father when he was young, the hardships of studying and painting, the friendship with Li Shutong and Xia Chengzun, the joy and pain of raising a family and raising children, After the Japanese invasion, they had to flee the hardships of the war...

The thin curtain covering the eyes was lifted - living in this world is never easy.

Every generation has its own difficulties that every generation must face, and it is always easy to just follow the crowd. The difficult thing is that building one's own beauty on things that are constantly being destroyed, even if it is small, represents the will of man that cannot be destroyed.

He said to Abao in "Send Abao out of the Golden Age": "My children, I look forward to your life more than once a day! I want to say it aggrievedly to let you know . It’s a pity that by the time you understand my words, you will no longer be someone I can look forward to. This is such a sad thing."

In the article "Being a Father". The hawker who carried the burden planned to teach the children that next time "Don't say yes to something good you see, and don't say yes to something you want", but he did not stop saying: In this innocent and upright spring scene, to the Where can I find a father who teaches his children in this way?

We don’t want to suppress the children’s nature, and we don’t want the smoke and dust of the world to infect the children’s clear hearts. He hopes to preserve the sincerity of his children, but he also knows that the children will eventually "understand what adults say", and at that moment, the children have grown up, how sad it is.

But he was not disappointed because of this. Since there was nowhere to escape, it was better to be happy; since there was no pure land, it was better to meditate; In this way, his words are like a big hand made of soft lake water, which can gently soothe the restless hearts of this era. With a suddenly open heart, he led us to listen to the pulse of the deep world...

Mr. Feng Zikai said: "Live your life without being pampered or frightened." The best attitude towards life is also That's probably the case. It's not about trying to squeeze out the value of every minute, it's not about making great progress just to make achievements, and it's not about looking forward and looking back with fear for the rest of your life. It's about cherishing it simply, calmly and indifferently:

Cherish Self, cherish the present moment, cherish living itself.

Misfortunes and blessings are impermanent, as is honor and disgrace.

It can not only survive the ups and downs of honor and disgrace;

It can also live comfortably in the ordinary and simple.

Only then can we truly live a life without being flattered.
