Reflections after reading "The Count of Monte Cristo"
Love is also thorough, hatred is also thorough. Repaying kindness is also thorough, and revenge is also thorough. This is the biggest thing I have after reading "The Revenge of Monte Cristo" There is a saying in China that a gentleman takes revenge, and it is never too late in ten years. Revenge also requires recharging one's energy and energy, and cannot be done rashly based on a momentary mood. The Count of Monte Cristo, on the other hand, used his own The action illustrates this proverb. After fourteen years of living in the dungeon, his main purpose in life is to find his former relatives, former benefactors and former enemies. After confirming the person he is looking for, he is not like us. As seen in martial arts novels, he fought with his benefactor through fire and water, no matter what, he stabbed his enemy to death with a sword. He chose his own way. He did his best to the ship owner and his family who had been kind to him. Silently supporting him in various ways, but never letting them know that he actually came here just to repay his kindness. If his repayment of kindness is touching, then his revenge is so vivid that many of us also I was a little frightened after being praised so well.

After reading "The Red and the Black"
What the writer shows is first of all a typical window of the entire French society - a small The political structure of the city of Verrières. The aristocratic mayor Drina is the highest representative of the restoration dynasty here. He regards it as his bounden duty to safeguard the restoration regime and prevent the bourgeois liberals from gaining political power. Val, the director of the poor shelter Nuo Yuan was a small citizen. He got his current job because he took refuge in the Holy Society, a secret organization of the Catholic Church, thus tying himself to the restoration regime. Father Maslon, the treasonous priest, was a spy sent by the church. Everyone's words and deeds were based on Under his surveillance, in this era when the throne and the altar support each other, he is a hot person. The triumvirate composed of these three people reflects the situation where the restoration forces have monopolized power in the city of Verrière. And their opposites, They are a large number of aggressive bourgeois liberals with huge economic power. On the one hand, Stendhal described to people the tyranny of the royalists, and on the other hand, it also led people to draw the conclusion that the bourgeoisie with economic power , will also be the final winner politically. "The Red and the Black" was written before the July Revolution of 1830. Stendhal seemed to have an insight into this inevitable trend of historical movements.
A dog, a lifetime of love
——Reflections on reading "Goodbye, Kelu"
(361021) Li Xiaohui, Class 7, Grade 2, Jimei Middle School/Published in Chinese for Middle School Students ( There are excerpts)
When I was very young, I fell in love with kittens and puppies, not just because of their cuteness and innocence.
There is a Japanese writer named Ishiguro Kengo. He said that there have been many dogs in his life, and they seem to be connected to his destiny.
He has learned from dogs He received great comfort and encouragement, so he wrote the book "Goodbye, Kelu".
When I got this book, I was immediately attracted by its cover, which showed a lying Labrador dog on a deep
black background. .
That look in his eyes, that gesture, is so familiar.
I couldn't help but gently put my hand on its nose.
For a moment, it seemed to arouse a certain memory in my heart. There is a strange feeling in the palm of my hand, as if there is really warm, moist breath,
warming my hand. Those eyes were telling me its life.
Kelu is a pure Labrador. Perhaps it should have become an ordinary pet, but instead, it
is a guide dog. . It wasn't until I read this book that I realized what an amazing animal a guide dog is.
It will help the owner get on and off the vehicle, guide the owner to a safe road, stop when encountering intersections, and avoid obstacles.
Stop when the red light is on - Step forward... You can imagine how much blind people rely on guide dogs, and these behaviors of guide dogs are simply because of their love for people.
Kelu is a guide dog in Japan. After he retired, he was adopted by a couple named Nii. At that time, Kelu was already a weak old dog. The book said that Kelu was almost dying. Perhaps his lungs were compressed and he had difficulty breathing. He frequently signaled that he wanted to turn over, but in the end, he didn't even have the strength to signal. "Mr. Renjing kept stroking its head.
Mrs. Renjing rubbed its back and said to it in a calm tone: 'Xiao Ke, thank you, you don't need to work so hard anymore.
That’s it, just take your time and rest. When you get to the Kingdom of Heaven, you must accurately state your name ‘Renjing Kelu’!” Just
After that, Kelu Just stopped breathing. Seeing this, I choked with sadness, and finally cried, for the fall of this lovely life, and for a creature that I thought was extremely noble.
