Liang Qichao is energetic and full of emotion, and his articles are often written in one go.When he writes articles, he often writes tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of words. He writes for two or three days in a row, and only rests after finishing writing.Once he handed the written manuscript to the students and said with a smile: "You guys played for two days, I finished a book, and now I'm going to sleep." Liang Qichao is short and thin, with a bald head and wide chin, and his eyes are like torches. He likes to wear long robes, and he walks steadily.He was full of energy, which lasted until the end of his life, which is amazing.He stayed up for thirty-four hours without going to bed to rest, and wrote "Dai Dongyuan's Philosophy" with tens of thousands of words.

Liang Qichao likes to gather students to sit around and talk, and the talk will last forever.Liang first talked about literature and art, followed by ancient and modern figures, world trends, and everything inclusive. When he talked about the metaphysics of ghosts and ghosts, everyone smiled and understood that today's conversation is coming to an end. Come on, everyone just rested after eating. Jiang Liangfu recalled that Liang Qichao could "use all five senses together", that is, he could do several things at the same time without being distracted.One day, Jiang went to Liang Qichao's home. Liang Qichao wanted to write couplets, so Jiang asked Jiang to hold the paper for writing couplets.Just as he was about to start writing, Liang Qichao told his assistant, "You go to Mr. Wang's house at nine o'clock tomorrow to deliver a letter." As soon as he wrote two words, his son told him "there is a phone call", and he immediately ordered his son to answer the call. The pen did not stop, talking and writing.The son withdrew, and the family sent a letter recently. He asked the family to read the letter, and he wrote while listening. After listening, he ordered the letter to be careless.The family brought up breakfast again. He looked at it for a while, and then said while writing, don't want something in the breakfast, and add a little more to something.Jiang Liangfu panicked, for fear that he would make a mistake in writing the pair, but he didn't make a single mistake.From this, Jiang Liangfu thought of what the ancients said "use the five sense organs together".

Huang Boyi also recalled Liang Qichao's "use of all five senses". He was writing articles with his right hand while waving his fan with his left hand. Sometimes he was writing while answering students' questions.When he finished writing one, he knocked on the bed and asked his assistant to go to the other room to get the typewritten manuscript from the Chinese typewriter. Before finishing one chapter, the second manuscript was placed on the table again.Huang Boyi felt that the combination of his facial features not only did not make people feel indifferent, but also revealed enthusiasm from his frowns and smiles.

Ma Xiangbo spoke very fast, eloquently and eloquently, and it was difficult for the listeners to record his words. In 1907, Ma gave a speech in Japan. Liang Qichao went to listen to the speech and recorded his speech. Ma was very happy to see it, and often said to people: "Only Liang Qichao can understand my speech, and he can record it exactly. " Liang Qichao fled to Japan and learned Japanese in a very short time. Some spoke for a week, some for more than half a month, and there is another saying that he could master Japanese overnight on the ship.Liang Qichao wrote in the article "On the Benefits of Learning Japanese": "There are ways to learn Japanese, there are ways to write Japanese, and there are ways to learn Japanese. The three should be discussed separately. Learn Japanese for one year. It can be achieved, those who write Japanese can achieve it in half a year, those who learn Japanese can achieve small success in a few days, and great success in a few months."

Liang Qichao said: "Except for sleeping, I don't have a minute or a second that is not active. However, I never feel tired, and I seldom get sick, because my daily activities are very interesting, and my spiritual happiness can make up for it. There is more than enough material consumption.” Liang Qichao lacked fluent eloquence, but his speech was quite touching because of his abundant emotion.Once, Feng Yuxiang invited Liang Qichao to give a speech to the Northwest Army.Liang was excited and eloquent, Feng Yuxiang was moved and burst into tears, and the whole army also cried together.

When he was studying in Tsinghua University, Liang Shiqiu once heard Liang Qichao’s speech "Emotions Expressed in Chinese Verses". Liang Shiqiu recalled that Mr. Liang (Qichao) had rich emotions and strong memory. Poetry", it seems that after a few knocks, the memory will be smooth again. Liang Shiqiu wrote in "A Speech of Mr. Liang Rengong": "Mr.'s speech, when it gets tense, becomes a performance. He really dances with his hands and feet, sometimes covering his face, sometimes stamping his feet, sometimes laughing wildly, sometimes Sigh. Hearing him talk about his favorite, the part of "Emperor Gao, in Jiutian, no matter...", he was so sad that he cried bitterly and couldn't help himself. He took out his handkerchief to wipe his tears, and what he heard I don’t know how many people have tears and stains! I heard him talk about Du Shi’s words, “Suddenly spread outside the sword to collect Jibei, and the clothes were full of tears when I heard it for the first time...”, Mr. really burst out laughing in the exchange of tears .This speech is divided into three parts, each time. Mr. sweating profusely, he looks very happy.... Mr. said that "the pen often has emotion", but in fact, the emotion brought by Mr. speech and speech is unknown. How much stronger!"

Ma Fenghua once recorded: Mr. Wen (Wen Yiduo) gave lectures very much like a "storyteller" telling stories, often telling vividly; Faster and faster.Once he talked about listening to Liang Qichao in Tsinghua University when he was a student, teaching the ancient Yuefu Konghou Yin "Gongwu Crossing the River".He said that Liang Rengong first wrote the ancient poem on the blackboard, then shook his head and recited a sentence: "Gong, Wu, cross, river", and then cheered loudly, shouting "OK"!Then repeat: "gong, wu, cross, river", "good"! "Gong, Jing - crossing, river", "Good"! "Crossing the river—and dying——Dangnai—Grand He!" After admiring, he shouted: "Sicheng, wipe the blackboard, quickly wipe the blackboard!" Sicheng is the son of Ren Gong, and he is also listening in class.The blackboard is wiped, and this ancient poem is finished.When Wen Yiduo told us this anecdote, he turned his head back and forth, his voice became louder and his face turned red.Liang Rengong, whose pen is often full of emotion, may not have been more excited when he recited the harp quotes at Tsinghua University than when Wen Yiduo recounted it to us.After this passionate performance, Mr. Wen lowered his voice, spread his hands, and said, "Master's lecture, that's how it is!"

Liang Shiqiu also recalled this speech: "I remember that he spoke an ancient poem at the beginning, which was quoted by konghou: The public did not cross the river, but the public crossed the river! Crossing the river and dying, what can I do! These four lines and sixteen characters were recited by him. After his explanation, a tragedy was vividly drawn, in which there are beginnings and transitions, plots, backgrounds, characters, and emotions. About twenty years after I listened to Mr.'s speech, I got the chance to wait in Maojindu by chance. The boat crossed the river. But seeing the yellow sand filled the air, the yellow current rolling, and the vast scene, I couldn't help feeling sad from my heart, and immediately remembered this ancient poem spoken by my husband."
