Suffering is a theme in Yu Hua's novels. In To Be Alive, Fu Gui suffered a lot all his life, such as his father fell from the dung jar and died, his mother died seriously ill, his wife died of illness, his son died of excessive blood donation, his daughter died of postpartum hemorrhage and so on. The following are five excerpts from my life notes. I hope you like them.
Excerpts from reading notes of Living 1 The feeling of being alive is an instinct, which has nothing to do with the environment. Even if the world makes you desperate and disheartened, you still have to live tenaciously. This is the instinct of life and the truest belief in life.
In the process of reading the book "Alive", I once felt that the protagonist was really miserable. What's the point of living like this? But after reading it, I realized that living may be just for living, an instinct for survival and a respect for life. When you lose everything, you will find that you still have your life, your life goes on, and your life can't be taken away by others.
Reading, I shed tears for Fu Gui's miserable life. At the same time, I also think that it is much easier for us to live than to be rich. We can't feel the pain of being rich and expensive. It's easy to live. If you want to pursue "how to live", then life may become a luxury.
"Life is dignified, and we should respect it. Even in the face of more suffering, we must work hard to continue to live. " This is the life that really touched me.
People live for living itself, not for anything other than living. As Yu Hua said, "Being alive is full of power in our language in China. Its strength does not come from shouting, but from enduring, enduring the responsibilities entrusted to us by life, enduring the happiness and pain entrusted to us by reality, and enduring boredom and mediocrity. Therefore, endure suffering and create life. "
Living shows people's tolerance for suffering and optimism about world disasters. He let me really know that it is difficult to live, and it is even more difficult to prolong life.
Living is for living itself, not for anything other than living. ...
Excerpts from "Living" Notes and Comprehension 2 "Some people are alive but he is dead, while others are dead but he is still alive." I believe many people should have heard of this classic, and the book Alive perfectly interprets this famous saying. "Fu Gui" is the protagonist, and his life experience is an event surrounding this book. Half a life of wealth and half a life of poverty will eventually lead to wisdom. There is a passage in the article that Fu Gui was immersed in the whirlpool of gambling, and unconsciously fell into the conspiracy of Long Er, and finally lost all the property in his family, making the whole family a prisoner, which shows the sinister intentions of the society at that time. But it was such a painful lesson that Fu Gui was pulled out of the darkness bit by bit, and the painful experience again and again made Fu Gui feel the burden on his shoulders more and more.
What moved me most was Jia Zhen and his children. Even though her husband is addicted to gambling, he still insists on him. This spirit of selfless dedication is worth learning. His children know how to take care of their parents even when they are very young, so as not to let them worry about themselves. This can't help but make us reflect, shouldn't we know how to repay our parents' sweat bit by bit in a well-off society? Even if parents are not worried about themselves, it is worth doing more.
Finally, I think the article "To Be Alive" is worth reading. It makes us know how to be grateful and feel life. Being an ordinary person and living a happy life in peace is not what people have longed for since ancient times.
Excerpts from the reading notes of Living and my feelings 3. The novel to be alive once made me cry several times. It tells the ordinary and tortuous life of an ordinary person from the perspective of an observer. Fu Gui, the hero, lived in that chaotic and special era, experienced a series of turbulent lives such as war and war, experienced the rise and fall of his family, and witnessed the death of his son, daughter, wife, son-in-law and grandson. In his life, I don't know how many things have been lost, including money and relatives. Finally, there was only a bony old cow left beside him. Nevertheless, he is optimistic about the world, and all the tragedies in his mouth have become so dull! I wonder why Fu Gui still lives in this world since all his relatives have left him. When I read the book back and forth several times, I realized:
People will always experience setbacks, disasters, pains, birth, illness and death in their lives. Facing everything calmly is the best choice!
The world is really unfair. Some people can enjoy all the splendor, but some people have to face the loess all their lives like Fu Gui. In the face of such injustice, hatred and escape are futile. It is better to change yourself by your own efforts!
I used to feel scared at the thought of death. Now it seems that this is all. We all want to live the same life. Life is just a process. I just hope that I can choose a path according to my own wishes and find the value of living. Realize this truly, soberly and from the heart. When I want to say goodbye to the world, I hope I can leave with a calm smile and say goodbye to the people around me.
Excerpts from the reading notes of "Living" and my thoughts 4. Now I am still immersed in this emotion. "To be alive" played a sad symphony of fate. I think of Garcí a Má rquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude, which is about the tragic fate of several generations of Buendia family. "To Live" also tells the fate of several generations of this family with Fu Gui as the protagonist. The difference is that one is produced in South America and the other is produced in China, but both of them bring me calm meditation on the tragic fate of life.
I yearn for such works in my heart, such as Ordinary World, Muslim Funeral, and How Steel was Tempered. Such works can bring people to the depths of their hearts and bring you a calm and thoughtful state of mind. My life needs peace, and my soul needs meditation.
At this time, I thank Yu Hua for writing such a work, which well satisfied my inner desire. My meditation has produced a unique silent language between me and the book, and this silent communication has given my mind a sureness.
Life has been honed in the years, and fate has not drawn any boundaries for anyone.
Life has been honed in the years, and fate has not drawn any boundaries for anyone, nor has it preset any suffering for anyone. The art of life is that no matter which street you walk through or who you meet, don't forget to forgive or be pessimistic.
Reading notes and thoughts taken from Living; Between reviewing my lessons, I read Alive. I have heard about Yu Hua's books for a long time, but I didn't have much time until I saw Zhang Yimou's movies for the first time. After reading the original, I can't help but admire that this book is a good script by nature, and I don't think the screenwriter needs to change anything. The description of the story is full of camera sense, which is my favorite story-telling mode. The author's words are not gorgeous, but they are full of power in plain and can touch you from the heart. I don't want to talk about soul. Maybe it's hard to be moved by reading too much, but it's really a good book and worth recommending. I hope everyone will have their own feelings after reading it.
Give a passage from the book for everyone to enjoy:
The old man and the cow are drifting away. I heard the rough and moving voice of the old man in the distance. His singing fluttered like the wind in an empty night. The old man sings:
Teenagers wander, middle-aged people want to dig and hide, and old people become monks.
Smoke curled up on the roof of the farmhouse, dispersed in the radiant sky and disappeared.
The voices of women shouting at their children came and went. A man walked past me with a dung bucket, and the pole creaked all the way. Slowly, the field tends to be quiet, surrounded by a blur, and the glow gradually fades away.
I know that dusk is fleeting and the night is falling from the sky. I saw the vast earth stand up, which was a gesture of calling, just like a woman calling for her children, and the earth calling for the night.
