"The Two of Us": I miss you alone

One of the books I shared with you today, "The Two of Us," was opened when I was visiting a bookstore with a friend. I read the first half of the part in one sitting, telling a dream of a centenarian. In the dream, the originally happy family of three, the wife is gone, the daughter is also gone. In the end, she became a yellow leaf, and as soon as the wind blew, she fell from the rocks. Home is no longer home, just an inn.

I didn't read this dream very well at the time, but I felt a deep sadness. I kept thinking about it in my heart, and then I bought a book and went home and read the second half carefully. This time, there were no less tears, and there was a little more understanding of that dream.

"The Two of Us" is a very thin book, whether it is happiness or suffering, condensed in simple words. It shows the lifelong companionship of "the two of us" and the deep thoughts of Mr. Yang Dai for her husband and daughter. It's like a bowl of thick medicinal soup, slightly bitter in the mouth and sweet in the aftertaste.

The dream will always wake up, Mr. Yang Dai left his sadness in the dream and began to recall the years when "the two of us" lived together in the past.

Studying with her husband Qian Zhongshu in Oxford and Paris;

The birth and growth of daughter Qian Yuan;

After returning to China, her husband's career changed;

Watching out for each other with relatives and friends;

Reading, working, fun facts...

She summed it up: We didn't waste this life, because it was us.

With the change of the times, the change of years, ups and downs, but they have always stayed together and become each other's strongest fortress. They live a simple life, indifferent to fame and fortune, without fear of suffering, laughing and tears.

"I usually read books, and I don't laugh when I see the ridiculous, and I don't cry when I see the sadness. When Zhong Shu saw the ridiculous places in the book, he couldn't laugh, but I didn't see him reading the book and shedding tears. Yuanyuan read a book and cried bitterly, she should be like her father, but she is still a soft-hearted child. ”

What a real and cute family!

If I could ask Mr. Yang Dai, it might look like this:

Q: How can I better manage my marriage?

Answer: Accept him as he is, including his stupidity and stupidity; discuss things and respect each other.

Q: How can children be better educated?

A: Respect your child's individuality and lead by example.

Q: How can I be a better version of myself?

A: Keep reading and working.

The answer to the above question may also be: live seriously and let life tell you!

"There is no such thing as simple happiness. Happiness is always accompanied by troubles and worries. ”

One may not be able to make an era, but one can influence a family, especially women.

When I read this book, I was envious and ashamed. In their lives, there is always fun in the midst of difficulties. There is no gap between each other, only cherishing and loving.

I also became a wife and a mother. Sometimes I can't live with myself and my family for some trivial things. I know that I lack some patience and tolerance.

I hope to have Mr. Yang Dai's open-mindedness, calm and wise, and calmly face life. I also hope that when I am old, I can also relive the past calmly. But these require the experience of life, the precipitation of years.

What I can do, perhaps, is to read more books and enrich myself; to face life positively, to learn tolerance and compassion, and to make myself a strong backer for my family.
