Monkey: "…"
"Master, Benefactor Li Xueying is here." The squirrel on the tree was lying on the window of the huge villa. When it saw Li Xueying slowly walking over from afar, it shouted.
Fangzheng was taken aback. What was Li Xueying doing here?
More than ten minutes later, there was an additional person beside Fangzheng. He followed Fangzheng and tilted his head as he watched the raindrops constantly fall.
"Venerable One, look at the sky. Isn't it bright and sunny?" Li Xueying looked angrily at Fangzheng.
Fangzheng's face blushed as he coughed dryly. "Patron, you have to look at the essence of the phenomenon. Behind the clouds is the blue sky, and above the blue sky is the blazing sun. Life is like the weather. If you keep staring at the annoying rain, you will be troubled for the rest of your life. If I can think of the sunny days and the sun later, my mood will naturally be better … "
"Master, do you think it's interesting to talk about this now?" Li Xueying retorted.
Fangzheng shook his head. "It's boring."
"Then why did you say it?" Li Xueying asked.
"What else? Could it be that This Penniless Monk has been smacked in the face because of his posturing yesterday? "Fangzheng looked pitifully at Li Xueying.
When Li Xueying saw Fangzheng's look, she burst out laughing. "Venerable One, hasn't anyone told you that you look very cute?"
Fangzheng: "…"
Li Xueying held back her laughter and stared intently at him. She asked Fangzheng, "Venerable One, be honest. Did you know that there would be changes today?"
"The sun is shining brightly." Fangzheng naturally knew what Li Xueying was asking, but he did not plan on answering her directly. Be it clairvoyance or the effects of blessings, Fangzheng did not wish to elaborate. First of all, he couldn't explain it clearly. Second, others might not believe him even if he said it! After all, in this day and age, what you see in front of you may not necessarily be true. Technology is unpredictable, and there are all kinds of tricks. If you are treated as a scammer, you will be screwed.
Li Xueying stared at Fangzheng as he cocked his head to look at the roof. After a while, Li Xueying turned around and hugged her knees. She looked at the bodhi tree in front of her and said, "The spammers stopped cursing me. They suddenly ceased fire in the middle of the night. I have no idea why either."
"Good people will be rewarded," said Fangzheng.
"Then I'll be a good person until the end. I'll donate all the money I earned this time. How about that?" Li Xueying said.
Fangzheng was taken aback. "Donate them all? If you donate them all, what will you do in the future? "
Li Xueying said, "I'll just work hard. My net worth isn't low anyway, so I'll just take on more films."
Li Xueying made it sound easy, but Fangzheng, who had seen Li Xueying's movies, did not think so. Perhaps some celebrities had it easy when filming movies. All they needed to do was show their faces and draw a picture. However, Li Xueying was the kind of person who would never use a stunt double if she could act on her own. It was common for her to film until midnight. Therefore, her money and reputation didn't come out of thin air. It was also the result of her own hard work.
If you have money, who would want to fill your life with work?
However, Fangzheng did not comment on Li Xueying's choice. All he did was smile.
"Venerable One, do you think that what I'm doing is not good?" Li Xueying asked.
Fangzheng said, "Patron, what do you think is good?"
"Helping others is kindness," Li Xueying said.
"What level of help is good?" asked Fangzheng again.
"Of course, the more the better," Li Xueying said matter-of-factly.
Fangzheng shook his head. "This Penniless Monk doesn't think so. Every era, the definition of kindness changes. What This Penniless Monk says might not be right, but This Penniless Monk believes that if a person does not do anything harmful to society or does not harm others to benefit himself, it is kindness. If this person can help others, it is great kindness. If this person can do something for society, it is even greater kindness. "
"I understand that, but does it matter to me that the more the better?" Li Xueying was puzzled. She felt that if she were to sacrifice all her money to do good, it would be the greatest kindness.
Fangzheng smiled. "Patron, This Penniless Monk does not advocate sacrificing oneself for good. This Penniless Monk believes that as long as it doesn't affect one's normal life or the pursuit of one's life goals, helping others to the best of one's ability is true kindness. Otherwise, if one loses everything in order to help others, to the point of becoming a target in need of help, it will only cause society to constantly regress and not improve.
If you sell everything you have and end up with nothing, working hard to earn money isn't a good thing. Perhaps your net worth is high and you can earn money quickly, but similarly, there are many places where you need your money.
Everyone's social status and abilities are different. Their angle of doing good is also different. For example, you are an international celebrity. You might donate more money than anyone else. But are the effects really good?
Helping the poor can help them both materially and spiritually.
If possible, This Penniless Monk wishes for you to earn more money and use it to film more good movies. Spiritual salvation is sometimes more important than material things. You can choose to donate the same amount of money to help a few people, or you can choose to film movies to help countless people. If you don't have money, how are you going to film these? If you leave everything to capital, you will not be able to control fate and choose what to film.
Of course, what This Penniless Monk says isn't absolute. Against people who are in desperate need of money to save their lives, they will still be ranked first. After all, only when people are alive can they think about spiritual pursuits. "
"I get it a little …" Li Xueying said in thought.
Fangzheng nodded hard as he gritted his teeth from the pain in his neck. He took out his cell phone and browsed the movie review page.
With the end of the morning screening, the reviews for City-Toppling Beauty began to warm up. There were more and more good reviews, but as it had been flooded for two days, the attendance was too low. Therefore, there were not many people commenting. But overall, it was a good thing.
However, at that moment, a piece of news appeared.
"War in Vietnam has begun once again. Terrorism has struck again." Last night, there had been another battle in Vietnam and Vietnam.
"Gunfire in the middle of the night, nineteen casualties."
"When his daughter lies in his arms, a father cries silently." In a picture, a man from Vietnam was hugging a three-year-old girl who was covered in blood. She was crying with her head raised, and the background was a wasteland.
"We were once glorious. Vietnam's past." There were two aerial videos. One was Vietnam's past, and the other was Vietnam's present. The world before the war was so beautiful. There were resplendent lights and songs and dances. But when the war came, everything came to an end. There was no electricity, no water, and bombs could fall from the sky at any moment. No one knew if they could live through the night safely.
The people of yesterday, the ghosts of today. The ups and downs were like a dream.
