Text/Yangcheng Evening News special commentator Ran Yu

Recently, "Hangzhou man called from the funeral home: can you write about our genius son" brushed the screen. "Can you write my son's story?" My son is a genius, he's in a mental hospital now, and his mom just left today. Father Kim Saidong said his son Kim Hyo-woo was diagnosed with manic-depressive episodes that alternating episodes of depression and mania. But in a decade, he translated 22 books, including The Seducer, Andrey Tarkovsky: Elements of Cinema, and Collected Letters, spanning novels, films, music, and philosophy. Jin Shengyong said: "The new book is a heart-strengthening agent when my son's life is hanging on the line. (Hangzhou Daily, January 17)

"Our genius son", full of pride, heavy heart. Struggling to support in the midst of suffering, counterattacking in the midst of suffering. With the power of life, we fight against the injustice of fate; with the warmth of the family, we melt the ice of doom. An ordinary family of three, suffering unimaginable misfortunes of ordinary people, has also performed a touching miracle. In this way, Jin Xiaoyu was redefined as a bipolar patient and a "genius translator".

If you say, "translation" is a ferryman of different cultures. Then, his father and mother are undoubtedly the ferrymen of Jin Xiaoyu's life. From the collapsed, desperate end, to the calm, newborn other end.

Life closes a door for you and opens a window for you. It's just that many times, people who are trapped in distress may not have time to find that window, and they may not have the confidence to find that window. For decades, Mr. and Mrs. Jin Sexyong have been walking and trying, just to find the window for their son, just so that a touch of light can be penetrated outside the window. By chance, Jin Xiaoyu finally met his destined destination. And this is by no means a divine mercy, but a path of redemption paved with the love of the Father and the Love of the Mother. Even if the waves are terrifying outside, the small home is the most reliable haven. In the meantime, love is growing and illness is fading. The air is warming, the talent is shining.

"It is acceptable not to study, not to work, not to become a family, as long as our son lives", perhaps discouraged, but in the end did not give up. Before discovering geniuses, when cultivating geniuses, the original intention of Jin Shengyong and his wife was very simple and pure, nothing more than "protecting their children"... "as long as the son lives", humble wishes, helplessness to ask for nothing else. However, as an elegant, old-school intellectual, Jin's understanding of "living" is not that kind of physical existence, not that kind of physical level of existence, but "living with dignity", or even "living with dignity".

They firmly believed in their son and did not hesitate to give it all. Even all the "pouring" may be smashed and destroyed by the son of bipolar disorder. It is a story of constant sowing seeds and reaping disappointments, like a farmer farming in a saline field, extremely cruel and extremely gentle. Eventually, one day, a seed begins to sprout, growing into the sun and blossoming into fruit. Heartless willow, willow dark flower? Perhaps it is better to say, "People with hearts, the sky is not negative." A long period of tragedy, finally the peak of the road turned. Compared with the praise of "genius translator", Jin Sexyong is more pleased that his son has found his spiritual home and can live peacefully.

The so-called translation, while reading in succession, while holding the writing. Read through the ups and downs of time and write down love and hope. If "Our Genius Son" is the Hangzhou version of "Beautiful Mind", and "My Father and Mother" must be a thicker prequel. (For more news, please pay attention to Yangcheng Pie pai.ycwb.com)
