Chapter 36 For the Tao and for the Man
While Wu Weizheng was intoxicated with his academic ways, he was increasingly ostracized and despised at school. There is a sharp confrontation between the purity of purification and the shabby of existence, often putting Wu Wei in an awkward position. He adheres to the Tao and does not make extra money, and his personal contacts seem shabby and stingy and restrained, and he often has an empty bag when he encounters things. That's when he and Song Rou just got married, he often travels on business, and he will be reimbursed immediately after borrowing money from a business trip, and the unit's finance asked with concern, how do you two live, why don't you have any living money at hand, and you are busy reimbursing when you come back? When he went home to study, Song Rou was embarrassed and said, people will say how can you find a daughter-in-law who can't live. Once the finance of the unit went to his teaching and research department, he still wondered, people never came to their office, sat there and listened to them chatting for a while, and then Wu Wei took the initiative to ask people if there was anything wrong, and the finance asked him, do you want to buy a half-sized coat? Wu Wei replied, don't buy it, and asked about finance very curiously, why did you think of asking me this? Finance said with a wry smile, there are those who come to sell it and it looks very cheap, I see that you always wear that set of clothes in the spring and autumn, and I specially came to ask you if you buy it. Shabby to shabby, stingy is indeed stingy, but not sloppy, the eldest sister in the unit commented that he is the cleanest in the pile of men, and at first glance there is a daughter-in-law who loves to be clean at home.
At that time, when she was with Song Rou, she still felt that he changed his shirt every day, and later realized that it was just a bleaching that she washed every day. Riding a worn-out bike that rings except for the bell and wears open-toed slip-ons. These experiences became the sad and shabby past that Song Rou often told later.
Even Secretary Li, who has always admired him for protecting him, is full of these comments about Wu Wei in his ears. When discussing the issue of cadres at the party committee, some people asked whether Wu Wei should also consider it, but Li Jie rejected it, he didn't care about school affairs, so he was busy with his own affairs. Some people even talk about him behind his back, he is a nerd, he doesn't understand politics, he doesn't care about politics, and it will be difficult to kill him if he is the deputy director of the teaching and research department to manage three or two people. often can't get off the stage for him in person, and ridicules him for not knowing what to say, and he can't do things. Because he lived in the family dormitory building of the unit, some people spread the word to Song Rou's ears, saying that he was very dead and couldn't come with anyone, so you would do it to him alone. Song Rou listened to it and returned home, and was worried that he would get angry when he talked about what others said. It is also said that who understands best in the whole school? Wu Wei understands best. Wu Wei also knew about these discussions, but he laughed at them, and even used the sound of apes on both sides of the strait to stop crying, and the light boat had already crossed the Ten Thousand Mountains to encourage himself. He believes that as a teacher, you should focus on teaching and writing good articles as your main business, and everything else is dispensable. He imagined that other people's sarcasm and sarcasm about him were like punching a huge sponge body, which felt soft at first, and the huge rebound force released would bounce the opponent backwards. He's in
Gain self-satisfaction for the attainment of the Tao and comfort yourself with this kind of thinking in the face of loneliness. Some people said that Wu Wei did not want to join the party, thinking that joining the party was restricted, his thinking was not progressive, and he could not be advanced, but Li Jie protected him, saying that being advanced and joining the party are two different things, as long as the class is well taught and the students welcome the faculty and staff to vote, they can be advanced. One night, Yun Fei, who came to the school with Li Jie, went to Wu Wei's house and said that Principal Li was on duty tonight, let's go to his office to sit and chat for a while, and after going there, Li Jie said to Wu Wei, someone is manipulating you, I am protecting you. It wasn't until Wu Wei encountered a major emotional blow that he realized the pain caused by his simple attachment to the Tao.
Yunfei smiled at Li Jie and said, I went to Xiao Wu's house to see him, and he still read and wrote like that, I advised him not to get tired, in the past few years, the courtyard has been discussed, every night the lights in his house are always the last one to go out, I sometimes come back from outside very late, and when I walk into the courtyard, the lights of other people's homes are turned off, only his family's lights are still on.
Li Jie praised, he still worked so hard. I thought about it again, and I didn't have any criticism of you.
Yun Fei listened to it and said with emotion, Xiao Wu, it's not easy for you to get such an evaluation from President Li. I've been with him for so many years, and I've never heard him say anything about a person like that, let alone someone as young as you.
