On the brotherly love between Su Dongpo and Su Ziyu (Ronnie Chan)

The brotherly love between Su Dongpo and Su Ziyu is quite touching. Whether in good times or bad, their brotherly love is as deep as the sea, and they are both brothers and best friends as well as mentors.

After Su Dongpo was deported, Su Ziyu often invited his brother to get together with wine and rice. Ziyu was very poor and lived in a small and short house, at this time, Dongpo is often laugh at Ziyu, said: "often low recitation of the history of the scriptures, suddenly owed to stretch the house hit the head." This is how pure brotherhood, both brothers and why care about these jokes, that is, bluntly ridiculed ZiYu's living quarters. At the same time, he praised Zi Yu for his peace of mind in studying even in such a cold place, and for reading the scriptures and historical records "all the time", not caring about the simplicity of the house. It seems to be "theater" but in essence, it is praising Ziyu, praising Ziyu's diligence and hard work, and this kind of deep love is really called brotherly love.

? Not only that, Dongpo and Ziyu is a close friend, is the idea of advocating in a front of close friends, often in each other self encouragement. In the poem written by Dong Po to Zi Yu, often to him to tell his own state of mind, "see the current affairs of the force is difficult to do, covetousness of the king's grace can not retreat" is to tell the Su Dong Po in the political helplessness and "force is difficult to do", but also Dong Po misses the best proof of the king of the dynasty. At this time, Dongpo was politically suppressed and unable to provide advice for the country, the depression and resentment are in the poem sent to Ziyu, and the two also thought of a point on the "blame difficult to the king is called respect, Chen good closed evil is called respect, I can not be called a thief." The tacit understanding of the two like a close friend, always you think of a piece of it, which is also a reflection of the deep love like a close friend.

? Although the two brothers in the political views, the same position, but the character of the two are very different. Ziyu was steady, practical and formal, while Dongpo was light-hearted, cheerful and naive. In politics, Ziyu was able to see through the court situation and grow appropriately, while Dongpo's straightforwardness brought him all kinds of disasters. Ziyu "covered Dongpo's mouth with his hand after he was released from imprisonment, telling him to keep his mouth shut in the future". Ziyu knew that Dong Po's direct speech had brought him disaster, so he warned Dong Po to be careful. Zi Yu was not a good student from a young age and did not study hard until he was twenty-seven, which must have had something to do with his brother's great talent. The two men did everything they could to help each other in every way, and this is the deep love of a mentor.

? Dong Po once said, "Contempt for the widowed brother, the four seas, a son by", can be seen in the deep love of the two, is a brother, is a close friend, is the deep love of the mentor.
