"Me and the Temple of Earth" is planned to be compiled into Shi Tiesheng's famous prose works "Me and the Temple of Earth", "Albizia Julibrissin Tree", "Autumn Memories", "Love Song of Loess", "Short Notes Under the Wall", "My Dream", "Good Luck Design", "Rotary Asking for Directions", "Missing the Temple of Earth" and novel masterpieces "My Distant Qingping Bay", "Grandma's Star", "Name Like a Piano String", etc. Compared with the previous editions of the same name (the collection of essays "The Temple of Earth and I" and the valuable reading "The Temple of Earth and Me"), this edition will be more conducive and suitable for readers, especially young people, to understand Shi Tiesheng, his creations, and his life, and get enlightenment and education from it.
Reader comments
This book is sincere and emotional, especially the chapter "Me and the Temple of Earth", which reminded me of my grandfather. Although he has limited legs and feet, he always faces life in a positive and optimistic manner. The same is true for Shi Tiesheng. Even though he is disabled, he still insists on writing. This tenacity is admirable. This book is somewhat similar to another work by Shi Tiesheng, "Grandma's Star", both of which make people feel the warmth of family affection and the power of life.
There is a section in the book that describes the imaginary perfect next life. Even if I know in my heart that it is illusory, it can always bring some comfort to the current pain. But after thinking about it, I finally found that this is a fallacy. People are desires themselves, and desires are a bottomless pit that cannot be filled. Therefore, people always suffer from desire, and this is inevitable.
However, we cannot and cannot give up desire, because it is our essence. Without it, we will become walking zombies with lumps in their arms.
In the end, we found that we can only face it, and there is no need to deny it. There is no right or wrong in desire, but there are many forks in the road to pursue it, where human society determines what is right and wrong.
A good way to face up to desire, this is my own feeling after looking at the trees here. Desire makes people painful because it cannot be satisfied. We seem to be distributed on a towering pyramid, our eyes are fixed diagonally above, and we only see the gorgeous and beautiful upward thorns. At that time, desire will turn into a ball of hemp rope, tightly binding the heart, and even binding their next generation with it. But in fact, if you only need to turn your head slightly and look down slightly, you will find that this pyramid turns out to be a Möbius strip. While you are looking at others, someone is also looking at you.
Well written, down to earth and profound. The memories about his grandmother and mother are very touching, interspersed with the ups and downs of modern history, which is quite heavy. I have a better understanding of Mr. Shi Tiesheng's life. There are many insights into his life in this book, which are worthy of everyone's understanding and reflection.
The spirit of living toward death has the love of mother, friends, and grandma to support self-salvation along the way.
I felt a deep loneliness, standing in the void of space. I sank into loneliness and nothingness, looking for a close friend, and finally found it.
The feelings are sincerely revealed, starting from small things, and the author's many regrets are revealed between the lines. It is a very good story about family and friendship.
Grandma is a smart grandma, transparent, competitive, never admits defeat, and suffers all humiliation. She is the epitome of that era.
