Chapter 089 Wang Zhong teaches his son(2/2)

Wang Zhong walked to the bedside, stood with his hands behind his hands, looked out at the snowy scene outside the window, and said slowly, "The first time your mother and I met was in the winter of 1969, outside the cinema. It was snowing that day, the snow was heavy, and the north wind was strong.

Leng, your mother is selling candied haws and popsicles with your grandma outside the cinema.

Your mother was only nineteen years old at that time. She was very beautiful with two long braids. When I first saw your mother, I was deeply attracted to her.

At that time, I had the idea in my heart that I would never marry anyone but her, so I began to try my best to find out about your mother, her character, and her character..."

Listening carefully to Wang Zhong's story about how he and Zheng Juan met, fell in love, and then got married, Zhou Cong looked at Wang Zhong and hesitated to speak.

Wang Zhong said, "Just say what you want to say."

Zhou Cong took a few breaths, thought carefully, organized his words, and asked, "Dad, if, I mean if, if my mother was not so beautiful, virtuous, and not so kind, would you have married her back then?

?”

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wang Zhong smiled and said, "Of course not."

"Regardless of men and women, they always have a strong possessive desire for beautiful things. When I first met your mother, I wanted to marry her home. At that time, I couldn't even ask what your mother's name was.

Where you live and you don’t know your character, do you think this is love?”

"no!"

Wang Zhongdao said, "It's just pure possessiveness, wanting to take beautiful things as your own. In my opinion, the so-called love at first sight is nothing more than lust."

Zhou Cong nodded and said, "So after you inquired about your mother's character, you determined that she is the person you want to find, so you pursued her!"

Wang Zhong nodded, then turned around to look at Zhou Cong, and said seriously, "The reason why we humans are human is not only because we have intelligence that other animals do not have, but also because we have learned self-discipline, learned self-restraint, and do not let ourselves

Controlled by the desire deep inside, morality and civilization gradually emerged."

"To be a good person, you don't necessarily have to stand out, but you must have a bottom line and perseverance in your heart."

"I understand, Dad, I will never let you down." Zhou Cong said firmly.

Wang Zhong said, "It doesn't matter whether you let me down or not. The key is not to let yourself down, so as not to regret it when you look back on your life when you are old in the future."

What he said at once was a bit too much and too complicated. Wang Zhong realized it later, raised his hand and put it on Zhou Cong's shoulder, and said with a smile, "That's the end of this topic. Just do what dad asks of you."

A person who has a bottom line and a moral character must be a person who is worthy of himself, the country and the people, and heaven and earth."

Zhou Cong clenched his fists, with a bright light shining in his eyes, "I will work hard towards this goal."

"very good!"

After complimenting Zhou Cong, Wang Zhong changed the subject and said, "Also, don't think of people so bad. Although people's hearts are in prison and it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, there are still good people in this world besides evil people."

Zhou Cong nodded and said, "Just like Grandpa Ma and Grandma Qu, like Uncle Sun and Uncle Xiao, like those uncles and uncles in Xiaoheishan Village."

Wang Zhong returned to his desk and sat down, and continued, "In fact, it is really difficult to judge most good and evil. Sometimes, what we think is evil may not necessarily be evil in the eyes of some people. We think it is good."

Things, in the eyes of some people, are evil."

As he spoke, Wang Zhong shook his head, feeling helpless, "Many things in the world are never black and white."

Zhou Cong seemed to understand something but not quite.

Wang Chongmie didn't have too much explanation, but continued, "There is an old saying that a loss is a blessing. Although this is not entirely true, it cannot be completely denied."

"Some losses can be suffered, and some losses cannot be suffered. As for how to judge, it depends on the individual."

Taking this opportunity, Wang Zhong simply said a little more. Zhou Cong nodded thoughtfully. He must have listened carefully, but only he knew whether Li understood or not.

"I once encountered a very interesting problem. Do you want to know?"

"Yeah!" Zhou Cong nodded immediately, "I think so."

Wang Zhongdao said, “Near a section of the railway, there were many signs stating that you are not allowed to approach the railway tracks. But in front of a fork in the road, on the normal railway track, there were more than a dozen children playing and playing, ignoring the warning signs next to them as if they were nothing.

On a long-abandoned railway track, there was a child who was with the dozen or so children. He originally wanted to play with them, but he saw the notice and did not dare to go down. He also tried to dissuade his friends.

