Chapter 4 Book Review: Small Stories, Great Compassion

Book reviewer Guo Xiaohan People who are humorous are mostly wise, and people who are both wise and humorous can be called "great wisdom". "Peking University Drunk Man" Kong Qingdong is quite close to this kind of person.When I was in college, I loved reading it, and I couldn't help laughing; a few days ago, watching "Lecture Forum of Hundred Schools" every night in the middle of the night and listening to him talk about martial arts has become a kind of enjoyment in daily life. It is about the life of Kong Xia who taught at Ewha Womans University in South Korea for more than two years.There are diaries, essays, and essays.Whether it is writing landscapes, telling stories or writing a diary, Kong Xia brushes his brushes in a spontaneous, natural, random and thought-provoking way.

2005 was a very strong year for the "Korean Wave". , Pei Yongjun, Jang Nara, TVXQ... Korea's star foreign "export" policy made us all see warm and handsome Korean men and improved beauties, but the real Korean how is itIs it true that South Korea, which has always paid attention to women's words and deeds, is full of sassy girlfriends now?Why is the Korean filmed every day just kimchi miso soup?Those children who wear wide pants and dyed yellow hair all over the street can really find the same kind in Korea? A good writer should have a sense of responsibility, but this sense of responsibility should not only be manifested in oral speeches or preaching. I prefer Kong Xia’s way of telling stories and jokes objectively and concretely, based on some small things and knowledge I personally experienced. , and these small things are not trivial and boring. Behind the small things is a kind of great compassion, a kind of face-up and reflection on history, nation, culture and personal virtue.

For example, from his duel with Stone Buddha Lee Chang-ho, he mocked himself and expressed everyone's due mentality.He highlights the Chinese and Korean attitudes towards knowledge through his description of the female students who flew to his lectures.Through my own observation of others in the dressing room, at the dining table, and on the street, I realized the various human emotions behind the secular fireworks.This effect is like giving a dart secretly, and it hits the nail on the head, secretly cool!What's more, what's valuable is that he doesn't forget to keep silent to himself occasionally when he's happy with other things. This kind of modest and self-deprecating attitude is exactly the demeanor of a tolerant person.

This book is very fashionable, let alone the "Korean wave", just this kind of prose plus diary form, it should be the most popular "blog" style at present.This kind of scattered chapters, which always sparkles with humor and wisdom, further narrows the distance between Kong Xia and readers.However, I recently learned that Kong Daxia has also caught up with the new trend and opened a "Dongbo Academy" on the Sina blog. It is humorous and has a high click rate.I wish that Kong Daxia can also get rid of the blog as soon as possible!
