李宗吾
Li Zongwu's homophobia is still very popular. Many people like it in Taiwan, Hong Kong and the mainland. However, today's readers may not know much about the historical background of the book, and even less about Li Zongwu. Li Zongwu, a native of Sichuan Province, claims to be a religious leader of Houhei. The so-called thick black, thick-skinned black. I have a reason with Li Zongwu. In my impression, Li Zongwu is not thick and black at all. He can be said to be very kind.
I knew Li Zongwu about the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, and I can't remember the specific days. At that time, I was in Chengdu. Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan Province. Life is not so fast in a big city like Hong Kong. In my impression, everyone is very leisurely, so far, I still miss Chengdu very much.
I came from Zhejiang to Chengdu in my early twenties. Those of us from other provinces are called Xiajiang people or foot people. At that time, I wanted to learn immortality and swordplay to fight the Japanese. So I often visit famous, knowledgeable and martial arts people.
At that time, there was a Shaocheng Park in Chengdu, which had teahouses and chess rooms. Make a pot of tea and sit for half a day. Pay when you leave. If something happens in the middle, Dr. Tea will not take it away as long as the lid of the cup is put back. If you don't have money, you can have tea. Dr. Tea asks you what you drink. If you say you drink glass, you will bring a glass of boiled water. The atmosphere of this agricultural society probably won't be there any more now.
Shaocheng Park is a gathering place for Chengdu celebrities, wise men, old people and young people. You can often see all kinds of weird people wearing long gowns and cloth shoes. These are the people I am looking for, so I have become a frequent visitor to Shaocheng Park. In front of these people, I am still a child. I was dressed in a Zhongshan suit. I was also a native of Zhejiang Province and a compatriot of Chiang Kai-shek. At first, some of them had some doubts about me. This fellow might have been sent by Chiang Kai-shek. Slowly, they understand that I just want to learn, and no doubt, several people have become my friends.
One day, I was in Shaocheng Park drinking tea and playing chess with some old friends. At this time, a man came in, tall, slightly hunched back, wearing a felt hat, very special face, like an ancient man. When people saw him come in, they nodded or greeted him. I asked Mr. Liang who this is. Mr. Liang said, "You don't know this man is Li Zongwu, the leader of the Hou Hei religion. He is very famous in Sichuan. Mr. Liang told me the story of Li Zongwu. I said I would like to make acquaintance with you, sir. Mr. Liang took me over and introduced to Li Zongwu that this southern man was a foot-deep man and a friend of mine who had forgotten his years. I hasten to say: I have long heard of Mr. Zhang's name. Actually, I just heard his name. This kind of politeness is always wanted.
So, Master Houhei invited us to sit down and have tea and chat together. The so-called chat is to listen to the thick black religious master there to discuss current affairs, criticize the current maladies, talk about the War of Resistance Against Japan, scold the warlords in Sichuan, he scolded these people are not things. This is the first time that I have met Master Houhei. Later, I often see him in the teahouse in Shaocheng Park.
On one occasion, the Mafia Master said to me: I think you are a hero, and you will do something in the future. But I want to teach you a way to become a hero faster. If you want to succeed and become famous, you have to swear at people. I just swear at people and swear at fame. You don't have to scold others, you scold me, scold me Li Zongwu bastard, you will succeed. Nevertheless, you should put a note on your forehead on the position of Confucius, the most holy teacher of Dacheng, and your mind should worship the position of Li Zongwu, the Master of Houhei Religion. I didn't do it his way, so I didn't become famous.
Once, I told him, teacher, you should stop talking about thick Mafia and swearing at people. He said, not I swear at people casually, everyone is thick-skinned and black, I just put off the mask. I said: I heard that the central government has paid attention to you, and someone wants to catch you. He said, "Brother, you don't understand that. Einstein and I are the same geng. He invented the theory of relativity. Now he is a world-famous scientist. But I haven't become a famous scientist in Sichuan and Chengdu. I hope they catch me. Once I am in prison, I will be world-famous."