He said it was dangerous, but no one listened to him, so he could only play alone on the abandoned railway track while waiting for his friends.

At this moment, a high-speed train is already close at hand, and it is too late to avoid or brake. If you are the driver of the train, would you choose to let the train continue to run on its original route, or let it arrive?

What about that long-abandoned track?”

After listening to Wang Zhong's question, Zhou Cong lowered his head and fell into deep thought, his brows furrowed and his eyes flashing sharply.

After a long while, Zhou Cong raised his head and said, "If it were me, I might choose to let the train drive to that long-abandoned track."

Wang Zhong said with some emotion, "Yes! One life or a dozen lives, most people should choose this way."

"Dad, wouldn't you choose this way?" Zhou Cong asked curiously.

Wang Zhong shook his head, "No!" He answered without any hesitation.

"Why?" Zhou Cong was puzzled.

Wang Zhongdao: "More than a dozen lives are lives, but one life is also life. Everyone is born equal, and there is no distinction between high and low. The child on the abandoned railway track did not make any mistakes. He even reminded those who ran on the normal railway track."

Why should a child who is playing have to bear the consequences that he does not have to bear because of other people's mistakes?"

Zhou Cong was stunned for a moment and stood stunned on the spot. His mind was a little blank, as if only Wang Zhong's words were left.

Like bursts of spring thunder, deafening and enlightening.

"Yes! A life is also a life. The child who was playing on the abandoned railway track did not make any mistakes, but the dozen or so children on the railway track ignored the warning signs and the child's advice."

But when it comes to this person, Zhou Cong's face shows a bit of confusion, "It's just...just..."

Wang Zhongdao said, "This is just a metaphor, not a fact. There is no so-called standard answer. You don't need to be too entangled. Dad just wants to tell you a truth."

"Everyone is an independent individual. Everyone has his or her own consciousness. At every stage of life, everyone will make their own choices. Since you have made a choice, you must bear the consequences of the choice yourself.

Others have no responsibility or obligation to bear the corresponding consequences, let alone bear them for you."

Zhou Cong instantly thought of Zhou Bingyi. Zhou Cong had heard Wang Zhong and Li Suhua say that the marriage between Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei was entirely voluntary, and Zhou Bingyi already knew the fact that Hao Dongmei was infertile before they got married.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "But when things don't happen to them, many people always like to point fingers and criticize others from what they think is the perspective of justice.

To ask others for this or that.

Just like the child on the abandoned railway track in the question, even though they know that the child is innocent, most people will still choose to let the train run on the abandoned railway track, and they will call it a sacrifice of life.

But it can save a dozen lives, which is a great kindness."

"In their opinion, it is better for one family to suffer than for a dozen families to suffer."

"But if they are not the child's parents and family, how can they understand the pain? If they are not that child, how can they know that the child is willing to exchange his life for the lives of others.

Life is always equal and will not change based on quantity. No one has the right to deprive an innocent person of his reputation.

Just like what the Analects of Confucius says, don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you. If the child playing on the abandoned railway track was their child, what choice do you think they would make?"

Zhou Cong didn't know how to answer, the answer automatically appeared in his mind.

"Dad, I..."

"Okay!" Wang Zhong interrupted Zhou Cong and said to him with a smile, "I said so much in one breath, it will take time for you to accept it."

"Anyway, don't worry about your uncle for now. Your mother and I are here. The most important thing for you right now is to concentrate on your studies. While you still have time, read more, study more, and observe more.

Now that you have decided on the major you want to study, work harder to get into the university of your choice."

"Although studying may not be the only way out, it is the simplest, easiest and fairest shortcut. People can live without diplomas, but they cannot live without culture."

"Look at me, it has been so many years since I graduated, but I still insist on studying."

"I understand, Dad! I will focus on studying." Zhou Cong naturally understood what Wang Zhong meant.

"Okay, now that you understand, let's go back and rest quickly. Get some rest early, refresh yourself, adjust your state, and stop thinking about these messy things."

"Dad, you should go to bed early and don't stay too late." Wang Zhong often stayed in the study for several hours, so Zhou Cong would say this.

"Okay, Dad knows what's going on, go and have a rest!"

Zhou Cong didn't try to persuade him anymore, turned around and left the study.
