"The Bullfly" is an excellent world famous book, a novel written by the Irish writer Eiger Lillian Voynich. The book mainly recounts the life experience of the Italian revolutionary "Bullfly", expounds the life of "Bullfly", and reveals a belief that is higher than life.
The protagonist "Bullfly", originally named Arthur, was born into a wealthy Italian family and was a typical bourgeoisie. Even though Arthur was born prominently, he was incomparably glorious and beautiful to outsiders. But Arthur did have a not-so-happy childhood.
He had a half-brother, his birth mother's status in the family was not very high, Arthur was often accused and embarrassed by his brother and sister-in-law, even if he was young, he always bravely stood up to protect his mother, but in the face of power, he was really powerless. The weakness of his own strength, coupled with his father's blindness, for various reasons, he hated his home.
So, since his mother's death, Arthur had left the home without any temperature. Fortunately, he also had a godfather named Montalina. Studying with his godfather all day long made him temporarily forget his pain. The Godfather Montalinay was very kind to Arthur, and in Arthur's heart Montalinay was the most important person besides his faith, God.
By chance, Arthur met his first love, Jim, and when he learned that Jim was also fighting for the Revolution in Italy, the two felt sorry for each other, and Arthur was very happy, he shared the same faith as his sweetheart, and felt that this was a gift from God.
However, fate tricked him, and during a prayer, Arthur's actions were exposed, and Arthur was subsequently arrested by the police. Born proud, he was put in jail. Despite many insults and scoldings, Arthur chose to stick to his bottom line and insist on not betraying his comrades. Finally, in the absence of sufficient evidence, Arthur was released.
It happened that Arthur's sweetheart, Jim, came to pick him up by boat, but Jim misunderstood that Arthur had been acquitted by betraying his comrades, and in anger, Jim slapped Arthur and turned away. Arthur stopped where he was, and grievances and sadness surged into his heart.
However, when arthur returned home, he was told a shocking secret by his brother and sister-in-law. It turned out that he was not the biological son of his father, but the "illegitimate son" of his mother and a godfather, and his biological father was the godfather he had always respected, Lord Montarinay.
Arthur's heart seemed to have been stabbed hard. Suddenly understanding that he had been living in a lie and had been deceived by his most trusted person for more than ten years, Arthur only felt ridiculous. Once again, he thought of the hurt his sweetheart had done to him. Arthur only felt a pang of pain and pain. Tears blurred his face for a moment.
He had thought about dying and was gone. However, Arthur felt unwilling, living his whole life in hypocrisy and betrayal, but the God he believed in would only stand by and watch.
Then, grief-stricken, Arthur smashed the cross beside him and sent a letter back to his godfather Montalinay:
"Once I believed in you, just as I believed in God, but now, the cross was easily smashed by me, and you, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life, you killed me." 」
Arthur then pretended to be suspended and smuggled to South Africa, where he spent a tragic decade. By the time he returned, Arthur was already devastated. However, his heart became more and more determined, and from then on, Arthur transformed into a good revolutionary party member, known as the "oxfly".
"Ten years of life and death are vague, do not think, unforgettable..."
The dancing teenager of the past has long lost the style of the day, and Arthur's pride has also been trampled and shattered, and now, there is only a "bull fly" with a wounded but determined will.
When he sees her sweetheart Jim again, she has changed her name to Joanma. Arthur still had a grudge against her after all. Arthur's father, Montalina, had long since become the famous Cardinal of the Red Lotus.
Ten years of wandering, the oxfly has not forgotten the past, and Jim, who has been living in deep self-blame all these years, has long regretted it, so she has always been worried about Arthur. Of course, montarina is also unable to let go.
At the end of the story, the oxfly is heroically sacrificed for the mission. Before dying, Arthur chose to forgive, to forgive all betrayals, to forgive all hurt. He wrote a letter to Jim, untying Jim's heart knot and forgiving his father, who had hurt him so much.
"Dear Jim, I have loved you for a long time, and when you wore two little braids, I loved you deeply..."
"Your Holiness the Cardinal, I wish you a worry-free life..."
Once upon a time, Oxfly had always thought that forgetting the past was a betrayal of himself, but when he saw the pain and self-blame of his beloved Jim, and the old age and pain of Montalinay. He did soften his heart.
So, Arthur chose forgiveness.
However, even at the end of his life, Arthur was unwilling to reconcile with fate and concede defeat to God.
There is no doubt that Arthur was a kind-hearted, generous and tolerant man, and he was even more stubborn. He was determined and tenacious, and never gave up a moment to fight against the shackles of fate. He was indeed a true hero.
"Whether I'm alive or dead, I'm a happy cowfly flying around."
Even though the heavens were unjust, the tribulations were numerous, and the fate was tragic, Arthur never succumbed. Even if he dies, this "oxfly spirit" has been passed down through the ages and has never stopped.
