Youth study tour, Chairman Mao and Xiao Zisheng strayed into Hunan ancient temple
As the saying goes, good men have aspirations in all directions. There is also a saying in traditional Chinese education that "reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles". It can be seen that for students, going out How important is travel. Chairman Mao thought the same way in 1917. This summer, Chairman Mao told his close friend Xiao Zisheng that he wanted to go out and study during the summer vacation. After learning about Chairman Mao’s plan, Xiao Zisheng thought it was a great idea. He immediately proposed that he wanted to travel with Chairman Mao, and Chairman Mao immediately agreed that two aspiring young people are about to embark on a journey that will change their lives.

After the summer vacation, they shaved their hair and did not carry a penny on them. Starting from Changsha, they embarked on a journey of several months. The two of them ate and slept all the way, and they stopped and went all the way. When they didn’t have the money to eat, they wrote articles, couplets, and temporary jobs for the big family. The journey of poor travel was very free and easy. On the way, they really saw the customs and customs that are different from those on campus. This day They arrived in a big mountain in Ningxiang County.
In the evening, the two missed the time talking all the way, and when they reacted, they were no longer in front of the village and no shop at the back, and their stomachs were hungry at the right time. The mountains are still very dangerous, and darkness is coming. Before I had to find a place to stay, Chairman Mao and Xiao Zisheng had to step up their steps.Look for the Orion family in the mountains for one night.
Soon after, Xiao Zisheng suddenly excitedly called Chairman Mao and pointed to the distant place. A cloud of green smoke curled up, and it was easy to miss it if you didn't look carefully in the night. The two of them were overjoyed. I walked towards the cooking smoke, and it was only clear when I was close by. This is not a house at all, but a temple that looks very old. The two did not think much about it, and quickly stepped forward and buckled the door knocker. Soon the gate was closed. A gap was opened, and a young monk walked out and recited the Buddha's name, and asked them why they had buttoned the door.
Xiao Zisheng quickly replied: We are students traveling from Changsha. We didn’t notice that we missed the dormitory during the day. It was too late. I would like to ask if I can stay in the temple for one night. By the way, I can see if I can beg a bowl of rice here. . After Xiao Zisheng finished speaking, the little monk replied and said that he was going to tell the abbot, but for a moment, the little monk opened the door again, invited both of them in, and led them directly to the wing. After the two were settled, the little monk was about to go. Going out to fetch dinner for the two, unexpectedly Chairman Mao and Xiao Zisheng stopped the young monk again, and embarrassedly asked if they could see the abbot.
After listening to the two's request, the little monk had some difficulties, so he had to tell the truth that the abbot was meditating at this time, and I am afraid that there is no time to meet the two for the time being. Chairman Mao and Xiao Zisheng were not discouraged after listening, and said to the little monk: Since we can’t see the abbot, let’s pass a message to the abbot. The name of the individual is written on it.
After dinner, Chairman Mao and Xiao Zisheng were about to rest. The little monk knocked on the door of the room and immediately conveyed the message that the abbot wanted to meet them. The two were overjoyed and quickly arranged their clothes and followed the little monk. In his footsteps, head to the abbot’s Buddhist room.
In the ancient temple, the abbot revealed the mystery
This is a kind-eyed, middle-aged abbot in his 50s. After seeing the two, he looks kind, and the room is simple and tidy. The Buddhist classics are neatly packed. On the bookshelf, the abbot hurriedly greeted them and sat down as soon as they saw them. In the process, a magical thing happened. Before the two could speak, the abbot directly matched the names of the two people accurately.
Chairman Mao and Xiao Zisheng were surprised, and quickly asked the abbot how they separated them. The abbot smiled and replied to the two of them: As the saying goes, people are like their names, and words are like their own people. This will make it clear when you see two people, and it's not what you think.
The explanation given by the abbot was very impressed by the two of them, and they quickly got serious. Then the abbot asked the two of them why they chose to travel in this way, and Chairman Mao replied: Only by putting yourself in the life among people can you see the true side of society and have a more authentic experience.
The old abbot was very satisfied with Chairman Mao’s words. He saw that this young man, although he was not very old, had a well-experienced and calm attitude. The space between his brows was even more natural, without any restraint or unnaturalness. , And then looked at Xiao Zisheng, also a young man with great spirits, who will have his own future in the future, but...
In the next hour or so, the three people talked very happily, even vaguely. Once he gained his identity, he gave birth to a feeling of friendship in previous years, especially Chairman Mao, when he talked about Buddhism, he often had his own unique insights, calm and persuasive. At this time, the abbot also relaxed, and finally could not hold it back, see To the next to Xiao Zisheng: Donor Xiao, would you like to stay now and spend your life with the Buddha often?
