After reading Mai Jia s The Sea of Life , I thoroughly understood what fate is

Mondo Culture Updated on 2024-02-01

I have long heard of "From the Sea of Life".

I buried a wish in my heart through Dong Qing's affectionate and tearful reading, that is, when I have leisure, I must read this book "The Sea of Life".

The fragment that Dong Qing read still lingers in his ears and has never dispersed:

More than a year later, the colonel's mother choked to death with a mouthful of porridge, and she (Aunt Lin) sent the old man to his death with a loud and mournful cry, like the whistle of a pigeon, crying blood, coiled in the air, lighting up the night sky and activating the tear ducts of all the women in the village. Later, at the funeral, she held the coffin with one hand, and sprinkled the same bloody and tearful weeping all the way, activating the tear glands of all the men in the village ......The woman divided the things in the colonel's house, and took what she could and what she couldn't give to those in need in the village. Then she led the colonel and the two cats back to her old ......The woman knelt down in front of the villager who saw her off, wiping away her tears, and the colonel knelt down like a child with a mother, and the scene moved hundreds of people to tears.

This must be a blood-soaked story.

Now that I have picked up this book and read it, I have made a long-cherished wish, but I am only left with silence.

1. The colonel has a legendary life, but it ended up with a tearful ending, which is really embarrassing.

The Colonel is extremely smart when he pees, and he learns faster and succeeds in everything than others:

When I learned to be a carpenter, I mastered all the skills in the first year, and I was able to work with great vigour; In the second year, the skills are not inferior to the master, and in the third year, he can stand alone and open a business.

After becoming a soldier of the Kuomintang, he became a sharpshooter, he was smart and clever, he performed well and was respected, and within a few years he became a battalion commander until he became a colonel. When he turned to the battlefield, he was stunned to tinker with military medical skills in the pile of wounded soldiers and became a military doctor.

In response to the needs of the country, he became a spy into the ghost nest, killed traitors, killed devils, and endured humiliation for the great merit of the country; Even if he was wronged and relegated back to Shuangjia Village, despite the ignorant suspicion and damage of the villagers, he still did everything with kindness.

The colonel's pattern is very large, and he doesn't care about the charm, but it is this generosity that he would rather wronged his character, so that the crumbs can jump, and finally be driven crazy.

Sometimes I wonder if the colonel had washed himself away in time when he had been wronged, and had chosen to run away when the rebels decided to criticize him, would he have been relegated to the hamlet? Will there be an ending where people are driven crazy later?

However, there are no ifs. Fortunately, he is still alive. Despite his madness, he is carefree and carefree, and he no longer has to suffer from the need to grieve himself for keeping secrets that he doesn't want others to see.

2. The little blind man: self-inflicted, not to live.

The little blind man is not blind. But because he was not educated, he was blind.

The little blind man was born without a mother, and his mother was deceived by his father's family. The father of the little blind man was really blind, and with his ignorance, he couldn't control him at all.

The little blind man savagely grew into a naughty boy, causing trouble everywhere, and he naturally did not miss the opportunity to arrange the colonel. After receiving the lesson from the colonel when he was playing with him, he held a grudge against the colonel in his heart.

The little blind man took advantage of the crooked wind of the movement to report his personal anger to the colonel, forcing the colonel to cut his tongue and pick his hamstrings, and forced the colonel to flee from the village and go incognito.

As the saying goes: the poor must have something to hate. The life of the little blind man is his own choice, and he can't complain about others, although pitiful, but even more hateful. The little blind man finally bought the hateful order for his blindness.

In fact, no matter what era it is, people like little blind people have never disappeared, and this kind of people have always had zero upbringing and blinded minds, not only black and white, but also no right and wrong.

Everyone's life is the result of their own choices. Therefore, we must remember that if we do evil in the sky, we can still live; You will not live.

3. Be a man who is frank and upright, otherwise he will not die well.

The grandfather of "my" in the story is an old pedant, who wants to save face, understands all kinds of big truths, and has a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, and he can't tolerate his family being secretly poked and misunderstood.

The colonel was falsely rumored to be a "eunuch" by the villagers, and his son and the colonel were not separated from each other, which became the heart disease of "my" grandfather.

He taught his son: "Filial piety comes first", do you know? Are you not afraid of retribution when you mess around with a person who has no children and grandchildren all day long?

When the little blind man arranged the colonel to be a ** criminal, he was in a hurry more than anyone else. It's about his son, it's about the reputation of everyone in his house.

For the sake of his own reputation, the old pedant fought back against the little blind man everywhere regardless of his experience, and finally betrayed the colonel's hiding place in exchange for a public notice that was enough to clear the stain on his reputation, and almost let himself enter the ghost gate.

However, about the rumors about the "** criminal", the villagers just avoided him and talked about it behind his back, and he could fight back everywhere; However, reporting the colonel put him in the crisis of being condemned face-to-face by the villagers, and he could only huddle at home speechless, and finally could not stand the inner torment and hanged himself.

Around us, there are many such people. is full of little ninety-nine, just to protect his own face, even at the expense of the interests of others.

Written at the end: The Sea of Life", which seems to tell the bloody story of a hero who fights through the times, but in fact it is a deep analysis of human nature, about people like colonels, grandfathers, fathers, old security chiefs and little blind people. Just as the words left by the Mai family on the book cover: I want to write about the luck born in despair and the outstanding morality in hardship. I want to set up another mountain, go back to my childhood, go back to my hometown, and decipher the code of human heart and human nature.

There are many words in the book that are thought-provoking. Now copy a few sentences and offer:

Between man and beast, there is only a cloud of anger, like a layer of paper between life and death.

When one has compassion in one's heart, one does not ask for it, and compassion is the deletion key to empty desires.

There is no perfect life, imperfection is life.

The sea of life, the ebb and flow is followed by the ebb and flow.
