review胡伟凤18 E26

    Having heard the king Gou Jian sleeping on brushwood and tasting gall, heard Huang Jiguang's bravery, heard Lei Feng’s self-dedication, heard Lu Xun's abandon medicine from the text...I always feel that these people have some common characteristics but also cannot play what is specific. After reading Gu Hongming's book, I was able to sum up in some words that the Chinese spirit is the Chinese people's deep, simple and broad.
     Compared with developed countries, our history is longer than theirs, but many technologies are slightly inferior. However, it is the thousands of years of history that has created Chinese people, no matter men, women, the old or children, with the simplicity that Americans do not have, British do not have, and Germans do not have.
     Chinese people are used to living with sunrise and sunset. Men are the backbone of the family diligent and women from the three and four virtues of husbands and children. No matter how social relations change, Chinese people adhere to the original heart, against the childlike innocence of the mind neither humble nor pushy. From inscriptions on bones or tortoise shells to official script of small seal script to regular script of song dynasty, and from classical Chinese to vernacular Chinese, Chinese characters contain the profound connotation of the Chinese people. Language is the carrier of a nation's cultural inheritance and contains the spirit and characteristics of a nation. Gu Hongming said that Chinese is a language of the soul, a poetic language, he used the classical Chinese literature as an example to learn Chinese must have talent, the heart and brain soul and wisdom of the synchronous development.
     Through the analysis of Chinese people's spiritual depth, the comparison between eastern and western cultures and the examples, the book shows that the real Chinese people are those who live a rational adult life with a childlike mind. I don't know how to express the wonderful mood I enjoyed when reading the book. In a word, thanks to the book, I learned many interesting things that I had never learned before.
     Gu hongming was so accomplished in literature that his book caused a great sensation when it was published, and many countries scrambled to publish translations in different languages. And the book still caused a great stir in the society at that time and even today.
      On that day several decades ago, it was the publication of this book that made people all over the world see Chinese people's names again and the spirit of Chinese people. Gu Hongming's "the spirit of Chinese people" not only maintained the dignity of Chinese people and stood up our image, but also changed some westerners' prejudice and misunderstanding of China. As the new youth of China in the new era, we should learn from the useful parts of the book, and strive to become a profound, broad and simple person.
