--Essay on a Trip to Europe (3)
In Prague, it is impossible not to walk around the banks of the Vltava River. I believe that there will be new cognition and new understanding between each step.
The Prague-born Nobel Prize nominee, french writer Milan Kundera, set in Prague and wrote the world-famous book "Life Cannot Bear the Lightness".
In this tome, Kundera uses beautiful language to teach people how to be brave and how to draw nourishment from life. This is a philosophical novel that makes people think, both metaphorical philosophical thinking and the display of joy and sorrow in life. People often complain about too many responsibilities, worldliness, and helplessness in life, lament that there are too many unbearable weights in life, and they want to unload psychological or practical baggage and move forward lightly. Kundera tells people in eloquent language: in the love poem, women long for the weight of men, and the heaviest burden also becomes the strongest vitality.
Stroll the pedestrian bridge on the Vltava River, the Charles Stone Bridge, and listen to the song:
Square at dusk in Prague
Hope is cast in the Wishing Fountain
The flock of white pigeons had their backs to the setting sun
The picture was so beautiful I couldn't dare look at it
An uninhabited corridor on Prague Square
I danced alone and rotated
Not far away you chant softly
You really aren't used to it without me
See in the direction of the piano
Roses are attached to eighteenth-century paintings
On the side, quietly enjoy
Thinking about it, your romance
……
Man can never know what he really wants, because he can only live once, and he can neither compare it with his previous life nor correct it in future lives.
Remember the world-renowned motto of the city of Prague:
What is offensive is far from the ugliness of the world,
It's the beautiful mask that the world wears.
