Moon and dream

Reading this book has some twists and turns. The story of the talented painter Van Gogh and Gauguin has always been legendary. Knowing that the original form of the protagonist in the moon and sixpence is Gauguin, and that the moon and sixpence is very famous, I want to find out what stories are written in the book. First, I borrowed it from the library, but I didn't get it. I only borrowed a book written by Maugham to comment on other works. It should be good to think about the same author. As a result, the stories involved in the book were not well understood. I couldn't read it. I was disappointed. Later, I was lucky enough to borrow a book from Mr. Zhu. When I got the book, I immediately read it. Maybe it was because I had too much expectation. The author only foreshadowed some things in the first few chapters, which was very boring and a little disappointed in my heart, so the book was shelved. Suddenly one day, Mr. Zhu made some comments on this book, which was very interesting and interested in finishing the book as soon as possible. In this book, the author uses the first person narrative technique to tell the story of Strickland's abandoning his happy family, stabilizing his social status and pursuing his ideal of painting. In order to pursue his dream, he does not fear the poverty of life and ignores the suffering of his illness. For decades, he never regrets. This practice may only be achieved by genius. After the death of the Aboriginal people, the more wonderful his painting is, the more blind he will be He is painting with his life. Although the story of the novel is somewhat exaggerated, I think the author wants to express the gap between ideal and reality through this contrast. The moon was high and ethereal, and the sixpence was very humble, but very real. There was a big gap between them, but both were indispensable. In life, while we are busy, we still need to look up at the moon and not forget to pursue our dreams. Only in this way can life be more meaningful.
