Reflections after reading "The Wizard of Oz"
I recently read the book "The Wizard of Oz" and benefited a lot.
"The Wizard of Oz" is a long fairy tale. The author of this book is American Frank Baum. The protagonist in the story is a little girl named Dorothy. She holds a puppy and lives with her uncle Henry and sister-in-law Em in the middle of the Kansas prairie. Because of a tornado, she and her puppy were swept into a strange world. They went to find an immortal to help them return home. On the way, she met the "Brainless Scarecrow", "Heartless Tin Man" and "Courageless Lion". They became friends and went to find the immortal with Dorothy. There were many strange things on the way. Finally, the Scarecrow became the leader of the Emerald City, the Tin Woodman became the leader of the Winkies, the Lion became the king of an ancient forest, and Dorothy and her puppy returned home.
Friends are very precious. Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and the Lion became friends from strangers, and then worked together to overcome difficulties and help each other, and finally realized their wishes. If Dorothy had arrived in that strange world and not met the Scarecrow and the others, perhaps she would never have been able to return to the Kansas prairie, or to Uncle Henry and Sister-in-law Em. Staying in that strange world, Dorothy could not live a good life. She was either a slave or a wandering life.
Friends are important. When you encounter difficulties, you need the help of friends; when you encounter difficulties, friends will help you, then you can solve the difficulties well. Friends are very important, and you have to cherish them: everyone should help each other, build friendships, love each other, be united, and not quarrel over trivial things, which destroys the friendship between friends.
Friends are very precious and important. We must cherish them and let the flowers of friendship bloom forever.

- Childhood
Everyone has experienced childhood. Childhood is wonderful, childhood is happy, childhood is happy, childhood is worth recalling... But Gorky's childhood was so terrifying and miserable that people dare not recall it.
Poor Gorky lost his father at the age of 3 and lost his kind father's love. He followed his mother and grandmother to a small dyeing workshop owned by his grandfather. From then on, a dark life came to Gorky. My grandfather had a very bad temper and often beat his grandmother and Gorky, which cast a shadow on Gorky's young mind.
Later, Gorky met his close friend Xiao Gzigan. The two talked about everything and formed a deep friendship. However, the good times did not last long, and poor little Gypsy was killed by two vicious uncles. Gorky lost his friend in this way. Yakov and Mikhail are devils. They beat their wives and argue every day to divide the family property. There is no unity between the brothers. Their two sons, Sasha, have also been taught bad things and tease Gorky everywhere. After that, Gorky met the carpenter "Good Things" and became good friends. As a result, Gorky was driven away by his grandfather, and Gorky got a stepfather who was very fierce and often beat people. A few years later, his grandmother who loved him most died, and his mother also died, so he was kicked out by his grandfather and made a living by picking up garbage.
The grandfather Kashlin of this "family of idiots" is grumpy, surly, greedy, and selfish; his two uncles Mikhail and Yakov are also rough, selfish philistines, and even their children are with them. Enthusiastically participated in one. Only his kind, kind, and affectionate grandmother gave him the slightest comfort living in this environment.
I like the grandmother in the article. She seems to have a special affinity and she has endless stories to tell. And she loves her children so much. Even for the two big villains, Mikhail and Yakov, she did not ask her grandfather to punish them severely. How could a kind person like to have a war at home? Faced with her grandfather's merciless beatings and scoldings, she endured them again and again.
Apart from some education and friendship, Gorky’s childhood was nothing worth remembering! In joy, in sorrow, in the intertwining of love and hate, his childhood passed by in such a hurry. In reading, I discovered his love, pondered his hate, and tasted the light in the darkness.
We now have enough food and clothing, we have everything we want, and we are the "pearl in the eye" and "darling" of our parents. How can it be compared with Gorky's miserable childhood? The difference between the ages is this difference, one is paradise, the other is There are hells; one full of sunshine and one full of darkness. Our current childhood is hard-won!

——Picked Up Morning Flowers at Dusk
Wandering aimlessly among the bookshelves in the library, I accidentally found this book The old book is hidden among many thick famous works. Its thin figure is indeed difficult to notice. When I saw the name of the book, I immediately thought of the shadow of a little girl who seemed to have appeared on TV. She had short hair and was sitting silently and quietly in a rickshaw. Oh, yes, there has been an adaptation of this novel. The movie, however, I have never seen. Then this is it, to make up for the regret of missing the movie.
