After reading romain rolland's Who's Who, I was deeply touched. Romain rolland is a famous French writer in the 20th century, and his works are a powerful spiritual pillar for people. Biographies of Beethoven, Michelangelo and Tolstoy. They went through all kinds of hardships, but they didn't give in to fate. They fought tirelessly at the last second of their lives and eventually became great men. This also tells us a truth: difficulties and setbacks are the best tempering of fate and life!
Among the three great men, Beethoven impressed me the most. He loves music and has created many excellent works. His works are profound, magnificent and full of fantasy. But disaster struck him mercilessly. 1802, he realized that his hearing impairment was incurable and would deteriorate quickly. This means that he may never create again! What a blow! But he can stubbornly fight against fate, which may be the reason why he can write so many immortal works in his later period. Irene Brockovich's spirit of life and destiny is exactly what we should learn. This great and unyielding soul makes the dark world shine and gives life hope.
Reading Beethoven's story reminds me of Helen Keller, a person with strong perseverance. Her life is also unfortunate. A serious illness in childhood turned her into a blind, deaf and dumb little girl. In her world, without color and sound, she can't express her thoughts. But the injustice of fate did not make her lose hope. Eager to know everything, she redoubled her efforts and eventually became one of the most influential figures in the19th century.
Beethoven and Helen Keller suffered different hardships in their lives, but they have the same spirit-never give in to fate! This not only made me admire, but also caused me to think deeply. As middle school students in 2 1 century, social competition is more intense. We have more and more homework and more difficulties in learning. In the face of many difficulties and pressures, do we also need this spirit? Yes! When we encounter difficulties and our academic performance drops, let's "re-polish our eyes with Beethoven's light." Face setbacks with firm faith and realize ideals with tenacious perseverance.

Who's Who was written by French writer romain rolland. Three famous people in the world are written in this book. The first is a German composer: Beethoven; The other is a talented Italian sculptor: Michelangelo; The last one is a famous Russian writer: Tolstoy.
In this biography of Who is Beethoven, what moved me most was his story. Beethoven is a musical genius, and his talent was discovered by his father very early. It's a pity that Beethoven's father is not a good father. He asked Beethoven to practice the piano every day, no matter what his mood was, and he worked hard. Sometimes he even put Beethoven and a violin in a room for a whole day and forced him to learn music by violence. Beethoven's childhood was very miserable. His mother died when he was 16 years old, and his father became a profligate alcoholic. These misfortunes weighed on Beethoven's head together, leaving deep scars in his heart, which led to his grumpy and eccentric temper. But Beethoven did not sink because of this. He devoted all his energy to the music career he loved. Thanks to his talent and diligence, he soon became famous. When he was intoxicated with the happiness brought by music, the unfortunate thing happened again: he was deaf. For a musician, the most important thing is his ears, but a great musician who lives on music like Beethoven is deaf, which is unacceptable to ordinary people.
Beethoven's life is tragic and full of disasters, but why did he succeed? Why can he do what normal people can't? This caused me to think deeply. In my opinion, Beethoven's success is due to his perseverance and spirit of struggle. He is fearless in the face of difficulties. This is the secret of his success.
In our daily life, when we encounter difficulties, we often think of asking others for help, instead of directly facing the difficulties and making up our minds to solve them. Beethoven, on the other hand, was eccentric and no one wanted to be friends with him. So in the face of difficulties, he can only fight alone. Although lonely, I have learned something that others can't: as long as I give myself unlimited courage, even the most terrible enemy can be defeated.
Finally, I hope people all over the world can remember Beethoven and live like Beethoven.