Li Jie looked at Wu Weidao, you may not be able to write a good article just by looking at it, he has to do it, there are always mistakes and problems in the past, there are not many successful things, what decent things can be written in this background? The people who can think and write things first are supermen, saints, prophets, and great men; Others can summarize and write things when they do it, and they are superior and wise people; Others do it themselves, see the way out, and follow it is a smart person; It is an ordinary person who does not understand what others do, and they need to be guided and told by others; Others do it, others don't know how to do it, and those who don't do it well are stupid; Others do what they don't do, and it's the whole person who is still there to dismantle the stage and set up stumbling blocks. You haven't caught up with the good times, and the current interpersonal relationships are too complicated.
After listening to Li Jie's remarks, Wu Wei seemed to understand a lot of things at once, and said with admiration, you are very clever about the division of people, and people should measure themselves to see what position they are in. When I was in the bank, I listened to the section chief, and they often talked about you, saying that you read the article to see the big picture, take it and sweep it with your eyes, you can probably know the idea of the article, the structure of the article, and do not look at the punctuation marks and sentences at all, unlike some people who sit there and pick out the punctuation marks.
Li Jie smiled modestly when he heard this, each has its own way.
Wu Weizhi said that he meant that he was unwilling to discuss the people and affairs of the unit with him.
Li Jie said again, however, you are protecting you at school, and some people are purging you, and when the party committee meets to discuss the candidates recommended below, some people say that you do not join the party and should not be rated as advanced. I said, these are two different things, Xiao Wu's class is well-taught, the articles are well written, the students are welcome, and the staff votes are high.
Yunfei looked at his watch and said to Li Jie, you should rest early, and we will go back too. The two men took their leave.
At this time, Wu Wei was also thinking about how to deal with the problem of social relations, which is also an unavoidable problem after entering the society, his attitude towards social relations is ambivalent, on the one hand, he hates it, on the other hand, he is interested, and he wrote a small article about going through the back door when he was still in Tuweizi. Go to the back door, the network, the first to get the moon near the water, what to do and what to eat, the waves worn in the store, the hot kang built by the coal building, the fat eaten in the restaurant, and the swaying of tobacco and alcohol.
Some elderly colleagues said to the younger students, especially the students who had just left school, that you should try to get involved in social affairs as little as possible, and that you should get rid of all the burdens of social relations and concentrate on studying. Indeed, some people are not accustomed to the social atmosphere of relationships,
Those who are upright and stubborn, they want to adapt and are difficult to adapt, and then they simply don't want to cater to them. Such a person can't eat in society, can't do anything, and is anxious to hold his breath and get angry when he encounters something. Wu Wei was fortunate to have Song Rou's family and Zhang Luo outside the house, so he avoided the embarrassing situation of life.
After some painful reflection, Wu Wei divided social relations into several types. People's social relationships are not limited to negative meanings, but also have positive social relationships, such as mutual encouragement, care, and help. Talking about social relations, there are always some annoying and unpleasant, but they can't be separated from, can't get rid of them, and can't avoid them, and they need to be dealt with properly. There are many more social relations that are not good than those that are good. It must be treated differently through identification. Whatever is conducive to work, study, and life, strive to consolidate and establish a new one; What is necessary in life but has a restrictive effect on work, study and life should be limited to a certain range, although it is necessary but sufficient, so as not to affect study and work too much; All those social relations that blindly pursue personal enjoyment should be resolutely avoided, and those that have been formed should be detached as soon as possible; However, as for all social relations, as far as they can come into contact with, they strive to explore how they occur, how they develop, how they interact with each other, and what results they will produce.
Wu Wei also often hears some old colleagues advise him, you are tired of listening now, and you will be the same in a few years. You say people aren't very motivated to work, and you will be the same in a few years. You say people only care about themselves, and in a few years you will too. You say that people have become treacherous with each other, and in a few years you will be the same. You say that people are busy with household chores, and in a few years you will be busier than others. In short, whatever you are not used to seeing now, you will be the same in a few years, and when you are like this, you will be used to everything, not only used to it, but also feel infinitely interesting.
