Reading notes-
The poet said, "Shanghai belongs to Zhang Ailing, and Beijing belongs to Lin." .
After a lapse of five years, rereading "Old Things in the South of the City", clever and kind Xiaoying, wearing a red coat, still brings us many memories and feelings, which are precisely the background color of our life and accompany us to forge ahead. ?
Childhood is very beautiful, there is a happy girl, a kind show Jane, a simple and honest thief, and a simple and selfless Ma Song.
Childhood is also naive, I can't tell the blue sky from the sea, and I can't tell the good guys from the bad guys.
Summer passed, autumn passed, winter came again, and the camel team came again, but childhood is gone forever.
1, with good intentions, all eyes are beautiful.
I once read a sentence: "because of love, homeless people can return home;" Because of love, a tired soul can be full of vitality as always. "
Xiaoying, the protagonist, lives in a wealthy intellectual family, and with a good family education, she has been smart and kind since childhood.
Xiuzhen, a "madman" in Huian Pavilion, fell in love with a college student and gave birth out of wedlock. Daughter Xiao Guizi was abandoned by her family as soon as she was born. Xiuzhen is crazy because she misses her children.
A girl, a childhood friend, was beaten by her adoptive parents and made things difficult for her neighbors. She practiced hanging her voice to make money at an early age. After all, the girl can't stand domestic violence and has to leave home to find her biological parents.
In contact with Xiuzhen and Buff, Xiaoying accidentally discovers that Buff is Xiaoguizi who Xiuzhen misses day and night, and it seems that the mother and daughter are about to usher in the dawn of fate.
The story of the mother and daughter's suffering is the talk of others after dinner, but Xiaoying saw their weakness and helplessness.
Xiaoying often chats with Xiuzhen when adults are not paying attention, and listens to her tell the story of Xiaoguizi and the past of that college student. Xiuzhen is full of joy and happiness.
I think this should be the happiest and warmest time for Xiuzhen after she went crazy.
Xiaoying gently said "I like you", which made Xiuzhen cry, and the soft place in her heart collapsed again.
The girl's life is very rough, and she has suffered too many children's ridicule and abuse. Xiaoying sympathizes with her, always takes care of her, encourages her, and brings her happiness and courage to live.
Without Xiaoying, the girl may not run away from home against the domestic violence of her adoptive parents, nor will she chase the train with Xiuzhen to find her father. .....
In an empty yard full of weeds, Xiaoying didn't panic, didn't escape, and didn't report the case.
She saw the thief's simple and honest life and necessity, and also saw the thief's hope for his brother to live a better life.
Although I can't tell the blue sky from the sea, and I can't tell the good guys from the bad guys, Xiaoying still hopes to make an appointment with him to "go to see the sea together."
Under all beings, Xiaoying, who understands empathy, has a clear image.
Xiuzhen, Niu and thief are all lonely and miserable, and only Xiaoying gives them warmth and kindness.
Hugo said, "A kind heart is the sun".
Kindness is a good medicine for a miserable life, a beam of sunshine that warms you and me, and makes a gloomy life see sunshine again, and a lonely heart is no longer depressed.
Some people say that the world is in chaos and there are too many intrigues. Do we still have goodwill?
Want it.
Because kindness is love and awe of life.
Because kindness is what life should be like.
Lev tolstoy once said: "If' good' has a reason, it is no longer good; If' goodness' has its result, it cannot be called' goodness', and' goodness' is something that transcends causality. "
Kindness has nothing to do with cause and effect, and has nothing to do with reincarnation.
A truly kind person is one who keeps a heart of pity and treats life well after experiencing all kinds of ugliness and darkness in life.
2. Parting is a compulsory course in life.
"Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is blue and the sky is blue ..."
Separation, throughout the novel, is the theme of the article.
Girls are weak and kind, but they are not treated well by life. It is common for adoptive parents to beat and scold. Girls can't stand finding their biological parents. With Xiaoying's kind help, she finally found her mother Xiuzhen, but she was in a hurry to catch the train to find her father. While expecting a family reunion, her mother and daughter were buried under the wheel together. ......
Saying goodbye to Xiuzhen and the girl, and also to the old house and alley, Xiaoying fell ill. .....
Moved into a new home, childhood continued, and life was still beautiful. However, I met a thief friend by chance. The thief had to start stealing in order to help his brother learn. Xiaoying was moved by his sincerity and kindness, but he didn't want to inadvertently reveal the thief's hiding place.
The police caught the thief.
Seeing off the thief's friend and the agreement of "going to see the sea together", Xiaoying cried. ....
Ma Song, who is a long-term worker, is kind. For the sake of livelihood, she misses the company and growth of her children. Her husband is idle, addicted to alcohol, and a pair of children are sold to death.
In the year of graduation, Ma Song left with her husband's carriage.
Saying goodbye to Ma Song and childhood dependence, Xiaoying slowly saw through the joys and sorrows of the world. .....
Father is Xiaoying's life mentor, and his sternness, inculcation and commitment came to an abrupt end in the year when he graduated from primary school. His father died of illness and missed her graduation ceremony.
Xiaoying said, "Dad's flowers are gone, and I am no longer a child. If a person's life is divided into several sections, the death of his father is an important section in my life. "
After bidding farewell to her father, Xiaoying grew up. ......
Qu Yuan said in Nine Songs Less Life: "Don't be sad, be sad, and be separated".
The most painful thing in life is parting, but parting is a compulsory course in life.
Every time I leave, I leave a deep impression in my memory.
Every time we leave, we are tasting the bitterness of life, but we become strong and rational in the bitterness.
Each of us has our own "past events in the south of the city" in our hearts, savoring life in memories, summing up ourselves in taste, and growing constantly in summary.
Misfortune happens every day, but we should have our own small fortunate.
La Rochefoucauld said: "No matter how unfortunate life is, smart people will always get a little benefit from it;" No matter how happy life is, stupid people will always feel infinite sadness. "
Xiaoying obviously belongs to the former.
Her childhood was not all beautiful and perfect, but she didn't indulge in pain or sigh in memories. She keeps growing, becoming better and more responsible.
If we only focus on the immediate misfortune, we will lack the motivation to pursue, and we will not see the hope of tomorrow.
Chen Xiaoting, a one-eyed teacher in Guangdong, lives a wonderful life with her own efforts on the road where others can't see hope.
She said: "In fact, life is a process of accepting, appreciating and liking yourself. I expect the audience to open me up as a little girl who loves life but still loves life with a little defect. "
Everyone is carrying a heavy load.
Accept your imperfections and life's frustrations, and life will open another window for us.
In late autumn, a sanitation worker suddenly fantasized about romance on a street corner full of fallen leaves, raised his hand and scattered a pile of fallen leaves into the air, turned around intoxicated and fantasized that he was in a beautiful and romantic situation.
This uncle must love life.
Hard work, physical exhaustion and meager income can't stop him from harvesting his own little happiness. It's amazing!
Don't envy other people's lives, learn to take pleasure in suffering, which is the greatest respect for life.
Dreiser said: "Life is always good, whether in the worst time or in the best time, it has always been good."
In the years to come, there may be ups and downs, and everything may be as usual. I hope you and I are all well and have a sunny heart.
