The Moon and Six Pence
Yesterday I finished a novel named "The Moon and Six Pence". It tells a legend story of a great painter, who used to be a undistinguished stock broker. He was a dull person in life and had a respectable family, so at beginning I think the man just a footnote in this book. But with close reading I was shocked when the Englishman gave up all he had and pursued for his dream. It's a little ridiculous but the story is still moving --- in life there is something deserving us to pay for it.
