Good evening, book friends, meet · Meet your unknown self in the book.
In 1718, the English writer Daniel Defoe heard an anecdote. A sailor is abandoned on a deserted island in the Atlantic Ocean with no chance of survival. But four years later, he miraculously returned like a wild man. Nearly 60 years old, Defoe was so inspired that the following year he published his first book, Robinson Crusoe. Once it came out, it had a far-reaching impact and endured. It is said that it is the most reprinted book except for the Bible, and has been translated into almost all languages in the world. 
The protagonist, Robinson, is unfortunately stranded on a desert island alone. After 28 years of loneliness, he actually created a kingdom of his own, and finally made his dream come true and returned to his hometown. Robinson's lonely struggle against fate illuminates countless figures struggling in the wind and rain. Life is like a reverse journey, we travel all the way, and everyone will encounter a long or short loneliness. And a person's strength begins with overcoming loneliness. 
Robinson was born into a wealthy family in England and was the youngest son of a much-loved child. His parents wanted him to study law and live in peace and contentment, but he longed to travel the world. At the age of 19, he secretly followed his companion to become a sailor and embarked on the voyage of his dreams. But on his first voyage, he encountered strong winds and waves, and he was so frightened that he swore that if he escaped this fate, he would go home. But when the wind calmed down, the scars healed, forgot the pain, and continued to look for sailing opportunities. After learning a lot of sailing experience from an enthusiastic captain, he set off on a journey to Africa with confidence. 
Unfortunately, he was captured by pirates and became a slave halfway through. After two years of dark days, he finally saw the opportunity and escaped from the clutches in a small boat. Later, he moved to Brazil, where he bought a plantation by selling hides. For a few years, he managed the plantation well, but he could not resist the call of the sea. Therefore, he resolutely gave up his rich fortune and comfortable life and went to the sea of his dreams again. I never thought that bad luck would strike again, and the ship was hit by a hurricane, ran aground and sank. When he awoke from his coma, he found himself on a deserted island, and his companions had long since perished in the sea. For the rest of his life, he was devastated by the desolation in front of him: he was soaked, but he had no clothes;Hungry, but hungry;Looking around, but there is no one in sight. He has nothing and is in a desperate situation, either starving to death or being devoured by wild beasts. Where will fate go?He fell into a deep despair and loneliness. Robinson abandoned his affluent life and longed for the sea, and was defeated and defeated, but fell into a lonely and hopeless situation. Loneliness is the fate of human beings, and it often comes unexpectedly and is close at hand. 
Whether you are in the city or in the countryside, there will inevitably be lonely moments. Maybe it's the sadness of the end of the song, maybe it's the pain of being isolated, maybe it's the grievance of being misunderstood. The French thinker Rousseau once said, "People are born to be lively, but they are always in loneliness." ”Life seems to be noisy and lively, but it comes and goes, and there is no one who can spend your life with you. There are many storms that you need to face alone;There is a lot of pain that you have to bear alone. Loneliness is the background color of life, and when people are on a journey, we all have to learn to spend the winter alone. 
Worried, Robinson ran madly on the beach, when he suddenly found the sunken ship stranded nearby. He swam effortlessly, and the cabin was a huge treasure trove: food, clothing, guns, tools, cats and dogs, Bibles, and so on, as if it were a gift from heaven. It's a heaven-shattering road. He began to move the ants, and it took more than ten days to ransack the cabin and move it to the island little by little. During this period, a simple tent was built with planks and sails, and finally there was a comfortable shelter from the wind and rain. After enumerating the luck and misfortune of the situation, it suddenly became clear:Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and being alive is the greatest luck. Therefore, I decided to try to survive on an isolated island that no one cared about. When the weather is nice, he often goes out hunting with his dog, staring at the sea, hoping to spot passing ships, but is always disappointed. And disasters followed, the cave that was dug so hard was used to resist the invasion of wild beasts, and a ** made it collapse in an instant, and he was almost buried alive. ** Then there was another torrential rain, which crushed the tents. Because of the ravages of the torrential rains, he suffered from severe malaria and struggled on the verge of death for more than ten days. 
