The bitter childhood life, unfortunate life encounters, so that Chaplin premature flavor of life's hardships, but also forged his independent and unyielding character. His life to the peak of the art of continuous exploration, the constant pursuit of his own glorious comedy art dedicated to the ordinary people out of poverty, oppression and terror and the cause. All these achievements can be completely attributed to his cheerful, optimistic and unyielding character.
After the war, Chaplin was persecuted after offending the U.S. government with his film Monsieur Verdoux, a condemnation of war mongers and arms dealers. Monsieur Verdoux was banned in many major American cities. When Monsieur Verdoux was shown in a theater in New Jersey, the Catholic Legion picketed outside the theater, forbidding people to see the film with placards that read, "Chaplin is a fellow traveler," "Chaplin can't be allowed to dominate for too long! "Chaplin is a fellow traveler", "Chaplin must not be allowed to dominate for too long", "Gringos out", etc. to prevent people from seeing the movie.
Meanwhile, the press attacked Chaplin, and several senators attacked him in the Senate. Chaplin did not lower his head in the face of persecution, but punched back. In December 1947, Chaplin published an article entitled "I Declare War on Hollywood" in a Paris newspaper, complaining to the whole world about the persecution he had encountered, and in September 1952, Chaplin went to Europe with his family to attend the premiere of Stage Life. As the ship crossed the Atlantic, the radio broadcast a statement from the U.S. government's Department of Justice denying Chaplin re-entry into the United States. When the ship anchored in France, Chaplin spoke to more than a hundred journalists, saying, "I believe in freedom, which is my whole political opinion, and I am all for one, which is my nature." Chaplin's character is never give in to any pressure, face pressure to rise to the occasion.
Human character, or endowment, endowment, is the external appearance of the individual state of mind. It is said that " state of mind determines destiny", and the external image of the state of mind is concentrated in the character, so it is often their own character determines the fate of the individual.
Jikang, a health scientist in the Jin Dynasty, said, "Cultivate the nature to protect God, and rest assured that the whole body." ("Theory of Nutrition") to cultivate the character, to maintain the spirit, to stabilize the state of mind, in order to preserve themselves. He closely linked the character with the mind and spirit, that is, the state of mind.
The famous modern Japanese thinker, Akutagawa Ryunosuke also said: "Fate is not so much chance as necessity. 'Fate manipulated in the character' phrase, is by no means an idle generation." Their own words and deeds, every move, not only on the world of work plays a good or unfavorable impact, but also on their own psychological and physiological "qi operation" plays a role in promoting or smooth or reverse.
Late Ming Dynasty doctor Wang Qishi pointed out that: "people's endowment is different, and the disease is different." Generally speaking, the character of sound, quiet and people, not easy to get sick, conducive to health and longevity. On the contrary, the character is not sound, paranoia, such as the character of irritability and anger, or accustomed to melancholy and anxiety, will damage the health, easy to get sick, or even die young.
Chaplin is a person of sound character, in the face of Hitler's intimidation, bullets, knives and guns of the threat, he was not afraid, as usual, row his "Great Dictator"; the face of the U.S. government because of the shooting of "Mr. Verdoux" and persecution, he is to meet face-to-face, declared a duel with Hollywood ...... is the kind of unyielding character, so that he has survived one difficulty after another. Passed one after another difficult pass, and finally gained the love of people all over the world, was known as the world's most prestigious, outstanding and great master of comedy, the World Peace Council also awarded him the International Peace Prize.
As the saying goes, "It's easy to change mountains and rivers, but it's hard to change your character". Once the character is formed, it is indeed "difficult to change". Character health, lifelong benefit, favorable health, promote the cause. The reason why Chaplin was able to achieve his great cause is because of his healthy character.
Confucius said, "The gentleman is open and honest, the villain is always in the same boat", Mencius said, "The mighty can not bend, the rich can not be obscene, the poor can not be moved, is a great man", these are the scope of the personal moral cultivation, the molding of the state of mind endowment, the soundness of the individual personality The same can be said for the other two.
Chaplin is what Confucius and Mencius said. His mind is cheerful, open-minded; just in the soft, soft in the hard, both extroverted character of vitality, but also the introverted character of the beautiful, so he can be successful, the state of mind often from the health, which is his life-long use of personal spiritual wealth, and finally change the spiritual wealth for the human body to live a long and healthy life.
