Life, be it poplar, willow, grass, or epiphyllum,

In life, whether it's poplars, willows, grass, or short-lived, there are always choices that seem to go with the flow, but in fact are "otherwise." In desperation, I had to endure it silently and then protect it silently.

The unpretentious Lu Yao

I just read Chapter 5, and I feel that in this book, the writing is smooth and the writing is delicate and clear. In short, it is very comfortable to read, like walking on a country road after rain.

Lu Yao

High-end atmosphere and class, low-key luxury and connotation. Unrestrained, foreign style and deep, cool and awesome.

Dreams finally come true

I seem to be a bystander or a protagonist, identifying Gao Jialin's transformation from unemployment to unwillingness to participate in rural labor, and then harvesting girls all over him, but there is no topic; relying on relationships to reach the peak of life, and gaining love and career; in the end, due to love problems, the love career was lost; with the help of people around him, he stepped out of the shadows and finally understood the meaning of life.

Becoming an adult for the first time

We are all growing up for the first time. Some parts of Gao Jialin's story in this book may sound particularly bloody, but it will indeed become a microcosm of the future of countless of us. Who can tell clearly about the temptation of fame and fortune and the impact of morality? While reading the book, I stood in Qiaozhen's position and scolded Gao Jialin for being a scumbag, but was defeated by the various facts listed by Gao Jialin. Yes, everyone just hopes to be better. I only hope that I can learn Zhang Kenan's gentleness and generosity, and I only hope that I can learn Qiaozhen's delicate kindness. After all, loving someone is your business and has nothing to do with him. In addition, when you meet that person who is as good as gold, I hope you will not miss him easily. In the end, facing all the disappointments, you still have to do what Grandpa Deshun said, there is always more happiness and beauty waiting for you.

Life

Mr. Lu Yao's classic work. This book tells the story of the ups and downs caused by the emotional entanglement between Gao Jialin, rural girl Liu Qiaozhen, and urban girl Huang Yaping. It's just like what is said in The Red Mansion: There are some joys in the world of mortals, but you can't rely on them forever. Moreover, there are eight words closely connected with each other: "A fly in the ointment, a good thing is hard work." Each character is full of character. Gao Jialin loves life and dares to challenge fate. Liu Qiaozhen is simple, kind and sincere about love. Huang Yaping is fashionable, romantic, refined and elegant. What impressed me the most was Shunde's conversation with Galin at the end: "Nonsense!" Grandpa Deshun stood up suddenly, "You are only twenty-four years old, how can you have such bastard thoughts? If you said so, I should have died long ago! I, a lonely old man who is almost seventy years old, have nothing to say. I have no children and will be single all my life. But I still feel passionate about living a few more years! Even though I don't have a wife or children, I still feel that life is interesting; I have also worked with these two hands. , Planted grains, planted trees, built roads... Aren't these life interesting? --You young people call it happiness! You guys don't know how... Happy I feel when I pick the fruits from my tree and give them to the children in the village. Bless you! You ate so many of my fruits when you were a kid! You guys don't know, but when I planted a bunch of trees, I thought, after I die, people in the future will pick and eat the fruits from the trees, and they will say that they were planted by the old bachelor Deshun from the village..." ●Although the road of life is long, there are often only a few critical steps, especially when one is young. ●There are many things worthy of love in life. Don't be discouraged just because you are not satisfied with one aspect. Classic works, you can read them several times.

Like it very much 😍

The first time I read this book was from a friend of mine. I was hooked when I read the first chapter, so it took me three classes to read it. Later, I read it many times. I even cried when I saw the part where Gao Jialin and Qiaozhen broke up and got together with others for their careers, and Qiaozhen married Ma Shuan. This book is really good. I hope there will be a second one, but it may not be possible.

reality

This book was recommended by one of our leaders, and he read it when he was at his lowest, so this book helped him climb up from the trough. Gao Jialin's life was so bumpy, he lost his job, lost his beloved, and finally understood the causal relationship in this book. You have to rely on yourself for everything. When making any decision, you must follow your heart and don't lie to yourself.

It was very unpleasant after reading it. I seemed to understand some truths, but I didn't seem to understand them. But the truth that impressed me the most at this time is that as long as a person has the ability and strength, he will definitely get what he deserves, and what he wants is that gold will always shine. Everything depends on cause and effect.

The word "life" is not something you say, but something you get through hard work. You only see other people's brilliant achievements, but have you seen other people's struggles under the lights? Yes, life requires riding the wind and waves and experiencing wind and rain. There will never be big fish in shallow water🐠. It is impossible to see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain! What we need is a life of hard work, not a life of laziness! We are obviously at an age as beautiful as flowers, so why not work hard? --The insights of an 11-year-old girl, absolutely no plagiarism!
