202329 Reading Notes | "The Veil" - I know you are stupid, frivolous and empty-minded, but I love you. I know your intentions, your ideals, you are snobbish and vulgar, but I love you.
A book I read because of a passage: [ " I know you are stupid, frivolous, and empty-minded, but I love you. I know your intentions, your ideals, you are snobbish and vulgar, but I love you. I know you You're a second-rate guy, but I love you. I've gone to great lengths to appreciate the things you're passionate about, and I've gone to great lengths to show you that I'm not ignorant, vulgar, gossipy, and stupid. I know the wisdom will shock you. , so be cautious at all times and be sure to act as stupid as any man you date. I know you only married me for your own sake. I love you so much that I don't care. As far as I know, people When you fall in love with someone but don't get reciprocated, you often feel sad and disappointed, which then turns into anger and acrimony. I'm not like that. I never expected you to love me, I never imagined that you would have a reason to love me, and I didn't I have never considered myself lovable. To me, I should be grateful to have been given the opportunity to love you.”]
"The Veil" is a book I finished reading in 2017. There is also a famous Maugham book called "The Moon and Sixpence", but I never have the patience to finish it. In the days that followed, my mood was not as good as before, and I was less able to read longer books. Except for "Three Lives Three Worlds Bu Sheng Lian" which I like very much.
Maybe I am already old. From a young eagle who just graduated to a wife and a mother, I have become a mother.
In addition to the changes in life, I have also experienced some ups and downs in my heart, and I have gained a new background and understanding. The following is a book review of that moment. My mood and feelings have been slightly changed to preserve it.
"Veil" - all kinds of masks accumulated on people, for vanity and to better cater to life. If you can honestly face your own heart, accept the human nature that abounds in people, accept your own imperfections and the imperfections of those around you, and then do something, whether it is to change or pursue faith, to prevent yourself from living a life that Tai Lu Lu, I have expectations and hope~
The books I have read recently seem to be touching after reading them. Well, it opens up a huge picture to you. You watch the author's eloquent strokes and words add dye and color to it, mixed with it. With beautiful and tragic pain, it quietly tells the lives of the characters in the story in a short space of time. There are admirable shining points of humanity in them. Of course, they are all ordinary people. They are not perfect. In them There is also a wealth of paranoia and stubbornness that belongs to everyone, which is the shining point of their souls and the unique energy of their bodies. They are rich because they are unique.
Katie: At first, she had a weak sense of family and didn’t seem to have much affection for her father, mother, and sisters. Due to her mother’s teachings, she was selfish. Her mother’s values believed that she must find someone with a good social status and wealth. Men can get married even if they don't have love. Marriage is like a hunter's game to her. She wanders around the banquet arranged by her mother and moves between men with ease and ease. Until she met Walter and was used to seeing too many passionate pursuits, Katie felt shy and clumsy about his expressing love to her. She actually felt that Walter was not such a boring person. He also had a lovely side and couldn't help his mother forcing him to marry him. The sarcastic sister will also enter the embarrassing situation of marriage. She agreed to Walter, who would appear in front of her at almost every banquet and was deeply affectionate to her. Of course, she didn't know much about this. There were too many people hovering around her, and she didn't notice him.
After experiencing the pain that life brought her and what she experienced during cholera, she finally felt that she was not as stupid as Walter said. She was smart about communication, but about life, especially love, she was probably not as stupid as love. stupid.
Walter: A man who is a bacteriologist and is keen on doing experiments. He has great wisdom and depth when looking at others. He has both small and large loves in his heart. He is shy to express himself in life and always has a lukewarm and bland look. I don’t like it. Noisy, serious about work, very step-by-step person. There is no doubt that he loves his wife, very much, even a little sickly. He always feels that it should not be too much and should be moderate. However, it seems that no matter how much he loves, he cannot change the fact that his wife Katie does not love him. I always feel that if he could be less paranoid about Katie, maybe his life could be a little better, but if that were the case, then there would definitely be no story.
