I like money because I haven't suffered from money, I don't know the disadvantages of money, I only know the benefits of money.Zhang Ailing, "Rumors and Money".
Eileen Chang's "Rumors" is a collection of essays full of wisdom and insight. Her unique view of "money" caught my attention in particular. The sentence "I like money, because I have never suffered from money, I don't know the disadvantages of money, I only know the benefits of money." It is not only a straightforward expression of money, but also a deep reflection on life and society.
In the article, Zhang Ailing said bluntly:
As soon as I learned the term "money worship", I insisted that I was a money worshipper.Reading this sentence for the first time, you may feel that Zhang Ailing's attitude towards money is too direct and even a little superficial. But if you taste it carefully, you can find the profound philosophy contained in it. She doesn't simply like money, but she likes the freedom and choice that money can bring.Zhang Ailing, "Rumors and Money".
She is not completely unexperienced with the suffering that comes with money. Although he only said that "although Xiao Ku has experienced some things", he told a story that cannot be forgotten - in order to pay the salary of a piano teacher, he stood in front of the cigarette shop for a long time and did not get an answer.
Therefore, Zhang Ailing's view of money actually reflects her attitude towards life. In her life, she has experienced the rise and fall of the family, the baptism of war, and the sweetness and bitterness of love. These experiences have made her realize that money, while important, is not the whole story of life. She is able to find a balance between money and life, enjoying the convenience brought by money without being trapped by it.
In "Rumors", Zhang Ailing uses her unique brushstrokes to depict the difficulties and difficulties of people in that era. Money plays an important role in this. It is both a goal that people pursue and a source of suffering. Through her own views on money, Zhang Ailing indirectly expressed her criticism and reflection on that era.
At the same time, this sentence also makes us think about our own attitude towards money. Have we lost our love of life because of money? Are you neglecting the people and things around you because of money? Zhang Ailing's words remind us to look at money correctly, not to be trapped by it, to enjoy life, and to cherish the people and things around us.
In general, the "money" section in "Rumors" not only shows Zhang Ailing's unique views on money, but also shows her deep insight into life and society. Her insight not only gave us a deeper understanding of that era, but also gave us a deeper reflection on our own lives.
