5. Reading experience:
Guessed the ending for the first time
Watching suspense novels for so many years, maybe the choices are the classics of the masters, perhaps their own wisdom is not enough, in short, before this almost no guess or guess the end, and this time, at the beginning of the crime, the brain flashed a thought, although it felt a little ridiculous, in the process of reading there was a overthrow, but when the truth gradually surfaced, it turned out to be so! I suddenly had the experience of quantitative change to qualitative sublimation, and when I read enough, the accumulated jumps and excitement of those delicate nerve endings in my brain hit this truth in one hit.
This is not only a suspenseful story, but also a love story
How wonderful love is, how painful it is to lose. Love makes people light up inspiration, makes people feel happy, makes people radiant, and also makes people change people, become vicious and narrow-minded. If you have loved, you may understand the murderer, but you will never empathize. If love is the irrepressible fire of sensibility, and reason is a rushing waterfall, human life is a process of non-stop game between reason and feelings, and internal and external balance and harmony are the lessons we need to cultivate in our lives.
Those words that are a flash of inspiration but are etched in people's hearts
"Youth is the happiest time of life, and that's ridiculous. Youth is the most fragile stage of life! ”
Youth has the purest happiness, but also has the purest suffering, no accumulation, no thickness. In the face of life, the foundation is thin and the strength is weak. Therefore, the happiest time should be when there have been years of accumulation, thoughtful ability and ability to solve problems.
"If a person misses an opportunity, he will make a mistake again and again, and there is no second chance."
Although japan has been coming for a long time, several key turning points in life must determine the direction of a person's life. Sometimes, taking a wrong step, it takes several times the original time to return to the original track, and it may never come back.
"I'd rather see a well-fed worker than appreciate any so-called work of art." The most important thing is the future, not the past. ”
Sober and rational people must have a view of history, not thinking about the past, and not fearing the future.
"Remove the impurities from the exterior in order to discover the truth—the naked and shiny truth."
Life is very complicated, human nature is very complicated, if you don't have the heart to understand, the stupid things will happen from time to time.

May we be faithful to love and to ourselves.
