The book was written by Mr. Yang Dai at the age of 96 (Yang Dai (July 17, 1911 – May 25, 2016), real name Yang Jikang, a native of Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, was a Chinese female writer, literary translator and foreign literary researcher, Mrs. Qian Zhongshu. It's already admirable at this age alone, not to mention whether I can live to 96, and even if I do, I haven't read a few books well now, so don't think about what will happen later. "Walking to the Edge of Life" was bought by me a year ago, when I always took to and from work, but I always couldn't finish watching, really couldn't finish watching it? In fact, time is delayed by some unimportant trivia, to anxiety /sadness/anger, and finally get nothing, but waste time reading. This time to pick up and look at it again, because life has encountered some bottlenecks, do not know where the direction is, want to change but not courageous enough, so when cleaning up the room, see the title of the book want to turn over to see.
To tell the truth, after reading it, I don't particularly understand, what gods and ghosts /people and spirits/human desires/animal desires, I feel that I have not yet reached the age of being able to understand these things, but from the words and lines, I can also feel Mr. Erudition, and only essays can write many truths.
In fact, I don't know what to share with everyone, so I think of what to write
l When I talked about the problem of gods and ghosts earlier, I told a lot of folk ghost stories, as well as Mr. Himself's own experience, such as some places in Tsinghua that are often rumored to have ghosts, Mr. Always has a perception when he passes by, and even encounters strange things, and later learns about those legends, he feels that there are indeed many inexplicable existences in the world. I was a little creepy when I read this passage alone at night with the dim lamp, after all, I thought that seeing such a view from everyone's book would still feel convincing, but I had seen it, and I had seen it at that time, and I didn't think too much about it when I looked at the stimulation.
l This book is not obscure, but there will be some places that can not be understood, do not understand why to discuss these, especially want to know what kind of state of mind this is to think about these problems, may wait for a certain day, I encounter some things to understand it, but it is not ugly, because even when it comes to some so-called human nature problems, there will be a lot of stories interspersed, some are very moving, such as the idiot Ah Fu, Ah Ling, although the IQ is not there, but the nature is good, Ah Fu will use the wood around to make a variety of gadgets, But in the end, because he was cheated of the money he had saved so hard, he finally went crazy and looked a little uncomfortable. Ah Ling slept and crushed his first son and was beaten by his in-laws, but two years later, her husband came to pick him up or happily followed, so human conscience and wisdom and stupidity have nothing to do with it. The more you look at the back of the book, the more interesting it will be, because we are all human beings, and many things we talk about can be implicated in our own imagination and comparison.
l There are a lot of places in the book that make my heart flutter, I am born not to look at sad things, so many good movies I dare not watch, such as "Suyuan", "Loyal Dog Hachiko", even the recently broadcast "I am not a medicine god" I do not dare to watch alone, because I am afraid that I am sad that there is no one around, so I am sad when I see the aforementioned Afu and ALing, look at the back said that when the Japanese invaded China, Mr. Qian Zhongshu's family had a male servant, his hometown was in Wuxi, after the fall of Wuxi, a family of old and young people piled up a large firewood pile in front of their own door, One by one, they jumped into the fire and died, and when they heard about the evil deeds of the Japanese invasion, they did not want to accept being raped, captured, and slaughtered, so they chose to end their lives themselves. I don't know that sentence in the book makes me feel this way, but after reading it, it is more relaxed, life can be chosen by yourself, the most terrible thing is that I don't know where the goal is, I can't choose.
Mr. Yang Dai said that what is trained is actually the soul of the person, and the Olympic Games we are concerned about were originally aimed at promoting fair competition and the character of ancient Greek athletes who are not proud of defeat.
l People who usually rarely read books do not recommend you to read this book, it is difficult to read it impatiently, if you are interested, you can read the first paragraph and the comments on the back, which are some small stories and are also very interesting.
A few words I like very much
1. Constantly restraining oneself by virtue of spiritual conscience is cultivation, which is a kind of skill, which is gradually enhanced and gradually strengthened in cultivation.
2, people are good and bad, fighting and fighting, tired, want to rest, and people's common feelings are not willing to admit defeat. Tired, he said to himself, "Okay, it's okay," and stopped fighting and relaxed to yourself. (Because I chose to read this book in my state of mind, I also wanted to say yes to myself, and when I could do it, I let myself go and let myself rest)
3, ugly people look in the mirror can not always see how ugly they are, only see the beauty that others can't see; the pretentious and dashing "handsome guy" can't see the floating or vulgar appearance of his true appearance. Because the "person in the mirror" in our mirror is always the "person in our minds", not our true face. (This is me, every time I look in the mirror, I think, oh how do you look so good, it's a little fatter) The appearance is still so, not to mention the character of people! Everyone is conceited as a kind of person, thinking that they are such people, and everyone deceives themselves to varying degrees, which is the so-called "compromise". (For that, I decided to go for a gym run at night)
4, if you want to protect yourself, you have to defend at all times, if you don't fight with others, you have to have no demand for the world, and at the same time you have to maintain your strength and prepare for battle, if you want to coexist peacefully with others, you have to deal with them first, and you have to be prepared to suffer losses at any time.
