Reflections on Reading Old Things in the South of the City

Model essay 1 About reading the past in the south of the city I recently revisited a good book. After reading it, I was deeply touched and a little sad. The name of this book is Old Things in the South of the City.

This book mainly tells the author Lin's childhood experience in his hometown. The five stories in the article all ended in tragedy, which made me feel a little sad. In the late 1920s, a six-year-old girl named Lin lived in a small alley in the south of Beijing. Xiuzhen, a "crazy" woman who often stands in the alley looking for her daughter, is Eiko's first friend. Xiuzhen once had a crush on a college student. Later, college students were taken away by the police, and Xiuzhen's daughter, Xiao Guizi, was left at the foot of the city by her family. Life and death are unknown. Eiko is very sympathetic to her. Eiko learned that the little girl's life is very similar to that of the little devil, found the mark on the back of her neck, and quickly took her to Xiuzhen. After Xiuzhen met her daughter who had been separated for six years, she immediately took her to her father. As a result, the mother and daughter died tragically under the train wheel, which made me cry. Houjia moved to Xinlian Hutong. Eiko met a young man with thick lips in a nearby desert garden. In order to pay for his brother's education, he had to steal. Eiko thinks she is kind, but she can't tell whether she is a good person or a bad person. Not long after, Eiko found a small bronze Buddha on the barren grass, which was discovered by police spies. He took the young man away with the police, which made Eiko very sad. When Eiko was nine years old, Feng Daming, the husband of her wet nurse Ma Song, came to the Lins. Eiko was very sad to learn that Ma Song's son fell into the river and drowned two years ago, and her daughter was sold to someone else by her husband. She couldn't understand why Ma Song left her children to wait on others. Later, Eiko's father died of lung disease. Ma Song was also picked up by her husband with a little donkey. Eiko took his family on a long-distance carriage and said goodbye to his childhood with all kinds of doubts.

I benefited a lot from reading the book Old Things in the South of the City. I not only know the value of growing up, but also know how to cherish my present life and appreciate a good article, which makes me grow a lot.

After reading the book Old Things in the South of the City, I thought about my story again. It seems very similar. We all do the same things and play with the same toys, which is the instinct and nature of our children.

What moved me most about this book was the last chapter.

Eiko won the oath at the graduation ceremony with excellent grades, so Eiko wanted to invite her father to see it, but her father was hospitalized because of illness, so she couldn't come to see Eiko's performance and oath, and there were some interesting performances. Eiko was afraid that her father would run away from home because of a sick child, so she vowed to study hard and be the pillar of the family. But Eiko knows that as long as you study hard.

On graduation day, Eiko did well. When she got home, she found that her father's favorite flower had dried up, and many petals fell from the flower and fell to the ground. Eiko's eyes are full of tears. Looking back at his crying brother and sister, Eiko understood and went directly to the hospital. Seeing her dying father, she bowed her head helplessly.

From then on, Eiko understood: Dad's flowers have fallen, and I am not a child.

The book "Old Things in the South of the City" tells us to experience and cherish, and not to let childhood become a silly past. ...

Understanding "South of the City" is actually an unexpected encounter on the Internet. The cover is simple: several camels are standing in the sun; A businessman in a felt hat and thick linen on his feet; A large blank space is dazzling. Such a thin book and such a light one in my hand have given me some inexplicable feelings!

South of the City is the epitome of Lin's childhood. "How I miss the scenery and people who lived in the south of Beijing when I was a child! I said to myself, write them down and let the actual childhood pass, and the childhood of the soul will last forever. In this way, I wrote an old story of the south of the city. " The simplest truth, the simplest words, describes the world in Eiko's eyes through five chapters: Hui An Ting, Let's go to see the sea, Aunt Lan, and I am no longer a child after my father's flowers fall behind, and she sees the other side of Xiuzhen, a madman who people are far away from. I saw the miserable childhood life of a childhood girl as an abandoned baby; I saw the young man who kept saying "Let's go to the seaside". He gave adults and children two different feelings. Rack one's brains to break up dad and aunt LAN and maintain the perfection of the family; Seeing the nanny "Ma Song" lose her parents' pain and strength; I saw my mature and calm face when I lost my father!

