The kind teacher is like the father (2)
Mr. Ni insists on seeing me off. Can't decline, have to push the bicycle for him, have a chat while walking. We walk to Chang'an Avenue along the red wall of Zhongshan Park, stroll to the south gate in the park again, he is not willing to advise him to go back several times. Under the sunshine, I find his gait already a bit slow, a looks shows too that old, it is no longer a in the past energetic appearance.
Until passing by Tian An-men, he did not halt and say, " please go, it is tired to work usually, look after one's health. "
I have left. Turn one's head several times, he still stands in the field of wind, lets the front pieces of Chinese jacket shake with the wind, like a flag.
Receiving the telephone of office for incoming and outgoing mails in the unit a few days later, Mr. Ni had been here, had sent a box and a letter here originally, change the good contract and place in envelope, there are two spectacular rocky peaks in the box - -He knows I like the stone.
Later on I make a phone call to him: "Mr. Ni, that contract, originally as myself went to fetch, put to the trouble of you to send here in person, really feel sorry. Why do not you drop in office by the way? "
"You are busy, I do not bother. The contract is sent over, is afraid of delaying your using. " He answers calmly and gently.
My mind is hot. For my contract, on so cold a day, let an old man at seventy years of age ride a bicycle and get to Dongcheng from Xicheng alone unexpectedly. Suddenly remembered that went to the lawyer's office to walk hastily that day, even a small present was never brought to him.
Soon, he pass on through office for incoming and outgoing mails one package give I, inside one gentle volume, one seal and a letter that mount meticulously. Opening the letter to read at once, Mr. Ni wrote, he had already read the article one by one, some had also commented on. He says: "See your article each time, it is very glad in the heart, must write more if having time. " Say again, " does not stamp well, not moving the knife for a long time, hands have been grown. There are good stones later, carve one party and see you off separately. " Open the gentle volume, it was some articles that I published unexpectedly, that bright and clean and moist seal, engraving my name in character. Husband see me hold letter, gentle volume and seal stare flankly, gather in the past thinking, say for a good while: "Your teacher is right that's very kind of you. "
Write here, remembers that has not seen Mr. Ni for a long time, always speak busily, the telephones are all seldom made, write a letter once in a while, that was talked most is oneself too. Make open one telephone hurriedly, know Mr. Ni still busy, he answer to write article in quality-oriented education nearly one magazine, hear it is me, extremely glad. I know he would like to hear about student most. Remembered he has talked about some and become the celebrity's students in a letter, spent a lot of energies of his too as a child, make good nowadays, seem not to already remember one's own teacher. That letter is written very sentimentally, it is disappointed to reveal some between lines.
Teachers and students are like the father and son (woman) . The teacher only pay, and does not ask reciprocating to students. If students are famous, can not consider his teacher worth doing, it would be better to become a ordinary person. I wish world become student, no matter work become famous or lead a vain and humdrum life, forget to impart knowledge and educate people, expect students promising all one's life, take a sniff at the teacher of the chalk foam all one's life by but oneself.
Though the ideal of boyhood has already faded, I am nowadays still doing all one can to strive, even if only in order to reciprocate the kind teacher.
See people through the mat
Zhou Ming, vice manager of Modern Chinese Literature hall, calls, invites gentleman and me to participate in the party of a party of township of Shaanxi, congratulate on Chen Zhongshi " whether white deer former " obtain Mao Dun Literature Awards. A dumpling hall near six mouths of Xidan in the place, the boss is from Shaanxi too.
I am not a native in Shaanxi, the time that I stay in Shaanxi can be longer yet than a lot of traditional people in Shaanxi. Just because of this, make me very difficult to get rid of that kind of loess complex, regard oneself as old Shan. When we reach, the parlor has already been occupied" the independent section of country " . Wonder how much the fellow-villager in Shaanxi in the capital is to rush, always think the person that brings up on that stretch of yellow land is very apt to become a cultural elite. Take a broad view and look up and down, there are little ones that have seen, there are many ones that do not know, two beautiful ladies are exactly distributing the business card as dealing out the cards. I do not have a business card, there is just to make up the number disliking, look for a corner to sit down, just see people.
The most familiar in the guest, and we are Zheng XinMiao for many years of the neighbor, the Palace Museum president. The same tube-shaped apartment lived in when being in Xi'an that year, opposite obliquely; Occupy Fangzhuang after coming to Beijing, face each other through the street; Move to the southern city recently, it is a near neighbour. Mr. Zheng is taken as officers, and concurrently engage in scholarship, write books such as " culture criticizing and national character criticism ",etc., study very much about Lu Xun.
Noticeable Chen Zhongshi sits and talks with people aside inconspicuously, the sound is low and low, sight is deep and serene, hung pondering on the face, happiness and Ju that can not be obtained after the award at all are proud. My impression of him just looks like the soulstirring one " the white deer is original ", it is very thick, very pure.
When people will be here, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou Ming is late. Mr. Zhou and we are the most familiar, he is considerate and warmhearted, popularity is extremely good, is a literary world swordsman. Because I like to get the writing in free time, often ask for advice to him, so with " teacher " Breathe out it. Each meeting, he always reminds and encourages I to write more, make me often fastidious but incompetent for oneself, only say and does not practise and feel deeply ashamed.
Mr. Zhang Qi, vice-president of Chinese Writer Association, shows up on a special trip too, congratulates Chen Zhongshi. Read one in the past and carved works, always feel a kind of great air was agitated among the characters, people if it is gentle, Mr. Zhang's stature is gigantic, dignified in appearance. It is said because his feature is exactly like Mao Zedong, pay a visit abroad some time, is required to take a group photo enclosing by the staff member of local market unexpectedly.
Very active drawing in brush style during the feast, is a writer of Shaanxi that is making the noise out in the literary world constantly too. His " desolate youth " and " experience at yesterday ", in the capacity of onlooker, scrutinized the educated youth of Beijing who jumped the quene in the north of Shanxi Province that year at short range, reveal a kind of moving humane concern. It's a pity I have not read his more works.
" disturb soil " and " official people " go out of within the Pass old village present even. Taciturn, the accent is extremely bad. He seems to be a very deep odd person influenced by China's traditional culture. I have only read one of his book, absolute loess flavor.
Face each other through the mat, there is the editing to Tian ZhenYing reputably of BJ Press. Elder sister Tian is that I have known for a long time, the person who has been wanting to know all the time, it's a pity that did not know unexpectedly it was her at that time, have not asked people to introduce, miss the chance.
Outside the the scholar, another enlivens personages, specialize in luck of young photographer Wei De of famous cultural talent's photography. Although Xiao Wei people are a little bit overbearing, say again and again, the film is really shot beautifully. He is good at catching the bearing in personages' twinkling of an eye, will especially use up, the angle is extremely beautiful too. One which I like most is Mr. Ji Xianlin's portrait. In front of always desk did not sit up straight in season on the picture, a white cat jumps down from his shoulder, it is quiet to move, dark, the lens language is consummate. And the weapon of the photography family expenses, was a domestic old " gull " unexpectedly . A fan says, you can take the fine photo with this kind of machine on the spot, we should really jump out of the building.
Seeing persons, listening to chatting about of one night, eyes ears do not have leisure. I be fond of teaching othersed too always in fact, but all the teacher's occasion in people, the cleverest method is silence. Unfortunately, " help the brother " in two Shaanxi where another party realizes ,Writer Yan Gang and poet Ray express the wild goose without showing up, otherwise can see, audible more.
While cheering finally, the old village says, " the white deer is original " a satisfactory full stop was drawn for the Chinese literary world of the 20th century. |
