Good evening to all book lovers, welcome to the reading column "Encounter" produced by Fan Deng Reading.
If you want to draw strength from a great literary work, "Ordinary World" is a well-deserved choice.
This novel has left a deep mark on the green years of generations of readers.
The struggle of life, the pursuit of ideals, are similar in different times.
May we all embrace the ordinary and find the warmth of life.
Zhou Guoping said in "Facing Suffering Head-on": "In this life, people inevitably have to suffer. ”
The so-called suffering is the pain and suffering that life faces in the world.
In "Ordinary World", the writer Lu Yao wrote out the hardships that must be experienced in life with simple words.
The whole book centers on the fate of the three families of Sun, Tian and Jin in Shuangshui Village on the Loess Plateau, and describes in detail the story of the young people represented by Sun Shaoping who did not lose their fate and struggled hard.
The characters in the book may be barren all their lives, trying to change their fate with knowledge; or they have worked hard all their lives, busy all day, but they have never given up the hope of life.
As the writer Ji Xianlin once said:
"Everyone wants to fight for a full life."
However, life is alive, full of thorns, and difficult steps are the norm.
When you understand "The Ordinary World", you will understand that if you want to live a full life, you must survive these four kinds of suffering.
The bitterness of loneliness
Sun Shaoping in the book is a young man who actively struggles and dares to fight.
When he was young, his father gritted his teeth and sent him to school.
Due to his family's poverty, Sun Shaoping's education career was very difficult.
At lunchtime, Sun Shaoping would always wait until everyone had dispersed before filling his stomach with two black-faced steamed buns and leftover water from the soup.
Whenever he came to labor class, the thin Sun Shaoping was often so hungry that he had no strength to work, and he was always far behind others.
The tall man of one meter and seven or eight meters worked but was as weak as a sick straw.
Therefore, Sun Shaoping became one who was ostracized and bullied.
At this time, he would run to the back hill of the school to meditate and be alone.
He polished himself in his solitary time and gained insight where no one cared.
Over time, he no longer looked at the people around him with strange eyes.
He polished and forged his character in solitude, faded the psychology of inferiority, and became bold and resolute.
After graduating from high school, Sun Shaoping, who was not willing to work as a farmer at home, entered the Daya Bay Coal Mine as a contractor.
Living under the same roof with a group of burly, short-sighted workers, he did not go with the flow, but insisted on a solitary lifestyle.
When he was alone, he recuperated and actively grew, and finally got rid of the fate of the low-level migrant workers, became a public official in the Daya Bay Coal Mine, and completed the counterattack of his life.
Schopenhauer once said:
"Life is either lonely or vulgar."
If a person wants to become stronger, he must survive the days of being incompatible with the people around him and being uncared for.
Only after surviving that lonely and lonely time, life will be infinitely wonderful.
The bitterness of reading
Sun Lanhua and Sun Lanxiang are a pair of sisters, but the fate of the two is very different.
Since childhood, under the influence of her brother, Sun Lanxiang has worked hard to study, picking up housework during the day, and strengthening her tired body at night and burying her head in study.
In middle school, in order to learn more knowledge, I often took advantage of the gap to run to the teacher for advice.
After being admitted to high school, in order to squeeze out time to study, she often got up early and did the question review in the dark, and did not dare to delay for a moment.
After ten years of hard work, she was finally admitted to a top university.
After graduating from college, she not only married Wu Zhongping, the second generation of officials, but also served an iron rice bowl as she wished, and the second half of her life was smooth and easy.
Reading allowed her to complete the counterattack of her life, completely get rid of the life facing the loess, and achieve a class leap.
In contrast, the sister Sun Orchid is not so lucky.
She fell in love with a bastard who was waiting to die, Wang Manyin, and insisted on marrying him despite her father's objections.
After marriage, Wang Manyin changed his previous considerate appearance, threw his wife and children aside, and did not do the right thing.
The chores of chopping firewood and sweeping and hoeing grass all fell on the orchid, and she was a father and a mother, and her life was very depressed.
Qian Zhongshu once said:
"People who are not educated, because they can't read, are deceived."
He has not been educated by knowledge, knows that the marriage is unhappy, and is unwilling to seek liberation.
In the final analysis, it is because I have not read books and lack the ability to save myself.
Someone once asked: Why do we study hard?
One of the highly praised answers is: "After encountering the beatings of life, we will find that reading is the only way for us to change our destiny." ”
As long as you study hard, you will have more choices in life, rather than being forced to accept the way of life.