Forster said: "In this selfish world, a person's only unselfish friend is the only friend who does not abandon him.
The only friend who is not ungrateful is His dog." It can be said that "a dog, a lifetime of love."
Dogs regard humans as their gods. Even if people continue to let them down, betray them, and hurt them, they will always be humans' most loyal partners. Accompany our loneliness without complaint.
They are loyal and hard-working, but they want to give without expecting anything in return. In some secular people, these qualities have gradually disappeared.
There is extraordinary divinity in dog nature, but shameful bestiality is hidden in human nature.
This society is becoming more and more secular, more and more indifferent, and the gap between people's hearts is getting wider and wider. I wonder who is still maintaining the integrity at this time
How about becoming loyal? Who else allows you to come and go when you call, regardless of your rude and unreasonable treatment,
And who will endlessly accommodate you?
From then on, I told myself to love dogs more, and I also hope to tell others, please love your dogs.
Comments on the essay:
The article talks from dogs to people, from books to myself, and from myself to others, all originating from my own personality of loving dogs; article
Zhang Zhizong writes rationally, and reveals a kind of emotion and humanistic care from abroad to China and back to the world. "Articles seem to look at the mountains but not the mountains." Li Xiaohui's article has this advantage and is worth learning from.
"Biography of Famous People" Reading Notes
"Biography of Famous People" is based on the famous French writer Romain Rolland's "The Biography of Beethoven", "The Biography of Michelangelo" and "The Biography of Thors". They were all created in the early twentieth century and had a wide impact both at that time and in later generations. In these three biographies, Romain Rolland firmly grasped the similarities between these three artists in their respective fields, and focused on depicting their long-term suffering in pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty.
The book writes about three famous figures in the world. The first is the German composer: Beethoven; the other is the talented Italian sculptor: Michelangelo; and the last is the famous Russian writer: Tolstoy.
The most touching thing in this "Celebrity Biography" is the story of Beethoven. Beethoven was a musical genius. His talent was discovered by his father very early. Unfortunately, Beethoven's father was not a good father. He asked Beethoven to practice piano every day, regardless of his mood. They kept training him, and sometimes even put Beethoven and a violin in a room and locked him up for a whole day, using violence to force him to learn music. Beethoven's childhood was very miserable. His mother died when he was sixteen, and his father became a spendthrift alcoholic. These misfortunes pressed on Beethoven's head, leaving deep scars in his heart, which also led to his bad temper and eccentricity. But Beethoven did not sink because of this. He devoted all his energy to the music career he loved. Because of his talent and hard work, he soon became famous. When he was immersed in the happiness that music brought him, something unfortunate happened again: he became deaf. For a musician, the most important thing is his ears. However, a great musician like Beethoven, who made a living from music, has deaf ears. This blow is unacceptable to ordinary people.
Beethoven’s life was tragic and troubled, but why was he still successful? Why can he do things that normal people can't do? This got me thinking deeply. I think the reason why Beethoven succeeded was because he had extraordinary perseverance and fighting spirit. He had no fear in the face of difficulties. This is the secret of his success. In daily life, when we encounter difficulties, we often think of asking others for help instead of facing the difficulties head-on and making up our minds to solve them. As for Beethoven, because of his weird temper, no one wanted to be friends with him. Therefore, when he faced difficulties, he could only fight alone. Although I was very lonely, I learned something that others could not learn: as long as you give yourself infinite courage, you can defeat even the most terrifying enemy.
Romain Rolland called them "heroes" and wrote about their noble courage to fight against fate and their great feelings to bear the suffering of all mankind in touching words. As early as the 1930s and 1940s of the 20th century, In the 1990s, it was translated into Chinese by Mr. Fu Lei, a famous translator in my country. The inspiration he got from "The Biography of Celebrities" is: "Only real suffering can drive away the suffering of romantic Dick's fantasy; only heroic tragedy that overcomes suffering can Help us bear the cruel fate; only by holding the spirit of 'If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell', can we save a depressed and selfish nation..."
