Leopard

I saw it years ago, and it wasn't particularly clear at the time what it said. Until recently, I was madly reading Mr. Li Jie's "Hologram of History and Culture: On the Dream of Red Mansions". He was very partial to the intention of the leopard, and spent a lot of space to praise it. The general meaning is that a truly charming nobleman, he must With the characteristics of a leopard, the spirit is beautiful, and at the same time, it is extremely active and wise.

He even made an analogy, thinking that the golden phoenix in the story of the stone had the noble qualities of a leopard inside and out. Her failure was that, as such a complete person, she was in the general trend of the end of the family, so It was also powerless to return to heaven; and the two of Lin Bao only possessed the characteristics of a leopard in spirit. Hitler in Europe, on the other hand, maximized the leopard's mobility to the extreme, but was rather biased in spirit.

Going back to this film, the male protagonist has a big family. When the change comes, it is natural that the ship will turn around. Even if he still has enough wisdom, the fate of the family will still be coerced by the fate of the times, but the audience does not have to be Confused by the scene, all the nobles must have had a savage growth when they first grew up in the soil, just like the other upstarts he despised, but it was only the long years that made people forget this.

Looking back on the time in Beijing, I did meet a leader who was quite spiritually leopard-like. He was personable and always put a lot of effort into it. However, he always paid less attention to his career and did not reach a higher level that completely matched his abilities. In terms of position, he has recently been led by people with lower ranks. Student D said, then he had to reduce his dimensionality. Looking around, there are indeed many spiritual nobles who disdain to compete for fame and fortune in their early years, but are occasionally passive in the workplace. The cat's feeling is that all pain is actually a compass, telling us where to go. Either seek a solution outward, or seek a solution inward, or both, but action must come first, and you need to cherish the pain, not ignore it.

Speaking of this film, it is true that there are century-old nobles who can achieve longevity. The theory of preserving wealth that I read many years ago gave a very practical solution. The general idea is that it is the family spirit to inherit, not material wealth. Descendants are prodigal sons, and their material wealth will definitely be lost; if the descendants have extraordinary abilities, the accumulation of wealth will not be a problem for any generation. And what kind of family spirit can last for a long time? Maybe, those rational spirits of helping the world can be passed down for a long time.
