Liang Shuming, a well-respected and well-known figure of modern times, may not be familiar to many people. He is the representative of "the last Confucian in China". His life experience is quite interesting, he lived to be 94 years old, and even meditated peacefully under the rain of bullets, unscathed, he is really a miraculous person.
At the age of six, he began to study, but did not obtain a high degree and only had a secondary school diploma. It is not easy for this six-year-old man who has been involved in the world but does not know pants to be personally invited by Cai Yuanpei to teach Indian philosophy at Peking University.
Liang Shuming is famous for his Confucianism, but he loves the Buddhist way of life, and now he is a pioneer of a rather "Buddhist" life. From his twenties until the end of his life, his diet was all vegetarian except for eggs and milk. This choice not only did not cause problems, but made him healthier.
During the Anti-Japanese War, he ran a school in Chongqing to fight against the pseudo-**. Therefore, the big spy Shen Zui led his subordinates to investigate Liang Shuming. He was undaunted, and even told the big spy that if the other party did not repent, he would reprimand them in the future. He was a man who dared to speak out, and he did not hesitate to ridicule the spy incident at that time, and even asked them if they had a third bullet, looking forward to his fate. This old man is not only articulate, but also tenacious in life.
In 1942, when Hong Kong fell, he was undaunted and sat still in the midst of a hail of bullets, urging him to flee, but he stood still. He was convinced that his great business was unfinished and therefore would not die. Sure enough, he was unscathed, and everyone was amazed.
He was also present when Tangshan was a big **. At the time, people fled in fear, but because he was a celebrity, he attracted attention. After several persuasions from the neighborhood committee, he reluctantly camped on the grass at the back door of his house. However, the incident did no harm to him.
He lived a simple life and didn't value money. In the forties of the last century, he had financial difficulties in running the school, and he had to pay for the school himself. Eventually, he even sold his wife's wedding ring to finance his school. When he ran schools in Chongqing, Guilin and other places, he accepted many poor students and tried his best to help them. Some of them are engaged in the pro-democracy movement, which he actively supports. At that time, some students**, he did his best to protect, which also preserved a lot of progressive ideas for the country.
His monthly income was 300 yuan, which was not low at the time, but he left almost only enough money for his family, and the rest was used to help his friends in need. He was open-minded, free from money and power**, and fearless of death, and it was this attitude that allowed him to live to be ninety-four years old.
