I remember the Arabic explanation of "Sahara" is "big desert": vastness, loneliness, poverty and backwardness. You can open your books and taste Sanmao's Hotels in the Desert, Starting from scratch, Saving the World by Hanging Pots, and so on 18 stories. What you feel is not what Arabic explains, but the unique topography and customs of the desert are reflected between the lines, just like walking into a picture full of exotic customs. All this fascinates me, and I have a strong impulse to follow Sanmao's footsteps again.
Deep affection shuttled through Sanmao's fresh, delicate and windy words, and a kind of affection lingered, a kind of love flowed, and a kind of human beauty that shocked the soul began to infiltrate. ...
Sanmao is a woman who lives in the desert. The barren and vast desert is full of endless temptations in her eyes. She bravely abandoned the bustling city life and came to the desert. She was greeted by the harsh environment of rolling yellow sand and whimpering wind, and water and material resources were extremely scarce. And the shabby sand house in the cemetery: narrow and simple, without furniture, without bed, with a big hole at the top ... but all this can't beat San Mao. She and Jose plunged into it and even "moved" the most sacred and desirable wedding in life to the desert.
In difficult days, she and Jose began to design houses, buy lime-cement plastered walls to mend windows, use boxes filled with coffins as furniture, pick up car tires in garbage dumps to make their own "Bird's Nest" cushions, skillfully make homemade wind lanterns with iron sheets and glass, and sew colorful striped curtains with desert linen ..... They actively and optimistically built a "sand castle" full of fun step by step. San Mao said, "After a year, it will become true.
At the same time, Sanmao also walked into the vast desert to explore his true colors. She photographed the life of nomadic people in extremely remote areas with a camera, carried a medicine box with her to treat poor and backward Saharans, and distributed daily necessities to local people ... As the first oriental woman to set foot in the desert, she spread modern civilization with the unique broadness and chivalry of China people.
At the same time, she also watched the ancient civilization and desert customs from the perspective of modern civilization, vividly recording what she saw, heard and felt in the desert. She described the dirty and strange life customs of Saharans when bathing in the desert. Because of the lack of water in the desert, they only take a bath once every three or four years. The way to take a bath is unheard of. They scraped the dirt off their bodies with stones and enema with seawater, which made people really feel the harsh desert environment and backward lifestyle, and also made Sanmao sweat for his life in the desert.
In this way, Sanmao walked in the desert with great courage and wisdom, leaving a vivid, romantic and bizarre story. She is like a flower in the desert, blooming beautifully everywhere, holding life high above the secular world, and that deep love flows in the desert. ...
Thoughts on Reading "The Distant Island"
In the subdirectory of "growing up", there is an article called "Far Island", which tells the story of two children's inner growth. Once upon a time, there were two children who yearned for the mysterious and colorful islands at sea. But one day, when they really set foot on the island, they found that it was just a deformed wilderness. They couldn't believe their eyes. This is the island they yearn for day and night. They have been very sad since they came home and have never seen the island again. After reading this article, I was deeply touched. From infatuation with dreams to gradually understanding the cold reality is also an important part of growth. Everyone's childhood is the season of dreams. When we were young, we read wonderful fairy tales, painted fairy tales, imagined fairy tales freely, listened to cheerful children's songs, made fairy tales and dreamed fairy tales. When we were young, in our eyes, everyone around us was smiling, and every story had a happy ending. The sky can be painted green, lions won't eat people ... everything is so beautiful. However, with the growth of age, time flies, we grow taller, grow up, see more things, know more things. In fact, we have many dreams, but when we really set foot in them, we were suddenly disappointed. Nothing in the world is as beautiful as people think. We will gradually find that not everyone is smiling and not every story has a happy ending. The sky is still blue after all, and lions will still eat people ... I think of an article I read in the essay selection before. It's about the author who is graduating from primary school and wants to be admitted to a key middle school. One night, the author's mother invited several teachers from key middle schools to have dinner at home and gave them gifts to help the author enter the key middle schools smoothly. At that time, the author was deeply touched and surprised. Isn't it true that key middle schools can only enter if they do well in the exam? Why are some people admitted to key middle schools even if they don't study well? Adults said to the author: you are a child, you don't understand. It's true. After all, we are still children. There are still many things we don't understand, but we will still understand as we get older. We will also find that our dreams, like the island in the article Far Island, are just a wilderness. When passionate dreams meet cold reality, we will be sad and sad. "The feeling of growth, in the eyes of outsiders, is the joy of sesame blossom; If you experience it personally, there will be the pain of become a butterfly and the struggle of new birds breaking their shells. " Yes, with the growth of age, there are some things that we have to admit and face. It reminds me of the teacher once said that at our age, we should bid farewell to fairy tales for the time being and read more realistic literary works. Yes, childhood dreams, passionate dreams, and cold reality may be broken one by one, but we just step on the bubbles of these beautiful and colorful dreams and grow up every day.
