? Professor mori schwartz, the hero of the story, is a sociology professor in Boston, USA. He is a dance fan. He goes to the church in Harvard Square for a free dance every Wednesday night. No one there knows that he is a famous doctor of sociology, a professor with many years of teaching experience and many academic monographs. They all think that he is an old madman. However, the news of his death was obtained on the day when he stopped dancing.
? He suffers from ALS (gradual freezing disease, the same disease as the late scientist Mr. Hawking), which is like a candle that melts the patient's nerves a little. Starting from the leg, gradually paralyzed and unconscious from the bottom up. The body is as hard as a shell, but the thoughts and thoughts imprisoned in it jump like flames. When one day, the only breathing that keeps in touch with the outside world is blocked, the patient will die. Generally this process takes five years. The doctor told Professor Murray that he could live for two years at most. He knew that time was shorter.
? An old man on the verge of death, an old man who thinks that his present situation will make him cry, people thousands of miles away will be sad and his heart will be extremely soft, but he has made a major decision-to face death bravely. He chose to be studied by others, and he was happy to be his own textbook. He let the TV camera record his illness, and inadvertently called his student, a student sixteen years ago, a journalist and writer, to visit his dying teacher in a hurry. Professor Murray's warmth, selflessness and wisdom awakened the students' ignorant state and warmed their numb and world-weary hearts. So, the student who left the teacher 16 years returned to Murray's side. Every Tuesday, students fly 700 miles by plane and get to the hospital bed for class. An old professor, a student, the last life lesson, a true story, so this tuesdays with morrie (Chinese version) came into being.
When I read this book, love is the first word that comes to my mind. He reiterated in the final course:
Life is like a wrestling match. Which side won? Love will win. Love is always the winner. I am deeply convinced! Life and games are everywhere. As the son is about to enter adolescence, the daily mother's nagging and the son's passive resistance to the "spiritual victory law" have become the norm. Although I learned the wisdom of being a mother in reflection, I never regret it. It comes from the persuasion and companionship of love. It is inevitable that husband and wife will stumble, but I have been the winner for more than ten years. I know this is because of my husband's inclusive love. When there are too many tears at work after setbacks, then dry them and move on. This persistence stems from my initial heart and love for my career. When friends get along, it is inevitable that there will be pain, but they rarely care. This is due to the girlfriends who have experienced hardships and witnessed growth. Blood is thicker than water. ...
Professor Murray was still studying at the last moment of his life. He is experiencing respectfully, learning from the experience and preparing lessons from the experience. Experience what? Experience the coming of death. He has this feeling. He said that if you learn to die, you learn to live. The student asked him what he would do if he had another completely healthy day. Murray described his perfect day:
I believe that as a reader, you will be as shocked as the author when you read Professor Murray's Perfect Day. Why is Professor Murray's perfect day so simple?
? So, I imagine, if I still have one year in this world, what do I want to do most? First, I think I will still dress myself up, I want to live with dignity, and I want to leave with dignity. The love of beauty has been injected into my blood. Secondly, if I still have the strength, I will travel. The first stop is France and Europe. 10 years ago, I faced France along the Thames across the English Channel. I am conceited and full of expectations for the future. Time flies, only to know that it has become my distant dream. I'm going to Canada, where I have my best sister. Once, our Hunan sisters rushed to Chicago like yesterday, and I asked the three sisters to go to Canada to relive their sisterhood. I also want to go to Africa, which is a primitive and exotic land. Haha, life is not wild, but when! Thirdly, I want to give teachers and children another satisfactory and wonderful lesson. The podium has always been my attachment and the value of my life. Fourth, if there is still a month, I will say goodbye to the people I love and those who love me. It's hard to get to know each other, but it's harder to be together. Relatives and friends who have been together for many years say goodbye one by one and thank you for appearing in my life. Finally, I want to record everything around me, every plant, every meal, every bowl and every dish with my eyes. ...
? Thought of here, I am calm. Love, beauty, interest and expertise are rare in the world; Every blade of grass, tree, meat and dish is an intriguing touch in life. Those who know me make me worry, and those who don't know me make me want! It turns out that the pursuit of the world is like a fleeting cloud, and it is so pale and powerless in the face of life and death. It's no use taking advantage. Between life and death, between trade-offs, Professor Murray realized the true meaning of life: simplicity, humility and selfishness.
The student asked Professor Murray, What is the hardest thing in life? He said, live in peace with life. A calm and powerful conclusion.
This gentleman who is admired on the podium and loved in life, with the deepening of his illness, embarrassing scenes continue one after another: he can't step on the brakes and bid farewell to driving; Often tripping, he bought crutches; If you have difficulty changing clothes, please hire a home care worker and bid farewell to privacy; Finally, someone else wiped it ... At first, he resisted, but soon he was relieved.
This mentality is enough to resolve all life tragedies. This kind of acceptance is enough to become the most intelligent lesson in life courses. Professor Murray is real. In the face of the great misfortune of life, he has also fallen, and he will cry for himself for a while in the morning. However, he soon detached himself. Instead of feeling sorry for himself, he chose to reconcile with life-accept it frankly. He saved energy and time to do more meaningful and valuable things, experience death quietly and share his feelings about life with the world. The world is the softest and the world is the strongest. In the face of life and death, there is no doubt that he is fragile and vulnerable. However, at the end of his life, he made the strongest sound of life in his own way. What a philosophical aesthetic scene this is!
? Nine times out of ten, life is unsatisfactory. Make peace with life, forgive yourself and accept it frankly. Instead of feeling inferior in envy, it is better to accept me now, not to think about the past, not to be afraid of the future, to live in the present and live a better self; Instead of sinking into setbacks, it is better to strive for self-improvement and hone your rich wings in difficulties. ……
? Professor Murray has been teaching in 14 class, and I wrote down my deepest feelings.
? There are no great works and bloody facts in this book. It flows into the body like a glass of lemonade, washes away the dust in the heart, and is clear-headed and self-sustaining. Only in this way can reluctance become willingness, unhappiness become happiness, and nothing becomes everything.
Professor Murray's inscription has been written: lifelong teacher. Low key but confident! I have been a teacher all my life, and the last lesson, about life, is wonderful!
