Shuxiang House was written on 1938. At that time, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression had already broken out and the national disaster was imminent. University professors can only rent humble houses when they go to Chongqing. Obviously, it is a simple room, but the author calls it "elegant house", which shows the author's helplessness to the war and ridicule his living environment.
It is said that in a vast desert with yellow sand, a hungry man walked into a broken wooden house and found half a bottle of water on the table. At this time, optimists will say, "Wow, great, there is still half a bottle of water!" " And pessimists always say, "That's it, there's only half a bottle of water. "In the face of the same situation, different people will have different views, so they will have different experiences. From the essay "Elegant House", we can see that Mr. Liang Shiqiu is indeed a wise man with a cheerful and optimistic attitude and broad-minded feelings.
