Liang Shiqiu and Lin Yutang have too many similarities. If you want to study it in detail, every point must be discussed in a long way. What we compare here is just a detail in their lives, that is, as former smokers, they have taken a completely different attitude towards smoking and quitting.

When Liang Lin and the other two began to smoke, paper cigarettes have gradually unified the "smoking world". They have all stayed in foreign countries and brought some foreign pie, so they have experienced pipes and cigars and . However, by the middle of the 20th century, when both gentlemen were quitting smoking, the serious health hazards of smoking have been continuously disclosed to the scientific community.

Mr. Lin’s quitting smoking failed. He quit for about three weeks and "repentance" and in turn called his quitting smoking a "coma", "cowardly", and even a "guerious thought". If this recurrence in twenty days is based on modern cognition, the addictive nature of nicotine in tobacco will make it difficult for smokers to get rid of their dependence on tobacco. The resorption of a smoker is not necessarily related to the strength of willpower or character. Especially the temptation of Mr. Lin's friends who smoked, "swallowed clouds and spitted mist", which made him "lose something". Finally, he regained his "old karma" and never quit smoking again.

As a tobacco-dependent patient, if you quit and relapse, you should consult a doctor and seek help from quitting smoking. However, Mr. Lin's character is unwilling to do so. He would not admit his failure, and he would not be reluctant to seek help. He advocates self-centeredness and is a person who does his own things. When he had made the intention to quit smoking, he was probably aware of the harm of smoking and felt that quitting smoking was not difficult; when he couldn't get enough of smoking, he found some relapse for himself and said that relapse was his "new enlightenment and return."

In order to prove the rationality of this new return, he deliberately found some unreasonable reasons and forced his words. He said, "Is it okay to read the words of Jiaxuan and the poem of Mojie without smoking? Is it impossible?" He also said, "Everyone knows that the essay must be full of energy, have a flying mind, have an open-minded mind, and have a flowing rhyme. Only when a good article appears, and you will be able to understand the mind and understand the mind without hindrance in your heart. Only when you wander in your mind can you read it. How can you not smoke in this state of mind?" Such a slander is quite gimmick, just like a naughty boy finding some unreasonable "reasons" to defend himself "breaking the vase." Just imagine, there was no tobacco in the Tang and Song dynasties, but when Mo Jie recited poems and wrote lyrics of Jiaxuan, did he not realize that the spirit was flying and the rhyme flowed? Zhuang Zhou , Sima Qian , Qu Yuan , Song Yu , Li Bai , Du Fu , Dongpo , Jiaxuan lexicon, Wang Shifu , Ma Zhiyuan , which songs were written by smoking? There is no need to write, let alone read! However, Mr. Lin defended his resumption in this way. If you really think that smoking has such a big relationship with writing and reading, you will inevitably be fooled.

Mr. Liang's personality seems to be more reserved and serious, unlike Mr. Lin who is more influenced by Lao Zhuang, just like Lin's articles are wild and unrestrained, while Liang's articles are detailed, rigorous, fluent and tactful, although they all appreciate humor.

Mr. Liang has only quit smoking once in his life and has never sucked it again. It’s not that he is not addicted to smoking. When he quit smoking, he had a history of smoking for decades. The amount of smoking has gone from one pack a day to two packs. Then he heard it again - fifty packs, and his addiction to smoking is very great. However, he did not choose the "Auspicious Day" or the "Suwamu people". He just kept silent and threw the remaining cigarette in the garbage dump, and gave it to others with the cigarette mouth, pipe, cigarette bag, and lighter. Later, I was also confused and confused due to smoking addiction, but finally I did not suck again and succeeded.

All friends who cherish themselves and their family and other people's lives will abandon the forest and take advantage of the problem of quitting smoking.
