Dong Yuhui's "small composition" incident has finally come to an end, and the mother-in-law can finally rest assured, it is estimated that Dong Yuhui is the youngest vice president of New Oriental since its establishment, it seems that Yu Minhong has completely figured it out this time, and the company must adapt to the new business model.
Dong Yuhui said during the live broadcast, "I never understand why everyone likes me, I am not good-looking and tall."
Someone sighed, "I like Dong Yuhui because of his simplicity and truthfulness, and he uses his talent to make people believe that reading is useful, hard work is useful, and kindness is useful!."
He said that when he was at a low point, he relied on reading to relieve his mood at that time. And when it came to the turning point, he found that the books he had read before were all useful. When you encounter difficulties in life, you can go to the book to find the answer, because someone must have encountered it, or even more serious, and he may have successfully solved it, and we can learn from it.
The purpose of reading books is not to achieve much, but to give you an inner strength when you are beaten back to the original shape and fall into the quagmire by life, and the small world built by your own reading can give yourself some support and dispel your own suffering with compassionate gentleness.
Today, I will sort out the classic books recommended by Dong Yuhui in the live broadcast room.
01."Alive".
Dong Yuhui said about "Alive": If a person can finally reconcile with himself and find the courage to survive in his own painful and long years, this is in itself a picture full of extremely beautiful pictures.
I read this book for the first time when I was in college, and it was quite worrying, how could anyone live so miserably?After reading it, I couldn't slow down for several days.
The charm of a classic is that no matter how many years have passed, you remember the storyline in the book, but there will be certain times when you want to read it again. When I had a very difficult time in middle age, the death of a loved one, the betrayal of a loved one, and I wanted to seek some comfort from the book, I would think of this book.
It is indeed like what Dong Yuhui said, "I can find the courage to survive in my own painful and long years".
That kind of courage is that despite all the hardships, when you think of the best parents, the most beloved wife, the most beloved children, the son-in-law and the grandson, you have the courage to live.
02."The Right Bank of the Erguna River".
Chi Zijian would never have imagined that her best reader was a person named Dong Yuhui, who made a wish on the live broadcast platform to sell 1.5 million copies of this book!
Dong Yuhui not only sold "The Right Bank of the Ergun River", but also let more people know that there is a female writer named Chi Zijian in China.
What kind of book is this that makes Dong Yuhui want to recommend it to everyone?Here's what he said: After reading "The Right Bank of the Ergun River, it's like sitting at home, and the spirit has a long journey." Close the book and cover the book and think for a long time, as if there is a moon in front of you, a river under the moon, a deer by the river, and a deer antler with wind.
I once thought that Dong Yuhui was exaggerating in order to sell books, until I really read this book, and I realized that it was my hair that was long and my knowledge was short.
Of course, to tell this book of more than 200,000 words in a short space, known as the Chinese version of "One Hundred Years of Solitude", is not realistic, and my ability is not up to it.
What impressed me the most was not the moving and twisty storyline in **, but the gentle and delicate writing of Mr. Chi Zijian, when you read those words, you will feel very beautiful, it is like a spring breeze, it is the feeling of breathing freely in the forest after the rain, and it is the feeling ......of hugging your lover who has not seen you for a long timeIn short, a beautiful feeling that you can't describe in words.
However, the beauty is only the appearance, and the tone of the whole story is sad, but Mr. Chi Zijian did not deliberately render the sadness, everything happened naturally and plainly, but the joys and sorrows, birth, old age, sickness and death were vividly reflected.
03."Ordinary World".
Lu Yao devoted his life to 13 years to complete the epic masterpiece, the moment it was completed, he knew that this was a great masterpiece, but he probably didn't expect that this masterpiece would affect generation after generation.
Ma Yun said that "Ordinary World" gave him the courage to stand up again and again when he was working hard to start a business, and as long as he didn't give up easily, life would have miracles.
Pan Shiyi read it 8 times before and after, and he said that every time I felt that I couldn't get through this hurdle at a low point in my life, I had to pick it up and read it again, so that I remembered every detail very clearly.
And when Dong Yuhui introduced this book, he said this: Many times fate gives you gifts, and secretly has its price, but all the hardships that fate makes you suffer, secretly also have the candy it rewards you. If there is only one book I can recommend, it must be "The Ordinary World".
It's been 30 years since this work was born, why is it still so popular?
Dong Qing said the most simple reason: because too many people saw their shadows in Sun Shaoan and Sun Shaoping.
Reading "The Ordinary World" is like enjoying a spiritual feast, allowing you to see hope and gain strength in the face of adversity. Life is already a lot of tribulations, and there will be many moments when people feel that they can't persevere, if you are in a difficult situation now, why not also take a look at this "Ordinary World", I believe you will find the answer from it.
04."The World".
73-year-old Liang Xiaosheng hit it off at first sight with 29-year-old Dong Yuhui in the live broadcast room of Dongfang Selection, and a "dear comrade" was constantly warned by the Douyin platform, which made Yu Minhong anxious, but the lovely Liang Xiaosheng couldn't help but express his appreciation for Dong Yuhui, and had a feeling of seeing him late.
For "The World", Dong Yuhui said: We who are ordinary among all living beings find our own value, find the happiness and meaning of life, and adhere to the "heart" of upward kindness and selfless dedication, which is comparable to all extraordinary!
Many people know about Liang Xiaosheng's feature through the TV series "The World", and the TV series has been a huge success, making many people cry.
But if you have read the original book, you will find that the adaptation of the TV series is really "tyrannical", which is really a waste of a good book, and many of the characters after the adaptation do not conform to real human nature. Of course, we also understand that after all, TV dramas have to be reviewed and must conform to mainstream values.
