103-Year-Old Chinese Youth Leader Wen Huaisha Spreads the Teachings of Taoism Westward
NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2013 /Pamela Ramirez, PRNewswire/ -- Unleashing the power of silence—especially not immediately reacting to criticism—is not new advice. Over the centuries each of the world's spiritual and cultural leaders has given us counsel in this arena. Benjamin Franklin, for one, instructed us to "Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment."
For 1.7 billion Chinese, the writer, artist, TV commentator AND religious guru Wen Huaisha is both a living treasure and a controversial figure because he clearly enjoys publicity and public speaking in a country where modesty, especially among the elderly, is held in high esteem. And, while he may not seem humble, Wen, who was reportedly born in 1910, is certainly elderly—at 103 years of age!
One of Wen's most enthusiastic supporters is successful businessman Pu Gu, who interviewed Wen at his home in Beijing and wrote a popular article on his visit: "China's Centenarian Sage and the Power of Silence." Gu is senior vice president of Shenzhen Bauing Construction Group Co., Ltd., a multi-billion dollar publically-traded company in Guangdong province hailed in 2012 for "Outstanding Enterprise Culture Contribution." Gu is passionate about preserving China's traditional culture, co-founding the "Chinese Beijing Jundetang Culture Communication Group." He is determined to keep Wen's wisdom in the forefront for younger generations of Chinese, while spreading Wen's reputation throughout the West.
"Wen is an inspiration to everyone," says Pu Gu. "He grew up during the revolution that overthrew the Qing dynasty, lived through two wars, the Cultural Revolution, has been imprisoned, and has tales to tell beyond anyone's imagination. If you see him walk, talk, greet people, or even sit at table and have lunch, you will be surprised at how much more animated and fluid in movement and speech he is than most 30 year olds. He has even mastered the use of modern technology, and is about to complete the largest volume of written work on the planet!"
In Pu Gu's article he reports that In today's world of constant chatter, where people are quick to blame and to criticise, Wen is an important voice, especially in calling on Chinese youth to reconnect with the teachings of Taoism. He quotes Wen, who told him: "What is distinct about Taoism is the power of silence. The best response to criticism is to say nothing. To do this is to reach the highest level of human achievement - to hold the truth profoundly in your mind but to say nothing."
Thanks to Pu Gu's determination to spread Wen Huaisha's wisdom across the planet, this still highly productive centenarian can serve as an inspiration to all of us to live our lives fully, up to the last moment, while respecting the appropriateness and power of silence—hopefully as he has, past the age 100 mark!

103 歲的中國＂青年＂領袖文懷沙向西方國家傳遞道家真諦
2013年8月6日，帕梅拉 ? 拉米雷斯 美國紐約報道
釋放沉默的力量----特別是面對指責不進行立即回應----一直都是前輩們對年輕人為人處事的建議。過去幾個世紀里，幾乎每一個精神和文化領袖都曾給過人們類似的建議。本杰明?富蘭克林也曾指導我們：＂講話的真正的藝術不僅是在適當時候講適當的話，而且要在最誘人的時刻不要講錯誤的話。＂
對于17億中國人來說，國學家、藝術家和精神領袖文懷沙是人類的活寶藏，也是一個受爭議的人物，因為1910年出生現年103歲的他，能在一個提倡＂靦腆＂的國度里不拘一格地談笑風生，難免會讓一些人覺得他不夠＂謙虛＂
古樸是文老眾多支持者中最為熱情之一，他在文老北京家里拜訪了這位大師后很受啟發，于是寫了一篇頗受歡迎的文章叫《大辯不言》。古樸是深圳市寶鷹建設集團股份有限公司的副總裁，一家位于中國廣東省擁有數十億年產值的企業，該公司在2012年還被評為＂廣東省優秀企業文化突出貢獻單位＂。古先生對保護和傳承中國傳統文化非常具有熱情，他還專門創建一家文化傳播企業叫北京俊德堂文化傳播股份有限公司。他似乎很有決心向中國年輕一代傳播文老的智慧，并向西方國家介紹文老的功德。
＂文老對每個人來說都是一種鼓舞＂，古樸說，＂他生于民國初期，經歷了兩場世界大戰，還有文化大革命，曾含冤入獄，重病摧殘，他的思想、他的情懷是豐富得超乎人們想象的。如果你仔細觀察他走路、說話、與人打招呼、或者吃飯，你會驚訝地發現，他其實就是一個30歲的小伙子嘛！他還對很多現代技術產品也運用自如，還有他還主編了一部大型叢書叫《四部文明》。
古樸在其文章中提及到，在當今浮躁的社會，人們很容易抱怨和指責。文老的智慧就是一種很重要的聲音，呼吁年輕一代注重禮樂和＂正清和＂。在文中，古樸寫道：＂老子的思想，就是最大的辯家不開口，叫大辯不言。陶淵明講：此中有真意，欲辯已忘言，這是最高境界......＂
多虧古樸向全世界傳播文懷沙的智慧，才使得我們可以享受來自這位仍然有高效產能的百歲老人的精神和文化大餐，從而使得我們的生活更趨完美。伴隨著大辯不言的智慧，希望古樸先生也長命超百歲！
