Reading Ba Jin's My Home

I read a lot of good books during the holiday! One of them is the masterpiece Home by the great writer Mr. Ba Jin. Home has reached a high position in my mind, because it profoundly exposes a so-called "cannibal old society" and shows its ugliness. For example, the tragic fate of women in the book, the pairs of men and women oppressed by the big family forces in the old society, and the internal situation in which Gao's family seems to be harmonious but actually intrigues. ...

Its content is profound enough to make people think deeply. What forces caused this dark society? The answer is: feudal etiquette! We have to admit that Confucianism has its essence, but excessive ethics has become dross. There is a vivid description in "Home": "The book is full of words such as' the monarch orders the minister to die, the minister is unfaithful, the father orders the son to die, and the son is not dead and unfilial', which is an example!

Some sentences in The Analects of Confucius have been excessively distorted and turned into man-eating beasts, devouring countless fresh lives and souls! At the same time, economists also tell us that happiness can only be achieved by resisting unfair fate. It is precisely because they do not yield to fate that Chueh-min and Chin can get married and Chueh-hui can get rid of the control of pedantic and degenerate family elders. Bottom line: the new society is really good, and the old society is really terrible!