Li Zongwu was not caught and was not famous in the world. He once said to me: My luck is not good, unlike Cai Yuanpei and Liang Qichao. However, his thick underworld has been spreading for more than half a century, and there are so many people who like to read, which I am afraid he did not expect. He was totally self-proclaimed, and he did not have a church organization, nor a follower, nor a lonely man. At that time, many people liked to read his books, but many people did not dare to communicate with him, afraid of getting involved. I was not afraid to keep in touch with him.
After a year or two, a friend of mine, a monk he knew in Hangzhou, died. He died in Ziliujing, now Zigong. I owe him the love, Ziliujing must go, my good friend Qian Ji, is also a monk, accompany me. We walked for eight days, from Chengdu to Liujing, found the friend's tomb, burned incense and kowtowed. From Liujing to Chengdu, it will be eight days before the tangle on our body is almost gone. We are worried. I suddenly think that the home of Li Zongwu, the leader of Houhei religion, is here. Li Zongwu is a celebrity, and his address is inquired about. His house is big and the door is open. This used to be the case in rural areas. The gates were opened in the morning and closed at night. Unlike Hong Kong, the gates are closed strictly. We shouted at him at the door. It was the Master of Houhei who greeted him inside. When he saw me, he was very happy and asked, "Why are you here?
I said I'd come to see a friend of the dead." He misunderstood me, thought I was making fun of him and said, "I'm not dead yet!" Let me explain. He looked at our awkward face and immediately arranged to cook for us. The chickens killed now, the live fish from the fish pond and the ready-made vegetables ate an authentic Sichuan dish. When I was full of wine and food, I began to borrow money from him. I said, "I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Hall and go back to Chengdu without entanglement." He said, "How much is missing? I said: Ten yuan. When he stood up, he took out a bag of oceans and handed it to me. When I weighed more than ten dollars, he asked him how much it was. He said twenty dollars. I said more about him. He said take it. I said I don't know when I can pay it back. He said I'll use it first. Judging from the small matter of borrowing money, the morality of the homo-mafia is not homo-mafia at all. It's even sincere and kind.
After dinner chatting, he suddenly asked me not to go back to Chengdu, stay, I said what to do to stay, he said: you do not like martial arts? You just learn here. There is a Zhaojiaao. There is a Fourth Master Zhao in Zhaojiaao. Wugong is great. He then introduced to me the situation of Master Zhao, who had been lame since childhood, but he had good kungfu, especially light kungfu. He wore a new pair of cloth soles and walked more than a mile in the snow.
His soles would not be covered with a little mud. He taught an apprentice, kungfu is also very good, but this apprentice learned Kungfu not to do good things, but to do flower-picking activities, is to break into the room at night, strong XX women. Fourth Master Zhao was so angry that he abolished his apprentice's Kungfu and never taught his apprentices to teach art. The Master of Houhei believed that Master Zhao's Kungfu could not be passed down. Unfortunately, he encouraged me to stay and learn from him. I said that he had stopped taking apprenticeship, how could I worship him as a teacher? He said that you are different because you are from Zhejiang.
Master Zhao's Kungfu was learned from a couple from Zhejiang. I recommend you to go, and he will accept it. He said: After three years of study with Master Zhao, he learned all kinds of martial arts and would be a good knight-errant in the future. He also suggested that he should bear the tuition fees for the three years. I don't think he is sincere enough to refuse face to face. Learning martial arts is very attractive, but three years is too long. I said let me think about it again. That night, Qian Ji and I went back to the inn for the night. Early the next morning, Li Zongwu came to the Inn and persuaded me to stay and learn martial arts. I finally refused. He intuitively regretted and said, "Unfortunately, unfortunately." I went back to Chengdu.
Soon after, I went to Emei for three years and broke off contact with the outside world. I didn't know the vicissitudes of the outside world. Only the little monk who picked rice from the bottom of the mountain brought a little news occasionally. Monks are people outside the party. They are not too concerned about the war, so they can't hear about it. One day, the little monk came back and said, "I'm sorry to hear that Li Zongwu, the leader of the Houhei religion, has died. I can't pay back the twenty dollars I borrowed from him now. I read him the Diamond Sutra every day, exceeding him...
Later, I heard that he died peacefully and died.