The author Lin Haiyin was born in Japan in 1919. He later returned to China with his parents. He lived in Beijing during his childhood. After his father passed away, his family went to Taiwan. The book records what the author saw and heard in the old Beijing hutongs during his childhood. From a child's perspective, he examines this strange society, which makes people pity the child's innocence in his heart, but cannot bear to disturb her beautiful childhood dreams. .
Look at the thoughts of this curious and naughty girl. She is the same person and the same thing, but she has completely different ideas and problems from adults. The daughter next door, Xiuzhen, who seemed to others to be insane, went crazy because of being abandoned. In Yingzi's view, she was so pitiful and worthy of sympathy. Her beloved left for the south, and her own flesh and blood were abandoned as soon as they landed. Touched by Xiuzhen's obsession with her own flesh and blood, she felt that the poor singing girl was the baby Xiuzhen had abandoned. Others thought that the thief was very hateful and hateful. What she saw in her eyes was that he was a thief who was forced to do something to provide for his younger brother who was in school. She gave that thief the only sympathy he got. The concubine who escaped from the feudal family and hid in her house, whom others despised, looked beautiful to her, but she was sour that she didn't want her concubine to have much contact with her father...
Yingzi can't understand many old things, and would rather believe in her own feelings. Her curiosity, her imagination, her innocence are touching, like a crystal clear dewdrop in the palm of our hand. Although it will break sooner or later, we want to try our best to protect it. Closing my eyes, I had a lot of innocence, a lot of tenderness, and a lot of curiosity in my distant childhood. With the passage of time, my innocence became tainted with the world, maturity replaced tenderness, and calmness drove away curiosity... ..
No matter what, childhood is always the most carefree memory. I have had it, and I am willing to let my son have a beautiful, happy, innocent and brilliant childhood memory
Reading Notes
——Wandering
I remember reading some Lu Xun’s novels when I was a child. Maybe I was too young to understand them. In recent days, I re-read "Wandering", and I was deeply aware of Mr.'s deep and indignant complex mood, which was like a dagger throwing a spear, sonorous, powerful and impactful.
"Wandering" includes "Blessing", "At the Restaurant", "Soap" in 1924 and "The Lonely", "Sorrow", "Divorce" in 1925, etc., ***11 articles . Although "Wandering" reflects Lu Xun's ideological depression in the mid-1920s and pays more attention to the pain and struggle of intellectuals, it also shows his valuable spirit of constantly exploring the truth and finding a way out.
Compared with "The Scream", "Wandering" reveals more of the author's melancholy and hesitant mood at that time, but its analysis and criticism of society are equally sober and profound. The rural-themed works in "Wandering" all show the fate of rural women. The tragic fate of Sister Xianglin in "Blessing" is another powerful accusation against the "cannibalism" of feudal ethics. "Divorce" is Mr. Lu Xun's last novel based on real life. It profoundly shows the reality of the countryside after the Revolution of 1911 and shows that the fate of rural women has not changed. "Wandering" is full of concern for the peasant intellectuals living under the heavy pressure of feudal forces who "sorrow for their misfortune" and "are angry for their inability to fight". The two articles that touched the depths of my soul the most were "Blessings" and "Sadness".
"Blessing" is a famous chapter in "Wandering", in which there is a well-known character - Sister Xianglin. As a Chinese working woman who was insulted, persecuted, exploited and enslaved, she is very typical. Her tragedy is a social tragedy. Her life experiences, ideological trajectory and distorted character fully exposed the old society's attitude towards Working women are severely oppressed, especially mentally disabled. "Blessing" focuses on farmers, profoundly displays the social reality of rural China and the current situation of farmers at the beginning of the 20th century, and exposes the brutal nature of feudal ethics and moral concepts. The tragic fate of Mrs. Xianglin shows that in this society there is no blessing for the poor and no blessing at all. It also shows the cruelty and callousness of this society. All this reflects Mr.'s strong dissatisfaction, disgust and even anger towards this momentum and society.
"Sorrowful Death" is Mr.'s only love story. It is really everyone’s handiwork, and there are many shining lights of truth. "People must live before love can be attached." Life is the first element. People must first be able to live well before they can express love. Having love does not mean having milk and bread. An important factor in the breakdown of Zijun and Juansheng's love is the pressure of real life. Fortunately, girls today are happier than Zijun because they are financially independent. So, girl, when you face a choice between love and career, remember that love without a career is like a rootless root and will probably drift out of your sight. Only when there is a foundation can there be love. This is the most basic truth.
