(The deepest spirit must also be the most frivolous, that's pretty much the formula of my philosophy.) – Nietzsche)

Such a question and tone are actually a bit rude, so Cheng Mo glanced at Li Jiting lightly, then looked at the glass on his table, and said without humility or arrogance: "The water in the cup is crystal clear, and the water in the sea is dark and deep." Small truths can be clearly explained in words, but big truths can only be great silence....."

As the so-called desirelessness is rigid, Cheng Mo didn't care who was at this table or how big it was, and directly used Tagore's verses to ridicule Li Jiting for not understanding the big truth.

Hearing Cheng Mo's answer, Li Jiting couldn't help laughing, dismissive of Cheng Mo's mockery, and asked, "Is this your father's intention to give you the name Cheng Mo?" He knew that Cheng Yongze had no love for poetry and songs, and he would never know such a secluded verse from Tagore.

Cheng Mo replied softly, "I guess so, because he admires Wittgenstein." The reason why he was soft was because he had never been able to do anything with great strength, and he had to save as much energy as possible.

Hearing Cheng Mo's answer, everyone present smiled and nodded, except for Cheng Mo's uncle Cheng Jidong, who was confused.

Ordinary people naturally do not know who Wittgenstein is, let alone Wittgenstein, who believes that silence and reverence should be maintained when the object is too large to be spoken.

For example, a short philosophical theory, such as the ideal of life, is a non-existent thing.

Some philosophical theories, although they are only a few words, cannot be explained in thousands of words, because human beings have limited ability to express themselves, and some ideals, although far away and unattainable, should not be ridiculed by those who pursue the impossible.

So sometimes "silence" is a noble attitude.

Li Jiting laughed and said: "You kid is a bit interesting, use Tagore's poems to express Wittgenstein's philosophy, I originally thought that you and your father's old-fashioned old number are the same way, but I didn't expect you to be much more interesting than your father!

It's actually a bit disrespectful to smile so happily at someone else's funeral banquet, but everyone here has a high status, and they are all masters of the Academy of Social Sciences, and they are far more open to things like "life and death" than ordinary people, and they will not be bound by ordinary secular rules, so they all looked at Cheng Mo and smiled, looking at Cheng Mo's eyes, there was a lot of relief that the tiger father had no dog.

Li Jiting said again: "I guess your grades are very good! I am in my first year of high school this year, and I will take the college entrance examination in two years, have you ever thought of following your father's footsteps to study at Peking University?"

Cheng Mo remembered his painful experience of not adapting to the water and soil in the capital, and said without hesitation: "I won't go to Peking University!"

Li Jiting was a little surprised and said, "Uh? Why? Then what university are you going to go to?"

Cheng Mo didn't explain that he couldn't go to the capital because of his health, but just said: "I'll take the university entrance examination in Star City..... Although he doesn't want to be confined to one city, there is no doubt that there is everything he is familiar with here, as well as doctors who are familiar with him, and his chances of survival can be greatly increased.

Li Jiting naturally thought that Cheng Mo might not be confident in his grades, because generally speaking, local universities will lower the score line for local students, so he said: "Even if you are admitted to Peking University, it doesn't matter if your grades are a little worse, I'll find a way for you....."

Wang Shanhai, who was sitting next to Li Jiting, couldn't help but interject: "Peking University is good, but the university in our Star City is not bad, and the School of Philosophy and Research of Yuelu Academy is a strong department with a long history and is second to none. ”

Li Jiting smiled and said: "Dean Wang, I didn't say that Yuelu Academy is bad, I just hope that Cheng Mo can walk along his father's path and take a look, you must know that Yongze was a man of the year in our Peking University, and now our Peking University alumni network is taking Cheng Yongze's photo as a cover..... Besides, my dad is Yongze's mentor, so my being a mentor of Cheng Mo can be regarded as a good story!"

Hearing Li Jiting's words, everyone finally understood what happened to Cheng Yongze's funeral, which Li Jiting had condescended to and had come to attend, and also sighed that Cheng Mo would be able to enjoy his father's shadow, and it would be natural for him to have a smooth future in the future.

It's just that everyone here doesn't quite understand why the Li family still promised such a big favor after Cheng Yongze's death, after all, Cheng Yongze is just a dead genius, and he has no foundation in Huaxia, let alone a child of a family.

Cheng Mo still didn't explain that he couldn't go to the capital at all because of his health, let alone Peking University, but just bowed slightly and said, "Then I thank you!" He wanted to keep this opportunity, and he also knew what Li Jiting's promise meant, although he didn't need it, but he didn't necessarily need this favor in the future.

Li Jiting smiled and said, "Don't say thank you yet, you still have to answer me a question!" Li Jiting paused a little and asked, "Why do you like philosophy?"

This is a question that will not have a standard answer, everyone has their own answer in their heart, and everyone has their own criteria for judging the answer to this question.

A table of well-known leaders in Hunan Province and even the whole country were all watching with interest how the son of Cheng Yongze, the youngest member of the school department in China, would answer this question.

Cheng Mo was silent for a moment in front of everyone, shook his head and said: "Actually, I don't like philosophy, I just don't want me to disappear without thinking about anything when I die....."

As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately brought the slightly relaxed and cheerful atmosphere to an abrupt end, although Cheng Mo's words were very deafening, but a child talking about life and death in front of a group of elderly people, a little too unconventional, and worried about the new words.

Everyone felt that Cheng Mo's answer was actually a bit minus, they didn't know that the child in front of them was terminally ill, and he lived every day in the present when he didn't know if there was a tomorrow.

Cheng Jidong didn't understand what Cheng Mo said before, but the meaning of what Cheng Mo said was obvious enough, Cheng Jidong saw that the atmosphere froze, and hurriedly opened his mouth and explained with a wry smile: "My nephew should be a genius like his father, but his fate is too much.... He has had heart disease since he was a child, and doctors say that he is not in good health enough to last 20 years old......"

Naturally, a group of scholars would not laugh at Cheng Jidong's lack of understanding of literature and ink, nor did they specifically point out his mistakes, but they just looked at each other, looking at Cheng Mo, who had a clear face and seemed to be unmoved, they all sighed in their hearts, and they didn't know what to say.

Li Jiting also froze for a moment, didn't speak for a long time, looked at Cheng Mo with a cloudy expression, and after a long time, he reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Only the tip of death's nose can make us feel the urgency of life, but looking at your appearance is very calm, which makes me very pleased, I think your father will bless you in the spirit of heaven." ”

Cheng Mo was naturally indifferent to such comfort, and said: "Actually, I'm quite afraid of death, but I just know that it's useless to be afraid, so I'm too lazy to be afraid.... As for my dad .... I wish he could order takeout in heaven!"

Cheng Mo could still complain at this moment, which made Li Jiting couldn't help laughing, and after laughing, he patted Cheng Mo's shoulder again and said: "I really like you, Cheng Mo, you are much more interesting than your father's boring person, I'm curious, if you didn't have this disease, what would you do?"

Cheng Mo replied without much thought: "If I didn't have this disease, I think I should be a loser, arrogant, lazy, lazy, and passable..."

Li Jiting shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is really a surprise answer, come, give me your mobile phone number." After speaking, Li Jiting took out his mobile phone.

Cheng Mo read out his mobile phone number, Li Jiting saved his mobile phone, dialed it, and said to Cheng Mo: "I said that I would help you go to Peking University, but I am serious, you must call me when you take the exam!"

Cheng Mo thanked him again.

Li Jiting smiled and said, "Let's go eat!"
