Hello, I'm Lao Wang, a professional reader who likes iron.
The end of the year is the day of sorting out and reviewing, and as a reader, Lao Wang's most important thing is, of course, reading.
What I am sharing today is 10 books recommended by Dong Yuhui, and he has reread each of them. Classics are like this, often read and always new, and the more you read, the more profound your understanding becomes.
Let's get into the book list and share.
n0.1 "Ordinary World".
Author: Lu Yao.
Douban: 96
This is a book that describes the life of rural people in China, which makes many people uneasy. The growth and struggle of the male protagonist Sun Shaoan may be the mirror image of most young people in rural China and "small-town problem-solvers".
About ideals, about love, about fate, this ordinary world, as long as we have positive beliefs, we can meet them, expand the possibilities, and finally realize our self-worth.
Dong Yuhui likes this book very much and admits that he has read it 6 times.
He said, "In the eyes of the young Dong Yuhui, "Ordinary World" was like a life-saving rope, suddenly thrown from the sky, and when I felt like I was about to sink in the water, I grabbed it fiercely, and never let go!”
n0.2 "Alive".
Author: Yu Hua.
Douban: 95
Reading "Alive", I feel very uncomfortable, and I am blessed to live a lifetime, which is equal to several lifetimes of others.
You can't tell if he's atoning for his sins or if he's fighting against fate. When he was young, he ate, drank, prostituted and gambled, disrespected his wife, and lost his family property, but he was still forgiven by his wife and was willing to suffer together.
Fugui took care of himself and wanted to live a good life in a down-to-earth manner, but God gave him a piece of candy, but he had to slap him several times, and his relatives died one by one, leaving only an old cow to accompany him. If you think about it, God is playing tricks on you, it's really desperate.
However, I also admire Fugui, who is still resilient and stubborn in the face of such misfortune.
When Dong Yuhui was transforming into New Oriental, he was very confused and went to Zhongguancun to read "Alive". I burst into tears when I read it, and I felt good after reading it. Perhaps, seeing Fugui so miserable, what is his own experience, but it is easier.
adapted the movie of the same name "Alive", starring Ge You and Gong Li.
n0.3 The Right Bank of the Erguna River
Author: Chi Zijian.
Douban: 91
This book describes the vicissitudes of a century of the Evenki ethnic minority in Northeast China, won the 7th Mao Dun Literature Award, and was honored as "China's "One Hundred Years of Solitude".
The Evenks fought against modern civilization in their own way, slowing down time in their tribe.
You criticize them for being primitive, they say you go fast and the soul can't keep up. Reindeer running in the moonlight, you will never see it under the neon lights of the city.
The reason why "The Right Bank of the Ergun River" has the feeling of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is that in addition to the magic, grotesque, and bizarre sense, we also feel that "people gain in nature and lose in nature", which is the balance of God, and the cycle of hundreds of millions of years cannot be broken.
Dong Yuhui recommended this book many times, saying that it had a great impact on him, and more than 1 million copies had been sold in the live broadcast room.
n0.4 "The Dust Settles."
Author: Alai.
Douban: 90
I studied Alai ** in high school, and I like his language style very much, and the stories he tells are also heart-wrenching and intoxicating.
The Dust Settles is the winning work of the 5th Mao Dun Literature Award. It takes ** as the background of the story, and revolves around the life of the protagonist Garsong, we can witness the historical process of Tibetan areas from closed to open, as well as feel the collision and integration of traditional Tibetan culture and modern civilization.
As an individual in the great era, under the tide of historical changes, he is also faced with psychological conflicts and moral choices, and finally his identity moves from conflict to integration.
In addition to "The Dust Settles", Ah Lai's "Empty Mountain" is also good.
n0.5 "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli".
Author: Huang Renyu.
Douban: 90
This is a masterpiece.
Professor Huang Renyu is very good at finding an entry point, using the history, astronomy, and economy of the 15th year of Wanli (1587) as bricks to spread out a magnificent historical journey, presenting the complex political situation and social contradictions in the late Ming Dynasty, and observing the way of modern China, which brings us a lot of inspiration.
Huang Renyu believes that many small things that are easy to ignore are related to each other, and can even set off waves of historical changes. His evaluation of historical figures is also very objective and to the point.
For example, evaluating Qi Jiguang.
Qi Jiguang is not honest, he knows how to be flexible than Hai Rui, and is good at maneuvering in officialdom, "Qi Jiguang's strength lies in the fact that he does not regard these personnel talents as the capital for opportunism and promotion, but only as a means to establish a new army and defend the country." ”
n0.6 "The Biography of Zeng Guofan".
Author: Zhang Hongjie.
