Illustrated Broken Pen: Illustrated Collector's Edition

We value the day too much and ignore the night too much. At least half of life is in the night - in the dead of night, the mind is still rushing and wandering. What's more, a person who walks clearly on a sunny day is likely to be struggling in the darkness and confusion of the soul, and the ratio between night and day is therefore even more disparate. Seeing the eternity of suffering is really God's mercy - only in this way can we truly get rid of our obsession and believe that love is the only salvation for mankind. This love is not only friendly, compassionate, and helpful to others, it is basically your own blessing. This love is not giving alms from a high position, but looking up humbly, accepting suffering, and thus moving towards spiritual transcendence.

"People can go to heaven, but they cannot go to heaven. Going means the establishment of the other shore. Going to it means the disappearance of the other shore? The disappearance of the other shore means the end of faith and the abandonment of salvation. Therefore, heaven is not a space, not a physical existence, but a road, a constant journey of the spirit." "Suppose you do reach heaven, then what? Then, looking at nothing or looking at something else proves that the place you arrive is not perfect, and if you go to it forever, you will be in its light at any time."

Shi Tiesheng's inspirational work that heals the soul. This book was written after Shi Tiesheng suffered from uremia. Due to the impact of the illness, his thinking about life became more profound and full of philosophical thoughts. From Shi Tiesheng's words, I feel his strong and broad-minded heart. As long as the soul is not injured, people still have hope. Even if there is pain at the moment, will can make people get out of torture. The book discusses a lot of content, including human nature, love, destiny, etc. Each article is full of Shi Tiesheng's emotions and wisdom and is thought-provoking.

Shi Tiesheng was a man with a disability but a strong will. His works reveal a powerful vitality and a force against fate. "Broken Pens in the Sickness" is a collection of essays by the writer Shi Tiesheng. Shi Tiesheng uses his own unique perspective and writing style to describe his life, life and world, presenting a profound thinking and reflection on life, showing readers the preciousness and shortness of life, as well as the impermanence and helplessness of life. At the same time, he expressed his unique views on life and the world through his own thinking and insights, allowing readers to resonate and think while reading.

Most of them are incomprehensible, and knowing a thing or two about them is of great help to me. Many of them are things I had never imagined, and they opened one door after another for me.

He used his incomplete body to write the richest thoughts and the most moving words. This book is a long philosophical prose by Shi Tiesheng. It is full of profound life experiences and is hailed as the most important harvest of Chinese literature in 2002. The author devotes his life to pouring his years in a wheelchair and hospital bed into words, using words to achieve self-healing and redemption. Starting from the confusion and pain of life, it examines the world and era in which it exists, allowing readers to gain spiritual comfort and rekindle their hope in life.

Shi Tiesheng used his mutilated body to express the most authentic flow of his heart. He regarded illness as a special life experience, and he regarded the place of punishment as a place of tempering. He experienced the suffering of life, expressed the clarity and joy of existence, and wrote profound insights. Being named human is already a limitation. The physical body is born to be an obstacle to the soul, otherwise how could ideals arise... Human nature originally contains two possibilities: divinity and demonic nature, and Mr. Faust is always there. I am who I am. I am a limitation. People have a bad habit of remembering bad luck and not having too much luck, and forgetting quickly. This is really unkind and unfair to the gods. Finally, I realized: In fact, we are lucky every moment, because any disaster may be preceded by the word "more". Literature and art have always been searching for something deeper, of course the depths of the human heart... Therefore, Van Gogh is the "sunflower", Beethoven is "fate", and Nietzsche is "thus said" Meaning is not given innately, but is obviously established in the future. In other words, life is meaningless, we make it meaningful, it is "I" who make life meaningful. The meaning of life is not to be sought outwardly, but to be established inwardly. Spiritual love is a dream, a wish for happiness, boundless, especially the possibility of breaking through boundaries and limitations, and a remedy for incompleteness... Love is not within reach or out of reach. It is expectation that makes it born, words that make it exist, and faith that makes it immortal... Hell and heaven are both in the world, that is, disability and love, that is, original sin and salvation.

Shi Tiesheng will always be the writer I admire the most. I am really deeply moved by his perseverance and hopeful spirit. How can I tell you that Shi Tiesheng's books and articles always have an upbeat and positive attitude. Even in the darkest moments, he never chose to give up. Moreover, he also met many close friends and his beloved wife. In a sense, God took away his legs, but also gave him many things. Knowledge Suffering never deserves to be praised, but it is always the indomitable human beings that deserve to be praised!

This book is like a record of Shi Tiesheng's thoughts on the sick bed. He discussed many profound issues about life, faith, and spirit. Some sentences in the book impressed me deeply, such as "People can go to heaven, but they cannot go to heaven." This sentence made me understand that the process of pursuit is more important than the result. Shi Tiesheng uses his words to lead us to think together, allowing us to cherish the present more and explore the meaning of life. I think this is a book worth reading and it can bring a lot of enlightenment to people.

Human beings are the endless communication, the carrier of passion, the migration of incompleteness towards perfection, the unattainable confusion of perfection and the thoughts and realizations that come with it, and the never-ending desire. So all earthly names can be erased, And "I" will not die.

"Straight to the soul", the language description of the article is particularly delicate. (You may have to read it again to understand and digest it better)
