Marx and Engels once said: "The bourgeoisie has torn off the veil of tenderness hanging over family relations and turned this relationship into a pure money relationship. It makes people have nothing to do except naked interests and ruthless cash transactions. "
After reading Mo Bosang's My Uncle Yule, I deeply realized this sentence of Marx and Engels.
The story tells that "I" was born in a poor family, and my parents' salary was very meager. There are two sisters at home. Uncle Yu Le went to other places to do business in order to reduce the family burden. Besides, I heard that he also made a fortune. Therefore, we are anxiously waiting for him to come back to lighten the burden. But he waited for a long time and didn't come back. As time went on, our life improved and we went out to travel. Unexpectedly, I met my long-lost uncle unexpectedly. At this time, he turned out to be an old sailor, wearing dirty clothes and selling oysters. My parents were afraid that he would give us trouble, so they took us away and lost contact with my uncle.
Actually, the content is easy to understand, but it makes people think. Do you put the importance of money in the first place and ignore family ties? In this article, the hero's parents miss his uncle very much when they learn that he is rich, but when they learn that he is penniless and poor, they have another attitude-they think he is troublesome. One is the temptation of money, and the other is the warmth of family. In this important choice, the hero's parents chose the former. Although their lives have improved, they have lost the most precious thing in the world. I can't help but think of a famous saying: "Money can make all kinds of unbearable people, and it can also force people who are not in harmony to kiss each other."
After seeing what happened to my poor uncle Yule, we felt sympathy, but at the same time we felt sad. Because, perhaps, soon, in this world, money really rules people, but family ties are left out.
I don't think everyone wants the world to become indifferent in the near future.
