Let’s put these aside for now and let’s talk about what kind of education we have received. From childhood to adulthood, we have grown up under the education of fearless heroism and collectivism that puts the interests of the country and the people above all else. These educations Of course it is important, but where is our humanistic education, where is our education on respecting individual lives and rights, and where is our education on sincere communication between people? Why is today's society so impetuous and lacking in integrity? The main culprit is education. Deng Xiaoping once said that the biggest mistake since the reform and opening up was education. The lack of humanization and seeking truth from facts in education is the tragedy of our era and nation. A society that lacks humanistic care is a society without hope, because such a society will only cultivate people who are hypocritical, treacherous, and lose ethics and morals. Now, we still haven’t seen much reform in the education system. Exam-oriented education is still popular, and quality-oriented education is still just a fantasy. Think about it, it’s already the 21st century, how long will it take for us to really turn things around? The current helplessness! Reform is difficult, otherwise there would not have been earthquake-like noises every time there was reform in history, and most of the reforms in history ended in failure. However, today, when China has entered a highly civilized society, if China If this is the case, I have to say it is a kind of sadness. I think it may be difficult or even impossible to reform the political system, but why is it the same for the reform of the education system? Are they really complementary to each other? These issues are really unknown to me, but I think what we can do now is to recommend Lu Yao’s "The Ordinary World" to the majority of teenagers. I think many of the issues mentioned above can be covered in this book. The answer is found in the book (not an answer in terms of institutional reform, of course, but an education-oriented question). I wonder if anyone agrees with me, please share your views!
Perception of the Ordinary
——Reflections after reading "The Ordinary World"
Ordinaryness is the true nature of life. Each of us is very small, fragile and insignificant to this vast world. This world is also ordinary. Sorrow and joy, life and death, poverty and wealth, and changes in world affairs are nothing more than ordinary things in the long course of history. I have always thought this way about the ordinary. It wasn't until I read a book - "The Ordinary World" that I suddenly realized it.
This great masterpiece explains the ordinary and suffering for us, and explains the meaning of life. The book describes an ordinary world for us, a world on yellow earth. Here lives a group of ordinary people who have faced the loess and the north for generations. They perform dramas about birth, old age, illness and death, joys and sorrows, poverty and wealth, suffering and struggle, and changes in world affairs. Is it a comedy? tragedy? Drama? Maybe a little bit of both. In this book, there are no gorgeous words, no thrilling and bizarre plots, and no earth-shattering scenes. There are just ordinary people, ordinary lives, ordinary feelings, and ordinary stories.
When the teacher recommended me to read this book, I thought she was prevaricating me, because when I finished reading it for the first time, I didn’t feel anything. The things in it were too ordinary, ordinary. It has to make me feel as if they are happening around me. However, when I read it for the third time, I could feel my blood slowly starting to boil.
The character who impressed me the most in the book is Sun Shaoping. This is a person who has a profound understanding of suffering, a profound understanding of life, and a profound pursuit of the spiritual world. He has a strong character, strong spiritual strength, and great courage. From an "African" as a student to a "jobber" as an adult, he experienced an arduous struggle in life. However, in the pain and hardship, he developed a sense of pride and nobility in suffering. I appreciate his philosophy of suffering, admire his understanding of labor, and envy his understanding of life.
Regarding the philosophy of suffering, the book expresses this: "...Yes, he is struggling at the bottom of society and suffering for a few dollars; but he no longer regards this as more than just a To make a living, to survive... He now "loves" his suffering.
Through this baptism of blood and fire, he believed that the honey of life that he had brewed through all the hardships must be more flavorful than the honey that could be obtained easily. He self-deprecatingly called this understanding "about suffering" 's theory'..." What kind of understanding is this? Whenever we encounter difficulties and setbacks - perhaps this kind of difficulties and setbacks are only one millionth of what Sun Shaoping suffered - we can Have you ever had this understanding? Even if it rains after school one day, or the weather is sultry and the power goes out, we often hear a lot of complaints. However, I think as long as you read "Ordinary". After reading "The Philosophy of Suffering", no matter how much suffering you suffer in the future, you will not blame others.
