This book tells the story of a stockbroker with a stable family and a successful career. In his forties, he suddenly gave up everything and ran away from home to pursue his painting dream.
"sixpence" is the material basis of reality, and "moon" is the dream and pursuit beyond reality. The significance of reading this classic novel is probably to think about the proportion of Moon and Sixpence in our hearts.
Dreams and reality can be compatible. When you bend down to pick up sixpence on the ground and raise your head, you can still see the bright moon, which has never been eclipsed by lowering your head. May you have sixpence in your hand and the moon in your heart.
