I learned many noble spirits from Beethoven. What I particularly admire is his spirit of tenaciously fighting against fate. Beethoven His full name is "Ludwig von Beethoven". Beethoven's childhood was painful. Life was like a tragic and cruel struggle for him. His father was eager to develop his musical talent and used Violence forced Beethoven to practice various musical instruments. When he grew up, bad luck befell Beethoven again: he lost his dearest mother. Beethoven was so grief-stricken that he could only write letters and cry to his friends. < /p>

Beethoven, who grew up in hardship, was also lucky. When the French Revolution broke out, Beethoven met Mozart and communicated with each other. Then, he became a disciple of Haydn. Later, Beethoven began to stand out. When Beethoven tasted the sweetness of success for the first time, pain came again. Slowly, Beethoven's hearing in his ears became increasingly declining, and his internal organs were also tortured by severe pain. But he still hid it from everyone, It wasn't until he could no longer hide it that he wrote to his two friends, Dr. Wegler and Pastor Amanda. Beethoven's degree of deafness gradually increased, but he was not completely deaf. It can be said that almost all of Beethoven's works are... It was written after he became deaf.

People saw the gaze of genius in Beethoven’s youthful face: from that gaze, people could also see his tragic fate. In the following years, his character was too The free and violent Beethoven was rejected by love more than once. While suffering these physical pains, Beethoven had to endure another kind of pain.

Befalls great men. When we suffer setbacks, we should think of these examples of enduring and overcoming pain, stop blaming others, and strengthen our beliefs...

"The Biography of Famous People" was written by the French writer Romain Rolland. The book writes about three famous figures in the world. The first is the German composer: Beethoven; the other is the talented Italian sculptor: Michelangelo; and the last is the famous Russian writer: Tolstoy.

The most touching thing in this "Celebrity Biography" is the story of Beethoven. Beethoven was a musical genius. His talent was discovered by his father very early. Unfortunately, Beethoven's father was not a good father. He asked Beethoven to practice piano every day, regardless of his mood. They kept training him, and sometimes even put Beethoven and a violin in a room and locked him up for a whole day, using violence to force him to learn music. Beethoven's childhood was very miserable. His mother died when he was sixteen, and his father became a spendthrift alcoholic. These misfortunes pressed on Beethoven's head, leaving deep scars in his heart, which also led to his bad temper and eccentricity. But Beethoven did not sink because of this. He devoted all his energy to the music career he loved. Because of his talent and hard work, he soon became famous. When he was immersed in the happiness that music brought him, something unfortunate happened again: he became deaf. For a musician, the most important thing is his ears. However, a great musician like Beethoven, who made a living from music, has deaf ears. This blow is unacceptable to ordinary people.

Beethoven’s life was tragic and troubled, but why was he still successful? Why can he do things that normal people can't do? This got me thinking deeply. I think the reason why Beethoven succeeded was because he had extraordinary perseverance and fighting spirit. He had no fear in the face of difficulties. This is the secret of his success.

In daily life, when we encounter difficulties, we often think of asking others for help instead of facing the difficulties head-on and making up our minds to solve them. As for Beethoven, because of his weird temper, no one wanted to be friends with him. Therefore, when he faced difficulties, he could only fight alone. Although he was very lonely, he learned something that others could not learn: as long as you give yourself unlimited courage, you can defeat even the most terrifying enemy.

Finally, I hope that people all over the world can remember Beethoven and live like Beethoven.

"Biography of Celebrities" is composed of "The Biography of Beethoven", "The Biography of Michelangelo" and "The Biography of Tolstoy" by the famous French writer Romain Rolland Composed, they were all created in the early twentieth century and had a wide impact both at that time and in later generations. In these three biographies, Romain Rolland did not stick to trivial examinations of the lives of the subjects, nor did he generally trace their creative processes. Instead, he firmly grasped the three artists in their respective fields. The similarities are focused on depicting their mental journeys of enduring suffering for a long time in pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty. Romain Rolland called them "heroes" and wrote about their noble courage to fight against fate and their great feelings to bear the suffering of all mankind with touching pen and ink. It can be said that he wrote another "heroic symphony" for us. .

