1. Cherishing friendship and loving common cause are the fundamental ideological motivation for bridging contradictions.

Marx and Engels are comrades-in-arms who have forged profound friendship for the proletarian revolutionary cause, and they are by no means companions who struggle together for temporary passion and vulgar interests;

Moreover, their friendship has withstood the test of long and complicated revolutionary struggle, has a solid class foundation, and has a common ideal and the premise of a great cause.

Therefore, after the emotional rift caused by unfortunate experiences, they can still wake up quickly, rationally state the reasons, review their mistakes and faults, repair the rift in time and bridge the contradictions based on their careers and friendship.

Therefore, Engels said in the letter of 654381October 26th: "I'm glad I didn't lose my oldest and best friend at the same time." .

In the letters of 65438+ 10 and 18, Marx said, "In recent weeks, I have suffered all the depression, but nothing makes me feel heavier than worrying about the cracks in our friendship." .

2. Treating each other with sincerity is an important principle to coordinate relations and bridge contradictions.

In the great grief after the death of his beloved wife, Engels received a "cold" letter from Marx. After five days of calm thinking, he resolutely criticized and accused Marx. This is objective, frank and understandable.

Marx was criticized by Engels. After deep thought and remorse, he sincerely admitted that "writing that letter was a big mistake, and I regretted it as soon as it was sent."

He also described Engels' recent unfortunate experience and painful feelings in detail, explaining that "when I wrote to you at night, I was in a state of complete despair" and "by no means out of ruthlessness".

This is also objective and frank, without any hypocrisy or cover-up. So I can get the understanding and forgiveness of the other party soon, and my deep feelings finally return to normal.

3. Active communication and dredging are important ways to bridge contradictions and enhance friendship.

The repair and bridging of the emotional rift between men and women is the result of their mutual exchange of ideas and resolution of contradictions by virtue of their lofty aspirations, common interests, broad mind, sincere attitude and active counseling.

In the 40 days before and after, Engels spared no effort to care for and help Marx in economy and life. He gave up his job, risked being accused of a crime, and tried his best to help Marx. Even Engels wanted to buy the stamps Marx needed to send his manuscript.

Facing Marx's cold attitude after his wife's death, Engels restrained his dissatisfaction and took great risks to "get 100" and send it to Marx. What deep concern! What a majestic bearing!

After realizing his "great mistake", Marx also gave Engels meticulous care. In successive letters, he comforted Engels in a relaxed and teasing tone.

"If you have a knot in one's heart, just say it like a man. You have to believe that no one in the world really cares about your worries and sorrows, except your Moore (Engels' banter with Marx). "

In the letter to Engels on October 28th, 65438/KLOC-0, Marx even talked about the difference between tools and machines, not to discuss academic issues, but to divert Engels' attention and make you forget your painful experience. .

4. Have great revolutionary friendship and broad mind.

In short, they supported each other at work and cared for each other in life, forged unbreakable brotherhood, jointly founded great Marxism and made outstanding contributions to the world proletarian revolution.

In the emotional twists and turns of the two great men, Marx showed the sincerity, frankness and remorse of the great men, while Engels showed the magnanimity and self-sacrifice of the great men. ?

The great man's broad mind has created the success of the great revolutionary cause and the brilliance of theoretical achievements, and it has also become a valuable spiritual wealth that we should inherit and carry forward in strengthening the construction of socialist spiritual civilization and ideological and political work today.

Extended data:

The first cold meeting between Marx and Engels.

Marx joined young hegelians because he met the Powell brothers in college. They often hold a doctor's club in a pub in Berlin to debate philosophical theory and Prussian reality.

Marx was quickly recognized by everyone because of his extraordinary intelligence, profound knowledge and eloquence. Engels was also familiar with the Powell brothers. During his military service in Berlin from 184 1 to 1842, he often participated in young hegelians's activities, but hardly participated in discussions.

Unfortunately, Marx and Engels never met at a party. But Engels learned the name of Marx from his friends Edgar Powell and Moses Hess. Because Hess spoke highly of Marx, he hoped to get to know him.

1842 At the end of September, Engels finished his military service. Two months after he went home to see his parents, his father sent him to Manchester on business, and Engels visited Marx via Cologne. However, in these two months, young hegelians in Berlin has been severely divided.

Bruno Powell founded an academic organization called "Free Man", which paid no attention to real life and did not investigate people's actual living conditions, but was obsessed with abstract philosophical arguments all day.

18421June15th, the sales volume of Rheinische Zeitung surged, and Marx was promoted to editor-in-chief. From then on, the struggle against "free men" began, and their manuscripts were rejected, which led to the complete breakdown of the relationship between Marx and Powell brothers.

Although Engels often corresponded with the Powell brothers, he was not very clear about the dispute between Marx and "freemen" about the use of the manuscript of Rheinische Zeitung. When Engels went into the editorial department to meet Marx, he obviously mentioned the Powell brothers in order to find a topic of in-depth communication.

Previously, Marx was very strange to Engels, a self-taught student. Engels had no formal study experience at the University of Berlin, and most of his doctoral students at the University of Berlin met Marx. Engels also used the pseudonym "Oswald" in his articles and pamphlets about Schelling.

Therefore, due to the Powell brothers and the "free men", Marx had no affection for Engels, but showed impatience in dealing with a few things.

Engels later said that this was a "very cold first meeting". In view of Powell's fierce criticism of religious theology, Engels even expressed doubts about Marx's views. In this way, the first meeting between Marx and Engels was obviously unsuccessful.
