If life is like Feng Zikai, life is lovely everywhere.
This is the feeling I gained when I read Feng Zikai's works recently.
In his pen, the stool is afraid of dirt and will put shoes on the four legs; the clouds in the sky will turn into beautiful shapes to comfort people; the children's graffiti, the cat will run over to appreciate it...
"Ah Bao has two feet, the stool has four feet"
"Clouds"
It's amazing! Those trivial and trivial things, as soon as they reached his eyes, instantly became cute and loving, and there was joy.
When it spread out into his pen, it became a simple prose and a childlike cartoon, which was seen by people, like spring water flowing through the tip of the heart, so that it could be healed.
No wonder from the prime minister, to ba jin, Zhu Guangqian, Tagore and other masters, and even to the street wonton vendors, all love this old man.
If you are full of leisure and leisure, then reading his works is the icing on the cake: the more you read, the more delicate you are, the more you can find that "all things are self-sufficient in contemplation", find Zen fun, and live clearly.
If you are tired of chicken feathers, then you should read Feng Zikai, temporarily hide in the innocent world he has built for you, and you can enjoy and enjoy yourself with him.
What is feng zikai's world?
Today, based on this set of "Cherish This Life" Feng Zikai prose comic selection set, combined with his life, I will talk to all of you friends.
In the twenty-fourth year of Qing Guangxu (1898.11.9), a baby cry came from the deep lane of Shimen Bay in Zhejiang Province, and Feng Zikai was born.
As the only boy among the 7 children in the family, he is like Jia Baoyu, his grandmother dotes on him, his parents love him, his sister loves him, and even his neighbors like him.
Growing up in an atmosphere full of love, he is always soaked with warmth in his bones, turning into a childlike heart and love in his works, warm and healing.
Take the fan as a wheel, wear daddy's shoes to dress up adults, graffiti, catch butterflies... He wrote down the children's ordinary things, reminding us that there is simplicity in the world, and we may not be able to live a clear and easy life.
In his innocence, he is fascinated by the kindness of the child who sympathizes with all things, and the attitude of curiosity and love for all things.
Because the toy hurts, it breaks, and they cry; because the birds can understand, they can lie in front of the window and talk to the birds; even "Why is the willow tree green" have to ask...
This empathy and love, found that the cute childlike heart of life, has long been forgotten in the adult world, and the joy is naturally much less.
Since the beginning of the third year of the Republic of China, he studied under Li Shutong. When Li Shutong became a master of Hongyi, he took refuge under his throne and became the first son of the secular sect.
At Master Koichi, he not only learned the essence of art and music, but also became more familiar with the virtues of being a human being and the Zen of the world.
This makes his works, in addition to childlike fun, a little more Zen, human touch, and inadvertently solve the confusion in the reader's heart.

In the text, or a word to break the truth of life, or to inspire people to think, the more you read, the more flavorful, often read often new.
In human life, with "equal difference", there is "comparison", with "comparison" there is "bitterness", with "bitterness", there is "problem". ("Comparison")
"Life" has been repeated tens of millions of times, and it has disappeared like a bubble. On the one hand, everyone knows that they are like this, but on the other hand, they do not know it, and they are enthusiastic about being people without any doubt. ("Morning Dream")
Within the comics, there is often a leisurely and sudden, and the details can always find a broad and a little relief.
Two simple paintings illustrate:
Life friends three or two, a round of bright moon and a cup of tea, there is no great wealth and nobility.
Life is not satisfactory, nine times out of ten, let alone in the war years?
In the twenty-sixth year of the Republic of China, the claws of life began to reach out to Feng Zikai, torturing him for 33 years.
Shelled, displaced and exhausted. During the Wenge period, the cruel storm directly destroyed his body, so that this kind and lovely old man eventually fell.
Before his death, Feng Zikai curled up in this small bed
But what is rare is that Feng Zikai is still alive after he is desperate and sees the ugliness of the war, and even brings hope to people.
As he himself said: "Since there is nowhere to hide, it is better to be silly." Since there is no escape, it is better to rejoice. ”
Since war life is inevitable, it is better to take advantage of the years of poetry and wine, and still write about innocence and childlike fun, beautiful human feelings... Up to now, I am afraid that few people have done it.
In the face of growth, most people are teaching us: know more about people's feelings and sophistication, and learn more about the way to stand up.
This old man, after we recognize the truth of life, tells us to still feel life like children, to become what we want, cute and interesting.
I think that's why people still like him to this day.
The set of "Cherish this Life" Feng Zikai prose comic selection set that I am currently reading and I would like to recommend to you is personally authorized by Feng Zikai's daughter Feng Yiyin to participate in the review, and the classic works are selected on the basis of manuscripts, which are original.
A set of four volumes, "How Precious is this Life", "Not Living Up to the Good in the World", "Everything is Really Interesting", and "A Lifetime of Frankness", each of which has a high score of more than 8 points in Douban, which is deeply loved by readers.
A total of 137 essays and 174 comics are included in Feng Zikai's life, which can be seen in his innocence, fun, warmth and benevolence, and artistic achievements.
In the era of being urged to run forward, you may wish to give Feng Zikai a time for an article, and you will find that the restless, hard and indestructible heart has softened in an instant, slowly reconciled with itself and everything, and relaxed a lot.
A set of less than a hundred yuan, but the binding is extremely elaborate, placed on the bookshelf, beautiful as a work of art.
The cover is hard-shell hardcover, with its own lotus pattern, very elegant, with a hot white lacquer title, adding a sense of luxury.
The four volumes are divided into four colors, red, yellow, green and blue, which are eye-catching but not gorgeous; the waist seal adds a little delicacy and softness to the whole, and it is also convenient to use as a bookmark.
Attached is the handbook "Good Wind and Day: Classic Poetry of Feng Zikai Comics", illustrated by the comics depicted by Feng Zikai for 63 classic poems.
Use it to savor the old man's funny humor and poetry, while learning from him to record the ordinary things in life, and live a lovely life.
Ba Jin once sketched the image of Feng Zikai: "A child's heart that has no quarrel with people, loves everything, and has a pure and unblemished heart." ”
Perhaps, we can't have the same soul as Feng Zikai. But we can choose, in his pen, to forget the worldly things for the time being, and to be closer to the frank and childish, innocent childlike heart, and this is enough.
May you, after insight into life, still feel that life is lovely.
