Next Life Love or Not Love, We Won’t Meet Again
This letter from Hong Kong Broadcasting Corporation's well-known host, Liang Jixing, to his son quickly went viral on various websites, deeply touching many fathers upon reading it.
This letter not only inspires the son greatly, but it's also suitable for everyone to read! It's a short but profound reflection on life by older generations, filled with boundless love for their children. It's truly moving!
My son, I'm writing this memo for you, based on three principles:
(1) Life is full of fortune and misfortune, and no one knows how long they will live. It's best to settle things early.
(2) I am your father, and I will tell you things that no one else will.
(3) This memo contains experiences gained through painful failures, which can save you from many wrong turns.
Here are some things you should remember in life:
- Don't overly dwell on people who are unkind to you. No one is obligated to treat you well, except my wife and me. Cherish and be grateful to those who treat you well.
- Nothing is irreplaceable, and nothing needs to be possessed. Once you understand this, you'll be able to accept losing everything you love in the future. It's not the end of the world.
- Life is short. You may be wasting your life today, but tomorrow you'll realize it's slipping away. Therefore, cherish life early, and you'll have more days to enjoy it. Rather than waiting for a long life, enjoy your life while you can.
- Love is just a feeling, and feelings change with time and mindset. If the person you love leaves you, be patient and let time wash over you. Your pain will gradually fade. Don't over-idealize love or exaggerate the sadness of heartbreak.
- While many successful people haven't had extensive education, it doesn't mean you shouldn't work hard at your studies. Knowledge is your weapon. People can start from nothing, but they can't go without any tools. Remember this!
- I won't ask you to support me for the rest of my life, and I won't support yours. When you're able to be independent, my responsibility will be over. In the future, you're responsible for your own expenses, whether you're taking the bus or driving a luxury car, eating shark's fin or noodles.
- You can demand that you be trustworthy, but you can't demand that others be trustworthy. You can demand that you be kind to others, but you shouldn't expect them to be kind to you. If you don't understand this, you'll only add unnecessary worries to your life.
- I've spent 26 years playing the lottery, and I'm still poor and unsuccessful. I've never won even a third prize. This proves that if you want to become wealthy, you must work hard. There's no free lunch in the world.
- Family relationships only happen once. No matter how long we spend together in this life, we won't meet again in the next.
