In the past programs, some shujun has introduced many stories of foreign masterpieces to everyone, and sometimes, they will receive distress from our book friends.
People will say: "There are scholars, why do I look at those foreign literary masterpieces, but I can't read them!" I'm sleepy when I read it often, so why bother? ”
According to the experience of the book jun, on the one hand, this is because the names of foreign people are too difficult to remember, just remembering this Ski and that Merlin's, it takes a lot of our energy.
There is also a more important point, which is the problem of translation.
I believe that there are books, a bad translator can easily ruin the readability of a classic masterpiece, so here is to introduce you to a more reliable translator, that is, Fu Lei.
55 years ago, the couple chose to hang themselves because of persecution. In order to prevent the body from falling to the ground and making a noise to wake up the neighbors, they also spread cotton wool and sheets on the ground.
They came clean and went so clean.
In the 1960s, Fu Lei translated almost all the works of important French writers, including Balzac and Romain Rolland.
His translation was praised by everyone as: fluent writing, rich in words, and with the characteristics of conveying the gods.
The book that Shujun wants to introduce today is more special and meaningful, that is, the "Fu Lei Family Letter" composed of fu Lei's letters to his foreign son Fu Cong.
Mr. Fu Lei's cultural accomplishment, we don't need to say more, the children he cultivated, that must also be very good, Fu Lei and his wife have been painstakingly lonely all their lives, and they have cultivated two children with painstaking efforts: Fu Cong and Fu Min.
One became a famous piano master and the other became a special teacher of English.
In the eyes of many people, this is undoubtedly the result of educational success. Therefore, the "Fu Lei Family Letter" has become a study guide for many Chinese parents.
Next, through this book, we will go to see what Fu Lei's educational philosophy is like.
From 1954 onwards, Fu Lei and his wife began to send family letters to their son Fu Cong, who often discussed art-related issues with his son in the family letters.
This is also a point of mention and help for his son's career as a father.
Before his son became famous, Fu Lei stressed to his son that in the creative process, we must pay attention to the combination of rationality and sensibility.
He felt that it was necessary to practice hard skills while playing the piano, but if you want to become a real artist, you also need to learn to inject the most sincere emotions into the music, because only in this way can you impress the audience.
After his son became famous, Fu Lei warned Fu Cong to ensure his "dignity of art".
What does that mean?
It is that after an artist becomes famous, it is easy to get lost, start creating for money, and hold concerts one after another.
Fu Lei was very worried about this, and the worried father even asked about his son's financial situation from time to time in his home letters, the purpose of which was to "monitor" his son's income and expenditure, hoping that Fu Cong's artistic creation was pure.
From this incident, we can see that in fact, Fu Lei has been adhering to a simple outlook on life and influencing his children in this way.
He also often gives advice to his son in terms of how to behave.
For example, he often emphasizes in his family letters that he should adhere to the "big me" and abandon the "small me".
That is to say, do not be too careful about personal fame and fortune and gains and losses, in fact, some scholars feel that this view is also very applicable to many young people at present.
Because we will find that life is always full of bitterness and contradictions, when we are passionate about personal fame and fortune, but do not get fame and fortune, we will inevitably become extremely painful because of jealousy and hatred.
On the contrary, if we insist on the "big self", not only for personal purposes, but for social welfare and the future of mankind, because the starting point is justice, ideals, and love, we can force ourselves to make some small contributions.
It's also the best remedy for "cynicism."
In terms of dealing with the world, Mr. Fu Lei reminded his son in this way, that is, "We must be generous and measured."
He analyzed the psychology of people: for the rare gifts, it is valued, and often what is obtained is not only not valued, but considered to be the right to be enjoyed, and it is easy to have resentment.
Therefore, if you want to give help, it is best to help on the blade of the knife, help others when they need it most, and never let yourself become a good old man who is ultimately difficult to refuse any request from others.
In addition to his outlook on life and how to deal with the world, Mr. Fu Lei's advice on his son's feelings is also very valuable.
Before his son got married, he only told his son two words, "self-love."
Because repeated, fruitless love makes people numb to love.
When the son really entered a marriage, Mr. Fu Lei taught his son the harmonious way of getting along with his wife for decades, that is, "the friendship of gentlemen is as light as water" and "husband and wife should respect each other as guests", because only calm, subtle and gentle feelings can last.
Mr. Fu Lei also reminded his son that he should not neglect his wife and family for the sake of art, and that on the long road of two people, he should always pull his wife and not let his wife fall behind.
In this way, a long-term harmonious marriage can be maintained.
In fact, from Mr. Fu Lei's family letter to his son, we can also see the common characteristics of Chinese parents, that is, to take their children as the focus of their lives.
In the "Fu Lei Family Letter", Fu Lei, as a father, always tries to arrange everything for his son, even to various details of life.
But Fu Cong himself has said that for this kind of care, he, like many of our children, is also a little bored.
However, in the whole family book, what Shujun sees is a vivid and cute father figure.
In fact, "Fu Lei's Family Letter" is not only suitable for many book lovers who are parents to read, but also very suitable for those young people who have been confused and depressed in life and emotional road.
When you are troubled, take out this book and read it, and experience Mr. Fu Lei's earnest teachings.