"Wandering" is Mr. Wang's witness to the "differentiation" of the "generals" of the "New Culture Movement". On the one hand, it reveals the compromising nature, and on the other hand, it is "changing". The power of society needs someone to lead it. ! But what about the young intellectuals who were awakened by the "New Culture Movement"? ——Under such questioning, "Wandering" was produced. In this aspect, it mainly expresses those souls who wake up from the darkness, full of injustice and resentment, but their minds are empty, feeding their souls with injustice and complaints all day long, but at the same time they shoulder the burden, prejudice, and ignorance of the old era. , stubbornness, nihilistic thinking, adventurism, short-sightedness, cowardice - such people.
There are many characters in "Wandering" who are passionate about the light, but these characters also have many flaws. They dream of "disappearing" in the deep mountains, swamps and jungles. Modern people cannot be without flaws, because modern people are the descendants of previous generations, and they are the descendants of people who have been oppressed for a long time. They are also surrounded by unreasonable social systems, and are surrounded by all kinds of prejudices and ignorance. However, Mr. Xiang does not think that this kind of defect is "fate" and has always been like this forever. Precisely because he does not believe that it will always be like this, he must ruthlessly expose the reasons and roots of these defects, and also Precisely because he didn't believe it, he wrote about his desire through "nothing", and the sentence in "Li Sao" - "The road is long and long, I will search up and down," is the hint of his desire.
Reading "Wandering", I felt waves of pain, pain for the miserable current situation at that time, pain for the numb people at that time, but in this pain, I also felt for Mr. Such sober people feel the slightest comfort.
Every era needs such brave men with "iron shoulders to bear moral responsibility", who are at the forefront of independence and shout with arms. Only in this way can the era have hope and the wheel of history can move forward!
Reading Notes
——Brother
There is a famous saying: Great books are great because they reveal the darkness of reality to people. It also gave people hope. In "Brother's Life", I can't see hope at all. The brother's betrayal, the woman's betrayal, and the indulgence of desire are all darkness, but darkness. I really don't like this feeling. If "Alive" is used as a contrast to cruel reality, If people's strength and resilience can give people courage, "Brothers" only tells the cruel reality without giving people any hope.
Only when I saw the last letter written by Song Gang, when I read: Even if the world is turned upside down, we are still brothers, I still felt a little bit. I felt that maybe Yu Hua wanted to use the cruel reality to reflect the true disobedience. The brotherhood that changes in time and space, how should I put it, is a very abstract feeling. Anyway, it means that although the brother hurt him, they are still brothers. But maybe this is also a kind of irony, that is, there is nothing in this world. It is unchangeable. Whether you like it or not, reality is reality after all. Things that have deteriorated cannot be changed back. But I hope it is the former one. I am willing to believe it, so that I will feel better. I think Yu Hua has always been iron-blooded. He likes to use cruel reality to contrast the immutability of true feelings.

- Blessings
The cool night wind moved through the night sky of the city like a ghost, making no sound, but it woke me up from my deep sleep. dream. The confused and confused heart still hides yesterday’s melancholy and sadness. It's lump after lump, it keeps cutting, and it's still messy.
After reading "Blessing" by Mr. Lu Xun, I felt an indescribable feeling of depression. At an age where I am prone to sentimentality, I often can’t help but cry myself while reading other people’s stories. This time, I was so depressed that I couldn't shed tears.
It’s just that I suddenly want to open the window to breathe easier.
Sister-in-law Xianglin, the embodiment of tragedy, experienced all the pain in the world, and finally left us with a heart full of humiliation and hurt. Why is it said "end"? Her death was inevitable by chance. Even if she has no desire to die, even if she still has the will to survive, she will still be killed by the ruthless, dark hand of society. I don't know the reason why Mrs. Xianglin died in the end. I can only speculate that she probably didn't forget to smile the last moment she closed her eyes. Sister-in-law Xianglin suffered a lot in life, experienced ridicule, and walked with difficulty amidst the cold-blooded smiles of feudal ethics. At this time, death was no longer a fear to her. In the pain of reality, death was more like a relief to her. When she died, I think she saw Angel's beautiful smile. When the wasted years blew the white frost on her temples into her hair, I think she saw the light of liberation...
Time flies, and now it is no longer the feudal society where "men are superior to women" Dark society. Under today's socialism that advocates "equality for all" and "democracy and self-reliance", there are still "hidden" "Xiang Lin's Sisters" with different concepts.