Thoughts on Reading A Dream of Red Mansions
One is Xianpa in Yuen Long, and the other is flawless jade. If there is no strange fate, I will meet him again in my life. If there is a strange fate, how can my mind be empty? One is crying in vain, and the other is worrying about nothing. One is the moon in the water, and the other is the flower in the mirror. I wonder how many tears there are in my eyes, how can autumn flow to the end of winter and how can spring flow to summer! -"Vanity Eyebrows"
A Dream of Red Mansions is a tragedy with a smile. A Dream of Red Mansions not only describes the life of three generations of a feudal aristocratic family from glory to decline, but also boldly accuses the feudal aristocratic class of its shamelessness and depravity, pointing out their hypocrisy, fraud, greed, decay and sin. It not only points out the inevitable collapse and death of this family, but also implies the inevitable collapse and death of the class and society to which this family belongs. The heroes created and loved by Cao Xueqin's brushwork are two ministers and traitors who dare to judge the dying feudal aristocracy; Those who sympathize and mourn are the victims under the feudal system; What is criticized and denied is the hypocritical morality and unreasonable social system in feudal society. On the one hand, it was the former wood and stone alliance, on the other hand, it was a golden wedding. On the one hand, it is the aura of fame and fortune that feudal society must pursue, on the other hand, it is a fascinating free body. A Dream of Red Mansions written by Cao Xueqin shows us this silent contest. The tragic love story of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu condensed all the smoke in this contest. "One is Xianpa in Yuen Long, and the other is flawless jade." The pursuit of quality is clean and neat. "In the face of all kinds of persecution and indifference under feudal ethics, even at the cost of life, the pursuit of quality and purity has never given up. While lamenting the love tragedy between Jia and Lin, we can see an important factor that caused the tragedy: Lin Daiyu's lofty personality was incompatible with the secular world at that time and could not be "integrated" with society. Her inferiority complex is the embodiment of her self-esteem and the beginning of her tragedy.
In A Dream of Red Mansions, she buries flowers, which is the focus of her personality. Her inferiority, self-esteem and self-pity are fully revealed in her "mourning poems": "Flowers wither, flowers fly all over the sky, and the fragrance dies. Who has pity for the fragrance?" "Three hundred and sixty days a year, the wind knife frost sword pressure, bright and bright, a wandering is hard to find. Flowers bloom easily, but they fall hard to find. I am worried about burying people in front of the steps, stealing flowers and crying alone, and spilling blood on the branches. " "May Nong have wings this day and fly to the end of the day with flowers. The day is over! Where is Xiangshan? Without a trick, I hid my love with a pure land. It's better to be clean than trapped in a ditch. I am going to die and be buried, but I don't know when Nong will die. The man who buried the flowers is laughing today, but who did he know when he buried them? Let's see the residual flowers of spring gradually falling, which is the time when beauty dies of old age. If you don't mourn for me, I don't know that flowers will fall and people will die. "
A secular person can't understand her thoughts. "I am dead and buried, but when will I die?" The man who buried the flowers is laughing today. Who did he know when he buried them? "In the face of falling flowers, she thought of the scene after her death, and she couldn't let go and shed tears. In front of feudal ethics, her inferiority aroused her self-esteem. When Baoyu was beaten, it was difficult for a clever woman to send Dan medicine to Xue Baochai, who had no rice to cook, and she also advised Baoyu to change his ways with admonition. As a supporter of Baoyu, a rebel of feudal ethics, Lin Daiyu, who is kind and aloof, just cried blindly, tears like peaches. Her crying is not weak. She sincerely supported Baoyu with her unique emotional experience of crying, and silently opposed feudal ethics. Therefore, it is only recently that I have a heart and a favorite.
"Quiet as a flower shines on the water, moving like a weak willow, the heart is dry, and the disease is as good as Xizi wins three points." Through Jia Baoyu's eyes, the author depicts a morbid beauty that is intelligent, versatile, beautiful and weak. Such a weak woman ignores the secular traditional laws and does the opposite. After countless times of destruction, when the end of life came, the ferocious face of feudal society accelerated her death. After reading A Dream of Red Mansions, we will never forget the scene before Daiyu died. When she was dying, Zijuan asked for help everywhere, but no one wanted to help. The old lady moved Baoyu's marriage to another place to avoid disaster. On the one hand, it is a festive scene of marriage, on the other hand, it is a sadness before death. "The day is over! Where is Xiangshan? " No wonder Daiyu buried flowers and kept chanting. Where is a clean and ideal place? Where is my own ideal place? Is it Xiang Qiu? The real society I live in now is filthy. I want to find my ideal place. Daiyu will never give up her pursuit of freedom until she dies. We are worried and dissatisfied with this. Under the yoke of feudalism, a pair of young men and women who are pursuing freedom are writing Where Are You Going? "Don't mourn for me, I don't know if the flowers fall and people die!" In this way, Daiyu passed away in the sound of Baoyu's wedding drums. Left with her sweetness. Where is the sweetness? Sweetness gains understanding and love in a world where one person does not accept the world and the world does not accept people. In the lonely world, Baoyu is the eternal warmth in her heart. In this world where love is nowhere to be found, Baoyu is the eternal pain in her heart. Although in the end she became a victim of those feudal systems.
