People are like waves-Feng Suiqian | Apple Daily

Yesterday, Master Xi wrote about Wu Mengda and Zhou Xingchi’s so-called “old and dead not interacting”. He finally said: “Do you regret that the good show is no longer, or are you sad for him if he left?” I couldn’t help answering to the computer screen: ” Of course, I regret that the good show is no longer.” I am just a member of the audience, and I am not related to Dago, and I am not qualified to feel sorry for him. Nostalgia is to miss his professional performance; to mourn is to mourn the passing years of his movie company.

Almost everyone in the world has experienced many “old and dead” friendships: neighbors who meet day and night next door, friends who play every day in the same class, lovers who once dreamed of dreams…In the end, you will have your busyness, and I will have mine. Life goes farther and farther, and the sky is different. The same is true of Stephen Chow and Wu Mengda, and the same is true of Zhang Ailing and Yan Ying. You, me and him are the same. This is life.

Sometimes in gathering and dispersing, there is nothing wrong with “old and dead”. For Taoists, it is a realm worthy of yearning. The phrase “old and dead never communicate” comes from Lao Tzu, who originally described the ideal life of a “small country with few people”: the country is not large, there are not many people, self-sufficient, live and work in peace, countries do not interact, nor intrude, and do not fight. This kind of communication is generalized, which is what Zhuangzi said, “The friendship between gentlemen is as waterless as water.”

Why should a gentleman’s friendship be as light as water? Looking at Zhuangzi’s above and below, we can understand: “A gentleman’s friendship is like water, and a villain’s friendship is sweet; a gentleman is indifferent to kisses, and a villain is willing to die. He who has no reason to unite, then has no reason to leave.” The more sweet, the deeper the injury, and often breaks and ends; a touch of friendship, on the contrary, flows slowly, and the love does not know where it came from, and it continues to deepen. Such is the relationship between people and the country, why not the relationship between people and the country? The love that is on the lips, the loyalty that is pledged, can’t help but be weak. It is completely true to say that “a gentleman is patriotic as water, but a villain is patriotic.”

People who must be remembered can never be forgotten. On the day when I was writing, maybe because the lyricist Mr. Ka Long had written the previous day, he woke up in the morning on a whim and played a song written by Ka Long. Xu Xiaofeng sang the old song “People Like Waves” 40 years ago. Listening and listening, seeing the date “March 2nd”, my heart is a little strange: “Could it be that he has a long life?” I immediately looked at his natal chart, and it was true.

Knowing each other for 25 years, we never remembered each other’s birthday, nor said a happy birthday, but just three years after his death, I finally remembered his birthday in singing. “People pass by like flowing water. It’s not clear where they are going. People are like waves, lost in a moment. Will you meet yesterday? I don’t know where to go tomorrow.” The lyrics sing, whether it is my old friend, or the lost ones in Hong Kong. I can’t tell the difference anymore.
