In the postscript of this book, the bright moon tells a lot about his feelings when reading history and writing. According to the author, almost all the historical stories he has read have tragic endings.
considering our history, it can be said that this is true.
"Everyone's rise and fall are decades for him, but only a few pages for me. He was awesome on the previous page, but he was embarrassed on the next page. " This is probably the truest feeling in the author's heart.
I looked at the seven books on my desk, which were not very thick-the three hundred years from the founding of the Ming Dynasty to its demise were presented on these few thousand pages. Three hundred years, 19,575 days and 2,629,8 hours, as well as the 16 emperors of the Ming Dynasty and the prosperity and decline of the Ming Empire, are all in these seven books. The fate of some famous people, the ups and downs of each of them for decades, is really only a few pages. For example, Chang Yuchun, the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, volunteered since the Taiping War and participated in all the major battles for the establishment of the empire in the following years. After the northern desert won a great victory, the squad returned to the DPRK and died of sudden illness when passing through Liuhe River, only forty years old. Even this dazzling fuses iconic, described in this book, is only a few pages.
Like an inescapable spell, no matter who is born, it is doomed to death. Everyone can't escape the disappearance, the dynasty can't escape the collapse, and the earth will die one day because of the death of the sun. Think again, in fact, isn't destruction the beginning of a new life?
When we went to Qiu Lai in the spring, we finally grasped a power in this vicissitudes of life-this is the process of being able to control our own lives. Yes, how to control the process of life and deduce the wonderful things that belong to you is the right of each of us. Maybe every life can't decide its shape at birth-maybe I'm a flying bird, maybe I'm a swimming fish, maybe it's like this now ... But we can decide our attitude and way of joining the WTO: a bird will soar in the sky with its wings, or a fish will swim into the sea and leap to the dragon gate ... Every living body will put its limited life into infinite excitement to impact the limit of life.
in the face of ultimate destruction, the only thing we can rely on is that process. We must fully decorate and enjoy this wonderful process with a hundred times of energy. Mao Zedong said that "all kinds of frost and sky compete for freedom". What I see is that every individual enjoys the value and joy of freedom in the process of life.
Perhaps this is the true meaning of life-to create and experience a wonderful process in a unique way!
We like history. What we like is his colorful storyline and his thought-provoking historical phenomenon. You have to understand that historians are human beings, and people have feelings. Therefore, historians must be able to bend the pen, and the difference is only the degree. Since we can't restore the first scene of history, why don't we look forward?
what kind of ideal we have, what kind of person we will become, and everyone has the right to choose their own lifestyle. Some people may say that the reality is so cruel that I have to give up my ideals, but I want to say that it is precisely because the reality is so cruel that we should not give up our ideals! It is precisely because of it that we keep a warmth, a belief and a spirit of never giving up in this biting reality. Supporting us all the way.
