Today I would like to share a book with you.About two years ago,my friend introduced a book to me,the name of it was “The Five People You Meet In Heaven”.At first sight, I was attracted by the front cover of the book,it is sky, maybe it symbolized the purity of heaven.In the middle,there is a feather floating in the air,which make me think of the movie “Forest Gump”,it gives me a sense of quiet and freedom.So,I couldn`t wait to open the book.
The story begins with a man named Eddie,he was a repairman of an amusement park,he died at his 83 years old birthday in order to save a little girl`s life.Then Eddie gone to heaven.There,he met five people,each of them taught Eddie an important lesson.
The first people he met was a man,in the story we called him The Blue Man,he found Eddie and said to Eddie”I`ve been waiting for you”Eddie shocked,cause he didn`t knew him,then The Blue Man told Eddie a story,when Eddie was seven years old,nothing but a naught boy. One day,Eddie was playing his new basketball,suddenly,the basketball rolled onto the road,Eddie ran to catch it,just then,the Blue Man drove nearly,when he found Eddie,it was too late to stop the car,so he made a turn suddenly,then the car crashed,The Blue Man died.He didn`t blame on Eddie when they met in heaven,but taught him a lesson:
There is no action that happens by chance,every thing is in contact with another,when one people die another people survive,everyone`s life is meaningful,when you feel lonely helpless and have nothing to do,it is just a waste of time.
The second people he met was his Captain,Eddie was a soldier during the WWII,one day before they leave the enemy`s town,they set fire to every house,just then,Eddie found a girl in the corner of a house,he ran to save her,but the Captain shoot Eddie`s left leg in order to stop him and save his life, Eddie`s war experiences and leg injury darkened his view of life and happiness,what is worse,it broke Eddie`s dream of being an engineer, at last, the Captain was killed when saving others soldiers` lives.
The Captain told Eddie that,Self-Sacrifice is a part of life,it is not deserve to be regretful,but to be learned.Once you feel you`ve lost something,in fact,you did not really lost it,it was only passed to another person.
Then Eddie met the third people,her name is Ruby,she had no relationship with Eddie,the purpose of her appearance was just giving Eddie a lesson.Eddie had a bad impression on his father at his childhood,till his father`s death,Eddie still did not stopping hating him.
Ruby told Eddie that,anger is like a kind of poison,it bite your heart from inside,we can regard anger as a weapon, but when you use it to attack the person who harmed you,it harms yourself as usual.So try and learn to forgive.
The fourth people impressed me very much,it was Eddie`s wife Marguerite.They got married at Eddie`s seventeen years old, they loved each other deeply,she died young,but Eddie`s love lasted continuously.
When Eddie met her in heaven,she told Eddie,though I can`t see your face,can`t touch your hair,can`t dance with you,I still love you,but,in another style,when one kind of feeling fade away,another kind of feeling stronger and stronger.Memories become my companions,I hug it,protect and precious it.Life will end,anyway,love will not.
The last people Eddie met was Tala,she was the girl Eddie saw in fire during the WWII,she told Eddie that the last lesson we should learn is self-redemption,in our lifetime,no one can do everything successfully without making mistake or hurting others,so self-redemption is very important.Only by looking straightly into your heart,and getting a thorough understanding of yourself,can you break away from your confusion.
That is the story of Eddie,from the story I know that the end of one`s life is also a new beginning. Heaven is not a place like the Garden of Eden but a place where you can find your real life on the earth,to be yourself again,but better than it was before. Everyone will meet five people in heaven,the five people will always waiting for you,waiting for your growing up,,waiting for loving you,waiting for your growing old,waiting for your death and waiting for answering your queations.
Everyone should cherish your life,cherish your friends and family,cherish the ones who love you and who you love.
