There is a group of extraordinary people in the "ordinary world", it is this group of extraordinary people who make up this ordinary world, after reading this book, people's souls may be purified, and may change many of your current thoughts.
Shuangshui Village
Feeling at first sight
When I picked it up and opened the first page, I was fascinated by a scene described by rain and snow: "... The hazy rain is sandwiched with a little bit of snowflakes, and it is pouring out..." I like to describe the scenery and give people the enjoyment of beauty, which may be the first feeling that this book gives me." Spring to summer, summer to autumn, autumn to winter, winter to spring, excessively natural, describing the seasonal changes of the past ten years, the same seasons are described in different ways, which amazes me.
Reveling in the depictions of these beauties, I gradually entered the story. The whole book mainly revolves around the changes in the life of the protagonist Sun Shaoping's family, the changes in Shuangshui Village, and the continuous struggle of Sun Shaoping's sun Shao'an brothers for their ideals. The most impressive is Sun Shaoping, an aspiring young man who silently endures the hardships of life but never gives up.
Although poor, but not inferior, although sloppy, but never stopped the pace of chasing dreams. Because he is not willing to become a doll of fate, his youth ideals also inspire him to go outside and explore the world. A typical northwestern good man, looking for his own life value under the heavy pressure of life. This spirit of self-improvement has created an extraordinary image in the ordinary world.
Sun Yuhou's family
Read it for the first time
I remember the first time I had time to seriously watch "Ordinary World", it was in the summer vacation of the second year of junior high school, almost in one breath, it is no exaggeration to say that this is a good book that I have not encountered for a long time, and the reason why it attracts me so much is that I think it is nothing more than two feelings - kindness and passion.
Like the Sun family brothers, I also had inferiority and self-esteem, ordinary but eager to be extraordinary, trying to make the world feel their existence, but the reality and ideals are so far away, the emotions are inevitably a little manic and extreme, and confused, after reading I have never had such a full spirit, the characters in the book continue to appear in my mind one by one: Sun Shaoan, Sun Shaoping brothers, Jin Bo, Tian Xiaoxia... Which one does not experience the happiness of creation through labor?
Weddings for poor people
Man can be poor because we sometimes have no choice; man can be humble because we have tried so hard; man can be shaken because we cannot avoid being hurt. But man must not be without spirit! Everyone is like a star in the sky, after all, there are a few stars that can be famous, there is no need to desire your brightness in the eyes of others, although it is good to try to shine.
"Although the torch is drooping, the tongue of fire is always burning upwards" "Ordinary World" is like a burning torch, illuminating the direction of my progress! Let me understand: people will always encounter ups and downs and tribulations in many places, but as long as you face life seriously and try to live every day, then in the ordinary world, there will be an extraordinary life.

Most recently read
Recently, I read "Ordinary World" again, and I have been working for many years and organizing my own family. The work is stable, the inner enthusiasm is not peaceful, the taste of reading is very different from the first time, and there are only two words to feel - beautiful!
The view is stunning! "People were amazed to find that the willow trees on the streets and on the banks of the river were unconsciously pulling out green silk; the branches of the peach and apricot trees were already covered with pink buds. If you look closely, some young shoots of grass have already emerged among the dry grass on the sunny slope. At the same time, some other branches also began to glow with bright living colors, bulging green buds, as pleasing as a girl who has just begun to develop." Reading such a sentence, even people in the harsh winter will unconsciously walk in the spring. The author's scenery depicts exquisite nature, whether it is a depression or a hopeful landscape description, it can take the reader into the storyline.
Aesthetic love
The spirit is beautiful! Sun Shao'an, who was not willing to be left behind and worked hard to get rich, Tian Xiaoxia, a provincial newspaper reporter who died in the flood... and Sun Shaoping, who worked hard and persistently pursued happiness, experienced one arduous ordeal after another, experienced the baptism of blood and fire, and he was convinced that the honey of life he had worked so hard to brew must be more delicious than what he had taken in vain, and even he self-deprecatingly called this understanding "the theory of suffering":
“...... Yes, he struggled at the bottom of society, suffering for a few dollars; but he already saw this not only as making a living, living..." Think of whenever we encounter difficulties and setbacks—perhaps only one in a million of Sun Shaoping—have we ever had such an understanding?
Tian Runye and Li Xiangqian
Love is beautiful! All-encompassing love has its own characteristics and tastes. Shao'an's simple and pragmatic rural love; Shaoping's romantic modern love; Tian Runye's happy and tortuous love; Jin Bo's grassland love song love across thousands of miles; Tian Runsheng's otherworldly love; it is really all-encompassing, each with its own characteristics, and every story is so touching and moving.
Among them, what moved me the most was the touching and heartfelt love between Li Xiangqian and Tian Runye, and runye was able to like him after Li Xiangqian was disabled, take good care of him, and not abandon him or give up, how touching it is!
The biggest insight
Through this book, my biggest insight is that we must be self-reliant and bravely face the strange world. Don't be afraid of suffering! As long as suffering is deeply understood, suffering will bring a sense of nobility. ...... If life requires you to endure pain, you must persevere. "Will the pain be in vain?" It should make us great! What is trivial? The kind of person who is lost in ordinary life, who is familiar with the plain in his eyes, who is willing to be mediocre in his thinking, and who is satisfied with the status quo in life, is truly ordinary. ”
How can Sun Shaoping, who has a higher pursuit of the meaning of survival, be called an ordinary person? Even if it is ordinary, it is a higher level of great ordinariness. The happiness is that we live in such a stable era, we can have a stable life, we will not encounter the suffering of Sun Shaoping, but living in different times, there are different experiences, we are ordinary members, to cross the mud, we have to be extraordinary ourselves.
