Sometimes there is always an urge to cry in my heart. This may be because I haven't cried for too long, so I want to be moved once. I cried a lot with this movie. In fact, now that I am so old, I hate sensational programs, because I always feel that it is very fake, but I am often moved by a mess. After watching it, I chatted with a few good classmates, and found that everyone was equally moved and inspired by this film. Why is this? At first, I thought that because we are in such a struggling age, we do not know where to go in the future. We have dreams in our hearts and are full of ambitions for the future, but due to our lack of understanding of reality and the limitations of our own quality, We always fail to satisfy ourselves. This may be because we seek too much, as Arland Bolton said in "Anxiety of Identity", "We expect far more than our ancestors imagined, but the price we pay is forever. We can never settle for the status quo, and we will always have unfulfilled dreams.” So when we see such a film, it tells you that as long as you work hard and as long as you have faith, then you will succeed, and we will be shocked like this, and a hope will rise out of nothing in our hearts. But after reading so many film reviews, I found that it is not just us college students or young people. The Chinese people in this era are actually not doing well. We need to face too many problems, and our hearts will never be calm.
There are many touching scenes in the film, and I don't want to list them all here, but when I write this text, the pictures will keep flashing in my mind. At the end of the film there is a painting with the words "With God, all things are possible", so what is God? Is that the white-bearded grandpa we imagined smilingly looking at us in the sky? Nobody knows. This film guides people's beliefs in the name of God, and encourages people to persevere, be brave, and not be afraid of failure. By extension, we can think of the meaning of life, or the definition of happiness. When I was reading a book recently, I wanted to understand why there are so many conflicts in the mottos of many thinkers, and why there are completely opposite views in many books. In fact, the reason lies in these two points. One is that their assumptions about human nature are different, and the other is that They have different definitions of the meaning of life. These two questions are very interesting. First of all, how should we view human nature? Has human nature become complicated? Let’s leave the first question aside, but has human nature changed? Human nature is inherently complex, but from a psychological point of view, human nature has not changed. To a complex person, the world is complicated, and to a simple person, the world is simple, just like an adult sees the world as chaotic, but to a child, the world is always simple. The world we see is just a projection of our inner world, and we always see what we want to see, which is why two similar people become more and more similar. The world doesn't change, we do. What about the definition of the meaning of life? No two people will give the same answer. Many people nowadays are reluctant to spend time thinking about this question. In fact, now I don’t think it is necessary to think about it, because this is a question that has no answer. We just need to keep moving forward. Enough. But if we keep going forward, we will still encounter problems, so we need faith to make us persist, but faith will always be associated with meaning, so this is still an unavoidable problem. Let's talk about this film. Christians believe in God. They think that the meaning of life is to glorify God, to show the glory of God, and then to get what you expect and get happiness. If happiness is the meaning of life, I actually prefer this definition, then this belief is indeed good. When I was watching the movie, I was very interested in the process of the protagonist’s conversion to God. When faced with so many difficulties and I didn’t know what to do, I chose to believe in God, and then God just heard his call and made a In response, his faith became stronger and stronger. I mean it's not him Believing in God, but he chooses to believe in God, I think these are two completely different things. When a person has nowhere to go, is it right to choose to believe in something? Is this the same as many people believe in fate, believe in divination, and believe in astrology? That is to say, when we can't find another explanation, we choose to believe in one thing, which I think is blind. Regardless of whether God really exists or not, the role of faith is indeed very huge. It makes a person no longer doubt, fear, hesitate, and no longer care about gains and losses, but to work hard and earnestly, which in itself is success prerequisites.
For a nation like us without religious beliefs, and for a materialist like me who is very rational and always has to get to the bottom of everything, it is really difficult to truly believe in a god and convert to a religion. There is no doubt that religious belief can indeed bring us many benefits, allowing us to do more good deeds, to love the people around us better, and the whole world will be better because of it. If we can't, maybe we can try to cultivate that mental state of believing that hard work will pay off, perseverance, gratitude, self-control, hard work, never give up, don't care about the results and enjoy the process. This state is a state that a person who wants to succeed must work hard to cultivate. It can also bring us the success we want and bring us happiness. Of course, this must first be established on the premise that happiness is the meaning of life superior. In the first column of Fenxiang Moment on Youmi.com, the host's speech has a lot to do with belief. The text is very beautiful. I write it here as the end of this article and my current belief. I don't remember the past, don't Look forward to the future, live only in the present.
"I remember that in the promotional video of the "We" column, there was such a description of the era we live in today. Because of our accelerated pace, because of the acceleration of our changes, because of global uncertainty, we persisted but could not find it. We give up but find it too hard to start anew, we live in someone else's territory but we are reluctant, we stick to our ship but it is difficult to land. We wander. We lose our opportunities. We struggle. But we can't see the rapids and shoals ahead. We are anxious, but we don't know why, we are indifferent, but we can't face the inner call.
Many friends told me that these few words are an appropriate description of their psychological state. But I I don't think this is accurate. Because I often find some kind of driving force hidden in the depths of people's hearts, that is the basis for the feet to keep moving forward.
I also have such a feeling in my heart . The power comes from the ginkgo tree
at Peking University. I remember when I was very young, I secretly made up my mind to go to Peking University. Due to various reasons, my undergraduate degree did not come true. In 1983, I came to the summer camp for college students. Beijing, when I finally had a chance. When I saw the appearance of Peking University, the first thing I saw was not the Boya Tower, not the Weiming Lake, but the ginkgo tree shining in the sun. Because my dream of going to Peking University is too similar The golden ginkgo leaves in front of him shone as brightly.
Now, when I stand in front of such a palpable dream, I realize that I am just a visitor here. An unspeakable grievance brought me to tears. At that moment, the golden color of the ginkgo became the color of my dream, and the ginkgo tree drove straight into the depths of my heart, and has never left me since. Eight years later, I finally had the opportunity to be admitted to Peking University as a doctoral student. Every ginkgo tree in Yanyuan is an old friend of mine. During the three years of study, I lingered around them countless times.
In the summer, I can hear the sound of the sap flowing in its branches in its vigorous growth. In autumn, I can appreciate every leaf. Say goodbye to the meditation of the sky, in winter, I can touch it, quietly absorb the tranquility of the earth's nutrients. In the spring breeze, I can feel the small buds growing stubbornly when it is warm and cold. I am always observing throughout the year. Each ginkgo tree is a colorful and dreamlike interpretation of the life process.
Therefore, there is always a sleeping thing in the body, which is moved a little by it, and there is always a faint desire in the heart, which is aroused by it. It makes you always unable to live with it, unable to settle down, and have to look for the power to break the ground like the grass. It pushes you when you approach it, and when you leave it there is still a kind of Andante that accompanies you everywhere. "
