"Wow! Have you ever heard of Mahatma Gandhi in India? He's a big guy! Xiao Yan said to me excitedly.
"Gandhi? Of course, he was the leader of the Indian independence movement. I replied.
"That's right, that's right! Have you heard of some of his 'abstinence' experiments, though? Xiao Yan asked mysteriously.
"Abstinence experiments? What the hell is this? I asked curiously.
"Hehe, listen to me slowly." Xiao Yan began to tell, "Legend has it that in order to exercise his ascetic endurance, Gandhi's grandfather shared a bed with his granddaughter, niece and daughter-in-law! ”
"What?! That's too exciting, isn't it? I screamed in surprise.
"Yes, yes, but, it is said that he failed every time." Xiao Yan smiled and said, "It seems that abstinence is not so easy. ”
"Oh, this old man Gandhi is so funny." I sighed, "But this must have caused quite a bit of controversy at the time, right?" ”
"What do you say? At that time, Indian society attached great importance to sexual morality, and Grandpa Gandhi was undoubtedly challenging traditional ideas by doing so. Xiao Yan explained.
"And how did Grandpa Gandhi explain it himself?" I pressed on.
"Ah, he said, these experiments were all spiritual challenges, and he didn't have any sexual intent." Xiao Yan replied, "However, this kind of thing, the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, and no one can say clearly." ”
"Also, it's really hard to explain this kind of thing." I nodded in agreement, "What do his supporters think of Grandpa Gandhi's experiments?" ”
"Gee, you're asking the right person." Xiao Yan said proudly, "It is said that the supporters of Grandpa Gandhi have very different views on this matter. Some felt it was a manifestation of his spiritual purity and moral steadfastness, while others saw it as an anachronistic act. ”
"Gee, isn't that what we often call 'opinion'." I sighed.
As we chatted like this, we couldn't help but get to know Gandhi better about the great man. While some of his actions may seem controversial in contemporary times, his political achievements and philosophy of nonviolence have had a profound impact on the world.
"By the way, Xiaoyan, when Grandpa Gandhi died, were there many women who were buried for him?" I suddenly remembered some rumors I had seen earlier.
"Funeral? I've heard this before, but there's no hard evidence to support it. Xiao Yan shook his head, "And, you know what? The funeral tradition of India was abolished during the lifetime of Grandpa Gandhi. ”
"I see, it seems that this statement is probably a misreading or exaggeration of history." I nodded thoughtfully.
"But to be honest, Grandpa Gandhi is a very complicated character." Xiao Yan lamented, "His philosophy of nonviolence has had a profound impact on the whole world, but his personal life is indeed full of controversy." ”
"That's right, the evaluation of historical figures should indeed be comprehensive and multi-dimensional." I agreed, "We should not judge him only on the basis of his political achievements, but also on his personal practice and the impact it has on those around him." ”
The two of us continued to talk about the deeds and controversies of Grandpa Gandhi. Although some of his actions may be criticized in contemporary times, we all agree that he is a great and complex figure that deserves our in-depth understanding and consideration.
As I chatted, I suddenly thought of a question: "Xiao Yan, do you think our current evaluation of Grandpa Gandhi will be affected by the background of the times?" ”
"Definitely." Xiao Yan replied without thinking, "Every era has its own values and moral standards." Just as we may find some of Gandhi's actions controversial now, he may have been the hero and leader of his time in the social context of the time. ”
"That's right." I nodded, "It seems that we really need to be more objective and comprehensive in our evaluation of historical figures." ”
Through this chat, I have a deeper understanding and understanding of Grandpa Gandhi. While some of his actions may be controversial and criticized, his great achievements and contributions cannot be ignored. His life is full of legends and profound thoughts, which is worthy of in-depth study and discussion by our descendants~
