Confucianism and Taoism

Chapter 57
After dinner at Hong Zhennan's house, Qin Zhiyong got up and left.Hong Zhennan personally sent him outside the door.

Qin Zhiyong did not go back to his residence, but went to the newspaper office.

There is still some work to be done at the newspaper.In this era, there is no labor law, and overtime is common.

Some people want to work and work overtime, but they can't do it.

Those who have a job have no complaints no matter how hard or tired they are.People in this era can endure hardships very much.

When I came to the newspaper office, the room was really brightly lit.

Everyone is not off work yet.

Surprisingly, Qin Zhiyong met an acquaintance "Zhou Guangyao".

Zhou Guangyao is the son of Foshan entrepreneur Zhou Qingquan.Unexpectedly, he joined Qin Zhiyong's part-time newspaper office to work.

When Zhou Guangyao was in Foshan, he went to a Foshan restaurant for dinner, and he and Qin Zhiyong met several times.Zhou Guangyao was also very happy to see Qin Zhiyong.

"Mr. Qin." Zhou Guangyao couldn't help standing up from his chair and shouted excitedly.

Qin Zhiyong walked up to him and said, "Guangyao, I didn't expect you to work for the same newspaper as me. When did you come?"

Zhou Guangyao said: "This afternoon, the president agreed to hire me."

In the afternoon, Qin Zhiyong was in school.Did not come to the newspaper.

Qin Zhiyong said: "I heard when I was in Foshan that you are a talented student. Work hard. I believe that you will have a place in Hong Kong's newspaper media industry in the future. Let's talk after we finish our work."

"En." Zhou Guangyao nodded.

Qin Zhiyong sat in his seat, and there were many news releases on the desktop.These manuscripts must be reviewed by him, and some manuscripts still need to be revised.The workload will take at least three hours to complete.

It is now seven o'clock in the evening.At the earliest, I have to wait until ten o'clock in the evening to get off work.

Qin Zhiyong took out a pen to annotate on the manuscript paper.The brush calligraphy he wrote can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, but after learning the brush calligraphy, writing pen calligraphy will be even more powerful.

The words Qin Zhiyong wrote with a pen are all correct lower case letters, which make people feel clean and pleasing to the eye.

Gou Rixin, every day, and every day.

A thousand miles begins with a single step.

Qin Zhiyong asked himself to make a little progress every day.Even this little progress is so insignificant.But after ten days, after a hundred days, that is a big step forward.

Whether it is self-cultivation, self-cultivation, or work, Qin Zhiyong must strive for perfection.It's like the knife skill in cooking, simple but endless.

Once Qin Zhiyong entered the working state, he would appear focused.

The surrounding environment has little influence on him.Unlike before, a slight interruption could break him out of the state of concentration.

This is the result of his spiritual cultivation being raised to the state of "concentration".

A colleague beside him asked Zhou Guangyao, "Guangyao, did you know Teacher Qin before?"

Zhou Guangyao nodded and said, "Yes. When I was in Foshan, I often met with Mr. Qin. My father and Mr. Qin are friends. Mr. Qin's cooking skills are amazing, and he is also a master of Taijiquan..."

Zhou Guangyao told his colleagues about Qin Zhiyong's situation.There was pride in his tone.Qin Zhiyong is not from Foshan, but both Zhou Guangyao and Qin Zhiyong came to Hong Kong from Foshan.

Now that they met in Hong Kong, Zhou Guangyao naturally felt close to him.

The colleague was surprised: "Tai Chi master? The top martial arts master in Foshan? It's not that mysterious. Qin Zhiyong is a part-time editor of our newspaper and a Chinese teacher in a middle school. If you want to say that his articles are well-written and knowledgeable, then I believe it. However, if you say that he is a martial arts master, I definitely don't believe it. Mr. Qin's gentle appearance doesn't seem like someone who knows martial arts. Zhou Guangyao, you have a rich imagination, so it's a pity that you don't write novels."

When Qin Zhiyong came to Hong Kong, he devoted himself to studying psychology and Chinese studies, mainly to improve his psychological quality.Martial arts and boxing skills have never been revealed at all, and of course, there is no need to reveal them.

The grand master of martial arts is mysterious in the eyes of ordinary people.But Qin Zhiyong felt that knowing martial arts was nothing special.

A true spiritual master, a scientist, can benefit mankind, that is truly remarkable.

Zhou Guangyao was a little annoyed, his colleagues didn't believe what he said.

You know, what you say is the truth.

Qin Zhiyong killed Sato and the gendarmes with resourcefulness and escaped from the Japanese barracks.It caused a great sensation in Foshan at that time.

Zhou Guangyao wanted to explain.But then he shook his head secretly. Since the other party didn't believe it, no matter how much he explained, it would be futile.

writing a novel?
He does not mean that.

Zhou Guangyao decided to write Mr. Qin's deeds in Foshan in the form of novels and serialize them in newspapers.A master of martial arts like Mr. Qin should not be unknown, but famous all over the world.

After Qin Zhiyong reviewed the last manuscript, it happened to be ten o'clock in the evening.

Handing the manuscript paper to an editor, Qin Zhiyong said: "The manuscript has been reviewed. I have changed everything that is unreasonable. It can be typed and published."

The editor said: "Mr. Qin, your work efficiency is really too high. Okay, I will send the manuscript to the printing factory now, and let the workers typeset and print it overnight. These articles will be published in the newspaper tomorrow morning."

