The title of Gao Laotou's thesis
After reading the old man Gao, there are others in my heart: "the true feelings of the world, beautiful love, parental affection ... all of these are so pale and powerless in front of naked money." These words at the back of the book left a deep impression on me. Yes, in the Paris society in the first half of the19th century, the money relationship between people is really too common. With the Paris society as the background, The Old Man Gao painted an ugly picture of the capitalist money society. Rasty Nie, the son of a ruined aristocrat, came to Paris to go to college and lived in a remote apartment. He couldn't stand the temptation of the upper class. He met two young women through his distant cousin, Madame Boucylon, and entered the aristocratic salon. And these two young women are the daughters of the old man who lives with him in Fugai apartment. Lao Gaoman was a bourgeois nouveau riche who was infatuated with his daughter and spent all his money for them. But he scrimped and saved, became a miser, was abandoned by his daughter because of poverty, became a victim of money relations, and died tragically. The old and generous father's love made his two daughters step into the upper class, but they abandoned him because of his doting. "At 6 o'clock, the old man's body came down from the grave and stood around his daughter's house. As soon as Rasty paid for the short prayer, these things disappeared with the priest. " Even at the old man's funeral, his daughter didn't come to see him. Poor old man! And his poor father's love, in the face of dazzling money, seems too insignificant, and finally can only be convinced by money. As for the other hero of the article, Rasty Nie, the only friend of Gao Laotou, was originally honest and kind, but later he was reduced to an ambitious man who desperately wanted money because he could not resist the temptation of high society and money. "He looked at the grave and shed the last tear of the young man. This is a tear in a pure heart forced by sacred feelings, which flies to the sky as soon as it falls to the ground. "How precious these tears are in that money society. However, after this sincere tear, "his greedy eyes stay between the pillars of Fandom Square and the dome of Anwar Ritter Palace, which is the upper-class area. In the face of this noisy hive, his eyes sparkled, as if to suck up the honey there. " What is about to be staged is the transaction of money and all kinds of tragedies of selling oneself for money. Now, the old Paris society no longer exists. But in fact, it is all kinds of things, and it is still lurking in this society. The book "Gao Laotou" made me really understand that having the power to gain benefits can only bring temporary happiness, not forever. We should learn to dominate money, not be dominated by it. Moreover, before you do everything, ask your conscience, because if you betray him carelessly, your conscience will condemn you for no good end.