Reading is the passport to Kangzhuang Avenue, which will lead us from narrow places to vast areas and witness the blossoming future.
The bitterness of adversity
At the age of thirteen, looking at the dilapidated home, Sun Shaoan took on the heavy responsibility of supporting the family and protecting the family.
In order to maintain a dilapidated home, Sun Shao'an often worries about the life of a family of six.
In order to increase his income, he got up early to earn money in the dark farming, and a big man actually picked up the sole of his shoe with a needle and a thread.
When it is cold, he wears thin clothes and goes to the county town to see cattle, and can only shelter in the biting cold wind.
He was busy spinning like a gyroscope, painstakingly delving into money-making techniques.
Once, under the introduction of a friend, he made a sum of money by pulling bricks.
Sun Shaoan, who was active in his mind, glimpsed the business opportunity and immediately decided to set up a factory.
After his unremitting efforts, he finally accumulated enough funds, and the brick factory was also established with great enthusiasm.
As business grew, he decided to recruit a group of experts to expand the size of the plant.
As a result, it was damaged by counterfeit experts and the quality of the bricks fired was not up to standard, resulting in a major blow to the factory.
Not only did he paste all the money he had earned before, but he also owed a foreign debt.
Bank loans and workers' wages overwhelmed Sun Shaoan.
He sat weakly on the ground, leaning into his wife's arms and crying and venting.
During that time, he was depressed, some people sneered at him, some people did not take him seriously, and he himself once gave up on himself.
Fortunately, Sun Shaoan was not beaten down, he adjusted his mentality, left his pants and ran around, and finally raised funds.
He picked up a mobile phone from a closed factory and asked his master for advice on firing techniques.
Eventually, the brick factory turned a profit, and he became a well-known rich man within a radius of ten miles.
After experiencing the gray and dark, he finally ushered in the willow dark flower.
In life, smooth sailing is a fluke, and difficulties and obstacles are the reality.
And every dilemma is a stumbling block in life, step over, everything will be solved.
The bitterness of life
Balzac wrote in The Tall Old Man:
"Life is full of real suffering."
If you want to live wonderfully, you must go all out to be a hero who overcomes life.
As the father of Sun Shao'an's four siblings, Sun Yuhou's body is full of bitter feelings.
He has an old mother who is paralyzed in bed and a young child to be raised.
When he was young, he used to save money for his brother to study, and it was difficult to serve iron rice bowls, and then smashed pots to sell iron to his brother and daughter-in-law.
After gritting his teeth and removing the shackles of his elder brother as his father, he worked all day for the four children in the family.
When the children grew up, they didn't even have a decent shelter, but were crammed into cramped caves.
The eldest son, Sun Shao'an, and Tian Runye were both in love with each other, but the family was too poor to enter the eyes of the Tian family.
When it came to the age of marriage, even a decent bride price could not be made, and no one in a radius of ten miles dared to marry their daughter to the eldest son.
Finally, Sun Yuhou, who had worked hard for most of his life, cried bitterly at his son's collapse:
"Dad is sorry for you, he didn't ask you to study, and now he can't even marry a daughter-in-law."
After working hard for most of my life, my life is still a mess.
After howling and crying, he dragged his rickety body and carried gifts to borrow money from family to prepare the bride price.
In the face of life, he did not dare to stop at all except to go all out.
Man lives and earns a living more than anything else.
In this world, who is not suffering from the slap of life while gritting their teeth and slowly boiling.
In order to get the order as desired, he accompanied the customer to drink until the husband was lying in the hospital with stomach bleeding.
In order to help their children, after retirement, they dragged all their bodies to run to their parents who worked part-time.
It is not easy for the world to walk in all walks of life.
As Zhang Ailing said:
"In this strange human world, no one can live a life of clouds and flowing water."
The adult world is a sea of suffering, you and I are in it, and no one is immune.
The only thing we can do is to strengthen our faith, face the hardships of life, and as long as we work hard to manage the present, the future will be clear.
Mr. Yang Said:
"In this world, being human is really hard enough."
In life, some people are flowing, some people are humble, and some people are tired of making money.
No one's life is smooth sailing and everything goes smoothly.
In life, suffering and misfortune will always be with you.
As long as the unpreparing grinding in life is difficult to see as a tempering before the transformation, solid and hard work, the bitter days can also survive the sweetness.
Click "watching", the rest of your life is long, the road of life is full of bumps or obstacles, only one by one to survive, will be happy.
