Finally, he waited for the boat and finally arrived at Shili Yangchang Shanghai. Wang Zengqi further realized the difficulty of life and the difficulty of finding a job to survive. Thousands of ordinary people are dying because of unemployment. Prices are soaring and people are living in poverty. Wang Zengqi wanted to find a job in Shanghai through acquaintances, but people expressed helplessness to him. Wang Zengqi regretted leaving Kunming after hitting several nails in succession. When he was in the worst mood, he even thought about suicide. He wrote to tell his most trusted teacher, Shen Congwen, what happened to him in Shanghai. I don't want Mr. Shen Congwen to write back and scold him, saying, "It's no use crying like this for temporary difficulties or even thinking of suicide!" You have a pen in your hand, what are you afraid of! "After receiving the letter from Mr. Shen, Wang Zengqi was moved and ashamed. In the letter, Mr. Shen briefly introduced his first arrival in Beijing. At that time, Mr. Shen was only 20 years old and rushed into Beijing. He has no friends and can't even use punctuation, but he confidently wants to conquer the world with a pen in his hand. Wang Zengqi has all heard of these situations and knows them. He remembers that Mr. Shen was often worried that he could not find something to "digest". In winter, when there is no fire at home, Mr. Shen wraps the quilt and continues to write. Mr. Shen, who only attended elementary school, finally became famous with a pen.
Mr. Shen's letter educates and reminds Wang Zengqi to learn from Mr. Shen and use a pen in his hand! Although Mr. Shen scolded Wang Zengqi, he was still preoccupied with his students, anxious and worried, trying to find a way out for Wang Zengqi in distress. He personally wrote to Mr. Li Jianwu, asking him to take care of Wang Zengqi. Mr. Li found a private middle school for him to teach.
1948 In the early spring, Wang Zengqi left Shanghai for Peiping.
As soon as Wang Zengqi arrived in Beiping, he felt the atmosphere of rain. The unstable situation will inevitably lead to difficulties in people's life and employment. Wang Zengqi had to experience the pain of unemployment again. Not only can't find a job, but it's not so easy to publish an article in Peiping, so that he lamented: "The north won't accept me!" "
Mr. Shen is keenly aware that his students, because they live in poverty, because they are dissatisfied with reality, can't find a way out, and because they have read more western modernist works, it is easy for them to show a bitter and cynical attitude with pessimism in their works and in their usual words and deeds. At this time, Mr. Shen said to his favorite students with a strong Xiangxi accent, "Ceng Qi, don't do this, don't do this! What is important is' persistence' in life and enthusiasm for life. Even in the face of harsh reality, don't feel' not desirable, not for'. One should always use his own creation to make the world a better place and add something beautiful to the world. Under any adversity, we can't lose our lyrical interest in life and our love for life. "
After nearly half a year of unemployment, finally, Mr. Shen Congwen helped Wang Zengqi find a job as a librarian in the History Museum. For the writer Wang Zengqi, working in Wumen History Museum has increased a lot of historical knowledge and life experience.
Life motto
Not only are similar and identical personalities easy to become friends, but friends are often the filling of your emptiness, the supplement of your shortcomings and the deepening of your soul.
