Chapter 63 Talking in the Study Room (2)
Grandpa didn't let go of the smile and left, he still kept her by his side and narrated:
"There are two problems with the method of dividing people into two categories that we just talked about.

First, the categorization of people as good and bad is inherently wrong.

There are no absolute good and bad people in the world.

There are only two types of people who do more good deeds but do more bad deeds and those who do less good deeds but do more bad deeds. "

Xiaoxiao nodded, not only to remember this principle, but more importantly, to implement it in his dealings with others.

"Secondly, the matter itself has no absolute relationship with the character of the parties involved. We must learn to discuss the matter as it stands, and only believe in facts rather than feelings."

As he spoke, Grandpa Ye himself became excited:
"Why did the movement cause so much harm to our country and people? It was because of the simple and crude binary classification method of some of our comrades."

"They divide people into poor and rich; comrades into left and right; cultures into dross and progressive...

They don't understand or deliberately ignore the complexity of human nature, the duality of things, and make a mess of things as a result..."

Seemingly aware of his gaffe, Grandpa Ye stopped and stopped talking.

Pulling Grandpa's hand, he smiled and silently expressed his comfort.

Looking at his grandfather worriedly, he knew with a smile that, given his grandpa's city and his calmness, if he hadn't touched the hidden pain in his heart, he would never have shown his emotions to such an extent.

Xiaoxiao couldn't understand the madness of that era.The history of later generations always pays attention to harmony, which is somewhat taboo for the venerable, and the specific situation at that time is always written very vaguely.

But she can understand Grandpa's character and his inner pain:
Grandpa Ye is a person with a round outside and a square inside, with great ambitions in his heart.

He is tactful and gentle.No temper, easy to find a balance in compromise.Seems like an unprincipled politician pursuing success.

In fact, this is just the way of doing things caused by birth and natural character.

He was willing to concede on small, insignificant issues.He is very persistent when it comes to major issues and major issues.

Grandpa Ye had a sense of mission to the country and the nation in his heart, which is why he was willing to abandon his superior aristocratic life and devote himself to arduous revolutionary activities; why he would rather abandon his own class and turn to the ranks of the proletariat.

During the campaign that year, although Grandpa Ye and Grandma Ye had problems with their backgrounds.But at their level, these are not really important.

Because of his consistent style of dealing with people, Grandpa was not affected too much.

He defended himself well.He even used his position and the power in his hands to protect a large number of people who should have been respected but were criticized.

In fact, he did achieve his goal.From high-level leaders to ordinary people, countless people persisted until the end of the ordeal and ushered in a new life because of Grandpa Ye's protection and encouragement.

However, just like the protagonist in "Schindler's List" who cried bitterly because he failed to sell his car to save a few more Jews, Grandpa also blamed himself.He blamed himself for not being strong enough, he blamed himself for not being able to protect more people—even one more.

He too wears a splendid mask;
He also acts on the stage of life;
On this day, I found a kindred spirit.
