The Smile of History

The fireworks of history cannot seal your smile, whether you are tired, frivolous or contented. And when you go far away, those smiles will always overlook us, becoming the most tragic and moving symphony.

(1) About Forgetting

He is a Sanlv doctor who "walks straight on the right path and devotes all his loyalty and wisdom", a pathfinder who "searches from top to bottom", and a "spirited chanter" The end of the road "Zepan" is the lingering soul of the Miluo River.

When King Huai’s overwhelming voice lingers in Yingdu, when Zheng Xiu’s clever tricks leave you unable to parry, when Zhang Yi’s eloquent words make you exhausted, a voice whispers to you: " Forget it and go back! "Hu Bugui?" Since the journey is not far away, why not get back on the road?

However, you finally chose to remember, remember the pain, remember the evil, remember the loyalty, and remember the death. You, the one who always burst into tears in the sensual entertainment of King Huai, cannot learn to go with the crowd, but you cannot learn to forget either. In your tired smile, I engraved two words in my heart - forget.

(2) About remembering

It is the mad birth of King Teng in the high pavilion, the young man with "sons and daughters together", the prisoner under the shackles, and the echoes floating in the sea. A wanderer without a home.

You should not be so frivolous, relying on your talent and arrogance to think that you can calmly move around in the whirlpool of politics. You are so talented and intoxicated with the reputation of the "Four Elites" that you cannot extricate yourself. As a result, you finally fulfilled Pei Xingjian's saying that "a good person will be lucky to die" and became a much-loved poet in the Chinese literary world.

You should have learned to remember, remember your poems, remember your ignorance, remember your immaturity, and remember how to survive alone. However, you finally chose to forget and indulge yourself to become a genius who predicts death. In your arrogant smile, I will engrave two words in my heart - remember.

(3) The clouds are in the green mountains and the moon is in the sky

He is the hero of "the great river eastward is swept away by the waves", the poor man who was devastated by the Wutai Poetry Case, and the bamboo stick and mango shoes The traveler is a wise man who is able to forget and remember with ease.

Forget the turbidity of the world, you remember the misty rain and the bright moon and the clear wind; forget the frustration in your official career, you remember the leisure in Huangcheng and fly into the snow; forget the hardship and persistence, you remember Live an optimistic and broad-minded life and live a good life. In your complacent smile, my eyes lit up and I carved two words in my heart - choice.

So what if I forget or remember? Only by knowing how to choose can I enjoy the greatest joy that life brings me.

I walked through it, read it, and touched it. The wrinkles between your foreheads have become the ruts of history, but the smiles between your eyebrows are still clearly discernible. Qu Zi, Zian, Dongpo, or their tired, frivolous, or contented smiles revealed to me about forgetting and remembering. Secret.

Remember the history

That night, the long-awaited drizzle fell in the sky, and with the thunder, I looked at the ugly sky by the window...

< p> A classmate sent me a message telling me that there would be a different kind of drizzle on these days every year. I asked him why, and the results he gave me shocked me, even though I am a child who is not easy to express emotions on my face. He told me that seventy years ago in Nanjing, the Japanese army massacred the Nanjing people. The rain is their tears, the thunder is their howl, and the dark clouds around the darkness are their souls that do not want to disperse. Although it is unbelievable and even a little ridiculous, I am still willing to listen to what he said in detail.

Yes, December of 1937 was a dark December, a really cold December, and a December that broke our hearts. The Japanese army massacred more than 300,000 people in Nanjing in six weeks, and on average, one light of life was extinguished every 12 seconds. This unchangeable past certainly affects our hearts. It was a historical tragedy against human civilization. The Japanese at that time violated human nature. From a certain point of view, the Japanese will never be respected by the people of Nanjing, even though China has been a country of etiquette for five thousand years. They won the war "happily" but completely lost morally, completely. This smoke has been going on for a long time, and we still feel horrified to this day. This is our sorrow and the eternal pain in our hearts.

By chance, I saw a documentary on TV, a documentary about the Nanjing Massacre. "Naked" images and disgusting data swam before my eyes. It was a scene that made people extremely sad and angry. Is the real devastation of life really the historical trend of human development? I am not from Nanjing, but I think anyone who has a Chinese heart or a little conscience will find it difficult to control the venting of their inner emotions when they see that scene, whether it is sadness or anger.

Suddenly I thought of the Nanjing Memorial Hall sending my wishes and prayers to the paper boats without reservation, so that they could carry the small lit candles and flow with the clear water to the beautiful and harmonious hearts of the ancestors and present people. I hope I will never pass through that dark and cold time on the way again. I am suddenly glad that I am a child born in a peaceful era. I am glad that I can still see my dear family when I wake up every day. What could be more tragic than losing one's life for no reason?

However, I was deeply moved by the people of Nanjing.

At the end of the documentary, the director gave a close-up of the Nanjing Memorial Hall, where the word "peace" was clearly engraved on the stone tablet. Seeing this, my tears fell suddenly. The word peace only takes twelve strokes. What a simple word. But it is precisely because of these two words that many people have given up everything, even their lives, to pursue it. How much courage must they have to explain that this is not just China's harmony but difference. "The Nanjing Massacre - it can be forgiven, but it cannot be forgotten." This is what the people of Nanjing have told the world over the past seventy years, and what China has told the world.

In fact, everyone is a victim of war. The loss of humanity and the helplessness of life are ultimately the cruelty and bleakness of war. Even our generation will be deeply hurt by the wars of the past. No one likes war. War is just a visitor of power and hegemony. Just like Feng Xiaogang said in an interview for the film "Assembly" he personally directed, "The reason why American war movies are so popular among people is because the soldiers in American war movies have a strong attitude toward war. The panic and disgust are the true nature of human beings. No one will feel excited or happy because of the coming of war. That is a kind of hypocrisy, a different kind of hypocrisy. "China is tired, the world is tired, and we have long been disgusted." There can be no more wars in this world. Everyone has their right to live.

"Peace and development", the contemporary theme of the world, is suggesting to us that we need to let go of hatred, but we must not forget the historical facts.

Keeping history in mind and awakening the world to cherish life is what true harmony requires of us. Building a harmonious society requires our own efforts...
