It will be difficult to understand at first, but once you calm down and read it, it will become more interesting. It is completely different from fast food books that satisfy the senses! Reading Wang Xiaobo's books will help you think deeply and discover the essence of things!
I often see this book in bookstores, and I read it on a whim today. I am reminded of a saying, "Since we have come to this world, let's have fun." However, there is no way to play in the arranged life. As soon as a person is born, his life trajectory is set early. I hope we all break out of our inhibitions. Maverick.
Hello, Wang Xiaobo!
I like your imagination, your uniqueness, your sarcasm, your passion and romance. Freedom is the most beautiful word, the most beautiful value, and the interpretation of your life.
Be a free person--[A maverick pig]
"A Maverick Pig" tells the story of the author's time as an educated youth who went to work in the countryside. There is a special mention of the story of a "pig". I was attracted by this topic at first, and I couldn't help but wonder what a special pig this was. It was unexpected that the famous Wang Xiaobo took it out and wrote it. After reading this book, I seem to understand somewhat. This pig is really special. It can learn various sounds and doesn't like to stay in the pig pen like other pigs. It likes to wander around. It's not afraid of people at all. The whole farm had nothing to do with him. The author probably yearns to be that pig, or the life that the pig lives is the life that the author desires most. The author, like the pig, longs to lean between heaven and earth and live a free and unrestrained life. It is a way of life that returns to nature and origin. Nowadays, most of us are like ordinary pigs, going about our work step by step every day, like zombies. We have long forgotten what we really want, and we numbly arrange our schedule every day. I think everyone should think deeply about how we want to live our lives? Who do we really want to be? What are you doing, gentlemen?
Seeing things that most people can't see, I wonder if I will be lonely
In fact, Wang Xiaobo's own character traits lead to a good level of understanding of life. However, most of the chapters in this book do not describe his understanding of life, but are more about evaluation and micro opinions. It seems that he is petty and fussy. By writing in a correct and non-ironic way, perhaps we are more aware of the knowledge he imparts. It's a pity that his attitude and views on life are excellent, but it inevitably reveals his inner arrogance and jealousy. He played the maverick character in his true character, but was abruptly transformed into Pride and Prejudice by himself. After staying up all night to read it, I didn't feel very good, but it is undeniable that he is a funny and humorous person.
A maverick pig
After reading it, sometimes I feel a little envious of the maverick pig in the book. It understands life and doesn't care about other people's opinions, but it understands everything. It only wants to be very selfish and wants to be happy, while people have to live under countless shackles and cannot break free. Every step has a box that limits you.
I envy the maverick pigs and hate the same people.
A good book that is both forward-looking and thoughtful.
Wang Xiaobo's thoughts are so forward-looking that it is hard to believe that he was born in the last century. The issues discussed in this book are still valuable for thinking today. Will make people think
People without a sense of history will always live in nothingness!
