Reflection on Fortress Besieged 1 "Those in the city want to escape, while those outside the city want to rush in." Fortress Besieged always seems to describe two kinds of people's moods, but when reading these words, I always feel that there is a third kind of person.
This "third kind" is a person who is inside the fence but doesn't know it, or even if he knows it, he is completely unmoved and simply wants to be indifferent to this life inside the fence.
Come to think of it carefully, this kind of person is probably the most pitiful kind of person. They knew they were trapped in a besieged city, but they still didn't respond. It seems that besieged city is their inescapable fate in life. When I got used to the habit of being forbidden by thick city walls, I forgot my embarrassment in the besieged city at first, but began to enjoy the "fun" of the city, turned myself into a "utopia" resident and opened up my own "small town" in the besieged city. Although absurd, it is also very realistic.
The author Qian Zhongshu also said in the postscript, "What I wrote in Fortress Besieged is all fiction, but what I remember is all facts."
Besieged city, besieged city, city people hate people outside the city, and city people cherish city people.
City people are always thoughtless and brainless. They may forget, or they may forget, that they are not just "alive", and everything is going well. Forgetting how to live is the third kind of sorrow in human bones.
In fact, not only thoughts, marriage, work, interpersonal relationships, but even the whole world is besieged. In the whole book, I was most impressed by the limitations and complexity of people portrayed by Qian Zhongshu. Everyone has been climbing different walls all his life until he can't climb any more. Ironically, however, people often want to understand but can't see through, and still can't restrain themselves from following things inside and outside the city. This is the limitation and complexity of human beings.
Now I'm still a fan of the authorities. I can't influence others, but I can choose a road or a less cramped city, whether it's study or life. Maybe it should be said, "I'm honored. I still have enough energy to choose some walls to climb."
Reflections on Fortress Besieged 2 Today, I finished reading Fortress Besieged by Qian Zhongshu, a famous writer in China. This book is beautifully written, with many writing techniques, and every bit is memorable.
The book Fortress Besieged is mainly about: Fang Hung-chien, a "fake" doctor, came back from abroad, only to be pursued by Miss Su in the same boat. Later, Fang Hung-chien racked his brains to break off his friendship with Miss Su and went out to look for a job with Zhao. They used to be rivals in love, but now they are friends. On the way, Fang Hung-chien knew Miss Sun, and the three of them became professors in a national university. Fang Hung-chien gradually fell in love with Miss Sun, and after several years of hard work, they finally got together. Unexpectedly, the relationship between the two became worse and worse after marriage, and finally broke up in repeated quarrels.
The book Fortress Besieged is full of stars and countless strokes. There are many metaphors, personification, exaggeration and other techniques, which are very relaxed and humorous and make people laugh when reading.
Especially these words: "who knows that everything from cold dishes to coffee is not delicious: the soup served is cold, but the ice cream is hot;" Fish, like marines, have been logged in for several days; Meat is like a submarine soldier, lying in the water for a long time; Except vinegar, bread, butter and red wine are all sour. The child is under two years old. His nose is flat, his eyes are oblique, his eyebrows are high and far away from his eyes, and he is lovesick, just like the face of China people in newspaper cartoons. "What's even more amazing is that it is also worthy of our careful refinement and taste.
While digesting beautiful words, I also admire Mr. Qian Zhongshu's writing ability. After reading the book Fortress Besieged, you will find that the book is cleverly connected and thoughtful, and everything that happens is so natural. In the flowing water, Fortress Besieged was completed.
After reading Fortress Besieged, I learned a lot of writing skills, which is of great help to improve my writing level, so it is of great significance to me.
Reflections on Fortress Besieged 3 Fortress Besieged is a novel published in the 1940s. The author is scholar writer Qian Zhongshu (1910-1998), who is from Wuxi, Jiangsu. 1933 graduated from Tsinghua University Foreign Languages Department, and then studied in Britain and France. Fortress Besieged was written in 1944 and completed in 1946. At that time, the author lived in Shanghai and heard about the atrocities of the Japanese invaders. "Two years of worrying about the world and hurting life" (the preface to Fortress Besieged), and at the same time "saving money" put his feelings and thoughts on life and academics into writing, and completed the novel Fortress Besieged.
What does Besieged City contain?
