Mu Xin said that in the past, the carriages and horses were very slow, and they only loved one person in their lives.
Nowadays, the people's scenery has changed, the carriages and horses have long become "BMW", there are gods in the heavens, there are dragons in the water, and the daily travel of thousands of miles has long been illuminated into reality.
However, when the scenery outside the window is like a movie fast playing a movie, we are often enjoying the convenience brought by high technology while being confused by the speed of flow.
From the moment we open our eyes, information from all directions comes flooding in, mixing true and false, mixing joy and sorrow.
Which takeaway quality is reliable? What kind of scam makes a successful person lose his money? Friends have made a lot of money, do you want to follow them? Learning English for several years does not mean a tool to support your family, or do you want to stick to it?
Life is always choosing and playing games, from a grain to a meal, as large as the ideal of life.
We don't have Sun Wukong's fire-eyed golden eye, let alone Zhang Yixing's "golden pupil", and we can't distinguish the pros and cons of things in every second and make the so-called "right" choice. All we have is a mortal flesh.
Therefore, if you want to make a choice that is right for you, you can usually adopt the principle of "the general rushes the road, do not chase the rabbit".
"The general rushes to the road, do not chase the little rabbit" is the feeling obtained after watching "AccompanyIng Anna through the Long Night".
Speaking of reading this book is purely accidental, a friend held a reading punch card activity, I was invited to participate, and then stumbled all the way to the end, read it twice and then tirelessly recommended it to a friend.
The book is not so amazing, the title is even a bit of a rap, when I first saw the title, I always mispronounced the title, misread it as "with Anna 'spend' a long night", rather than "wearing" a long night.
But the more you read it, the more you find that the title of the book is a thousand times better than passing through.
Because it's a story about living in war, like the slogan on the book's waist cover: "In whatever language, 'war' is a heavy word." ”
The story revolves around a little Polish girl who is in jeopardy when Germany encircles and suppresses Jews on a large scale. Anna, a 7-year-old Polish girl, could have lived the childhood that belonged to her age group – innocent and innocent.
However, the war left her orphaned, and her father, a professor who spoke many languages, never returned after a "meeting" of her.
In the days when she was surrounded by gunfire and bullets, she instinctively felt frightened, lonely and frightened, hiding in the medical hall of the doctor who had once been friendly with her father, trembling until dawn.
Those who were originally pleasant to her and Yan became "not very friendly" overnight.
She felt wandering, unclear, and the war affected her small biscuit supply, which made her sensitive to the reasons why people were unfriendly, and thus had an intuitive and accurate feeling of "war".
When she was expelled from the hospital by the doctors with soft violence, she found herself a desperate outcast. It was then that the Swallow Man, who, like her father, spoke several languages, appeared, and he shone like a searchlight into Anna's heart.
Swallow Man is not a personal name.
When Anna first met the Swallow Man, she found that he could communicate with the Swallows by whistle, and the Swallows seemed to be spies he had cultivated, and they could exchange information with each other.
Anna felt very magical and incredible, and involuntarily wanted to get close to the swallow man.
Swallow Man hesitated for a moment, and then decided to take Anna with him, leave Poland, and walk on the wasteland that had been patronized by artillery fire in order to survive on the wasteland.
Since then, Swallow Man has made the protection of Anna his only goal in life.
He teaches Anna one way after another in a cold and stubborn way, how to deal with strange pedestrians, how to let the soldiers open their mouths first when passing the level, so as to get the first chance to save themselves...
He fulfills his responsibilities like a father, telling Anna about her ability to deal with people and the world one by one, but never says, "I'll teach you," but only teaches by example.
A few years later, Anna's clothes could no longer tuck her body, and although she was not fat, she was growing.
At that time, the war was still not over, but Anna's father had determined that there was no hope of survival.
In the process of walking the wasteland, they have met various people and had differences of opinion, but because the swallow man has a goal in mind, many things are not important to him.
For example, Swallow Man did not like the Jewish Sisser, but Anna liked it, so he unconditionally abandoned his principles and forced himself to accept Thatser to walk with him.
