Looking back on the several interactions with Teacher Li Guangxi, they all originated from the 99 Chongyang Elderly Festival Gala held by relevant departments in recent years, and Teacher Li Guangxi not only arrived at every invitation, but also arrived at the earliest, so that I could talk to him intermittently in the free time when the activity had not yet started. Every close encounter and conversation, long or short, has a new harvest. The old man is old, but as a singing artist, he is still personable, gentle and elegant in speech and manners, and amiable. He asked me about the latest situation in all aspects of my career and work, and told me in a serious tone about the goals he had worked hard to pursue in the past, and said that a person can take his own interests and hobbies as a lifelong career, which is the greatest happiness in life. He also said that he is very willing to associate with young people, because he sees the youthful vitality in young people and feels that he is not aging.
The old man also issued heartfelt words, telling me his feelings and feelings: The two most rare things in life are contentment and a happy life, not because I get more, but because I think less. Knowing your shortcomings will you have the motivation to make progress. Understand the true meaning of contentment, you will feel happy; followed by gratitude, no one in this world must be good to you, do not take the good of others to you as a matter of course, learn to be grateful, happiness will last forever. I deeply understand the old man's life realm after many years of experience, and the summary sentence is "contented people are always happy, and grateful people are blessed." "Learn to be content, know how to be grateful, and life will be sunny."

Through the process of acquaintance to acquaintance with Teacher Li Guangxi, I also deeply understood that interacting with different people is a person's emotional needs at the spiritual level, because the biggest source of happiness comes from good interpersonal relationships, the so-called understanding and meaning of happiness, is to establish an intimate relationship with people, and in the process of acquaintance, getting along and accompanying, leaving one unforgettable story after another. Therefore, the mood should be reserved for those who understand you; the feelings should be reserved for those who love you. Because not all people can know your mind, not all people will smile at you. The value of a person's life lies in seeing himself, and then correcting his thinking and attitude, and bravely pursuing his ideals without hesitation, and the meaning of life lies in working hard to forge ahead. This is the effective, most precious life enlightenment and most cherished spiritual wealth obtained every time I have the honor to meet Teacher Li Guangxi!
