In 1950s and 1960s, the Soviet novel How Steel was Tempered deeply influenced our generation. Pavel Colta King became an example for us to learn and an idol to worship.
"Life is the most precious thing for people, and life belongs to us only once. That's how people should spend their lives. When he looks back on the past, he will not regret wasting his time, nor will he be ashamed of his mediocrity ... "
This famous saying is written on the title page of the diary as a motto. In 1980s, after Zhang Haidi's deeds were made public, Heidi was the contemporary Paul, which not only influenced a generation of young people, but also touched an old man like me. I admire her strong will, tireless study spirit and her literary talent.
For a long time, they have shaped the images of several contemporary intellectuals: astronomer Du Kecheng, sculptor Yu Jinfei, riverist Zeng Zaiping, zoologist Zhu Lining ... They devote themselves wholeheartedly to the cause they love, not for fame, not for profit, being conscientious and tireless. They are also confused and sad, and feel lonely because of the high and low music. Heidi herself said, "This is a quiet book. People in books are always thinking. Impetuous people can't think and don't know the spiritual pleasure brought by thinking. " The protagonist in the book always lives in memory and imagination, so the feeling is far from reality and the story is thin. Ordinary readers who want to read tortuous and touching stories may not have the patience to read and think.
This book is too heavy. There are hardships and confusions in life, and there should also be joy and enjoyment. This may be related to the author's life experience.
Heidi said, "I am a patient. I have to work hard to relieve the pain while writing, but sometimes I can't, so I have to wait." When the body is limited by disability, imagination is a kind of spiritual liberation of self. Imagination can make your soul out of your body and take you across Qian Shan.
Because I hold the social position of the Disabled Persons' Federation, I see many people still struggling on the poverty line and their helplessness in the face of physical disabilities and diseases. In fact, the so-called self-improvement people are not in the majority. Some people live just to live, and there are too many problems to solve. Only by doing this kind of work and really going deep into the families and hearts of the disabled can we understand their plight, and as a writer, it is too important to understand the painful heart. Compared with them, the pressure of some healthy people is really insignificant. "Today's stress is actually people's confusion about their own spirit-what do you want? What else do you want? How can we get more? If your spirit is not satisfied, people will think that life is not as good as before, but for some people, it is already very good now. They have a house, money, a car and a home, while others don't. ...
Sometimes literature is like a psychologist, hoping that literature can explore and soothe the soul more deeply and bring even a little light and warmth to the soul. "
Let's get rid of glitz and anxiety, calm down, read this book, think calmly and realize life.
