The day before yesterday was the 130th anniversary of the birth of ***, and I planned to recommend a few related books, but in addition to "Mao Xuan", which is a biography written by someone else, there are only a few back and forth, and the only thing worth recommending is this "Communist Manifesto" that I have read more than 20 times.
In July 1936, in an interview with the American journalist Edgar **, he said that there were three books that had a great influence on him and made him establish his belief in Marxism, one of which was "The Communist Manifesto". If you've read ***'s biography and articles about his reading, you know that the Communist Manifesto is the most read book in his life.
As early as the end of 1939, ** said to his comrades in the party: ".I have read "The Communist Manifesto" more than 100 timesWhen I encountered a problem, I flipped through Marx's "Communist Manifesto", sometimes only one or two paragraphs, sometimes read the whole text, and every time I read it, I had a new inspiration. ”
If you haven't read the book, it's hard to understand why***Every time you read it, you get a new inspiration. In fact, he reads, thinks, and connects with reality with problems, and finds ideas and methods to solve problems from them, rather than gnawing on books. Although I have read it many times, I still don't know how to use it, but I have memorized a lot: "A ghost, the specter of communism, roams the land of Europe......But even reciting it like this is exciting, and it is also very helpful for writing.
If you do writing work in party and government organs and memorize this "Communist Manifesto", you will definitely improve your writing quickly. On the bright side, the text in the book, although somewhat inflammatory, is relatively easy to understandIn terms of propaganda, it can be considered a textbook-level writing guide.
On the other hand, this book is like a righteous knife, stabbing at the bourgeoisie, especially the sentence "The bourgeoisie tore off the veil of warmth and affection covering family relations and turned this relationship into a purely monetary relationship", which made the people at that time awaken.
This naked stake, which is a ruthless money transaction, is thought-provoking even when you read it now. It's the same when you work in a company and your boss keeps painting cakes for you, giving you small favors and making you pay more labor hours. When you think about it, the Communist Manifesto is anything but outdated. Generally speaking, such a book is not only striking at the opposing bourgeoisie, but also at all reactionary and utopian things, and it leaves no room for it.
Of course, the role of the Communist Manifesto is more than that, as a Marxist programmatic document, it has been published for more than 170 years, has been translated and published in more than 200 languages, and it can be said that its influence has spread to all corners of the world. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, when facing many new problems, he read the "Communist Manifesto" many times, thinking while reading, and drawing in circles on the book, reading very seriously.
In 1954, when he re-learned English, he wanted to learn some Marxist-Leninist classics, and the first one he chose was "The Communist Manifesto", which shows that he has read and re-read this book no less than 100 times.
If you also want to take a look at this *** book that you have read more than 100 times, you might as well find a weekend to read it again, maybe you have a deeper understanding, maybe one of the sentences will change your life. Let's start this weekend!
