Now that I have grown up, the taste of reading has changed. I like to read concise articles such as Wang Zengqi and Feng Zikai.
Recently, I read Feng Zikai's prose collection "The years are getting late, and the feasts are waiting for people to return". I have to sigh that Feng Zikai is a great writer.
His articles are incomplete, but there is a kind of truth that makes people smile, from small to large, and exquisite; Another example is a cloud floating in the air, soft, "like a falling English, meaning the feelings of the world", full of endless beauty.
Feng Zikai's love and understanding of children in the book impressed me the most. Today we will talk about the children in Mr. Feng Zikai's eyes!
Of all the writers in China, no one knows children better than Feng Zikai. Children are as indispensable to Feng Zikai as food is to Wang Zengqi.
I often hear this sentence: "If only I could be as innocent and lovely as a child and be carefree all my life." In their view, children's world doesn't have so many twists and turns, just be happy.
Children are naive only because they see things differently from adults.
One night, Feng Zikai drank three glasses of old wine. He didn't want to sleep or read, so he grabbed four-year-old Hua Zhan on his lap and played with him.
Feng Zikai asked Hua Zhan, "What is your favorite thing?"
I thought China Expo answered to play with toys or eat delicious food, but I didn't think about China Expo and answered, "Run!" " "
This confuses Feng Zikai. China Exhibition is so small that he naturally doesn't understand the meaning of fleeing. How could he choose this word? If you knew, you wouldn't choose.
Feng Zikai tentatively inquired: "Do you know what escape is?"
"It's just dad, mom, sister Bao, Ruan ... Niang, everyone takes the bus and goes to see the big ship!"
It turns out that Hua Zhan understands escape as tourism! Who doesn't like traveling?
Rodin has a famous saying: "Looking at the problem from another angle, life will present another kind of beauty. Life is not a lack of beauty, but a lack of discovery. "
Many things, from another angle, will feel different beauty. The reason why children's world is so pure is that they look at things from different angles. They don't think twice about things like adults, and they have so many twists and turns in their hearts.
Many times, if you want to be happy, don't think too much, just do what you want and live every day. Look at things from another angle and try to see hope from tragedy!
No child can be innocent and lovely forever, but there will never be a shortage of innocent and lovely children!
Everyone, no matter what they look like when they grow up, is innocent and lovely when they are young, but why are they not so happy when they grow up? Why do you have to grow up?
I remember when I was in primary school, it was popular to keep small animals in a class. What I look forward to most every day is to go to the canteen near the school after school, buy a little turtle, take it home to play, and take it to school and show off with friends the next day.
Children's love for small animals is innate, and there is nothing like cute animals, even Feng Zikai's children are not immune.
In the article "Being a Father", Feng Zikai is reading at home and several children are playing on the ground. Suddenly, I saw a chicken vendor passing by the door, and several children rushed over and scrambled for chicken.
Feng Zikai himself has no interest in raising chickens, and he has a headache at the thought of all the troubles that follow. But unable to bear the child's pleading, he asked the price of chicken.
Seeing the child's eyes and Feng Zikai's attitude, the stall owner knew that the order was stable and said firmly, "One foreign currency is four."
Feng Zikai bargained tactfully: "Can you make it cheaper? This chicken is so small, can it be six cents for four? "
The peddler ignored Feng Zikai, picked up the burden and left.
The children looked at the figure of the stall owner affectionately and pulled Feng Zikai's skirt sadly: "I want to buy, I want to buy."
Feng Zikai could not bear the children's demands and raised the price: "Let's sell one for twenty cents!" "
The peddler said without looking back, "There is no counter-offer!" Then disappeared into the corner of the alley, leaving only Feng Zikai at a loss and pear flowers crying with rain!
At this time, the eldest sister-in-law across the hall came out to comfort the child and said, "Don't cry, he will be back soon, and I will call you then." Turning his head to Feng Zikai, he explained: "The chicken seller wants to do a good job, the more he watches the children crying to buy, the more he refuses to bargain."
This is the hawker's routine!
After returning home, Feng Zikai saw that the children were still wiping their tears, and could not help but teach: "If you all say you want to buy it, that person will not bargain."