As for the understanding of labor, the book writes: " Whether a person is spiritually fulfilled, or whether his life is meaningful or not, mainly depends on his attitude towards labor. "This is definitely an incisive theory that will never be outdated at any time. "Only labor can make people strong in life. No matter who you are, you still need those workers who can create life with their hands. For these people, Sun Shaoping taught them the most important lesson in their lives - how to treat labor, which is the most basic issue in life. "What is reflected here are two types of people, the hard-working and the lazy. There is no difference between people when they are born. However, after different situations and development, huge differences arise between people. During this period, Different understandings of labor play a decisive role in producing such differences.
Just like when we were admitted to college, we did not have much difference in study. However, after three years. After college life, the differences between people are so huge. Prime Minister Liu Luoguo said to He Shen before his death: "In fact, everyone's ending is carefully designed by himself. "When we read this, we should all think carefully about how we treat labor.
What kind of person is Sun Shaoping? In fact, he is just an ordinary person. A person who has read more books than ordinary farmers and has a higher level of pursuit of the meaning of life fully expresses his understanding of life in his letter to his sister Sun Lanxiang:
"...We were born in poor peasant families - never despise our origins, the benefits it brings to us will be endless in our lives; but we must be freed from the limitations of our origins and free ourselves from consciousness. They completely betrayed the narrow-mindedness of farmers and pursued a higher meaning of life. ...
First of all, we must be self-reliant and bravely face the world we are unfamiliar with. Don't be afraid of suffering! Suffering brings a sense of sublimity if it is understood deeply. … If life requires you to endure pain, you must grit your teeth and persevere. A great person once said: Is pain in vain? It should make us great! What is ordinary? The kind of person who is lost in the ordinary life, is familiar with the ordinary in his eyes, is willing to be mediocre in his thoughts, and is content with the status quo in his life, is the truly ordinary person. How can a person like Sun Shaoping, who has a higher pursuit of the meaning of life, be called an ordinary person? Even if it is ordinary, it is a higher level of great ordinary.
We live in a happy era and do not suffer too much, but our world is also ordinary. We live this ordinary life every day, do ordinary things, and perform ordinary dramas. Let’s keep our eyes open and take a closer look, who is Sun Shaoping?
The Extraordinary "Ordinary World"
To be honest, it is enough to count the books I have read on my fingers, and there is no need for any other calculation method. What I read the most are some magazines. I also read "A Dream of Red Mansions" twice and all of Lu Yao's works. This is all I have, which is quite poor.
Having not understood "A Dream of Red Mansions" is like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden and only remembering a few names sporadically. Therefore, the one that stays in my heart the longest is the Loess Plateau that Lu Yao lovingly described. Of course, "Ordinary" The World is the most memorable of all his works.
When I first came into contact with it, I didn't know whether it was because of the plot or something else. I felt excited and moved. I read the work of more than one million words in one go, which is still surprising to this day.
I watched "The Ordinary World" when I was in middle school. It was a season of brilliant dreams and soaring ambitions, and it was also a summer of family changes and life setbacks. Sadness and failure, reality and self-esteem, I seem to read myself in the book. Imagining the protagonist's hardships, as well as his high head and firm steps, it feels like walking through his world.
The loss of dreams and the fruits of pursuit in life are the easiest to make oneself doubt oneself. For a while, I fell in love with philosophy like crazy, from Sartre to Freud, from Nietzsche to Schopen. Hua, lingering in the world of philosophical terms that I seem to understand but not understand. There was an indelible pessimism tainted in my consciousness. However, when I opened "The Ordinary World", I gradually got out of the sad philosophical atmosphere, and slowly understood that there are many things in this world that are worthy of our attention and understanding, and there is no need to be sad. From the works, you can read about the trivial matters and hopes of farmers, as well as the beautiful water, green mountains and feudal ignorance, as well as the protagonist's awe-inspiring arrogance towards the living environment and the sweet desire in dreams. In the future, I always consciously or unconsciously compare the countryside of the Loess Plateau described by the author with my remote and poor hometown, even though one is in the south and the other is in the north.
