What is printed in this collection is not an ordinary family letter. Fu Lei said this in his letter to Fu Cong: "Writing a lengthy letter to you is not empty chatter or inexplicable gossip, but it has several functions.
First, I do regard you as an opponent when discussing art and music; secondly, I really want to stimulate some of your young people's feelings, so that I, as a father, can get some fresh nourishment, and at the same time, it can also be indirectly passed on to other young people; thirdly, I really want to stimulate some of your young people's feelings. Third, use correspondence to train you - not only your writing, but especially your thoughts; fourth, I want to be a wake-up call for you at all times and everywhere, and be a 'faithful mirror', no matter in terms of life or in life. In terms of details of life, in terms of artistic accomplishment, and in terms of performance posture."
The sentiment that runs through all the family letters is to let the son know the honor and disgrace of the country and the dignity of art, and be able to treat everything with a strict attitude and be a " An artist with both moral and artistic skills and outstanding personality."
Extended information:
Mr. Fu Lei is engaged in translation work. He has translated Balzac's "Eugénie Grandet". Nathan's "Philosophy of Art" and so on. In addition to this profession, he is also a famous educator and art critic. Moreover, what is more noble is not his profession, but his character and quality: Mr. Fu Lei is magnanimous and has a resolute temperament.
When he was persecuted at the beginning of the "Cultural Revolution" and suffered various forms of humiliation, Mr. Fu Lei survived with his strong will. Moreover, it is these noble qualities of Mr. Fu Lei that make his two sons, Fu Cong and Fu Min, stand out. They are not only versatile, but also possess the same noble character as Mr. Fu Lei, who is patriotic and caring for the people, rigorous in scholarship, and honest in practice.
"True light is never a time of darkness, but it is never obscured by darkness. A real hero never has despicable sentiments, but is never impressed by despicable sentiments." This It is Mr. Fu Lei who encourages us in terms of personality, and his nobility of personality is revealed between the lines.
For example, his view on "eight-legged essay": it makes people lazy in thinking, feeling paralyzed, and not serious and responsible when things happen. Mr. Fu Lei not only has profound attainments in literature, but also in art and life. Mr. Fu Lei once said: "Be a human first, then be an artist, then be a musician, and finally be a pianist." Once again, the portrayal of personality is completely lacking. The concealment is revealed.
In life, Mr. Fu Lei is also a "wolf dad". When Fu Cong was a child, he didn't like to eat vegetables and only chose meat. He didn't listen to Mr. Fu Lei's warning, so he was punished to only eat white rice and was not allowed to eat. vegetable. This kind of father's love is set off by severity. This is a different form of father's love from Chang Yu. It shows that father's love is deep and great.
A "Fu Lei Family Letter" not only reflects Mr. Fu Lei's teachings to his two sons, but also reflects the correct way parents educate their children: grades are not the first priority, but personality should be. The most important thing is that only with good character can a person's cultural quality be improved.
Only can a person achieve better results, understand what gratitude is and how to be grateful, feel the world with a grateful heart like the great physicist Hawking, and discover It turns out that the traces of love are left everywhere in the world.
I always believe that Mr. Fu Lei's "family wealth cannot last more than three generations." I often learn from Mr. Fu Lei's noble qualities of patriotism, love for the people, and integrity. I always hope that Mr. Fu Lei's words can bring us a different kind of life! Pay tribute to Mr. Fu Lei!