Douban: 87
Zhang Hongjie is a very good storyteller and historian. The "Biography of Zeng Guofan" written by him, which details the life and exploits of Zeng Guofan, is a phenomenal biography.
To be honest, I don't like Zeng Guofan very much, I always feel that he kills too much, and he is not as merciful as Wang Yangming, so Liang Qichao respects Wang Yangming as a saint, while Zeng Guofan is only half a saint.
Of course, I admire Zeng Guofan's learning, attitude and methods.
Among the contemporaries of the late Qing Dynasty, Zeng Guofan was the least talented, but he achieved the most, and was honored as the "No. 1 Minister of Zhongxing", how did he do it?
He stressed that we should work stupidly and not just want to take shortcuts, as evidenced by the fact that he was only admitted to Xiucai in the 7th exam.
In the capital, he realized that he was narrow-minded, so he studied the classics, met friends, and strengthened self-management, so he ushered in the development of his career. Wait a minute.
The reason why "The Biography of Zeng Guofan" is so popular is that every step of Zeng Guofan's steps is not easy, and he is willing to use "stupidity" to pave the way and move forward.
The big guy doesn't teach opportunism, which is a blessing for our juniors.
n0.7 "The Biography of Su Dongpo".
Author: Lin Yutang.
Douban: 84
Several authors have written "The Biography of Su Dongpo", and I like Lin Yutang the most. Volume 1 writes about Su Dongpo's childhood and youth;Volume 2 writes about life in the prime of life;Volume 3 writes about the mature years;Volume 4 writes about life in exile.
Su Dongpo is a national male god and is the favorite of many people, and it is estimated that the reason lies in thisNo matter what he encounters, he can always be self-consistent, optimistic and open-minded in life.
is like what the instructor said in "**Anthology", "You hit yours, I hit mine". No matter how you fix me, it won't prevent me from living according to my own temperament, and I'll be angry with you!
Su Dongpo was by no means submissive and resigned himself to fate, but in the atmosphere of the irresistible times, he took the initiative to adapt to the environment, lived happily, and "poetry and wine took advantage of the youth".
To sum up: this place of peace is my hometown.
Su Dongpo's documentary "Fixing the Storm", Nie Yuan performed Su Dongpo.
n0.8 Sophie's World
Author: Jostein Judd.
Douban: 90
I should have read this book in college, and I was shocked that someone could integrate philosophy into the story and tell it so wonderfully, wonderfully, and concisely.
Under the guidance of a mysterious teacher, Sophie, a 14-year-old girl, began to come into contact with philosophers such as Socrates, Kant, and Freud to think about the fundamental questions of life.
The world is like a mystery, constantly unfolding under Sophie's eyes, and Sophie uses her wisdom and knowledge to explore this mysterious world ......
Maugham once said that everyone should read philosophy. Philosophy is the basic plate of the world.
If you want to learn about philosophy, but are a little afraid of its language and ideas, you can start with this book, and maybe your interest in philosophy will increase greatly.
n0.9 The Moon and Sixpence
Author: Maugham.
Douban: 91
The ground was full of sixpence, but he looked up and saw the moon. ”
Although this sentence is not included in the book, it does not prevent many people from knowing "The Moon and Sixpence" through it.
This is a book about the pursuit of ideals, I have written, I appreciate Charles for giving up a decent life for the ideal, willing to be poor, bear criticism, never complain about fate, and contribute passion and life to art.
However, I oppose him for his own ideals, selfishness and cruelty, revenge, cold-bloodedness, and sacrifice others to achieve himself.
Therefore, it is okay to read this book, but to stay sober and really have the ability, you must have a conscience and have the courage to pursue ideals, but do not hurt others.
n0.10 Being and Nothingness
Author: Jean Paul Sartre.
Douban: 91
This is Sartre's philosophical work, which mainly expounds his existential philosophical thoughts.
Sartre believes that man is his own existence, his existence is not affected by any evaluation, existence is existence itself, even if you scold me for living and wasting air, you can't deny my existence.
Sartre believed that man was destined to be free, and that man must be free to make choices, and at the same time be responsible for his choices.
When I studied psychology, I was most impressed by the sentence "others are hell", which was what Sartre said.
To put it simply, if you're with bad people, bad people, or some kind of mental illness, it's like you're in hell, it's painful, it's tormenting. The moral is that we learn to understand social conflict and find our place in the world.
The counterpart is the ego as hell. If you can't get to know yourself well, get along with yourself well, and deny the meaning of your existence, then you are your own hell.
Being and Nothingness may not be that easy to read, but it is definitely rewarding to be able to gnaw on.
Thank you for seeing this, I am [Sanhengwang Reading] (the same name on the whole network).
