An example of overcoming desire

A paragraph in "Shi Shuo Xin Yu" and "De" says: "There is a piece of gold in Ning Guan and Hua Xin Gardens, and hoes are no different from tiles. If you catch it, you throw it away. I also tasted the taste of reading at the same table. Some people who pass by the porch door would rather read books and waste books as before. They would rather sit at the same table and say, "My son is not my friend! Here are two stories that record two details in their lives: First, Ning Guan and Huaxin hoed the vegetable garden together and dug up a piece of gold, and Ning Guan worked as usual as if he had never seen it before; Huaxin took the gold in his hand and looked at it, then threw it away. Second, Guan Ning and Hua Xin are reading at the same table, and there is official etiquette noise outside the door. Guan Ning didn't listen to his study, but Huaxin put down his book and ran out to watch the fun. When Hua Xin came back, Guan Ning had already cut his seat, indicating that he had different interests and wanted to share his seat with Hua Xin.

From 65438 to 0946, the famous mathematician Hua was hired as a tenured professor by an American university with favorable conditions. But he replied: "in order to choose the truth, for the country and the nation, I want to return to China!" " "Finally returned to Peiping (now Beijing) with his wife and children. After returning home, he not only devoted himself to theoretical research, but also traveled to 23 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions all over the country, and solved a large number of practical problems in production with mathematics, so he was known as the "people's mathematician".

"I have always believed that I will be able to return to my motherland. Today, I finally came back! " This is a very emotional remark made by Qian Xuesen, a famous scientist and rocket expert in China, to the comrades of China Travel Agency who received him when he returned to Guangzhou from the United States on 1995 10. He returned to China with his wife and two young children.

1In August, 935, Qian Xuesen went to the United States to study and study aviation engineering and aerodynamics as a public student. Before returning to China, he was the director of the California Institute of Technology Supersonic Laboratory and the director of the Guggenheim Jet Propulsion Research Center.

Great changes have taken place in the motherland. 1 949 65438+1October1The first five-star red flag fluttered over Tiananmen Square. Five days later is the traditional festival of our nation-Mid-Autumn Festival. On this day, Mr. and Mrs. Qian Xuesen celebrated this festival with a dozen international students from China. While enjoying the moon, they poured out their hearts, rejoiced in the birth of the motherland and looked forward to the bright future of the motherland. At this time, Qian Xuesen had a strong desire to return to the motherland as soon as possible and serve the country with his expertise.

At this time, the land of Korea ignited the bonfire of war. As the U.S. imperialism that started this war, there is a crazy political counter-current against * * * * at home, and almost every day there are incidents of censorship and threats to censor personnel of universities and other institutions. Without exception, this countercurrent also spread to California Institute of Technology. Due to the arrest of Weinbaum, secretary of the Marxism-Leninism Group of the college, the suspicion of the FBI fell on Qian Xuesen. 1950 In July, the US government decided to disqualify Qian Xuesen from participating in confidential research on the grounds that he had a friend relationship with Weinbaum, and accused Qian Xuesen of being a producer of party member and the United States and entering the country illegally. These groundless accusations were all denied by Qian Xuesen. However, Qian Xuesen couldn't stand all this and decided to return to the motherland immediately on the grounds of visiting relatives, ready to never return. He met with kimble, the deputy secretary of the US Navy who was in charge of his research work, and solemnly announced to kimble that he was ready to leave for home immediately. Kimble was surprised after hearing this. He believes: "Qian Xuesen is worth five divisions no matter where he puts it." What are you yelling about? "I'd rather shoot him than let this guy leave America!" "So as soon as Qian Xuesen walked out of the office, kimble immediately notified the Immigration Bureau.

Unconsciously, Qian Xuesen made all the preparations for returning to China, went through the formalities of returning to China, bought a plane ticket from Canada to Hong Kong, and handed the luggage to the handling company for shipment.

However, just two days before their family planned to leave Los Angeles, that is,1midnight on August 23, 950, they suddenly received a notice from the Immigration Bureau that they were not allowed to leave the United States. At the same time, the US Customs detained all Qian Xuesen's luggage.

Qian Xuesen was forced to return to California Institute of Technology, and the FBI sent someone to monitor his family and all his actions. Far from it, on September 6, Qian Xuesen was suddenly illegally detained by the FBI and sent to the immigration detention center for detention.

In the detention center, Qian Xuesen was tortured like a criminal. Qian Xuesen once recalled: "I lost 30 pounds in 15 days of detention. At night, spies wake me up every 1 hour. I can't rest at all, and I am in a state of extreme tension. "

After Qian Xuesen was detained for no reason, the teachers and students of California Institute of Technology, Mr. Feng Carmen, Qian Xuesen's teacher, and some American friendly people protested strongly to the Immigration Bureau, found a defense lawyer for him, and raised $6.5438+$5,000 bail to bail Qian Xuesen out.

Since then, Qian Xuesen has continued to be persecuted by the Immigration Bureau. His movements were restricted by the Immigration Bureau and monitored by FBI agents. He is not allowed to leave Los Angeles where he lives and is often asked. Qian Xuesen lost his freedom for five years.

