"Old Man" read

These days, I read with my parents the "old man" written by the 19th century French realist writer Balzac. This great work profoundly reveals the dark reality of French society at that time and the cold money relationship between people. It is shocking to read, and it also sighs for Balzac's profound disclosure of society.

The story took place in Paris during the restoration of the Bourbon dynasty. The protagonist is the old man of Gaurio and Rastigne, in addition to Mrs. Volt and Mrs. Bossein. These four people each have different experiences, but they reflect a common social phenomenon from different angles - the decisive role of money in society, it is seductive, it makes the relationship between people become ruthless, it directs A scene of human tragedy. Gao Li was originally a flour merchant. During the Great Revolution, he hoarded the plagues and made a fortune. In order to let the two daughters climb a good relationship, he gave most of his property to them. However, the two daughters only had money in their eyes, but in two years, they drove their father out of their homes. The poor old man had to rent a dilapidated apartment. For 20 years, he gave his blood and property to two daughters, but in the end he was thrown away by the daughters like the dried lemon shell. Until the death, the two daughters are not willing to see the last side of their father in order to participate in the dance, let him hate. Where does this society still have a moral ideal? Money is the ruler of the whole society, the winner wins, the loser loses. The other protagonist of the work, Rastigne, has experienced a process of degeneration. Under the strong contrast between the upper society and the lower social life, his character has slowly changed. The gap between the rich and the poor has spurred his desires. Finally, he could not resist the temptation of money and embarked on the road of bourgeois career. . These scenes described in the works are cool, amazing and inspiring.

Who can say that there is no such fact in today's society? Once many people go to society, they can't afford the lure of money and various interests, and eventually become slaves to money. Corruption, bribery, extortion, stealing, robbery...not all for money? But what is the end of the game? However, it was a panic all day long, and it was like a year, and eventually it had to face a dark prison cage and was reviled by the world. Why are we always so careless and fall into the trap of money? Why are you going to take it with your nose? Can we not dominate the money? can! Of course. "Money is not the source of all evil. Only when you are excessively, selfishly, and greedily love it, it is the source of all evils." As long as you stick to the correct outlook on life, face up to the money, and be honest, you will not fall into money. The mud.

We should not be too demanding about life, we should cherish everything we have. For money, we should have a clear understanding. In fact, the greatest asset we have is to have a colorful life. Only by recognizing this, we will live more open and happier.