In this 1.5 million word masterpiece, you will see about family, about family, about friendship, about reading, about growth, about responsibility, about feelings. As the inscription says, "Demonstrate morality and responsibility in the fireworks of the world, and write feelings and aspirations in the joys and sorrows." ”
After reading this**, you will feel the "seeking" and "unseeking" in the world
Raising children does not seek to prevent old age, but to have a clear conscience;
Reading does not seek profit, but seeks no regrets for yourself;
Xiaoai does not ask for promises, but asks for no complaints.
05."The Biography of Su Dongpo".
I heard a sentence: Why is life unhappy, just because I haven't read Su Dongpo.
Dong Yuhui: If I had to find someone from all the poets who had grown up and memorized them, the first one I wanted to share with you would actually be Su Dongpo. We love Li Bai because he is romantic, he is eclectic, he is like an immortal who fell from the sky to the earth. We also like Du Fu, worried about the country and the people, although he is not doing very well, but always thinking about the survival of ordinary people. But after seeing a lot of people, I found that I still like Su Dongpo, because he is a friend, because I can't do it myself, so I want such a friend.
Why do we like Su Dongpo?It's not just because his words are good, it's more because he can still face life optimistically after experiencing ups and downs in his life. He is like every ordinary living being, but he lives more freely and calmly than us.
Life in the world, unsatisfactory things out of ten, only with an optimistic and open-minded attitude to face it, is the best solution, this is Su Dongpo what fascinates us the most.
Before true luck arrives, do two things well, one is to accumulate knowledge, and the other is to love life.
If you are not happy, you must read Su Dongpo.
05."The Biography of Zeng Guofan".
He took the exam 7 times before he was able to show his talent, but he successfully opened up the road to the imperial examination with stupid kung fu and successfully entered the Hanlin Academy. Look at how Zeng Guofan interprets the way of upgrading a continuous struggler with a clumsy spirit, and you will definitely be infected by him!
In his life, Zeng Guofan has made meritorious contributions, virtues, and words, and he has done all of them, and he is worthy of being half of the two and a half saints recognized by our country.
The purity of his moral cultivation led to the domination of two major figures in China, * and Chiang Kai-shek, 50 years later.
As the last great Confucian in China, he not only had a deep attainment in science, but also practiced it, leaving behind a complete collection of millions of words, and his broad spirit made scholars yearn for a lifetime. And the family letters and quotations he left behind have benefited us ordinary people a lot to this day.
He spent his life defending and guarding the culture and beliefs he cherished. He used his life to prove the heights that human willpower can reach.
06.The Moon and Sixpence
There were sixpence all over the ground, but he looked up and saw the moon", when I used to read this book, I didn't have a deep feeling for this sentence, after all, today's society is becoming more and more utilitarian, and wealth has become the only measure of success. It's hard to find a man all around us who doesn't look for sixpence all over the place.
And I can't understand at all that is a commendable act for a man to leave behind his wife and family in search of so-called idealsYou can look for happiness, but you can't base your happiness on the pain of others, especially your family, and what difference is there between that and men who don't go home at night to have fun?
But it wasn't until I passed middle age that I realized that the unhappiness of adults often lies in the fact that you set too many rules and regulations for yourself. In the past, I didn't seem to have really lived for myself, you cared too much about external evaluations, put a lot of pressure on yourself, and then found out that you were sick.
So you will find that many young people now not only begin to "break away" in life, but also "break away" in family affection, and there is nothing wrong with living a "selfish" life and a happy life, people should know how to please themselves, rather than blindly pleasing others.
"Moon" is not just a "dream", many people ask him what your dream is, he can't answer. Even if you can answer it, it is as the book says, "There are very few people in the world who can realize their ideals." ”
So what to do?How can we remember to look up at the moon in the midst of sixpence all over the ground. I remembered what Mingyue, the author of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", said:
There is only one way to succeed – to live life on your own terms.
07."Imaginary Country".
If you want to learn about philosophy, Plato's Republic is a great primer on philosophy because it's a dialogue, not a discursive self-statement. In the book, Socrates has been trying to pierce the "premise" of the other party's words, to show us it, and to guide us to think. Completely different from the Marxist philosophy we learn in school, not only will you not feel bored, but you will also feel baptized.
Of course, as a philosophy book, I will definitely feel that there are many incomprehensible parts in it, and because of the limitations of the times, many propositions and ideas in it are not in line with modern concepts or even incorrect, but isn't it precisely because of this that it can cause us to think?Maybe by thinking about it this way, and debating with the philosophers in the book, many of the problems in your life will be solved. Isn't that the benefit of reading?
As Dong Yuhui said: if they have enough imagination, maybe there will be a way to solve the problems that may arise in the future. The answer is not on the spot, the answer is not in your heart and mine, the answer may be guessed.
08.A Brief History of Mankind
Although I like history, if it weren't for Dong Yuhui's recommendation, I probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to read this kind of book, just looking at the title, I think it should be as boring as a middle and high school history textbook.
As a result, I can't stop when I look at it, this is not just a history book, but a book of historical philosophy, which contains a lot of life philosophy, and Harari is so powerful, the opinions he expresses are all popular and witty, humorous and full of brains.
Religion, world politics, and military affairs, which used to be difficult to understand when reading books, suddenly became clear.
The greatness of this book is not because it condenses human history into a single book, but because it reveals the insignificance and helplessness of human beings.
After reading it, adults can tell their children that the future will not be easy. Pessimism is foresight, optimism is wisdom.