"It's true when it's fake, it's really fake, and there's no way." The fake is true, which makes people wonder everything in A Dream of Red Mansions. As a soul figure, Lin Daiyu is different from ordinary people. She is her, a bunch of lofty, aloof and narcissistic empty valleys. Lin Daiyu's inferiority complex was given by fate, and she also wrote about her fate.
Reflections on reading troubles
After reading Chekhov's Distress, I deeply felt the misery of people living at the bottom of society. Distress tells the story of a rickshaw driver Jonah pulling a rickshaw on a winter night. Jonah's son died in the hospital this week. His old man has lost his wife, and now he is lonely and numb with grief. He received several groups of passengers, and tried to tell them his distress and grief several times on the way, but they scolded him because people thought he was absent-minded. Late at night, he went back to the garage, but he didn't even earn money to feed the horses oats. Darkness, loneliness and sadness returned to him, and the cold weather made his heart even colder. He gently stroked his faithful little mare and told all this ... Jonah, the driver, was just one of the people in Qian Qian who lived at the bottom of society and had a miserable fate. These people are poor, helpless and miserable. They can't enjoy life, and they run for it every day. They lead a hard life and often worry about the next meal. These people work hard for a living. Who can they talk to about their troubles? How many people really understand them, care about them and help them? People living at the bottom of society think that life is unimaginable for us ordinary people, and they have more troubles than us ordinary people. In fact, no matter which society is prosperous or backward, there are people living at the bottom of society, and their fate is equally tragic. After watching "Distress", I remembered the old people who lived by collecting garbage in the street. These old people are in rags, hunched over and carrying heavy garbage bags. In summer, they walk in the streets in the hot sun and in winter, braving the cold wind. Sometimes they rummage through dirty trash cans to see if they have anything to sell, and sometimes they follow pedestrians to pick up cans and packaging bags they have left behind. These old people may be childless, abandoned by their children, disabled or uneducated. They don't have much labor force, so they can only live this poor life and live at the bottom of society. But also be looked down upon and despised by people. They have been depressed for a long time. To whom do they tell their troubles? Some of them are suffering from the grief of losing their children, some are suffering from the desolation of being abandoned by their children, some are suffering from the inferiority of the disabled, and some are suffering from the regret of "being young and not working hard" ... These people all hide their worries in their hearts, can't find anyone to complain about, and have no time to grieve for spring and autumn, because the next meal is not decided because of the slowness. Jonah, the coachman in trouble, has a miserable life, but he is not alone.
Reflections on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms describes the rise and fall of the Three Kingdoms, which has gone through five periods: the Yellow Scarf Uprising, the Dong Zhuo Uprising, the separatist regime (Guandu Battle, Battle of Red Cliffs), the tripartite confrontation among the three realms, and the return of the three realms to Jin.
The Yellow Scarf Uprising began in Taoyuan. After the Yellow turban insurrectionary uprising, the Eastern Han government counterattacked, Liu Bei, Cao Cao and other heroes appeared, and the Eastern Han regime was about to perish.
Dong Zhuo's Rebellion tells the story of Dong Zhuo's rescue from He Jin's struggle with ten courtiers to Shao Di's escape from Beijing before and after he entered Beijing. After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he bought Lu Bu, abolished Shao Di, established Xian Di, monopolized power, and practiced tyranny, forcing the allied forces to cut Dong Zhuo. Although the allied forces failed later, Dong Zhuo was finally killed by Lu Bu.
After the death of Dong Zhuo, the princes in the Central Plains were leaderless. In order to expand their territory, they were mainly divided into three war zones, namely Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in the north, the rise of Sun Ce in Jiangdong, and the war between Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Lu Bu and Yuan Shu in the Central Plains.
After that, I won't elaborate on the three points in the world, and the world belongs to gold. The most important thing is to talk about my own understanding and views on the romance of the Three Kingdoms.
