I bought Liu Tong's youth trilogy at one time-whose youth is not confused, although your loneliness is still glorious, it is on the bright side. In the process of reading his article, first of all, I'm sure it's not a high-energy chicken soup article. Liu Tong didn't say how beautiful the reality is, but told us that the reality is cruel and sometimes dark, but fortunately there must be light in the darkness. In his book, he tells one warm-hearted story after another, tells his experiences with friends and tells his life journey from the age of 23 to 33. Among them, he reflected on his mistakes, missed his old friends and loved his relatives. I don't know whether Liu Tong will become a person like Lu Xun and Chekhov in a few years, and will be remembered forever. I wonder if his youth trilogy will be remembered in a few years. However, I want to say that at present, when you are in your youth, you can open his books, listen to what he says, and then think about it in your heart, and you will certainly gain something. Because, his words are written for the young people of this era, writing about their confusion, writing about their bravery and writing about their kindness. ...
In primary school, maybe your goal is only one, that is to get into a good junior high school; In junior high school, maybe your goal is only one, that is to get into a good high school; In high school, maybe your goal is only one, and that is to get into a good university. But when you get to college, you may suddenly be confused. Where should I go to work after graduation? Do you want to go to graduate school? If I go back to my hometown, I can have a stable job, but I am still young. Do you want to go to Beijing? Sometimes, you feel that you can't find the direction of life. As Liu Tong said, no one is lost in youth. In fact, we are all the same. Almost everyone will go through this period, and so will Liu Tong. So he recorded every day after he was twenty years old, and gradually got to know himself in the process.
10 years later, the editor of CITIC Publishing House read his ten-year diary of more than 2 million words, and emailed him overnight to tell him that he wanted to select 1.5 million words from it and publish a book that would make young people no longer confused and afraid. In fact, Liu Tong's Who's Youth Is Not Confused does give young people a lot of encouragement. There is such an example. At the activity site of a university in Liutong, a girl said in front of thousands of people: "When I graduated from high school, my teacher told my parents that I had no talent and the best way out was to teach my children. My parents planned the same thing. Later, I got seriously ill. At that time, I saw "Who's youth is not confused", which made me feel that I should try life more, in case it comes true. " Every one of us will be confused sometimes, especially between the ages of eighteen and twenty-eight, from closed campus to society, from students to work groups. In this process, we often face choices. However, sometimes the more choices we have, the less we know how to choose. Hide in the ivory tower, or try your best to break through the wind and waves; Everyone else thinks I'm ordinary, so should I be willing to be ordinary? When you dream of fighting with others, you might as well read Liu Tong's words, just like this girl. You are not lacking in talent, but the bright spot in you has not been discovered. What you need is the encouragement of a brave and experienced person. You may not need much material support from outside. All you need is a word of encouragement.
"Youth without regrets is nothing more than shamelessness, despair and exhaustion." Don't care about the result, success or failure, or what others think of you. As long as you have an ideal and work hard to pursue it, even if the result is not satisfactory, it doesn't matter, because you are worthy of yourself. On the contrary, if your destiny is controlled by others, when you regret it, there may be no turning back, and you may need great courage to choose. The article "Life can be bitter over medicine and sweeter than honey" (selected from "Towards the Bright Side") tells the story of Sister Bin. After working in state-owned enterprises for more than ten years, Sister Bin suddenly quit her stable job. The pressure from all sides can be imagined. Mother Bin even blocked her daughter's decision on the grounds of cutting off the mother-daughter relationship, but she finally chose to resign and open a Taobao shop. Sister Bin said, "I used to be very busy trying to please all kinds of people. Now I am busy for myself. I haven't been so full in a long time. There seems to be no pressure in the past ten years, and every day is very important. " Now I look forward to the next day every day, because you don't know what may happen. "She regrets it, but she is willing to pay for it. Sister Bin had a wonderful time of ten years. When she waved goodbye to her ten years of life, we thought she was brave. If you are still young, shouldn't you think about how to pursue your ideals? If you have been walking on a road you don't like for a long time and have the courage to turn back, you will be less wronged for the rest of your life.
If Whose Youth Is Not Confused is a book to help young people get out of confusion, then Towards the Bright Side tells us more about how to get along with people and every touching moment in life. The article "Why is the person closest to me farthest from me" impressed me deeply. The story goes something like this. Liu Tong often heard his father say that his mother was beautiful. But since he was born, his mother has become a housewife, not dressing up, not buying expensive things, and everything is frugal. Now that mother is old, Liu Tong really wants her to dress up and see her beautiful appearance. Here, I feel that Liu Tong has grown up and worked. Seeing his mother working hard for her family, he wanted to do something for her. ) Liu Tong took her mother to the mall to buy clothes. He just took out his mother's clothes that looked good, and said to her, "Don't wear them if they don't look good." In this way, every time Liu Tong took out one, he immediately told his mother that it didn't look good. One, two, three, every family. Liu Tong finally couldn't hold back: "What do you want? The purpose of today is to buy clothes. You don't even look at it, you don't even try, you just veto it. If I know this, why should I waste time shopping with you? " My mother finally settled down and promised to buy a dress, but after reading the label, she thought it was too expensive and began to say that she didn't like it. Then the matter of buying clothes ended in failure in the quarrel between mother and son. There are many such small frictions between Liu Tong and his mother. The underlying reason is that the consumption concepts of the two generations are different, which can also be understood as the generation gap. Liu Tong feels that now that she is financially independent, she can share more for her family. He hopes that his parents can enjoy their old age and live a better life. He often wants to buy them something, such as a new rice cooker and a leg massage chair. But the idea with my mother is to live frugally and not waste money. In fact, there is nothing wrong with them. Their starting point is to think of the people closest to them.
