Chapter 130 mild

In Beiping in the 1920s, Liang Shuming gave a lecture on "The Human Heart and Life", and he charged a fee, one yuan per listener.This idea was thought up by Liang Shuming himself.He believes that the purpose of charging a small fee is "to really want people to come to listen, or to pay attention to it because they have spent money, otherwise people will inevitably sit down and not really interested in listening." But he is also afraid that some students have no money, saying that they have no money Candidates can write to him, and he can send a coupon for attending lectures.A student named Tang Junyi "was threatened by a spirit and did not dare to listen."One night, Tang Junyi received five yuan from Liang Shuming who asked someone to bring him.Because Liang suspected that Tang had no money, he didn't listen.Tang Junyi, the person involved, felt ashamed and reconciled when recalling the incident in his later years.

In the 1940s, when he was running schools in Chongqing and Guilin, Liang Shuming accepted many poor students with the purpose of "obtaining the best talents from all over the world and educating them".He knows that some teachers and students are engaged in democracy and student movements, and he is willing to protect them.When the students were arrested, he ran around, appealed, and released the arrested Communist Party members and progressive students on bail.According to the memories of those involved, the Mianren Kingdom at that time became the "protective umbrella" and "refuge" of the democratic movement.

Liang Shuming was good at giving, and often helped some friends and juniors in need.In the early days of liberation, his monthly salary was 300 yuan, and he only left about 100 yuan for his family. The rest was used to help friends who were helpless because of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases.His way of thinking is very unique. Don't pay back the money you give, but you must pay back the money borrowed from him.A friend forgot to return it, so he went to collect the debt.His point of view is "you can be with them, you can not be with them, and it hurts the beneficiary." Liang reminded those who have escaped from the predicament to repay the loan, the purpose is to give charcoal to other friends who are still in trouble.

Yuan Hongshou wrote Liang Shuming: Mr. Liang is kind, upright, and willing to help others. We are absolutely beyond our reach. During the "Cultural Revolution", I was only given 9 yuan a month for living expenses during the most difficult period. Liang Lao heard about it and refused to let me turn to my wife for help.He said: "Women can't be stimulated, how much do you need?" I said: "I can't quit smoking, I still need 14 yuan a month." He immediately gave me 28 yuan.He added: "I usually don't cultivate enough. Now that there are so many unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, I still feel a sense of injustice."

In his later years, suffering from the constant stream of visitors, Liang Shuming had to personally write a note saying "Admonish visitors" for his health.It said: "Shuming is ninety-two this year, and his energy is declining. Please limit the conversation to one and a half hours. If you have something to say, you can continue the conversation at another day. I respect this petition. I hope you will forgive me. Fortunately." People with a heart judged from the color and handwriting of the characters that the word "half" in "one and a half hours" was added later.It can be said that "a man of benevolence and righteousness speaks kindly."

Liang Shuming is approachable.Whenever someone begs, as long as he thinks it is reasonable, he will never get bored.Reply letters are not faked by others, even in his twilight years, when he is unable to reply for a while, he will mark "pending reply" on the unanswered letters.He greeted uninvited guests from all over the world, no matter how old or young they were, or whether they were high or low. At the opening ceremony of the "Liang Shuming International Symposium", he was 91 years old.Most of the speakers sat and spoke, but he stood for 15 minutes. The host asked him to sit down three times, but he refused.
