Reading Cai Chongda's books can always make you feel calmer and less impetuous. For the first time, I read two books in one go, and it tasted like spiritual food. The heart is sad but not sad, happy but not laughing wildly. Destiny is not forced to change, but born by oneself. Very good book!
I read it in one breath, with tears in my eyes, and my heart ached, and occasionally I burst into tears with laughter. One old friend after another, one story after another, one life after another, the reincarnation of life and death continues. The plain words, the rustic atmosphere, and the stories of ordinary people make the readers' souls tremble.
This is a book that is like the moment of pause when being forced to move forward by the crowd, like the white chrysanthemum among the flowers, like the morning star in the sea of thousands of stars. Live a different life in the ordinary and have the same experience.
It took me a week to read it carefully. I really couldn't control my tears in the second half. Life is always unpredictable and fate is unpredictable, but I can't help but be moved by certain people and things. I have read "Skins" before, and now everyone in the book feels as if I have met an old friend again, and I am still shocked. Life is full of waves, and maybe we all have to work hard to find our own ballast.
Every sentence is ordinary, but every sentence touches people's hearts. This book is full of extremely gentle people, the grandfather who walks the streets for his daughter, the mother who works hard to live for her daughter, and the family who strives to make each other live better. Everyone lives for the one they love. Although life is hard, their hearts are as sweet as sweet potatoes. Atai, who believed in fate but did not compromise with it, did not have any children of her own, but she did have descendants. This was a gift from the gods, and perhaps it was also a joke played by fate on her. There has never been separation between life and death in this world, but people from heaven have come and people from heaven have gone back.
It is really a memoir of Atai's ninety-nine years of life experience. Simple, true, and unpretentious. His relationship with Yang Wanliu was the most touching. When I read those passages, I deeply felt that Wanliu's feelings for Atai were so sincere, so pure, and so affectionate. Although they didn't exchange many words, their hearts were always close to each other. Although A Tai was predicted to die without any children or grandchildren, in the end, so many children and grandchildren accompanied her until the end. Her fate was so magical. Born in an era of constant change, everyone's destiny is different, everyone's life is miserable, and everyone has a miserable side in their heart. What we really need to do is to face the various ups and downs of life, to have a calm heart, to have no desires and desires, to be pure in heart, and to let nature take its course is the highest state.
This book explains life and death to you, allowing you to see more thoroughly, allowing you to appreciate the local customs and understand the southern Fujian culture better. And the text inside is very deep, which is different from the current online novels. There are many sentences that can be excerpted, which are worth savoring. You won't regret reading this book. Trust me, you will learn a lot after reading it again.
Reading a book is like looking into a mirror and reviewing a book, or asking questions about one's heart; this book allowed me to experience another person's life immersively. After reading it, it felt like I had lived an extra lifetime and had this wonderful feeling for the first time. Thanks to Mr. Tsai Chong-tat for describing Atai's life in such a witty and humorous way, which includes happiness, suffering, humanity, and touching feelings. It also allowed me to truly understand the optimistic meaning of life for most compatriots in the coastal areas (I know many coastal friends). The innate geographical advantages of the coast have nurtured a group of lovely people with big minds!
Atai fought tenaciously and hard against fate throughout his life, but bowed to fate because of love. He used his small but great life to bloom the most brilliant and beautiful flowers in this world. This is a book that touches my heart. It makes me sad but also warm, makes me calm but turbulent, makes me brave to accept suffering but afraid of bitterness. It makes me know that love is always there. Everything we say, do and think about the world can be seen and heard. It makes me want to feel the world with my heart, listen to every plant and tree, and love this endless cycle of reincarnation. I also want to live my life with the same heart as Tai, live well now and die well in the future. Finally, I would like to say thank you to the author, thank you, your wife and your family!
This is a book worth reading. How a person comes to this world and how he leaves this world can be answered in books. Know where you come from, know how to live in this life, choose the decisions you want to make, and know what you will face after death... Gods and ancestors, if you believe in them, they exist. They are guiding the lost. Destiny is unpredictable, you can't tell what will happen in the next second. But if you want to do bad things, remember that your ancestors and gods are watching over you from heaven. People are like melons. When they are ripe, they die. The author writes really well.
