Chapter 78 On Genius and Others

(March 2, 2005) Now, facing the changes from winter to spring outside the window, I also want to write my thoughts on genius.Zhang Ailing participated in the composition competition of "Genius Dream", you only need to read the opening paragraph to determine that this woman is a great genius.Lu Xun once wrote an article on genius. Because I was interested in this issue, I read it in a hurry, but now I forget For the most part, he only remembered the beginning, he believed that a suitable environment was needed for the growth of a genius.That's a good point.First of all, I would like to talk about a phenomenon. When adults meet children who are shining in certain specialties, they will praise them, saying: "Little genius! Little genius! Child prodigy!" On other occasions, they will seriously treat children They said: "Don't think what's wrong with you! Beware of arrogance and impetuosity!" I want to ask, who gave those titles to the children? Probably no children really say that they are geniuses every day, adults always say it.And you, in turn, accuse the children of impetuosity and pride.You are the ones who praise, and you are the ones who scold me? Well, now, there is no need for adults to "praise me to the sky" or "swear me to the ground", let me "point out the country" first, and brag about myself!

Among the genius writers born in the 20th century, there is only one woman, Eileen Chang.The man is me, Ziyou.I think there are three points to identify a genius, aside from creation, just look at his words: 1. Most of them don’t pay much attention to the outside world, but pay more attention to their own heart.Two, there will be many people who love them, but they need everyone's tolerance even more.3. The mother has more or less influence in his life, and so does the father, because in the past, the father is generally the one who designs the development path for the children, although geniuses generally do not succumb to this design.I still need evidence to confirm this last point. Zhang Ailing is an example. She has lived in the shadow of her parents all her life; Mozart among musicians is also one. Although he has been separated for a long time, his greatest pleasure is to correspond with his mother and discuss their own farts. experience.And what about his father? I think Mozart's biggest mistake was not living with his father, which led to an insecure life, otherwise he would have lived longer and more securely.Walking on the campus of Peking University today, I went to the bookstore and bought Hu Lanchenghe.In the novel, he looks at geniuses in this way: people with natural interest are geniuses, and everyone is a genius when they are young, but there are fewer geniuses when they grow up.He believes that geniuses can not be restricted by the times and various influences, which is very inspiring to me.

Still continue to talk about Zhang Ailing, Hu Lancheng wrote that she can be extremely moved just because of a beautiful word, ignoring the eyes of others, ostentatiously wearing strange clothes and ostentatiously walking on the street, I can understand it when I see it, because I am like this.We often do not understand and dislike her various behaviors, such as marrying a traitor when she was young, and then marrying an old man with many diseases who has half of her soul ascended to heaven, and finally lived in extreme embarrassment.But we have to tolerate her, because Eileen Chang is completely ignorant of things around her, and she only cares about her own affairs.As she once said to Hu: "I am a selfish person." We often see the stupid side of geniuses, because they pay too much attention to their inner world, which is much richer and more exciting than the world we see.Zhang Ailing clearly wrote about her stupidity in her "Genius Dream".What about me? I wasn't sure if I was mentally handicapped until the onset of the disease.If I write Zhang Ailing, I promise to be different from others.Some people write about her from the perspective of a friend, such as Hu Lancheng; some people regard her as an idol and write about her with adoring eyes.The angles are different, and the feeling of reading is also different.I'm even more special, I'm a genius, I look at a genius, and I talk about her with an equal and kind attitude.It's just that the time is not right now, so we have to wait a little longer.

Eileen Chang has never been very fond of Bing Xin, Bing Xin is probably not even considered a talented woman, she is writing with sincerity in her heart, and her works are very beautiful.Su Qing is more realistic and positive, unlike Zhang Ailing who only enjoys herself.A large number of male writers, such as Ba Jin and Mao Dun, who emerged in that war era relied more on their passion than talent.As Ba Jin later recalled, he published his early works without any payment, because he wrote them for himself, and he just needed to shout out some words.Wit? Li Ao is a wit.A talented person is a person who is full of talent, speaks well, and needs to be shaken and shown off.Genius hides gold in it.

Hu Lancheng has no talent for writing, and it is too difficult for him to write, the only thing he needs is to read more. A genius has a little bit of the ability to turn gold into gold.
