The child's tears

The child pointed to the bird in Grandpa's cage and said, "Grandpa, the bird is very painful." ”

Grandpa blinked his eyes and said expressionlessly, "What's the pain?" It is not painful at all. ”

The child was anxious, tears in his eyes: "You, you are not a bird, how can you know that birds are not in pain?" ”

Grandpa smiled evilly and said, "You are not Grandpa, how do you know that Grandpa does not know that birds are not painful!" ”

The child is not Zhuang Zhou, the child has nothing to say, and the tears fall.

He was born in a rural area in Dapu County, Guangdong Province, the family is poor, when he was 13 years old, he had to go to his brother-in-law's house to herd cattle, once because of studying, he forgot to manage cattle, cattle ate other people's crops, people looked for brother-in-law to complain, brother-in-law was angry and slapped him, and also scolded him for being a waste, useless things.

He cried, not because of a slap, but because of the words.

Later, he worked as an apprentice in a bamboo shop, dug up grass roots and picked up tree bark, the world changed, a hundred years of natural disasters, hunger and death, and when he was young, he flew overseas with overseas Chinese - went to Indonesia, where he successively worked as a miner, a paper mill helper, a liquor store, a desert island, and an ocean shipping... Everything he did was an effort to forcefully deny the word "waste."

He was the founder of the later Zhang Yu Liquor Company, the developer of the gold award brandy, and the famous winemaking tycoon - Zhang Zhenxun.

You can't ignore the emotions and innocence of children, on the other hand, you respect the truth and direction of human society.

How many people have laughed at the Wright brothers, whose planes are ugly and flew only 59 seconds at a distance of 260 meters; how many have ridiculed Marconi, the father of radio, and the culmination of their painstaking research is to receive a noise on the receiver...

A poll at the time of the 200th anniversary of the founding of the United States showed that Ford and Ford cars were as important in the minds of Americans as the Apollo moon landings and the success of the atomic bombing. And who knows, the first car made by the teenager Ford was actually equipped with four bicycle wheels, driven by chains, no brakes, and could only enter and retreat?

Hitler, the thief of the world, recalled a teacher who had a great influence on his life, Dr. Opald Boychi, who wrote: "I had the privilege of meeting a few people who understood... The history of the principle of devalining the essence of the past may have played a decisive role in my later career. At Linsi Secondary School my teacher Dr. Leopold Boychi... His fierce words, which sometimes make us forget the present, as if by magic, take us to a bygone era, through the fog of time, and turn the dry historical facts into vivid real life. We sat there, often burning with enthusiasm in our hearts, sometimes even in tears...

We don't know what kind of nourishment that teacher instilled in the young Hitler, and whether it was decisive for him to become the world's number one juniper. But Hitler's turbulent childhood, his sadistic father, who often beat him fiercely, and his humble life of "excessively condescending" to his superior officers when he was a soldier in World War I, were not unrelated to the fact that he later became a murderous maniac after he took over power.

I have always believed in the saying that a stone at the source can change the direction of a great river.

Therefore, I firmly believe that many tragedies in human history began with a look and a tear in the eyes of a child who was ignored by adults.