It can be said that Eiko is a very lucky child, born in a family that is not poor, and has surpassed many childhood people at that time, giving her enough time to daydream, experience, experience and feel! Eiko has the liveliness that a childhood person should have. She will have fun with the girls in the well and make friends with young people she doesn't know without scruple. She also has the courage and understanding beyond her age. She helped girls find their biological mothers, intervened in the emotional world of adults, and bravely faced their father's death with their brothers and sisters. ...

I have to admire Lin. The text of the whole book is very fresh, telling one touching story after another that seems ordinary but full of unspeakable. Those old things that happened in the south of Beijing are like an old-fashioned movie. The picture is full of dim light peculiar to ancient movies, and from time to time, you can hear the hawking and shouting from the depths of hutong. Eiko is beside you, alive and kicking. We didn't expect such a woman.

In fact, I feel that life is what you and I do every day. I "enjoy" all kinds of pressures brought by high-speed life, just as Guo Haiping said in My Dwelling House: "Every morning, I wake up with a string of figures:' Food and clothing costs 2500, Ran Ran Kindergarten 1500, human relations 600, transportation 580 and property management 340. These figures make me dare not slack off for a day, and I have no time to think about the next decade. How can we have a future? My future is in sight. "The joy of life is being eroded by the city, and the complaints around you surround you and me like a flood. In this suffocating environment, it may be difficult to keep a calm heart. Perhaps once brilliant, but now suffering from poetry; Maybe I used to be full of pride, but now I just sigh and start from the beginning. Add some injustice and power like that, and the defense line of the heart may be destroyed!

So we yearn for childhood, for the innocence and simplicity of childhood, stay away from clutter, and go to the past to find inner comfort. However, the reality is extremely cruel. When you wake up from a beautiful dream, all you can feel is endless pain.

Then why don't we bring this mentality into real life? Looking at the world with a child's heart, do you think what was originally incomprehensible suddenly becomes clear? Less arguments, less troubles, heart-to-heart communication like Eiko, and at the same time infect people who still have prejudice around them.

I know, it's hard, the progress of the times is often at the expense of human indifference! We are readers of the past in the south of the city and also readers of life. It is difficult for us to copy Eiko's world. We just need to silently miss the stories that happened in the south of Beijing, and then inject their tranquility into our hearts. At that time, when we re-examine life, we may be much more comfortable! Things in the south of the city did not end with the closing of this book. It will stay in my heart forever and warm my soul!

Read the model essay on the past in the south of the city 4. Reading it for the first time & gt I was immediately attracted by the articles in the book. So Eiko and I walked into the story with the song "By the ancient road outside the pavilion, the grass is blue and the sky is blue …" and spent a happy childhood in the south of the city.

In this book, I got to know the camel team in winter, the girl by the well, Xiuzhen in Hui 'an Pavilion, the thief in the haystack, the charming Aunt Lan, and Uncle Dexian who ignored us ... The article that impressed me the most was:> This story mainly tells the story of Aunt Lan's courage to fight, escape from her old family and pursue love. At the same time, it depicts a kind woman-Eiko's mother. She sympathizes with Aunt Lan with kindness and talent, tolerates Aunt Lan and supports her pursuit of happiness. Let me read the characteristics of oriental women, and the quality that women in the old society dare to love and hate and pursue their own happiness.

At the same time, Eiko's mother reminds me of my mother. When I am sick, my mother will stay by my side, send me water to take medicine and fruit. When I am happy, my mother will take time to play with me and laugh with me ... if you want to ask me what part of my mother I like best? I will definitely answer: Mom's eyes, though ordinary, are full of love. When I don't behave well, my mother's eyes will look dim. She'll stare big and just ask me. Eyes like black glass balls seem to roll down from her eyes at any time. Mother's left eye is used to watch TV, and her right eye is specially used to watch me study hard. I can't help but say to my mother, "Your eyes are so busy!"

