In the mind of the great British writer Charles Dickens, there is a mountain house - The Meaning of The Grid Hill - is extraordinary. When he was a young boy, he and his father happened to be passing through The Grid Hills while walking in Kendershire one day. This villa was built tall and wide, giving a mysterious and solemn impression. The towering walls are full of foliage and greenery, and the whole villa seems to be hidden deep in the forest, and it seems to be hanging high in a fairyland. Little Charles lifted his head vigorously and carefully examined this alluring and fanciful mansion, with infinite envy in his eyes. Perhaps in his young and curious heart, this was an ideal treasure hall.
When the father saw his son motionless, he guessed his thoughts. He opened his broad palm and touched his son's head and said to him kindly, "As long as you work hard and persevere, one day, you will walk into this house and own it."
It was just a casual word of encouragement, not a motto left by a father to his son, but it came into the heart of little Charles, who remembered the scene. In the days that followed, Charles suffered many hardships. At the age of 12, his father was imprisoned for debt, the family moved to a cell with his father, and he was sent to a shoe factory in London as an apprentice. In the shoe factory, he had to work at least 10 hours a day, did not eat well, did not live well, did not rest enough, and was bullied by the foreman, but little Charles did not give up. He also remembered his father's words and the green Gerd Hill, so he worked hard to overcome these difficulties.
Slowly, little Charles's family situation improved, and he was given the opportunity to return to school. After graduating from school, he worked in a law firm and later transferred to a newspaper as a journalist covering parliamentary debates. In this role, he constantly honed himself, tirelessly interviewed a large number of policy debates, and often traveled the country to cover various election events. As a result of his long-term accumulation, he published more and more articles in newspapers and magazines, and eventually collected them into the Boz Notes for publication. Later, he successively wrote novels such as "Pickwick's Tale", "Orphan of the Mist", "Nicholas NickBey" and "The Old Antique Shop", and became a world-renowned writer. At the age of 36, he finally bought the Gete Villa, where he lived for the rest of his life, until the moment of his death, a dream from childhood to old age.