第二篇:天堂口读后感
《天堂口》赏析
一直以来,对火葬场总有一种下意识的恐惧。
火葬场无一例外的都建在远离人群的市郊区,地处荒凉,人烟稀少,天总是阴沉沉的,气氛总是阴森森的。
火葬场仿佛是阴阳两界的交界口,仿若又是亲人朋友与死者生离死别的地方,阴气重也就成了必然。
火葬场里的人无论是工作人员还是死者亲属朋友,全部都挂着个脸,面色凝重,轻言少语。
总而言之,火葬场就是一听便让人慎得慌地方。我从未想过竟会有人给这个阴森的地方起一个如此温馨的名字——“天堂口”,让我前所未有的对这个让人恐惧的地方有了一次彻底的改变。
让我觉得本是让人恐惧,让人与至爱至亲生离死别的地方开始变得温馨起来。离别虽然使人觉得太过伤心,但想着对亲人爱人来说或许是种解脱了结。喝了孟婆汤过了奈何桥经历轮回,开始与从前告别的新生活。
作者是贵州修文人,他在一次访谈中也表达过这样的意思,他说:“我从小在乡村长大,熟悉乡村生活,我是在乡村完成了自己心灵的原始构建。所以,当构思创作乡村题材的小说时,我的视角不自觉又回到了那片土地。我们这一代人,处在乡村和城市最活跃的融会时期,对乡村文明和城市文明都有自己的感受。相对而言,乡村给我的烙印更深刻一些,也更具有艺术的阐发冲动。所以,我觉得我只能写乡
村。”文字中略微带有些方言的味道。
小说故事发生在作者从小成长的修文县,讲述了一个发生在火葬场的故事。
小说写了一个在火葬场工作而心地平善良的人物——范成大,他将爱心给了死者,对死者特别的尊重,他一直认为,人老去了,应该干干净净地进去,因为那里是通往天上的入口。
简陋的火葬场成了亡灵通往天堂的入口,再破旧再狭小的地方也因此变得神圣起来,再简单再无味的仪式也因此变得郑重且又庄严。那些离去的人,无论生前的身份和地位多么的卑微与渺小,在这里他们依然会得到一份属于他们的最后的尊严。善良的范成大会为他们整装、修容和吟诵挽歌,希望自此之后,他们的灵魂真的可以通往极乐。
范成大只是一个小小的火化工,他不仅对工作兢兢业业的一丝不苟,有活干活,没活就清理火花床,很仔细的清理,有时候可以折腾一个上午。虽然有的人瞧不上火化工,还背地里说他身上有死人的味道。工作除了疲惫,他还感觉到了惬意。
尽管有人瞧不上他的工作,甚至还有人奚落他说他身上老有股怪味道,说他是和死了的那些好看的女人亲过嘴。但这个时候的范成大该干什么干什么,不说话,也不看奚落他的人。
但是他还是怀着他的爱心,对死者的尊重让原本阴郁而冰冷的丧事充满了温情,无论身份多么卑贱,无论给不给前,他都用他百分之百的爱心去对待。让我们的内心温热而湿润了起来,有时他甚至会为了有的死的不值得的人掉眼泪。更值得欣慰的是:那一句“上天咯”,让
人觉得没那么悲伤,仿佛开始一番新的旅程一般得,让人不禁有种怪异的喜悦之情。
范成大还是一个开朗的人,因为年纪越来越大,柳姨妈还为他忧心忡忡的担心他失业的问题,他还很洒脱的说着“搬不动了,不干就不干,饿不死”。由此可见他很乐观。
或许范成大真心的很喜欢这份工作,尽管住的很远也会偷偷地跑回来看看,还会喊着上天咯。
范大成对死者的尊重,是让很多生者都惭愧的。体现了对死者的关怀。尊重死者,其实,不仅仅是尊重死者,也是慰籍所有活着的人。
对生命,对死者的尊重,也许是我们最起码的道德;古人说得好,“死者为大”,也许,这四个字所诠释的,也是尊重。
无论你是贫穷,富有,疾病,健康,愚笨,聪明,丑陋,美丽。生命于我于你都只有一次,无论你安于平淡或追求一次绝美的绽放。人人都是平等,死了的人也还是人。
作者笔下的天堂口留给了人们很长的遐想,文中包含许多教育人的意义在其中,很值得我们去深思。
