Life is like a dream, and dreams are like life composition

Su Xueqi

Zhuang Zhou once dreamed that he turned into a butterfly one afternoon when he was taking a nap. He later recorded a valuable and still controversial issue in the history of ancient Chinese philosophy: how to distinguish reality from illusion.

Did people dream of butterflies, or did butterflies dream of people? Philosophers throughout the ages have studied this issue endlessly. But in my opinion, life is like a dream, and dreams are like life. How can we distinguish between reality and illusion? Instead of doing this, it is better to seize every precious day while being "confused" about the problem of self.

It is said that the author is crazy, who can understand the meaning.

The "wonderful flowers of Langyuan", "Flawless Jade", "Moon in the Water" and "Flowers in the Mirror" written by Cao Xueqin came out of the broken manuscripts a hundred years ago and came to life in people's eyes and hearts. , with flesh and blood. Every move, every frown and every smile is reflected in the readers' hearts and remains in the drama of Cao Xueqin's life.

Cao Xueqin's life is like a dream journey. The huge "hundred-year-old family" has been reduced to a struggling and unpopular family overnight. The dissolute behavior and pursuit of pleasure in his youth have been wiped away by his impoverished life, leaving only his still proud character and full of splendor. The reality of poverty and the memories of the first half of his life made him enlightened. He saw all the prosperity in the world and turned a blind eye to power and wealth. He spent his whole life in poverty and poverty to complete this masterpiece. It can be said that "every word looks like blood, and ten years of hard work is unusual." After reviewing for three years, with five additions and subtractions, how many people can persevere in this madness, how many people can be as famous as this?

Living is not only a physical existence, but also a spiritual progress. When you are in a desperate situation, should you succumb to fate and lament and recall your past glory all day long, or should you write this ironic story with determination, uncover your scars over and over again, and criticize this ridiculous and pedantic society? What is more precious than this work is the persistent and obsessed spirit of Cao Xueqin.

In the name of art, pay tribute to the soul

Michelangelo was praised and slandered in the wave of the Renaissance, with ups and downs like leaves falling in the wind. Only when he finally returned to peace did future generations suddenly realize: Ah, it turns out that this is art; Ah, it turns out that this is the soul.

Michelangelo is one of the rare people with a long life. In the many twists and turns of his life, how he was able to persevere to the end, I think this is not a coincidence. Michelangelo spent his whole life in competition, and the "imaginary enemy" in his heart was the best weapon to withstand doubts and scorn.

The young Michelangelo was young and vigorous, and he must compete with Leonardo da Vinci, who was 23 years older than him. This idea, which seemed naive at the time, provided Michelangelo with a powerful motivation. Overflowing with enthusiasm and genius, Michelangelo became famous in Florence. Even his teachers thought he was "terrible" and were unwilling to teach him any painting skills. But he became more and more courageous. Under the commission of the Holy See, he completed the masterpiece "David" in the history of art. That year, he was 26 years old. He was so dazzling with his impressive achievements that he spent the rest of his life being questioned, slandered, and reviled. He finally lost his imaginary enemy Leonardo da Vinci, so he locked himself in his own world and fought with himself. He was worried that handing over his work to a painter would affect the effect, so he painted and painted it alone on the ceiling of the church, making five overall changes. He was 61 years old that year.

Michelangelo's world is full of collisions of ideas and bursts of inspiration, and nothing else. Even though he is nearly 70 years old, there is only art in his life. If it is his good mentality that makes him live so long, it is better to say that it is art that nourishes this still-hearted artist; if it is said that he is too troubled by himself, it is better to say that he just pursues the truest and most beautiful art with no regrets.

Whether it is Cao Xueqin, Michelangelo, or others - Homer, Goethe, Tesla, Galileo, their lives may be short, controversial, down and out, or miserable. look back. Although their bodies have suffered from the ups and downs of life, their thoughts are wandering in the clouds.

Life is like a dream, and dreams are like life. If everyone's life is a drama, then why should we care about being watched and whispered by others? It is enough to just revel in it and use flesh and blood to create a respectable and immortal image.

Teacher’s comment: Your article uses the two examples of Cao Xueqin and Michelangelo to bring people to the point of The principle of sticking to one's beliefs is explained heartily and vividly, and the examples are novel and typical. The beginning is very unique, but it is inconsistent with the content of the fable given. It is likely that points will be deducted in the college entrance examination because of this. Why can't you always use the "template" I provided?

Happiness is already full

Liu Yujie

Flowers bloom and fall. People always sigh for the beauty that disappears inadvertently, but few people sigh for the beauty that disappears inadvertently. Stop and admire the beauty around you, only to wake up when it passes. This is true for flowers, and even more true for people and things. Happiness exists at all times and in all occasions, but only few people can truly feel it.