A very wonderful book that depicts the life course of several generations from Atai's perspective and describes the changes of a small town in southern Fujian, China over the past century. Everyone in the story is a shining individual and everyone is kind, but I still can't forget the transparency of the goddess. When we always blindly criticize feudal superstition and oppose the worship of gods, we forget that it is the gods who save us when the human inner world is barren and desolate. The last glimmer of hope bloomed through the cracks in life amidst suffering. They want to tell us - the dead will die well and the living will live well. They told us not to bow to the so-called fate, but to have the courage to fight, even if there is only a glimmer of chance left. Watching the small family of five slowly expand and continue to be passed on to future generations. Atai has struggled with the saying "You are destined to have no children, no grandchildren, no one to die" all her life, and it is this belief that supports her to continue to create one hope after another. Finally, Atai brought the struggle to an end. As the saying goes, people who come from heaven return to heaven. Please remember that destiny is your dearest child, get along well with her.
It's beautiful, I was really moved by it. I seem to have found the motivation to continue living in this book and "The Temple of Earth and Me". This book is so good! ! Since I suffered from depression and anxiety, I have rarely been able to watch a good work, whether it is a movie, TV series or short video. I am constantly anxious. I don't know what I am anxious about. Many of them are small things. And there is nothing that can arouse my emotions, it is always light. After watching "Destiny" and "The Temple of Earth and Me", I felt the richness of emotions again. I want to live a good life, because I also want to beat fate, I want to compete with fate. I don't want to just accept my fate, but I also want to write my story well so that I can share it with everyone like Cai Yehao said. Maybe you can't understand any great truth, and you don't have any feelings. But everyone is willing to listen to these stories together, and it's good to survive. This is the first time I write such a detailed book review, this is a good book! ! My language is really limited. I am very grateful that I came across such a good book. [Love][love]
I listened to it in one breath. It is really worth reading. There are many good sentences in it, such as "There is never separation in this world, and there is no separation in death. This world is just that people from heaven come, and people from heaven return to heaven."
This is a book worth reading many times and you will learn a lot. There are many tears in the book, such as every telegram sent by Yang Wanliu, the departure of the village chief and Beilai, the relationship between the younger sister and the elder sister, the open-mindedness of the goddess... Everyone has a different view on death. From the moment when a person is plucked as a seed, to the moment when it becomes a fruit and falls, every growth and break of a branch during this period is destiny. Atai's mother was always protected, but later she was unable to prepare for her true fate. Before his death, Atai's grandfather regarded death as a burst of fireworks. Death can be beautiful. Goddess Cai Yehao takes a dim view of death. Rather than being bearish, it is better to say that she lives every day seriously and always helps others under the guise of a god. Atai has also been living tenaciously. The death of Grandpa Sweet Potato is said to be the ripening of the melon, which is a kind of completion for him. Everything has its spirit, what we have to do is to make our skin a useful skin and let destiny flow through like a stream.
In my opinion, this book is quite healing. The characters in it have a thorough understanding of life and death, and they don't get into trouble. Atai's mother-in-law, that goddess, I don't know if she can really see God, but that's not important. The key is that she has a belief and can convey this belief to others, so that others can have faith to support themselves and live in confusion and despair. Then she is a real goddess. Human life is ups and downs, and so is Auntai. She cannot have children, but she has children who are like her own children. A Tai lives for them, and they also live for A Tai. This is really a very happy thing. No matter how hard the life is, they can survive. Atai has been fighting against fate. Fate is like a naughty child. The stronger you are, the smaller it becomes. A Tai was angry with fate, and sometimes she accepted it, like when she asked her husband to marry someone else because she could not have children. She hoped that he could have children of his own, and she complied with the goddess's original words. A Tai also won. She lived an ordinary but extraordinary life. In the end, she had a big family to say goodbye to her, so she didn't end up without any children or anyone to see her off.
