I am still young, I am eager to go on the road.


I am still young, I am eager to go on the road.

Text/Ganqiu heard the name of Kairuyak, went to the library to slap his "On the Road", then inadvertently borrowed the book, and then decided to open the first page, perhaps less than half a year. But after reading this novel, I found that I had followed most of the United States with Kerouac, and even had the feeling of living for most of my life. If you say that a good work is to make people think about their current life, then there is no doubt that "On the Road" is such a work.
Look at "On the Road", from the first page to the last page, you will have a feeling that you will never leave this book. If you look at the previous paragraph, you can't help but want to see the next paragraph, and you can't wait. You will never know the next chapter, Sal and Dean will go to that place, and you will never guess the next stop, what kind of things they will encounter. You are just looking forward to the uneasiness, looking forward to the next story, how it will be staged.
This feeling is like doing English reading comprehension in the 4th and 6th grade exams. Although some words you don't know, you will still read according to your own guess, and then you will have a general understanding. Similarly, in Keruyak's pen, sometimes we can only understand the approximate, but you will not be able to contain the inner desire, and then read it in one breath. That speed and passion will fill your entire mind and give you an impulse to get on the road right away.
Today, "On the Road" has been published for more than 50 years. If Kairuyak is still alive, he is almost ninety years old. However, his masterpiece has influenced generations of young people, although some say that it is the "Beat" of the United States in the 1950s, and Kerouac himself is also called "Beat." The soul of the generation. For those of us who are not “smashed generations”, “On the Road” is like a book that awakens the inner wildness, let us know that the freedom we desire is so light and easy for them, they It is so disdainful. Our spiritual beliefs are far from reaching their heights. Perhaps we can only become a “backpacker” at most, walking on the road by the name of “tourism”.
There is no doubt that the actual hero of "On the Road" is not Thrall? Paradis, but the Dean who is nervous in the eyes of others? Moriarty. Dean is a character that everyone can't believe, but everyone admires, but not everyone who admires him, it is better to envy his lifestyle, never worry, never know what is ahead, Always relying on the inner impulse, I will live forever in an environment where I am happy. This character is a bit like the teacher of Keating in "Spring Breeze", always obeying his inner choice, grasping today and being happy in time. And he constantly pursues the feeling of being on the road, in fact, because of the emptiness of real life, he wants to pursue his own beliefs, wherever he wants life, where he goes. Such a person is not worried, and there is no trouble, even if there are troubles, for him, it is nothing at all.
If there is no Dean, perhaps Sal does not know what life is. In this world, the most terrible thing is not that his life is pale, but that your life path is walking in an established orbit. You have no right to choose. It is like the question and confusion that Dean shouted in the streets of the night: "Human, what is your path? It is nothing more than the path of the sacred child, the road of madman, the path of emptiness and emptiness. The road, the road that follows you." And no matter what kind of road, it is all out of itself, it is their own identification. Dean may be such a person, he will not let his life fall into a pale, and will not let his life into the prison of life. Such people, whether in the United States in the 1950s or in contemporary society, may not be recognized by many people, but they cannot be surprised.
I really like the end of the novel, I even watched it several times. "So, in the United States, the sun went down. I was sitting on the dilapidated pier by the river, looking at the long sky over New Jersey. I was thinking about the vast expanse of land that had been stretched to the west coast, the endless road. Everyone who has dreams, I know that Iowa allows the children to cry at this time. There must be children crying. I know that many stars can be seen tonight. Do you know that the constellation is God? Tonight, Venus Be sure to hang down. Before the night of the blessing of the earth completely falls, sprinkle its sparkling light on the grassland, making all the rivers dim, covering the mountains and covering the coast. No one knows who is suffering except aging. At this time, I think of Dean Moriarty, I even think of the old Dean Moriarty we never found, I really want Dean Moriarty." As Xu Xing said, This is an unrivalled ending. It happened that after I finished reading, the sky was close to dusk, and Venus was about to rise, but I still couldn’t find my own way, the endless road.
I saw an article two days ago, written by a freshman. She said that she set foot on the road to Tibet after the college entrance examination ended. At that time, a book she had brought on her journey was encountered during the trip. A friend gave her, Kerouac's "On the Road." After reading her words, I suddenly had an inexplicable envy, envious of the girl who had been to Tibet, envied her on the train to Tibet and took Kerouac's "On the Road." Even though I went to Ninghai that time, I always took this book with me, but I didn't feel the kind of wandering.
I remember that I once said this to others. Maybe I will become a wandering person in the future, walk through the streets and use everything to record everything. Maybe I won't have Dean's madness, but I want to have that feeling. Many times, I also want to try, I am alone on the journey of the unknown, looking at the stars of the sky, as long as they still shine in the night sky, I will not be afraid. Life is in a hurry, I just feel that if you don’t go out and look at it when you are young, you may not have this experience anymore. As I said in "On the Road," I am still young, and I am eager to get on the road.
