Fu Hua looked at Sun Shouyi with a wry smile and said, "Secretary Sun, I am not a professional doctor. I have nothing to teach you about your situation."
"It’s not like this Fu Hua. Professional doctors are useless to me. I have already asked top foreign experts to treat me for my disease through relationships, but it’s useless at all. I will feel better at the moment of treatment. , But after a few days, the symptoms will recur and the condition will worsen. I have lost confidence in the doctor now."
"Secretary Sun, I sympathize with your situation," Fu Hua said with a wry smile, "but for things that doctors don't recruit, I'm even less able to recruit a layman."
"Fu Hua, you must be able to do it, please," Sun Shouyi looked at Fu Hua pitifully, "I am really scared in my heart now, I am afraid that one day I will not be able to restrain myself from wanting to get rid of these painful thoughts. Find a roof like those patients and jump down from it."
"Secretary Sun, I really don't know how to save you," Fu Hua said with a wry smile, "You are sick, I dare not prescribe you a prescription casually."
"What I want you to teach me is not a prescription. All prescriptions for my disease are ineffective. What I want is your state of detachment from life. Tell me that you can do it like you. Everything is detached."
Fu Hua also thinks about it, depression is a kind of mental illness, it is a kind of illness that personally is affected by some negative factors psychologically. Therefore, in medicine, psychological counseling by psychologists and psychological hints such as hypnosis are often used as the method of symptomatic treatment of depression. In general, based on his understanding of Sun Shouyi, he still knows the root of Sun Shouyi's disease. Maybe he could try to enlighten Sun Shouyi.
However, this kind of enlightenment cannot simply relieve Sun Shouyi’s psychological problems like the psychiatrist, but the next strong medicine to get Sun Shouyi to get rid of what he has regarded as the pillar of life for half of his life-official career . In fact, as far as Fu Hua feels, many officials now have mental illnesses, and one of the main reasons is that their promotion and derogation on official careers is the risk of gains and losses.
They are all eager to climb to a higher position. Once they are unsatisfactory, or they receive a blow in their official career, their psychology will be distorted, and their personal behavior will have some abnormal practices. Although there is no intersection between his later career and Sun Shouyi's career, he still knows the career of Sun Shouyi.
In his personal feelings, he felt that the psychological change in Sun Shouyi might be inseparable from the two blows Sun Shouyi encountered. One was Sun Shouyi's failure to compete with the executive vice governor of Donghai Province, and one was the outbreak of Zhao Gongfu's series of litigation cases. Sun Shouyi was subject to scrutiny for this reason.
Before these two setbacks, Sun Shouyi's official career went smoothly, and he got the promotion he wanted at almost every key point. This allows him to always be one step ahead in the competition with his peers. But the failure of the Deputy Governor of Competition changed the situation.
Although Fu Hua didn't understand Sun Shouyi's mental journey during that time, he could still feel one thing, that is, at that moment, Sun Shouyi's entire fortune began to decline. Perhaps it was at that moment that the marriage between Sun Shouyi and Shen Jia had an irreversible rift. It is estimated that because of the failure of the vice governor of the competition, Sun Shouyi's mentality was unbalanced, he lost control of himself, and began to no longer control his emotional aversion to Shen Jia.
For an official, living with a mask is not a problem. As long as you keep on carrying it, over time, wearing a mask to live, talk and do things will become a kind of inertia. If you pretend to be for the rest of your life, then you are what you pretend to be. People.
The most dangerous thing for an official is that you pretend to be halfway, and suddenly you don't want to pretend, you want to let yourself go. Sun Shouyi, who was able to get what he wanted for most of his life, suddenly couldn't get what he wanted. This must have made him psychologically frustrated, and even worthless for himself. He felt that he would spend half his life with an ugly woman like Shen Jia. It is too wronged.
After the mentality is unbalanced, he must have said something excessive to Shen Jia. This has laid an irreparable rift in the relationship between husband and wife. Later, although Sun Shouyi was comfortably assigned a deputy director who was not ranked high by the Development and Reform Commission, his decline in his official career was irreversible, not to mention a series of Zhao Gongfu's nest cases soon occurred.
Although the Zhaogongfuwo case did not allow the organization to find out Sun Shouyi’s own illegal actions, it does not mean that there is no such thing. The organization must have noticed that Sun Shouyi is a problem, but Sun Shouyi is confidential enough, and there is no What is left to allow the organization to punish him.
