Beethoven, as the greatest composer in the history of world music, is known as the "Music Saint". It is not an exaggeration. People admire Beethoven, not only because his short life left mankind with extremely rich musical wealth, but also because his extraordinary character of perseverance and courage to contend with fate gave us very precious treasures. spiritual wealth.

Beethoven's fate was extremely bumpy, and it can even be said that "from the beginning, life was just a tragic and cruel war for him." When he was a child, his father deprived him of the joyful childhood he could have enjoyed, and he studied the violin hard under the pressure of severe corporal punishment. However, pain seems to be knocking at the door all the time. When he was deafened at the age of 30 and tortured mercilessly, this was undoubtedly a thunderbolt deep in Beethoven's heart, causing wounds that were difficult to heal and a heavy blow. In despair, he almost He sought suicide several times. So, he wailed miserably from the depths of his heart: "I avoid all social interactions. I can't say to others, 'I'm deaf'! It would be fine if I were doing other professions, but in my line of work, this is a terrible experience." ."

But at the same time, he made another firm and powerful voice: "I will hold the throat of fate, and it will never make me surrender completely!" How can this unyielding vow of unyielding be possible? Isn’t it amazing, uplifting, and eulogizing? What is the power that saves this heart that is on the verge of destruction? Let Beethoven answer it himself: "What supported me in adversity was morality. What kept me from committing suicide was morality besides art!" It can be seen that Beethoven endured physical and mental torture and was completely out of his mind. In the persistent pursuit of one's sacred mission. He regards the pursuit of music and dedication to mankind as a soul more valuable than life. This is a kind of power, an inexhaustible driving force to resist life, a fountain of life that never dries up!

Beethoven’s ear disease and the large number of musical works he composed may still be a mystery in the eyes of many people. The most unbelievable thing is, how did a deaf man create such a majestic "Eroic Symphony"? How can we compose the bold and magnificent "Symphony of Destiny"? How do you play the soft and clear "Moonlight Song" like a myth? Looking through his large number of musical works, I was even more surprised that most of his musical masterpieces were completed by biting a wooden rod to feel the notes after suffering from ear disease. Where did Beethoven get such extraordinary inspiration, such rich emotions and passionate character? This series of questions has been tumbling in my mind for a long time, which is very exciting, and reminds me of Orison Madden's famous saying: "Looking at the great and outstanding figures in human history, most of them have been He had a difficult childhood and was even abused by fate, but the strong are always good at finding the fulcrum of life, adjusting their mentality in time, enduring hardships, and using persistent efforts to break through the siege and create excellence and greatness. ”

At 5:40 pm on March 26, 1827, in a violent storm, Beethoven ended his 57-year life journey and died alone. He died with his fists clenched, perhaps at the last moment, he still wanted to hold the throat of fate.

Let Beethoven’s noble character, virtue of kindness, sublimation of soul, and rare value of life last forever! Let Beethoven's spirit always inspire us to bravely climb the peak of knowledge and create a brilliant life!
