No one can defeat me, I will hold on to the throat of fate. ——Beethoven
Finally liberated from the prison of marble. The cause of science is to serve the people. ——Leo Tolstoy

Love and kindness are truth and happiness, and they are the real existence and the only possible happiness in the world.
Yes, the best way to achieve true happiness in life is to be like a spider, spreading the sticky web of love from itself to all directions without restrictions, and catching everything that falls on the web. .
Science and art are as important as bread and water, if not more important. --------Leo Tolstoy

I was deeply moved after reading Romain Rolland's "Biography of Famous People".
Romain Rolland was a famous French writer in the 20th century. His works are a powerful spiritual pillar for people. "Celebrity Biography" tells the story of Beethoven, Michelangelo and Tolstoy. They experienced various hardships but did not give in to fate. They still fought unyieldingly at the last second of their lives and finally became Great man. This also tells us a truth: difficulties and setbacks are the best training for destiny and life! This work praises their noble character and tenacious fighting spirit.
Among these three great men, Beethoven left the deepest impression on me. He has a burning passion for music and has created many excellent works. His works are profound, magnificent and full of fantasy. But disaster still befell him mercilessly. In 1802, he realized that his hearing impairment was incurable and would soon worsen. That means he may never be able to create again! What a blow! But he was able to fight against fate tenaciously, which may be the reason why he was able to write so many immortal works in his later period. This spirit of never compromising on life and destiny is what we should learn from. This great and unyielding soul brings light to the dark world and hope to life.
Reading Beethoven’s story reminded me of Helen Keller, a person with the same strong perseverance. Her life was also very unfortunate. A serious illness in her childhood turned her into a little girl who was blind, deaf and mute. In her world, there is no color, no sound, and no way to express her thoughts. But the injustice of fate did not make her lose hope. She was eager to understand everything, so she redoubled her efforts and eventually became one of the most influential figures in the nineteenth century.
Beethoven and Helen Keller encountered different hardships in life, but they had the same spirit - never give in to fate! This not only makes me admire but also makes me think deeply. As a middle school student in the 21st century, the competition in society has become more intense. We have more and more homework, and the difficulties in learning have also increased. Do we also need this kind of spirit when facing many difficulties and pressures? yes! When encountering difficulties, when academic performance declines, let us "brighten our eyes again with the light of Beethoven." Use firm belief to face setbacks, and use tenacious perseverance to realize our ideals

"The Biography of Famous People" was written by the French writer Romain Rolland. 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 he was very lonely, he learned something that others could not learn: as long as you give yourself unlimited courage, you can defeat even the most terrifying enemy.
Finally, I hope that people all over the world can remember Beethoven and live like Beethoven.

"Biography of Famous People" is composed of "The Biography of Beethoven", "The Biography of Michelangelo" and "The Biography of Tolstoy" by the famous French writer Romain Rolland. They were all created in the early twentieth century and had a wide impact both at the time and in later generations. In these three biographies, Romain Rolland did not stick to trivial examinations of the lives of the subjects, nor did he generally trace their creative processes. Instead, he firmly grasped the three artists in their respective fields. The similarities are focused on depicting their mental journeys of enduring suffering for a long time in pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty. Romain Rolland called them "heroes" and wrote about their noble courage to fight against fate and their great feelings to shoulder the suffering of all mankind with touching pen and ink. It can be said that he wrote another "heroic symphony" for us. .
As early as the 1930s and 1940s, "The Biography of Celebrities" was translated into Chinese by Mr. Fu Lei, a famous translator in my country. The first-class biographer, first-class author and first-class translator made this book a masterpiece. The work quickly became a classic and is still loved by readers today. The first half of the 20th century was a turbulent and suffering period in human history. Romain Rolland wrote "The Biography of Famous People" and Mr. Fu Lei translated "The Biography of Famous People". They were all inspired by the lives of these great men. Draw the strength to survive and the courage to fight. Mr. Fu Lei said, "When the haze covers the entire sky," the inspiration he got from "The Biography of Celebrities" is: "Only real suffering can drive away the suffering of romantic Dick's fantasy; only the heroic tragedy that overcomes suffering can , 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, Say, 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 embarrassment, because the careers of these giants are like A bright mirror makes our despicableness and insignificance clearly visible. We would rather praise their works than feel the greatness of their personalities. 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 human beings 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. There, they will feel closer to eternity. Later, they will return to the vast plains of life, filled with the courage to fight every day." This is truly a golden statement for our time. Can people in today's society still understand it?
"The Biography of Celebrities" very well confirms an ancient Chinese saying: Those who have achieved great things in ancient and modern times are not only 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 am in pain, I just want the truth", all show that great life is An endless battle. Our era is ever-changing and full of opportunities. We long for success, but we don’t 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.