Qin Zhiyong nodded and smiled, "Then I'll be off work."

The editor said: "Okay. Teacher Qin, go back and rest first."

Qin Zhiyong walked to Zhou Guangyao's side and asked, "Guangyao, are you done with your work?"

Zhou Guangyao said, "Mr. Qin, I just finished my work."

Qin Zhiyong smiled slightly and said, "Then let's go. Get off work."

………………

After leaving the newspaper office, Zhou Guangyao's stomach made a sound.

Qin Zhiyong said, "You're hungry. Let's go, I'll treat you to supper."

Zhou Guangyao nodded without being polite.

Qin Zhiyong brought Zhou Guangyao to a food stall and ordered a few dishes.Zhou Guangyao ate very quickly, gobbling it up a bit.

Qin Zhiyong said: "Guangyao, eat slowly. The food is not enough, let's order more."

With tears in his eyes, Zhou Guangyao said while eating, "Mr. Qin, I still ate something last night. I didn't eat all day today. If I can't take it anymore, I just drink water."

"My father was shot by the Japanese bullets, and his mind is not clear. When we arrived in Hong Kong, if Uncle Wen didn't help, my father and I would have slept on the street. But Uncle Wen's family is also struggling now. It is said that even the rent, water and electricity I can't afford to pay..."

Qin Zhiyong patted Zhou Guangyao's shoulder, and said gently: "A man should be self-improvement. Guangyao, be strong. The days of suffering will eventually pass, and you will gradually get better in the future. After eating supper, I will go visit you with you Father."

Zhou Guangyao wiped away his tears, nodded and said, "Yes. After dinner, I'll take Mr. Qin there."

Qin Zhiyong asked: "By the way, Master Ye and his family have arrived in Hong Kong, where do they live?"

………………

In a dark and small private house, Qin Zhiyong met Zhou Qingquan.

Zhou Qingquan was lying on the bed, already asleep.

At this moment, Zhou Qingquan doesn't have the demeanor of a private entrepreneur back then, but now he is a desolate, delirious old man.

Zhou Guangyao said, "Mr. Qin..."

Qin Zhiyong put his index finger on his mouth, made a "stop talking" gesture, and said softly, "Guangyao, keep your voice down. Don't disturb your father's sleep."

Qin Zhiyong sat by the bed, felt Zhou Qingquan's pulse, and shook his head secretly.

Qin Zhiyong had nothing to do with Zhou Qingquan's symptoms.

The brain is the most mysterious part of the human body, and Zhou Qingquan's brain was injured and stimulated.

Qin Zhiyong's Chinese medicine mainly studies pharmacology.Acupuncture is only scratching the surface.Even if Qin Zhiyong had such a sliver of internal strength and used acupuncture, there was no possibility of curing Zhou Qingquan.

In Zhou Qingquan's situation, he could only rely on recuperation, hoping that one day there would be a miracle and his sanity would be restored.

Qin Zhiyong took out all the cash on his body, a total of more than 800 yuan, and put it on the dilapidated table.

Zhou Guangyao said, "Mr. Qin, how can I ask for your money?"

Qin Zhiyong said: "You have just arrived at the newspaper office, and you haven't received your salary yet. How do you live without money? Are you going to skip food every day and only drink plain water? Besides, your father is not in good health and needs to spend money. Just treat it as if I borrowed money. Yours, after the salary is paid, you will pay me back."

"I'll go back first."

"Guangyao, if you have difficulties, you must tell me. Don't hold on alone."

Zhou Guangyao said gratefully, "Thank you, Mr. Qin."

………………

It was already midnight when we got back to our residence.Qin Zhiyong did not rest.He also studied Analytic Geometry.

What should be seen today must be read.

The state of mind has reached the level of "settling", and Qin Zhiyong has been able to enter a deep sleep state within 2 minutes.He only sleeps three or four hours a day, which is equivalent to eight or nine hours of sleep for ordinary people, which is enough to keep him energetic.

morning.

It was just dawn.

Qin Zhiyong got up and read.

Confucian classics should be read every day.Only in this way can we ensure that the state of mind will not return.

When the spiritual realm has reached "settling", it doesn't mean that everything will be fine and you can sit back and relax.

The higher the mood, the more cautious you should be.

If you are a little careless, if you can't stand the temptation, you will turn back.At that time, it was extremely difficult to regain the realm again.

As the saying goes, it is difficult for a person to become good, but it only takes a moment for a person to become bad.

Once the mood is turned back, people will be mediocre and will learn to be bad.

Had breakfast.

Qin Zhiyong had no class in the morning, so he didn't plan to go to school.He bought some gifts and walked to Ye Wen's residence.

Ye Wen is now renting a house on the roof of a building.

As soon as he stepped onto the rooftop, Qin Zhiyong saw Ye Wen practicing boxing.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Ye Wen thought that someone had come to learn boxing from a teacher, but when he turned around and saw Qin Zhiyong, a surprised expression suddenly appeared on his face.

"Mr. Qin!"

Ye Wen shouted happily: "Yongcheng, Yongcheng, come out quickly. Mr. Qin is here."

Zhang Yongcheng led Ye Zhun and walked out of the house.

Qin Zhiyong said with a smile: "Master Ye, Mrs. Ye, long time no see. How have you been?"

Ask for tickets, ask for collections.
