"Pearls on the Bottom" is a collection of short stories, each story is not too long, personally feel that it is very suitable for using fragmented time to read! Most of the stories in the book focus on ordinary people living in the bottom, and the lives of small people who are either grotesque or playful, open up a spiritual world full of black humor to the reader.
The book that impressed me the most was "Babidale", when I first read it, I was still a little unaccustomed, the story shows us a city with very serious environmental pollution, people are happy in it, and even some people move to a good environment but are not very comfortable. The protagonist, the Bergam family, is also a wonderful existence for me, they seem to face all the pain and suffering, they can live in a self-amusing way, although life is very bitter, they still express their love, and even the son of the Bergam family, in such a small room full of cement powder and the sound of cannonballs, has created beautiful paintings full of brilliant colors that are incompatible with this gray and black grid...
As soon as he heard the sound of water dripping from the tap, he would immediately pick up a pencil and depict Niagara Falls, but they were fascinated by the dazzling colors in the darkness.
Many people say that life is not only the present and the future, the adult world is full of all kinds of helpless, uncomfortable things, these large and small things constitute the exhaustion and mental pressure on our faces, many personality and fresh souls are consumed in the real problems such as mortgages, car loans, and raising children. Maybe some people will be happy in pain, but I believe that more people may just be pushing forward, how many times can people in the north and guangzhou and deep not hold back and want to escape the city? After being crushed by work, how many times have you thought about quitting? When you are alone in the middle of the night, how many times do you want to talk to the people around you but end up unspeakable?
Maybe you'd say it would be nice to change it, but... Does the change really have the life we want? Just like the cement worker Marisek, it is still a bit unsatisfactory to change? Haha, so, I think maybe life is not as bad as we think, not to mention that what we experience is not an insurmountable obstacle, life is not elsewhere, the foot is the front, we are ordinary ordinary people, but also the heroes, in the face of life's unbearable, maybe we have to be like the little people in "The Pearl at the Bottom" like the little people do not follow the waves, believe in the initial incomparably persistent self, believe that every step we take under our feet counts, Believe that we are ordinary but also full of courage.
