He ran to avoid being teased by others. When he was in middle school, he ran into a school football field to avoid others, so he ran into the university.

Elvis Presley and John Lennon, two music superstars, also created many popular songs through their association with him. Finally, Gan became an entrepreneur by catching shrimps. To commemorate Bubba's death, he founded Bubba Gump Company, gave half of the shares of the company to Bubba's mother, and became a gardener himself. Gan has experienced various historical periods in which the world is changing, but no matter when, where and with whom, he is still as simple and kind as ever.
In seclusion, he often misses Jenny. At this time, Jenny has already gone astray and fallen into despair. Finally one day, Jenny came back. She lived with Gump for a while.

7. Ordinary world
Author: Lu Yao
Reading recommendation recommendation index: ★★★★★★★
Ordinary World is a million-word inspirational masterpiece created by Lu Yao, a famous writer in China. This is a novel that shows the contemporary urban and rural social life in China in a panoramic way. This book * * * three; Under the background of China from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s, the author, centering on two brothers, Sun Shaoan and Sun Shaoping, created the images of many ordinary people from all walks of life at that time through complicated contradictions and entanglements. Labor and love, frustration and pursuit, pain and joy, daily life and huge social conflicts are intertwined, which profoundly shows the difficult and tortuous road that ordinary people have gone through in the historical process of the great era; Reading is too exciting, I can't bear to put the book; Known as "the jewel in the crown of Mao Dun Literature Award, an immortal classic that inspires millions of young people".
Hidden in thought, my heart is floating and heavy, and I sigh the vicissitudes of the world, just as Lu Yao wrote in the postscript, "I am willing to communicate with countless hearts in the world."
In recent years, there have been many novels about farmers' life and rural areas, and some excellent works have indeed appeared, such as White Deer Plain by Chen and Tired and Perseverance by Chen. The background of these works is really magnificent, spanning decades. However, I think, from the grasp of the pulse of the times and the small point of major historical events, "Ordinary World" appears more atmospheric.
Ordinary World is a realistic inspirational novel and a fictional family history. The writer highly concentrated the historical changes in the northwest countryside, and his works achieved a high degree of unity of ideology and artistry, especially the hero's spirit of hard struggle in the face of difficulties, which still inspires today's college students and friends.
abstract
The Ordinary World spans from 1975 to 1985, which reflects the great historical changes of China's urban and rural social life in the past 10 years. With Sun Shaoan and Sun Shaoping as the center and the changes of the whole society and ideas as the background, this paper depicts the images of ordinary people at all levels through complex contradictions and entanglements, and successfully shapes Sun Shaoan and Sun Shaoping who suffer silently from life hardships. Here, human self-esteem, self-improvement, self-confidence, life's suffering and struggle, frustration and pursuit, pain and joy are intertwined, which makes people sad and reluctant to release the book.
The most touching thing in the book is that the Sun Shi brothers are unwilling to be fate dolls, and explore their own imprisoned value and self-improvement destiny theme in the heavy life.

Life is like a "maze", in which everyone looks for their own "cheese", stable work, physical and mental health, harmonious interpersonal relationships, sweet and happy love, or imaginary wealth.
Do you like your cheese?

Since the publication of this book, many readers have been inspired by the story of cheese, which has improved their career, marriage and life, and also caused extensive discussion.
brief Introduction of the content
The first part: Class Reunion-tells the story of a group of former classmates discussing how to deal with various changes in their lives at a party.
Part II: The core of this book-the story of "Who Moved My Cheese".
In the story, you will find that two mice do better than two dwarfs in the face of change, because they always simplify things; But when two dwarfs have complicated brains and human emotions, they always complicate things. This is not to say that mice are smarter than people. We all know that people are smarter. But from another angle, don't people's overly complicated wisdom and emotions sometimes hinder their progress?
When you observe the behavior of the four characters in the story, you will find that the mouse and the dwarf actually represent different aspects of ourselves-the simple side and the complex side. When things change, perhaps simple actions will bring us a lot of convenience and benefits.
The third part: "discussion"-is the discussion of the students around this story. They discussed the significance of this story and how to apply the inspiration from this story to people's lives and work.
Some readers who have read the manuscript before writing a book will stop reading the discussion about the story after reading the story itself. Others prefer to watch the "discussion" at the back of the story, because they think they can get inspiration from it and think about how to apply what they have learned from the story to real life.
Anyway, I sincerely hope that you, like me, can learn something new and useful from this story every time you read it; I hope it can help you cope with all kinds of changes properly, and whatever your success goal is, it can help you to succeed.
I hope you can rejoice in the truth you found in the story and enjoy it. Wish you all the best. Please remember one sentence: it changes with the change of cheese.
It is safer to know all feasible options than to isolate yourself in a comfortable environment. Try to take risks and change with cheese.
