It collects more than 100 letters written by the famous translator and literary critic Fu Lei to his son Fu Cong from 1954 to 1966. From music, literature, and art to life, love, and reality, Fu Lei talked about everything and taught everything, and his love for his children was beyond words.
Talking about art | When a child is alone, he will create a world.
Talking about life | As long as the highs are not excessive and make you nervous, and the lows are not excessive and make you decadent, that will be fine. If the sun is too strong, it will scorch the grains; if the rain is too strong, it will drown the crops. We just want to be mentally balanced so as not to get hurt.
Lovers | The requirements for a lifelong partner, just like the requirements for everything in life, should not be too harsh.
Reader comments
This is the first book I have listened to in my lifetime. I love reading but rarely read or listen to a complete book. From the book, I learned how difficult it is to be a stepmother. The true value of education is companionship. Letters are the best way to accompany someone from a distance. The nagging words of mother-in-law and mother describe the love of parents. Life is not easy, and educating people is even more difficult. Fu Lei, your method of educating children is too tiring.

I originally came here to check out the must-read list for junior high school students, but I actually became immersed in it while reading Fu Lei's letters to his children one by one. The deep family affection in letters home also contains infinite philosophy of life. It seems that it is still applicable to survival and thinking in today's society. As for the art part, I can only read it in a hurry. After all, I am a layman. Overall, it's still rewarding~[shy]
The discussion about art and life in it touched me very much. "When a child is alone, he will create a world." This sentence is really inspiring! It reminds me of the little prince in "The Little Prince". He is also a lonely but creative character. This book is somewhat similar to "The Little Prince", both of which allow people to find inner peace and strength while reading. Recommended to everyone!
There are many places we can learn from. Thank you very much Mr. Fu Lei for sharing.
A book recommended by the secretary of Shude Middle School.
A good book that combines tutoring with love for the party and country.