In today’s era of “family planning”, most of us are only children. All of them are loved by three thousand people, and their parents all hold them in their hands for fear of falling off, and hold them in their mouths for fear of melting. However, we who grew up in a sugar bowl have a lot of sadness. It is undeniable that every child longs to be cared for, but in the process of being cared for, he enjoys and is afraid at the same time. The more we get, the more afraid we become. We are afraid that we are not good enough, that we cannot give or do what our parents expect. We understand the mood of parents who "hope for their sons to become dragons and their daughters to become phoenixes". We really do understand. Of course we are working hard, trying harder, trying not to see the disappointed expressions of our parents. Yes, the ups and downs of the scenery. In today's highly competitive society, "ups and downs" can be seen everywhere.
When someone floats, someone will sink; when someone is laughing, someone will cry. We may not really be afraid of failure, we are just afraid of losing. Losing the encouraging smiles of parents and losing the confidence to get up. Care, expectations, studies, exams, further studies... too many, oppressing us. We are all under pressure from exam-oriented education. It binds us, just like the feudal ethics that bind Xianglin's wife, making us unable to help ourselves and making us aware of the cruelty of competition - if you don't step on others, you will be stepped on. But at the same time, we are also supporting the examination system, thinking that it is the fairest way now, and studying every day. Darwin was right – “survival of the fittest”. We are all trying our best to adapt ourselves to a life full of pressure, adapt to cruel competition, and adapt to make ourselves stronger and stronger.
Here, our sorrow has no tears.
Reading Notes
- Plucked in the Morning
"Plucked in the Morning" is the story of Lu Xun's life when he was oppressed by the government and excluded by "scholars". Memories written after the war. It is really not easy for the author to find some leisure in such turmoil. The current situation is so bizarre and his heart is so confused. When a person has only memories left, life may finally be boring, but sometimes there are no memories at all.
Memories of the past are just a little comfort from real life, and every beautiful memory has a tragic ending: the Baicao Garden and the embroidered portrait replicas were sold, and the eldest mother also hurriedly passed away. Behind the "Twenty-Four Pictures of Filial Piety" that is supposed to inspire people's love, there is hidden the ugly intention of seeking human life and teaching people to look at it. I went to study abroad and met a teacher who I admired, but I left because I felt that healing people's spirit is more important than healing physical illnesses. I worked and taught at the school, and I couldn't get rid of my old friend Fan Ainong, who was really hard-working and capable. The fate of dying in poverty and drowning.
In the narration of this series of bittersweet events, the author also traces some of his own ideological roots, such as the hatred of cats, Xiao Xiao, and the disappearance of the hidden mouse that brought the author's reverie. Symbolic idea: When I lose the one I love and there is an emptiness in my heart, I want to fill it with evil thoughts of revenge! This is the author's motive for hating cats: it is taking away people's love. Judging from the life experience of Mr. Lu Xun: Hatred of evil is just a natural reaction to the lack of love, the loss of love, and the regret of love.
The author made a sad joke to himself about this detail: his hatred of cats is unreasonable. Although cats eat mice, his hidden mice are not eaten by cats, but by cats. He was trampled to death by his eldest mother, so should he hate his eldest mother? In the next section of memories, the eldest mother is indeed a bit annoying. She takes up the whole bed when sleeping, full of poor rules and ignorant beliefs. She is such an eldest mother, but she thinks about what the author thinks about day and night, and everyone else thinks about it. The longing that could not be taken seriously became a reality. The eldest mother, who did not know how to read or write, bought "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", which she did not even know, and gave it to "me". It is precisely because of the eldest mother's love that has not been wiped out by the old morality that the author remembers her and misses her.
In his memories of picking up flowers in the morning and evening, the author wrote many times about the failure and narrow-mindedness of feudal education.
When I was a child, my eldest mother’s story said: “If a strange voice calls your name, you must not answer it, lest it is a beautiful snake that kills people. Be wary of strangers and make assumptions. He is the logic of the bad guy.
In the morning and evening, I went back to "my" childhood with the author, and relived those people and things while studying in Japan. process, recalling the lost old friends together. Following this clue, I saw each life scene with "me" as the center, the psychological process of the characters, and read each ending with profound meaning and endless aftertaste. sentence, my heart also ebbs and flows with the author
1. The desolation of ignorance
Xia Yu in "Medicine" creates an era of equality and freedom in order to liberate the people. He ran and shouted for a new life, even sacrificing his own life for the people. However, the people responded with indifference and discrimination, and his blood became the medicine for treating diseases.