The most satisfying book ever! It is no exaggeration to say that after reading this book, I felt as if I had watched Atai's life, as if I had experienced Atai's life myself. The protagonist's life experience is very exciting.
Real life, a person's whole life goes by like this, with regrets, sadness, and growth... Maybe there really is a destiny. A Tai spends his life healing, experiencing life and death again and again...
The whole book revolves around the word "destiny". It is real, vivid, meaningful, and not boring at all, giving readers a strong sense of involvement. My favorite sentence in it is, from now on, you have no past, only the future.
This is a work about roots. Destiny life touches the softness deep in the heart.
It is very beautiful. There are tears, life, faith, and the flower of life growing on the cliff in this book. People who are confused and depressed in life can read hope and new flowers from this book.
Describing the truest feelings in simple words is like listening to an old man slowly describing her ordinary but extraordinary life. The writing is very real and touching, as if I am standing in the long river of time watching this scene happen, but there is nothing I can do. I can only watch, struggle in my heart, and be angry with fate. I must surpass him and rob him. Only in this way can I see a little hope, which is the so-called living is to fight for a breath. As the author said, fate is like a naughty child. The more fragile you are, the more energetic it becomes, the more sad you are, the happier it is, and the stronger you are, the smaller it becomes. Everyone has a ballast stone in their heart. Without that stone, the ship will capsize and the sea will take you away. Only by finding the thoughts in your heart can you have the meaning and motivation to live.
The words written by the author are both true and sentimental. They were obviously different experiences, but they gave me the same empathy. I was healed but felt depressed at the same time. Perhaps words full of emotions always easily pierce the readers' hearts. I'm glad I read this book at an age when I can do anything. It allows me to spend more time with my family.
Ah ah ah is a really good book. The life of the protagonist is really hard, but there is also joy in the suffering. A Tai has a husband who loves her, a mother-in-law who dotes on her, a sister who loves her, and three filial and lovely children. I just feel that A Tai's life is quite tiring, especially when the three children died one after another. ! The protagonist's family are all great people, but it's so hard. Destiny I don't know if everyone's destiny is arranged. I am not a goddess in the book and I don't have the ability to talk to the gods, but it's not bad to take everything seriously and make a serious decision so that I can stick to it. There is nothing important in life except death. As long as you live, you can overcome every obstacle. I hope I can persevere in the future.
The word "destiny" is too heavy. The book "Destiny" writes a thorough understanding of life: live seriously, love well, and accept calmly. A grain of ashes from the times may fall on an individual and become a mountain, but one must still be brave enough to look forward. A book worth reading [Like][Like][Like]
In the age of turbulent waves, my life has been so turbulent and wandering, sending away one generation after another. I am worthy of being a soul ferryman. The story continues because life continues!
I almost finished reading this book in one sitting. Life and Qiuyuan have the same purpose. The sadness of the little people made me cry for a while. I was also moved by A Tai's sincere love. Atai has never bowed to fate in his life, and neither should we.
After reading the novel, I saw the fate of several generations from Atai's mouth. Atai has experienced a lot in his life, which is long and tortuous. However, Atai did not bow to the so-called "fate", but lived a brave, strong and brilliant life. As the book says, we are the mothers of our own destiny after all. Therefore, a brilliant life is not afraid of ups and downs.
It is very interesting. It narrates the life and death of each character in the story in plain and simple language, with sincere emotions. It had to make me think about the word "life" again. After reading this book, the biggest insight I have, in the words of the article, is "how the rivers of destiny of each person in the world gurgling in and out, until they merge into the ultimate ocean of death."
The text is very smooth and the story is very smooth. I like it very much. There are times in life that must eventually come true, Don't force it when it comes to operation. What a wonderful life, So many stories and a great house!
There were laughs and tears, it was so well written. I am crying while writing a book review, Tai. I don't know what words to use to express my inner respect. Life is indeed difficult. I hope we can find inner joy in our destiny.
