Mr. Xu's business card is printed with the words "Books are sold in hundreds of Yu Ben at home and abroad, and the only one who translates poems into English and French". When I first saw it, I felt that the old gentleman was a little modest ... Later I thought, on the one hand, people did have crazy capital and won the highest prize in the translation field, but it was not the master who won the prize, at least some performances;

On the other hand, which intellectuals are not lofty, most people who have made achievements in their own fields feel good about themselves. It seems lovely to be so frank instead of pretending to be modest.

2. Emotion

Speaking of the first poem translated by 1938, in order to catch up with a female classmate, xu teacher, who is over 90 years old, became in high spirits. When she talked about her passion, tears immediately appeared in her eyes. His smile is as innocent as a child, like an old urchin. Even in his 90 s, he is still full of enthusiasm for life. It is not difficult to understand why he can survive the death of cancer as the doctor said, still live beautifully and contribute his works continuously.

Step 3 have fun

For translation, xu teacher really loves it, and it is very happy to be able to do what he loves. As he said, in the same sentence, I am better than others, or better than myself. This is fun, and this kind of fun can't be taken away by others. This may be his inexhaustible motive force. Over 90 years old, he still insists on writing and translating Shakespeare every day.

4. Attitude towards life

I really admire "I can appreciate every day of my life" and "I should respect my progress every day".
