Birds have thorns on their chests, which follows an unchangeable rule. She was stabbed by something whose name was unknown, driven away and died in singing. At the moment when the thorn pierced, she didn't realize that death was coming. She just sang and sang until her life ran out, and she couldn't make another note. However, when we put the thorn into our chest, we will know. We know very well. However, we still have to do this. We still have thorns in our chests.

Brief introduction of thorn bird
Colleen mccullough, an Australian contemporary writer, wrote The Thorn Birds, a family novel, which focuses on the love entanglement between the heroine Meggie and Father Ralph and describes the story of three generations of Cleary family, with a time span of more than half a century. Ralph longed for the power of the church, but fell in love with Meggie, a beautiful girl from Cleary's family. For the god he pursued, he abandoned secular love, but his heart was extremely contradictory and painful. Taking this as the center, it also shows the joys and sorrows of more than ten members of the Cleary family. It has the reputation of Gone with the Wind in Australia.
Meggie's family lives in New Zealand, and his father Paddy shears wool for a living. But this year, his father lost his job. While the family was worried, they received a letter from Meggie's aunt and Paddy's sister Mary from Australia. It turned out that Mary was old and was going to let them inherit. After some bumps, Meggie's family set foot on the Australian mainland and came to Drogheda. Meggie caught the attention of Father Ralph as soon as she appeared. He liked this girl very much.
The Meggie family settled down in Drogheda, and they quickly adapted to and fell in love with their new life here. They established a close friendship with Father Ralph. As Meggie grew up year by year, her feelings with Ralph gradually deepened. Ralph is not only a reliable teacher, but also a friend to talk to. All this was seen by Mary, a rich and surly old woman, and she hated it.
When Meggie 17 years old, Mary finally died. Before she died, she wrote a letter to Father Ralph, making him swear to open it before she died and was buried. Ralph agreed. However, he was shocked when he opened the envelope. It turns out that Meggie's aunt is much richer than people think. In her letter, she stated that all her property amounted to130,000 pounds, and she had made a will and left it to Meggie's family. But she changed her mind. She dedicated them to the Catholic Church, claiming that this is because of Father Ralph's excellent work, and this property will always be managed and dominated by Ralph. The Meggie family can live in Drogheda, but the salary is determined by Ralph.
Ralph is very contradictory after reading it: if he throws this unknown new will into the fire, the Meggie family can inherit all the inheritance, but he will lose this huge opportunity and never have the hope of promotion; If he publishes this new will, he will be valued and promoted by the church, but Meggie and her family will be deprived of their rights. After much hesitation, he finally gave in to his ambition. He published his will and left Delhi Haida and Meggie.
Meggie's father, Paddy, was caught in a big storm when he was moving sheep in the wild. The fire caused by lightning quickly devoured the long-dried grassland and Meggie's father and sheep. At this time, one of her brothers Stuart was stabbed to death by the fangs of a wild boar. When the whole family was immersed in grief, Father Ralph came back, buried the dead and left in a hurry. He told Meggie that although he loved her very much, he could never marry her. Before long, he was promoted to archbishop.
Meggie's family hired a new shearing worker named Luke O 'Neill. Luke looks like Father Ralph, which upset her, but she couldn't help approaching him. She wanted to relive the warmth Ralph gave Luke, and finally thought she was in love with Luke. In the pursuit of Luke, Meggie finally married him and left Drogheda. Luke doesn't love Meggie just because Meggie is rich. He plans to buy a ranch with Meggie's money and his hard-earned money. So soon after the marriage, he took Meggie to Kuntulan to cut sugar cane, and made Meggie a housekeeper in a family, and kept all Meggie's money in the bank.
Luke didn't meet Meggie to make money. Even when she gave birth to her first child (daughter Justin), he refused to come back to see Meggie. At this time, Ralph came to Meggie's side, and his feelings for Meggie remained unchanged. This persistent emotion always makes him feel pain. He finally lost control of his feelings, followed Meggie to matlock Island, and spent the happiest time of their lives together.
Ralph left Maggie for a more important position in Rome, and Maggie was pregnant with his child. Meggie therefore decided to leave Luke and return to Drogheda to live with his mother. She gave birth to Ralph's child and named it Dane.
Meggie's mother Fiona (Fei for short) saw at a glance that Dane was Ralph's child. She understands her daughter's behavior very well, confesses to Meggie that she once loved someone and gave birth to her eldest son, Frank. After the incident, she was expelled from the aristocratic family and married Meggie's father Paddy.
Meggie and his mother, daughter, son and brothers live well in Drogheda, and their daughter Justine and son Dane have grown up. Although Justine went her own way and was as cold as the Philippines, Meggie saw Ralph from Dane.
At this time, World War II broke out and Ralph was promoted to cardinal. He used religious influence to save Rome in the war and was praised by people. But in his heart, Meggie has always been her concern.
Ralph once returned to Drogheda. When he heard that Dane's surname was O 'Neill, he thought Meggie returned to Luke and gave birth to his son. Meggie decided not to tell Ralph that the son was his. When Dane grew up, he proposed to be a priest, which was a heavy blow to Meggie. After careful consideration, she sent Dane to a seminary in Rome and asked Ralph to take care of him. There is a sentence in her letter to Ralph that I will return what I stole. Ralph and Dane get along well, and Meggie is immersed in the affection between father and son. But it didn't last long. Dane died trying to save a drowning man while on holiday in Greece.
Meggie asked Ralph to use his right to find Dane's body (Dane has been buried in the local area), and Ralph wanted to refuse, so Meggie told him Dane was his son. Ralph was very sad, but it didn't help. After he finished mass for Dane, he died in sorrow and regret.
Meggie's daughter, Zhu Siting, grew up to be an actress, active in Australia and Britain and became a drama stage, and finally married a cabinet minister in Germany.
All this has given Meggie a new understanding of life. I caused everything myself. I don't hate anyone. I can't regret for a moment.