Even his mother couldn't understand him and was ashamed of his behavior. The heroic sacrifice of the revolutionaries has become a good material for appreciation by the ignorant and indifferent people.
The novel "Hometown" reveals the hard and suffering life of people in the old society and the changes in life in the hometown over the past twenty years. The original innocent and romantic Runtu and the lovely and beautiful Tofu Xishi became poor and tacky
In the novel, there are a group of ignorant, insensitive, and insensitive people like Hua Laoshuan and Runtu who do not understand democracy, freedom and science at all. The author makes bitter satire and strong criticism on the country people who blindly follow the trend.
2. The Sorrow of Intellectuals
Kong Yiji was poisoned by the feudal education of "eight-legged writing" throughout his life. His pedantry, his strong self-esteem, and his "excellent attitude" are completely the image of an old-style intellectual. Kong Yiji eventually became a thief because he could not support himself. In the end, his leg was broken by Ding Juren, and he quietly left the stage of life amidst people's laughter.
In "Wandering", the author created an image of Master Gao. He only knows how to advertise himself as a defender and follower of the feudal system. What he represents is the old ideas and pseudo-academics that hinder social progress. His fate can only be the same as that of the feudal system, being toppled in the torrent of revolution. , was eliminated.
The fate of intellectuals in Mr. Lu Xun's works reflects the fate of intellectuals throughout the era. Most of them are poor and have a rough life. They are in the midst of great changes in the development of the times and the progress of the system. Some have been harmed by feudal ideas and have become freaks; some have been influenced by various ideas and are in inner contradictions and struggles. They survive stubbornly in the cracks, find themselves in the turmoil, and pursue light in the darkness. And the sad ending is inevitable.
3. Brightness and Hope
"The Scream" and "Wandering" are sister novels written by Lu Xun. Just like the titles of these two collections of novels, the biggest difference between them lies in the author's psychology when writing. In "Wandering", the author describes many sick fetuses in feudal society, but what the author reveals between the lines is hesitation and confusion. In "Blessing", there is a line of "I" saying: "That is,...actually, I say no "Qing..." "I" cannot solve the problem of Xianglin's wife. In fact, the author himself cannot tell where China will go. "The Scream" also contains many words that criticize feudalism and reality. These criticisms are even more profound and intense than those in "Wandering", but we can also see the color of hope: some people have awakened, and the Chinese revolution has a bright future. "Diary of a Madman" fired the first shot of the New Culture Movement. It was the first article written in vernacular. In "A Little Thing", we see the beauty of human nature. At the end of "Medicine", there is a circle of red and white flowers on Xia Yu's grave, which seems to symbolize that the future of the Chinese revolution is bright.
Lu Xun wrote these articles with the mood of "sad for his misfortune and angry for his inability to fight", and also placed his good expectations for the Chinese revolution. Reading this book, we seem to hear Mr. Lu Xun’s shouts for democracy, science and freedom.
Times are developing and society is progressing. The society we live in now is completely different from that of Lu Xun at that time, but we must learn from his thinking, his patriotism, and his struggle. We cannot walk on our knees, but must be a capital. people!
After reading "Hamlet"
Shakespeare's "Hamlet" is a classic masterpiece. The superficial plot of this book is not much different from the historical legend. It is also a story about a Danish prince avenging his father, which is full of bloody violence and death. As the character Horatio said in the play: You can hear rape and murder, abnormal repairs, and the secret... The verdict, the accidental killing, the conspiracy to kill someone, and the ending of self-harm. The twists and turns of the plot closely revolve around revenge
. Hamlet hurried back to the country from Wittenberg, Germany, He came to attend his father's funeral. What he couldn't accept was that he did not catch up with his father's funeral, but witnessed the wedding of his mother and uncle Claudius. This has made Hamlet suspicious. In addition, in the palace at night He met the ghost of his father on the terrace of the castle. The ghost complained that this atrocity was committed by Hamlet's uncle and asked him to avenge his father. At this point, he began a difficult journey of revenge and started a life-and-death fight with Claudius. The contest. In the end, the sword of revenge was issued to Claudius.
