In 1980, two American scholars visited Mr. Liang Shuming across the ocean. Lin Qi was the first (June-July 1980); the other was Ai Kai (August 1980, the book "Will the World Be Better?") Was published. This collection of interviews is both broad and specialized. It basically reviewed the life of Mr. Liang Shuming and told a wonderful life story. He paid special tribute to topics that Liang was particularly concerned about, such as the purpose of the rural construction movement and the essentials of Buddhism. This interview is based on oral transcripts with little polish, maintaining a lively sense of the scene.
Reader comments
This book truly records Mr. Liang Shuming's thoughts and experiences, allowing readers to have a deeper understanding of his life and academics. Just like "The Analects of Confucius", it shows the thoughts and opinions of a wise man in the form of oral records. The book's discussion of the rural construction movement and the essentials of Buddhism also reminded me of Yan Yangchu's "Public Education and the Rural Construction Movement". Mr. Liang Shuming said: "Emotions are noble and weak, and Qi is noble and gentle. Only if they are gentle and harmonious can they be nourished; if they are nourished, everything will grow." This sentence touched me deeply and made me understand that I should maintain a peaceful mind in life. This book is undoubtedly a valuable resource for the study of Chinese intellectual history and is worth reading.
