** period, there was a versatile talent, he was both a monk and a layman, both rigorous and relaxed. His identity is foreign, but he has a talent for poetry and painting, and when he was 12 years old, he ran to the temple to shave his monk because of a moment of indignation.
He had strong patriotic feelings, made friends with revolutionary aspirants, and devoted himself to the revolutionary cause. He once wore a monk's robe and went shopping in the brothel of the Qinglou. He is a mixture of contradictions, sometimes weak-willed, sometimes uninhibited.
His special background, his upbringing-up experience was tortuous, and he was deeply influenced by the environment of the times in which he lived, which made him become"Love to go to extremes"。He can drink 6 catties of ice water in one go, or he can eat 50 buns all the time, and he can even chew 6 catties of candy in a row.
However, this unrestrained lifestyle of his often made him sick and hospitalized.
Some people say that after recovering from illness, they will understand the importance of physical maintenance. However, this wayward genius ignored the doctor's advice, and continued to eat and drink as he pleased, just to be happy.
In the end, he died suddenly due to overeating at the age of 35. This willful young talent is the "poet monk" Su Manshu, who experienced many tragedies in his life when he was young.
His family background was also complicated, his father was a Cantonese businessman, and his mother was the younger sister of his father's Japanese concubine. His life was full of unknowns and confusion.
Due to Kawairuo's status is not high and he is Japanese, if he returns to the Su family in Guangdong, the situation of the mother and son will definitely be quite embarrassing. So, Kawaira decided to leave his son in the care of his sister, and never saw Su Manshu again.
In Su Mansion, Su Manshu, who had just learned to walk, was often teased and ridiculed by his older siblings, and his aunt Ha Hexian heard the children of the Su family shouting "wild children" to Su Manshu more than once.
In order for Sumanshu to live a slightly better life, Kawai Sen-sen temporarily sent him to his parents' house in Yokohama, Japan, so Sumanshu lived with his grandparents in Japan as a child.
Later, because of the ratio of men and women among the younger generation, the Su family took 6-year-old Su Manshu back to Guangdong from Japan.
In the Su family's mansion, Su Manshu's life was not all smooth sailing. Since Jaishankar often goes out to do business, he is unable to take care of the growth of his children. His father had many concubines, but they were all very harsh on the little mixed-race boy who had no one to take care of.
They looked down on Sumanshu's mother and even allowed their children to mock and insult him. What's more, these concubines often don't let their servants bring little Manshu to the table to eat, so Su Manshu has tasted the pain of not having his parents to protect him since he was a child.
When he was 12 years old, Su Manshu contracted malaria, but the Su family was indifferent and ruthless, and instead of asking a doctor to do it for him, they threw him into a cold firewood room and forbade servants to bring him food and water.
Although the adults wanted Sumanshu to fend for himself, God did not abandon him. His cousin-in-law, Liu, was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to watch him die of illness, so she secretly sent him to the Chinese medicine doctor by car**, so that he could escape from the hands of death and gradually**.
Su Manshu's unfortunate experience in childhood made him see through the joys and sorrows of the world early on, and the ruthlessness of human nature. Therefore, when he returned to Su's house after **, he became even more reticent and lonely.
It may be that because he has never been cared for by his loved ones, he has never known the warmth of family affection, which makes his character full of gloom and pain, which is also the source of his extreme insecurity throughout his life.
* During the period, the poet monk Su Manshu experienced the bizarre experience of "becoming a monk three times and returning to the world three times". All of this started with a chance in 1896. At that time, an old monk came to Su's house to make a fortune, and Su Manshu was attracted by the tolerance and peace of Buddhism, the goodness and wisdom of Buddhism described by this old monk, and suddenly felt a spiritual relief.
The next day, he followed the old monk to the Six Banyan Temple in Guangzhou and settled down. However, Su Manshu is still a naughty child at heart. During the Qing Dynasty, he always caused trouble, and even stole meat once, violating the rules and precepts of the temple.
Despite this, Sumanshu still could not let go of his yearning and pursuit of Buddhism. He became a monk three times, returned to the world three times, and finally found his true self on the road of life.
The abbot expelled Sumanshu from the Temple of the Six Banyan Trees because he had become a monk without permission. This short experience as a monk gave Sumanshu a keen interest in Buddhism. A year later, Su Manshu was brought to Shanghai by his father, hoping that he could study foreign language and culture at a church school Chinese prepare to become his business helper in the future.
Brilliant and passionate about church school life, Sumanshu quickly mastered the essence of English, Japanese, and Chinese. At the age of 15, Su Manshu was sent by his father to Japan for further study, where he met Chen Duxiu.
They became friends and together translated Victor Hugo's Les Misérables.
With his extraordinary linguistic talents, Sumanshu taught himself Sanskrit, French, and German, and accumulated a deep knowledge of linguistics, which laid a solid foundation for him to become a literary generalist.
While studying in Japan, he found his aunt Kawaisen's residence in the countryside, where he experienced the living environment of his aunt and mother many times. During this time, he meets Kikuko, an innocent, kind, beautiful and lovely Japanese girl, and has a subtle development of his feelings for her.
