I read this book after sister Zhuangyuan mentioned it the other day. Standing at the beginning of the second decade of the twenty-first century, when I look at the texts of memories of the 1920s and 1930s written in the 1980s, undoubted I had a strange feeling of dislocation. According to Mr. Liang, there is no universal truth, and most people are just complying with social customs. Only the minority with a strong psychological power are able to do what they think is the right thing. Mr. Liang be considered one of the small number of wise men. Perhaps I don't know him well, but I can sense the distinct optimism from the 1980s in the words recorded in this interview.
This kind of optimism was prevalent at that time, but it is only convincing when spoken by elderlies who suffered the Civil War and Culture Revolution. As Yu Qiuyu mentioned, Wang Yuanxian had the similar feeling:"Although there are many indignant things happening. But I can say responsibly that in terms of scholarship, we are entering the best era of this century."
At that time everything seemed promising. Even in retrospective, everything including the state-owned and collective enterprises in plight, the volatile macroeconomic and severe price crisis were covered up by the aura of the optimistic eighties. The tone of the society changed when a crisis happened upon entering the nineties. Judging from that, "what people of the future look at today is just like people nowadays look at people of yesterday" is not nonsense. Every era has its distinct feature. To look at the era without the historical context, our mind cannot fully match with people of that time.
With the strong impression in mind, I sighed when I read Mr. Liang's words and ponder the spirit of the society nowadays.
This world will you? Mr. Liang Lao wound answer is yes. Experienced the Revolution, we have experienced civil war, experienced the Cultural Revolution, the elderly, compared to 50 years starting from scratch, the eighties would be far better to develop, research, thinking the timing. Now it? Must not be that bad. Into the internal form of the crucial period, and the economic crisis after the country between the forces of re-shuffling of the external challenges facing the reform, China once again stood to require great wisdom to select the direction of the intersection. Lost on the occasion were asked to judge on the road before, to make an affirmative answer will undoubtedly need my firm belief. Will this world be better? Mr. Liang would answer yes at that time. For an old man who had experienced Xinhai revolution, civil war and Cultural revolution, compared with building up from nothing in the fifties, he would think the eighties would be a good time for developing, researching and reflecting on life. But now? We cannot say our time is bad. However, when the internal form came to the crucial period, and our country was challenged from outside after the re-shuffling of country powers after the economic crisis, China stand at the intersection where great wisdom is needed for choosing the right path. When asked about the prediction on the future while one feels lost, it requires undoubtedly more firm conviction to to make an affirmative answer.
Will this world be better? Mr. Liang Lao's answer has always been yes. Because he has round personality, no confusion, and complete thinking system. Based on his thinking system, he has always given been positive judgment on life. But it is difficult to establish a system of oneself. Mr. Liang doesn't admit himself as a scholar, rather, he claims to be a thinker. The first title is not what I can comment on, but the latter title is undoubtedly yes.
When reflecting on myself, I used to try to build my own framework of Confucianism and of Taoism, but in the end I was too lazy to mentally use my mind to investigate things. Compared with Mr. Liang's experience of solving his "personal problems", which was one of the only two questions in life, at the year of twenty I feel ashamed. When one uses the brain to think of some things and does out of the house, no doubt one has to to constantly urge himself to do things. Whatever the final judgment to the future is, as long as the answer is given by oneself with complete logical, it is to be accepted with pleasure. After all, this choice can avoid the mindset of conforming to the customs.
The most distinguished feature of is book lies in a conversation between Mr. Liang and an American researcher, Alitto.G.S. Unfortunately history has proved the doubts that youths had on consumerism of that time. It is a pity that we don't know what Mr. Liang said on this.
Most of the time, although I can understand the words of Mr. Liang Lao, still I feel some confusion in my mind. I am rather curious about Ai Kai, especially about his gossips of modern famous figures, like his judgment on Mao Zedong, Chiang Kai-shek and the Communist Party. While I not excluding the possibility that he was forced to believe in the things after hearing about them for years, his independent personality is genuine. The trust he had as a non-Party member to personages of socialism is definitely worthy of admiring to strengthen my faith. I was mostly touched by the foreword by Ai Kai. "The kind of thought which can integrate a variety of conflicting ideas is the typical characteristics of traditional Chinese intellectuals." His words revealed the truth. It is the characteristics of traditional Chinese culture that we are not too concerned about specific theory system but emphasize more on integration of all the systems. "The academic classification we take for granted today, is in fact, invented by Sima Qian in the "Tai Shi Gong preface." If this is the case, since this is not the "official" scientific "classification of the philosophy shool, nor should the more " official "science" category come into being. Then why do we need the sectarianism and segmentation? The ultimate goal should be to take what one needs and build onself.
As for Mr. Liang I respect his Confuciusim and Buddist personal cultivation and social activities. But I don't like his belief in the Indian theory on reincarnation. I also thank Mr. Liang for predicting the world and the future.
Will the world be better? My current thinking is that, whether good or bad, I all should force ourselves to live, live well, and to live out the role. Hope one day we can reply on our own thinking system to relate to the problems of the society and ourselves.
