Every time I read Liang Shiqiu's book, I think of my high school Chinese teacher in my mind, which almost becomes a conditioned reflex.
Here's the thing —
At that time, my high school Chinese teacher was interested in the classroom, comparing Lu Xun and Liang Shiqiu together, saying that the words of one text were harsh and cold, and wanted to awaken the ideological consciousness of the Chinese people in an almost shouting way; while the other text was full of human fireworks and a strong sense of humanity. I had a few doubts at the time:
Do Lu Xun and Liang Shiqiu have a friendship?
How affectionate are male writers with a strong sense of humanity?
What is the story in the fireworks of the world?
……
Later, I heard the story of Liang Shiqiu's relief of Shen Congwen. In 1922, Shen Congwen came to Beijing after taking off his military uniform, and he longed to go to university, but he only had a primary school education and had no financial resources, so he could only observe at Peking University. At that time, Shen Congwen was floating in Beijing, poor and destitute, almost about to give up on himself, it was Liang Shiqiu who took him down to the restaurant to eat delicious food, and at the end gave him a few copper plates, surviving the most difficult period.
Tsinghua talents, Harvard masters, university professors! Such a Liang Shiqiu was really a height that Shen Congwen could not hope for. However, in Liang Shiqiu's eyes, Shen Congwen's talent was above all else, and he cherished talent and admired him so much.

-Liang Shiqiu Food Memory-
The smell of fireworks in the world is the most soothing to the hearts of mortals!
Liang Shiqiu grew up in a Beijing hutong and is quite familiar with the traditional cuisine of old Beijing. Even later, when I went to Taiwan, I still have endless memories and remember many old Beijing flavors. Bean juice, roast duck, croquettes, fried cake fritters, Beijing cheese and dumpling soup buns... Reading his gastronomic prose, the appetite came and went, and I felt that my tongue was full of excitement, and I was very eager to enter it immediately. Thinking about it in this way, it seems that I can understand the mood of Mr. Liang Shiqiu in the text, who very much wants to eat old Beijing food.
If you want to talk about the aesthetics of life, I think Mr. Liang Shiqiu is the earliest life aesthetics. His literary accomplishment, food sketches and strong human touch, I don't know how many people have been impressed. Speaking of Mr. Dye is still a tall man, the original thick and thin, the touch of food in the culture, how much warm feelings flow out. In the final analysis, Mr. Li is a person of great affection and righteousness, and his concern for fireworks in the world and his expectations for a better life seem to be more profound than ordinary people.
Share two golden sentences of Liang Shiqiu:
Cai Gen Tan's so-called "flowers look half open, wine drinking slightly drunk" fun, is the most low-lying realm.
"The foodie doesn't have to be a glutton" – the foodie focuses on the quality of the food, not the quantity.

-Liang Shiqiu Hometown-
Warm feelings, prose condensed
"A trip to the world, just have fun" is a concise compilation of Liang Shiqiu's prose, reading it will feel that Mr. Is an open-minded person, his attitude to life, simple and complex; and for people and things, it is a particularly warm person. In almost everyone's impression, Liang Shiqiusheng is an old and good man, a special gentleman, a person with special demeanor, a special talent, and a special worthy of closeness.
I had previously read bingxin's eulogy for Liang Shiqiu. Words cry, tears. It seems that Bing Xin suddenly received a call from Liang Shiqiu's daughter, telling her that her husband had passed away. At the beginning of receiving a message, Bingxin wrote a deep eulogy from the heart, recalling the bits and pieces of the past. Liang Shiqiu once met Bing Xin when he was studying abroad, and he performed a play together on the stage of the international student gathering, and also played a husband and wife. And in reality, the two have also had a good feeling for each other, there are some small feelings, and even in the eyes of outsiders, it seems that they are about to get married. Later, BingXin married Wu Wenyu, and Liang Shiqiu also sighed, with a trace of regret.
The biggest feeling of reading "A Trip in the World, Just Have Fun" is that I feel that the humanistic enjoyment that combines food, life and culture is so strong. A person, a lifetime, a clear heart, free heart, self-satisfaction, is enough.
Fall into the words into warmth, a lifetime of peace
Since Mr. Liang Shiqiu left the mainland in 1949, he did not expect that this trip would be a permanent separation from the mainland. Separated by a shallow strait, the hometown has become a distant place that cannot be reached.
I am like this, looking at the water while thinking of you.
