I especially like the title "Dust", which makes me feel so kind, as if I touched my soul at once. Maybe it's because I am a speck of dust scattered all over the world!
When I opened the book, I quickly read the preface and got a general understanding of the book. Although I am a stranger to mining, as the author said, what he described is a group of people living at the tip of a knife, seemingly small, but actually a great life.
I am an out-and-out farmer's child, and I am so kind and distressed by such a group of people struggling desperately at the bottom of society. My parents and relatives, aren't they all people who make a living on another knife tip?

Second, the content brief introduction
Dust is a collection of non-fiction stories, with a total of 2 1 stories. As Orfila said, the author wrote the affection, love and friendship of ordinary workers with concise brushwork, which moved him, moved him and moved him.
I spent more than two days reading this book with a heavy heart, and several articles made me burst into tears.
When I read my friend Zhou Daming's book, the phrase "Use money to buy health in the first 30 years, and use money to buy health in the second 30 years" always comes to my mind. In fact, the situation in Zhou Daming is even worse.
In his prime, Zhou Daming was basically a boss and made a lot of money. However, he didn't know that all his money was bought with his life. If I had known that this business would kill him, would he have devoted himself to it without hesitation?
In 2008, very young Zhou Daming was too weak to walk, her breathing was blocked and her face was purple. His family's savings for more than ten years have been spent, and two children at home have dropped out of school, and the burden of life has all fallen on his wife, a thin woman.
On the day Zhou Daming left, the author picked him up from the bed like a baby. Zhou Daming exudes a faint, pungent and refreshing fragrance of bitter almond. Even after the coffin was covered, it still lingered, as if it had leaked through a thick board.
The deceased is gone, but the burden of life is heavily on his thin wife. But that woman, also in the distance, smells like bitter almond like Zhou Daming. Who knows what kind of suffering life will give her
This reminds me of a brother in my hometown. That winter, he was working in the city to repair the house, and as a result, a beam broke and he was crushed to a pulp on the spot. My parents are old, my eldest son is in the fourth grade, my youngest son is three years old, and my wife is pregnant with triplets who are about to be born.
In fact, they are not the only examples in rural areas. Born in a poor and backward rural area, he had to go to war to make a living. Some people say they are brave, they are heroes. ...
But who knows that they are also afraid, and who doesn't cherish their own lives? Who doesn't want to live a healthy and happy life? They have no choice!
Articles in the book, such as Paint Knife, Wild Boar Fierce, Cousin Yu Hai, etc. , make my eyes blurred. Many young people in the author's works died of various premature lives.
Every time I read that someone was crushed to pieces by a big stone, my heart would ache for a long time. I have to skip that paragraph right away, I'm afraid, I can't bear it!
I remember when I was a teenager, a national road was built in my hometown (from the original gravel road to the cement road), and the road was built by outsiders. One night, there was a sudden noise. As a result, a man was stoned by his companion and accidentally hammered to death. That night, they buried the man on the hillside. It is said that many people died while building roads.
People who often hear about work suddenly disappear. Are all accidents like that?
Third, sentiment
This is a book of life, describing a group of people who are humble to the dust and walk on the knife edge every day for their lives.
Chen Chenxi said: Life is a stream of water, with joy and sorrow, truth and falsehood, bitterness and pride, ups and downs and surges, as well as the pursuit and shaping of things, as evidenced by riverbeds and scenery.
In this world, some people are doomed to have bad karma from birth. They are humble, but they live a hard life. Although they have spent their whole lives looking forward to it, they still can't touch the fingertips of happiness.
Chen Chenxi said: picturesque mountains and rivers, hard life, crowded people everywhere. Everyone is being escorted by life, walking in a hurry, where to go in the end?
With the development of society, it is expected that people no longer need to exchange flesh and blood for food and clothing!
