Feng Zikai: I don't argue with others. I don't love everything. I don't like it. I won't surprise you.

You must have seen this sentence in many places, "don't be confused, don't fall in love." Not afraid of the future, not thinking about the past. " Don't necessarily know where it comes from;

You must have seen a cartoon full of childlike interest, a few strokes, and the charm of Chinese painting. You feel kind and warm, but you don't know who the painting technician is.

You must have learned a text "White Goose" in the primary school textbook, and you may not remember who the author is, but there will always be a picture of the white goose singing by the neck in your mind.

In fact, these are all from one person-Feng Zikai. He was an enlightener of the New Culture Movement, a thoughtful calligrapher, painter, writer and art educator.

Among Mr. Feng Zikai's works, comics are the most famous. It is often a few strokes that outline an artistic conception, such as "after people leave, a crescent moon is like water", several tea cups and a louver cage, which are very emotional.

Many of Mr. Feng's cartoons are about children, such as "A Bao shirtless", "You peel a melon for me and I will fan you", "Hui" and "My son". Looking at Mr. Feng's children's cartoons, they are full of indifference, childlike interest, innocence and sincerity. Sometimes I start to reflect on myself after reading. When can our world be less fraudulent, more persistent, more natural and more indifferent?

Someone once quoted a westerner's evaluation of Wagner as saying that his teacher "Apollo held literary talent in his right hand and musical talent in his left hand and distributed them to writers and musicians all over the world." Wagner has the gift of his hands. "-this is no exaggeration for Feng Zikai's dedication.

Take Mr. Feng Zikai as an example. His right hand holds the talent of painting and his left hand holds the talent of literature. In the vicissitudes of decades, it has maintained a consistent style: graceful and quiet, diluted and peaceful, which has had a great influence on the history of China's new literature. As early as the 1920s, he published works such as Introduction to Art, Introduction to Music, Tour of Famous Western Paintings, Collection of Feng Zikai's Works and Collection of Feng Zikai's Prose. He published 180 books in his life.

After Living is Simple, this book How to Cherish this Life reproduces the warm heart of a generation of literary master Feng Zikai to the world: live in the sea, love yourself hard, and cherish it more!

He speaks like a whisper, quietly telling a gentle, open and gentle life that is uncontested with others in a plain and open-minded situation.

Yu Pingbo commented on Feng Zikai like this: "Every" Falling Out of England "implies human feelings." If it is human, it is probably derived from the immature growth environment.

1898165438+1October 9, Feng Zikai was born in Chongde County, Zhejiang Province. As the only boy of his peers, he was surrounded by tenderness since childhood, which made him always look at things with a gentle and compassionate heart. When it spread in his works, it became plain words and pure painting style.

19 14, Feng Zikai was admitted to Zhejiang First Normal University. In this school, Feng Zikai met two teachers who had a great influence on his life-Li Shutong and Xia Mianzun.

The former not only inspired him in music and art, but also set an example for him in life.

The latter advocates to express his true feelings truthfully in bright vernacular, which has always been regarded as a standard by him and has become the most amiable and lovely feature in his later prose creation.

In these two teachers who have deep friendship with him, Feng Zikai found three things to accompany him in his life-literature, painting and music. These can be found in How to Cherish this Life.

From Ananda's short life, he realized that his life has its own precious and eternal side. "In a catastrophe, life is just a leap. I caught a glimpse of all life in your jump. Ananda! You and I are not indifferent, you are me and I am you: I don't care about you and me. "

He will hold the greatest warmth to the newborn child, see the beating of his chest, know that Ananda has lived a short life, see himself and blend in, and realize that all phenomena in the world are the manifestation of the great life of the universe.

In Mr. Li Huai Shutong, he said that Master Hongyi changed from a handsome son to an overseas student, then to a teacher, then to a Taoist and finally to a monk. Every kind of person has done a decent job. Just like an all-around actor: Tsing Yi is like Tsing Yi, old people are like old people, and big faces are like big faces ... all because of "seriousness". Mr. Feng Zikai's achievement also comes from the word "earnest".

In Mr. Feng Zikai's works, we follow him to relive the old days: the hardships of losing his father, learning painting, making friends with Li Shutong and Xia Mianzun, the joy and pain of raising a family and raising children, and the hardships of fleeing from the war after the Japanese invaders invaded. ...

A thin curtain over the eyes was lifted-living in this world has never been easy.

Every generation has its own difficulties, and it is always easy to let nature take its course. The difficult thing is to build your own beauty on things that are constantly being destroyed, even small things, which represent people's will that cannot be destroyed.

He said to Po in "Send Po Out of the Golden Age": "My child, I look forward to your life more than once a day! I want to tell you my grievances. It's a pity that when you understand what I said, you are no longer the person I can expect. What a sad thing it is. "

In the article "Being a Father", he intends to educate his children to the peddler who has gone away with a burden. The next time, "I can't say yes when I see a good mouth, and I can't say yes when I want to", but he didn't stop talking: where can I hide the next father who educated his children in this innocent and aboveboard spring scene?

I don't want to suppress children's nature, and I don't want secular smoke to infect children's clear hearts. He hopes to keep the child's sincerity, but he also knows that the child will eventually become an "adult". At that moment, the child has grown up and how sad it is.

But he was not disappointed, since there was nowhere to escape, it was better to be happy; Since there is no pure land, it is better to meditate; Since I didn't get what I wanted, I might as well be relieved. In this way, his words, like a big hand made of soft lake water, can gently smooth the restless people in this era. With a heart suddenly enlightened, he took us to listen to the pulse in the depths of this world. ...

Mr. Feng Zikai said: "Don't spoil and live a life without surprises", and the best attitude towards life is generally the same. Not to squeeze the value of every minute, not to make great achievements, nor to expect with trepidation, but to cherish it in a simple, calm and indifferent way:

Cherish yourself, cherish the present and cherish life itself.

Fortune and misfortune are impermanent, and so are honor and disgrace.

Not only can we survive the ups and downs of honor and disgrace;

You can live freely in ordinary simplicity.

It is really a life that has not been spoiled.
