In 2016, Mr. Yang Jiang, who was praised by Master Qian Zhongshu as "the most virtuous wife and the most talented woman", passed away peacefully at the age of 105. Yang Jiang's fate is full of ups and downs, going through the war era, surviving special periods, and encountering the death of relatives ......However, throughout his life, Mr. was always indifferent and elegant. "Look back at the place where the eagle was shot, thousands of miles of twilight clouds". Mr. Yang Jiang's ability to reach the transcendent realm is closely related to her perspective on life. In Chinese landscape painting, there is a theory of "three distances":If you look at the heights, you can get the "momentum of Kaohsiung";If you look deeper, you can get the "momentum of indulgence";Looking at the flat place, you can get the "majestic momentum". The perspective of looking at things determines the height of life.

Yang Jiang was born in a scholarly family and has a deep family history. When she was a teenager, she was obsessed with reading and studied Chinese and English books diligently, which also laid a solid foundation for her future creative career. When the father saw that his daughter was so bookish, he asked her, "What if you are not allowed to study for three days?"Yang Jiang replied: "It will be difficult." The father continued, "What about the week?"She said"It's been a week in vain. ”After that, no matter how turbulent the current situation was, no matter how hard life was, Yang Jiang always calmed down and continued to create. During the Anti-Japanese War, she concentrated on writing the script "Satisfactory", which was all the rage, and then she was active on the stage for decades and prosperedIn the 50s, in order to translate Don Quixote, she first studied Spanish for four years before she started to work. Especially in his later years, Yang Jiang worked tirelessly, became the oldest on the list of writers at that time. 92-year-old Yang Jiang, buried the first to make "We", extremely warm and nostalgic, published after the best-selling nations;However, Yang Jiang was not disturbed by the world, and after four years of retreat, he published a book "Walking to the Edge of Life", which is of great artistic and ideological value. In addition to his own creations, Yang Jiang also devoted himself to sorting out the tens of thousands of pages of manuscripts left by Qian Zhongshu, making them orderly and leaving valuable assets for the cultural world.

Buddhism says: control the heart in one place, and do nothing. Work and study need to have the spirit of nails, focus on one position, and drill deeper. Master Li Ao once talked about the sophistication of learning: "There are many things in human society, things that need a lot of time to accumulate, so it is very important to work hard." "If you don't want to spend time and energy, and only learn one and a half tricks, you may be able to be blinded for a while, but if you go deeper, you will reveal your original form and fall behind.

The appearance is always easy to obtain, and the rich connotation must be studied deeply.

In the turbulent times, Yang Jiang was condemned as a "reactionary academic authority" and was in a difficult situation. As a cultural master, she was punished for cleaning toilets, hanging humiliating signs, shaving "yin and yang heads", and forced to be separated from her husband for a long time. Even after all the hardships, Mr. Yang Jiang remained very quiet. She did not accept money borrowed from her friends, and encouraged him: "In the future, take care of your health."Be patient, calm, and strong. I don't need this money, you can use it to buy some necessities!The dust of the times, Yang Jiang calmly faced it, jumped out of the current predicament with a lofty vision, and sought the future from the perspective of looking down on time. And in the face of family pain, she behaved the same. When Yang Jiang was 86 years old, fate still did not treat her well. "We" were crushed by the claw-wielding disease, leaving Yang Jiang alone. First, the only daughter Qian Yuan died of illness, and the white-haired person sent the black-haired person;The following year, Qian Zhongshu, who had been with her for more than 60 years, also left her. Yang Jiang, who lost his two beloved loves in this life and suffered heavy blows one after another, is sad and no one can understand.

When his friend went to visit Yang Jiang, who was sitting in an empty house, he couldn't help crying. However, Yang Jiang comforted his friend in turn and said: "I've let it go, why are you still so sad." ”In his later years, Mr. Yang Jiang turned grief into faith, was calm and calm, and concentrated on learning. If suffering comes to the door and cannot be avoided, do not be seduced and intimidated by it. Stand taller and see farther, and you will find that suffering is just a floating cloud, which cannot cover the bright sun and moon ahead. Life is like chess, if you are temporarily at an impasse, you might as well jump out of the present, raise your horizons, look at the whole game, maybe a new game will begin. It will be the top of the mountain, a glance at the mountains, climb high to see far away, and the vision determines the realm. Therefore you will understand that people who are not on the same level as you do not have to go with you;The current predicament that has plagued you for a long time, but Erer.

Yang Jiang had a friend who acted as a critic of her during the special period, which caused Yang Jiang to suffer physically and mentally. It didn't take long for this friend to be criticized himself, lose his job, and be imprisoned. And in his family, there is still an old father who is sick in bed, and his life is unsustainable. It may not be advisable for the "enemy" to fall into trouble, but it is also human nature to look on coldly. But after Yang Jiang found out, he completely put aside his grievances and used his meager income to help his friend's family. Mr. Yang Jiang's wisdom in life is an inexhaustible book, which is reflected in the magnificent layout of the plot and the subtle words.

Yang Jiang and Qian Zhongshu raised a loving cat "Huahua", and the couple took care of it and loved it very much. Neighbors Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng also have a cat, which relies on his strength and often bullies Huahua. Qian Zhongshu saw the pain in his eyes and heart, and he recklessly made a long bamboo pole to protect Huahua. Whenever he hears Huahua's screams, he rushes out and fights with a bamboo pole, even in the middle of the night in the cold winter. After Yang Jiang knew about this, he persuaded him with a smile: "If you beat a dog, you have to see the owner's face, and if you beat a cat, you have to see the housewife's face, after all, it is Huiyin's cat." Qian Zhongshu stopped there. Yang Jiang said: "If people don't have a pattern, their hearts will be trivial. ”The mind shows the future, and the pattern dominates the ending. The people of the big picture have their own filter, which purifies many disturbances, grievances, and disputes, and extracts calmness and abundance. Confined to one side, it can only be limited to half an acre of stagnant pond;With a distant mind, it will flow like a great river.

Mr. Yang Jiang once said: "We were so eager for the waves of fate, only to find in the end that the most beautiful scenery in life is actually the calmness and calmness of the heart." We have been so anxious for recognition from the outside world, only to realize in the end that the world is our own and has nothing to do with others. ”The key to the scenery of life is what angle you choose to view. Look deeper, keep your feet on the ground, and seek the mystery of knowledge;Look up, look up at the starry sky, and look forward to the brightness of the future;Looking at the flat place, the sea embraces all rivers and washes away the complexity of the world. Life is a sea of ups and downs, winds and waves, negligence and changeability. But no matter what kind of situation you face or what position you fall into, as long as you grasp these three perspectives, you can triumph all the way and live a calm life.
