Reading Notes of Luotuo Xiangzi and Gulliver’s Travels

This is a sad story, telling a vivid scene in the old city of Peking. Xiangzi came from the countryside. After he pulled a rented foreign car, he determined to buy a car and pull it himself and become an independent laborer. He is young and strong, in the golden age of his life; he is also hard-working and does not hesitate to use all his strength to achieve this goal. Encouraged and supported by strong confidence, after three years of hard work, he exchanged his own blood and sweat for a foreign car. But not long after, the warlord's rebels robbed his car; then the reactionary government's detectives defrauded him of his only savings. The owner avoided the spy tracking and even lost his relatively stable job; Huniu's kind of attitude towards him The inescapable "love" brought hardships to him both physically and mentally. Faced with these blows one after another, he struggled and still stubbornly wanted to use greater efforts to realize his dream life wishes. But everything was in vain: I bought a car with Huniu’s savings, and soon had to sell it to pay for Huniu’s funeral. His wish was "like a ghost that could never be grasped, and he suffered all the hardships and grievances in vain"; after many setbacks, it was finally completely shattered. The suicide of his beloved Xiao Fuzi blew out the last spark of hope in his heart. He lost any hope and confidence in life. He went from being motivated and strong to self-willed and degenerate: it turned out that the upright and kind-hearted Xiangzi was abandoned by the people of life. The millstone grinds it to pieces. This tragedy effectively exposes the old society's crime of turning people into ghosts. Xiangzi is an image of an ordinary coachman with a distinctive personality. He possesses many excellent qualities of the working people. He is kind and simple, loves labor, and has a camel-like positive and tenacious attitude towards life. Normally he seems to be able to endure all grievances, but there is also a need for resistance in his character. His angry resignation from Yang Zhai and his revengeful mood towards Liu Si, the owner of the car factory, can all illustrate this point; he has always wanted to be strong and struggle, which is also a manifestation of being unsatisfied with his humble social status. He didn't want to listen to Gao Ma's advice on loan sharking, he didn't want to covet Liu Si's sixty cars, and he didn't want to listen to Huniu's advice to do small business. All this shows that what he thinks "if you have your own car, you will have everything" is not He wants to use this to climb up the ladder, buy a car and become a car owner to exploit others; all he dreams of is to use his own labor to achieve an independent life. This is a humble but legitimate life desire of individual workers. The work describes how after he was robbed of his hard-earned savings by detectives at Cao's house, he was most concerned about Mr. Cao's commission because Mr. Cao was a good person in his opinion; it also described his feelings for Lao Ma and The concern of Xiao Ma's grandparents and grandchildren shows his kindness and integrity. The reason why his tragedy can arouse strong sympathy from readers is that in addition to his social status and unfair experience, these character traits also play an indelible role. Such diligent, thrifty and strong people finally turned into top "thorns" and embarked on the path of depravity, which clearly exposed the evil of unreasonable society that corrodes people's souls.

When I opened "Gulliver's Travels", I was immediately attracted by the table of contents in front of me: Adventures in Lilliput, Adventures in Adults, Flying Country... These words seemed to be inspired by the author. Magic was exerted on me. As soon as I saw this, I wanted to read on quickly. I wanted to quickly understand how there were Lilliputians and adults, and how countries could fly. With these questions in mind, I read the first chapter carefully.

This book tells the story of Gulliver who sailed with the same ship as a doctor at sea, and then encountered a storm and ventured alone to some magical countries, and finally returned to his own country. . The plot is twists and turns, mysterious, and humorous. It is very interesting to write Gulliver's adventures vividly. It's not so much "Gulliver's Travels" as "My Travels with Gulliver", because I was almost fascinated when reading this book, as if I was having an adventure with him.

But I admire his wit and bravery from the bottom of my heart. He always gives me the feeling of being "surrounded by adversity". This is the main reason why he set foot on his own country again after going through many hardships, so I am determined to learn this from him. Otherwise, if I encounter this kind of thing in the future, I might have died long ago