Wu Wei met an acquaintance in his hometown on the train back to Fubo, 30 years old, he said that he himself had ideals and ambitions in the past, and could speak well. However, due to too much selfishness and lack of righteousness, especially when it is going well, there is support from the top and a foundation from below, so they start working nonsense and planting a heel. Now, the working conditions are not good, the society has no requirements for me, there are no constraints, and I feel that I have no head, and I don't want to do it for the time being. When the working conditions are changed, and then break through, what's the big deal, pull out a few, write and write, it's nothing more than those few. However, if you have a good way, you must learn the lessons of the past, and you can't fall where you fall, and you won't become a dog that eats. There is a foundation on the ground, and there is a charity below, and once the two aspects are started, it will be successful. There is a leader in our unit, and the masses demand to open up some land, but they do not dare to do it. I said to him, the masses are asking you to do it, what else do you want to decide, isn't that the case above, it's a big deal to criticize a few words, don't do anything. How about you stick to your principles? Who will send you something? You should think not only of yourself, but also of your children. I said this to the root of him, and he stopped squeaking. Some people who want to stick to their principles but seem to be lagging behind the situation also feel that it is dangerous and disadvantageous for them to continue to do so. I think you should also consider considering it if you have the conditions in the future. Wu Wei just smiled when he heard it.
Xu Dong said to Wu Wei emotionally, I have summarized one thing in the past few years, you can't live a good life in society! You don't fix him, he fixes you. I feel at ease now, but for what? Others can't fix me if they want to!
Wu Wei has Wu Wei's idea to be a real person! Adhere to principles and uphold justice. It looks difficult, but I feel like I have no regrets in my life! I have never done anything hurtful to others, this is the pride of my life!
It's also difficult to be a real person, life is difficult, the leadership is autocratic, the person is rectifying each other, the work is not ideal, and it is really difficult to be a real person.
What is the psychology of reading dead books and dead books? To see reality as a darkness, as a pile of garbage, and to continue to fill the brain with a lot of useless, cumbersome, dead things, is as if it is not finished without stiffening one's mind, as if this is the only way to struggle and contribute to society. Aware of the dangers of reading dead books, reading dead books, reading society. It is unfortunate that social relations force people to take care of themselves, and people have to be enslaved by their social relations. There was a cartoon in the newspaper showing some scientists and professors with heavy burdens on their backs and a large group of wives and children behind them. After all, the state still does not have the strength to liberate people from the state of self-indulgence at once, but it is precisely what is required to adhere to the ideal by making the necessary sacrifices in the desire to live.
It's not about that simple spirit of hard work, but to let the fire of life radiate a flame of light that expells the darkness, how can you comfort yourself with this kind of death under the Nine Springs without regrets? In fact, it is also the mental preparation of how to effectively use one's own life. If you struggle all your life and do nothing, and you don't contribute anything to society, why do you still talk about self-deception and masturbation?
If the matter in society is to be judged by the criterion of whether it is reasonable or not, then I am afraid that it will be difficult to accomplish this task even if there are many additional courts. The lack of rationality is always there.
A new vice principal of the school is used to listening to everyone's discussion of Wu Wei, and he already has a clear stereotype in his heart, and then he looks a little wooden, and occasionally sees him sitting there and playing poker with everyone, so he is surprised and said, Xiao Wu can also play poker? I was surprised to see him playing chess with others, and he could still play chess? Others laughed and said, not only will it be very good, but I don't believe it
Try the game, and when you try it, the chess peak is really aggressive. I thought he couldn't drink, but when he drank, he was quite generous and could be open. Those who clearly say that he is a real person and do not show his face, and those who do not understand say that he will not come. People who didn't know him from outside asked him what kind of work he did at school, and he replied that he was a teacher, and people were surprised, "You still give lectures?" People who know the Tao say that not only can they speak, but they also speak very well! Gradually, some people around complimented Wu Wei, saying that people like him think about it, and you can't suppress him if you want to.
In the middle of winter this year, Wu Wei's mother died of diabetes syndrome at the fifth brother's house in Furao County. Wu Wei went home and did his filial piety with the old man for a few days, and returned home after dealing with the funeral. He was expecting someone to care for him to soothe the pain of losing his mother, but a few days passed, no one knocked on his door, and when he went out with filial piety and longed for a kind inquiry, nothing happened, and the already cold winter made him feel even colder, which was more unbearable than the natural cold of winter. The cold of winter can be solved by keeping warm, but the cold that lacks humanistic care makes him feel so lonely and helpless. Song Rou naturally felt this more than him, and said dissatisfied, your unit is really different from other units, why is there no human touch at all? Besides, your lectures are popular with students, your articles are often published, and you become an advanced person every year, how can you encounter such a thing, and what do your leaders and colleagues think? Looking at Song Rou's busy figure in the house, I thought about whether she was feeling the same cold in the depths of her heart, how did she bring her into such a lack of human ice and snow, suffering from the cold and ice, the spread and stretch of thoughts seemed to be eagerly leading Song Rou to the warm place, suddenly the depths of her heart lit up, and a stream of heat sprouted from the depths of her heart, which was the love and pity for Song Rou, and it was the heat energy sent out by this wish, which suddenly made the ice that she felt melt and dissolved without a trace. He walked towards Song Rou and kissed her gently, with tears in her eyes, she also seemed to feel his heat, responded to him, and said softly, want to open some. He patted her gently with his hand, his mind shifting to his relationship with the people around him.
