Life is ordinary, but not ordinary. Ordinary life also has ups and downs and is full of fun. Mr. Feng Jicai’s "Fantastic People in the World" puts it well, "A craftsman relies on his hands, and his hands must have unique skills." "In every walk of life, there are a few living gods with the same skills as in the sky. Carving bricks, making clay figurines, Kite Wei, Machine King, Brush Li, etc. Tianjin people like to call people like this by combining their surnames with their specialty, but no one knows their names at the dock. "Dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang."
In ordinary life, will the lives of these strange people with "special skills" be ordinary?
But the crux of the matter is, "Craftsmen rely on their hands, and their hands must have unique skills. Those who have unique skills eat meat and stand brightly in the middle of the street; those who are incompetent eat vegetarian food and become withered. , Stay aside. This routine is not made by anyone, it is truly a way of life on the dock."
You have to have real skills to avoid being dull! Without real ability, you will not only be ordinary and mediocre, but it will be even worse, and your life will be a mess.
We must live an ordinary life extraordinary. You have to rely on that talent. Not only was this a way of life at that time, but talent is also indispensable today.
In this era, talented people are not afraid of not being able to meet Bole, but they are afraid that their talents are not as good as others. With the progress of society, natural selection occurs, the strong survive and the weak are eliminated. This is not cruel, it is just a fact.
The strange people in "Strange People in the World" are not proficient in everything, but they live a meaningful life and are respected by others. The same is true in today's society. We cannot become all-rounders. But you have to be proficient in one! Aren’t there farmers from the Northeast who can speak Russian and work as translators, and laid-off workers come up with advanced inventions?
As long as we have a skill, we will be extraordinary people in the world. Thoughts after reading "Strange People in the World"
I have heard a saying, "Ordinary people lead extraordinary lives." Of course I am an ordinary person without a beautiful appearance, a smart mind, or extraordinary talents...
But such an ordinary me has not been able to live an extraordinary life.
There is a passage in Feng Jicai's article: "Craftsmen rely on their hands, and they must have special skills. Those who have special skills eat meat, stand in the middle of the street, and stand in the middle of the street; those who are incompetent eat vegetarian food. , get tired, stay aside. This is not someone’s decision, it is a way of life on the dock. "Oh, look at me, I didn’t realize it until I read his article. What is missing is the talent. Not to mention that this was a way of life at that time. Talent is also indispensable today. In this era, talented people are not afraid of not meeting Bole, but they are afraid that their talent cannot compare with him. other people. With the progress of society, natural selection means that the strong survive and the weak are eliminated. This is not cruel, it is just a fact, especially in special economic zones like Shenzhen, where talents are everywhere. If you are not better than others, you will will be eliminated. Therefore, at this stage of our studies, we must learn some skills seriously and learn some specialties in our spare time, so that you can survive in the future society. You can't just be a parasite all your life and rely on your parents to support you!
In fact, I heard someone say that there are no all-rounders these days. What society needs is just talents. In short, only if you have skills can you survive. Maybe this is too much, but what can be done? This is a hard truth!
This is not 600 words, but you can just add it.
The book "Strange People in the World" writes about the strange people and strange things that happened in Tianjin in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Each character is described in detail, showing us the chaos of Tianjin Wei, a treasure land at that time, and also showing the different abilities of people at that time. It also revealed many truths.
These are things we cannot see in our lives, and the author Feng Jicai vividly presents them before our eyes.
Take the opening article Su Qikuai as an example. I don't think Dr. Su is eager for money. Perhaps, he had long thought of breaking this rule and letting everyone know the real Su Qicai. Otherwise, he would not return Dafu Dayang to Hua. But what Tianjin Wei had to do was to break the chaotic situation at that time. If he broke this rule, others would not listen to his words in the future. There is no way to survive in this situation and environment. In this way, he also wants to make a living for himself.
There is also Dr. Hua’s article. The author vividly expresses Doctor Hua's spirit of forgetting his teeth and respecting his own profession. Although Dr. Hua has a bad memory, as a dentist, he must be responsible for every patient. Remember every tooth of the customer so as not to waste the customer's time.
But articles like Brush Li and Yang Ba are the kind of articles that fully highlight the author's literary talent. The author's writing style is interesting, readable, and full of authentic Tianjin flavor. Makes it a pleasure to read.
Each article in the book "Strange People in the World" is wonderful. It combines revealing principles and highlighting techniques into one, making it clear and clear for people to read. It can be regarded as a good book.
This is not the case, but I really can’t find it. Thoughts after reading "Strange People in the World"
As soon as the prelude to summer vacation started, I couldn't wait to turn over this wonderful book of music. Several articles in this book can be found in many textbooks in elementary and middle schools. Even my brother knows them. This book has been recommended by my teacher for a long time. The publisher is great, and the cover design is amazing. It gives people a sense of classical elegance without being dull, and even the texture is very comfortable to the touch. Not to mention opening the inside, even the preface is so attractive and pulls you into this wonderful city.
