Shen Junshan, the former president of Tsinghua University in Taiwan, is a beautiful son in the eyes of Jin Yong, Sanmao, and Lin Qingxia, who is brilliant, erudite and elegant. He must also have a strong admiration for Shen Fu and "Six Tales of Floating Life", so he also presents the details of his life in the form of words, restoring his most interesting state of life, and he has created several prose essay collections with the name of "Floating Life". And his "Floating Life Revisit" is the third book after "Three Stories of Floating Life" and "Floating Life Again".
In this book, the author recalls the bits and pieces of his past life, the details of his work and life at Tsinghua University after the anti-Taiwan movement, and the experience of becoming a "political councilor" and an official. Of course, what is more important is the author's detailed description of family, friendship and mentorship between the lines of this book.
The author deliberately imitates the creative technique of "Six Tales of Floating Life" to present us with the most interesting moments of life. For example, in the article "The Fool Moves the Mountain", the author wrote "the story of a glass of water".
Four or five-year-old children have questions about why a glass of water cools faster when it is folded around, so they come to ask their parents. But parents, who are also scientists, are busy with their own affairs, and their answers to their children are ambiguous. However, the more serious children had doubts about the two answers, and under the constant questioning, they almost set off a "war" between their parents.
Such a plot must be ridiculous for the reader to read, but we can also see the author's dedication to science since childhood, the seriousness of his parents about his knowledge, and the spirit of uncompromising for the sake of truth.
And such details are all over the content of this book, the author tells about the people and things around him, often with an extremely witty and humorous tone, presenting his insight into life, bringing us a deep affection.
For example, in his article "The Story of Being Scolded", the author uses such an extremely alternative perspective of "being scolded" to present us with a scholar's extremely rigorous attitude towards life. As scholars, discovering the truth is their only goal, so any little flaw is unacceptable to them, so there is the author who is "scolded" again and again, and there is also a kind of praise for being scolded for small mistakes. Therefore, the author can also feel the meaning of "scolding" in the "scolding", and he also deeply understands the good intentions of the scholars.
Such an article with a great sense of life pictures, so that we must be full of warmth in our hearts when we read it, and we must be able to have a sense of understanding. Then let's go into the life circle of a scholar through the reading of such a "Floating Life", and into the details of the lives of more scholars related to it, and discover a world that we may not be familiar with. #Shen Junshan##Floating Life##Essay#
