We Live in a Huge Gap" is a work like no other, it is out of Yu Hua's previous narrative framework, but it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in another way. After reading this book, I felt as if I had experienced an inner baptism, and the long-standing anxiety and tension dissipated between the lines.
The charm of this book lies in its breadth and depth. With his keen observation and profound literary skills, Yu Hua has gradually unfolded a rich and colorful social picture from our daily life. He takes us through politics, history, economics, society, sports, culture, emotion, desire, and privacy, allowing us to feel the diversity and complexity of life in the process of reading.
Each essay in the book is imbued with Yu Hua's personal touch, from which we can get a glimpse of his reading experience, life experience, and unique insights into the world. He analyzed the pain of the times with a sharp gaze, and revealed the truth of life with delicate writing. In this fast-changing society, when our values are challenged and our dreams become unattainable, Yu Hua reminds us that when we are lost, we must be brave enough to know ourselves and stick to our inner beliefs.
A famous quote from the book struck me: "Nothing is inherent in man except self-righteousness!" This sentence is like a mirror, reflecting the arrogance and stubbornness in each of us. It reminds us to stay humble and introspective, to keep learning and growing, so that we can truly know ourselves and embrace the diversity of life.
Overall, We Live in a Huge Gap is a great book to read. It allows us to find our place in a complex society, and it also makes us more determined and confident on the road to pursuing our dreams. Yu Hua uses his wisdom and talent to present us with a rich and colorful world, allowing us to gain knowledge and strength in the process of reading.
