I finished reading the book "Blood Romance" some time ago. The last line of the book is "The first draft was completed on August 31, 2002."
2002 is a very familiar but distant year. This book must have been very popular at that time. At least at that time, its TV series of the same name became popular all over the country because of the vivid performances of Sun Li and Liu Ye.
I have watched the TV series a few times, and the images in my memory are of a few young people wearing green military uniforms, riding bicycles on the streets, and some scenes of them as adults.
At that time, I wasn’t too interested in this kind of subject matter, so I didn’t read it. In a flash, 20 years have passed, and 20 years after the first draft of this book, I finally opened this book.
Why did you read this book? The main reason is that Mr. Zhang has been reading this book during the winter vacation, and he often expresses emotion.
Then, one morning at the end of the winter vacation, I couldn’t sleep, but I didn’t want to get up, so I went to the bookcase to look for a book. Then I saw this book, and I leaned on the bedside and read two books. Hour.
In fact, when I read the first dozen pages, I was still a little out of place. A contradictory feeling that I wanted to read on but was absent-minded bothered me. The books I like to read recently are history books, and I don’t really want to read novels.
Although I was conflicted, I persisted in watching it for two hours. Later, I stopped reading. Slowly, I discovered the reason that supported me in choosing it and persisting in reading it.
It’s because I am now in a changing era with the protagonists in the book, especially the male protagonist Zhong Yuemin. Or to be precise, I want to see how the characters in the book face it. How times change and how to fight against fate.
Not bad. Once again, I stood at a crossroads in my life. I gained strength and clear direction from the book. This book thoroughly explains the principles of life to readers through the life choices of various characters, especially Zhong Yuemin. Although we are separated by time from the characters in the book, these explorations of human nature are universal.
First of all, actively face the changes of the times.
As a person born in the 1950s, Zhong Yuemin has been in the midst of a swarm of historical changes.
When I was a teenager, I didn’t go to school and started a revolution;
When I was a little older, I went to the mountains and countryside as an educated youth;
Later I joined the army and participated in the war against Vietnam. Self-defense and counterattack;
After demobilization, he sold pancakes and fruits for a period of time, and then became a state-owned enterprise executive;
Then he was censored and imprisoned, and after regaining his freedom, he opened a restaurant, and finally ran to Wandering northwest.
I am born in the 1980s. They say that reform always starts with our generation. In fact, every generation will encounter changes. In the face of change, fear, panic, and being at a loss are inevitable, but in the end you need to accept the reality and face it positively.
Facing the tide of the times, Zhong Yuemin has also been confused and painful. He faced hunger when he first went to the countryside, was unable to demobilize in the army, and was temporarily lost after becoming a senior executive of a state-owned enterprise. He has experienced it all, but he is very Quickly adjust your mentality and maintain your true nature while dealing with all kinds of people in society.
Times will not wait for anyone, and the changes of the times are not based on personal will. But no matter how the times change, like Zhong Yuemin, maintain a kind background in life and the drive to move forward. You will always find a glimmer of hope for yourself in the great waves of the times.
Secondly, people should be sober and sober.
Zhong Yuemin can be said to be sober in the world:
He can respect each other and treat Li Kuiyong, who does not belong to his own class, with sincerity;
He realized early on that he was not All children want to be good;
He recognizes and practices diversified value orientations;
He will get emotional, but will insist on doing his job well;
When he was mobilizing the soldiers of the task force before the war, he talked about the relief of death that hit his heart;
These made him full of mental strength and real sobriety.
Again, on the road, experience it again.
Zhong Yuemin seems to be playing games, but in fact he is pursuing a life state of "on the road".
He hates the same life pattern, he is eager for change and full of curiosity about the unknown.
This kind of mentality enables him to be content and achieve different things under any difficult conditions.
Others were miserable when they went to the mountains and countryside, but he was immersed in the desolation of Xintianyou;
Having become a hero on the battlefield, he could have made a career in the army, but he felt that he could see the end at a glance The life was terrible;
While others were demobilized and vying to join the establishment, he felt that his freedom was restricted, so he ran to become a self-employed person...
His life can be said to be "unruly and unruly" Love freedom" and pursue "the free growth of the soul and the unrestrained expression of personality", and is a spiritual strongman. He lived out the true meaning of life: focusing on results and process, and always on the road.
This is the most enviable thing about Zhong Yuemin. He lives out his own life.
The image of Zhong Yuemin can be so vivid and three-dimensional, all thanks to the author Du Liang, who accurately grasps the pulse of the times, accurately portrays the characters, and accurately explores complex human nature, which makes people feel wonderful reading experience.
After reading the book, I still feel that it is not enough. I am also planning to watch the TV series. Liu Ye’s young temperament matches Zhong Yuemin very well.
Reading this book, I got what I wanted at this moment.
