It has been more than 20 years since they met each other, knew each other and became brothers.
Brother Cong is from Shandong, the same age as me, he has a bold temperament, is sincere, and vicious like hatred. He has lived and worked at the bottom of society for a long time, and deeply feels the hardships of the lives of the people at the bottom. He is usually very concerned about social dynamics, and in the face of the West's suppression of us, he is extremely angry and often writes articles to criticize it. When faced with some social darkness and injustice in China, he often sighed in his heart, ashamed of himself as a civilian, powerless to change, and secretly hurt himself; When I see some beggars on the street or fundraisers who have no money due to illness, compassion arises spontaneously, and they often pour out their money to help. For this reason, he has also been deceived by some people with ulterior motives, but he does not think so.
When Brother Cong was in his hometown, he was a member of the people's teacher team, and the teachers educated countless people, and later went south to Guangzhou for development due to family reasons. In Guangzhou, an international metropolis, he is just an ordinary worker, with ordinary work, not to mention any achievements, but he has experienced the impermanence of life and read the warmth and coldness of people. He once said to me: "A person can have little money, it doesn't matter if he is poor, but he can't be spineless, I never give in to the powerful, I must have a bottom line in life, and the spirit of personality is the most important." I have always admired and admired my brother, you are my idol! "Brother Cong is very modest, and I agree with his views.
Although his work is hard, he always loves life and faces everything optimistically. What is commendable is that he has always been full of passion and insisted on the creation of poetry and songs. Over the past few decades, he has written more than 1,000 essays and poems with feelings; Usually on WeChat with some well-known experts and professors in the domestic cultural circles to communicate, for them to comment on the poems is innumerable, this interactive exchange has never stopped, because of his analysis in simple terms, to the point, the author's recognition, many well-known professors through the exchange have become his bosom friends. Today, he is a veritable and socially renowned freelance poet. During the Spring Festival, several poems he created, such as "Deeply Loving the Blue Sky in Yangcheng in February" and "Towards the Road to God", were included and published by the Chongqing government-run publication "Chongqing Art Garden", and sent the article **WeChat to me for appreciation. Back to the point, let's talk about his "Duxin Zhai!"
Duxin Zhai" plaque is the title of Brother Congsheng years ago. He said, "I'm a fool by nature, I can't brag, so I'm not good at getting married." In his spare time, he is often alone in his spare time, facing nothing but ancient books and ancient books. The ancients wrote ancient books and poems, admired themselves alone, and became disciples of the ancients! In the present time, people's hearts are not ancient. However, when communicating with the ancients, I was not deceived, there were fewer disputes, there were no troubles, and when I read the emotional place, my heart was in touch, as if there was divine help. Friendship with the ancients, calm mind and leisure like water, Yu should be relieved! "
Words are the voice of the heart. Yu thought that this should be the style of a literati, and Brother Cong Sheng did this.