In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao is my favorite. Although Liu Bei was written as a traitor in order to highlight his righteousness, his military talent has not been obliterated. During the years of crusade against the West, he occupied a large area of land north of the Yangtze River, and even ethnic minorities surrendered to him. He is the most talented of the three monarchs, and Wei is also the most powerful of the three. He laid the foundation of Wei, and later Jin was able to enter Wei.
The thirst for talents is also a place worthy of appreciation for Cao Cao. In order to select more talents, Cao Cao broke the standard of appointing officials according to feudal virtue and the rank of his younger brothers, and put forward the employment policy of "meritocracy". In the spring of 2 10 A.D., Cao Cao summed up the historical experience at the beginning of the stage, and thought that since ancient times, there was no one who was the founding emperor and the king of Zhongxing without talents to rule the world together, and talents often did not leave the hutong. This is by no means an opportunity, but a search and visit by those in power. In view of this, Cao Cao pointed out that now the world is undecided, and it is the moment to be thirsty for talents. He hopes that people around him will not consider their origins and help him find and recommend those who are born in poverty and buried. In AD 2 14 and 2 17, Cao Cao issued a talent-seeking order twice, repeatedly emphasizing his "meritocracy" policy in employing people. He asked personnel departments at all levels and local officials not to pursue perfection when selecting talents, even if they have such shortcomings, as long as they are truly talented. After some efforts, Cao Wei concentrated a large number of talents. For a time, all localities and regions. Advisers are like rain. For talented people, Cao forgot the past. For example, Chen Lin, who was originally a subordinate of Yuan Shao, once drafted a campaign for Yuan Shao, cursing Cao Caozu for three generations. After Yuan Shao's defeat, Chen Lin defected to Cao Cao. Cao Cao asked him, "You wrote to Yuan Shao before, and a person scolded me. Why did you scold my ancestors for three generations? Chen Lin hurriedly.
Cao Cao's success is not only because of his outstanding talent and good at recruiting talents, but also because of his broad mind. After the fiasco in Chibi, Cao Cao did not feel helpless, but smiled and said, "Today's North is still under my control". San Xiao showed optimism about the setbacks. Cao Cao is also a person who is very interested in literature. He likes to write poems. Even if the war is imminent, his interest will not change. Many of his poems are music.
Reflections on Water Margin
"The First Secretary of the Water Margin" tells the heroic story of 108 heroes headed by Song Jiang, who were murdered by traitors from gathering Yishui, winning the support of the imperial court, crushing the Liao soldiers and finally destroying the rebels. After reading the whole book, there are only two words left in my mind: loyalty and righteousness.
Loyalty means doing your best for your motherland, your relatives and friends around you. Song Jiang is still loyal to the motherland under various threats and inducements, which is loyalty; After Lin Chong was caught up with Liangshan, Lin Chong's wife abused Gao Qiu's son. She would rather die than surrender and eventually hanged herself. This is also loyalty. In today's society, I believe many people can achieve the word "loyalty", but few people can achieve the word "righteousness".
A word "righteousness" contains too much content. In the Water Margin, 108 heroes are brothers, who go through fire and water for their friends and do everything for a word "righteousness". For the people, you have to fight for the word "righteousness". So, although "righteousness" is only three words, sometimes you have to write it with a person's life. In real life, almost anyone can give up his seat, but not everyone can, because it requires considerable courage, even the determination to trade one life for another.
Righteousness can be interpreted as justice. A person with a strong sense of justice is a person with noble spirit. How many heroes have given their lives for righteousness through the ages? Aren't they afraid of death? They can risk their lives for justice and truth, because a strong sense of justice clearly tells them what not to do and what is worth fighting for with their lives. A person who has no sense of justice will not understand this, because his sense of justice has been swallowed up by numbness, his passion for struggle has been frozen, but his soul has been assimilated by some ugly things in society.
I still remember clearly that there is a black man among the heroes of the Water Margin. He is reckless and grumpy. He often conflicts with others because of trivial matters, and even leads to murder. But he can see the bumps in the road and draw out his sword to help those unscrupulous guys. In real life, although there is no such thrilling event, the word "righteousness" permeates our lives. Loyalty to friends is filial piety. Just look at people or things we don't understand with a fair eye, which is the sense of justice in the realistic sense. When Japan invaded China, many loyal revolutionary martyrs worked hard with their blood to make today's thriving motherland. Dong Cunrui laid down his life to bomb the bunker, and Huang Jiguang blocked the enemy's machine gun with his chest. These are the continuation of the Chinese people's sense of justice.
One can not believe in God, but one can also not believe in "holiness". At present, the most important task for us teenagers is to build our motherland more prosperous. Therefore, this is also the foundation of our national justice. Let us believe in this "sacredness" and maintain this "sacredness" with our own hands.