The Biography of Who Is Who was written by the famous French writer romain rolland. The works of Beethoven, Michelangelo and Tolstoy were all written in the early 20th century, which had a wide influence at that time and later. In these three biographies, romain rolland didn't stick to the trivial textual research of the master's life, nor did he trace back their creative process in general. Instead, we firmly grasp the commonness of these three artists and their respective fields, and strive to portray their mental journey of enduring suffering for a long time and pursuing truth, goodness and beauty. Romain rolland called them "heroes" and wrote with touching pen and ink their lofty courage to fight against fate and great feelings to bear the suffering of all mankind, which can be said to be another "heroic symphony" of ours.
As early as 1930s and 1940s, the famous translator Mr. Fu Lei translated Whose Biography into Chinese. First-class propagandist, first-class author and first-class translator made this work quickly become a classic, and it is still deeply loved by readers. The first half of the 20th century was a turbulent and painful period in human history. Romain rolland wrote "Whose Biography" and Mr. Fu Lei translated "Whose Biography", all by feeling, in order to learn the strength of survival and the courage to fight from the lives of these great men. Mr. Fu Lei said, "When the whole sky is shrouded in gloom", the inspiration he got from Who's Who is: "Only real suffering can drive away the suffering of romantic Dick's fantasy; Only by overcoming the heroic tragedy of suffering can we help us bear the cruel fate; Only by holding the spirit of' who will go to hell if I don't go to hell' can we save a depressed and selfish nation ... "
So, for today's readers, what can the biography of Who give us? In an era when material life is extremely rich and spiritual life is relatively poor, and in a society where people avoid the sublime and bid farewell to the sublime, Whose Biography may give us more embarrassment, because the lives of these giants are like a mirror, reflecting our meanness and smallness. We would rather praise their works than feel the greatness of their personality. Romain rolland said at the end of the biography of Michelangelo that a great soul is like a mountain. "I'm not saying that ordinary human beings can survive at the peak. But once a year, they should go up and bow. There, they can change the breathing in the lungs and the blood flow in blood vessels. There, they will feel closer to eternity. In the future, they will return to the vast plains of life, and their hearts are full of courage in daily fighting. " For our time, this is really a stone.
Who's Who well proves an old saying of China people: Those who have achieved great things in ancient and modern times must have perseverance and extraordinary talents. Beethoven's "Seeking refuge in sadness and forbearance", Michelangelo's "The more I suffer, the more I like it" and Tolstoy's "I cry, I suffer, I just want the truth" all show that a great life is an endless battle. Our times are ever-changing and full of opportunities. We are eager for success, but we don't want to struggle. What we want is to become famous overnight. Impetuousness and quick success may make us achieve short-term achievements, but we must never be among the immortals of mankind. Therefore, reading Who's Who may sober us up.

Good heart, love and freedom are above everything else. Even for the throne, I will never betray the truth. "-Beethoven
"The more painful, the more I like it." Michelangelo
"I cry, I suffer, I just want to know the truth"-Tolstoy
Who's Who describes the spiritual strength and beauty of three great artists of different times and nationalities. They are Beethoven, a great German musician in the19th century, Michelangelo, a famous Italian sculptor in the Renaissance, and Tolstoy, a great Russian literary master. They wrote their lofty courage to fight against fate and their great feelings to bear the suffering of all mankind, so that we can get close to the great personalities of heroes with our hearts and feel their long-term suffering in pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty.
Who's Who well proves an old saying of China people: Those who have achieved great things in ancient and modern times must have perseverance and extraordinary talents. Romain rolland firmly grasped the commonness between these three artists and their respective fields, and began to restore the lofty humanitarian tradition of 20th century literature and their colorful characters. Beethoven's tortuous life, from the glory he enjoyed for an instant to the poverty at the bottom of his life, from the suffering of his childhood to the pursuit of happiness in his later years, is just like what Roman Roland described as "a life like a thunderstorm". From this, I realized that Beethoven had been struggling with fate and thoughts. Although he gives people a sense of arrogance, his inner weakness and strength can't be tapped by people who don't know him. His passion for writing perfect songs, his persistence in seeking happiness, and his persistence in perfect meeting make his life a natural force; The battle between a primitive force and the rest of nature produced Homer's epic spectacle. He created happiness with his own suffering, and "taking pleasure in suffering" was enough to condense his life. Michelangelo, isn't he? "He has the strength, he was born to fight, to conquer, and he also conquered-he doesn't want to win. This is not what he expected. " He is a spiritual aristocrat and a genius, but he is troubled by genius, and even his spirit and mind are powerless. This crazy excitement exists in a terrible life that is too weak physically and mentally to control. It can be seen that his life is sacred and painful, but he believes that as long as his soul can endure and resolutely, and does not blindly sink into suffering, it will certainly break through the spiritual bondage. In the struggle and abandonment, he spent his whole life creating immortal masterpieces expressing truth, goodness and beauty. Tolstoy, the great Russian soul shining with flames on the earth, soothed people's stars in the dusk at the end of 19. With his powerful pen, he wrote works that let us follow Tolstoy's contradictory experience step by step. In addition to the darkness of the society at that time, these works describe the belief in God, who persistently spread the seeds of love to the world with the pen tip. I deeply realized that he insisted on faith and wrote life for truth and justice.
Yes, Beethoven, Michelangelo and Tolstoy are all conquerors of the world. We appreciate the works created by their genius, just as we appreciate the great achievements of our ancestors, and we no longer want to hear their blood. This is undoubtedly an embarrassing thing for us, because the lives of these giants are like a mirror, reflecting our meanness and smallness. We would rather praise their works than feel the greatness of their personality. No, great souls are like mountains, where we will get more enlightenment. Who's Who is like writing us a symphony of heroes. The enlightenment we get from this is that everyone will suffer and suffer disasters. It is better to work hard than to complain about others. We should not worship great men, but learn from the greatness of great men's personality and make our life full of meaning. We should not rely on impetuousness and quick success, but should stick to our faith, truth and justice and make ourselves immortal.
As long as we realize that "Whose Biography" has sublimated our hearts, let the hero's blood appear in front of us and let the hero's red flag fly above our heads, we will gradually feel that in this society where people avoid the sublime, bid farewell to the sublime and settle for mediocrity, our soul has also sublimated into a kind of sublime.
