Retreat Notes (2023 Edition)

You can work hard for anything, except if you like it

Like in the author's memories, like in the intersection of Dr. F's memories and dreams, it is elusive but seems to be understood a little bit. For example, the story at the beginning is about love and reality, and there are a lot of discussions. In the end, love loses to reality, and the woman is buried in the discussion. The man does not show up and escapes. What follows is the author's hypothesis of other things. He realized the possibility and realized how much love will lose to reality. From the woman taking off her clothes and restraint to talk about sex with C, why it is shameful, C's statement that if you love you, you should leave for your own good, etc., It is a deep anatomy of love. The profound description of reality is the kind of profound insight that is different every time you read it.

Throughout the whole article, I personally think that the essential theme of "Retreat Notes" is "how to obtain the integrity of one's own soul." There are inevitable differences between people, so we are all lonely existences, yearning for "love" in our hearts; "love" is essentially looking for the other half's lost soul and the other half's lost self in the world, so the desires in our hearts need to return to our own souls. The "traitor" in Kuilin has been waiting for Z's uncle. In fact, when everyone abandoned her, she kept her last voice in her heart by waiting; Z and WR's mothers spent their lives looking for their husbands, but lost themselves; F's lifelong regret is that he can never find N, and he can never find his other half. L embarked on the path of love, but was helpless as the whole society stifled the "human heart and soul"; as for C, even though everyone tried to deny his equal rights, he never gave up his desire and was always looking at the news that the other half belonged to him; the reason why O was frustrated three times in love was actually because she had never given up on him. In the past, they have only placed their love on others, but ignored that love actually belongs to their own heart and soul and has nothing to do with others; they desire the nobility of the soul, but they ignore that the real nobility never comes from the worship of others, but the shaping and perseverance of one's own spirit; what is the problem that traps WR? How can it be truly difficult? Shape and interpret your own heart and beliefs... Because we are all born different, all the questions in the world ultimately instruct travelers to find the truth of their unique self in the unity of the world, collect impressions in desires and inner hopes to form their own lives, find love in loneliness, and finally return to themselves and gain the integrity of the soul.

I am a quasi-junior high school student, and I have liked Tiesheng very much since I read "Retreat Notes". I also searched a lot of information about Tiesheng on the Internet, just like C in this book. Although he is not him, I believe there must be his shadow. Tiesheng's writing style is very good, which is my favorite type. I was very touched by his friendship with Teacher Yu Hua. F and N, Z and WR... The experiences of these characters are thought-provoking. I am still young and have definitely never been in love, but I can try to understand most of the content. The ending of F and N really made me [cry] [cry] The couple that impressed me the most [cry] Tie Sheng discussed a lot of content, fate, love... I think I will gain more from reading in the future [almost crying] Although it is a pity that Tiesheng passed away forever on the last day of 2010 [cry] [cry] I was not born at that time [almost crying] I really wanted to see him, but it was impossible for me to see him [cry] In fact, if you think about it, This is the tenth day I like him [Crying] Tiesheng is really good, his writing is excellent, and he is also humorous, otherwise teachers Yu Hua and Mo Yan would not forget him [Crying] This is the first time to post such a long book review. Although Tiesheng will never reply to me, I still want to express it, hoping that I can meet him in the next life, okay [Almost crying] Let me meet him, he is always worth it, and I will read his other works in the future [Almost crying] I didn't expect that so few people would read it. This book is full of philosophical thoughts and is a good book worth reading [Love] [Love] Amway Tie Sheng to the whole world [Love] [Love]

The deepest emotions touch every lovesick person. In the vast universe, reality and reality are interdependent, and exploration is endless...

This book is very inspiring. Shi Tiesheng uses his unique writing style to make us think about the meaning of life. The two children in the book left a deep impression on me. Their innocence and innocence made me feel the beauty of life. This reminds me of the little prince in "The Little Prince". They all look at the world from a child's perspective and guide us to re-examine life. All in all, this is a great book worth reading!