The publisher is really amazing. Even the page numbers are written in traditional Chinese characters instead of Arabic numerals, which makes it look better to us. Another point is that they spent a lot of effort on the illustrations. The illustrations inside are all from a pictorial magazine published in the late Qing Dynasty: "Xinghua". "Xinghua Pictorial" is a single-page pictorial, foldable, ten As soon as the sun rises, there are many expressions and trivial news, so it was very popular for a while. The painting style inside is completely different from the current pictorials. Although the illustrations in it are not the same thing, when you taste the illustrations after reading the article, you will find that they are still connected.
The book "Strange People in the World" talks about some ordinary people who have some unique skills or unique experiences. All the stories in the book take place in Weiben, Tianjin, which is a land and water dock. People there are born with a unique skill, because there is no way to survive without real skills. Some people are very capable, while others are not gods but rather strange or powerful; some people have a happy ending, while some people are unlucky. There is no connection between each story in this, and there are many types of characters: there are doctors, painters, drinkers, bird keepers, strong men, restaurants, people who look at paintings, people who talk, people who sell things, and people who dress up as women. Men's clothing...lots and lots of it.
The stories in this book are written in short chapters, so it seems effortless and can be read in one afternoon. The characters in the book often make me confused. I really wish I could have their abilities. Let me talk about some of the people I admire the most. The first chapter is about Su Qiyao. Su Qiyao is a doctor with superb medical skills. He seems to specialize in treating bones. If someone came to see him with a broken bone, he would just twist his hand a few times and it would be cured; if someone had a broken bone or tendon, he would touch it with his fingers and poke the flesh through the skin, and he would immediately understand what was going on inside. The patient will feel better after leaving. If he comes again, he will definitely bow and thank him. In fact, others praised him openly and scolded him secretly. Su Qikuai has a rule. Anyone who comes to see a doctor must hand over a seven-dollar silver dollar code. Otherwise, he won't even look at it. People scold him for recognizing money but not people, so he is called Su Qikuai. In fact, Su Qigai himself said later: "Don't think that I am a bad person, but I can't change my rules." I agree very much.
There is also Qingyun Louzhu. I will not repeat his life experience. He is a calligrapher, but he is not famous. In fact, it's not that I like him or his talents, but the ending that makes people laugh or cry. One day a foreigner took a fancy to his calligraphy works and bought them home. Master Qingyun begged him to take a photo of himself and the calligraphy when he went back. Unexpectedly, the foreigner actually complied with the request. The owner of Qingyun thought, haha, even the foreigners know me. If I show this photo to others, won’t I become famous? He happily took out the photo. As a result, the calligraphy in the photo was hung upside down!
This wonderful novel makes people want to read it again. Every unforgettable character in it is like a high note. Let us listen to this ordinary but special melody again.
Mr. Feng Jicai’s work "Strange People in the World"
After reading
"The people on the dock can't survive without forcing themselves. Once they become stronger, all kinds of unprecedented characters will be born. "In the book, Su Qidai, an osteopath, must collect seven silver dollars before seeing a doctor; Li, the painter, finished his work without a white spot sticking to his body; Clay figurine Zhang took a piece of mud from the sole of his shoe and pinched a living face with one hand; fraud The Huang Sanye in the painting made the connoisseurs lose their jobs by pretending to be real, and so on. They are all characters who sound miraculous but actually existed.
Mr. Feng Jicai's book wrote about nineteen strange people in Tianjin Wei. To be called a strange person means that he possesses a skill and his skill is so high that it reaches the point of ecstasy. I love to listen to stories and watch the fun. This book is thin, with no more than 150 pages in total, and each person has a story. It is simple and refreshing, just like picking a handful of green and red jujubes on the soil, and slowly killing the time there when you are free. ate. It is not like those big books, like square bricks. The tome seems to be difficult to read, so people who don’t have time, leisure, and patience are better off not reading it.
This book is well written and looks great. Although they are short, some have three pages, some have five or six pages, and some are no more than ten pages long, they are readable and are like eating jujubes, which are very tasty. These short essays are all written about craftsmen. Some say they have good hands, some say they have a good eye, and some say they are good writers. Mr. Feng’s writing is like a god, and his wording is precise. With just a few strokes, he gives the characters the spirit of the people they write. Stretched out. After reading it, I was endlessly entertained, and the artist in the article was still flashing in my mind. It makes people feel that they are alive right before their eyes. It is no exaggeration to say that it is lifelike and lifelike.
The essays are all told in a story-telling way, so they are pleasant to listen to. The stories are not long or complicated, and can make people think after listening to them. Just thinking about it carefully, there are nineteen people, nineteen trades, and nineteen skills in this book. The writer has just the right grasp of these skills. He is knowledgeable and knowledgeable about these skills, which makes people admire him endlessly. How could he have written such a work if he had not taken root among the people in the countryside.
I just bought the book on Sunday afternoon for about 16 yuan. I accidentally read it through on Monday night. After reading it, I was not fully satisfied. I wanted to see if the author had written other books like this. When I finished reading the postscript, I felt sad for a long time. Mr. Feng said that this kind of article should be stopped here and will not be written again in the future. But when it comes to writing, I don’t think I have the ability or level.
I think this sentence really reminds me that there should be a strange and outstanding person in the book, and that is the writer Mr. Feng.
There is nothing I can do. He stopped writing. I still want to read it, so I can only turn to his master, Feng Menglong.
