My thoughts after reading "A Friend Who Cherishes His Nose"

Shen Congwen used his wonderful writing techniques to compile this "Song Notes on a Travel to Hunan". The article "A Friend Who Cherishes His Nose" has an interesting title and deeply attracted me.

This article mainly tells the story of the "friend who cares about his nose", who mistakenly took cow dung for a football and kicked others into confusion. Therefore, he is known as the "blind Indian man".

"The Blind Man" has a distinctive big nose. The fortune teller "Wang Banxian" said that his nose is "a dragon", so whenever others say that his life will be short, he always stares. With his eyes widened, he raised his head, pointed at his nose and said: "I have this nose, I can live to be eighty-eight!"

He has this kind of tenacity that refuses to admit defeat. When his classmates laughed at him, he always smiled and replied in a winning tone, "I have this nose, and I will have no problem living until I'm eighty-eight." Think about us now. We give up after failing once. We have no spirit of refusing to admit defeat. We are as fragile as a dilapidated house. It will fall down when the wind blows, and it is not even as good as the weeds on the roadside.

In the 16th year of the Republic of China, the revolutionary army captured Wuhan during the Northern Expedition, and the Party's influence in the two lakes was everywhere. Therefore, the "blind Indian" entered the Changsha Party Secret Service School for training and became a assistant to a certain committee member. Later, the "blind Indian" became the director of department store donations. After I met him again, I learned that he had been in the army and had been a bandit, but he could not survive. Finally, he became the director of department stores.

From this, I guessed that the "blind man" must have gone through all kinds of hardships before he became the department store donation director. From a soldier to a bandit to a director, he has experienced so many hardships. But he persisted. Nowadays, many people have lost this spirit of perseverance. After failing once, they run away in confusion and give up. As a result, they end up with nothing. "Failure is the mother of success." Without failure, there would be no success. If a person's life is smooth sailing, then his life will definitely not be outstanding.

We should become more courageous with every setback, not afraid of difficulties, dare to fight, work hard for ourselves, and strive for our own brilliant life!