Zhuang Zhou envied butterflies that they could fly freely. After finally turning into a butterfly, he found that it was more comfortable in the days when he didn't have to worry about natural enemies all day long.

Many people are like this. They always envy the colorful lives of others, but they don't know that there are more people who envy their own plain and simple happiness. It is common to encounter children who have just learned to speak and are eager to grow up. Elderly people who have passed their prime years are eager to regain their youth. Old people who are over seventy years old are even more eager to return to their prime. People are always so unsatisfied, and it is difficult to realize the happiness and the simplest happiness that we have now. In fact, many people's lives are already filled with happiness.

Happiness, no one can give it an accurate definition, it is always full of mystery. It is an alluring word that makes people dream. However, for some people, happiness is an elusive dream. Our happiness goals are always specific and material: the ranking in the exam, the perfect score, the generous rewards, the distance, the future position. Almost every effort is for a warm and sunny destination. We moved forward with our heads down, our steps hurried, and our hands and feet worked together day and night to catch up. It wasn't until one day when we wiped the sweat from our brows and rubbed our sore waists that we realized that our luggage had been filled without even realizing it. At this time, we feel like we have drunk strong and fragrant wine, and the whole body is filled with warm warmth - happiness is so simple.

Indeed, happiness often has little to do with material wealth. It is a simple life, simple gratitude, and fulfilling work... Choosing the sunny path of life is not a great joy in life. Woolen cloth?

As time passes, spring passes and autumn comes, the nagging of my relatives makes me feel upset. But under the care and education of my relatives, I grew up little by little and made progress little by little. These are all the fruits of my relatives' hard work. Every time I fell down on the road of growth, my relatives would be by my side to comfort and encourage me. But the years have increased the burden on our relatives, making their beautiful faces older day by day. Only then do we feel the love given to us by our relatives, which is a kind of happiness.

Happiness is actually that simple. Everyone can have it, but not everyone can feel its existence. If we have a new understanding of life and a positive love for life, we will have another view: the seeds of happiness are around us. As long as you find it and water it, it will sprout and grow. It will even bloom and bear fruit in every corner of your life.

Teacher’s comment: Your article has made great progress compared with the past. The language is concise and smooth, with few omissions; the principles are explained thoroughly and hierarchically; it is linked to real life and has strong persuasiveness. The shortcoming is the lack of necessary examples. It would be better if you could quote one or two famous quotes at the end.

Look at life with a smile

Zhang Xinfang

A person's life is like five fingers, with peaks and valleys. Everyone in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, will encounter all kinds of dissatisfaction. We don’t have the superpowers of mythical characters, but we can have an optimistic attitude towards difficulties.

Zhuang Zhou Dreams of Butterflies

According to legend, Zhuang Zhou during the Warring States Period was dreaming one day that he had turned into a butterfly. In the dream, he was freely flying in the sky. Flying is very pleasant. After waking up from the dream, Zhuang Zhou worked hard to practice in order to become the butterfly in his mind as soon as possible. When he really turned into a butterfly, he regretted the fact that he worked hard every day to find food and avoid natural enemies.

In fact, Zhuang Zhou did not understand at all: there is no perfect thing in the world, and everyone will experience suffering. Suffering is a university that teaches us the way of life; suffering is a brick that builds a strong wall for us; suffering is a key that leads us to the door of success.

Su Shi was demoted

Speaking of Su Shi, I really feel unfair for his life. Originally a passionate young man who wanted to achieve great things and serve the country, he was repeatedly demoted due to villains' slander. It can be said that his official career was bumpy and his ambition was difficult to realize. But he did not give up on himself. After getting out of the haze of his soul, he sang the eternal and open-minded voice of "people have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes. It is difficult to fix this in ancient times. I hope people will live long and live thousands of miles away." . Faced with the guest's lament that life is easy to age, he revealed in "Qian Chibi Ode" that "from the perspective of things that remain unchanged, things and myself are endless, and how enviable! Between heaven and earth, things are all different. If there is a master, if it is not mine, I will not take away even a cent of it." This is an everlasting philosophy.

Helen Keller

Helen Keller, who was born in the United States, was blinded and deafened by scarlet fever when she was a child. In her world, there has always been darkness and loneliness. She had also been confused and scared. But with the help of Teacher Sullivan, she accepted it all with optimism and strength. She kept working hard, and after paying a price that ordinary people couldn't bear and shedding endless sweat, she succeeded! She was admitted to the best school in the world - Harvard!

I remember there was this sentence in Harvard’s motto: Please enjoy the pain that cannot be avoided! Helen. Keller, she used her optimism to overcome suffering and paint a perfect picture of life.

Life is like climbing a mountain. When we are at the bottom, as long as we are not discouraged, sooner or later we will usher in the glory of "I am the peak when I reach the top of the mountain". Let us face all the sufferings in life with an optimistic attitude. Su Shi and Helen are looking down at us with a smile in the sky of history.

