Heinz Christian Andersen (Heinz Christian Andersen, 1805-1875) Denmark writer. Born on April 2, 1805 in the slums of Odense, Funen Island, Denmark. His father was a poor shoemaker who volunteered to fight against Napoleon Bonaparte's invasion. He died of illness in 1816 after being discharged from the army. His mother, who was a laundry worker, remarried soon after. Andersen was tortured by poverty since he was a child. He worked as an apprentice in several shops without receiving formal education. He became interested in the stage as a boy and dreamed of becoming a singer, actor or playwright. In 1819, he became a minor supporting actor at the Royal Theater in Copenhagen. He was later fired because his throat was wet. From then on, he began to learn writing, but the script he wrote was completely unsuitable for performance and was not adopted by the theater. In 1822, he received funding from theater director Jonas Colin and studied at a grammar school in Slierse. This year he wrote the book "Youth's Attempts", published under the pseudonym Wilhelm Christian Walter. This pseudonym included the names of William Shakespeare, Andersen himself, and Scott. In 1827, he published his first poem "The Dying Child". In 1829, he entered the University of Copenhagen to study. His first important work, "A Walk from the Holmen Canal to the East Point of Amager Island in 1828 and 1829", was published in 1829. This is a travelogue with a sense of humor, and is quite similar to the writing style of the German writer Hoffmann. The publication of this travelogue gave Andersen initial recognition from society. Thereafter he continued to write plays. In 1831, he traveled to Germany and wrote travel notes on his way back. In 1833, he went to Italy and wrote a poetic drama "Egnet and the Mermaid" and a novel "The Improvisational Poet" (1835) with Italy as the background. Shortly after its publication, the novel was translated into German and English, marking the beginning of the author's international reputation.
King Gou Jian of Yue suffered hardships
In 496 BC, King Helu of Wu sent troops to attack the country of Yue, but was defeated by the country of Yue. Helu was also seriously injured and died. Helu asked Wu Zixu to choose his successor. Among the people, Wu Zixu only loved Fu Chai, so he chose him as the king. Afterwards, Gou Jian heard that Wu State was planning to build a navy, and despite the opposition of Fan Li and others, he sent troops to destroy the navy. As a result, he was surrounded by Fu Chai's strange troops and was defeated. The general also died on the battlefield. Fu Cha wanted to capture Gou Jian, but Fan Li came up with a plan. , pretending to surrender, leaving the green hills without worrying about having no firewood. Fu Chai did not listen to the advice of his old minister Wu Zixu and stayed with Gou Jian and others. After three years of humiliation, they were finally returned to the Yue Kingdom. Gou Jian secretly trained elite soldiers and slept without mattresses every night, only laying some firewood (called in ancient times). salary), and hung a gall in the house. He would taste the taste of gall from time to time in order not to forget the shame of the past. In order to encourage the people, Gou Jian participated in labor with the queen and the people, and with the concerted efforts of the Yue people, the Yue country became stronger. Once, Fu Chai led most of the country's troops to a meeting and asked Gou Jian to also lead troops to cheer. Seeing that the time had come, Gou Jian pretended to go to the meeting, led 3,000 elite soldiers, captured the main city of Wu, killed the prince of Wu, and captured Fu Cha.

Write based on the materials. 2. Please write an 800-word argumentative essay with the title "You should know that things are difficult in the world at an early age"
Here are two sample essays for your reference. They should be helpful to you. In the 13th year of Chunxi, Emperor Xiaozong of Song Dynasty ( 1186) Written by Chunlu when he was traveling in his hometown of Shanyin.
Lu You was sixty-two years old at the time, which was obviously my age. However, the poet was deposed and could only stay idle in his hometown, thinking about the broken mountains and rivers, the Central Plains not being conquered, and "there is no battlefield to serve the country without dying" " Feeling that things are so difficult in the world, villains have harmed the country and "scholars have no place to serve alone", so the poet burst out with anger. "Book anger" means expressing the deep anger in one's heart.
"A strong man is old before his country's hatred is broken, and the sword in the box makes a sound at night." When a hero has no place to use, he will return to the memory of the iron horse.
I think back then, when the poet looked north to the Central Plains, his ambition to regain the lost land was like a mountain surge, what a courage! Did the poet ever think that the road to killing the enemy and serving the country would be so difficult? I thought that I was selfless and devoted myself to serving the country, so the country would help me. Who would have expected that there would be traitors who would obstruct and sabotage me and lead to my repeated dismissal? The poet begins by asking himself, how much anger is there? The two sentences "Lou Chuan" describe the Song soldiers' fight against the Jin soldiers' invasion in the southeast and northwest, and also summarize the poet's past travels. In November of the 31st year of Shaoxing reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty (1161), the gold lord Wanyan Liang invaded the south. The Song army refused to defend in the Guazhou area, and then the Jin army retreated.
The previous sentence refers to this. In the eighth year of the reign of Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty (1172), Lu You was attending Wang Yan's military affairs in Nanzheng. The poet and Wang Yan actively planned to march into Chang'an. They once forcibly crossed the Weishui River and had an encounter with the Jin soldiers at Dashan Pass.
