Chapter 98 Ai Husheng

Ai Husheng In March, Mr. Liu Xunyu wrote a letter, saying that each other was sick, and it was a hopeless disease. The doctor said that he had to wait for the day.At the end of April, I saw the announcement of the Rieter Institute in "Current Affairs News", and I didn't expect Husheng to die so soon!Later I heard about his illness, it was really miserable; thinking about him, it would not be a bad idea to go early and suffer less.But leaving Lida as a school, this group of friends, this group of students, he must not be reconciled, and he will not rest in peace! What we remember most about Husheng is his attitude towards life.He was originally a pair of brass and iron bones, with black skin against the big cloth clothes, he looked like a countryman.He can suffer all kinds of hardships, but he never knows how to enjoy them, and he is also like a countryman.The fire in his heart is also like a countryman.That mass of fire was heat, force, and light.He doesn't like to talk much, but he often smiles; that smile is natural and warm.In his view, people can love each other, except for those who have deep prejudices and are unwilling to open the window to speak out.He has a bit of hatred for these people, and he refuses to pretend to be a little color.In the world, only those who can hate can love; there is no fixed definition of what to love and what to hate, it is just a useless role.Husheng feels that young people have few prejudices and most hopes; therefore, they are willing to dedicate their lives to them, let the religion of love flourish and grow among them, and let them all go to the new world.It is the true spirit of Confucianism that Husheng is not good at talking, but just burying his head in being his father.I haven't talked to him in depth, but from his behavior, I believe I know him.

Few people can match Husheng's dedication to work.He runs Lida, eats, eats, sits and sleeps, only thinks about Lida, and doesn't think about anything else.Lida was like his lover, his only son.He has a somewhat meek personality, but for Lida's sake, he often goes to see a group of grown-ups, and more often to see those bosses who have money to borrow.He tried his best to raise money for Lida, and he had to travel to Beijing and Nanjing.Once he could have gone abroad.But he couldn't leave Lida behind, so he didn't go.He dedicated his life to Lida, and Lida was his life.He has run Lida for so many years, but not many people know his personal name; he has long forgotten himself.Now his strong body was finally sacrificed for Lida.It is meaningful for him to sacrifice his ideal.It's just that this ideal is just in its infancy; we should all think about it, how can Lida survive?If Lida is not dead, Husheng is actually not dead either.