Finally, I think Eiko's childhood is happy because she has a good mother and a pure heart. With this heart and her family, her childhood will be so happy and joyful, such as crystal dew and pure crystal ... and recall the interesting childhood together with "the ancient road outside the pavilion, the grass is blue and the sky is blue ..."!

Reading "The Past in the South of the City" model essay 5 Recently, our whole class read the book "The Past in the South of the City" together. Like a spring flowing through a valley; Like a drop of water in my heart; Like flowers in front of my eyes, Zhan Yan. You can imagine how much this book has influenced me! This book describes Grandma Lin's childhood feelings of "joys and sorrows", "mixed feelings" and "joys and sorrows".

This book is a narrative, which is divided into five short articles: Hui Anting, let's watch the sea, Aunt Lan, rolling on the donkey, my father is behind me and I am no longer a child.

When I was a child, Grandma Lin was called Lin and Yingzi, but no one called her Lin. Eiko once had a good friend named Niu. Although Niu Niu is the daughter of a "madman", she is dressed in rags and covered with injuries from her father. Eiko's family is rich, but she doesn't care about playing with girls and often fights for them. From this, we can see their profound friendship. I envy them! However, Niu and Xiuzhen died tragically under the railway. It's a pity that Niu Niu can't see Old Things in the South of the City written by her childhood playmates.

When Eiko was in the sixth grade, his father died. As we all know, you can't call it home without it. Eiko has been burdened with family since she was a child. How hard she should work!

We are relatively happy: our mother does housework, our father cooks, and we are like little emperors all day. Can we afford to sleep in bed?

But what about Eiko? The people closest to her left her one after another: Niu Niu, Xiu Zhen, and her father who will never come back! Eiko is not sad? No way! What can we afford if we cross there? Can we bear hardships? I feel like I'm in it. I'm eiko.

Of course, the food here is also delicious! I like this book very much anyway. I hope you can read this book more. I've seen it a dozen times.

Today, because of "Reading Drifting", the teacher gave us this book "Old Things in the South of the City". Just sent it down, I read a page, I can't stop, and I'm getting out of control.

This book is a collection of autobiographical novels published by the famous female writer Lin Yu 1960, which is based on her life from 7 to 13 years old, and can be regarded as her masterpiece.

This novel embodies its "Beijing flavor" in language, characters and story content.

In the "Four" of Hui 'an Pavilion, the ending is so sad! "Crazy" Xiuzhen and the girl's voice are getting farther and farther away.

After reading Lin's "Childhood", I can't help but think of interesting things about my childhood.

I was much happier than Eiko when I was a child. I liked pranks when I was a child!

I remember when I first went to kindergarten, the teacher asked everyone to take a nap. Everyone fell asleep except me. When the teacher came in to watch, I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep. After a while, the teacher closed the door and left. I quietly took out a black marker and wanted to draw a lion and a tiger on my classmate's face. ...

When I approached a classmate's bedside, he suddenly opened his eyes and startled me. My heart was pounding. I ran to my bed, quickly pulled open the quilt and lay down to pretend to sleep. I thought to myself, Oh, my God! Scared me to death!

Compared with Eiko, I think I am much happier!

Reading "The Past in the South of the City" model essay 7 "The Past in the South of the City" is a book based on Lin's own childhood life in old Beijing. Although the five stories in The Old Story of the South of the City are not connected with each other, they have something in common. The protagonists in the story have established certain feelings with Xiaoying, but they all left the protagonist Xiaoying for different reasons.

After reading the book "Old Things in the South of the City", I was most impressed by the last chapter-"Dad's flowers have fallen, I am no longer a child". Because I am going to junior high school like Xiaoying in this chapter, and I am going to bid farewell to my childhood. In the last chapter, Xiaoying's father died. Xiaoying was unprepared for the sudden news. However, Xiaoying was very calm and quiet this time. With the departure of her father, Xiaoying's childhood ended like this.

Childhood is the best time in life. When we grow up, we all want to go back to childhood But people have to grow up after all, and they can't be children forever. Although Peter Pan in the book is a little boy who will never grow up, it is not true after all. We can remember our childhood in another way: keeping a diary and taking photos. Until we are old, can't we remember a lot of the past when we look at it?

