The mission is passing by,
So expensive. .
good
Fortunately, okay, Kung Fu Master's evil instructor revealed
Although I haven't read Maugham's works, I feel very good about myself.
Needless to say, when I first made my acquaintance with Charles Strickland, I saw nothing remarkable about him. However, most people now recognize his greatness. The greatness I am talking about is not the kind of greatness earned by politicians who have prospered in officialdom or soldiers who have made meritorious services and received awards, because the greatness of these people is only related to their status and has nothing to do with their personal character.
A writer who can tell stories, Maugham
It was entirely because of the play I watched tonight by Zhao Lixin and Mr. Huang that I returned to this place a year ago. Starting from the Moon and Sixpence🌙, I re-examine this writer Maugham who is very good at telling stories. He brought us a road that is rarely traveled and specially forged for genius. Strickland exists as a destructive painter. If you sublimate it to the level of an artist, you will find that the type of person he represents. The series of unusual attitude arrangements developed in his actions cannot be unrealistically promoted by the public. Because most people imagine that they can live gracefully in this world, which raises a question about the realist idealism it represents. We are all people who bury their heads in search of sixpences, but only a few enlightened people will bloom like an epiphyllum in a whole century. The real public only wants to pick it when they accidentally raise their heads and are tired from looking for coins and suddenly see the moon. But most people lack the courage to go against their conscience. What is conscience? According to Somerset Maugham, it is the gatekeeper of the soul who is the policeman of a person's thoughts and morals. When any of his words, deeds or thoughts deviate from the etiquette norms set by the social collective, he will be reprimanded by it and persuade himself to believe that the power of the collective is greater than the power of one person's actions, and then return to the original track. He will even be secretly glad that he made a very correct decision in the final moment of ideological competition.