Besieged city is not only about marriage, but also applies to every situation in life. People who stand outside the city want to come in, while those who stay in the city think that no place is absolutely good. What people want will also be lost. In this way, the author describes the experience of the protagonist Fang Hung-chien in Fortress Besieged with his superb satirical humor and unique artistic style.
What does Fortress Besieged tell?
The author created a story that always reveals sadness but is full of comedy with teasing, humor and satire, and described numerous entanglements in life, work and marriage of a group of international students and university professors, as well as the wretched and gray life of intellectuals influenced by western culture, which showed the author's ruthless mockery of western-style intellectuals in old China. The people in Fortress Besieged are pitiful, painful, embarrassed, ridiculous, selfish, timid, despicable, arrogant, and of course, there is happiness-happiness in the gap of embarrassment. All this is filled with the author's tragic consciousness, which makes everyone who has experienced the ups and downs of life feel the same way.
Besieged city is the grave of feelings? Getting means losing at the same time?
Throughout the ages, you have never seen a kind of acacia, and there are two kinds of lingering feelings: the belt is getting wider and wider, and you will never regret it, pining for Iraq; Life and death are broad, and the child becomes a child; Hold your hand and grow old with your son; If the relationship between two people lasts for a long time, is it a matter of time? There are two lovesickness scenes in the emotional besieged city, a growing old together in the love besieged city, and a butterfly flying together in butterfly lovers.
The philosophy of survival inside and outside the besieged city is always so incisive!
After watching Fortress Besieged, modern people have a more open attitude towards marriage. They quickly entered the besieged city and came out soon. What they are familiar with is that they got married soon and divorced soon after marriage. How can such a person understand the meaning of love and the true meaning of life? It is not easy for two people to be in a besieged city. Now that we are married, we should understand each other, understand each other, manage this love well and run a family well. Everyone should be humble to each other, and don't let each other have the idea of escape. Have you all found better happiness for those who have escaped from the besieged city of marriage? Don't you have any regrets when you look back on your old love?
What are the reasons for divorce? The reason for divorce is marriage. No beginning, no end! When two people with completely different brains, bodies, sexes, dreams and personalities are combined, it is hard to imagine that they can always follow Qi Mei's example and live happily in the next few decades. But when choosing a marriage, everyone should expect something from it. One of the most vague and correct answers is that we all want to have happiness. Even though he always insisted that marriage is a system that restricts people's freedom, Qian Zhongshu, who vowed never to get married, willingly entered the besieged city of marriage after meeting the handsome and arrogant Jiang Yang.
There is an amazing fact in marriage: most quarrels between husband and wife are insoluble. Couples try to change each other's minds year after year, but they all fail, because most of their differences stem from fundamental differences in lifestyle, personality or values. Arguing about these differences will lead to wasting their time and ruining their marriage. No matter what method you use, you can't solve the contradiction between husband and wife. On the contrary, couples need to understand the fundamental differences that lead to conflicts between them, and then, on this basis, respect and appreciate each other to accommodate these differences. Marriage is not equal to happiness once and for all, it is not a result, but the best practice.
After reading Fortress Besieged, I often hold a copy of Fortress Besieged in my summer vacation and feel the intricate humanity in Qian Zhongshu's works. Fortress Besieged left a deep impression on me with its humorous brushwork, calm criticism and long lasting appeal, which made me feel more than happiness when I was hiding it.
People often say that Fortress Besieged is a description of married life, which shows the embarrassment of marriage like a besieged city. But in my opinion, this is a book about human nature. Everything in this world: marriage, wealth, fame, status and even freedom, is "people outside want to go in, people inside want to come out". Before rushing into the "besieged city", we should see everything clearly and understand everything so that we won't get tired of life.
Once upon a time, a fisherman basked in the sun lazily after fishing for a long time, and a tourist spoke passionately about how to make a fortune by fishing. The fisherman asked, "What can you do if you get rich?" The tourists said dismissively, "At that time, you could have food and clothing, enjoy unlimited sunshine and beautiful scenery, and do nothing." The fisherman smiled and said, "I enjoy it now, don't I?"
In my opinion, it can be said that the fisherman is not enterprising, but at least he is a wise man who sees through the emptiness of wealth. How many people are chasing wealth, just like cats chasing mice. However, those really rich people try to give up the drag of fame, return to simple life and leisure, and spend endless wealth in exchange for the peace and health they abandoned in the past. Thus, inadvertently, wealth has built a wall between ordinary people and the rich, but people inside and outside are constantly changing and circulating.