As early as the 1930s and 1940s, "The Biography of Celebrities" was translated into Chinese by Mr. Fu Lei, a famous translator in my country. The first-class biographer, first-class author and first-class translator made this book a masterpiece. The work quickly became a classic and is still loved by readers today. The first half of the 20th century was a turbulent and suffering period in human history. Romain Rolland wrote "The Biography of Famous People" and Mr. Fu Lei translated "The Biography of Famous People". They were all inspired by the lives of these great men. Draw the strength to survive and the courage to fight. Mr. Fu Lei said, "When the haze covers the entire sky," the inspiration he got from "The Biography of Celebrities" is: "Only real suffering can drive away the suffering of romantic Dick's fantasy; only the heroic tragedy that overcomes suffering can , can help us bear the cruel fate; only by holding the spirit of 'If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell', can we save a depressed and selfish nation..."

So, for today's readers, Say, what can "Celebrity Biography" give us? In an era where material life is extremely rich but spiritual life is relatively poor, in a society where people avoid the sublime, bid farewell to the sublime and settle for mediocrity, "The Biography of Celebrities" may give us more embarrassment, because the careers of these giants are like A bright mirror makes our despicableness and insignificance clearly visible. We would rather praise their works than feel the greatness of their personalities. At the end of "The Life of Michelangelo", Romain Rolland said that a great soul is like a high mountain, "I don't say that ordinary human beings can survive on the peak. But once a year they should go up and pay homage. There, they can Change the breath in their lungs and the blood flow in their veins. There, they will feel closer to eternity. Later, they will return to the vast plains of life, filled with the courage to fight every day." This is truly a golden statement for our time.

"The Biography of Celebrities" very well confirms an ancient Chinese saying: Those who have achieved great things in ancient and modern times must not only have extraordinary talents, but also must have perseverance. Beethoven's "Find shelter in sadness and forbearance", Michelangelo's "The more I suffer, the more I like it", Tolstoy's "I cry, I am in pain, I just want the truth", all show that great life is An endless battle. Our era is ever-changing and full of opportunities. We long for success, but we don’t want to struggle. What we want is overnight success. Impetuousness and eagerness for quick success may make us achieve short-lived achievements, but it will never make us among the immortals among mankind. Therefore, reading "The Biography of Celebrities" may make us sober.

Be kind-hearted and love freedom above all else. Even for the throne, I will never betray the truth. ”——Beethoven

“The more it pains me, the more I like it.” ”——Michelangelo

“I cry, I am in pain, I just want the truth”——Tolstoy

"The Biography of Famous People" describes people in different eras and different The spiritual power and spiritual beauty of the three great artists of the nation. They are the great German musician Beethoven in the 19th century, the famous Italian sculptor Michelangelo in the Renaissance, and the Russian literary giant Tolstoy. They wrote about their relationship with destiny. The noble courage of resistance and the great feelings of shouldering the suffering of all mankind allow us to get close to the great personalities of heroes and feel their long-term suffering in pursuit of truth, goodness, beauty, truth and justice. This allows us to learn more and gain more. .

"The Biography of Celebrities" very well confirms an ancient Chinese saying: Those who achieve great things in ancient and modern times must not only have extraordinary talents, but also have perseverance. Roland. Grasp the similarities of these three artists in their respective fields to restore the noble humanitarian tradition of 20th century literature and restore Beethoven's colorful characters from the peak of his glory to the bottom of his life. Poverty-stricken life, from misery in childhood to the pursuit of joy in old age, is just as Romain Rolland described, "his whole life is like a thunderstorm." From this, I realized that Beethoven has always been fighting against fate. Struggle with thoughts, although he gives people a sense of arrogance, but there is a fragility and strength in his heart that people who don't know him can't discover his passion for creating perfect songs, his persistence in finding joy, and his passion for finding happiness. The perfect encounter made his life become "a force of nature; the battle between a primitive force and the rest of nature produced a spectacular scene like Homer's epic". He used his own Suffering creates joy, and "exchanging pain for joy" is enough to condense his life.

So why not Michelangelo? "He has strength. He was lucky enough to be born to struggle and conquer, and he also conquered - he didn't want to win. That is not what he expected." He is a spiritual aristocrat and a genius, but he is troubled by his genius. His spirit and soul were powerless. This mad excitement exists in a body and mind too weak to control its terrible life. From this, I can see that his life is sacred and painful, but he believes that as long as his soul can be persevering and courageous, and does not sink blindly due to misery, he will definitely break through the spiritual shackles. In the struggle and sacrifice, he dedicated his life He devoted his whole life to creating immortal masterpieces that express truth, goodness and beauty. And Tolstoy, the great soul of Russia who shines on the earth, was the soothing star in the gloomy sunset at the end of the 19th century. He used his powerful pen to write a series of works that can make people happy. Step by step we follow Tolstoy's work through the paradoxes of his adventurous career. In addition to the darkness of society at that time, these works describe his belief in God and his persistence in sowing the seeds of love into the world with the tip of his pen. I deeply realized that he persisted in his belief in truth and justice and wrote his life for truth and justice.

