Walden is a thought-provoking book that describes the author, Thoreau, in a fresh, natural way, of his two-year, two-month and two-day solitary life on the shores of Walden. Reading Walden, I gained a deep understanding of Thoreau's unique views on nature, life, and freedom.
The reason why Tsinghua students have a copy of Walden is because the book has far-reaching significance for them. First of all, the concept of nature conveyed in this book complements the natural environment of Tsinghua Garden. Tsinghua students experience the beauty of nature on campus, and Walden is a treasure trove of ideas that guide them to think deeply about the relationship between man and nature.
Secondly, this book is also the embodiment of the spirit of Tsinghua students' pursuit of freedom. In the book, Thoreau expresses his desire for freedom, which is in line with the spirit of Tsinghua students' independence and exploration. By reading Walden, they were able to better understand the true meaning of freedom and pursue their dreams with courage.
In addition, Walden provides a model for Tsinghua students to live and philosophize. In the midst of heavy academic work and future career planning, Tsinghua students need a way to balance their bodies and minds. The simple, unpretentious way of life described in Walden is exactly the ideal state they are pursuing. By reading this book, they are able to better examine their inner world and find a way of life that truly belongs to them.
To sum up, Tsinghua students each have a copy of Walden, not only because the natural concept and free spirit conveyed by this book are in line with their pursuit, but also because this book provides them with an ideal lifestyle and a model for philosophical thinking.