None of us want to be exhausted for that city, so how can we be a wise man who laughs at the storm in the city? I think, whether it is marriage or wealth, everyone has a reason to want to go in and out. With marriage, you have the comfort of life, without marriage, you have freedom and happiness; With wealth, you have a superior life. Without wealth, you have a weak mentality. So we can stay in the city or settle outside the city. We just need a pair of eyes to see the reality clearly and recognize everything we have. Don't rush out of the besieged city of "marriage" and get into the fence of "freedom"
Life is like a patchwork of besieged cities. People who stay still for a long time will miss too much, and people who run around for a long time will be exhausted. Only those who are good at finding the rhythm of walking between cities will have an infinitely beautiful life.
Random thoughts on Fortress Besieged 6 Fortress Besieged is the first masterpiece and novel I read. At that time (junior high school), I only thought that the author's language use could be described as "arbitrary", and the description of human beings was even more ingenious. Only people with "profound skills" can write articles that are casual but not empty, interesting but not grandiose, sharp and not extreme. And such an author must have a certain realm, and his heart is not about foreign things.
Watching Fortress Besieged, I have been working for four years. Needless to say, the language in the text is full of jokes and abuse, but the characters in the play are even more sensational. China people have been talking about inner cultivation, and now we are talking about putting our hearts right. Mentality is of course important, but isn't human ability, situation and situation created by ability important? If Fang Hung-chien is not ignorant, he is not a "useless man". If not, he won't be trivial and full of complaints all day; Not to mention, I often quarrel with my wife to fulfill the spell of Fortress Besieged. Look at that Zhao, he is also lovelorn-or he was abandoned by Su, which is far more serious than Fang Hung-chien's pursuit-after all, Zhao has been with Su for "twenty years"! However, Zhao is not serious. First of all, he is more rational and frank. More importantly, he is outstanding in talent, ability, skill and career.
As the saying goes, "Busy bees have no time to worry". Similarly, people who have experienced a good time do not need to be sentimental. However, nine times out of ten, how can we solve them one by one simply by "mentality"? Spiritual pleasure needs the support of reality, and pleasure in suffering is not the way. There are conditions for inner happiness-although material pursuit is by no means the ultimate meaning of life.
Therefore, people cannot be mercenary, but they cannot be indifferent; People can't be greedy, and at the same time they don't have to compete with the world for profit. "mentality" is one's own spirit, and "pursuit" determines one's own material; Spirit and matter complement each other and become "life" together for "life". After all, not everyone can reach the state of Zhuangzi, and not everyone is willing to reach it.
Fortress Besieged is surrounded by the heart, but it is difficult to "have nothing" outside the heart. Active struggle, honest struggle, correct mentality, chest can hold things, happy life, should be eligible to claim.
After reading Fortress Besieged 7, I have always liked Mr. Qian's works, especially Fortress Besieged. I have nothing to do, and I always like to savor it.
Fortress Besieged is a realistic satire novel with a unique style, and it is also a picture of a city. Writer Acheng once said when talking about Fortress Besieged: "The secular modality in his works is, to put it mildly, flesh and blood."
Fortress Besieged, from the protagonist Fang Hung-chien's return from studying abroad, to a tragedy of double love, to the protagonist's frustration in leaving Shanghai to find a job, to returning to Shanghai to get married, and then to the boredom of the protagonist's life and the death of his marriage. A book "Fortress Besieged" is like this. Mr. Qian hit the nail on the head with a pungent pen, showing the soul of the character in front of his eyes, which made people feel a lot after reading it.
The novel says that the marriage of the protagonist Fang Hung-chien is like a besieged city. He wanted to go out as soon as he stepped forward, but he tried desperately to get in. As a student, marriage is not a topic I should discuss. But I think Mr. Qian named after Fortress Besieged not only tells us that marriage is like a besieged city, but also tells us that life is more like a besieged city. And we always turn around in the same place, doing the same thing over and over again, finding a cage to lock ourselves up, and then finding that the scenery opposite is better than here, so we come out of this cage and enter that cage again, and so on. In fact, people are like this, building a siege for themselves, then trapping themselves, and then feeling sorry for themselves until they die. "Marriage is like a besieged city. People in the city want to go out and people outside the city want to come in. " Life is like marriage. Actually, why bother? Why not open the wall in your heart, and you will find that the scenery here is unique. Fortress Besieged is really a good book, and every time you read it, you will have a new feeling. Let me have a leisure time after my busy life and study; Let me read all kinds of things in the book to laugh at all kinds of things in the world; Let me fly over the high wall and not be a person in the besieged city; More importantly, it taught me what real life is!
