Ji Xianlin wrote the story of him and several friends in "The Long Years on Earth", and today we will talk about these stories together to see what happened between him and his friends, and what role his confidant played in his life. At the same time, through the experience of Ji Xianlin and his confidant, we can also learn how to get along with friends and how to have a precious friendship.
Let's first talk about the story of Ji Xianlin and Hu Shizhi.
Hu Shizhi this person, we also call him Hu Shi, people who have heard this name, will not be unfamiliar with him. He is a famous thinker, writer, or translator in the modern history of our country, he has translated many works, such as the works of the French Tudor, Maupassant and the Norwegian writer Ibsen, he is not only proficient in classical culture, but also accepted the influence of Western culture, is an important thinker in world history.
In 1948, Hu Shizhi was the president of Peking University, and at that time, Ji Xianlin was also teaching at Peking University, so the two became acquainted.
In Ji Xianlin's view, Hu Shizhi is a very humorous and funny person, although he is the principal, he is very easy-going to everyone, always smiling, kind and kind. At that time, Ji Xianlin was a lecturer and would often report to the principal, and the two often talked in the principal's office.
In addition, Hu Shizhi is also the editor-in-chief of the academic supplement of the newspaper, Ji Xianlin often writes articles to submit articles to the newspaper, and the two have exchanges in addition to work, even academic issues must be communicated together.
Ji Xianlin wrote a paper, he felt that he wrote very generally, the point of view is a little unclear, he took it to Hu Shizhi to help see, the next morning Hu Shizhi gave him a reply, Ji Xianlin knew, so quickly reply to himself, Hu Shizhi must have read it overnight, Hu Shizhi told Ji Xianlin, he wrote very well. This sentence brought great encouragement to Ji Xianlin, and Hu Shizhi not only praised Ji Xianlin's knowledge in person, but also praised Ji Xianlin in front of others behind his back.
Once, Hu Shizhi was drinking tea with a group of people from the Academic Research Institute, and he said to these people: "Everyone should do their studies like Ji Xianlin of Peking University." These words reached Ji Xianlin's ears and made him very moved.
Ji Xianlin is a university student with a high level of education, similarly, Hu Shizhi is also a cultural person, although the two people are a little different in age, but in academic research, it is really very tacit understanding. Hu Shizhi appreciates Ji Xianlin's talent and learning, Ji Xianlin also respects Hu Shizhi, the two people have common hobbies and love to do learning, so the two are each other's confidants.
We often say a word, that life is rare to know a confidant. We can make a lot of ordinary friends in life, but confidants and friends are difficult to meet. Zeng Guofan once said that the success or failure of a person's life is related to the wisdom of friends. This tells us that whether the friends you make are good or bad determine whether your life is successful or unsuccessful.
So, it's important what kind of people we make friends with, and it affects our whole life.
If we make friends with people with like-mindedness, common pursuits, and common ideals, we are closer to our own goals, and it is easier to succeed with the encouragement and companionship of friends. If we make friends with those who are talented and have high character, we will also enrich our knowledge, pay attention to our own cultivation, and become an excellent person.
A good friend is the best companion on our life path, he moves forward with us, and when we need help, he is willing to help us and pull us together.
Throughout the ages, it is easy to make general friends, but confidants are the most difficult to find. Therefore, if you meet a confidant, you must cherish them and cherish this friendship, because the confidant can benefit us for a lifetime.
If the confidant who appears in the fate does not appear for the time being, we should not be disappointed in a hurry, we will first do ourselves well, achieve ourselves, and then wait for the confidant.