“Be kind-hearted and love freedom above all else. Even for the sake of the throne, you will never betray the truth.”——Beethoven
“Healing What makes me miserable is more pleasing to me.
”——Michelangelo
“I cry, I suffer, I just want the truth”——Leo Tolstoy
“Celebrities” describes people in different situations. The spiritual power and spiritual beauty of three great artists of different eras and nationalities. They are the great German musician Beethoven in the 19th century, the famous Italian sculptor Michelangelo in the Renaissance, and the Russian literary giant Tolstoy. Their noble courage to fight against fate and their great feelings to shoulder the suffering of all mankind allow us to get close to the great personalities of the heroes and feel their long-term suffering in pursuit of truth, goodness, beauty, truth and justice. It inspires us more, Get more.
"The Biography of Celebrities" very well confirms an ancient Chinese saying: Those who achieve great things in ancient and modern times must not only have extraordinary talents, but also have perseverance. Roland firmly grasps the similarities between these three artists in their respective fields to restore the noble humanitarian tradition of 20th century literature and restore Beethoven's colorful character from the moment of glory to the peak of his fame. The combination of poverty at the bottom of life, the tortuous life from misery in childhood to the pursuit of joy in old age, just as Romain Rolland described "his whole life is like a thunderstorm", from which I realized that Beethoven has always been with him. He fights against fate and thoughts. Although he gives people a sense of arrogance, the fragility and strength in his heart cannot be explored by those who don't know him. His passion for creating perfect songs and his desire to find joy. Persistence, the encounter with perfection, led his life to become "a force of nature; the kind of battle between a primitive force and the rest of nature produces the spectacle of Homer's epic", he Using his own suffering to create joy, "exchanging pain for joy" is enough to condense his life, so why not Michelangelo? "He has strength, he is lucky enough to be born to struggle, and he is born to conquer." Also conquered - he doesn't want victory. That's not what he wanted. "He is a spiritual aristocrat and a genius. However, he is troubled by genius, and even his spirit and soul are powerless. This crazy stimulation exists in a body and soul that is too weak and cannot control its terrible life. From this, I It can be seen that his life was sacred and painful, but he believed that as long as his soul could be persevering and courageous and not sink blindly due to misery, he would definitely break through the spiritual shackles. He dedicated his life in struggle and sacrifice. Tolstoy, the great soul of Russia who shines on the earth, used his powerful energy to soothe people in the gloomy sunset at the end of the 19th century. With his pen, he wrote a series of works that allow us to follow Tolstoy's contradictory experiences step by step in his adventurous career. In addition to the gloomy society at that time, these works also described his belief in God with his unremitting pen. Sow the seeds of love to the world. I deeply understand that he insists on faith for truth and justice, and writes his life for truth and justice.
Heroes are always so tall and worthy in my heart. It's beyond my reach. Today, when I held a copy of "The Biography of Famous People" and savored its essence, I realized what a real hero is.
Beethoven composed thousands of poems with his deaf ears. Hundreds of famous songs; Michelangelo carved hundreds of masterpieces under the grief of losing his mother at the age of 6, and died in his studio; Tolstoy released his anger in the flames of war; their great pain and loneliness tempered their strength The will to become great heroes of the "spirit"
Yes, Beethoven, Michelangelo and Tolstoy are all conquerors of the world and we enjoy the works created by their genius. , just like enjoying the great achievements of our ancestors, we no longer want to hear the blood they shed. This is undoubtedly an embarrassing thing for us, because the lives of these giants are like a mirror, making our despicableness and insignificance fully visible. We would rather. To praise their works but not to feel the greatness of their personalities. No, the great souls are like mountains, where we will get greater enlightenment. "The Biography of Celebrities" is like composing a "heroic symphony" for us. ". The inspiration we get from it is: Sufferings and disasters will happen to everyone. Instead of blaming others, we should work hard. Instead of envying great men, we should learn from the great personalities of great men and make our lives full of meaning. Instead of relying on impetuousness and quick success Instead of achieving short-lived achievements, it is better to persist in our own beliefs, truth and justice, and let ourselves be among the immortals among mankind.
As long as we realize the sublimation of our souls in "The Biography of Celebrities", it will make us proud. The blood of heroes is presented in front of us, and the red flag of heroes is flying above our heads. We slowly feel that in this society where people avoid the sublime, bid farewell to the sublime and settle for mediocrity, our souls have also been sublimated to A kind of sublimity.
