Distant Savior - I've never read a story like this before!

I've never read a story like this before.

The author extends from the study of traditional Chinese culture to the exploration of human nature and the realization of life. This leads to the idea that "salvation is not a broken vow of wolfing down food, but enlightenment."

There are many stories in the story, human nature, Buddhism, entrepreneurship, dealing with the world, making friends, finance, law and so on.

Simply pick up a few fragments to talk about their own understanding.

First, the bottom man.

Ding Yuanying came back from Germany, Han Chu Feng the first time to receive, the two drink not drink at the table, but copy two bottles of Wuliangye to the hotel room to drink, drunk directly to sleep. Needless to say, only the closest friends can do so. Among friends, Han Chufeng understands Ding Yuanying the most, and Ding Yuanying also trusts Han Chufeng the most. Ding Yuanying for Han Chu Feng point a chess, let Han Chu Feng smoothly sit on the throne of the president. From this, it can be seen that Ding Yuanying in Han Chu Feng, is a true mastermind and even a key moment of guidance. Ding Yuanying in encountering difficulties, the first thought to Han Chu Feng call, because he knows, what things to find what friends, Han Chu Feng is his bottom man. Wutai Mountain trip, Chu Feng is bound to follow, because he knows, Yuan Ying to go to the place, Yuan Ying to visit the person, in his case, as a matter of course should visit. The fact is exactly the same, after the visit Chu Feng said "if this trip does not come, really a great regret in life". In one's life, there must be no lack of a few powerful friends, but like Ding Han such friends, how many? Ding and Han's friends are different from our habitual thinking of "rich friends" or "something you say". The most important thing to remember is that you can't be a good friend to your friends.

Second, do something.

There is a character named Xiao Yawen in the story. This person is very good at doing things. In order to help Ding Yuanying rent a house in the old city, he personally flew from Beijing to Frankfurt to find Xiaodan to help, and then flew back to Beijing from Frankfurt a few hours later. Yawen did this because he knew that Ding Yuanying was not a fish in the pond, and she had ten thousand reasons to do so. There is also a side story about Xiao Yawen. Ding Yuanying told Xiaodan to let Yawen help rent a house in Beijing, Xiaodan asked what the specific requirements, Ding Yuanying only said: "open a stereo store, just tell her the use, she will give you consideration". This shows that Yawen's ability to do things is reassuring. I once chatted with a friend and said that from the perspective of doing things, there are two kinds of people, those who can do things and those who can do things. When I saw Yawen, I remembered this friend, who, like Yawen, belongs to the kind of people who can do things. Xiao Yawen is also with this kind of serious and responsible attitude, won the appreciation and trust of Ding Yuanying, but also laid the foundation for its subsequent development.

Third, entrepreneurship.

Ding Yuanying helped Wangmiao village poverty alleviation, from a certain point of view is also to lead Ye, Feng, Liu three entrepreneurs. But it is the three people who can't help the wall of mud, from the initial begging Ding to help, to the final questioning, denial, leaving Ding Yuanying, the three of them all the way to the psychological state of a trace reflecting the small mercenary thought. Entrepreneurship itself is not an easy thing, during this period, especially important point is to believe in their own team, believe in their own teammates, mutual suspicion can only accelerate the internal rot. As shareholders, the first thing to consider is the interests of the company, the company must be the company for the big, the company has difficulties, the shareholders first have to top, rather than thinking about how to protect their own interests. This three people's approach is just the opposite, when the company is good, calculating how to make use of the company's existing resources for their own face; when the company is in difficulty, the first thing that comes to mind is to protect their own interests and not to be implicated by the company. After all, the small role is a small role, the last three Ye Feng Liu also just grasped the edge of the well to look at the outside world, just a glance, and then fell into the well.

Fourth, lovers.

