"It's So Good to Live" is a collection of essays commemorating the 20th anniversary of the modern and contemporary prose master Wang Zengqi. It was personally reviewed by Wang Zengqi's descendants.
This book collects Wang Zengqi's classic prose works on observing scenery, tasting delicious food, remembering old friends, and talking about life, including "The Pursuit of Purity", "The Garden", "Sunday Morning", "A Generation of Ancients", "Duck Eggs on the Dragon Boat Festival" and other famous works. He wrote in the book: "The purpose of writing these articles is to make people think: How good it is to live!"
The book conveys the calm and pure attitude towards life of a generation of masters, their passion for life and their love for the world and all things. I would like to dedicate this book to all those who pursue the beauty, true love and poetry of life.
Reader comments
How wonderful it is to be alive, to have the opportunity to enjoy so many beautiful things in this world.
There are thousands of possibilities in life, but there is nothing when you die.
This book is very beneficial to readers.
"Life is like a dream, but what I invest in is true love. The world loved me first, and I can't help but love it." From Mr. Wang's words, we can see his attitude towards life, just like the title of the book - How good it is to be alive. The more I read, the more I feel that Mr. Wang is a very lovely person. In the lines of words, I can truly feel the joys of the world, big and small. This book seems to have magic. The words about food, hometown, and relatives seem to have real power to drive away my restlessness. In the modern society where mourning culture prevails, this book is more like a refuge. This moment of tranquility and stability gives us space to savor the beauty of life.
Mr. Wang Zengqi, known as the representative figure of the Beijing-style writers, had a smooth sailing in his youth. He studied under Shen Congwen and served as a famous newspaper editor. At the age of 38, he was mistakenly classified as a "rightist", his position was revoked, he was demoted three levels in a row, and then he was demoted. It was not until two years later that he took off his rightist label and began to create the rest of his life. After experiencing all kinds of ups and downs in human relationships, the most common thing he said was "It's good to be alive." His prose was clean and expressive, conveying a transparent and open-minded spirit, revealing his meticulous observation and love for life.
"It's so good to be alive" is the mantra of Mr. Wang Zengqi. As a legendary man whose life has been full of ups and downs, he sincerely expressed this emotion after experiencing thousands of sailings. At the same time, it is also a selected collection of Mr. Wang Zengqi's prose published by Jiangsu Phoenix Literature and Art Publishing House in 2018. This book carefully collects 28 highly regarded and representative prose works by Mr. Wang Zengqi, such as Food from the Four Directions, Food from Hometown, My Father, Mr. Jin Yuelin, Rain in Kunming, etc. Life is very hard, but he adds a layer of sugar coating to it.
To be honest, I didn't expect there would be food at the back! I'm even hungrier now! ! ! !
It's very good. Some scattered daily things are connected together to give me a fresh feeling.
The writing style is delicate and the details are in-depth, which is enough to show the author's profound literary skills. "We use fried rice jars for frying rice and don't use them for other purposes. In many cases, a radish or a hole creates the memory of home." All eight of them. It's winter, probably after the winter solstice. Someone carries a large sieve on his back and holds a long-handled shovel. This is the rice fryer. Sometimes he brings an assistant, probably a half-year-old child, to help him light the fire. You pay a few bucks for a day, or two buckets, or half a stone. As our family has a large population, we fry all the glutinous rice we need for a year. After this season, we can't find anyone who makes fried rice."
Like it very much! Mr. Wang's prose has always been warm and moving. After going through many vicissitudes of life, the old man was calm and indifferent, slowly describing his insights on life and his feelings about the things around him. This collection of essays contains 28 representative essays by Wang Lao. I learned a lot about delicious food, felt the fun in ordinary life, and discovered Wang Lao's attitude towards life. It's great, especially in the current era of rampant consumerism, this book goes against the grain and tells readers to pay attention to the present and be interested in life!
At first I was attracted by the cute and cute title of the book. During the reading process, I was gradually infected by the author Wang Zengqi's open-minded outlook on life. He writes about dog's heart, wintersweet, and goldfish's spitting bubbles. He is like an observer of life, seriously recording what he sees and feels around him. He has neither gorgeous words nor complicated narratives. He just uses the simplest expressions to convey this great wisdom of life. I have never thought that vegetation is cute before, but now I look at the trees outside the window and the potted plants in the yard. It turns out that as long as I feel it with my heart, the leisurely life is everywhere.
The fun is in simple life...
Mr. Wang's writing style is really detailed, and the description of the characters can be learned. The book is also very interesting to read. I was a little confused at first, but after I understood it, I found that the writing was very good.
The teacher described things in great detail, and also described various people. What followed were mostly recommendations for books he liked to read and see, as well as delicacies from various places.
It gives people a feeling of peace of mind, and there is always a kind of silent warmth and tranquility that moisturizes things.
Mr. Wang deserves to be called a master!
Beautiful and exciting
I love you very, very much
Very good. I love listening to it more and more.
Practical and beautiful. I like it.
How did Wang Zengqi know that Zhou Chu could eliminate the three evils? It's impossible.
Okay, okay, you can listen to it in your free time!