One day, when all his thoughts were in despair, he was suddenly surprised to find more than a dozen ears of wheat growing from the cracks in the stones. The ears of wheat born from the broken stones, like a ray of light in the darkness, illuminated the power of life, and he rekindled the hope of living. When his health improved, he immediately built a house and built a ship, opened up wasteland and farmed land, and tried to make the barren days full of vitality. In my free time, I read the Bible, write a journal, and spend endless lonely time. Gradually, he unlocks various skills and becomes an all-powerful "whole person" who builds a thriving kingdom. Moreover, he always has a firm belief in his heart: as long as he never gives up, he will leave the desert island. Robinson went from pessimism and despair to active self-help, and finally lived out the momentum of thousands of troops from loneliness alone. When loneliness creeps in, we often find that we have no one to rely on. Even if there are scars all over the body, no one may feel the same way. In the days when he was alone, he had to work hard to find the poetry of life. Find any way you like, read, exercise, travel, etc., and fill the solitude. As Mr. Ji Xianlin said, "On the road of life, everyone is a lonely traveler. There are thousands of scenes in the world, bittersweet joys and sorrows, ups and downs, except for self-crossing, others can not help. "Loneliness brings you confusion, but it also promotes your growth. Because of loneliness, it forces you to calm down, explore inward, improve yourself, and complete a gorgeous transformation. The abundance of life begins with the victory over loneliness. Instead of getting lost in the crowd, find yourself in the solitude of solitude. 
After 24 years of living alone on a desert island, Robinson's life took a turn for the better. In the southwest corner of the desert island, he unexpectedly found the remains of human bones, as well as traces of fire, apparently the cannibals who had come to eat the captives. Panicking, he feared that he would be eaten too, but a bold idea suddenly came to him: if he could free the captives from the cannibals, he would have more companions, and maybe he could help him build a boat and escape from the desert island. He sprang into action, filled the island with traps, and always carried ** with him, ready for battle. A year later, he finally waited for the cannibals to visit again. Taking advantage of the cannibal revelry, he managed to free a captive and named it "Friday". Friday became his most loyal companion, planting, building, and defeating the wildlings together, and Robinson confidently looked forward to the day when he would be rescued. The hard work paid off, and they finally waited for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. A British steamer is anchored near a desert island, and a group of rebel sailors kidnap the captain and three others. Although outnumbered, Robinson decided to risk his life to save himself and get himself a chance to escape from the desert island. He and Friday fought hard to defeat the rebel sailors and successfully rescued the captain. The captain was grateful and successfully brought them back to England. By this time, Robinson had been on a desert island for 28 years. Robinson desperately tries to save Friday and the captain, but eventually returns to the world with their help. 
The road of life is long and difficult, and no one can live as an island. When we were kids, we all heard the fairy tale of the "tortoise and hare race";When I grew up, I learned that there was still a "win-win theory of tortoises and rabbits". In the mountains, rabbits run on their backs;To the river, the tortoise crosses the river with the rabbit on its back, which is a "win-win". The weak tear each other apart, and it is difficult to move an inch;The strong help each other and achieve each other. Light frost kills a single grass, and strong winds can hardly destroy thousands of acres of forest. After all, it is weak to fight alone, and only by borrowing from each other can we achieve win-win cooperation. The ancients said: "With the strength of the good wind, send me to the clouds." ”As much as you can borrow, you can embrace as much success as you can. In the cold winter, don't forget to hold a warm hand and let external support help you dispel the gloom of loneliness. 
Write at the end
The Mai family once commented on "Robinson Crusoe": "When I was young, I only thought it was a fairy tale full of legends;When I grew up, I revisited it, and it turned out that this book was all about life. Robinson walked out of his inner desolation in the loneliest of circumstances. The reason for its success is not only his own perseverance, but also the help of friends. Robinson's story is also our life. Loneliness is the normal state of life, since there is nowhere to hide, it is better to use loneliness to achieve yourself. As long as you struggle to save yourself and seek support, there is no loneliness that you can't get out of.
