The old monk left two predictions for Chairman Mao. One pointed out the way out for China, and the other was the pain of becoming chairman.

19 17 One summer, two young people came to a temple in Ningxiang county. These two young people are Xiao Yu, a great young man and a good friend. At that time, they agreed to go out to study together and happened to come to an ancient temple in Ningxiang. I heard that there was a Taoist monk here, and they hit it off immediately and came to consult the monk.

The old monk looked at the two young people in front of him and made two predictions. At that time, neither the great man nor Xiao Yuqing took the prophecy to heart, but decades later it came true. These two predictions, one pointed out the way out for China, and the other pointed out the pain of becoming a great man. What the hell is going on here? What happened in the meantime?

Speaking of this story, we have to introduce the two protagonists of this article, the great man and Xiao Yu. When it comes to Xiao Yu, you may not be so familiar with it, but when it comes to Xiao Zisheng, it must be an epiphany. Xiao Zisheng is Xiao Yu. He and the great man were taught by his teacher Yang Changji at the same time, and Yang Changji became one of his favorite students.

Yang Changji has publicly stated that among so many students he has taught, only three people are most admired, namely Xiao Yu, the Great Man and Cai Hesen. Xiao Yu, 1894, a native of Hunan. Although she is younger than that great man, she is three years older than that great man. He was smart and studious since childhood, and his grades were among the best.

Xiao Yu's article is well written, and Yang Changji also extracts the sentences in the article for him to enjoy slowly in his spare time. Not only that, Xiao Yu's writing style is also good, and he is a rare talent. 19 14 years, the great man and Xiaoyu became alumni, plus they were fellow villagers, and soon became friends.

As we all know, great men also wrote excellent articles. They had different but similar views on the situation in China at that time, so they were almost inseparable except for class. In their spare time, the two of them often discuss state affairs together to find ways to save the country for the Chinese nation.

Compared with great men, Xiao Yu is a moderate reformist. He believes that China can revitalize China through reform. But this great man is an out-and-out revolutionary. He believes that only revolution can save China. Different views can spark ideas, and two people will not affect their friendship because of different views.

19 17 In the summer, the great man invited Xiao Yu to study together and went to Ningxiang, Yiyang and other five counties for a field trip to learn about the local basic situation. At that time, their clothes were quite abstinent. The two men were dressed in shabby clothes and had no money with them. Their food, clothing, housing and transportation depend on the help of others, and it is very hard along the way.

Along the way, although the material conditions were poor, they also saw many things that they could not touch at ordinary times and saw many places of interest. During this journey, they got spiritual satisfaction. When they came to Ningxiang, it was getting late and they came to an ancient temple.

It is said that this ancient temple has a long history and is famous in the local area, so they want to spend the night here. It is said that the owner here is a very talented old monk, so Xiao Yu and the big shots want to be strong. The two of them specially wrote a thank-you letter to the old monk to give them a chance to meet him.

The two men stood in front of the old monk, who gave them a look and accurately named the big man and Xiaoyu. Both of them were surprised. Although the name was written on the post, how did the old monk know who was who?

Seeing their doubts, the old monk said, "The words are like people, and you can see your two personalities from the handwriting of the post." . After listening to this, the great man and Xiao Yu knew it well and admired the old monk very much. The three of them had a long discussion in the temple, and everyone had a good time. On the third day, they were ready to leave.

I always stop them when they turn away. He first asked Xiaoyu if he would like to stay in the temple and spend the rest of his life here. Xiao Yu was puzzled to hear this sentence. He politely refused the old monk. He said that his ambition is not here, there are still many things unfinished, and he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life here.

Hearing this, the old monk expressed some disappointment: I'm afraid it's hard for you to stay in China in the future. Then the old monk turned to the great man and asked him a question: "benefactor Mao, what do you think of Buddhism?" Faced with this problem, the great man said that religion is only a means for rulers to rule the people.

The old monk then asked, "So how did Buddhism spread in China for thousands of years?" The great man thought for a moment and said, "This is the belief of the people, so it is preserved." After hearing this answer, the old monk was silent for a while. He looked at the great man and said that the survival of Buddhism in the future depends on you. Neither of them understood what the old monk meant, but the old monk didn't want to say anything more.

After leaving the temple, both of them gained a lot. But I didn't expect that the two words that the old monk said to them were all fulfilled. Great men joined the revolution after studying abroad, believed in Marxism and joined the * * * production party. As mentioned above, the improvement of Xiao Yu's introduction doomed him to take a different path from the great man.

Xiao Yu went abroad to study soon after studying abroad and worked for the Kuomintang after returning home. It's a pity that these two former friends finally became enemies. Xiao Yu's firm belief in anarchism has not changed even after the fall of the Kuomintang. From 65438 to 0949, Xiao Yu went to Taiwan Province Province with the Kuomintang, and later went to Uruguay to spend the rest of her life.

The departure of friends has become a great pain in the hearts of great men, and they will never see each other again for the rest of their lives. Another prediction of the old monk was later confirmed. Although great men are materialists, they also know that many people believe in religion. Therefore, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, great men adopted a policy of not advocating or attacking religion, so that religion could continue to develop in China.

For these two predictions, it is impossible to judge whether they are true or not, but the experience of studying abroad must be true. It is said that in 1956, the great man once told the local staff to take good care of the temple. For a great man, this temple bears the memories of him and his friends and is a memorable place.

It must be a great pity for a great man that his former friends finally parted ways. If Xiao Yuqing can also embark on the road of greatness, it would be great. Unfortunately, it is inevitable that their friendship will come to an end.
