No matter "Dream Back to Qing Dynasty" or "Letter", especially "Love between Life and Death", I deeply realized how these people who came back through should learn from tyrants and how ordinary people can survive in the open! Today, when I read this profound article, I once again deeply realized that the thickness of the book under a person's feet is the height of his life! Share ~

The British writer clive barker once said: "Every American family has two books, one is the Bible, and the other is probably Stephen King's The Shawshank Redemption."

The Shawshank Redemption has accompanied countless people through the most difficult days in their lives. Let the pessimist move on, let the helpless gain strength, let the arrogant feel awe, let the desperate see hope and let the confused start thinking. Every reader can draw different energy from it.

Many years ago, when I read this book, I saw an exciting escape bridge. Now I review this book and realize the profound meaning of this book-"Everything in the world has very impossible and unpredictable events."

No one expected that this promising young banker would be accused of killing his wife, cold-blooded killer. Despite the lack of evidence, Andy was unjustly imprisoned, and the story of Shawshank prison began.

The first night in prison is the hardest. Unexpectedly, Andy didn't say a word when his new cellmate cried all night. In fact, this banker who likes geology found something that can temporarily forget the pain that night. After buying a pickaxe from Rhett, he used sculpture to kill time every difficult night. This hobby not only keeps him from falling into darkness and doing nothing, but also is the beginning of his self-redemption. One day, he was bored to write on the wall, but unexpectedly found traces of concrete falling off the wall.

Andy, who graduated from the Business School of the University of Maine, not only has excellent financial knowledge, but also minored in geology and architecture because of his interest.

Shawshank Prison was built in 1930s, when concrete technology was not enough, and decades of wind and rain had already corroded the walls. After thinking, he realized that he might be able to dig a tunnel to the outside world. So, he leaned on the pickaxe and dug the passage quietly every night. The next day, he hid the excavated soil in his trouser legs and took it to the playground.

While working in the prison, he observed the structure of the prison while working. Other prisoners can only see prisons, playgrounds, prison guards and jailers; Andy saw underground ventilation pipes, sewers and emergency passages.

A person's knowledge system is his blueprint for understanding the world.

Andy can survive and find the way to freedom without his rich knowledge reserve and extraordinary cognitive ability. All the questions in life have their own answers in books. For everyone, every knowledge learned is laying an egg for the future, which will become a surprise gift at some point in life to help us cross the maze.

There are two most exciting plots in the book.

Once, when Andy was repairing the roof, he heard Hadley, the prison guard, complain that he was bequeathed by his brother, but he had to pay a large amount of tax. At the risk of being shot, he bravely told Hadley: "Everyone can give a gift to his spouse once in his life, up to 60 thousand yuan, without paying a penny of tax." Hadley, who knew Andy's identity as a banker, relaxed his vigilance and accepted Andy's help gladly. For the first time, Andy used his professional skills to win the benefits of three bottles of beer for each prisoner. At that moment, they were bathed in the sunshine on the roof and gained a moment of freedom.

The second time, Warden Norton made a surprise inspection. Looking at the tunnel behind the poster, Andy picked up the Bible with a pickaxe and pretended to read it. The warden took Andy's Bible and asked, "Which chapter do you like best?" After a little thought, Andy replied with a poem in the book: "When I saw you, I knew you were the head of the family." In a word, the warden was elated. The warden immediately said the source of this passage and said that he preferred the sentence "I am the light source of the world." If you follow me, you won't go into darkness, but you will get the brilliance of life. " Andy said, "Yue Se, chapter 8, section 12." The warden gave Andy a grateful look and then returned the Bible to Andy. Because he likes reading and is familiar with the Bible, Andy saves himself.