Teacher’s comment: Su Shi’s example is very typical and proves your point well; especially Quotes from poetry enhance the literary grace of the article. Don’t confuse Zhuangzi in fables with Zhuangzi in history. They are two different things.

Struggle

Jiang Yufan

People always envy what others have, but they don’t know the efforts others have made for it...

- -Inscription

Everyone has his own life. In the eyes of others, you are always happy, and there is always something about you that makes them envious. However, who can know the pain in their hearts?

Women always envy others for having a good figure, but they don’t know what efforts they have made to maintain their figure; they always envy others for marrying a good husband who is not only rich but also treats her well. But I don’t know how she supported her husband from poverty to wealth.

Men always envy how successful others are, but they never know how much time and effort they have spent on it.

People always envy what others have, but they never know how hard they have worked; they always complain that their life is not perfect and not what they want, but they don’t know that the person you envy used to live a good life. People who live a more difficult life than you have achieved everything they have today because of their continuous efforts.

If you can't work as hard as others, don't complain about the bad life, and don't be dissatisfied with the status quo. No one is born better than others.

Helen Keller is a well-known American deaf-mute female writer and educator. She lost her vision, hearing and speaking abilities due to illness when she was 19 months old. However, it was such a severely disabled person who was blind, deaf, and mute who created a miracle in life. With the education and help of her teacher Anne Sullivan, she not only learned to read, write and speak, but also completed four years of study at Radcliffe College of Harvard University with amazing perseverance, becoming the first person in human history to win the Deafblind B.A.

Not only Helen Keller, but also Hawking is an excellent example.

In 1963, Hawking was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. At that time, doctors predicted that he would only live for two more years. However, he was physically disabled but not mentally disabled. He overcame difficulties unimaginable by ordinary people and became a supernova in the international physics community. He couldn't write and couldn't even speak clearly, but he transcended theories such as relativity, quantum mechanics, and the Big Bang and entered the "geometric dance" that created the universe. Although he was helplessly sitting in a wheelchair, his thoughts allowed people to travel to the vast space and time, solved the mysteries of the universe, and allowed people to see pictures of black holes and elementary particles. Listening to Hawking's typing on the computer keyboard and the computer's synthesized sounds, people were shocked by the profundity of modern physics and cosmological theories, and marveled at the wisdom of mankind.

Compared with them, we are lucky. Why do we always envy other people's lives? Why don't we follow their example and strive towards our own life goals?

Teacher’s comment: Looking at the first five paragraphs, your article looks like prose, but the whole article is Still an argumentative essay. Therefore, the first five paragraphs should be condensed into one paragraph. The examples of Helen and Hawking can both prove their points very well, but they are a bit outdated; it would be better if there were one or two real-life examples. Material composition should return to "material", so you should summarize it by contacting the fable at the end.

Be your best

Kutluck

If you can’t be the vast ocean, then you can be a cheerful and clear stream; if you can’t be delicate and beautiful If you can't become a soaring eagle, then you can be the bird that flies best...

Remember, you will always be you , no one can replace you. It’s actually best to be yourself!

Don’t let other people’s words stop you from moving towards the future. Everyone has his own characteristics, and every thing is different, just like there are no two identical leaves in the world. Blindly borrowing the strengths of others without paying attention to one's own development will make it impossible to improve oneself. People should be good at boldly tapping their own potential and making the most of their strengths.

The door to success is always open to the best of you. In this world, you are unique, you are different, you are the only one forever. So, don’t deliberately imitate others, don’t let the only you in this world become “extinct” and become a “copy” of another person! Have the courage to show off your own personality, be unique, and let the best you become the center of attention!

Oak trees are not as beautiful as roses, but they can shade tourists and allow birds to perch. Therefore, you must see yourself thoroughly and clearly, and develop in the direction that suits you, only then can you find a life that is unique to you.

A well-known story: Xi Shi was already stunningly beautiful, but she became even more charming when she was in pain. However, Dong Shi did not consider his own factors and blindly imitated others, making his original ugly face even more ugly, thus becoming an eternal joke.

But if you think about it carefully, if Dong Shi considers his own factors and doesn't blindly imitate others, but explores his own strengths and maximizes them, then maybe he won't be laughed at by others.

So, I think if you find a development direction that suits you, don’t care about other people’s words, have the courage to be your truest self, dare to boldly explore your own strengths, and don’t blindly imitate others, then you will be unique. , is the best!

Teacher’s comment: Your article fully explains the point of "becoming yourself". And it is good to use the idiom story of Dong Shi Xie Lian to demonstrate. It's just that there are too few examples and it is not very convincing. It is also necessary to further strengthen the training of the national common language and strive to make the language of articles more refined and rich in literary talent.