However, since it was not socially acceptable for unmarried girls to come into contact with men at that time, Kikuko was regarded by the villagers"Bad girl with bad character"。A few days later, tragedy struck - Kikuko committed suicide by jumping into the river in despair after being reprimanded and beaten by her parents.
Kikuko's death had a huge psychological impact on Su Manshu, and in addition to the unbearable pain, he even considered relieving his spiritual pain by becoming a monk. Soon after, Su Manshu packed his bags and left Japan, returned to Guangzhou, and became a monk at Pujian Monastery in Baiyun Mountain.
However, his ability to control his emotions is clearly underestimated. A few months later, although the grief of losing Kikuko gradually subsided, it was difficult to resist his longing for the world of red dust.
So, he began to sneak out of the temple and dabble in the brothel to explore a new life and scenery. In the end, under the kind persuasion of the director of Pujian Temple, he decided to return to Japan to continue his unfinished studies.
In 1902, the young Su Manshu joined the "Youth Association", a patriotic revolutionary group of Chinese students, in Japan, and from then on, it became his firm belief to overthrow the decadent and declining Qing Dynasty.
As a revolutionary youth, after getting acquainted with Huang Xing, Zhang Taiyan, Sun Yat-sen and others, Su Manshu deeply felt that the heavy responsibility of the revolution on his shoulders was extremely heavy. He actively propagated revolutionary ideas, attended rallies, made speeches, and made many efforts for the revolutionary cause.
However, the road of revolution was full of twists and turns and difficulties, and many people with lofty ideals did not see the dawn of revolution even if they sacrificed their lives. Watching his familiar friends fall under the enemy's butcher's knife one by one, Su Manshu also began to feel disheartened.
In January 1904, Su Manshu, who was deeply traumatized, chose to become a monk at Haiyun Monastery in Guangzhou. In the beginning, he was determined to concentrate on his spiritual practice and not to get involved in earthly trivialities.
However, at the age of 21, he experienced countless hardships and hardships in the process of turning into a relationship and traveling, and the physical and mental torture shook his already weak willpower again.
So, he began to live a half-monk and half-lay life, wandering between Southeast Asia and Central Asian countries with a bowl and bowl, no matter what food he wanted, he would eat, but he was always a "mortal" who could not completely get rid of the world.
During this period of solo travel, he often accompanied the lonely lamp of pen and ink in the middle of the night, translated Chinese classic poems and ** into English, and translated many Buddhist scriptures in Sanskrit, and brought them back to China.
This is a talented young man who loves literature, and he uses his pen to allow Chinese and Western cultures to communicate and collide. In his long wandering career, he even put on a monk's robe and went to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion to experience the prosperity of the world.
He looked at the women who had fallen into the dust, feeling both their beauty and their helplessness. He is polite with them, admires their beauty, and enjoys his dealings with them.
He is such a "poetic monk" Su Manshu, who happily lives in a world that accepts him, even though this world is full of sensuality and prodigality, which is completely different from the teachings of the Buddhist scriptures.
Sumanshu was a gourmand and a lover of sweets, yet he died early due to overeating. He suffered from hunger as a teenager, so when he grew up, he couldn't stand eating unsaturated food.
He is known for his gluttony, once swallowed 60 buns at one time, and was able to eat more than ten bowls of sweets in a row. On hot summer days, he especially likes to binge drink sweet ice water, which is a habit he developed while studying abroad in Japan.
It is said that he once drank five or six pounds of ice water in one day, so much so that he could not move. Despite this, the next day he was able to binge drink sweet ice water as before.
Su Manshu is a sweet tooth fanatic, and his favorite Japanese candy, he once ate 6 catties in one go. During his stay in Hangzhou, he set an astonishing record of "30 packets of halva".
However, due to his excessive gluttony and lack of moderation, he often had problems with his stomach and intestines. As his condition worsened, he frequently went in and out of the hospital, and the doctor advised him to eat in moderation, eat regularly, and eat less cold and hard sweets, but he did not listen.
In the last years of his life, despite the fact that his body was losing weight day by day, he still had people buy him sugar-fried chestnuts and Japanese sweets.
In the early summer of 1918, Sumanshu was hospitalized with diarrhea. Despite the exhaustion of various methods, doctors have not been able to stop diarrhea. Eventually, Sumanshu died at the age of 35 due to severe digestive disorders and severe dehydration.
After his death, his close friend Chen Duxiu mentioned that Su Manshu hated the filth of the world, but could not find a way out, and could only seek self-acceptance and quick liberation by indulging his own food.
If you think about it, this overdrinking and overeating may be his way of comforting and pampering himself in the real world of lack of love and security.
Because few people really cared for, cared for, and pampered him, he chose to indulge himself so that he could live comfortably and comfortably every day.
After more than 30 years of life, Sumanshu has witnessed the changes of the world, prosperity and failure, joy and sorrow. When he was seriously ill, his departure seemed to be expected, but it made his friends who loved and respected him feel heartache and grief.
Therefore, some people believe that the ** genius Su Manshu has seen through the prosperity and helplessness of the world, he has completed his life path according to his own wishes and ways, ended the suffering of this life with a smile, and obtained the freedom and liberation of the soul.