Yes, Beethoven, Michelangelo and Tolstoy were all conquerors of the world. We enjoy the works created by their genius, just as we enjoy the great achievements of our ancestors, and no longer want to hear the blood they shed. This is undoubtedly an embarrassing thing for us, because the careers of these giants are like a bright mirror, which makes us His despicableness and insignificance are revealed in every detail. We would rather praise their works than feel the greatness of their personalities. No, a great heart and soul is like a high mountain, where we will receive greater enlightenment. "Celebrity Biography" is like composing a "heroic symphony" for us. The inspiration we get from it is: Sufferings and disasters will happen to everyone. Instead of complaining about others, we should work hard. Instead of envying great men, we should learn from the great personalities of great men and make our lives full of meaning. Instead of relying on impetuousness and quick success, we can achieve success. Instead of short-lived achievements, it is better to persist in one's own beliefs, truth and justice and make oneself among the immortals among mankind.

As long as we realize that "The Biography of Celebrities" gives us a sublime sublimation of the soul, makes the blood of heroes appear in front of us, and the red flag of heroes flutters above our heads, we will slowly feel that in In this society where people avoid the sublime, bid farewell to the sublime and settle for mediocrity, our souls have also been sublimated into a kind of sublimity.

Mr. Fu Lei, the first translator of this book, said, "When the haze covers the entire sky," the inspiration he got from "The Biography of Celebrities" is, "Only real suffering can drive away the suffering of romantic fantasy; only heroic tragedy that overcomes suffering can help us endure a cruel fate; only with the spirit of 'If I don't go to hell, who will?' can we save a person. A sluggish and selfish nation..."

"Be dedicated to good and love freedom above all else. Even for the sake of the throne, you will never betray the truth." - Beethoven

"Here. What makes me miserable is the more I like it.”——Michelangelo

“I cry, I am in pain, I just want the truth”——Tolstoy

” An unfortunate person, a person who is poor, disabled, lonely, and caused by pain, the world does not give him joy, but he creates joy to give to the world; he uses his suffering to create joy, as he used that heroic saying to illustrate - That is the motto that can sum up his life and can become the motto of all heroic souls: "Exchange pain for joy." Indeed, "exchange pain for joy" is Romain Rolland's vision of tracking Beethoven's life and destiny. This sentence. Words constitute the inner tension and gripping ideological charm of "Beethoven's Life". The boiling of life sets off the finale of music. Beethoven longed for happiness; he did not want to believe that his misfortune was incurable: he longed for cure, he longed for love; he was full of hope.

In fact, it has been explaining a truth! A fate ultimately ends in a person's hard life!

"Resurrection" is another masterpiece of Tolstoy in his later years. Romain Rolland said: "Wife, children, friends, and enemies all did not understand him, they all thought he was Don Quixote. , because they can't see the enemy he is fighting, which is actually himself."

"Tolstoy, do you live according to the doctrine you preach?" He said painfully. The answer: "I am ashamed to death. I am a sinner and I should be despised." Finally, at the age of 82, Tolstoy escaped from the house alone on a cold winter night and lived in an unknown small town. Can't afford to be sick. When he was dying, he cried loudly and said to the people around him;

"Millions of creatures on the earth are suffering; why are everyone here only taking care of one Leo Tolstoy? ”

In fact, Tolstoy raised questions about the common people and responded to the painful soul. Here we clearly hear Beethoven’s joyful singing of life.

It goes without saying that a strong, aggressive and humane figure like Beethoven shakes and supports us.

Tolstoy and Michelangelo, especially Michelangelo, were both people with great weaknesses. However, when we come into contact with them in their biographies, we share their pain and failure with emotion, and at the same time share their success. Sincerity and success. Our lives are almost integrated with theirs, and it is by no means just "resting on their pillows for a while." Beethoven's "Find shelter in sadness and forbearance", Michelangelo's "The more I suffer, the more I like it", Tolstoy's "I cry, I am in pain, I just want the truth", all show that great life is An endless battle. Our era is ever-changing and full of opportunities. We long for success, but we don’t want to struggle. What we want is overnight success. Impetuousness and eagerness for quick success may make us achieve short-lived achievements, but it will never make us among the immortals among mankind. Therefore, reading "The Biography of Celebrities" may make us sober.

