My liking for Su Dongpo originated from an Internet incident. At that time, there was a netizen with outstanding literary talents who particularly praised Dongpo layman. His signature was also his "Bamboo stick and mango shoes beat the horse lightly, and I can live my whole life in the misty rain."
Later, because of the delicious food, I liked Su Dongpo’s delicious recipes. It wasn't until I read Mr. Lin Yutang's "The Biography of Su Dongpo" that I realized that Su Dongpo had so many stories.
Su Dongpo was influenced by the family atmosphere when he was young. He inherited the open-mindedness of his grandfather's character, the simplicity of his father's writing style and the righteousness of his mother's teachings.
You can distinguish right from wrong at a young age and establish a correct outlook on life.

After his sister often faced domestic violence and passed away suddenly, his father did not hesitate to fight against the in-laws who were disparate in power, but also wanted to seek justice for his daughter. Su Dongpo saw all this. In his eyes and in his heart, he developed the excellent qualities of not being afraid of rape and hating evil as much as hatred.
Under the influence of such family tradition, Su Dongpo's knowledge increased and his horizons broadened. Later, he and his father and brothers passed the Jinshi examination, and his articles were praised by Ouyang Xiu, one of the "Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties".
A good family atmosphere plays a vital role in the growth of children.
Su Dongpo’s grandfather was charitable, his father was knowledgeable, his mother was loyal, and the brothers worked together. Such a harmonious and simple family tradition allowed Su Dongpo to develop excellent qualities.
We adults must also lead by example and set a role model for our children. Persistence in reading and taking notes can also subtly cultivate good habits of reading and writing in children.
Su Dongpo's character not only won him a good reputation, but it was also one of the reasons for his bumpy career.
The influence of the original family is one aspect, and personal growth is another aspect.
Everyone cannot choose what kind of environment and family they are born into, but we can be responsible for our own lives.

Su Dongpo's "I can accompany the Jade Emperor, and I can accompany the beggars in Beitian Court. I see that there is no bad person in the world."
Being frank is a typical image of the young Su Dongpo. He has always been frank in speaking, writing and interpersonal communication, without hiding anything. However, we all understand the truth that being too frank means exposing one's own weaknesses to the enemy. before.
Therefore, Su Dongpo suffered a lot. Fortunately, his wife Wang Fu took care of him, so Su Dongpo's life was quite comfortable during the days they lived together. However, with the early death of his wife, his life of ups and downs began.
Compared with Su Dongpo who was unyielding and spoke his mind freely, his younger brother Su Che was more inclined to protect himself wisely and wait for the time to arise.
When living in troubled times, it is a wise choice to stay safe and wait for the right time. However, if all people with lofty ideals choose to preserve themselves, then where will the hope of the entire society and the entire nation be pinned?
Therefore, at any time, a person or a group of people will come forward and say "no" to unfairness and injustice. That's why we see people displaced, children homeless, and Su Dongpo, who had been exiled repeatedly, still chose to speak to the court without hesitation.
Being able to solve the problems of the people was what he really thought at that moment. Even though he was demoted and demoted again, and fell into difficult situations again and again, Su Dongpo never left the people in his eyes, and the people's sufferings were always his. care.

In his later years, Su Dongpo faced the grief of his relatives passing away before him. Even if he was demoted to a desolate place, he could find ways to benefit the people, but His opponents don't want him to live a happy life, but fortunately there is always a turning point at the end of life.
When his opponent faced the same fate, Su Dongpo did not add insult to injury as he did, but wrote a letter to comfort him. This is also the reason why Su Dongpo is liked by the public, regardless of past grudges and magnanimous.
We live in a harmonious and stable social environment, which is our happiness. However, in the face of work and life, it is impossible to encounter smooth sailing every time. The choice you make depends on the specific situation.
