After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the words "artist Mei Lanfang sells paintings" appeared in an advertisement of a Shanghai tabloid. Obviously, someone is making money in the name of Mei Lanfang. Mei Lanfang's friends are very angry at this bad behavior and are going to that tabloid to find out the impostor and teach him a good lesson.
Mei Lanfang dissuaded them. He told his friends that it is true that the impostor wants to make money, but he must have the ability to make money by selling paintings. He may be a scholar, but his fate is terrible.
My friend learned about the origin of the impostor from the side, as expected by Mei Lanfang. Coincidentally, Picasso, a famous Spanish painter, also has such a broad mind.
Picasso turned a blind eye to fake paintings pretending to be his works, never pursued them, and only removed forged signatures at most. Someone inexplicably asked him why he did it. Picasso said, "People who make fake paintings are either poor painters or old friends. I'm Spanish, so I can't embarrass my old friends. Friends of poor painters have a hard time. Besides, those experts who identify the original work also have to eat. Those fake paintings made many people suffer, but I didn't suffer. Why should I pursue them? "
Mei Lanfang and Picasso were both great and clever, and it was their understanding that kept many people alive. Their understanding and tolerance of others has not lost anything, but people respect them more. Why not?
The most valuable thing between people is to stand in each other's perspective and put yourself in each other's shoes. Understanding is great. It narrows the distance between hearts, enhances the feelings between people, enhances friendship and avoids unnecessary disputes.
Understanding is a comfortable bridge. Only by understanding others can we get their understanding. Understanding not only brings happiness to others, but also frees yourself from troubles, which is beneficial to people and self-interest.