Wu Wei felt from the indifference of others to him when he was in pain, and felt that he was also indifferent to those who were in pain, like a barrier of ice, through the attitude of others to see what kind of person he was, in the past, he only felt the preciousness of attachment to the Tao, and others thought it was commendable, this kind of preciousness did not make his soul from the invasion of ice. I think of the past and have many wishes for people in the depths of my heart, but they are fleeting, not fixed, and in a state of fluctuating and uncertain. In the future, it is necessary to adopt a warm attitude towards interpersonal interactions and create a harmonious atmosphere of friendly and harmonious coexistence.
Wu Wei has always thought that human relations are vulgar, delaying business, cumbersome, and often imagining the ugliness and sinister of people's hearts, and it is this kind of thinking about people that gradually erects a wall between people and me, which becomes ice when he feels lonely and helpless, and deepens the pain of loneliness and helplessness. He didn't realize that in the process of such thinking, he was quietly growing and accumulating some new spiritual elements in the depths of his soul, producing an unprecedented spiritual energy, as if implanting himself with a spiritual vaccine, which not only healed the great pain he had just experienced, just like an invisible armor, but also made the soul gain spiritual immunity function and avoid the invasion and damage of various toxins.
Wu Wei is determined to create a double atmosphere for Tao and people. Wu Wei saw some people around him, the landscape of professional life showed ups and downs, and his life was more than 3-5 years, and less than 1-2 years, lamenting that the scenery was so short. He looked back on his past life path, endured all the hardships, and felt the importance of being a person for the Tao, which set up a new seat for him to look at himself, others and society
It is easy to grasp the direction of one's life and prevent major deviations. He saw that some people focus on Taoism and others on people, and thought about how to avoid the ups and downs of life and maintain a continuous upward force. He began to consciously influence and drive some young people around him, and his small group was under his influence and drive, with a positive atmosphere, a good attitude, and remarkable work results. In private, Wu Wei often discusses with everyone, without professionalism, there is no height, development is unstable, and it is prone to ups and downs; If there are major deficiencies in people, if you don't pay attention to maintaining people, no one will support you, and don't think that if you do a good job, others will naturally support you, and good things may not be your turn. This kind of thing is not easy to talk about in front of the public, it cannot be spread out, and it is not appropriate for the relevant parties to hear it, and people will sit down with the number, thinking that you are insinuating others, talking about other people's pain, and using other people's pain as a joke to ridicule when teaching and educating others.
Wu Wei reflected on his behavior, how to attract hatred to that extent. Vice Principal Zhou Kai and Li Jie are old relations, transferred from the industry to be promoted to vice principal together with Pu Zhiren and Chaoying, and Wu Wei teaches the same course, he is very unaccustomed to Wu Wei's unreasonableness, and is very jealous of his lecturing ability, and is jealous of Wu Wei's prestige among students and teachers, and speaks very coldly, saying in front of Wu Wei, some people, you treat him like that, treat him badly and he does that, I don't know what to do, I am blind to my own heart. Again, if you look at someone standing on the podium and lecturing, you see that he is a bit like a wolf. Wu Wei imagined himself wearing a gray shirt, unkempt and fluffy hair, did he say that he looked like a big bad wolf? Zhou Kai kindly took Wu Wei to visit the brother units in the distance, and the other party arranged to visit the scenic spots.
The car came over, the owner and the leader hadn't gotten into the car yet, Wu Wei ran up to find a seat, Zhou Kai didn't say anything on the spot, and after going back, he accused Wu Wei very dissatisfied, why don't you understand this rule. Wu Wei didn't think so, what is this? He thought that as long as he could give a good lecture and publish articles, he would be fine.
