Close-up of the bird of thorns
Once, Cowling. McCullough's Bird of Thorns was a hit and was known as the Australian version of Gone with the Wind. The story of the three generations of women in the book is twisted and moving, making people lament their fate, and at the same time have to lament the spirit of their bodies, scarred but proud of the wind again and again. I remember that there was such an introduction at the beginning of the novel, which I have always been unforgettable.
Flocks of thorny birds together
Legend has it that there is a bird that sings only once in a lifetime, but the song is more melodious than any living being in the world. Once it leaves the nest to find the thorn tree, it must find it, and it nails itself to the longest and sharpest thorn and sings between the branches of the thorn tree. It transcends the sharp pain of dying, and the song is better than that of a lark and a nightingale. One time you sing, it comes at the cost of your life! Yet the whole world was silently listening, and even the God of heaven was laughing and talking in this song.
This introduction tells us that only by enduring great suffering can we attain perfection. Maybe the legend is just a legend, without considering its authenticity, but it attracts and moves people in a mournful and poignant way.
This novel has always been a different charm that I have not forgotten, but also given some inspiration. Thinking about it, how many dreams and pursuits we have in our lives, but with the walking of the annual rings, most of them have become a cloud of smoke without a trace. How many dreams have been in the heart, how many attachments have not been abandoned? Perhaps through the vicissitudes, the ideals of the past, the pursuits of the past, the fighting spirit of the youth have been worn out and obsolete.
How many dreams have been crushed by the footsteps of time
In this world, no one wants to be friends with suffering, especially mortals like me. The phrase we often hear, "Suffering is the best teacher," is nothing more than the realization gained by walking helplessly in suffering, not the fact that we ourselves like to be friends with suffering. However, each of us cannot avoid dealing with pain, and some people say: "Only when people really experience pain and suffering can they begin to mature." "For the weak, it is enough to destroy a world, and for a strong person, it will make you have a world."
Suddenly looking back, the man was in the middle of the light
Wang Guowei in "Words and Sayings on Earth" promotes the three realms of the ancient people who have become great things, and modern people are not like this. Without persistent pursuit, without hard work, how to talk about success? There is genius, but the superiority of genius is exactly where mortals such as me look up to it, such as spirit and courage like a thorn bird, and it is not a one-time success.
As the old saying goes, "You can't do it, but you can't do it." It tells us that it is not that you cannot bear pain, but that you are unwilling to face and endure pain, so you cannot attain perfection.
Unlimited scenery at dangerous peaks
A poem by Zheng Banqiao said it well: "Firmly believe that the green mountains do not relax, and the roots are in the broken rocks." Thousands of grinding blows are still strong, and Ren'er's east, west, south and north winds are strong. "It's just like the thorn bird tells us that life needs to be tenacious. Only by trying to climb upwards will you find that the infinite scenery is in the dangerous peak.
