"There is a kind of emotion called love, which spans time, transcends space, and also crosses the barriers of the world; there is a kind of will called strong, which has endured the years, refined the vicissitudes of life, and cast aside the stale and tired constraints; there is a mentality called Calmly, it eases the pain, soothes the soreness, leaving only the light and wind between a frown and a smile..." Some people say that love is an eternal topic. Therefore, love is always an enduring topic that people talk about, and love-themed literary works will leave a much deeper mark in people's hearts. "Gone with the "Wind" (Gone with the Wind) is such a work that people always think of it whenever they talk about love. But it is not limited to this, the topics it covers are much broader than love. This is the reason for its long-lasting prosperity. It is an epic. It puts thinking about a nation, the confrontation between North and South during the American Civil War, and intersperses dignity and humanity in the entanglement of a love. After finishing it, I can't help but sigh, but at the same time, I can feel its inherent solid cultural heritage. A work with a status like a myth, tells us about the journey of a young girl named Scarlett. Some people say that this novel is a must-read book for Chinese women. I am afraid that it means that Chinese women who have been oppressed by the feudal ethics for thousands of years can see a feminist model, so to fight for their own lives and themselves. Fight for your dream! Yes, Scarlett has been like this since she was a child. She has the kind of grandeur and roughness of the southern planters of her father's generation. She doesn't seem to have inherited a little character from her mother-a typical reserved family. Women who have worked all their lives. In the American era, if a woman lacked these, she would be regarded as an unqualified person, a rebellious person, and a person who could not tolerate ethics. However, Scarlett is just like that. She is an anomaly, and her character determines that she will not be unknown and will not live an ordinary life like other women. So after losing her home for a moment of despair, she didn't get helpless, but vowed to God that she would get through the storm. After losing her mother, her father, and the slave who served them, she finally got up with her own stubborn stubbornness to walk to the upper level of society and got her initial money and status. But in the same way, because of her overly sharp personality, she experienced hardships that other people could not imagine, whether it was her career or her love. She couldn't tolerate a trace of doubt in her heart, and she couldn't deliberately conceal any true thoughts in her heart, because it meant a great deal of pain for her. Because of this, after she was convinced that she was in love with Ashley, no matter how troubled she was around her, no matter how far apart they were, even if he had married her as a wife, she never even thought about it. Compromise and give up. This seemed to her to betray her, her reason for living. What kind of character is this? This makes me think deeply, even from the current perspective, her persistence will still make most people ashamed. It is a piece of being able to stick to what is in my heart without being influenced by the outside world. Things that are too difficult, more people will gradually get lost in the busyness and faintness I won’t even notice the original self. But for feelings, this kind of decisiveness does not necessarily bring ultimate happiness. If you blindly bump into the typhoid fever, it will not only be for yourself. Scarlett never had this reason, and her stubborn character would not think of this height, so when she finally realized that the person she loved most was actually her husband Rhett who had been by her side, everything was irretrievable. Because of her unwillingness to compromise and stubborn persistence, the rift between them has been irreparable. Rhett, this humorous, clever, rebellious and cynical man has too many similarities with Scarlett. Because of this, he has always loved her deeply. He loves her uniqueness, her innocence and her rebelliousness. These insane characters seemed to him to be extremely cute. He seemed so strategizing at all times, as if everything could be under his control. The only thing that worries him is the person Scarlett is thinking about most in his heart. He can't force her to turn her heart toward him. , Especially for such a real woman. So even if they are married, he still feels that he doesn't really have her. All he can do is treat her with double material and spiritual care, hoping that she can finally change her mind. The result made him desperate. When he finally chose to leave, I was not even surprised at all, but it was a pity that Scarlett was too late to realize. He and she are actually the same kind of people, Scarlett can't deceive her own feelings, can he tolerate it? I have someone I love deeply, but I can't hold her heart. Rather than endure this kind of torture, he would rather leave desperately, which is also a kind of determination, a kind of determination that cannot bear a trace of emotional flaws. The two people who could have each other happily had their own things in the end. Just because the happiness of everyone is always the end of the fairy tale that people look forward to, tragedies are always embarrassing. But this tragedy made us think about more things. The story that seems to be completed with only one step is actually doomed to tragedy. The kind of perfect character they share together allows them to see too much imperfection in each other. Such accumulation is silent, but the result is unavoidable. This also just confirmed the topic. Before reading this book, I never understood what "Gone with the Wind" meant. After reading it, the inspiration suddenly became clear. In fact, if "gone with the The literal translation of "wind" as "Gone with the Wind" will be better understood. There are two meanings in this. Because of the twists and turns and too much hurt in the middle, the relationship between Scarlett and Rhett finally passed away like the wind. This is irreversible, even if she is stubborn, she will comfort herself every time in despair. : I don't think about it now, I'll talk about it tomorrow. But will there really be hope tomorrow? Where will the wind blow tomorrow? The second level of meaning involves the background of the novel. The author is not only satisfied with the excavation of a love story, she has sublimated it to a national level. The American Civil War finally ended in the North's victory. Most literary works will stand from the perspective of the north and the height of history to promote the benefits of unification and the bravery and wariness of the northern army. "Gone with the Wind" is commendable because it has always focused on the rise and fall of the people in the southern plantations. It allows people to look at some seemingly obvious facts from a different perspective. The final integration is indeed a general trend. The strong and the weak are also an inevitable law of history. However, people ignore the struggles of the people in the south during this period, and the pain of losing their homes. They went from the initial complete opposition with the north to the last Cooperation with the North. This is a change of a nation, a change of a way of life, a collision and even fusion of one culture with another. In the process of transformation, those past rural life, those past rebelliousness, those simple and crude cultural atmosphere, have slowly disappeared, like a gust of wind, floating in the torrent of history, no Leave a trace. Love and war, retreat and forge ahead, persist and give up, merge and fight. The criss-crossing veins really make people feel like a world away. This is a kind of solid vicissitudes and a neutral sigh. The ancients said: Reading history makes people wise. This epic work allows us to repeat disappointment and hope, wandering between dream and reality. Of course, when you are at a loss, don't forget to give yourself confidence. After all, tomorrow is another day!

    The worst way to lose someone is to be close by, but as if they are far away.

    Scarlett is a very individual woman, and Captain Ritter Butler is also unforgettable. Vivien Leigh embodies the independent and self-improving character of women in that era. Captain Ritter Butler was so charming, he smiled and said, "That's your business, dear". For Scarlett, Captain Butler really did his best, Scarlett woke up too late, "tomorrow is another day" is the most true lie.
