Zhang Chengzhi | the story of throwing stones: abandoning the disease of the heart, or going to the disease

Over the past two years, the pandemic has quietly changed our social and personal lives. Quarantine during the pandemic has allowed us to cancel our gatherings with friends and disrupt normal social interactions. Subconsciously, people are cut off from each other, emotional estrangement, coupled with ghosts, and deep "unbelief" between people has emerged.

Compared with epidemics, the chronic diseases of the human heart are more serious. As the contemporary writer Zhang Chengzhi wrote: "I think this is the latest form of virus mutation, which is an incurable heart disease." ”

Today, movable type Jun shared with book friends this article by Teacher Zhang Chengzhi's "Climbing a Mountain to Delight the Eye". How can isolation and barriers be eliminated? Teacher Zhang's method is: "Climb the mountain to broaden your horizons and wash your heart with your best friends." ”

The human heart is completely like a cow and a sheep.

It needs to be watered constantly, it needs to be fed grass. The human heart needs to be cared for, cared for, cared for and missed. And when the contact between people is cut off, once the contact, the touch, the memory, the affection, the heart, begin to suffer a kind of aggression, it is placed in a cold environment: lack of water, thirst, withering.

Moreover, hearing and witnessing, full of filth, careful analysis is all the magic of the devil. If a person does not deal with it twice, the heart will wear out, hurt, and bleed in the exposure.

This is an unconscious death of humanity. Over time, subconsciously, people have severed their relationship with each other, emotional estrangement, coupled with ghosts, and deep "unbelief" between people has emerged.

I think this is the latest form of virus mutation, an incurable heart disease.

Once it spreads to society as a whole, and once there is a lack of trust among the people, the so-called unity and strength will be lost. That's a huge "disaster." Yes, so underneath the word "sick", there is a faintly hidden one (bala, disaster).

For some people, I mean people who have a clean heart and a heavy heart, and the virus between the city and the well often sneaks into the skin and gradually hurts people. Do something deliberately, heal your heart in self-defense, and protect the value of perseverance.

Just as sprinkling water on dead trees in a dry winter and feeding weak lambs in the spring, my approach is:

Climb the mountain to broaden your horizons and wash your heart with your best friends.

You can also give it a try!

——Far away, throw a letter to greet, meet at the border, climb the mountain, put a pair of eyes into a pleasant vision, let a heart get inspired. In the dangerous mountain of healing and affection, between friends, each other's feelings are tempered again, even if they have doubts, their beliefs are consolidated three times.

Needless to say, you have long understood that my "ascension" is very different from the climbers of the world.

The torrential stream of climbing pipes along the ladder has stirred up the heads of flies, and the rat plague has caused everyone to shout and beat in disgust. We, on the contrary, ascend the mountain, in order to stand out around the plague of turbidity, in order to find for our hearts—great landscapes, simple people.

In September 2021, just after leaving, my brothers and I achieved such an ascent under the main peak of the Jishi Mountains.

At that time, the feet were stepping on the height of 3800 meters, and what they saw was a beautiful view. The hands are clutched by rough palms.

Big scenery, simple people, that visual feast! The joy of those eyes! Shoulder to shoulder, the beautiful scenery is owned by you in an instant. That moment proved that not only is man alive, but also that the important "faith" remains unchanged. We took a group photo at the top of the mountain, full of joy, not only affirming yesterday's dangerous road, but also agreeing on tomorrow's peers.

Birthday in that small village. Behind the white clouds is the main peak of Mount Dalijia

It's only been a few months, and I'm already nostalgically thinking back. Once you spend your seventy-third birthday on Jishi Mountain, you will have a magnificent and intense experience. There, they confirm each other's hearts, and only then do they understand the love that cannot be changed. Without words, just by action, when one step up to the top of the cloudy mountain, overlooking the bustling world of the netherworld, the heart is warm.

Last year I wrote:

"A pair of historical names is like a proverb: Xin abandons the disease, Huo goes to the disease. I changed them to 'heart abandonment, or disease removal'. ”

Because the chronic diseases of the human heart are more serious, the old diseases are not removed, and the new epidemics are difficult to go. (bala) doesn't just mean disaster, it also means "trial."

The person who falls on his knees in the "little test" certainly betrays his friend first. Therefore, the care of affection does not include hypocrites.

What they betray is the faithfulness and righteousness of man, and they cannot keep themselves clean in the face of the righteousness and righteousness of the world. So for example, "My literature is not a slave to capital"—my proposition does not include villains.

I'm talking about you, my friends.

I call on those who go together to water, to ascend, to maintain affection, and it is you who show worry, hesitation, hesitation. It wasn't me, it was a louder voice calling high in the air: "Don't be afraid, the truth is with you!" ”

Oil Painting: The Story of Throwing Stones

Man's trust, man's knowledge, if it is true, no one can stop it. Just like the writing of a pen, under severe conditions, there is a path between the iron wall and the mountains, which seems to be extremely narrow in space, but the ink is smooth.

The barren mountains are like a complaint, and the dry sea is like listening.

Aren't you and I both searching and listening? Go out the door, meet friends, climb the mountain, indulge in a song. Let the midday winter sun burn hot on your face!
