Zweig – when the stars of humanity shine

"When the Stars Of Humanity Shine" Stephen Zweig read after reading the note

Each one is admirable, Zweig's words, the narrative of the story, the grasp of emotion. To be immensely admirable. When reading this book, I often lament that if I had encountered this book earlier. If I had read it before the college entrance examination, my composition should have improved a lot. Well

What I admire most about Zweig is that he remains restrained and calm at the highest point of emotion. I often can't control my emotions, and I either resort to flowery rhetoric or show off myself with neat preparation and comparison. But Zweig was different. He wrote "May you also have some faith, Sonia, when you can't understand me, if you also have faith." At least will believe in me, the will to pursue the truth. "Magnificent destruction, though dead or alive."

Masters often appear in a blowout, with Confucius and Lao Tzu as the core of the hundred schools of thought, and at the same time, the Western Axis Era appeared plato and Aristotle... In the last century, the stars shone in the political arena, and the names that will still be remembered a hundred years later: Churchill, Lenin, Stalin, Roosevelt, our teachers, and so on.

The last one. Wilson's dreams and failures. When I watched, I was skeptical, or I didn't believe it at all. Would Wilson have been so idealistic and naïve as to fight for human peace? They do not pursue their own interests, refuse secret diplomacy, and want to make all political activities public. Will there be such a politician? The Paris Peace Conference is mentioned. It's easy to think of the May Fourth Movement. In the whole text, there is no mention of China once. In our own history textbooks, the Paris Peace Conference seems to mean the May Fourth Movement. If you read only textbooks, it will be really narrow. History is the history of mankind, not the history of one country and one nation.

I loved the book. The choice of historical figures in the book is often to stand in front of all mankind, rather than a country and a family, and its tragedy is the tragedy of all mankind, so it is easier to resonate with it.