After reading "The Count of Monte Cristo"
Love is also thorough, hatred is also thorough. Repayment of gratitude is also thorough, revenge is also Thoroughly. This is my biggest feeling after reading "The Revenge of Monte Cristo". There is a Chinese saying that a gentleman takes revenge. It is never too late in ten years. Revenge also requires recharging one's energy and energy, and it cannot be done based on one's temporary mood. Those who act rashly. The Count of Monte Cristo is the most concrete example of this saying with his own actions. After fourteen years of living in the dungeon, the essence of his life is to find his former relatives, former benefactors and former benefactors. After the enemy confirmed the person he was looking for, he did not hold his fist and fight through fire and water for his benefactor as we have seen in martial arts novels. He would not hesitate to stab his enemy to death with a sword. He chose his own way. He did his best to support the shipowner's family who had been kind to him, silently supporting him in various ways, but never letting them know that he was actually here just to repay his kindness. If his repayment of kindness is said to be surprising, Touched, his revenge is so vivid that we can’t help but be a little frightened after we applauded it several times.
After reading "The Interpretation of Dreams"
Freud (1856 --l939) is a famous Austrian psychiatrist and the founder of the psychoanalytic school. His works span half a century and have had a profound impact on literature, philosophy, theology, ethics, aesthetics, political science, sociology and popular psychology. Extensive and profound influence, if the scope of influence is used as a measure of greatness, then Freud is undoubtedly the greatest psychologist. Freud launched another Copernican revolution in the history of human thought. He pointed out The human unconscious cannot be controlled by consciousness. The human subconscious contains huge psychological content. He told the irrationality of human beings in the most rational voice. "The Interpretation of Dreams" is Freud's pillar academic work. By The study of dreams has greatly expanded the scope of human beings' exploration of themselves, and has had a profound impact on our lives.
After reading "Red and Black"
The author's works show , first of all, it is a typical window of the entire French society-the political structure of the small city of Verrières. The mayor of Drina, who was born in the aristocracy, is the highest representative of the restoration dynasty here. He will maintain the restoration regime and prevent the bourgeoisie from Liberals regard gaining political power as their bounden duty. The director of the poor asylum, Valnot, was originally a small bourgeois. He got his current job because he joined the Holy Synod, a secret organization of the Catholic Church, thus tying himself to the restoration regime. Fr. Maslon is a spy sent by the church, and everyone's words and deeds are under his surveillance. In this era when the throne and the altar support each other, he is a popular person. The triumvirate formed by these three people reflects the restoration forces. In the city of Verrières, they are monopolizing power. Their opponents are a large number of aggressive bourgeois liberals with huge economic power. On the one hand, Stendhal describes to people
It describes the tyranny of the royalists. On the one hand, it also makes people draw the conclusion that the bourgeoisie with economic strength will also be the final winner politically. "Red and Black" was written in 183 Before the July Revolution of 2000, Stendhal seemed to have an insight into this inevitable trend of historical movements.
After reading Dream of the Red Mansions
. "Don't forget the psychic jade", the passionate and unrestrained Jia Baoyu and the delicate and sickly Lin Daiyu created a touching love tragedy that happened in a feudal family in the Qing Dynasty.
The author Cao Xueqin revealed the darkness of the feudal society at that time through "A Dream of Red Mansions", and also expressed his dissatisfaction and anger. The story tells that Lin Daiyu, who was frail and sick since childhood, came to Rongguo Mansion and gradually fell in love with Jia Zhengzhi, the son of Jia Zhengzhi who was born with spiritual jade but had a naughty personality. Sister Feng used a trick to make Jia Baoyu marry a man with a gold medal. Xue Baochai made Lin Daiyu vomit blood and died. From then on, Jia Baoyu became disheartened, saw through the world of mortals, and escaped into Buddhism.
I really feel sad for Lin Daiyu, and even more sorry for their tragic fate. But there is nothing wrong with the characters themselves, but it is the traditional feudal concept that makes people hate them. This kind of thinking is really harmful to people whether it is their parents who have the final say in matters of marriage or whether they are well-matched. No, this is why Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu have to endure the unimaginable pain of separation between yin and yang. Let Jia Baoyu be deceived like this. Alas, even stone-hearted people will be moved by their true love.
A "Dream of Red Mansions" made many people cry and moved them!
Reading Notes
——Wandering
I remember that when I was a child, I read some novels by Lu Xun. Maybe I was too young to understand them. In recent days, I have re-read "Wandering", which made me deeply feel Mr.'s deep and indignant complex mood, which is like a dagger throwing a spear, sonorous, powerful, and resounding.
"Wandering" includes "Blessing", "At the Restaurant", "Soap" in 1924 and "The Lonely", "Sorrow", "Divorce" in 1925, etc., ***11 articles .
