Dickens, who lived in the19th century, experienced social unrest at the beginning of the reform, and the contradiction between the British aristocrats and the poor at the bottom intensified, and his assets were actively wandering in the market under a false veil. It was not a good era, in other words, it was not an era suitable for the development of literature and art. However, Dickens, who lived in that era, did not give up in despair or write his life with a pen. On the contrary, he prescribed a good prescription for Britain at that time: forgiveness and love. He wrote A Tale of Two Cities and Oliver Twist. He didn't write the history of the revolution, but he captured the atmosphere of that era. He told people with a story that revenge is over and bloodshed can only cause more bloodshed. Only forgiveness can save the world. Kindness, like Dickens, seems to be the least suitable for that dark age, but it can face it bravely, influence that society with its own strength, and make the most suitable at the most unsuitable time.
In modern, 2 1 century Iraq, I seem to see this power again. Kamal, an eight-year-old boy living in Baghdad? Hashim. He walked on a land full of sorrow and suffering. There is a poem describing the Middle East in this era. "The hearse on the hillside comes and goes day and night." There is no fun for teenagers, no hot meals, only smoke and war. Many people pray in slums and refugee camps that they will not be born here in the afterlife, but Kamal is not. He took a camera to record every bit of Iraq, every warm picture: an old man sat at the door of the bookstore reading, the sun rose slowly from behind the palm trees, and there were free drinks outside the cafe. This is a bad time, and no child wants to live. But Kamal recorded this love and warmth with the power of his Weibo, encouraging every Iraqi to live bravely and hard, which is the most suitable redemption in the most unsuitable period.
We can't choose our own life or death, but how many people are trapped in their untimely lives and end up depressed. For example, Li Yu, a poet who died of national subjugation and Jia Yi, who was most worried and angry all his life, died of illness. If they can face up to their age and change things with their own strength, will history be different?
Whether we were born in prosperous times or depressed times, we should all do our part. Not a cruel force, not a ruthless force, it may be weak, accompanied by suffering, but it can bring light in the abyss and defend our love in tenacity? This is the whole interpretation of being born at the right time.
