"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.
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 heart 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. It's easier to see flowers than to find them. I'm worried about burying the flower man in front of the steps. I only steal flowers and shed tears, but I can see the blood stains 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 died 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 Pride and Prejudice
Austin's Pride and Prejudice, as she said, is a masterpiece carved on two inches of ivory. This novel reflecting the marriage problem is the most popular among the author's works. It is also her favorite work. Her works vividly reflect the life and social conditions of British villages and towns in a conservative and closed state from the end of 18 to the beginning of 19. Her novels with picturesque social customs not only attracted a large number of readers at that time, but also gave readers unique artistic enjoyment today. She is the first novelist who realistically describes ordinary kindness in daily life and plays a connecting role in the history of English novels.
The whole work has no momentum and twists and turns, but it is this simplicity and exquisiteness that deeply attracts us. Austin spent almost all her short life in the English countryside, perhaps because the simple and quiet atmosphere around her gave birth to her indifferent temperament. It is because of her lack of rich experience that she has doubts about her analytical ability. Anyone who has read Pride and Prejudice will be deeply impressed by her delicate and sensitive feelings. She does have little contact with the outside world, but the existence of thoughts and imagination is enough.
Read A Farewell to Arms.
A person who bid farewell to weapons is either a prisoner of the enemy or a prisoner of love. I am not bad at self-protection, but I am really a person who gives up self-protection. Just like the database of life, you can open all programs and read all files at any time without entering a password. The prisoner I'm talking about is a prisoner in this sense. When I put myself in the sun, I understand that I can't pretend anymore. The thought of hidden days is disturbing. When I realized the helplessness of resistance, how much time was irreversible and how many memories faded out of my heart. In the final analysis, the prisoner is an irresistible person, that is, he must have enough courage to give up hope and bear all the pressure of survival. Originally, in a personal space, he could immerse himself in his own fantasy and open virtual flowers from the dust. And a person who gives up self-protection can't even fool himself.
Reflections on Hamlet
Shakespeare's Hamlet is a classic. This book is not much different from historical legends in surface plot. It tells the story of the Danish prince's revenge for his father, full of bloody violence and death. As the dramatist Horatio said, you can hear the result of rape and murder, abnormal repair, unconscious judgment, accidental slaughter, skillful murder and self-mutilation. With an eye to revenge, Hamlet rushed back to China from Wittenberg to attend his father's funeral. What he couldn't accept was that he did not attend his father's funeral, but witnessed the wedding of his mother and uncle Claudius, which made Hamlet suspicious. In addition, he saw his father's ghost on the terrace of the palace castle at night, complaining that this atrocity was done by Hamlet's uncle and demanding his revenge for his father. At this point, he started.
"There are a group of children playing games in a large wheat field. Thousands of children, none of them are around-none of them are adults, I mean, except me. As for me, I'm standing on the edge of that damn cliff. My job is to observe there. If any child looks at the edge of the cliff, I will catch him-I mean, all the children are running, and I don't know where I am running.
The Catcher in the Rye vividly depicts the depressed and wandering spiritual world of a middle-class child through the first-person and juvenile style, exposes the social atmosphere of pursuing material life and spiritual life in capitalist society from the protagonist's side, and tells the essence of capitalism.
Horton, the hero, is one of the few negative images in the literary works I have read. His character is deeply influenced by capitalist society, which has both an ugly side and an innocent side that resists reality and pursues his own ideals. In the book, Horton is a degenerate teenager who refuses to study hard and idles all day. Why doesn't he study hard? Is it because there is so much material in capitalist society that there is no need to learn? Look at the environment in which Holden lives, and it is not difficult to understand. The teachers at school and his parents forced him to study, just to make him "get ahead so that he can buy a fucking Cadillac in the future." Most of the teachers in the school are snobbish hypocrites, and even the only teacher he admired at first later found out that he might be gay. The teacher said to him, "the sign of an immature man is that he is willing to die bravely for a certain cause." The sign of a mature man is that he lives humbly for some reason. " The teacher's indoctrination is a capitalist creed permeated with strong egoism and utilitarianism. Living in such an environment, how can Holden find valuable spiritual sustenance or lofty ideals? He doesn't want to go along with them, so naturally he can't study hard. On the surface, his laziness is decadent and decadent, but in essence it is the most ruthless exposure of capitalist values. The author described everyone around Holden as "fake people". He doesn't like everything around him. He wants to escape from this nightmare real world and go to a remote mountain village, but it is impossible to really do it. He hates watching it. He hates his vain, opinionated and beautiful girlfriend. He doesn't like the world, but he can't change it; He even hates himself, but there is no reference standard to correct his shortcomings (that is, he has no perseverance). Such a world outlook and outlook on life doomed him to live in contradiction. Holden can only use fantasy to extricate himself, deceive himself, and finally compromise with the society he hates and continue to fall into the whirlpool of contradictions.
