This is a new book launch conference, the launch conference of Mai Jia's new book "The Sea of Life". Both Dong Qing and Gao spoke highly of the book. It is said that Dong Qing couldn't stop crying while reading this book. After reading this book, he cried so hard that he had no strength to stand up. For this book, Gao read it twice in succession, and he burst into tears when he read it. After reading this book, he wrote this comment with tears in his eyes:
This book is a masterpiece of climbing the next literary peak in my heart, and I really can't help crying after reading it.
Nobel Prize in Literature laureate Mo Yan is a famous literary master in China. He also spoke highly of this book. Mo Yan said that reading this book will make people "fascinated".
What book is this? Dong Qing, Gao and Mo Yan all gave such praise. What was written in it? Can actually make them cry. This is a book about fatherly love, in which only two words "fatherly love" are written.
When Mai Jia was young, but he happened to be in high school, maybe he was in a rebellious period, and he had an argument with his father. At that time, my father was so angry that he slapped Mai Jia indiscriminately. Young Mai Jia was so humiliated that he ran away from home in a fit of pique and never came home for more than 20 years. Until the Wenchuan earthquake, people in the disaster area were displaced and many people lost their families. At that time, he realized that he also wanted to go home, to see his relatives at home, to see his father, to forgive him, to reconcile with himself, and there was no resentment in his heart.
After Mai Jia figured it out, he hurried home, but when he got home, his father looked at him, but his eyes were vacant, and he obviously didn't know him. But my father still asked him blankly, "can you ask my second brother to come back and see me?" Such a father made the Mai family sad, plopped down on their knees and cried and said, "Dad, I am the second child!" " "But it's all over. My father doesn't know him anymore, because his father is old and has Alzheimer's disease. Even if he stood before his eyes alive, he wouldn't recognize him.
My father's health became worse and worse, and he died soon, which made Mai family very sad and sad. He also felt guilty about what he had done, and felt that he should not be angry with his father, otherwise he would not lose his time with his father. Mai Jia really tasted the pain of wanting to raise a child but not being around.
Three years after his father's death, Mai's heart is still full of sadness and guilt, so that he can't even speak, almost speechless. In the following five years, he expressed his guilt and love for his father in words and wrote a painful sea of life. In the book Sea of Life, the father is willing to be a shameless informer for his son and is spurned by others.
The father in the book was punished for kneeling in the ancestral temple for three days and three nights for his son. Isn't this great fatherly love a true portrayal of our father? Being forbearing, I am used to carrying everything down for my children, just like the sentence written in the book, "In the sea of life, it is not courage to dare to die, but courage to live!"
Perhaps for the phrase "the sea of life", many friends don't understand his meaning. Actually, this is Minnan dialect. The main meaning is that life is like the sea, ensuring frustration and suffering. People will inevitably encounter some ups and downs in their lives. Each of us grew up under the nourishment of family of origin's love, but we were dragged down by family of origin, unable to reconcile with ourselves. This kind of pain is unforgettable for many people. But you can find the antidote in the sea of life. As Dong Qing said, reconciliation with a family may be just a book away.
This is a touching book, and the story in it is very touching. If you are going to read this book, I suggest you go to a place where there is no one, otherwise you may wonder why you cry after reading it. Don't wait until you have experienced the pain of raising a child.
