Mr Qian Liqun gave an appropriate explanation of the symbolic meaning of the dead fire. He recalled what his tutor, Mr Yao Yao, said to him: "I am over seventy years old. If I do nothing, it is' doing nothing'; If I continue to work hard and put it mildly, I will exert my residual heat. In fact, it is just' dying'. " Mr. Wang added: "It is better to wait for death than to wait for death." In this way, from the perspective of philosophy of life, the symbolic meaning of "dead fire" can be solved.
Mr. Lu Xun suffered from diseases in his later years. By the second half of 1936, he knew his time was coming, but he didn't stop thinking and writing. He is still fighting for the trapped beast, which is really "dying" until the last moment of his life. Today, Mr. Wang practices the philosophy of "dead fire". The significance of the philosophy of "dead fire" lies in how we should choose life.
Liang Yuchun has two famous essays, Kissing Fire and Watching Fire. Kissing Fire is a tribute to my good friend Xu Zhimo.
In Watching Fire, he said:
Liang Yuchun's fire is full of the poet's romance, while Lu Xun's fire is saturated with the philosopher's rejection. Whether life is like a fire, or life is like a fire, or both are the same thing, fire needs to burn, and it will have a magnificent or beautiful scene. The "death" of the "dead fire" can't help but make people ecstatic.
Xu Zhimo, 193 1 35 died. A year later, 1932, Liang Yuchun died at the age of 26. Before the ink on the kiss was dry, it was someone else's turn to write an elegiac couplet for Liang Yuchun. Fei Ming's "this person had to draw a dream, because you should be a haze of evocation", which makes people feel awkward. "Dead fire" doesn't seem far away. If we start from birth, life will extend from a fixed point and get longer and longer, but if we start from death, life will shrink to an erratic point and come to an abrupt end. "For example, morning dew, going to Japan is much more bitter."
A friend said that death is an unexpected holiday. "Dead fire" is not a distant thing! What is the rest of your life?