Hemingway once said in "The Old Man and the Sea": "You can destroy a man, but you cannot defeat him." I have read many famous sayings about this, but when a flesh-and-blood character When this wise saying was vividly interpreted, I was moved and inspired. When Sun Shaoping slowly came to the end holding two black buns, my pupils were heating up and my heartbeat was speeding up, even though this scene happened decades ago. If I were given a copy of this reality, could I pick up these two black buns? I thought a lot about it in the future. If the same dilemma happened to me, I would believe in myself and go through it on my own. The unchanging heavy load still weighed on Sun Shaoping's shoulders, so he embarked on the road of hard labor. After the heavy exertion, he hid in a dark room and insisted on reading, while I, at the same age, was waiting for the remittance from home. , letting the most precious time slip away from me under the bright light... I was silent, I had no reason.
In the thick works, feel an ordinary and noble soul. In fact, don’t complain that life cannot give you all your desires, and don’t regret the path you choose to move forward every step of the way. The characters in the work struck a chord in my heart, their beliefs and pursuits, their pain and happiness. Life is very ordinary and requires creation and hard work. In the past and future days, this belief has always told me to find beauty and find myself.
Get out of the twists and turns of the storyline, the joys and sorrows of the characters, and start new development and management in real life. Every day I go through, although it is mixed with difficulties and failures, loss and confusion, my dream for life will never sink.
Read "The Ordinary World"
Reading a good book is like finding a good friend, who always gives you courage and strength, urging you to forge ahead.
"The Ordinary World" is such a good book.
For God’s people, sacrificing one’s life as a sacrifice to God is the highest honor; for Lu Yao, sacrificing one’s life for the birth of an excellent work is a matter of no regrets. Regretful choice. Lu Yao, who was in his prime, was ready to write a good work. After carefully selecting and reading more than 100 literary masterpieces, Lu Yao locked himself in his study. With a desk, some manuscript paper, and a pen, Lu Yao began his creative process. Winter and summer are easy to change, knowing one's own warmth and coldness. Apart from the sun, moon and stars, I am afraid that only Lu Yao can explain the bitterness and sourness of writing. But later generations liked it, so someone interpreted the scene when Lu Yao finished writing: Lu Yao finished writing the last word, put down the pen, and let out a long sigh. He remembered that he hadn't looked in the mirror for a long time, so he got up and walked to the mirror. Wiping away the dust on the mirror with rough palms, Lu Yao saw a haggard man with messy hair, sunken eyes, and stubble all over his cheeks.
The temples have turned gray at some point——
No one can deny that Lu Yao’s untimely death was due to the exhaustion of his efforts in writing "The Ordinary World"; no one can deny that the condensation of Lu Yao "The Ordinary World" written by Yao Xinxue is a masterpiece. Among contemporary literary works, "The Ordinary World" has undoubtedly established a monument. Everyone who reads this book will find what they are looking for.
"Life has bitterness and sweetness, but it cannot be without taste; life has successes and failures, but we cannot stop fighting."
This is the first time I read "Ordinary Life" The inspiration brought to me by "The World".
I remember it was a bitter July. I failed the college entrance examination and was feeling depressed. A friend gave me this book and said, "Have a look, maybe it will be helpful."
I still remember how I greedily finished reading this book. I kept the book in my hand all day, reading from day to night, and from night to early morning. Covering the book, I couldn't help myself and burst into tears with excitement. My tears are not for cowardice, but are like tears of joy after a moth breaks out of its cocoon and is reborn. In "Tearful Mother-in-Law", Lu Yao's characters Sun Shaoping, Tian Xiaoxia, Jin Bo... seemed to come to me, telling me to be strong, to be kind, to be a valuable person, and I, inexplicably, felt that I had changed in an instant. Be strong, kind, and valuable.
So, on the morning when I finished reading "The Ordinary World" for the first time, when the sun broke through the night and emitted thousands of rays of light, I stood in front of the window, opened my arms to the world, and listened. A great man's resolute voice sounded from the side:
"Grab the throat of fate!"
