First, his warning is related to his personal experience.
There are seven things to leave a will before you die, mainly about telling your children, keeping the funeral simple, moving on, treating people with things and so on. It is also very important that you should never be a writer or an artist. Even if you don't have the ability in the future, it is good to find something small to live.
What his old man said is related to his personal experience. He was famous at that time, but he did a lot of things. I used to study at school, and I have a strong learning ability. I got the opportunity to study abroad. I like reading philosophy and literature at school. It also laid a solid foundation for him to become a writer!
Later, I studied medicine with a teacher and wrote a short article. Record the situation at that time. His experience in medical school left a deep impression on him. After that, he decided to give up medicine and become a writer. In order to record some things with a pen, he wanted to change everyone's minds through these things. This is also an important reason why he gave up medicine and went to literature.
He thought so and did so, and wrote a series of influential works, which were thought-provoking. He hopes to turn the pen in his hand into a sword and throw it at unjust people and things. He thinks that he can use the pen in his hand to write out some people's behaviors for everyone to see, then reflect on them, and finally achieve the goal of changing everyone's thinking.
What he did was admirable. However, in his later years, he may reflect on his behavior. As a writer, he is successful. Not only do many readers like to read his works, but many people also hope that he will continue to write good works. For him, this is a kind of pressure. Because many people want to see his masterpiece.
He can't adapt to writing for physical reasons. As long as I write, my shoulder hurts. However, he is a strong man. As long as he feels comfortable, he will keep writing. He is such a strong man, but he doesn't want his children to work so hard, so what he said above is also to let his children have a better life.
Second, there is some truth in what he said.
He said this, probably for professional reasons. Because both artists and writers must have works. He has many works, such as Dragon Boat Festival and Hometown. The appearance of these works is related to his reflection and his creative ability. You need to think more if you want to write such an excellent work.
In order to create, he often stays up late writing at his desk. If you want to be a writer or an artist, you must have professionalism and keen observation. He has such observation, so there are works like Gai Hua Collection and Xi History of Morning Flowers. He saw different things with keen observation and wrote them down.
He has many creative ideas and is willing to put them into practice, which is why he has achieved such success. So did Lin Yutang at the same time. He can observe life and write his understanding of life into his works, including China People, Crying and Ridiculous, etc. He has a unique view on many things.
Lin Yutang's works highlight his feelings about life, among which The Red Peony and The Art of Life are famous masterpieces. Lin Yutang is like this, so is he. I have a lot of feelings about life, and "Three Tans on the Moon" is the embodiment of his feelings. I have a keen sense of many things, and I am willing to think about life with it.
If you want to be a writer, you must persevere and have strong endurance. Someone once said that you can only achieve something if you can stand loneliness and sit on the cold bench. Study while others are drinking coffee, and study while others are playing, so that you can become a different person. He is such a person!
He can do this, but his children may not. It is unlikely that Mr. Zhou's son will surpass his father in literature, so he can only find another way. This is very similar to Guo Qilin! Guo Qilin also knew that he was unlikely to surpass his father in cross talk, so he chose acting. Because in acting, Guo Qilin is still good.
His wonderful performances in Joy of Life and Grandma surprised many people. Guo Qilin can do this, so can his son. He's a radio major, and he's pretty good. Many people think that the reason why children are not allowed to take the road of literature is to make them more capable and serve the people.
Third, he means to learn more useful majors.
At that time, he probably felt that literature or art could not contribute to architecture and would not make himself a more useful talent. He used the pen in his hand to wake everyone up, let everyone feel the discomfort of the surrounding environment, feel the discomfort of life, and then change themselves and the environment.
However, some people just live in a daze, as described in an article: some people are alive, but they are gone. Some people are willing to live a plain life. He thinks they can change it in other ways if they can, such as learning other knowledge and science. Knowledge of science will be more useful, so Mr. Zhou's son studied science.
I studied science at Peking University and became a radio major. In his view, literature can criticize the shortcomings of the times, but it can't be of great help when needed, while scientific knowledge can. As the saying goes, you are not afraid to travel around the world if you learn math and physics well. This is recognized by many people and followed by many people.
Scientific knowledge can display talents when needed, thus making itself a unique talent, and in some cases, it can become an available talent. Of course, this is also the expectation for children. As parents, I naturally hope that my children will get better and better. Even without great achievements, it can add a little fun to life.
After his father left, Mr. Zhou's son didn't engage in literature and art either. It can be regarded as obeying his father's will and working hard in broadcasting specialty to become a talent needed by social development. It can also be regarded as making great contributions to society. What do you think of such a will? Welcome to leave a message!
