Chapter 86 compassion

Someone asked Wen Yiduo: "How do you love the people?" He replied with a heavy tone: "I love you from the heart, and when you are with the suffering people, you don't feel that they are dirty when the lice crawl on you. This is a very painful thing, because most of us were born to exploit others, but we must reform our own thinking." In Kunming, Wen Yiduo lived upstairs of a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine named Yao, and the two families got along quite harmoniously.Only the landlady, the old lady, often abused her maid, He Hua. Every time she heard He Hua's screams, she couldn't bear it, and rushed downstairs to dissuade her.Back upstairs, he continued to condemn: "It's outrageous! It's outrageous!"

Once, Wen Yiduo and He Shanzhou went to the village to visit a farmer.This is an abjectly poor household, the house is completely desolate, the man is not at home, the woman is yellow and emaciated, with scanty clothes, and the children are naked and skinny.The woman told Wen Yiduo that they hadn't eaten for several days.Facing such a tragic scene, Wen felt very heavy and was speechless for a long time. When he was in Kunming, Wen Yiduo once saw the strong men of the Kuomintang army: those strong men were tied by ropes and walked on the road in a string, and some of them fell down and died while walking.When Wen saw an officer beating a soldier, he stepped forward and reprimanded him, "You yourself have parents and brothers, don't you have any humanity?" As a result, the officer cursed and kicked the soldier even more viciously.Wen was very angry, and after returning home, he was still resentful. His wife persuaded him, why bother, Wen Yiduo said, "It's not your son, don't be sad!"

In a certain class, when Wen Yiduo was explaining Du Fu's "The Officials in the Stone Trench", he told the students what he had seen and heard: his family lived in the suburbs of Kunming, and the nearby Kuomintang army tricked more than 20 people who came here under the guise of watching a movie. The peasants were all tied up and became strong men, and they jumped up and down for a while, crying straight to the sky.A company of troops was stationed in Kunhua Middle School. A soldier was abandoned due to illness during the march. The soldier was desperate and committed suicide by jumping into a well. After being picked up, everyone shed tears around the corpse.Hearing and talking, wept bitterly, and asked angrily: "Why are we more miserable now than when Du Fu wrote "Shiyu Officials" after more than a thousand years?" "What is this 'National Army'? It's a bandit! No, it's worse than a bandit!"

I heard that Ziwen Lidiao's good friend Zhuang, who lives in Nanyang, was unable to send him living expenses due to the interruption of transportation and communication during the Anti-Japanese War. Wen Lidiao asked his father to bear part of Zhuang's living expenses.At that time, the Wen family's life was difficult. Wen Yiduo did not agree at first, but after discussing with his wife, he agreed to his son's request.After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Wen family was preparing to return to Beijing. At this time, Zhuang had not been in touch with his family. Wen Lidiao asked Zhuang to live in his home temporarily, and decided to let Zhuang return to Beijing with him, and asked his father to bear the burden of Zhuang. air ticket.Wen Yiduo, who had a difficult life, thought over and over again, and once again agreed to his son's request.However, he was assassinated before he could raise the air ticket money for his family back to Beijing.
