"Life is like a box of chocolates. You can't predict the taste of what you will eat next." A-Gump’s mother’s words are very relevant. A-Gump’s life is like this. He entered a public school and started walking with orthotics. I met Jenny and became a lifelong friend with Jenny. Later, he enlisted in the army, went to war in Vietnam, became a ping-pong coach, and then went to sea to catch shrimp. All this is just like the chocolate in the box, unpredictable, like a dream. No one can control your life, and neither can God. A-Gump had no father since he was a child, and could not walk like a normal person. He could only wear heavy orthotics. He did not feel inferior because of this. He often used the phrase "stupid and stupid" to explain his seemingly clumsy behavior. His close friend Jenny, who has been inseparable since childhood, left him again and again, and Jenny was getting tired of it. After getting rid of the lavish life outside, she returned to him. If she were someone else, such a woman would not be acceptable at all. In A-Gump's eyes, she would always be the most beautiful. No matter what she did wrong, he didn’t care. , As long as they can be together, so optimistic and open-minded! Indeed, it is optimism that makes everything happen to him. Since childhood, he has always been ridiculed by normal children and laughed at him. When others hurt him, he neither retaliates nor waits to be a sandbag. He keeps running. , Run, he stopped until the bad boys couldn't catch up with him. Sometimes when we face some troubles, we always think about how to defeat others and win victory. Forrest's principle of doing things is: I will never be an enemy of others, and if others hurt me, I will hide or flee. An optimistic and calm mentality makes him perform better than others in the military camp or on the battlefield. Going to perform military service is an unfortunate thing in the eyes of many young people, but he ran into the barracks with a smile, and was reused like a fish, and was sent to the battlefield in Vietnam. No matter how bad the conditions are, he never complains. He can't be regarded as a brave fighter on the battlefield, but he saved his superiors and his comrades with astonishing speed at the last moment. And his best friend in military life, his life-and-death comrades died in this battle. Forrest Gump was shot in the body while braving the rain of bullets to save Captain Dan. Fortunately, this bullet hit his ass. Suffered. If you lose, you have to gain. He was injured but learned to play table tennis in the hospital. He played very well and was out of control. Later, he played against the Chinese table tennis team on behalf of the United States. He was also awarded a medal for his outstanding performance in battle. He doesn't take honor very seriously, and he is even more indifferent to money. In order to fulfill his promise to Bab, Forrest Gump went to sea to catch shrimps after serving his full military service. What he first caught was all broken copper and iron. After a storm, more and more shrimp were caught. Until later developed to have more than a dozen "Jenny" shrimp boats, became a rich man. He shared the money he earned with Lieutenant Dan, who had disabled legs, built a church, and donated money to the poor. In A-Gump's view, the money was enough to spend. The most touching thing is that he let Babu's mother own shares in his company, and when Jenny died, he married her and took care of her until Jenny left the world with a smile. Some people think that A-Gump is too stupid and too stupid to use honor and money, but I think he is a smart, kind-hearted person who knows how to love and know how to live. There are ups and downs in A-Gump's life, as well as luck. His success tells us to face misfortunes bravely and optimistically, to be indifferent to money and honor, and to treat others kindly, so that you can have a good life. When we keep asking what is the most important thing in our lives, we forget that, in fact, living and living out of your own splendor is the greatest meaning of life.
