From 1966 to 1976, ten years of catastrophe. The smashing of the Gang of Four, bringing order out of chaos, ushered in a new era of socialist modernization and made China prosperous again. With this historical background, we will understand that the fate of wisteria, from the scarcity of flowers to the destruction, is a portrayal and symbol of the fate of the whole country in this decade. Looking back on the fate of flowers and people, the author realized that "flowers and people will encounter all kinds of misfortunes, but the long river of life is endless", that is to say, when they encounter misfortunes, they should not be overwhelmed by bad luck, but should maintain a firm belief in long-term life. After bad luck, you can't always let sadness weigh on your heart. You should face a new life, cheer up and devote yourself to a great cause with high fighting spirit. The author understood it thoroughly, so "in the brilliance and fragrance of lavender, I unconsciously accelerated my pace." From the footsteps, we can feel the author's new mental state.
When studying this problem, we should also pay attention to the words "mystery of life and death, brotherhood" Brothers, brothers. What I'm talking about here is the author's younger brother, who is three years younger than her. He is terminally ill and dying, and he is anxious and sad to be a sister. Now, facing wisteria, I am "immersed in the brilliance of this dense flower, and there is nothing else for the time being, only spiritual peace and joy of life". It can be understood as "all kinds of misfortunes" including death. So, why do you say "the long river of life is endless"? Individual life is endless, and human life is endless. In other words, we should not be trapped in personal misfortune, but share the same fate with the people of the motherland.