However, Qian Xuesen's pure heart of loving the motherland is even hotter. He misses New China day and night. He persisted in his struggle, constantly demanding that the Immigration Bureau leave the United States and return to China.

Qian Xuesen, who could not return to China, did not stop studying the scientific career he loved and devoted himself to during those five years. At that time, the American government prevented him from leaving the United States because the rocket technology he studied was related to the national defense construction of the motherland, and he wanted to stop the scientific and technological development of new China by detaining him. When Qian Xuesen learned about this, he felt extremely angry. So he chose the new major of "Engineering Cybernetics" to study, so as to help remove the obstacles to returning to China. After hard work, I wrote more than 300,000 words of "Engineering Cybernetics" in English at 1954. In fact, engineering cybernetics is closely related to production automation, the development and application of electronic computers, and national defense construction, but the American authorities did not realize this at that time.

Qian Xuesen's struggle to return to the motherland has also received the care and support of the motherland. 1954 on April 26th, during the China-China international conference, Wang Bingnan, secretary-general of the delegation, and Yahya Johnson, head of the American delegation, made contact on behalf of the two governments on the issue of the return of civilians. During the contact, Wang Bingnan pointed out that the United States is preventing many China people living in the United States from returning to China, including scientist Qian Xuesen.

1one day in June, 955, Qian Xuesen got rid of the spy surveillance. In the letter sent to Belgian pro-prestige, he attached a letter written with cigarette paper to Chen Shutong, vice chairman of the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC), asking the motherland to help him return to China as soon as possible. On the day Mr. Chen Shutong received the letter, he gave it to Premier Zhou Enlai. 1 955 August1Sino-US ambassadorial talks were held in Geneva, Switzerland. At the behest of Premier Zhou and according to Qian Xuesen's letter requesting to return to China, Ambassador Wang Bingnan negotiated with the US to force the US government to allow Qian Xuesen to leave the United States and return to China.

1955 September 17, Qian Xuesen, his wife and two young children finally left Los Angeles on the American ship "President Cleveland" and sailed for the motherland in the east.

(the temptation of a little interest)

Zhuangzi is very poor. Once, a rich man wanted to insult Zhuangzi and said to him, "Hello. Mr. Wang is so poor. I have a daughter. Will you respect me like an elder? " Zhuangzi said, "What does it matter to me that you have money? Why should I respect you? " The rich man went on to say, "I will give you 500 gold." Can you respect me? " Zhuangzi said, "You give me 500 gold, and we each have 500 gold. I'm just like you. Why should I respect you? " The rich man was helpless and said, "I'll give you a daughter." Will you respect me? " Zhuangzi said, "You gave me all your money. I become rich, but you have no money. You can respect me. Why should I respect you? " The rich are speechless.

Khalid III was the monarch who ruled Belgium in the14th century, and was famous for his obesity. Riley III's younger brother's name is Edward. After their fierce conflict, my brother successfully staged a coup. Edward arrested Khalid III, but instead of executing him, he built a special room for him in a castle. Edward assured Riley III that as long as he walked out of that room, he could return to his previous position. ?

What kind of room is this? It has doors and windows, and it never locks. The problem is that Khalid III is too fat, and those doors and windows are all normal sizes. If Khalid III wants to regain his freedom and ascend to the throne, he must go on a diet to lose weight. ?

This decision is too lenient for those who support Edward! For those who support ridley III, Edward is really stupid! Because as long as ridley III eats less, he will walk out of that room in a few months! ?

However, Edward knows his brother's weakness too well. Every day, he sent people to bring all kinds of delicious food to Riley III for him to taste. Khalid III has always been open to all kinds of food. After a period of time, the weight of Lailide III has not decreased, but has increased a lot. He is becoming more and more bloated. ?

When this situation was discovered, the supporters of ridley III suddenly realized that Edward was too cruel to his brother. Edward smiled and replied, "My brother is not a prisoner. As long as he wants, he can leave there, and the decision is in his hands. " ?

Admittedly, Edward did not imprison his brother ridley III, but greedily imprisoned ridley III. In that room, Ryder III stayed for 10 years, and was not released until his younger brother Edward died in battle. However, Khalid III's body has been destroyed by his years of overeating, and he died less than a year after leaving that room. ?

Didn't Riley III know that you can't have your cake and eat it? Know! Didn't Khalid III know that the throne is more important than food? Know! But why didn't he realize the unity of thought and practice? The reason is that Khalid III did not overcome his immediate desire-gluttony. When the delicious food came to him, he had neglected the long weight loss and the distant freedom. ?

In this world, too many people are doomed to failure because they have not overcome their immediate desires. For everyone, the immediate desire is really difficult to overcome, because it is in front of us and the temptation is so strong! No matter how difficult it is, we must overcome it! Because you can't have both immediate interests and long-term goals, it goes without saying which is more important. He who loses a lot because of small things is a real fool! ?

Overcoming the immediate desire is a familiar and unfamiliar, calm and heavy call!

Your reward is tempting me. . Hehe hehe. . .