As soon as the abbot’s words came out, Xiao Zisheng and Chairman Mao were both stunned. They are young people in the new era who are receiving education. Of course, they are not cold with superstitious words. The person showed his hand, but this kind of conviction won't be much anymore. At the moment the abbot said such a thing, the two of them were a little bit out of touch.

After a while, Xiao Zisheng reacted and politely rejected the abbot’s kindness, bluntly saying that he had not yet married.I haven't seen the red dust, and I don't want to be with the ancient Buddha with the blue lantern. After hearing what Xiao Zisheng said, the abbot gave a long sigh, his eyes were filled with regret: I am afraid that if you don't stay in the mountains now, you won't be able to stay in the country in the future. The two of were even more puzzled, and had to repeatedly ask what the abbot meant. At this time, the abbot just smiled and never answered this question.
Later, the abbot turned his eyes back to Chairman Mao and asked directly: What do you think is religion? Chairman Mao replied: It was nothing but a tool for the ancient ruling class to rule the people. The abbot asked again: Then why does anyone believe it? Chairman Mao replied: Perhaps it is by nature, yearning for a better life.
The abbot nodded and asked: Do you think Buddhism, or Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism , why have the three schools endured thousands of years in China? Chairman Mao thought for a while: Of course there are people who believe in it, and there are people who trust it. Moreover, China has not had a war because of religion. The relationship between them is a harmonious coexistence, which is never a bad thing for the country. The abbot looked at Chairman Mao with scorching eyes: I hope the donor of Mao will remember this sentence, and don't forget it in the future. It may be up to you whether or not Chinese religion can continue to develop in the future.
After finishing these words, the abbot did not answer the questions of the two, but ended the conversation on the grounds that it was too early and urged the two to go back to rest. Although Chairman Mao and Xiao Zisheng still had doubts in their hearts, But the abbot insisted not to say that the two were not entangled. After returning to Changsha from the end of the trip, there were more important things to do soon, and it was not until decades later that the abbot's words came true, and the two people suddenly realized.
The prophecy came true, and the two awakened like a dream
With the development of the times, China's domestic situation has gradually moved forward according to predetermined estimates. Two people who thought they could have a tacit understanding for a lifetime could not avoid parting ways. Chairman Mao, Xiao Zisheng, and Cai Hesen are all disciples of Yang Changji. The three have a close relationship, especially with Xiao Zisheng, who have had the experience of traveling together, and the relationship goes further, but the times and trends of thought will not be affected by the close relationship. Become harmonious. In that era when new thoughts burst out and various ideas coexisted, Chairman Mao and Xiao Zisheng went further and further because of the conflict of ideas.Instead, he and Cai Hesen are more like-minded.
(Cai Hesen)
Warlords are fighting, the people are not living, and there are powerful enemies outside. The country is in dire straits. Chairman Mao is gradually moving closer to Marxism in various subsequent movements to emancipate the mind. He believes that the interests of the people are above all else. , A new era is bound to come, and Xiao Zisheng has gradually embarked on the road of belief in anarchism because of his experience of studying in France. It can be said that these two ideas are simply opposite. Chairman Mao and Xiao Zisheng have also conducted intense Arguing, but in the end no one convinced anyone, the cracks grew bigger and bigger, and finally embarked on a different path.
After a few more years, more and more people refuted the "absurdity" of anarchist thinking, and Xiao Zisheng gradually realized that, but at this time Chairman Mao and the party ushered in the most critical period of development. He did not I know that this old classmate of my own has already joined the KMT camp, and when he reacts, he has missed the best opportunity to continue the revolutionary friendship.
For many years afterwards, whenever Chairman Mao thought of Xiao Zisheng, he was full of regrets, lamenting why Xiao Zisheng was so disobedient. If he could believe in Marxism then, if he could revolutionize together, what would it be like now? ?
In 1949 the Kuomintang was defeated, Xiao Zisheng followed the Kuomintang government to Taiwan, and then went to France, Switzerland, and finally stopped at Uruguay , At this time, he finally woke up. A word from the monk was actually fulfilled. Isn't it just that you are drifting away and unable to return to your country? In 1959, Xiao Zisheng published his experience of traveling with Chairman Mao in Hunan in the early years and the legendary story about prophecy . He should miss his homeland and his friendship with Chairman Mao when he was young. And until the last moment of his life, Xiao Zisheng did not return to the homeland where he grew up.
Chairman Mao's death in 1976, the news spread overseas, Xiao Zisheng was very sad, the past is the past.Like their respective choices, they could never go back. Two months later, Xiao Zisheng died in Uruguay at the age of 82.