After junior high school, we are not far from the adult world that I felt complicated since I was a child. When you are an adult, you will find the games you played as a child boring and naive. An article in a book wrote: keeping a childlike innocence can make people live longer. However, today's adults have lost their childlike innocence, so the world has become boring. Therefore, we should keep childlike innocence. If we are old, wouldn't it be nice to be an old urchin?

Childhood is the best time in life. Even after the past, as long as we take a look at what we used and wrote as children, can't we recall our childhood? So, uncles and aunts, grandparents, please take some time to recall your childhood!

After reading the past events in the south of the city, I was deeply touched. Most of all, it is sadness.

Old things in the south of the city The author of this book is Lin, who tells his happy childhood in Jingnan with a tender heart. Fragments of the ancient city, the painted font size of the old shop facing the street, the bolt of half the courtyard door, the flowerpot on the roof, and the winter snow on the wall of the imperial city. ...

All this slowly seeped into my mind: camel team, Hui 'an Pavilion, the well in the alley, the busy street, the haystack, and the figures emerging from these places: camel team in winter, the little girl by the well, the crazy woman in Hui 'an Pavilion-Xiuzhen, the thief hiding in the haystack, Aunt Lan with a crooked mouth, and the virtuous man who ignored "us".

I share this book with you today. I just want you to share with me the feeling of cherishing your childhood. Whenever I see children running around the playground, whenever I hear familiar nursery rhymes on the roadside, and whenever I smell the long-lost candy fragrance, it is still refreshing, and I always think of the innocence and cuteness of my childhood.

A drop of water can reflect the dazzling brilliance of the sun; A good book can purify a person's beautiful mind. I believe that after reading this book, our future will be better.

Now, the spring in my hometown permeates this strange place, which reminds me of my long-lost childhood and brings uncertain sadness. I might as well hide in the cold winter-but it's cold all around, which gives me great cold and air conditioning. "

When I was studying Lu Xun's Kite, I didn't feel much when I read this passage. But now, after watching Old Things in the South of the City, Eiko's smile made me rediscover the kite I had lost in my childhood.

The world in children's eyes is different from that in adults' eyes.

Children's minds are simple. They distinguish things in the world by good and bad. This quality is just a feeling, not a conclusion drawn through complicated analysis. However, children's ideas are different from those of adults, and even if they are analyzed, they may not be able to draw the same conclusions as adults. Therefore, adults say that camel bells are used to scare away wolves, but Eiko thinks it is to increase the fun on the way; The "madman" in the eyes of adults is Xiuzhen in the eyes of Eiko; A thief who is hated by adults is respectable in Eiko's eyes. People say that Xiuzhen is crazy, and they all avoid her because her past is spurned. Eiko ignores adults' ideas. Xiuzhen in her eyes is no different from other girls. She is just a big girl. Eiko understands Xiuzhen's pain in losing her child, so she won't discriminate against Xiuzhen because of her past like adults. On the contrary, she was moved by Xiuzhen's sincere maternal love. In the rain, she made Xiuzhen and Niuniu know each other and stole her mother's jewelry to pay for their travel expenses. If you are an adult, who will care about such a thing? Although the final outcome was very sad, Eiko never saw Xiuzhen and the girl again, but she didn't feel that she had done anything wrong. As a child, she doesn't understand the thoughts of adults.

When people grow up, they will start to care about other people's opinions and be afraid of being considered different from others. It's just that mom only dares to secretly inquire about Xiurong, but she dare not contact Xiurong. Ma Song is not afraid of Xiuzhen's madness, but is afraid that others will regard her as a madman and a different person like Xiuzhen. Children don't care about this. They satisfy their curiosity by any means, and they are not afraid of adults treating them as aliens. Children are different from adults. But in fact, children also have different concepts. I used to be treated as an alien, so I thought I would care about people who were treated as aliens like me, but this is not the case. In primary school, there was a girl who wanted to be best friends with me and my friends, but I mistakenly thought she was sowing discord. Therefore, when she gave us goods, invited us to eat vegetables and so on, I never understood that my childish heart was hostile and disgusted with her. It was not until she transferred to another school halfway that I suddenly realized how ridiculous what I had done. When we met again, my guilty apology was exchanged for the same words as in Lu Xun's Kite: "Is there such a thing?" He said with a surprised smile, just like listening to other people telling stories. He doesn't remember anything. What is there to forgive if you forget completely and have no resentment? Forgive without complaining, just lie. "I can't find the lost kite after all. Later, when you grow up, you will be excluded and treated as an alien. But I finally understand that everyone has personality, but I have more personality and less personality, and people always reject maverick people, so the so-called heterogeneity exists between people's respective communication norms. For example, some people still retain their precious childlike innocence when they grow up, but sometimes they can only be regarded as aliens by their peers.