Words floating in the sky Thoughts that drift further and further away

Life is so messy, but it seems like it should be this way

Shi Tiesheng's spiritual autobiography was pieced together from the fragments of his life. Through symbolic characters such as painter Z, doctor F, and disabled person C, a web of destiny is constructed - everyone is a knot on the web, and due to the intertwining of choices and opportunities, they eventually lead to different possibilities. This narrative strategy allows T to be split into N and O, and WR to be split into Z and L. The disassembly and reorganization of all characters point to more essential philosophical questions. The repeatedly described sunflowers, mother's watching back, and companionship in illness have all become metaphors for understanding suffering and love. Shi Tiesheng took his notebook and pen, hid in the corner of the altar, and wrote a parable of life and death - "When the morning glories first bloom, the funeral horn has already sounded." He explores self, desire, existentialism, and thinks about how destiny extends and continues. Different from the pursuit of a complete story in traditional novels, this book pays more attention to the "virtual" reality. As Shi Tiesheng said: I am not equal to my impressions, but all my impressions constitute me. In this philosophical poem about memory and existence, he used words to complete his ultimate philosophical thinking on the meaning of life.

Very good, I'm still reading. Reading is the only light in my barren life, and the other one is chasing stars.

The true meaning of love, the association of family affection, and the rise of the times. I think this book can really be read from these three aspects, but it is not limited to three aspects. The environment described by Mr. Tiesheng really made me feel that I was there and unforgettable. The people on each page have distinct personalities. The sorrow of the times is not our sorrow, but the sorrow of the times will surely come to our sorrow.

This article can arouse readers' thinking by describing the thoughts, behaviors and outcomes of men and women in different circumstances when faced with "love", an indefinable and indescribable thing. For me, although I have never experienced love, I read from the book: Everyone is in the torrent of the times. We are affected by the times and coerced by the environment. Can we have "the love we pursue"? Maybe we think we can, but is that really the case? Combined with the contradictions in marriage and love in today's society, I think this issue is worth thinking about. ——Complete reading on 2026.05.28

Chaotic, unable to distinguish between reality and fiction, nihilistic, drowned together with loneliness. Blurred, intertwined, and overlapping, whose fate is this? A moment, a crossroad, different choices, create different results, different lives, and bear the price. The more I think about it, the heavier it becomes. I am always looking for it, and I lose the present. What emerges in front of me is the shadow of the past, marked with a mark, and it returns to pain again. What you try your best to get is not what you want most. What you try your best to hide is your deepest secret.

The shock is beyond words. Following the darkness and optimism of "The Temple of Earth and Me". Enjoy all the thoughts of this great writer Shi Tiesheng

2026.3.23 Night In fact, the process of liking this book is quite strange. I learned a text at that time, which happened to be a short section of this book. Maybe it was because of the Internet. The learning atmosphere at that time was really bad, and the teachers were deeply affected by it. Over time, it was put away (I didn't learn much as expected). In order to make my mother think that I studied seriously in school, I bought it. Of course, as expected, it was put on the table. Hui, maybe I was really busy and panicked at the time, but then I got out of control. This book was the literary enlightenment at that time. Now in my second year of junior high school, I still like Shi Tiesheng's healing writing style^-^ (I am reading "Crime and Punishment" now, maybe because I don't read many foreign books. Except for This is How Steel is Tempered, I always feel that I can't remember anything after reading it? I don't know if you are all adjusted?)

The book is very good. I think it can stimulate people's imagination and has a sense of pictures.

It's not a traditional novel, but I just love reading it [crying]

I don't quite understand, but I've read it

With a very unique writing perspective, the theme of life and death is once again portrayed in a novel way.

It's beautiful, meaningful, full of mystery and endless reverie.

Fairy tales are lies without an ending...

His writing is as broad as a rafter, his writing is as delicate as his writing, and his imagination is open and free. He is worthy of being a literary master! Like!

Very beautiful and worth recommending.

The stories in the book are exciting and a good reading experience

The writing is good and the abstract description is worth reading and pondering over and over again.

The book is touching and sad

Beautiful, so beautiful

Nice, good book

Looks good, very good

I finished reading it intermittently, 23 hours and 59 days
