"Wind and Rain Harvard Road": Wind and Rain Harvard

After watching the movie, the memory is gone, so reading books is to revisit the old land, is to relive the old dream. The book begins and ends with the birth of an ordinary girl who knows that she has been admitted to harvard, a world-renowned university. The afterword also tells about the author's current life. Looking back, it was really like a dream.

Liz's parents drank and used drugs, causing the family to be broken up and dependent on government relief to support the family. Before Liz was born, there was an older sister, Lisa. Parents are unqualified parents, and they would give Liz enough love in their normal state, but when they fall into a trance state, they seem to have nothing to do with all the people in the world. Liz knew what her parents were doing, and even later her parents no longer hid it from Liz, and was using various small utensils in front of her, like a game, falling into a state of madness. Whenever they receive the relief money, they will be eager to buy drugs that can make them crazy and excited, and when the money is spent, they will begin to look forward to the arrival of the next relief money and look through the autumn water.

Liz grew up reluctantly in a poor life, and her bright mind often missed school and skipped school, but she still completed her studies with high scores. When she was in middle school, she couldn't resist the temptation of the world of flowers and flowers, and slowly drifted towards the colorful real society.

The violations suffered as a child, to the betrayals when they grow up, are like scars that can be seen with the naked eye. Because of poverty, she learned to lie, to learn to steal, to learn all kinds of trajectories that would keep her alive, and the seeds that were thrown into the crevices of the stones would take root and sprout at all costs, even if they violated the social system and the rules of nature.

Under the influence of school education, she gradually learned to rely on her own labor to get the due remuneration, but the world is too gorgeous, drunken fans, sounds and colors, how can it be so easy to get rid of.

Until one day, she met friends who were completely different from before, they were also poor, but they did not damage their personality, like trees growing towards the sun, not afraid of wind and rain, not afraid of frost and snow, not afraid of thunder and lightning, growing actively. The so-called near Zhu is red, close to ink is black, and Liz is trying her best to go on the right path.

Her first step was to get a place in the school, her mother died, her sister was far away, and she herself escaped from the welfare institution, had no place to settle, and even the home address she applied for at the school was a friend. She set her sights on her father. After her mother lived with someone else, she also left her father shortly after, and she could not bear her mother's betrayal of her father, and even more could not bear her father's betrayal of her mother and the whole family. But at this time she had to ask her father. Goodbye Father, things change.

Liz, who successfully enrolled, redoubled her efforts and completed her credits ahead of schedule, and it was at this time that she came into contact with college students through friends and part-time jobs, which were completely different from the group in which she lived. She wanted to be one of them.

Before applying for college, my friend said that she believed she could become a Harvard student, she tried, got good results, and finally got the help of many people, successfully graduated, and also gained her own career.

At this point, the story ends, and it is a typical representative of the American dream. When reading "Wind and Rain Harvard Road", my mind always can't help but flash the shadow of "There is a Tree in Brooklyn" and "My Genius Girlfriend", probably because the heroines live in slums, and then drag a rope and desperately climb up. In the present era, although there are many shortcomings, it is good enough. Liz in "Stormy Harvard Road" was born in 1980 and is still thirty-nine years old, and Lennon and Lila in "My Genius Girlfriend" will be older, especially in "There is a Tree in Brooklyn". By learning knowledge, women broaden their horizons and broaden their horizons to understand that the kitchen is not their lifelong cage, and the factory is not their only choice. They experiment with more diverse careers, all based on knowledge. If this is not the case, then even if it seems to be modern and civilized, it will be just a cloud of people, like dead leaves floating on the flowing water, allowing people to decide their own destiny.

Liz's first twenty years of encounters are like Liu Yuanyuan said in her speech, fate always slips through the net, unfortunately, her encounters will not become the majority, perhaps because of this, her opportunities will seem so precious.