So, for today's readers, What can "Celebrity Biography" give us? In an era where material life is extremely rich but spiritual life
is relatively poor, in a society where people avoid the sublime, bid farewell to the sublime and settle for mediocrity, "The Biography of Celebrities" may give us more
It's mostly embarrassing, because the lives of these giants are like a bright mirror, making our despicableness and insignificance clearly visible. At the end of "The Life of Michelangelo"
Romain Rolland said that a great soul is like a high mountain, "I don't say that ordinary humans can survive on the peak. But once a year
They should go up and pay homage. There, they can change the breath in their lungs and the blood flow in their veins, where they will feel closer to eternity. My heart is filled with the courage to fight every day.” For our time, this is the truth. "Biography of Celebrities" confirms an ancient Chinese saying: Those who have achieved great success in ancient and modern times must not only have extraordinary talents, but also must have perseverance.
Beethoven's "Find shelter in sadness and forbearance", Michelangelo's "The more I suffer, the more I like it", Tolstoy's "I cry, I hurt
Bitterness, I just want the truth”, which all shows that a great life is an endless battle. Our era is ever-changing and full of opportunities.
We are eager to succeed, but we do not want to struggle. What we want is overnight success. Impetuousness and eagerness for quick success may make us achieve short-lived achievements, but it will never make us among the immortals among mankind.
Therefore, reading "The Biography of Celebrities" may make us sober.
. What makes "Jane Eyre" loved by everyone is probably the author's self-esteem and ordinaryness? Or, it is Charlotte's self-esteem and ordinaryness. She was a woman with a fiery soul and a simple appearance. This image is undoubtedly an immortal classic. But like her husband Rochester, this image always speaks in a tone similar to pride? Their contempt for others, more or less, once made me happy, but now it makes me uneasy. Charlotte relies on Jane Eyre,
This is what I know. But what I feel is that her contempt and almost hostile attitude toward the high-ranking nobles are somewhat deliberate. On the other hand, I read a feeling of inferiority in it.
Jane Eyre is a sensitive and easily hurt woman. It begins with a lengthy account of her childhood. But what I feel is that when describing the character Jane Eyre, Charlotte never left her body, so she did not describe it from an omniscient perspective. In this case, what she described can almost be regarded as her opinion. So, what I see in Jane Eyre is some kind of emotional inferiority, and then a love that is almost legendary. But its legendary nature reveals a certain unreality and fantasy, and the last ending is almost a bit forced. She met JOHN RIVERS. Although there is a pen in front, it is not that natural yet. Charlotte's treatment of Jane Eyre is very real at the beginning, very exciting in the middle, but there is an underlying uneasiness, and by the end, it is almost cliché? A cliché that I expected. In the end, everyone is undoubtedly happy, with a little sentimentality. Her foreshadowing and connection are perfect, and there are almost no flaws. But what I vaguely feel is that this is a story made up by a human woman. It already lacks the novel structure that makes me shudder? More often, I read Jane Eyre Leaving the Villa and stopped reading. If I were Charlotte, maybe I'd end up there. Because everything after that, in my opinion, is very clumsy compared to what happened before.
Reading Notes on "Water Margin" (1) - Beating Chiang Menshen Drunk
Wu Song killed Ximen Qing and was sent to Mengzhou to be exiled. He also met Zhang at Cross Slope. Qing and Sun Erniang. But these are not exciting enough, only Wu Song drunkenly beating Jiang Menshen in this episode is the most exciting.
In this episode, Wu Song went to help Shi En take back Happy Forest for the sake of personal friendship. On the way, every bartender had three bowls of wine. These two points show that he has a self-indulgent feeling.
And his teasing before beating Jiang Menshen was even more exciting. He first went to the bartender to find trouble, then made Jiang Menshen anxious, and then beat him severely. This can prove that Wu Song is a rough man but also a fine man. people.
His teasing can be divided into several details. He changed the wine three times, and then asked Jiang Menshen's concubines to drink with him. When they were full, he started fighting with them (including Jiang Menshen). ).
After he captured Chiang Shoten, he was afraid that he would sue the government. When he asked for the third thing he wanted from Chiang Shoten, he was afraid that he would sue the government and take back Happy Forest in the future, so he asked him to If you leave Mengzhou, you are not allowed to live here. This also shows how careful Wu Song is.
"Water Margin" Reading Notes (2) - Killing the Four Tigers in Yiling
After seeing Song Jiang and his son reunited, Li Kui also missed his mother, so he went to Baizhang in Yishui County Village to pick up his mother.
