I have always liked Su Shi. The majestic death of Dajiangdong, the heroic attitude of holding a bow like a full moon, the love of thousands of miles and the free and easy life of Jianghai are all refreshing.
On second thought, what I like most about him is his personality. Su Shi suffered a lot in his life, especially before and after his official career. He was demoted three times, once when Wang Anshi was in power, once when Sima Guang was in power, and once when the remnants of the new party came to power. Moreover, being demoted was not his fault, which was a blow to a feudal scholar-bureaucrat. However, Su Shi was calm, never profaned his soul, and served as an official and benefited one side. Renovating the West Lake in Hangzhou, commanding Xuzhou to fight floods, helping the victims to relieve the famine, and shouting for the people. If there were also cadres' assessments in those years, Su Shi would probably often get an "excellent".
Some people regard Tao Qian, who "doesn't bend over for five buckets of rice", and Li Bai, who "Oh, how can I grovel to high officials", as a model of intellectuals, but I think he is tall enough, but he always lacks broadness and perseverance. It is chic to leave proudly, and it is great to do something practical for the people.
The main reason why Su Shi has been demoted many times is that he loves telling the truth and dares to tell it. Unfortunately, he was born in an era full of party struggles and stubbornly chose a way to speak with his conscience. The left didn't like him when he came to power, and neither did the right. So he was doomed to a rough life. In fact, he also has empty times and tired times. In his wandering years, he also left "When will this life rest, because his home is in the southwest, so he often leaves the southeast" and "When will he forget the camp?" The lonely soul can't find a home, and the broken heart is bleeding. However, Su Shi is Su Shi after all. Has he ever lowered his noble head? He has the courage to bear all this, and his tenacious soul transcends the hardships of these lives. In the bleak autumn wind, beauty dances in the wind and in the world. Su Shi, a drop in the ocean, still wears bamboo sandals and still holds the sky yellow! It is said that because of these sensational works, the paranoid authorities were very angry after reading them, so a more cruel blow came. Su Shi was forced to leave Huizhou and was exiled to a more remote and remote Hainan Island. However, an island can't imprison Su Shi's will, and he still lives with a smile. Although he said goodbye to his relatives before leaving the mainland, heaven has eyes. Three years later, he finally set foot on the mainland with a smile.
This is Su Shi, a famous Su Shi who is neither rotten nor raw nor flat. He has extraordinary self-confidence and wisdom, and he has an upright character and a brave soul. His great personality charm can transcend the boundaries of time and space, illuminate the distant future and benefit future generations.