The younger child didn't understand what this meant and continued to sniffle. The older children were thoughtful when they heard this.
Feng Zikai did not say anything further. If he says anything more, he can only say, "If you see a good mouth, you should say it is not good, but if you want it, you should sayno."
This is growth, and there is no room for honesty in the adult world.
Because of this, people should grow up. If you are sincere to others, others will only think you are stupid!
People should learn to grow up. We should gradually become more and more mature, know what to endure and what not to endure, and begin to understand those so-called worldly wisdom.
As the movie "Jin Yuji on the Cliff" said: "Growing up is the right of every child, and it is also the journey they must go through, whether it is flat or rugged, there are joys and sorrows, and there are also clutches."
It's silly to think that you are still a child and expect to grow up. Now I finally grow up, but I can't be as happy as before.
Feng Zikai has a total of seven children, all of whom are excellent.
Feng Huazhan, the eldest son, is a famous writer and outstanding translator in China. English-Chinese Dictionary and Grimm's Fairy Tales are his representative works.
The second son, Feng, participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and worked in Beijing People's Music Publishing House. Sanzi Fengxin, proficient in many languages, is engaged in overseas patent representative work.
The eldest daughter, Feng Chenbao, has a high literary attainments, and her language talent is not lost to her younger brother, Feng. She wrote many books about Feng Zikai. The second daughter Feng Yuanyin became a respected people's teacher.
The youngest daughter, Feng Yiyin, is versatile and has profound attainments in literature, painting and calligraphy. She is the only child who has inherited Feng Zikai's mantle.
Nowadays, parents put all their money and energy into a child's education, but they still can't make the child succeed.
How did Feng Zikai make all seven children become talents?
Feng Zikai's seven children commented on their father in an interview:
"The most precious wealth that my father left us is not his paintings and calligraphy, but the attitude that my father taught us to be human."
In the article "Candle Oil", we can get a glimpse of Feng Zikai's way of educating children.
In the evening, Hua Zhan was reading with his younger brother. Before I knew it, it was eleven o'clock, but the two children were still not sleepy.
Hua Zhan brought foreign candles and played with his brother. He plans to use foreign candles to make foreign babies.
The sound of two children looking for tools and candles alarmed their father, Feng Zikai.
Feng Zikai came in with a flashlight and asked, "What are you doing in the middle of the night?"
The younger brother took out the pinched foreign darling and said happily, "Dad, I can shape. Do you think I can shape it? "
Feng Zikai looked at the foreign girl carefully and praised: "Well done." Then I began to tell the children the story of Rodin, a great sculptor.
The passionate conversation woke up the mother-in-law next door. My mother-in-law shouted angrily, "I don't sleep in the middle of the night." Your father is as knowledgeable as you, and he doesn't know to urge you to sleep. "
Hearing this, Feng Zikai spat out his tongue at the children and left with a flashlight. The children put the white jade statue on the pillow and fell asleep.
Behind an excellent child, there is an understanding elder.
If my dad sees me staying up late at night to do these things, he will definitely swear and urge me to sleep, and he won't care what I do.
Writing here, I remembered that when I was a child, I liked painting very much. When I am free, I draw pictures. My parents will praise me when I first read it. The more they praise me, the happier I am, and the more serious I paint.
At that time, I probably wanted their praise more than painting beautiful pictures.
But one day, my mother saw that I had been painting and said discontentedly, "Why do you always paint?" Do something else! " "Since then, I have never painted a picture.
Now I have lost interest in painting, but my mother's words and scenes have been hidden in my heart.
I believe my story is definitely not a case. How many children's talents have been obliterated by their parents' frivolous words and impatient eyes?
Loving children is not to give them a home, but to provide nutrition for their life journey. Educate children step by step, starting with hobbies.
Not every child can be admitted to Tsinghua Peking University if he studies well; Not every child is a great writer and can write good articles.
Finding what you like, loving it and sticking to it become a comfort to ordinary life, which is also excellent!
Reading Mr. Feng Zikai's article is like listening to an old man with abnormal heart and frankness without reservation or scruple.