In this climate of comprehensive control of officials' corruption, Sun Shouyi must know that even if he was not caught in the organization, Zhao Gong's retrial would also announce the end of his career. He can barely stay in the position of deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission this time, and he will definitely go to some more marginal positions until he retires in the next term.
For an official who has been working hard for half his life in official career, why is this really embarrassing? This is equivalent to saying that he has been sullen and desperately climbing up, and suddenly someone told him that no matter how hard he tried, he would not be able to climb the top of the mountain. So the goal of half a lifetime's hard work collapsed in one day.
At the same time, another heavy blow followed, and Shen Jia divorced him at this time. In fact, in terms of Fu Hua's overall evaluation of Sun Shouyi, although he has some abilities, his mere personal ability is not enough for him to climb to such a high position. He can reach the current high position, to a large extent, relying on the support of Zhao Lao's family behind Shen Jia.
Basically without the support of Zhao Lao's department, Sun Shouyi is also a very mediocre member of the civil service team, and has no ability to settle down. Some of his achievements in Haichuan City are inseparable from Shen Jia's teaching and Zhao Lao's use of the contacts and resources he controls. It can be said that he is nothing if he leaves Shen Jia and Zhao Lao.
This is probably the saddest thing about Sun Shouyi. His prestigious and domineering experience in Haichuan City made him forget about it. He thought he could survive on this career without Shen Jia and Zhao Lao. But it's actually not the case. An official who has lost its foundation is a reed at the top of a wall, and a random gust of wind can blow it up and down.
Shen Jia and Zhao Lao were not even interested in hitting him. Just letting him fend for himself is enough to make him embarrassed. He has become a marginal person, although he is still in charge of some things. It is still a benchmark that many officials can hardly reach. But he had no hope. In the eyes of some discerning people, he is equivalent to a dead person.
From a rising star to a dead person in the eyes of others, how big a psychological gap is this? So it is understandable that Sun Shouyi's mentality collapsed.
But Fu Hua didn't think that Sun Shouyi was incorrigible. In fact, despite his passion for official career, Sun Shouyi is still a middle-to-high performance official. Most of his deeds when he served in Haichuan City were for the good of Haichuan City. Nor did he deliberately entrap anyone for his own benefit. This made Fu Hua still have a good impression of him in his heart.
Fu Hua feels that he can give Sun Shouyi some suggestions, but to really get Sun Shouyi out of depression, he still has to rely on Sun Shouyi himself. It depends on whether he is willing to really let go of some things, and whether Sun Shouyi has it. That perseverance fights the disease.
Fu Hua glanced at Sun Shouyi: "Secretary Sun, I have a few suggestions for your situation. First of all, I want to ask you a question. Have you done anything in your past life with your own strength? ?"
Sun Shouyi was stunned by the question. In the past, he had been a senior member of the field, and he had done some things, but when those things were done, they were done with the help of the whole machine. It cannot be said that they were done by his own strength alone. of. Basically, since he started working, he stayed in the bureaucratic machine, and he really didn't rely on his own strength to accomplish a thing.
Fu Hua basically knew what the answer was without waiting for Sun Shouyi to answer, so he asked the second question: "Secretary Sun, do you have your own life goals? Of course, in addition to climbing to a higher position in the official career, Do you have goals that are more meaningful to people and more useful?"
Sun Shouyi was puzzled when he was asked. Only then did he realize that he really had no other meaningful goals in his life besides money rights and women. He glanced at Fu Hua: "You don’t want me to dedicate my life to those charitable things that are being promoted outside for the pleasure of helping people.? You are also a smart person, don’t you know that these are all used by others. It's just a tool for making money."
Fu Hua smiled and said: "In fact, many things in this world are based on faith. You see that most people in the Western world believe in Christianity. That is also true of faith. Only believers in it can gain inner peace. I believe that many Christians do not believe that God created this huge world within seven days."
"God really used to create the world for only six days. On the seventh day, he rested," Sun Shouyi said with a wry smile, "but Fu Hua what you said is useless to me. It's not a simple belief. You can save me. Faith is not something you can believe by just saying it."
"Don't worry, after listening to my last question, you will know that it is useful or useless, Secretary Sun, is your life more important to you, or is your official position more important to you?"
