Blog 3: Life(a novel)

Before I have read a novel--Life, written by Lu Yao. The first character, whose name was Gao Jialin, was almost an perfect youth. There was no obvious shortcoming of him. He always got first place in an exam when he was in the senior high school. He was talented at writing and good at playing basketball. If there was an obstacle, he could become mentally stronger and more confident. Because of the poor education standard, in his class there was no one who was admitted into a college after graduation from high school. Nor did Jialin. But thanks to someone who know and appreciate Jialin's ability, Jialin was chosen to be a teacher in a primary school. However, the good situation did not last for a long time. After the son of the village head graduated, he replaced Jialin to teach in the school. As a result, Jialin became a farmer. He was depressed and upset. Luckily, the pure love between him and a girl--Qiaozhen, relieved him and made him be hopeful about future. Because someone wanted to flattered Jialin's uncle, who was an officer in the county, Jialin was given a job by some illegal process. When he worked in the county, Jialin got a sense of self-development and wanted to live more dreams. Gradually, he did not admire Qiaozhen so much as before and he fell in love with another girl, who was a classmate of the senior high school. Finally, Qiaozhen got married with a farmer. Yet something unfortunate happened to Jialin in the end. The affair about his job was accused.With great regret and disappointment, he became a farmer once again.
This is the summary of the novel. Jialin is an aspiring and outstanding man. He had his own faults, but the biggest problem causing his failure was the social problems. There was no adequate resources and opportunities in his time. Many youth like Jialin could not achieve their dream. Nowadays situations have changed a lot and we should treasure present happiness. Tell youself, "Never lose heart. Never give up. Try your best to pursue what you want."
