Friends and Others

Plain truth - Thoughts on reading Xing Linzi's "Friends and Others" (examination)

When you mention Xinglinzi, what do you think of? Her stubborn disease? Her tenacious vitality? Her beautiful article? Or is it her observant eye? For me, the first thing is her writing. Although I had studied Xing Linzi’s articles in middle school, I had ignored them. It wasn't until my freshman year that I opened the Mandarin course and saw "Friends and Others" as a reading material. My heart was deeply shocked. I have always believed that words have infinite power. They can give people hope, influence people's values, and touch people's hearts. Xing Linzi's "Friends and Others" gave me a profound feeling in this regard. I especially admire her for being able to discover abyss of meaning from subtle things, and her words are full of hopeful life and lively vitality.

The shock that "Friends and Others" brought to me was not only the personality charm of the author Xing Linzi, but more importantly, it caused me to think about life, especially the indispensable companion in the journey of life—— Another reflection on “Friends”.

I still remember reading Feng Menglong's "Three Words" when I was in junior high school, and was deeply moved by the close friendship between Zhong Ziqi and Yu Boya. A close friend is enough." I began to look for the "mountains and flowing water" that could be in harmony with me, and I stubbornly believed that the reason why friends can leave eternal songs between friends must be as vigorous as love, and this is what makes it possible. Call them "friends."

However, reality gave me a head-on blow! Of course, this doesn’t mean that I don’t have a friend. I have a close friend who talks to me about everything, enjoys joys and share sorrows. However, when I was young, I only had “high mountains and flowing water” in my mind, and thought this was just a sign of ordinary life. Necessities, still looking for the "swan song" everywhere. However, the reality unfolds in front of me. Because there are too many things to pursue, friendship has been tainted with fame and fortune. People's expectations for friends are even biased towards what use they will have to me - or a ladder to climb, or a ladder to climb. Zhouji escaping from the sea. The title of friend has lost the chastity of friendship.

Could it be that "friends" are really a once-in-a-lifetime swan song! ?

"Although we are all very close friends,... occasionally we meet on the phone, it is nothing more than a few ordinary words." "The harmony of the soul no longer needs too many words to express." This means to me Said, it is so familiar and yet so strange. After searching again and again, after many twists and turns, "the man was in a dimly lit place." I feel ridiculous about my youthful stubbornness, but doesn’t it also contain a sincere heart towards my friends?

Friends do not necessarily need the companionship and love of Boya and Ziqi in the "high mountains and flowing water", nor do they necessarily need the "two sides" in martial arts novels. These are actually very few. Yes, it’s also hard to find. The friends we really need in real life, or the meaning of friends, are companions who can support, support, accompany, and help each other on the long road of life. She is the lingering words or yells you send when you are depressed, the joyful songs and laughter or affection when you are lonely, the intoxicating or dripping joy when you are happy, and the cold water of goodwill when you are proud. Feel the deep affection of friends in talking and listening, and constantly shake hands and express gratitude in communication and contact. In the wind and rain of life, friends can protect you from the wind and cold, share your sorrows, and relieve you of pain and difficulties. Friends will always extend a hand of friendship. She is an escalator when you climb high, a good medicine when you are injured, a bowl of white water when you are hungry and thirsty, and a small boat when you cross the river; she cannot be bought with money or given an order. , the most valuable and real thing that can only be obtained by sincerity. Friends are like the stars and the moon in the night sky, illuminating each other, encouraging each other, and looking at each other. Friends are embedded in silent care. They don’t necessarily have to meet every day. What lasts forever is heart-to-heart communication. Friends don’t have to flatter you in vain. You may understand by just nodding. Sometimes we see each other from afar. Isn’t it wonderful?

"In fact, whether it is friendship or love, it will turn into family affection over time." True friendship is highlighted in ordinary life! Xing Linzi is an unfortunate person, and fate has given her too much suffering; she is also a lucky person, and life has given her many gifts, allowing her to appreciate the true meaning of life in her ordinary life.

Life of Liu Xia

Unfortunately

Liu Xia was born in Xinglin Town, Fufeng County, Shaanxi Province. In order to commemorate her In the place of her birth, she took the pen name Xinglinzi. What kind of person is this? He contracted a strange disease when he was 12 years old. The doctor diagnosed him as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. This is a chronic disease caused by an incomplete autoimmune system. It is completely incurable. The patient is sentenced to a long death sentence. Death is preceded by endless pain, more pain, and more pain in Lingchi.

Then why are you still alive? Liu Xia also asked himself this question.

After she fell ill, she saw that her joints were broken one by one, and she was gradually unable to walk or jump. The physical pain was easier to bear. The biggest pain came from the heart, "I don't know that I have not studied much and am paralyzed. What's the point of being a patient in bed? What am I doing just to suffer for myself and drag my family down? Do I really want to stay in bed and be a useless person forever?"

So she told me If you haven't recovered in three years, don't live anymore. As a result, after three years of hard work, there was still no recovery! She thought: Okay, let’s extend it for another three years. If it doesn’t work out again, I will definitely not live anymore!

Change

But not even in the second three years, when she was 16 years old, Liu Xia found God, or God found Liu Xia. Through the spiritual comfort of God, Liu Xia has a new interpretation of life: The biggest difference between God and the devil is that the devil does everything possible to make people die, but God does everything possible to just make people live, and live better and more vigorously. , happier. Therefore, he gave people confidence, hope, courage, and love; he taught us how to maintain faith in pain, hope in discouragement, and courage in crisis. He also constantly nourished our wounded hearts with love. So that our lives can be filled with vitality again and we can live bravely.

