When I was young, I stumbled upon a collection of essays in the school library. There was an article in it called "The Lily Blooms in the Heart."
Many years later, I don’t remember much of the content of the article, but I still deeply remember and feel the tranquility and tranquility in my heart when I read the article, the clear and sweet feeling like a trickle.
The author of this collection of essays is Mr. Lin Qingxuan, a famous Taiwanese writer.
Later, Mr. Lin Qingxuan's prose became my "favorite".
When I am busy and anxious, when I am confused, when I am frustrated... your articles are like a good medicine, which can calm my restless heart.
Early this morning, I learned from the news that the old man passed away at the age of 65.
For a moment, his eyes turned red.
The author who has supported my writings all these years is no longer around.
Lin Qingxuan, a famous contemporary writer, essayist, poet and scholar.
Born in 1953 in Qishan, Kaohsiung, Taiwan Province, China.
He once served as a reporter for the overseas edition of Taiwan's "China Times", an economic reporter for "Business Times", and the editor-in-chief of "Times Magazine".
He began to publish works at the age of 17; at the age of 30, his works won all the literary awards in Taiwan at that time; at the age of 32, he encountered Buddhism and went to the mountains to practice; at the age of 35, he left the mountain and studied everywhere.
Best-selling work: Completed the "Bodhi Series" at the age of 40, selling millions of copies, driving the development of Buddhist literature and setting off a craze for Buddhist learning.
In his creative career of more than 40 years, he has published more than 100 works.
For Lin Qingxuan, embarking on the path of writing was actually not his original wish. From the earliest days, Lin Qingxuan always wanted to be a painter. When he was 8 years old, he won the first prize in painting in Taiwan.
At the age of 10, he started reading novels and fell in love with reading.
Later, Lin Qingxuan determined to become a writer, hoping to write works that touched people's hearts.
However, Lin Qingxuan was born in a poor family, and his parents who were farmers did not know what a writer was.
Lin Qingxuan also got slapped twice by his father because he said, "When I grow up, I want to be a writer, and I can get paid for writing."
Fortunately, Lin Qingxuan met a good teacher. "One day, the teacher invited me to his home for dinner. I was flattered. When I rushed there, I saw the teacher and his wife making dumplings. I was so moved that I almost shed tears." See
Lin Qingxuan looked like this, and the teacher told him seriously: "I have taught for 50 years, and I will guarantee with my life that you will succeed in the future!" It was these words that gave Lin Qingxuan a lot of courage to write.
But what really makes Lin Qingxuan a great writer is, I think, his own perception of writing.
In the essay "The Makeup of Life", there is this passage: "Poor articles are often a pile of words and sentences, distorting the author's personality. Better articles are radiant and attract people's attention, but others know that you are
He is writing an article. The best article is the natural expression of the writer. He does not pile it up, and when he reads it, he does not feel that he is reading an article, but that he is reading a life. "So, in Mr. Lin's writing, there is no piling up of fancy words.
The only dazzling skill in writing is simple language written with care.
This simple language often contains deep or shallow philosophy, just like spring rain nourishing all things.
Mr. Lin Qingxuan has been married twice in his life.
Three months after his first wife Chen Cailuan left home and disappeared without a trace, Lin Qingxuan chose to resign and go to the mountains to live in seclusion. It was only two years before he returned to the world of mortals.
Just when Lin Qingxuan thought he had seen through the seven emotions and six desires, he met his second wife Fang Chunzhen.
At this time, Lin Qingxuan proposed divorce to Chen Cailuan, and Chen Cailuan agreed.
Later, Lin Qingxuan married the young and beautiful Fang Chunzhen.
This incident caused an uproar and rumors about him were flying everywhere.
The public strongly protested against him, and some radical women's organizations burned his books in front of the "Lin Qingxuan Educational and Cultural Foundation".
Some people called him a "hypocrite" online, while others said he "says one thing and does another."
In fact, Chen Cailuan had a good personal relationship with Fang Chunzhen.
Usually they would meet up to drink tea and chat. Fang Chunzhen would also buy movie tickets for Lin Qingxuan and Chen Cailuan's grown-up son and date his girlfriend.
During this marriage incident, Lin Qingxuan remained silent and did not defend himself against the public's misunderstanding. He hoped to use his silence to gain public understanding and blessings.
Just like the wild lily in "Lily in the Heart Blooms", when faced with misunderstanding and ridicule, it can still stick to its original intention and strive to be open.
We often say that articles are like people. Mr. Lin Qingxuan's life is indeed like his articles, which are indisputable and indisputable, and his works are also the expression of his life.
