Article 1:

After reading Lao She's tragic masterpiece Camel Xiangzi, the first feeling is that the ideal does not match the reality. Xiangzi's dream rickshaw was finally broken and scattered in numerous bumps. Indeed, the inconsistency between ideal and reality has created countless regrets. How many students can't enter the ideal university because of family reasons; How many talents in various fields can't enter their respective professional fields for internal and external reasons? Dreams can't be realized by fantasy alone, even if they are pursued tirelessly like Xiangzi, they will eventually be shattered. It can be said that this is a tragedy. At the same time, Xiangzi's final degeneration is also inseparable from the degeneration of society. Some people are born in poverty, so they work hard for their future, but there is no result. What caused all this was a cruel society. In the real society, money seems to represent everything, and what knowledge is greater than money is simply a "false proposition". Therefore, if you want to gain a foothold in the real society, sufficient knowledge and a good life background are essential. In contrast, the latter factor accounts for a larger proportion, which has caused so many regrets and even tragedies. Opportunities in the real society also determine the realization of ideals. Faraday was born into a poor family when he was a child. By chance, Harvey, the president of the Royal College, met this clever and studious child, and finally made Faraday a famous electromagnetist. Kūnosuke Matsushita, a famous Japanese businessman, just started a business and went bankrupt once, but it was also an accidental opportunity, which made him know world-famous companies and set him on the road to prosperity. But such people are only a few after all. Only when ideal and reality coexist can we achieve a breakthrough and create history.

At the same time, I was deeply impressed by the problems about personality changes reflected by the author through Xiangzi. Xiangzi gradually degenerated into social garbage under the pressure of life. Xiangzi wouldn't be like this if the environment wasn't so bad. But the fact is, even in today's society, this kind of thing is happening constantly. Every day, many people are forced by life, lose their original character and become like Xiangzi. Many times I think that if Xiangzi lives in the present society, the situation must be different, right? But the facts tell me that's impossible. Because even in today's society, there are still many problems worth thinking about. Many things are like fish and bear's paw, and you can't have both. And this kind of problem seems to be increasing. Most people, like Xiangzi, abandoned their personality for life. When people wake up, they will find it is too late to regret, so they have to go on. Therefore, it is not accidental but inevitable that Xiangzi will become him later.

In fact, Xiangzi struggled in life at first, but failed. And his failure is that he didn't persist. If he had persisted, it wouldn't have happened. However, there is no if. Life begins with no ifs, so we have no retreat, so we can't retreat, so we can only move forward, so we should never regret it.
