Hello three astronauts, I'm Lang Lang. Today I read to you Milan Kundera's The Unbearable Lightness of Life, and I wish you eternal health and happiness.
Author: Milan Kundera
Our daily lives are full of all kinds of contingencies, to be precise, accidental encounters between people and things, which we call coincidences. Two unexpected things appearing at the same moment is called coincidence. The moment Thomas appeared in the bar, Beethoven's music was playing on the radio. Most of these coincidences pass inadvertently.
If it weren't for Thomas, Teresa might not have noticed that the radio was playing Beethoven's music. But the love that sprouted made her feel so keenly at beauty that she could never forget the song again. Every time she hears this piece, she is thrilled. Everything that happened to her at that moment shone with the aura of this piece of music, beautiful.
Life is like composing music. Under the guidance of beauty, people turn accidental events into a theme, and then record them in the music of life. Just as a composer composes the main melody of a sonata, the theme of life is also repeated, repeated, revised, and extended. Man is composing the music of life according to the laws of beauty, until the moment of deep despair comes, but he knows nothing.
We cannot blame the novel for being bewildered by these mysterious coincidences of chance, but we have reason to blame mankind for depriving man of the beauty of life and the general vastness of the world by turning a blind eye to these coincidences.
About The Unbearable Lightness of Life
Excerpt from: "The Lightness and Heaviness of Existence- The Unbearable Lightness of Life" and the Exploration of Existence (Author: Wang Xiaodan)
Czech writer Milan Kundera's masterpiece The Unbearable Lightness of Life begins with a profound philosophy and ends in a sad poetic atmosphere, revealing to us the weaknesses of human nature and the profound causes of the inevitable misunderstandings of human beings. What revolves around all this is the exploration of "existence".
Milan Kundera has always explored the question of existence, what is the existence of man? What is its true meaning? Through this novel, Kundera tries to find more deeply buried beings, through the search for existence to allow human beings to better grasp their own value.
The storyline of the novel revolves around the intertwined and complex relationships of the four protagonists. The 4 protagonists in the novel are wandering in uncertainty, or their actions are certain, but only after making a decision do they realize that this is not the life they want, or they do not know what kind of life they want in the end.