In addition, after reading Fortress Besieged 8, a large number of subtle metaphors in the book are also used very skillfully, which adds a lot of color to the humorous effect of the novel. For example, when Su Gang made her debut, the author described her complicated feelings like this: "At that time, Miss Su valued her love too much and refused to give it casually. Now it's like making a dress, reluctant to wear it, locked in a box, and suddenly discovering that the appearance and color of this dress are not fashionable for a year or two, and some feel sorry for themselves. " For example, Li's portrait reads: "Mr. Li's face is missing black eyes, and his big white eyes are like shelled boiled eggs."
That's disgusting. Another example: "Hung-chien was so hungry that he couldn't sleep well. His body was like a colleague's purse. He didn't have any documents and almost touched his back." What a good image. Another example is the wedding scene of Su and Cao Yuanlang and their embarrassment: "Cao Yuanlang wore a black tweed dress and was so busy that he was sweating all over ... I'm afraid his whole fat body melted into sweat, like a foreign candle into a pool of oil. Miss Su is also nervous and ugly ... The bride and groom can't cry or laugh. It's not like a happy event at all. Like-no, not like the guillotine. Yes, just like those expressions under the "beware of pickpockets" sign in public places. It is lifelike, and its humorous effect is really unbearable! Especially the image of Miss Bao. " Some people call her deli, because only deli will publicly display those many warm meats; Others call her' truth' because it is said that' truth' is naked.
Miss Bao was not naked, so they changed it to be partially true. "It seems that although you can make people cry with laughter, you are actually criticizing Miss Bao for studying abroad, and you have got nothing but learning some bad kung fu. What a profound irony lies behind humorous jokes! Therefore, after reading Qian Zhongshu's Fortress Besieged, you will fall into deep meditation after laughing. Following the train of thought, you find that it looks like a love novel, but in fact it is more about revealing human nature. No wonder some people say that Fortress Besieged and A Dream of Red Mansions have the same effect! And still!
After watching Fortress Besieged, I didn't find it very interesting when I first saw Fortress Besieged. But as a masterpiece, it must have its own uniqueness. With this in mind, I went on reading, and sure enough, the more I read, the more interesting I became. Especially the figurative metaphor and humorous language, made me laugh out loud several times.
In each of our lives, we have had a Sue who worships ourselves, or had a congenial relationship but was separated by misunderstanding. We are full of illusions about love, thinking that one day when two people who love each other and are soul mates get married, they can follow Qi Mei's example and help each other to grow old together.
"Your good temper and great measures, why don't you leave some at home and enjoy it for me? When you meet an outsider, bow your head and smile apologetically; Go home and give it to me. If you don't speculate, you will turn your face and quarrel. " We were, and are, polite to outsiders and angry with our families.
Marriage is like a city, people outside the city want to go in and people in the city want to come out. Life is not only poetry and distance, but also the present. The following summary is more in depth:
From marriage to feeling that life is a besieged city. Fang Hung-chien is constantly eager to break out of the "besieged city", but he has to enter another "besieged city". Life seems to be deliberately against him, always running counter to his own ideas: he doesn't want to get married, but his father gave him a wife, but he was also blessed by "disaster" and had the opportunity to study abroad; He didn't want to get any degree, so he bought a fake diploma at the urging of his father and father-in-law. He didn't love his own Sue, but fell in love with the gentle and clever one, but broke up because of misunderstanding. When he arrived at the university, he didn't want to fill in a fake degree on his resume in order to achieve psychological balance, but he was excluded by Han, director of the Foreign Languages Department, who was also a doctor at Clayton University. He was afraid of falling in love with Miss Sun, but somehow agreed to Miss Sun's marriage ... Some people think this is a novel about the isolation and inability to communicate between people. Others think that it explains the absurd philosophical proposition of life; Some people combine the fate of the characters with the realistic struggle life, and think that this absurdity is caused by their spiritual siege. Only in the face of a broad life can we get rid of the shackles of all kinds of besieged cities. Every understanding makes sense, which is the charm of the novel.
