"When you see Christophe's face,
This is the day when you will die, not from evil. -Latin inscription under the statue of St. Christophe in front of the ancient church "
When reading "John Christophe", John? Christophe's head flashed from time to time. When I caught a glimpse of its brilliance, I was immediately shocked. This is a bright and intense light in the morning. I followed it, as if isolated from the noisy world, followed it, singing, crying and full of joy.
As Mr. Fu Lei said: "The true light is never that there will never be darkness, but that it will never be covered by darkness. A true hero never lacks humble feelings, but he never gives in to them. Therefore, before you want to defeat foreign enemies, you must first defeat your internal enemies. You don't have to be afraid of stumbling, as long as you can constantly extricate yourself and constantly update yourself. "
John? Christophe has been ardently pursuing all his life, and constantly struggling with his sincere enthusiasm. His realistic thoughts and never-say-die fighting spirit give all readers the strength to fight. No wonder Roman? Roland dedicated the novel to "the free soul that all countries are suffering, struggling and about to overcome." Where's Roman Roland's meticulous portrayal is also successful, "John? Christophe is not a novel, or more than a novel, but a "free soul" who dares to resist imperfect civilization, dares to pursue truth, goodness and beauty, does not go with the flow and has a strong sense of responsibility.
This Beethoven-style heroic history has nurtured generations of noble souls. I turned the page full of idealism, burning with restless passion. I have sighed for a long time for the hardships he shouldered the heavy burden of life in his youth, hesitated and depressed for his frustrated love in his youth, excited for his brave and frank attack and resolute resistance to vulgar culture, indignant for all kinds of humiliation and malicious attacks he suffered, sad and sorry for his loss of his best friend Olivier and lover Grazia, and rejoiced and rejoiced for his success after twists and turns. Taking its sadness as sorrow and its joy as joy, I believe that everyone who watches this work has such an experience, and can help John in a music-filled space? Christophe's affection, love and friendship made him sad and moved, and even shed tears for you.
When he was a child, his heart was occupied by music, and he couldn't help falling in love with music and wanted to dedicate his life to this art that condensed all his joys and sorrows. His uncle Gottfried, the advocate of the "ordinary people" of the rural hawker, had real feelings and gave John another kind of education. He sang beautiful songs, let John breathe the fresh air in the fields, feel countless instruments in nature symphonies at night, feel the beauty and tranquility of nature, and create real music in life, which made John? Christophe was influenced by better music. This is a long and quiet walk and meditation between heaven and earth. When is John? Christophe's love was hit again and again, and he was depressed. When he spent all day in pubs with some irresponsible friends, his uncle helped him break through the net of lust and made him refreshed and immersed in music creation. Christopher is very alert.
Ada appeared-the tide of lust put John? Christophe's thoughts swept away. Because of Ada's depravity, she insulted her pure feelings, and then quickly made John think that the original woman's soul was dead ... and then the actress Fran? ois ... John? Christophe finally realized that as long as the heart remains the same, the degradation of the body is unreasonable. If the heart changes, everything is over. The lover's body and the soul of this sacred body can replace all knowledge and all beliefs. However, when the spiritual tree fell, the vine-like love lost its support, so the two were destroyed in love. It can be said that Ada and Fran? ois are just John. A carrier of Christophe's love bud is John? Christophe's true love had not yet arrived during the cholera.
The beautiful Grazia gave it to John? Christophe's purest love. The woman who fell in love with Christophe in childhood became Christophe's closest friend in her later years. The relationship between them is so pure and sacred that they get rid of all the worldly things and sublimate into love.
Christophe is recognized as a musical genius, but few people really understand his music. Too many people just follow the trend. In fact, they don't have an artistic heart at all-only she, Grazia, helped Christopher when no one understood him and when he was in the most difficult time. She is Christopher's true bosom friend. "Every time I go to places where my soul lives in the shadow of beauty and loneliness, I secretly hope to stay forever and never leave." Grazia reawakened Christophe in the chaos and restored his vitality. This quiet, gentle and delicate young woman comforted the injured talented musician with the most selfless care, made his eyes clear and bright again, made his ears sensitive and focused again, and made him re-perceive the charm of nature and the grace of God.
John? Christophe and Olivier hit it off as soon as they met. They all have kind souls and lofty ideals. Two young people are hungry but happy in the same apartment. They don't talk much, but as long as they think about each other, they feel comfortable. Olivier admired John's musical talent and abundant energy. John also likes Olivier's wisdom, clarity, humility and kindness. They all love freedom. Christophe is male and full of strength. He wants to protect his beloved friend and express his gentleness with his frankness and clumsiness. Because of the * * * Song in the depths of the soul, these two seemingly different people live in harmony. Olivier is weak in both appearance and heart, coupled with physical weakness, which gives people who love him reasons to take care of him, and his inner warmth is therefore poured into the object. I can't measure these noble souls with secular mediocrity, but they are just shaking my heart that is gradually numb by life with wholehearted love. How desirable this friendship is. They have different personalities, one is cowardly and the other is violent, but they can complement each other naturally and get close to each other. They treat each other selflessly, wholeheartedly and sincerely. They become a part of each other, making each other's lives more perfect.
The writer Zweig once wrote that Olivier is the essence of French culture and John Christophe is the representative of German power. The wise are promoted by the strong, and the strong are purified by the wise. This mutual joy is a symbol of the two peoples. Together, they built a highest ideal, linked the two wings of the West, and let the European spirit soar freely in the bloody past.
Christophe's nature doomed his relationship with all kinds of people. And these relationships have become rich, sad and moving because of Christopher's tears. In that era when darkness enveloped the whole sky, John with such excellent quality? Christophe's appearance is like a mirror, reflecting the dark side of each of us more or less. His sincerity has reached the point of frankness and purity, showing the beauty of morality and the power of civilization.
Sincerity is valuable, but what is more valuable is the courage and courage to defend sincerity, not afraid of power and violence. John? Christophe did it. He was ostracized and in trouble, but he never gave up his ideal pursuit. Only like John? Christophe, such an impassioned figure, has great willpower and lofty goals, can withstand the numerous difficulties he has encountered, and can resist all despicable opportunism that permeates every cell of social institutions. Only an irresistible desire to create, a sound and energetic motivation to affirm life, can support John? Christophe enabled him to overcome adversity.
