At the beginning of the book, Sun Shaoping was a poor rural student who could not afford to eat "C"; at the end of the book, Sun Shaoping was an ordinary coal miner with a disability. From the beginning to the beginning, Sun Shaoping was not able to escape from the so-called "social bottom." But when I often think of "ordinary world", think of Sun shaoping This ordinary person, the character's self-esteem all make me ashamed.
Junior high School in the reader saw the "morning from noon". The father of this sentence infinite emotion, think it summed up their previous generation of life trajectory. I was fascinated by the various preparations made by the author of this article, Lu Yao's, who wrote "The Mundane World". For the first time I knew that in order to write a novel, I had to live alone for several years in a wilderness, to read through ten years ' newspapers, to record various events (later known as the so-called "doing"), and to skim the newspaper into the fingers to expose the capillaries. These things that sound so hard that they are absurd are of great appeal to me. To this day, I still to this by Wang Xiaobo described as "anti-entropy process", people for a certain thing is not common sense of attachment, has a strange affection.
The book was finally read the other day.
Frankly speaking, this book has a lot of places I do not like: the author imposed on the character of the speech, there is no end-of-life feelings, Sun shaoping and Tianxiaoxia good inexplicable, Tianxiaoxia death and Sun shaoping urinary incontinence; aliens, et cetera. Even the body of every person can find a character that is not pleasing to my liking.
But the book eventually attracted me, and to a certain extent, changed me. This is because it has a fascinating beginning, and more importantly, it teaches me to recognize the self-esteem of an ordinary person.
Sun Shaoping in material life is embarrassed, in the Spirit is lonely (Tianxiaoxia is only the author's wishful thinking)--but I have never seen any one in their lives, able to treat his own spiritual world as seriously as he does.
Over the years, it seems to have been surrounded by various praises. But now a think of Sun shaoping, as waking up like a dream to his own spiritual home of the barren and poor.
My heart Sun Shaoping, is a "fastidious" people, in the ordinary life situation, to their own spiritual world is still meticulous. Compared with him, the domineering "successful people" are mostly living like animals.
The Confucian doctrine of "prudence alone" is the moral self-discipline when there is no supervision. and Sun Shaoping's spiritual pursuit, but also in the case of no one to appreciate the personal choice. His surroundings were not an environment in which he could appreciate and reward him, nor did he, like many "lovers of books", revel in his talent and show his taste as a peacock, and he did not even learn from the pure love of his profession. He is meticulous in the spiritual world, simply because he regards himself as a noble person to respect and love heartily, instead of treating himself as an animal, scrawled, or as a social role: "White-collar", "X-Total", from these roles to seek intimidated, reasonably well sense of accomplishment.
Such an attitude is more powerful than any word, and such a noble person is more surrendering than any social role. Society is popular with a person's social status to judge his quality; I also have many friends who are prone to praise the "achievements" or "tastes" of others. I always felt that I could not be with them, and could not accept the value, because I have seen the people like Sun Shaoping, I would like to believe that such people exist. One can be independent of success or failure, independent of the secular value judgments, independent of other people's criticism of the Zang, and their own respect for themselves, to be a noble person.
I am not satisfied with what I have been doing all the time. But what the ordinary world teaches me is one of the few places where I am proud of myself.
