I enjoyed reading it thoroughly. It is really a good book. "Mountain Lamp" by Ye Ziqingchen is like a unique star, illuminating rural support education, a field full of love and dedication. With its delicate writing, real emotions and profound social insights, this novel presents readers with a touching journey of teaching. The beginning of the story takes us into a remote mountain village. "The distant mountains are like beasts, swallowing up the last light belonging to the outside of the mountains in one gulp, leaving only an ink that is too thick to dissolve." This description of the environment not only outlines the isolation and backwardness of the mountain village, but also hints at the plight of education here. The protagonist Lin Shunyi, a 25-year-old young man, came to this corner that seemed to be forgotten by the world with his enthusiasm and ideals for education. However, reality poured cold water on him. The stained books, rugged and muddy mountain roads, and dilapidated classrooms all made him deeply feel the difficulty of rural education. But in the dim dusk, the Tsuchiya classroom, the only one with lights on, was like a tenacious star sinking in the sky after a storm, giving him the courage to persevere. In terms of character creation, "Mountain Lantern" is remarkable. Lin Shunyi is a flesh-and-blood character. He has the passion and confusion of young people, as well as his struggle and perseverance in the face of difficulties. When he first arrived in the mountain village, he felt unfamiliar and uncomfortable with everything here, but he did not choose to escape. In getting along with the children, he gradually discovered their innocence and desire for knowledge, which strengthened his belief. In his own way, he worked hard to change the children's destiny and became a bright light in their hearts. In addition to Lin Shunyi, the children in the novel also left a deep impression on people. They live in poor mountain villages. Some parents go out to work and become left-behind children, but they still maintain their love for life and longing for the future. Xiaodong, the girl who ran in the snow, her mother raised her alone. The hardships of life did not erase her optimism. Her desire for knowledge and yearning for the outside world allow us to see the tenacity and hope of children in mountain villages. From the perspective of thematic expression, "Mountain Lantern" is not only a story about rural volunteer education, but also a profound discussion on educational equity, social responsibility and the beauty of human nature. Through Lin Shunyi's teaching experience, the novel reveals the scarcity and imbalance of rural educational resources, allowing us to see the helplessness and sadness of those children who work hard to study in difficult circumstances. At the same time, it also shows the selfless dedication of the volunteer teachers and the concern and support of rural education from all walks of life, conveying a power of warmth and hope. As the author said: "The mud in this book... Is the first lesson we need to learn in the mountains." Rural education is not only the imparting of knowledge, but also the nourishment of children's soul and the shaping of their character. "Mountain Lamp" is a novel worth reading. It allows us to see the hardships and difficulties behind supporting rural education, and also allows us to feel the power of love and hope. It is like a bright light that illuminates our attention and thinking about rural education. It also makes us cherish the current learning opportunities more and pray for and bless those children who are working hard to study in difficult circumstances.
Seriously, this is the best novel I've ever read. Each character image jumps out on the page, the emotions of the characters are very real, the plot connections can be said to be very vivid, and the logic is rigorous, as if writing a real history. The details in the article are already very good, after all, no one is perfect.
It's beautiful, so awesome, and the inner drama is wonderful.
This book is really nice. Saying too much will make people feel insincere. Just look at it and you won't lose money by investing in it.
I haven't seen such a well-written article in a long time.
It is a good work with rich characters and far-reaching ideas.
The stories are linked one after another, and the suspense is closely linked. While making people nervous to explore, the author can also amuse the readers. High!
The author's writing style is like an artist's brush, painting each scene vividly.
The writing is excellent, and every sentence can quietly arouse the reader's emotions and trigger empathy for the characters and events.
It's very interesting. There are many novels that follow the same routine and I'm tired of reading them, but this one really attracted me.
