Chapter 2 foreword

What is edited and printed in this collection is not ordinary letters from home. ? Lei said in his letter to ? Cong: "Writing you a long letter is not empty chatter, not inexplicable gossip, but has several functions. First, I really regard you as an opponent who discusses art and music; second, extremely I want to stimulate some of your young people's feelings, let me as a father get some fresh nourishment, and at the same time spread it to other young people indirectly; thirdly, train you through correspondence—not only your writing, but especially your thinking Fourth, I want to be a wake-up call at all times and everywhere, and be a "faithful mirror", no matter in terms of life, details of life, artistic accomplishment, and performance posture." The affection that runs through the entire family letter , is to let the son know the honor and disgrace of the country, the dignity of art, be able to treat everything with a serious attitude, and be an "artist with both moral and artistic skills and outstanding personality".
