My child, I have teased you, and I will always be sorry for you. I can never atone! These thoughts have never left my mind all day, but I dare not tell your mother that if you do something wrong in your life, your conscience will never be at peace! Really, Balzac said it well: some sins can only be redeemed and cannot be washed away! "
These letters began in 1954 when Fu Cong left home to study in Poland, and ended in 1966 when Fu Lei and his wife committed suicide. Hundreds of letters in 12 years run through Fu Cong's growing experience from studying abroad and having a good time to getting married and having children, and also reflect Fu Lei's translation work, friends' communication and the ups and downs of Fu Lei's family fate.
Extended data:
Fu Lei's letter was lost in the "Cultural Revolution", when all the possessions of the Fu family were copied, and his letter was not spared. One day more than ten years later, the Shanghai Conservatory of Music discovered some of Fu Lei's relics, including an exercise book wrapped in black paper, called "Excerpts from Conger's Letters".
1986, Fu Cong resolutely refused to publish these letters after learning about it, because he felt that his thoughts and words were too immature to compare with his father when he was young.
Therefore, the previous version of "Letters from Fu Lei" is often just a monologue of Fu Lei. We can only imagine or guess how Fu Cong responded to his father, which is a great pity. ?
In the letter from home, you can see Fu Lei, who is usually very strict in educating children, expressing his deep love for his son: "The day after you left, you wanted to write a letter, for fear that you would be annoyed, that's all." But not a day goes by without thinking about you. "
(1954) "You came back and left; Many new jobs, new busyness and new changes are waiting for you, and you won't feel lonely; However, we calmed down and slowly returned to our monotonous life. Compared with the party and excitement in the past, it is inevitably empty. "
(1956) "My son has made friends. What else in the world can compare with this happiness! Although you and I will get together less and less in the future, I am at least warm in spirit and not lonely. "
