Somehow, whenever I pick up this book "At the Bend of the Gorge River", I always have a heavy sense of heaviness and reality in my heart.
The author's story, which reads like a song of life, is thick and powerful, and is full of the tension of life.
He was born on the side of the Gorge River, grew up on the side of the Gorge River, and worked hard in the hometown of the Gorge River.
Just like the protagonist that Lu Yao told in "Ordinary World", he has an ordinary and rich life.
Through the personal experience of the protagonist Chen Xingjia, I seem to see a sincere heart that is always full of love, always containing others, and still does not change its true color after withstanding the challenges of life.
"We are all grassroots," the author begins by describing himself, who was born in the 1970s and witnessed the imprint of an era.
Reading it, my eye sockets are moist several times, I am not a sensual person, but I clearly feel that in the author's ordinary experience, there is a persistence that is not willing to be ordinary and strive to live a wonderful life. I seemed to see my own shadow, and I also saw countless ordinary grassroots groups that were struggling for their dreams and fighting for their lives.
This book is about Chen Xingjia's people and things, which makes me have a more three-dimensional understanding of the story behind this former outstanding county party secretary in the country.
But what impressed me most was not these so-called halos and various labels, nor the Internet celebrities in the eyes of the media, nor the various honors he received, but his ideals and persistence as a "strange flower", and the kind of maverick who dared to hit the water in the fjords of life.
Zhuangzi once wrote in "The Getaway": "Pengzhi migrated to the south of the earth, the water hit three thousand miles, and the one who swayed up was ninety thousand miles." This kind of grandeur dares to look directly at life, which is actually Zhuangzi's attitude toward life.
The world does not understand him, but it does not matter, Zhuangzi himself is extremely free, there is a kind of "everyone is drunk and I am awake", in the drastic changes of the times, he issued a cry about that era, but also Zhuangzi's insistence on his own heart.
In Chen Xingjia's body, I also saw such a frankness.
In terms of the trajectory of life, compared with other people in his contemporaries, he is a retrograde, preferring to give up the opportunity to live and work in the noisy metropolis, and would rather return to his hometown in the depths of the mountains in the 90s, when the reform and opening up was full of red and red.
He started from a low-level coal mine statistician, worked diligently in seemingly ordinary posts, indifferent to the fame and fortune of the outside world, Ren'er's east, west, south and north winds, and made a world, and finally became the county party secretary who was in charge of Padang, which was concerned by the world.
However, he was by no means a "conformist" man, "about his story, they all guessed wrong." "It can be said that he was an out-and-out idealist who never lived the way the world expected.
When the term of office of the county party secretary ended in 2016, in the career path that could have been high, he resolutely resigned from public office, turned from zero to choose public welfare, and opened a different way of life in a completely different field.
Such a person who chases ideals always pays attention to his inner perseverance, even if there are all kinds of noisy sounds and temptations outside, he is not moved. His "righteousness, killing, vitality" is the background of his life, but also the complex environment he has always insisted on, in the most important moments of his life, in the fjords of life, those turbulent waves, waves, he has never given up.
Looking around, our life journey is like this big river.
Among them, there are moments of calm and tranquility, there are also challenging and dangerous fjords, the turbulent river of life rolls forward, we will encounter one turn and twist after another, and sometimes even be slapped all over the body and dizzy, will be confused and entangled. But in the long run, it is this fiordland full of twists and turns that gives us the infinite possibility of rushing out of another world, so that the original ordinary river of life can rush out of the waves with vitality and usher in our own vast space.
Chairman Mao once said that "confident in life for two hundred years, will be when the water hits three thousand miles", on the road of life, may we also be like Chen Xingjia, live life as we want, become our ideal dreamers.
Like is a kind of support, netizens how do you see, hope to help more forwarding and attention Oh.
