Recently, the well-known writer Liu Yong launched a new masterpiece "Daddy Won't Cry". In this affectionate creation of Mr. Liu Yong's ancient and rare years, there are not only warm confessions to his daughters that have touched countless netizens, but also the memories and thoughts of farewell to relatives, hometowns and youth years after the age of seventy, and the true feelings between the lines are revealed, and they are also full of wisdom in life for people.
He is a well-known author whose works have sold nearly 10 million copies in Chinese mainland.
He is a college teacher and began teaching at the age of 31 at St. Norwang University in New York.
He was a well-known painter and sold for over a million dollars.
He is an inspirational expert and is known as a "life coach" who has influenced nearly 10 million people.
He is also a model of Chinese people's teaching, known as the "adolescent spiritual communication expert". His son Liu Xuan graduated from Harvard University, and his daughter Liu Yifan graduated from Columbia University and the Wharton School.
He used his royalty income to donate more than 40 Hope Primary Schools across the country and helped more than 200 college and middle school students to attend school.
Writers, poets, university professors, painters, speakers, philanthropists... This "efficient" life history allows us to see that Liu Yong, who has multiple identities, has the "fighting" momentum when facing each identity.
Today, Liu Yong, who is more than a year old, still has not stopped, and he calls his first year of entering the "ancient rarity" "the most important year in his life". This year, he has a lot of creations and feelings, all included in this "Daddy Won't Cry". He wrote that he ran to cast a line of characters and relived the old dream of editing a school magazine when he was a teenager; wrote that he took his children and grandchildren to his hometown to hang and look for the shadow of his youth step by step; wrote about his first solo exhibition in Shanghai; wrote that he planned to never dye his hair again, and see people with white hair and show his true face.
From these stories, we can see that Liu Yong, as an "old man", has a lot less scruples and shows a free side of his personality. In his own words: "How good is the ancient rarity! Become more unscrupulous, freer, more straightforward, more humorous, more childlike, this book is such a combination! ”
Once, Liu Yong touched countless netizens with an article "Fifteen Dings to Make Friends to His Daughter"; now, Liu Yong includes this work in "Daddy Won't Cry" and writes down his warm confession to his daughter. Liu Yong, like every old father, is reluctant to let his daughter grow up and enter his own life; but he hopes that his daughter will grow up quickly and find her own direction in life.
Watching her daughter grow up, Liu Yong will also think of her childhood with her father. As he grew older, his childhood memories became clearer and clearer, and Liu Yong thought that his father spoiled himself, and clothes were always bought for him the most comfortable, often taking him to fish, listen to Peking Opera, and watch juggling. In the face of the mistakes he had made because of his willfulness, he also became more and more heartbroken: "Dad is sorry, I was wrong!" Wax plum is indeed next to the insect word, not next to the moon word. From the day I saw the wax plum in Kyoto, I wanted to say to you that it dragged on until now because I had a hard time facing the moment in your hospital room sixty years ago. ”
From the marriage of his daughter to the various things before his father's parting, to the late Liu Cat, to his departed friends, all kinds of memories and thoughts make Liu Yong's work warm and moving.
The true clarity between the lines of "Daddy Won't Cry" also makes this book a touching work that wants to turn around and hug my father after reading it.
