My favourite book
why do i like reading?It's not only for something hypocritical like pretending to have a good taste or passing an examination,but it also because of a need to enrich ourslves,and to expel the spiritual emptiness.A book in one hand,a cup of tea in the other,and a totally quiet and peace comes to me.
The green tree is one of my favourite books,it's a story about intellectual growing-up by chinese writer Zhangxianliang.when life deprives everything ,every right of a person,the last and only thing he remans is a skin-bag,which need to get continuous food to make it move on to work.
As a intellectual in the specific history condition of china,the hero of The green tree who names Zhang yonglin suffered severe political blows time after time,those setbacks drained his pride and dignity,leaving him alone with exausted and hungry.knowledge means nothing to him.it was the start of disaster and meanwhile it was the source of hope. he was driven by the instinct of animals,using all his wisdom to get him stuffed,but even so,he can't realise his little requirment in the era of scarcity.He can be as despicable as you can imagine when he was hungry,paradoxically,he can be so remorse and regret in the bottom of the heart when he was full.
The green tree represents a kind flower names rhododendra,which is also the name of the heroine.Rhododendra is just like the green tree standing in the deserted heart of Zhang yonglin and finally bring it back to life,back to humanity.She showed a huge sympathy for Zhang and feed him without asking any payment just because her admire to Zhang‘s profound learning,although they went apart at last,when Zhang was exiled faraway,she still wating for him without married.and they never met again……Rhododendra is an illiterate girl,she was swindeled to bear a girl,she can't use rhetorics,or do or say anything elegant,but her pure and unselfish love for Zhang is illuminating the darkest corner of heart in those ridiculous years.
I was so touched by the innocent love and unfair destiny that i weeped for times,And the dark side of human nature was exposed thoroughly in front of us,i can't help to think about what would i do when the world turns its back to me,will i stick on to my will?will i throw away my dignity flattering around?or,will there be another Rhododendra to warm and disolve my heart,planting green trees on the deserted land for me?