Children always have some little secrets, and they are secretly happy about it. They don't want to share these secrets with adults. On the one hand, children may be more likely to keep their promises. On the other hand, children may never think that adults will understand these secrets, because adults will measure these behaviors with adult values, which is different from children's understanding, so they don't want adults to get involved in these things. Eiko didn't tell her family about the weirdo she met in the grass, because she promised him not to tell her family, and she kept her promise to listen to his story. These are all Eiko's secrets. In Eiko's eyes, he is very kind to his younger brother, although Eiko has vaguely known that he is the thief. However, when plain clothes got the stolen goods and took the thief away, Eiko still insisted that he was a good man. He stole for his brother and mother, so Eiko rebelled against her mother and looked forward to "watching the sea" with him.

Children always have their own opinions. When Aunt Lan went to Eiko's house, Eiko found that her parents were wrong and took the initiative to fix Aunt Lan and Uncle Dexian, using a child's.

The model essay 10 of "The Past in the South of the City" I read will grow up in our flapping dreams and splashing time. Grow up, suddenly look back. Where the lights are dim and the spots are free, some past events emerge. Lin compiled these past events into a book and opened it occasionally. Even if the book turns yellow, he will get a kind of happiness.

Lin was originally named Lin and nicknamed Eiko. When she was a little girl, she followed her parents to Beijing. At that time, the thought was not thick, and the new things in Beijing Hutong made Eiko feel very novel. The crazy woman in front of Huian Pavilion, the girl covered in whip marks, the thief who haunts the weeds, Ma Song, the wet nurse who accompanies her day and night, and her devoted father … all of them have played, talked and lived together with Eiko. Today, more than 50 years later, times have changed, things are different, and perhaps things have not changed. Lin, who is far away from Beijing, is still sentimental. The sadness in her heart is faint, and her thoughts are deep.

"I stood in front of camels and watched them chew: such an ugly face, such long teeth, such a quiet attitude. When they chew, the upper and lower teeth grind alternately, the nostrils are steaming, and the beard is full of foam. I was shocked and my teeth moved. " This is a classic fragment of the old story in the south of the city, from Dongyang childhood camel team. The camels visited Eiko's alley and attracted Eiko to observe it closely. In winter, the sunshine is as transparent as honey, spreading warmth, and the hot air turns into thick white fog. Camels wrapped in white fog are so quiet and simple. Eiko also learned to be calm from them. What should come will come, and it will always be full. Yes, the journey of life is so long that there are bound to be many setbacks and difficulties, but with a calm heart, watching the clouds, shadows, moonlight, wind and water on the whole road overlap and accumulate bit by bit, the storm will always pass and the sunshine rainbow will always appear.

The article Hui An Ting expresses a child's innocence, purity and pure feelings. She will simply jump out and say "I like you, Xiuzhen"; She will often go to Xiuzhen to help her clean the house and comfort her. She will wipe away Xiuzhen's tears and hold up her fate with warm hands. "Like"-a quiet and warm word, revealed in Eiko's lips, is more sincere. Like this heartfelt feeling, unlike love, you can do a lot of things for each other inadvertently without asking for anything in return. Under the rendering of this true feeling, they will gain a lot of warmth and touch.

The past is like a tide, rushing ashore again and again, touching the waterline of the reef in my heart again and again.

As long as there is love, the past will evaporate temporarily and then settle in my heart forever. Old things are dead but dependent, as long as love is there.
