It illustrates that people should be useful people and not be people who only care about dignity but do no good to others. It expresses the author's life ideals and values ????that are not for fame and fortune, but only benefit the society.

Perception and Appreciation

Life is reflected from a peanut. Xu Dishan's pursuit and unique understanding of the meaning of life are the most touching highlights in his works. The main theme of the article is understood and revealed by the "I" in the prose: "People should be useful people, not great and decent people."

Peanuts are buried deep in the soil and are not recognized by others. Peanut makes himself "useful" by his own "sacrifice". "No self" can break the greed for material things, and "self" can actively choose and assume one's own responsibilities, making sacrifice possible. Love has both "self" and "no-self". Love that uses "self" to realize "self-less" has both a broad and compassionate realm.
