What is the American spirit? I recently read the book "Style". The last chapter in the book says that those who have the American spirit are those who are mavericks. They are very few and cannot be classified by the upper, middle and lower classes. The mystery of it, contempt for the powerful and the upper class, ignoring the common man and the vulgar, and has the pursuit of independence and freedom. I think Hoover is one of those people who can embody the American spirit. He has a very stubborn character, and has a firm belief. He is going to fight the bad guys to the end and give the American people a safe place to live. With this belief, he invented a sophisticated police system, recorded people's fingerprints, and established a scientific The research team, etc., used his life to serve it. His spirit was like a fearless Hummer, galloping in the complicated and disorderly world, with a posture of endless struggle with heaven and a rebellious posture. His spirit is so magnificent, but his selfishness has made him go down the altar, fabricating the facts of the case, exaggerating his merits, deceiving and interrogating his Congress, etc. These actions tell us that no matter how great a person's spirit is, He is still unable to escape the curse of fate, cannot be separated from the invasion of desire, perfection is always stained, and so is Chairman Mao. Let us abandon the moral qualities of these public-private mergers, allow people to make mistakes, and encourage people to make meritorious deeds. Comprehensive denial and comprehensive affirmation are not comprehensive. There is always a third way to go. Perhaps, the perfect person has not yet appeared. , there needs to be a process, then let us appreciate the people who can make this process go ahead, they are heroes who push history, they deserve our applause, yes, I'm talking about Hoover.