The next sentence refers to this. The glorious past summarized in these two sentences is in sharp contrast to the present situation of "people who are willing to kill thieves are unable to recover".
"In good times, I am afraid that I will regret it in another year, and at the critical moment, another autumn will come." Thinking that there is no chance of restoring the Central Plains today, how can the poet's heart be nothing more than weeping blood? From a poetic perspective, these two poems also fully demonstrate Lu You's great poetic talent.
The images of "louchuan" (majestic warship) and "night snow", "iron horse" and "autumn wind" are combined, and there are two open and magnificent battlefield pictures. The selection of imagery is very clean and typical.
The sentence "Cover the Great Wall" is a metaphor used by the poet to express his ambition. Tan Daoji, a famous general of Liu Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, once called himself the "Great Wall".
The emperor wanted to kill him, so he said: "I will destroy your Great Wall." Lu You promised himself this, which shows how majestic he was when he was young. He defended the country and showed his prestige in the border areas. Who else could he do? However, what about today? The poet's anguish of unrealized ambitions all hangs over the word "empty".
The ambition is in vain, the struggle is in vain, everything is in vain, but when you look at yourself in the mirror, you will see the first spots on your temples, and your bright head! How sad it is to compare the two? Thinking about it again, this ending was not caused by my lack of ambition or my lack of efforts, but because of the villain who mistook me and the world that made me wear thin! I have the will, but God won’t let me. Sadness becomes anger.
Look at the last couplet again. Codes are also used to clarify aspirations.
Zhuge insisted on the Northern Expedition. Although he "died before he left the army", he was eventually famous all over the world and "made heroes burst into tears". After thousands of years, who can compare with it? It is obvious that the poet used the allusion to denounce the mediocre people who worked in the government and the public, indicating that his ambition to restore the Central Plains would also be "famous".
The poet cannot find comfort in reality, so he has no choice but to put his soul thirsting for comfort into the future. This is naturally a helpless move. The poet had no choice but to vent his anger and frustration.
Looking back at the entire poem, I can see that every sentence is filled with anger and every word is filled with anger. Poetry is made out of anger, and poetry is full of anger.
"Shu Anger" is one of Lu You's seven-rhythm famous poems. The whole poem is full of melancholy emotions and rich charm, which is obviously inspired by Du Fu. The two unions in China are committed to work steadily, especially the couplets "building boat" and "iron horse", which are majestic and heroic and are widely recited by people.
Such poems come from his personal experience and are full of his feelings about political life, which are incomparable to those works that show off their talents. At an early age, I didn't know that things in the world were hateful. Looking north to the Central Plains, the energy is like a mountain.
The building boat crosses Guazhou on a snowy night, and the iron horse disperses in the strong autumn wind. The Great Wall is empty and I promise that my hair is already faded in the mirror.
In 1186, at the age of 61, the poet wrote "Book of Anger", expressing his anger deeply and generously. 1. It comes from the background of the times when current affairs are difficult and the country's fortunes are declining.
In April of the second year of Jingkang (1127), the third year after Lu You was born, the Jin soldiers captured the emperors Hui and Qin, their concubines, and clan members northward, and the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed. In May, Zhao Gou, who was in Hebei at the time, survived and ascended the throne in Yingtianfu, Nanjing (today's Shangqiu, Henan), and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Jianyan. This rebuilt small court was the Southern Song Dynasty, and Zhao Gou was Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty.
But sadly, although Zhao Gou was the emperor, he was the leader of the surrender faction in the early Southern Song Dynasty. He was afraid of war with the Jin Dynasty. Wang Boyan, Huang Qianshan and others who he trusted also advocated escape and People who surrender on their knees. In March of the eighth year of Shaoxing (1138), Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty appointed Qin Hui as his right minister. In October, he handed over the matter of surrender to Jin, and other ministers were not allowed to participate.
Qin Hui is a notorious traitor in Chinese history. Song Gaozong colluded with him. In the first month of the ninth year of Shaoxing, he desperately made peace with the Jin Dynasty and paid tribute to the Jin Dynasty. All Song Gaozong wanted was to stop the Jin army's further southward invasion. If he could save half of the country, he would be satisfied as a vassal state of the Jin Dynasty. 3. When I was young, I didn’t know that the world was difficult. Looking north from the Central Plains, the energy was like a mountain.
The building boat crosses Guazhou in the snowy night, and the iron horse disperses in the strong autumn wind.
I walled the Great Wall and promised myself that my hair would be empty, but my hair was already faded in the mirror.
If you are a master and show your true name in the world, no one can compare with you for thousands of years.
This poem was written when Chunlu visited his hometown of Shanyin in the 13th year of Chunxi reign of Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty (1186). Lu You was sixty-two years old at the time, which was obviously my age. However, the poet was deposed and could only stay idle in his hometown. He thought about the broken mountains and rivers, the Central Plains had not yet been conquered, and "there is no battlefield to serve the country if you want to die". I felt how difficult the world was. , the villain harmed the country and "the scholar had no place to serve alone", so the poet burst out with anger.
"Book anger" means expressing the deep anger in one's heart.
