#人世间征文 #
One day, four of our girlfriends got together and talked about the popular TV series "The World of Man" that is being broadcast by the central tv station. One of the friends asked: The Zhou family has three children, the eldest son Zhou Bingyi, the younger son Zhou Bingkun, the only daughter Zhou Rong, if you choose one of them to be your child, who will you choose?
All four of them replied in unison, "I choose Zhou Bingkun!" Then the eight eyes looked at each other and laughed.
Although Zhou Bingyi, Zhou Bingkun and Zhou Rong were born in the same family, their future and destiny were completely different. In the 1970s, with the progress of going up the mountain and going to the countryside, two boys, Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Bingkun, were originally selected objects. However, because of Zhou Rong's resignation, Zhou Bingkun had to become the one who stayed at home. But because of this, the three of them began to have different fates.
Both Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong were eventually admitted to Peking University, and one married the daughter of the provincial governor's family and the other married a famous contemporary poet. They can be said to have embarked on the peak of their lives.
Zhou Bingkun looked at the achievements of his brother and sister and felt inferior, thinking that he had humiliated his father.
Zhou Rong's husband, Feng Huacheng, has a good saying: There are two kinds of filial piety, one is to nourish the mind, and the other is to nourish the mouth and body. Raising the mind means that they have achieved something, been admitted to a prestigious university, have a decent job, and let their parents' faces shine and make them proud of themselves. Raising a mouth body refers to supporting the family, taking care of the parents' food, clothing, housing and transportation, so that the parents can rely on the elderly.
True filial piety, I am afraid, is the combination of the two, both to cultivate the mind and the mouth, which is also the goal of life that Zhou Bingkun has been pursuing, and finally he has achieved this double filial piety through hard work.
In the most difficult time of the Zhou family, it was Zhou Bingkun and his wife Zheng Juan who silently supported the family. His mother suffered a stroke and was bedridden; her sister's daughter Yue Yue was young and needed to be taken care of; he had to go to work to earn money to support his family; and finally he was arrested and imprisoned for a year because of the Feng Huacheng incident. One by one, the difficulties weighed on them like mountains. But they silently accepted it, never telling their father, brother and sister who were far away. This kind of responsibility and responsibility not only makes people awe-inspiring, but also makes people cry with pain.
While Zhou Bingkun tried his best to take care of his paralyzed mother and maintain the integrity of the family, he thought of his brothers and sisters who were admitted to the infinite scenery of Peking University, and his heart was infinitely inferior, and he felt that he was ashamed of the family. He deliberately confronted his brother, fought with his brother, turned his face to his father, and gambled not to write to his father for several years. These actions are very real reflection of his inner contradictions and entanglements.
Zhou Bingkun exercised in this contradiction and entanglement, continued to mature, and finally the family was complete, the career was successful, and he completed the long-cherished wish of "nourishing both the mouth and the body and the mind".
Under the meticulous care of him and Zheng Juan, the paralyzed mother finally recovered her health, and the three children she raised were also well-behaved and sensible, and the family enjoyed the joy of the world in harmony.
He also finally had the establishment of a public institution, became the boss of the hotel and bookstore in the logistics department of the publishing house, and replaced it with a big house that the whole family dreamed of.
The brother and sister who have gone to the infinite scenery of Peking University have only played the role of "nourishing the mind". The selfish sister not only rarely served her paralyzed mother, but also kept her only daughter at home, raised by Zhou Bingkun and his wife. Although the brother is not an upside-down door, it is no different from an upside-down door. He lived in his father-in-law's house and only came back during the New Year's holidays. They are not around when the family needs them most.
After watching this TV series, we can't help but consider such a question: how can we raise a child who nourishes both the mind and the mouth?