After repeated argumentation, Liu Tong seriously thought about this problem on the train back to his hometown. He decided to change his way without changing his mother's communication mode, and put his mother's train that had been running for decades into another track. When I got home, Liu Tong said, "I ordered two nice pillows for you and dad. They are good for the cervical spine, have the taste of lavender and can make you sleep better. " Hearing this, my attitude with my mother is still "no." This time, however, Liu Tong overcame her quarrel with her mother. He said, "Actually, I can accept your rejection, or I can give up my plan to buy you something. It's just that I'm thinking, every time I give you advice, do you really think about what it is in your heart or mind? What it looks like, its benefits, its color, its efficacy, its price, where it was bought … Have you thought about these? In other words, you didn't listen at all and refused directly. " My mother and I are speechless. Liu Tong went on to say, "But you know what? Before I buy something for you and dad, I will ask many friends, look up a lot of information on the Internet, compare prices and see if it really suits your evaluation and that of many people who have used it. It will take me several hours to do these things, and finally, after I confirm it, I will summon up the courage and tell you the decision excitedly. But you turned me down immediately. Then I figured it out. Actually, whether you use these or not, I respect your opinion. The reason why I am angry is that I think you don't care much about everything I do for you. " Hearing this, my mother and I quickly said, "That's not true. I am just afraid that you will waste money. " Liu Tong went on to say, "Let's not talk about whether it is a waste of money for the time being. I just want to tell you how I feel. If it's money, you can talk directly, but I hope you can confirm it with dad. Don't deny my efforts as soon as you come up, okay? " My mother and I nodded together, and from then on, I happily accepted my son's filial piety.
When we are in our twenties, we will find that such problems will also happen in our own families. When you go shopping with your parents to buy clothes, they always secretly look at the price tag, either directly saying that this is not suitable for me, or pretending to try it on, and then saying that the colors and styles are not good-looking. In short, there are many reasons. I often go shopping for a day and finally buy some pairs of socks to go home. But I think many people, like me, have not seriously thought about how to solve this problem, or even solved it in a simple and rude way. Liu Tong, on the other hand, used his own experience to tell us how to avoid quarreling and how to handle this family relationship well. Why do the closest people go further and further? In fact, it is because two people's thoughts are not on the same channel and communication is not smooth. In the face of problems, if we can calm down and think, maybe we can find a solution. Next time I want to buy something for my parents, they are not willing to spend money. You can directly show them this article by Liu Tong, and I believe they will understand your filial piety. More importantly, you don't have to let quarrels affect family harmony.
There are many such intimate stories in Liu Tong's youth trilogy, and you can find your own shadow more or less. He didn't say anything, just telling the readers about his own experience, his own way of dealing with problems and so on. So reading it will make people feel close to their lives. The readers of Youth Trilogy are more concentrated in young people aged 18 to 28, because they have more reading experience, which may be related to Liu Tong's age and what he wrote. Now Liu Tong is 33 years old. He wrote about his twenties to thirties. Young readers have no sense of generation gap, but can produce * * *. Besides, reading Liu Tong's words will make you feel relaxed. He is used to expressing himself in humorous language. It tells the story of Liu Tong, his queen and Xiaobai from beginning to end. The Queen is a girl with excellent academic performance and a very free and easy personality. She is very good friends with Liu Tong and Xiaobai. The following is the original dialogue:
"God is really fair. You look like this, but your voice is very nice. " Xiaobai and I will never miss the opportunity to spit on her.
It's not that I don't like her, and I didn't mean to embarrass her. Only the fragile and sensitive people will take spit as an arrow in the back to hurt themselves, while the powerful pioneers will only take spit as a weapon to accelerate their growth.
"God is fair, of course. You two are stupid, so you both get second-class scholarships this time to maintain the balance of the world. "
"Can you get married with such a nasty mouth?"
"This is very interesting, your brain is really stupid. Is there a future? "
Ha ha ha ha, every time it's me and Xiao Bai who leave with a smile. And every time I lose to her, it's like secretly adding a layer of armor to her to resist external forces. It feels great.
A student's laughter and laughter are all displayed in this form, and their youth has the flavor of the times. We read here today, as if everything was us yesterday.