Strong

Since having faith, Liu Xia decided to arm himself with happiness and live in peace with pain.

On her right wrist, there were a bunch of dense white dots, which were all needle marks. Whenever an intravenous injection or blood draw is needed, the doctor shakes his head and sighs. They poke and poke with the needle, but they can't find the poor blood vessel. Some doctors "failed" one injection after another, often sweating profusely, and the hands holding the needles were shaking. Liu Xia held back the pain and comforted them: "It doesn't matter, take your time! I have type O blood. People say people with type O blood are brave."

Not only did Liu Xia fight against the disease tenaciously, she also learned how to love and give, and tempered herself bit by bit. personality.

A writer described seeing Liu Xia’s writing process. She put a wooden board on her leg and tremblingly held the pen between her two fingers to write. Each stroke she wrote was like lifting weights. She had to endure such tremendous pain that the writer couldn't bear to read any more. But just like that, Liu Xia wrote millions of words and more than 20 inspirational books. Her works may not be called exquisite literature, but they are every word of pain and every word of love. The power they unleash is greater and more precious than those exquisite literatures. This is what she uses her "useless body" to give to the weak, physically and mentally. A gift for the disabled, and for countless others who have fallen and cried through the long nights.

She said this: The reason why she couldn't live at that time was that she didn't know when the disease would be cured. What was the meaning and value of life? But after I gained faith, I had a new interpretation of life: every life, whether old, weak, disabled, rich, poor, noble or humble, is precious! Every life has its own specific value. People look at people based on appearance - looks, wealth, and status. But God looks at our hearts to see whether we have done our part in our lives. He does not require everyone to get 100 points, because he knows that people's talents and abilities vary. He only requires us to do our duty and do our best, and that is enough.

Xinglinzi created a miracle. No, don't say she created a miracle, she is a miracle in her own right. But how do miracles happen? Where does her power come from?

Cherish life

We once met, once fell in love, and once illuminated each other’s lives, just remember that beauty and sweetness. Although there is no chance, there is no regret.

I have nothing but love.

Life does not matter how long it is, but it should be valuable. Although Xing Linzi only lived for 61 years, her life was full of brilliance.

"Life and Life"

"Life and Life" (Author: Xing Linzi)

The little moth is struggling in danger, and the melon seeds are in the cracks of the bricks in the corner. Seedlings grow out of my heart, and "I" listen to the beating of my heart and feel my own life. These were originally ordinary trivial matters, but the author realized profound truths from them. Try to contact the author's life experience and understand why she strongly shouted "life, life".

I often think, what is life?

At night, I was writing under the lamp, and a moth kept flying around above my head, harassing me. When it stopped, I reached out and caught it. As long as I put a little pressure on my finger, it won't move. But it struggled and flapped its wings vigorously. I felt the power of life leaping in my hands, so strong! So vivid! The moth's desire to live shocked me and I couldn't help but let it go!

A melon seed fell into the crack of the brick in the corner of the wall, and a few days later, a small melon seedling appeared. What a powerful vitality is contained in that little seed! It was able to break through the hard shell and grow unyieldingly upward in the cracks between bricks without sunlight or soil, even if it only lived for a few days.

Once, I used a doctor’s stethoscope to listen to my own heartbeat. The steady and regular beating shocked me greatly. This is my life, mine alone. I can use it well, or I can waste it. It's all up to me and I have to be responsible for myself.

Although life is short, we can make our limited life reflect infinite value. Therefore, I made up my mind to cherish life and never let it go in vain, so that I can live a more glorious and powerful life.

Feelings

The author Xing Linzi expressed his own feelings in simple language. The moth's desire to survive, the vigorous growth of melon seedlings, and his own thinking about the meaning of life all show the author's emotion, cherishment, and surprise about life! ! !

Every day I walk through the white wards, thinking about the patients. When the sound waves of the sorrowful voices penetrate the eardrums, my heart also aches. When I looked at those eyes full of longing for life and full of trust in medical care, I was deeply shocked. Use my blood, my hands, and my wisdom to soothe those hurting hearts. Then laughter and laughter will continue to appear in the ward. But sometimes, despite all efforts, cancer will ruthlessly take away innocent lives. For this reason, I asked the sky: Why does our modern medicine sometimes seem so pale and feeble? ! I reflect...

Death is the destination of life. Life is short, you should know how to cherish it when you are healthy. Don’t cherish it more when your life comes to the end. You must not be greedy for the temporary pleasure of beauty or the temporary pleasure of wine and meat; and forget the potential of illness and illness. The bane of deterioration.

To enjoy life, you must treat life well. Compared with the vast river of history, life can be described as a short moment. Power is fleeting and money is something external to oneself. Cherish life and take care of your body. It is better to be poor all your life than to be greedy for temporary wealth. This is the understanding of life.

Living in this world is also a kind of luck. Cherishing life and enjoying human life is the greatest happiness. There is no need to regret yesterday’s failure, nor to worry about today’s loss, nor to worry about tomorrow’s gains and losses. sad. Only when you look at the tranquility of the mountains, look at the sea and have a broad mind, have a balanced mind, be content and always happy, and reach the highest state of treating life well, can you truly enjoy every day happily!

An inch of time and an inch of gold, there will be no second chance in life. Now, life is within us and we can manipulate it as we please. Friends, life is colorful, cherish life.
