Wen | Autumn Rain Sycamore, Tall Baby
"Taipei People" is the work of Mr. Bai Xianyong, which is composed of 14 short stories, each of which seems to be independent, but in fact has a close relationship.
The so-called Taipei people in the book are actually foreigners from the mainland. They miss their hometown and the past all the time.
The seemingly ordinary little stories that happened to them contain rich philosophies of life.
First, the world is uncertain, and no one can predict tomorrow
Reading "Taipei People" has a sense of vicissitudes similar to reading "Dream of the Red Chamber".
In "Dream of the Red Chamber", Jia Fu, who was once "white jade making horses for Tang Jin", finally lost to the point of relying on the dowry of the pawned Jia Mu to survive, which is very emotional.
In "TaipeiEr", the great contrast between those former glories and glory and the later decadence is also lamentable.
Lai Mingsheng in "Years Away" is once a famous battalion commander, the great hero of the "Taierzhuang" campaign, and finally degenerated into a "guy". Chinese New Year's Eve night, I can only go to the homes of my former subordinates and now my superiors, and remember the glory of the past.
Jin Zhaoli in "The Last Night of Jin Daban" is the pillar of Shanghai Paramount, and how many men fell in love with her 20 years ago, fell under her pomegranate skirt, and threw thousands of dollars for her. But today, 20 years later, in order to survive, I have to work hard to keep Boss Chen, who is already a year old.
In "State Funeral", Qin Yifang, the aide-de-camp who once accompanied the general on the four sides, not only did not care about the general's funeral, but even the wish to send the general for a ride could not be realized.
Second, to live, we must have faith
Wang Xiong in "That Bloody Red Cuckoo" is tall and strong. He was once a soldier, and after he went into exile in Taiwan, he worked as a maid in his "aunt's" house. He transferred the friendship of the little sister who was betrothed to his hometown in Hunan to the little cousin Li'er of his aunt's family. In order to make the little cousin happy, he was willing to crawl on the ground and let the little cousin ride away.
Lil loved azaleas, so he planted a large area of rhododendrons in the garden and watered them carefully. He regarded Li'er as the only spiritual pillar, but when Li'er grew up, suddenly one day she no longer needed him. When Li'er showed disgust and disgust for him because of her classmates' ridicule of Wang Xiong, Wang Xiong's mind collapsed in an instant, and finally chose to jump into the sea to commit suicide.
Mr. Lu in "The Book of Overseas Chinese Glory" is a Sven Mandarin Mr. He was full of love for the children, and when crossing the street, he always spread his arms and stopped the car for the children like a big docile rooster caring for his little chick.
Mr. Lu is a well-behaved man, and in addition to teaching, his only hobbies are raising chickens and changing money. He was clean, diligent and frugal, just to save money so that he could take his fiancée from his hometown.
However, when he gave all his 15 years of savings to his cousin and waited for his fiancée's arrival with joy, he was deceived by his cousin.
Mr. Lu lost his only belief, and because of this, his temperament changed drastically, and he casually found a woman like Ah Chun, who was vulgar and spicy, and even beat up the children who he had once loved and cared for. In the end, Mr. Lu finally chose to commit suicide because he could not bear the pain in his heart.
One is an iron-blooded soldier, the other is an intellectual who knows how to write, and in the end they all choose to cut themselves off because of the collapse of their ideas, and they cannot help but sigh.
The cause of their tragedy is personal, but the bigger one is brought to them by the times and history.
Third, instead of envying others, it is better to be yourself
In "Winter Night", Professor Yu, who stayed in Taipei to teach, has a difficult and chaotic life. He yearns for his famous old friend Wu Zhuguo at home and abroad, and is also doing everything he can to improve his current situation by going abroad.
And Wu Zhuguo, who lives abroad, although it looks like unlimited scenery on the surface, is actually suffering from the loneliness of living in a foreign country, as well as various unaccustomed habits such as culture and food. Instead, he envied Professor Yu for staying in Taipei and sticking to his education post. He plans to retire early and return to Taiwan.
There is no perfect life, a person, no matter how much success he has achieved in the eyes of others, he will envy others. A person, no matter how dark and turbulent his life is, will also be envied by others.
We always have to face a variety of choices in our lives, and no matter what choices we make, we will inevitably leave regrets.
This is life.
【Baby sister has something to say】
How high a person can stand and how far he can go is determined by his vision, pattern and cognitive ability. And if we want to cultivate our children well, these abilities are even more indispensable.
If you want to improve a person's vision, pattern and cognitive ability, it is definitely not possible to drink a few bowls of chicken soup, read a few cheats, and learn a few tricks.
There are two ways to improve a person's abilities: read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. When there are no conditions to travel thousands of miles, read ten thousand books!
The ancients "take the law from above, get it from it." "So, reading a book should read the best."
What is the best? classic.
To read the scriptures is to have a dialogue with the sages. To read the classics is to bypass the pits that others have walked through. Reading the classics is to see the truth of life and the essence of life from the stories of others, so as to guide your own life.
Today's article is the homework of the small partner of the book club "Autumn Rain Sycamore" classmate.
Her essays, like most of the book club's homework, may not be comprehensive and profound enough, but for most of the friends who have no literary skills and writing experience, it is already great.
Because each of their homework is presented to everyone after careful reading, thinking and revision in addition to heavy work and housework.
I believe that every book they read will become a ladder upwards, leading them to climb and get to where they want to be.
I also believe that one day, they will be grateful to themselves for their serious reading today.
Come on everyone! I will always be.