For example, when the three of them crossed the river together, Sissel was almost swept away by the water because he went to pick up his cherished worn-out shrapnel, and swallowed the man could not bear to see Anna sad, so he risked his life to help Sissell retrieve the worn-out shrapnel, and for this reason, he was also shot off a little finger by the bullet.
He accompanied Anna through one wasteland after another, and even if there was little bread left in the bag, he would give priority to Anna's needs.
But he still would not verbally show favor to Anna, nor did he waver in his determination to continue to protect Anna.
It is such a cold and tolerant swallow man, but when he learned that the traffickers had different thoughts about Anna, he did not hesitate to slaughter the traffickers and bring back some of the things on the traffickers.
This is indeed a little awkward from a moral point of view, but in terms of reason, it is flawless.
Because of the hand-bladed human trafficker, Sisser and Swallow Man have a direct conflict, he feels that Swallow Man is too cruel to agree with his logic that is powerful enough to do whatever he wants, and leaves in anger.
However, a few days later, Sisser's body was also left in the wasteland forever.
Here the author does not use much ink, does not explain the cause of Sicil's death, only that he does not agree with the practice of Swallow Man.
When Sisser asks Anna what she thinks of the incident, Anna acquiesces to Swallow Man's approach, so he leaves discouraged. But I had a feeling that Sisser, like the trafficker, had died at the hands of the Swallow Man.
It's not that the Swallow Man killed the red eye, but because Sissel knows their whereabouts, and once Sissel leaves and leaks the secret, Anna will be in danger of life.
The threesome once again became a twosome, and Swallow Man and Anna continued to move forward, all the way through to where the German soldiers were stationed.
At that time, the pills that Swallow Man carried with him had been eaten, and he began to become irritable, self-talking, nervous, and lost his temper at every turn. Anna had been with the moody man all day, and she had thought about leaving him in that little room forever, alone forever.
But in the end, she didn't do that.
On the contrary, in order to help Swallow Man find medicine, she did not hesitate to use her virginity to ask the pharmacist for the medicine - potassium iodide.
Anna didn't cry on those days of war and bullets; she didn't cry on those silent, longing nights; but when she got the medicine she had bought with her body, she cried with mixed emotions...
There was reluctance and humiliation in those tears, but more than that, there was happiness, because those drugs could help Swallow Man maintain his life.
The book is suffocating from beginning to end, and they are always thinking about how to live the day safely, how to see the next day's dawn and sunset safely, how to find enough food to maintain their strength...
There is no earth-shattering plot twist in this book, no hero in a traditional story drama who rises up in a chaotic environment, does a shocking big thing, or is enough to reverse the feat, but every little thing in this book makes people feel dignified, and the author describes one heartbreaking scene after another to us in the most delicate way of expression.
The reason why I like this book is because although there are no heroes who turn the world around, they smoothly express the most resonant theme in the world: those who accompany us in difficult times are the light that shines into our lives!
As the book cover tagline says, "In either case, 'companionship' is a warm force." "And I saw something in it that was just as important as companionship, and that was choice.
When faced with someone or something we don't like, we can choose to accept or give up. It is usually the stability and desire of our hearts that leads us to the final result: the general rushes the road, and the rabbit is not chased.
When we have a clear purpose in mind, the debris that is supposed to disturb the mind gradually becomes weak or disappears.
There is a tiger in the heart, and a fine sniff of the roses.
The ideal is clear enough, the goal is clear enough, the more we can peel back the cocoon, simplify the complex, point directly to the heart of the arrow, and be invincible.
Seeing the end of the story, the corners of my eyes were wet and my heart was warm. In particular, the part where Anna uses her body to change the medicine and save the life of the swallow man is like watching a movie where a bird feeds back.
The world is very cold, with material to survive, with ideals can talk about life.
Anna has grown up in the company of swallow men and has grown into a person who can live no matter what kind of harsh living conditions!
She knows how to shake hands with the world and make peace, which makes her invisibly like a thick set of armor, so that she will not be afraid of wind and rain on the road in the future.
The war would stop one day, but her growing heart would never stop.
There are so many scenery outside the window, we must first focus on the front of us, and then look forward to the distance.
"Mo Xiao farmhouse lax wine, good year to stay guest foot chicken and dolphin", may we all love our own choice, deep in their own focus, will be simple to the extreme, the result will be incomparably wonderful.