Having a position, where can we stand in the world, let everyone be awake to each other and stop deceiving themselves

People Often said: "An excellent biography not only allows us to understand the world, but also allows us to understand life more deeply." "Celebrity Biography" includes: "The Biography of Beethoven", "The Biography of Michelangelo", "The Biography of Tolstoy" "Biography" three biographies. Their protagonists are musicians, sculptors and novelists respectively. However, although their careers and eras are different, the ideals they pursue are the same - efforts for truth and justice. .

In the face of pain and loneliness, Beethoven chose to stick to his beliefs. As a musician who could not hear any sound, he gave people an arrogant illusion and was concerned about political autocratic rule. , the ruthless war, but he chose to resist. For the sake of peace, Beethoven once said: "As long as it is to obtain more beautiful things, any law can be broken." This sentence accurately expressed his opposition to autocracy at the time, and So why not Michelangelo? He dedicated his life to creating immortal masterpieces that express truth, goodness and beauty. Because he believes that as long as his soul can be persevering and courageous, and not sink blindly due to misery, he will definitely break through the spiritual shackles and achieve his ideal life. And Tolstoy used his pen to describe that in addition to the darkness of society at that time, his belief in God was his unremitting use of the tip of his pen to sow the seeds of love into the world.

Facing the current peaceful and beautiful society, I should use hard study and rich knowledge to arm myself and move towards a better future.

Notes on reading "The Biography of Famous People"

"The Biography of Famous People" is composed of "The Biography of Beethoven", "The Biography of Michelangelo", and "The Life of Tolstoy," a book composed of three celebrity biographies.

Roman. Roland said: "Open the window! Let the free air come in again! Let us breathe the breath of heroes." For some reason, I feel that this sentence contains a very profound philosophy. Perhaps this is the purpose of the author writing this book. For that era, this work was a good spiritual food.

Before I read this work, I always thought Beethoven was a very lucky man, but I didn’t expect him to be so unfortunate. Yes, his life was rough, and the most unfortunate things in his life happened to him. Think about it as a musician, being deaf, what a tragic thing it is! Moreover, this disease, which is very fatal to musicians, caused him pain that is beyond imagination. However, all the hardships made him stronger: he suffered, but refused to succumb to fate; He is poor, but he neither follows the crowd nor caters to the trend, and always maintains an independent personality; he is lonely, but he can love mankind with a sincere heart; he never enjoys happiness, but he creates and contributes to the world. However, he couldn't hear people's praise for him, nor could he hear some of the excellent works he created.

Beethoven’s bravery, hard work, and persistence were not in vain, because he finally succeeded. He overcame many pains and diseases that we can hardly imagine and endure, and one more thing is that as a musician , the performers on the stage do not have the support, affirmation and favor of the audience. This is undoubtedly a painful pressure and brings a heavy sense of frustration to the soul. However, he still defeated them; his efforts made people all over the world cheer for him; his strength was proved, so in the end he climbed to the top of life.

Roman. Roland once said: "Life is harsh. For those who are not satisfied with mediocrity, life is an endless struggle, and it is often a battle without honor or happiness, carried out silently in loneliness. Sad struggle. "The three celebrities the author writes about are all mediocre people, but they encounter more unimaginable hardships and obstacles than ordinary people. However, they are all people who have bravely stood up from many difficulties, and they are also great men and celebrities who have been forged from various difficulties, and they still do not succumb to the challenges and tests that fate throws at them. The three of them are heroes recognized by the author because they all have the same heroic character: first, they have an indomitable and enterprising spirit; second, they always maintain the dignity of their personality, adhere to the independence of their personality, and neither succumb to power nor blindly The third is to have a philanthropic spirit of caring and loving others, and to be willing to dedicate oneself to the welfare of mankind.

It turns out that celebrities are not as beautiful as we imagined. Perhaps it is because of the many difficulties, obstacles, setbacks and unfortunate fate that they stood up bravely and became celebrities that are praised by generations. ! How much strength, courage, and perseverance they need to overcome such difficult and dangerous difficulties! I admire your strength, courage, and perseverance.

No one dares to say that their life is very lucky. Even the children of wealthy families sometimes find it difficult to choose their own life and ideals, because these have been passed down to them. It was carefully planned and cultivated by parents. Even if they want to succeed, they must have courage and perseverance. After all, a person's success does not happen overnight.

So what are we waiting for? Since we know that we must pay a corresponding price to succeed, why don't we work harder for our ideals, work hard, and keep moving forward? Believe in yourself! Since celebrities are all people who have experienced difficulties and stood up from all kinds of difficulties to succeed, let alone ourselves.