After two trials, Andy's ability has been widely recognized. The warden transferred him from the laundry room to the library to help him launder money. Prison guards began to look for Andy to file tax returns and manage money, and the prison library became a "tax haven" for all prison guards. His talents were useful to the prison authorities, and the prison guards helped him solve the abnormal "three sisters" who had been infringing on him. He no longer needs to engage in heavy manual labor and live a decent free life in prison. In the same prison, some people were dying, and some people were killed by prison guards. Andy gained the most rare thing in prison-respect through reading.

Shawshank Prison is, after all, a microcosmic society. Andy's experience reveals a simple and heartfelt "hidden rule": this society is unfair, and you are as special as you are useful. Many times, the differences between people depend on each other's ability level. Life without reading has no choice but to be forced to the most cramped corner by life. People who study have a better chance to break the shackles of class, climb the ladder and become respected people.

The thickness of books under a person's feet is the height of his life.

In Shawshank prison, some people yearn for the starry sky outside the high wall, while others are content with the dullness and order inside the wall. Librarian Bruce obviously belongs to the latter. After serving 50 years in prison, he received a parole notice, but deliberately committed a crime in an attempt to stay in prison. But he was forced to leave after his trick was discovered. However, years of isolation left him at a loss about the outside world.

The constant flow of vehicles in the street made him panic; The towering buildings suffocated him. After he was released from prison, he was assigned to work in a supermarket. However, his aging and slow action are always complained and accused by customers. He lives in a state of high pressure and can't even sleep well. In prison, he is an educated and decent man; In society, he is a down-and-out "redundant person". Bruce, who lives in fear every day, chose to commit suicide a year later.

There is a saying in the book: "When you first went to prison, you hated the high walls around you;" Slowly, you get used to living in it; In the end, you will find that you have to rely on it to survive. This is called institutionalization. "This' institutionalization' is like a knife, cutting off the connection between people and society; Another example is an anesthetic that numbs everyone's mind. People who are put in prison are everywhere.

Andy always reminds himself that even if he is tired every day, he still keeps the habit of reading. For six years in a row, he wrote to the state government every week, asking for funds to buy books for the Shawshank prison library. With Andy's unremitting efforts, the state finally decided to give Shawshank Prison an annual subsidy of 800 dollars, and Andy used the money to buy all kinds of old books and records. The narrow and shabby library has become the largest prison library in New England. Andy can find books and materials in almost any field by various means.

In the isolated 27 years, American society has undergone earth-shaking changes. Andy always relies on the vast resources of the library to keep pace with the times. "Some birds are caged. Their feathers are too bright, their songs are too sweet and too wild. " Although his body is imprisoned, Andy's soul is always free. Because through reading, he can keep learning new things and touch the pulse of the times as much as possible without being stifled by institutionalization.

Books are still good medicine, which can cure fools; Books are like huge rulers, which can measure the world. Maybe we are imprisoned in a place of three feet, but we can still feel the endless changes of the outside world through reading.

At the end of the film, on a stormy night, Andy successfully escaped from his birth by digging a tunnel in 19 and spent the rest of his life on an island in the Pacific Ocean.

Shawshank prison, an indestructible cage, Andy knocked on the door of freedom with knowledge as the key. He is proficient in financial knowledge and can help all prison guards avoid taxes and manage their finances, so he has relatively free space in prison; He can recite the Bible by heart, so the warden didn't find his pickaxe hidden in the Bible when he visited the house for the first time. He studies geology and meteorology in the prison library, so he can dig through the wall and climb out of the 500-yard underground pipeline; Knowing the household registration policy, he can use the opportunity to help the warden launder money, reshape a new identity and prepare for life after prison break.

Everything is so coincidental and natural. Every humble knowledge and skill helped him knock on the door of freedom.

There is a saying in the Buddhist scriptures: "Donate instead of donating", which is just right for Andy.

In this world, there is no way to get something for nothing, and there is no book for nothing. Any time you spend reading will be rewarded at some point in the future. When you didn't expect it, in the direction you can't see, the seeds you planted are quietly taking root. One day, they will grow into a forest.
