( A )One day I visited an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view of the art works.A young couple viewing the painting ahead of me chatted nonstop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided the wife was doing all the talk. I admired the husband’s patience for putting up with her continuous talk. Annoyed by their noise, I moved on.I saw them several more times as I moved through the different rooms. Each time I heard her talk and talk, I moved away quickly.I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop when the couple came towards the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He pulled it into a long stick and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get his wif e’s jacket.“He’s a brave man,” the clerk at the counter said. “Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. During his recovery, he made a promise that his life wouldn’t change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever there is a new art show.”“But what does he get out of the art?” I asked. “He can’t see.”“Can’t see? You’re wrong. He sees a lot. More than you and I do,” the clerk said.“His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his mind.”I learned something about patience, courage and love that day.

In 1917 he joined the army and was sent to Alabama. There he met his future wife Zelda Sayre. Then he decided to make some money to impress her.His life with her was full of great happiness, as he wrote in h is diary: “My own happiness in the past often approached such joy that I could share it even with the person dearest to me but had to walk it away in quiet streets and take down parts of it in my diary.”This side of paradise, his first novel, was published in 1920. Encouraged by its success, Fitzgerald began to devote more time to his writing. Then he continued with the novel the Beautiful and Damned (1922), a collection of short stories Thales of the Jazz Age (1922), and a play The Vegetable (1923). But his greatest success was The Great Gatsby, published in 1925, which quickly brought him praise from the literary world. Yet it failed to give him the needed financial security. Then, in 1926, he published another collection of short stories All the Sad Young Men.However, Fitzgerald’s problems with his wife Zelda affected his writing. During the 1920s he tried to reorder his life, but failed. By 1930, his wife had her first breakdown and went to a Swiss clinic (诊所). During this period he completed novel Tender Is the Night in 1934. While his wife was in hospital in the United Stated he started to drink too much wine.

But this doesn't mean that Americans don't care about Confucius.In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. To help spread an understanding of Chinese culture, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses on Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy (哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take strengths of ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for various weaknesses in Westerners philosophy. Students in the USA, atthe same time, are racing to learn Chinese, so they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the USA. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers. So the old thinke r’s ideas are still alive and well.Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.(36).