After Walter learned about Katie, he looked calm, wise and deep. He felt that he was really too kind and tolerant. The two decided to go to the cholera land. I think at this time Walter wanted Katie to Maybe you can change your mind after seeing the truth clearly. When they came to the land of cholera, both of them experienced different things. Katie saw death in the monastery, saw the devotion to life, and lived a serious life with the soul. She began to forget the person who hurt her but she still missed her. People, here, she also saw some shining points in Walter that she had never noticed. He loved her, he loved his work and was dedicated, and he liked children. People here admired and appreciated him. . Walter came to the land of cholera to save the dying and help people in distress, hoping that the two of them could forget the pain they had suffered. A broken mirror is hard to mend, which probably means that there is a rift between two people. No matter how open-minded it is, it still takes time. At this time, he still has hope in his heart. This hope completely collapsed when Katie was pregnant and Walter asked who the child was, and Katie replied that she didn't know. Katie has also changed. Like her usual style, she should say yes, so that the relationship between the two people can be eased a lot and the rift can be weakened. However, Katie said she didn’t know, and I feel that this incident contributed to it. Walter experimented on himself and died tragically due to the cholera virus. Perhaps for Walter, death at this time was a relief. I hope that in the days that belong to him, if there is a soul after death, his soul can have a wonderful life~
As Katie experienced these changes, she always felt unspeakably sad that Walter had received the lunch box so hastily. He shouldn't have ended up like this.
At this time, Katie's knowledge, vision, misfortune and grief made her suffer tremendously, and also allowed her to discover the fatal flaws in her body, the kindness of the human soul that she should not lose, and she discovered this , so after meeting Charlie, rejecting Charlie, and staying away from Charlie, she began to realize that life should not be casual and arbitrary, but should be based on principles, which should be the inner benchmark. She didn't know where she was going, but she wanted to start over in a new place. Her mother died of illness. Because of her mother's character, she realized her father. She began to have a relationship with him like a father and daughter for the first time, and her life became transparent. and light, where the story ends abruptly.
The veil was picked up because of a passage, ["I know you are stupid, frivolous, and empty-minded, but I love you. I know your intentions, your ideals, you are snobbish and vulgar, but I love you. I know you are second-rate. Dude, but I love you. I've gone to great lengths to appreciate the things you're passionate about, and I've gone to great lengths to show you that I'm not ignorant, vulgar, gossipy, and stupid. I know the wisdom will blow your mind, so Be careful and act as stupid as any man you date. I know you only married me for your own sake. I love you so much that I don't care. As far as I know, people love When the last person doesn't reciprocate, I often feel sad and disappointed, which then turns into anger and acrimony. I'm not like that. I never expected you to love me, I never imagined that you would have a reason to love me, and I never I think I am lovable. For me, I should be grateful for being given the opportunity to love you."] I was moved, and I felt how could a person say this and have such a feeling. After reading this book, I found some Touching, some people don’t know how to describe that feeling, they just feel how can there be such entanglements between people, no matter how much fault anyone has, there are so many coincidences and some inevitable consequences.
There are some things I can't understand. Well, you still have to rely on yourself to experience love and future marriage. The descriptions in the book are too extreme. Maybe it is too high and realistic and too beyond my imagination. Just read it ~ In the
Veil There is no character that I like very much. If I had to pick one, it would be Walter.
Well, when getting married in life, women all want a husband who loves them very much, but no one is perfect. I have read a sentence that says everyone's strengths are their weaknesses, and everyone's weaknesses are their strengths. It's true, don't be too high-spirited, just about the same, manage it well, people are emotional animals, and they will have feelings when they get along, and the love will grow deeper over time. This is my current understanding. Maybe my mood is different at different times, and my understanding will also change. Who knows? Move forward with life and grow slowly~ But it’s a busy life, with work, expectations, and hopes, it’s pretty good~