They have all succeeded. They have worked hard and paid for their ideals. At the same time, they also feel extremely happy and joyful when their ideals have been realized. We will surely taste the joy and taste of success like them. What are we waiting for? Come! Come on! Believe that you have to make your own decisions in life! come on! come on! Nothing can overwhelm us, and we will succeed. Believe in yourself! ——Fight for your ideals!

Reflections after reading "The Biography of Famous People"

"The Biography of Famous People" was written by the famous French It consists of "The Life of Beethoven", "The Life of Michelangelo" and "The Life of Tolstoy" by the writer Romain Rolland. They were all created in the early twentieth century and had a wide impact both at that time and in later generations. In these three biographies, Romain Rolland firmly grasps the similarities between these three artists in their respective fields, and focuses on depicting their mental journeys of enduring suffering for a long time in pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty.

Opening "The Biography of Celebrities", there is this passage in the introduction of the first chapter: "The air around us is so heavy. The eldest Europa is unconscious in the heavy and corrupt atmosphere, the vulgar Materialism suppresses thought and blocks the actions of governments and individuals. The society dies in selfishness and selfishness, and mankind cannot breathe. Let the free air come in again! ”

I learned many noble spirits from Beethoven. What I particularly admire is his spirit of tenaciously fighting against fate. Beethoven’s full name is “Ludwig?” Beethoven's childhood was painful. Life was like a tragic and brutal struggle for him. His father was eager to develop his musical talent and used violence to force Beethoven to practice various instruments. When he grew up, misfortune befell Beethoven again: he lost his dearest mother. Beethoven was so grief-stricken that he could only write letters and cry to his friends.

Beethoven's His life is tragic and full of disasters, but why can he still succeed? Why can he do things that normal people can't do? This got me thinking deeply. I think the reason why Beethoven succeeded was because he had extraordinary perseverance and fighting spirit. He had no fear in the face of difficulties. This is the secret of his success. In daily life, when we encounter difficulties, we often think of asking others for help instead of facing the difficulties head-on and making up our minds to solve them. As for Beethoven, because of his weird temper, no one wanted to be friends with him. Therefore, when he faced difficulties, he could only fight alone. Although he was very lonely, he learned something that others could not learn: as long as you give yourself unlimited courage, you can defeat even the most terrifying enemy.

Beethoven, who grew up in hardship, was also lucky. When the French Revolution broke out, Beethoven met Mozart and communicated with each other. Then, he became a disciple of Haydn. Later, Beethoven began to stand out. When Beethoven tasted the sweetness of success for the first time, pain came again. Slowly, the hearing of Beethoven's ears became more and more declining, and his internal organs were also tortured by severe pain. But he still hid it from everyone. , until he could no longer hide it, he wrote to two friends, Dr. Wegler and Pastor Amanda. Beethoven's degree of deafness gradually increased, but he was not completely deaf. It can be said that almost all of Beethoven's works They were all written after he became deaf.

People saw the gaze of genius in Beethoven’s youthful face: from that gaze, people could see his tragic fate. In the years that followed, his character Beethoven, who was too free and violent, was rejected by love more than once. While suffering these physical pains, Beethoven had to endure another kind of pain.

Not only that, his body He also "betrayed" him and suffered from lung disease, arthritis, yellow fever, conjunctivitis, etc. His body became worse day by day. Despite this, he never gave up music. You must know that in the face of such great difficulties, Beethoven But unwavering, how much courage and perseverance this requires!

The boiling of life set off the finale of music. Beethoven longed for happiness; he did not want to believe that his misfortune was incurable: he Desire for healing, he longs for love; he is full of hope. Beethoven fought against fate and eventually became a celebrity. Likewise, we must study hard and be a good student with both good character and academic performance. Beethoven wrote to his brothers in a letter He once said: "Only morality can make people happy, not money."

Romain Rolland called them "heroes" and wrote about their noble courage and struggle against fate in touching words. The great feeling of bearing the suffering of all mankind. So, what can "Celebrity Biography" give us? I believe that only heroic tragedies that overcome suffering can help us endure our cruel fate and work hard to move forward.

In addition to this, the author of this book, Romain Rolland, also wants to tell us something: tragic fate and painful tests not only happen to ordinary people, but also to great people. When we suffer setbacks, You should think of these examples of enduring and overcoming pain, stop complaining, and strengthen your beliefs.

I have already adopted this material by two people. I hope you will be satisfied!