On the way there, he encountered a fake Li Kui dressed as Li Gui and threatened him. Li Gui was defeated and begged for mercy, saying that he still had a ninety-year-old mother, and to kill him would be to kill him and his mother together. Li Kui took pity on him, so he spared him and gave him a piece of silver to let him go.
I think the author was disgusted with people like Li Gui, so he let Li Gui and Li Kui meet again, and asked Li Kui to kill him. One is that the author can vent his anger, and the other is that the readers can also agree with him and feel a heroic temperament after reading it, as if he is Li Kui. Li Kui's killing of Li Gui is very exciting.
But the scene where Li Kui killed the tiger while carrying his mother across Yiling was the most exciting. First, he went to fetch water, and then found that the old mother was missing. He also found two tiger cubs and two human legs. He killed the tiger cubs in anger. The male and female tigers came to seek revenge and were killed respectively.
It's a pity that after killing the tiger, he was invited to his home as a guest, and was later captured. This makes people want to fight for Li Kui after reading it, which shows the author's good intentions.
"Water Margin" Reading Notes (3) - Complaining about the Lion Tower
Wu Song took the position of capital in Yanggu County and went to Beijing to work. When he came back, he learned that his brother Wu Dalang was dead. Wu Song was suspicious and found out the truth and went to sue the officials. Unexpectedly, he knew that the county office had been bribed, so he had no choice but to go to the Lion House to avenge Wu Dalang.
Among them, the most exciting thing to watch is the part where Ximen Qing was killed in the final revenge. Although Wu Dalang died, Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing also got the consequences she deserved, and Wu Song served the people Zhihu was also sent to Mengzhou. I think this may be the author satirizing the stupidity of the court at that time. Ximen Qing is described by the author here as "stinking". Almost everyone scolded him after reading it. This shows how good the author is at describing characters!
"Water Margin" Reading Notes (4) - Selling Knives in Bianjing City
Yang Zhi ran out of money, so he had to sell his sword to earn some money and go to another country to make a living. Unexpectedly, when he was selling knives, the local rogue Niu Er was insulted in every possible way. Yang Zhi couldn't bear it, so he killed Niu Er and went to the newspaper office. Finally, he was sentenced to exile in Daming Mansion.
The most interesting thing is the scene when Yang Zhi sells knives. First, he asked who bought the knife. When Niu Er came, he asked him to try the knife. Niu Er tried to obstruct and humiliate him in every possible way, and was finally killed. This tells us what some of the ruffians at that time were like. The killing of Niu Er not only vented the anger of the common people in the book, but also made the readers feel relieved after reading it. This may be because the author grasped the psychology of the readers.
Reading Notes of "Water Margin" (V) - Poem on Xunyang Tower
After Song Jiang arrived at Jiangzhou, he met Shenxing Taibao and others. One day when I was drinking in Xunyang Tower, I took advantage of the drunkenness and wrote an anti-poem on the wall, and also left my name. Finally, Huang Wenbing saw him thrown into death row.
This incident makes readers dumbfounded when it comes to Song Jiang. They don’t know what to say about him, and there are no exciting parts in this episode. It's just that the author can write Song Jiang to the point where readers can't tell anything about Song Jiang after reading it, which is really amazing. It can only be said that Song Jiang was too confused to mention any poems. And it is precisely with this episode that we can better set off the scene of the interception field in the next episode. A section of Song Jiang's poem "Being Caught" is used to set off the scene at the execution site later. Indeed, it is better to use Song Jiang to write poems than to use other methods. The first is to make you unable to say anything, and the second is to give them more solid reasons for intercepting the magic field. So I think this episode is good.
The most precious thing for a person is life, and life belongs to us only once. A person's life should be spent in this way: when he looks back on the past, he will not regret for wasting his years, nor be ashamed of being inactive - so that when he is dying, he can say: " My whole life and all my energy have been dedicated to the most magnificent cause in the world - the struggle for the liberation of mankind."
——"How Steel Was Tempered"
The straight mountain peak that I just saw from a distance is standing on the mouth of the gorge. The mountain is as sharp as an axe, graceful and graceful. (Case): It is acceptable to use "junxiu" to describe a "mountain" that is "straight" and "like an axe", but it is inappropriate to use "graceful" to describe it. "Graceful" refers to a soft and beautiful posture. How can a mountain peak as straight as "axe-cut" give people a soft feeling? You can change "graceful" to "tall and straight".
