Letters have magic. In a sense, they have changed the lives of all recipients. This book begins with Rosa writing a letter to her childhood friends to help Sarah stay, revolves around the lives of many recipients (senders), and finally returns to the original intention of Solitaire: Sarah successfully keeps her job and all the mysteries are solved one by one.
The three places that touched me most in this book: "friendship-affection-love", and three seemingly ordinary feelings, but the author showed them incisively and vividly, and they were not conventional, even if they were made into movies, they would be warm and moving.
Rosa wants to help her good friend Salarius in the village, so she has a letter to answer Long. The book describes the unforgettable friendship between Rosa and Sarah in many places and how to help each other. Brotherhood between Alex and Fernando: Alex spared no effort to help Fernando and Sarah finally get married; There are Alma and poet Mara Pozky, Sarah and cleaner Carol, Carol and her other work owner manuela, Hipatia's husband Thomas and Alex's father Mauricio. ...
Friendship doubles happiness and halves pain. These people live in a village and help each other like a family. This kind of pure neighborhood friendship is rare in cement forest houses now. As the book says, Xinlong is not only asking everyone to help the postman, but also building a monument of friendship with words. This also tells us to cherish the people around us, including your family and friends.
When I saw Sarah's three children give their mothers the certificate of "the best mother in the world", when I saw Mauricio's last letter to his son Alex, when I saw Alma's mother turn on her mobile phone 24 hours a day, I was deeply moved and reminded me of my parents. In a person's life, with the growth of age, there will be multiple roles, but the role of children will accompany you all your life.
Many of us leave our hometown to study, work and live in big cities and can't be with our parents. Sometimes, we will say: What kind of person I am (such as how much money I earn), I will take my parents to do something (such as traveling), but in fact, the best day to achieve happiness is today. What we leave to the future may never come true. So, seize the opportunity to realize your family dream.
The book describes the love of several couples, all of which are sincere and touching. Alma and Alex, two young people, predicted what would happen in the future at a glance. They started a book club together, helped Fernando hold a birthday party together, and walked through the difficult days when Alex lost his father together.
Hipatia and Thomas have been married for 50 years, but their love is still evident in daily trifles. Thomas will go shopping with Hipatia and will always be his wife's most solid guardian.
Sarah and Fernando, one is a single mother with three children, and the other is an old friend who works on a drilling platform on the other side of the Atlantic. They chatted online and gradually developed their love. Fernando spared no effort to prepare Sarah's birthday party.
Many places in the book have left famous people's writings on love, including love letters, and left praise for love in the form of words, which has to make people lament the power of language again. Love is the best shield against all dangers. Love, do what you like. If you are silent, please be silent out of love; If you shout, please shout out of love; If correct, please correct it out of love; If you forgive, please forgive out of love.
It's been a long time since I finished reading a book in seven days. This time, I finally finished reading a book in a week by taking the opportunity of the company's study month. I will stick to it and make it a habit. I hope you can enjoy reading here.
Finally, attach the feeling of reading every day.
After reading The Unfinished Debt, there are two points: the trigger point and the choice.
1, a person sometimes realizes that something he is doing is wrong, but he doesn't take action to change it until the trigger point appears. Rosa in the book is like this. When she learned that the post office would be closed and Sarah would be transferred, she felt very sad and sad, so the floodgate of memory was opened ... and a letter she wrote to her childhood playmate Louisa. If the post office was not about to close, there wouldn't be this letter, so the trigger point is very important.
In order to help Sarah stay, she chose to write down her thoughts for many years by writing letters. Although she was not sure whether the letter would be read, she chose to write it, which was a relief for herself and an explanation for Louisa. In the letter, we can see that she deeply misses and repents Louisa, but she still insists on her choice at that time (falling in love with Abel and marrying him).
Life is like a trip, you will encounter many surprises and many difficulties. But everything depends on human efforts. Try to find the "trigger point" of life, implement what should be done, and make life less regrettable.
Life is full of choices. Try to make every choice win. Doing things that are more beneficial to him is ultimately self-serving. ?
What do you think after reading Oasis?
1, stick to what you love, maybe a miracle will happen. Alma likes reading and writing poems, hoping to be recognized in writing poems. However, fate played a trick on her, so that after graduating from college, the voice of recognition was gone. But she persisted until she saw the letter sent to grandma. She finished writing the letter Solitaire and wrote it to her favorite poet Mara. When she finished writing, her heart was relieved.
2. People who love often feel attached to life. Sarah regained her friendship with Fernand because she helped others; Because Mara saved a sparrow, got Sarah's help, saw the letters left behind, and finally completed the solitaire to keep the letters passing. Who sent the next one?
After reading P 102 "The Metamorphosis of the Universe", what do you think:
1, everyone has an interesting soul hidden in his body. With the advancement of the content, I found that everyone has many stories that Ta has not told others. Because of solitaire, everyone who received the letter began to review their own mental journey, such as Alex's "The Story of Falling in Love with Travel and Travelers" and Hipatia's "Cooking Picturesque, Talking to Food during Cooking" ... very interesting.
2, the story is very vivid, and when you read it, you will have a sense of picture in your mind, which makes people happy. I like the sentences in the article very much. "For me, the greatest pleasure in writing is not the theme, but the music played by words." I feel the power of words again and look forward to more surprises in the future.
What do you think of P 109 Printed with Personalized Names?
1, which are interrelated. The former screenwriter and related people finally met. Alma, Alex, Hipatia's husband and Sarah meet in the rain, which makes the story more compact. In the dark, everyone is interrelated, but many times we may not realize it as the parties, so doing more good deeds and doing what we can is possible.
2. Love is budding. The interaction between Alma and Alex, and the interaction between Sarah and her old friend Fernando make us feel that there will be a love line. Haha, the story is getting better and better.
After reading P 147 The Other Side of the Ocean, I feel:
1, life is short, cherish the people around you. Alma in the article has a happy family since she was a child, but Alex is different. He lost his mother when he was young, and his father was seriously ill later ... At the age when he should have grown up happily and flown freely, he chose to be with his father. Everyone has troubles. Alma is bitter that her parents don't support her as a poet, so there are some cracks in her relationship with her parents. How to deal with the relationship with parents, love is the premise. Don't wait until you lose it to regret it; But when you have it, you know how to cherish it.
2. If you can't change the environment, change yourself. I like a sentence in the article very much. When Alma encouraged Alex to start a book club, she quoted Gandhi's "You must be a part of the change you want". Some people will complain about the environment, people and things around them when something goes wrong. In fact, the person who really controls your destiny is yourself. Just like Alex who likes to travel but doesn't choose to go out, he finds pleasure in traveling in books, and only you are his hero.
Read P244 "a despicable blow", feeling:
1, the power of letters. Writing a letter is to share your happiness, your feelings and the power flowing in your veins with someone. This is a heart-to-heart communication, especially in the case of not knowing who the sender is, the recipient will have more expectations for the future life with curiosity. This way is too strange. Fernando also wrote 39 love letters to Sarah in this way ... Sarah's emotional changes when reading these letters jumped from the paper, as if she were in front of her eyes. Sigh the power of letters again!
2. Life is a journey. I like several sentences in the book, "A journey full of hope is better than reaching the destination", "Love creates surprises, humor is the lightning rod of life" and "Love is a beautiful flower, but you must pluck it at the edge of the cliff with courage". Life is a one-way street, so try to enjoy the scenery along the way.
