Yu Hua's "Alive" is a masterpiece that depicts the hardships and perseverance of life. After reading this work many times, I have become more deeply aware that the seven hardships of life - birth, old age, sickness, death, love and separation, resentment and hatred, and unwanted, are challenges that everyone must face. And being able to live is the greatest luck and courage.
First of all, the suffering of life is the starting point of life. From the moment everyone is born, they are destined to experience all kinds of suffering. In "Alive", the protagonist Fugui's life is full of tribulations, from the ruin of his family to the departure of his loved ones, and then to the hardships of life, he has never been able to escape the hardships of life. However, Fugui never gave up on life, and he used his tenacity and optimism to interpret the meaning of life.
The suffering of old age is the only way to go in life. As I grew older, my body gradually weakened, and my dreams and passions drifted away. In "Alive", Fugui watched his relatives leave one by one, and the pain in his heart was indescribable. But he still chooses to live strongly, using his experience and wisdom to bring warmth and strength to the people around him.
Suffering from illness is a physically and mentally exhausting challenge. Disease not only destroys people's bodies, but also tests people's will. In "Alive", Fugui's family falls ill one after another, and he has to face endless pain and helplessness. However, Fugui never gave up his love and care for his family, and he interpreted love and responsibility with his actions.
The pain of death is the end of life. Everyone feels fear and uneasiness in the face of death. In "Alive", Fugui witnessed the death of his loved ones, and the pain in his heart cannot be expressed in words. But he still chooses to live strongly, using his life experience and insights to bring hope and courage to the people around him.
The pain of parting is one of life's most painful challenges. The loss of a loved one makes people feel endless grief and despair. In "Alive", Fugui's wife and son pass away one after another, and he endures great pain and sorrow. However, Fugui never gave up his love and pursuit of life, and he used his strength and optimism to win the respect and admiration of those around him.
The suffering of resentment will arise from the entanglement of grievances between people. In "Alive", Fugui is once burdened with heavy debts due to the ruin of his family, and falls into endless pain and struggle. However, in the face of various difficulties in life, Fugui chose tolerance and understanding, resolved grievances with his kindness and sincerity, and won the respect and trust of others.
Suffering from the unattainable is one of life's most common challenges. Everyone has their own ideals and pursuits, but not everyone can achieve their wishes. In "Alive", Fugui had all kinds of dreams and expectations, but the cruelty of reality made him have to face disappointment and helplessness. However, Fugui never gave up his love and pursuit of life, and he used his tenacity and optimism to overcome the hardships of unseekness and live his own life value.
Through the depiction of the seven sufferings of life, "Alive" makes us deeply appreciate the meaning and value of life. In the face of life's challenges and difficulties, we need to learn to be resilient, optimistic, and use courage and wisdom to overcome suffering. And being able to live is the greatest luck and courage.