There are two ways to talk between a man and a woman - standing and lying. Standing means reciprocity, two people's values, outlook on life must be similar, as the squad leader said "synchronization". Only in this way can two people find *** the same topic, *** the same fun, can appreciate each other. Conversation between lovers is best in both ways, both lying and standing, in practical terms, lying is not difficult, standing is not easy. In the story, Yuan Ying and Xiaodan, the two lovers, can both lie and stand, so the love between them becomes real love. From this, I think of Jobs and Powell in real life, this pair of lovers can also do both lying and standing. Powell is smart without being conceited, and worldly enough to know how to manage Jobs while being secure enough not to always be in charge of him. The two were able to talk about love and life, admiring and loving each other. This reminds me of a friend's saying, two people together, if one of them feels tired, it's meaningless. This kind of can lie can stand love may be the most ideal love.

V. Buddhism.

Although I do not understand Buddhism, but also from the book to appreciate the depth of Buddhism, but also to see the extraordinary wisdom of the master. The book is about the Buddha's teachings, but I can still appreciate the great depth of the Buddha's teachings and see the extraordinary wisdom of the masters. In the end, he was able to meet the Master with the help of a poem. Ding Yuanying's poem reads: "Don't talk about heaven's destiny, don't take the real scriptures, a sadness, a joy, a withering glory, which is destined in the past life. The master revised the poem to read: "Enlightenment is the only way to realize the destiny of heaven, cultivation is not to take the true scriptures, one life, one death, one withering and glory, all are destined by karma". Nine words of change, although the reason is the same, but the meaning, the mood, the mood is completely different, that is, to extinguish anger, I am slow, direct reference to the ultimate. The realm of the nine words is evidenced by no evidence. The immensity of the Buddha's path is thus evident. The Master's wisdom can be seen from recognizing people. Master Zhi Xuan through a few conversations with Ding Yuanying, that is to conclude: Ding Yuanying body three qi in the center, three quiet qi, three noble qi, three killing qi, the remaining one point to live in the body, free from the outside, is the gangster qi. Han Chu Feng sighed only one word "absolute" after hearing this. He and Ding Yuanying how many years together, only to understand such a Ding Yuanying, and the master only one side of the talk, will see through people, the wisdom of the depth of the need for more discussion.

Sixth, saved.

The discussion of salvation is the main line of the book, and the thing that the author wants to express the most. Many people believe in the Savior and the gods, but what they really believe in is not the Lord of faith, but "the Lord you have to do for me". This stems from an inferiority of traditional Chinese culture, in which the knot of traditional concepts lies in the word "rely", relying on parents at home, relying on friends when going out, relying on the Bodhisattva, relying on God, relying on the emperor's grace, in short, relying on anything, but not relying on oneself. This is contrary to the true way of salvation, which lies in relying on oneself, relying on one's own enlightenment, and one's own enlightenment is the true way of salvation. Ding Yuanying's help to Wangmiao village is only to kill the rich to help the poor. Will the villagers of Wangmiao village be saved because of this killing of the rich, no. The essence of killing the rich to help the poor is to help. No. Killing the rich and giving to the poor is in essence giving to the poor, not being saved. The real salvation has to come from their own realization, as Ding Yuanying said, "The Savior is not a man, it is the Way, and salvation is not a broken vow of devouring, it is enlightenment.

The book is called "The Distant Savior", and a TV series based on it is called "The Way of Heaven". I like reading books more than watching TV shows, because I think reading books can be a closer understanding of the author's thoughts, and it is easier to understand what the author wants to express, and it is also easier to realize the truth of it. No matter how wonderful a TV drama is, it is just a story in the mind of the writer, who expresses the central idea he understands through the TV drama. When the reader watches the TV drama, what he really experiences is not the central idea of the original author, but the central idea of the writer. In addition, the ideas conveyed by the drama are in turn closely related to the director and actors. But for this TV series, it is worth mentioning that the author Doudou himself acted as the scriptwriter, so the lines and narration in the drama are basically the same as those written in the book, and Wang Zhiwen's interpretation is also very effective, so that even when watching the TV series, one can well appreciate the ideas that the author wants to express.
