Who can say what is the value of life? How should we cherish and love life?

There is a dialogue like this: after the rain, the rainbow saw the curved stone bridge and said to her, "Sister on the earth, your life expectancy is much longer than mine."

Shiqiao replied, "How come? You are so beautiful that you must be eternal in people's memory. "

Yes, rainbow's life is not as eternal as stone bridge, and stone bridge is not as beautiful as rainbow. However, I think the views of Rainbow and Shiqiao are one-sided. Although the stone bridge is not beautiful, it has been firmly placed on both sides of the strait for a long time, silently communicating and doing things for people, which is its life value; Although the existence of the rainbow is only a moment after the rain clears, the beauty of that moment has left a permanent memory. This is also the value of life.

As petofi said: "The amount of life is calculated by time, and the value of life is calculated by contribution." Life is limited, the road of life is only a few decades, and we can't extend it indefinitely, nor can we seek its eternity. But we can pursue beauty, we can give everything to ourselves, and decades of silent dedication can be exchanged for eternity; A magnificent feat, a moment of beautiful display, can also be said to be the eternity of life. So the value of life lies not in life itself, but in dedication. As long as you make a contribution, whether it is a long-term unknown contribution or a short-lived brilliant light, such a life is eternal.

Ostrovsky once said: "A person's most precious thing is life, and life belongs to him only once. A man's life should be like this: when he looks back, he will not regret wasting his time, nor be ashamed of doing nothing, so that when he dies, he can say,' My life and all my energy have been devoted to the most magnificent thing in the world-fighting for the liberation of mankind.'

There are many people in our society, just like a stone bridge, who have made selfless contributions to the construction of the motherland in their ordinary posts. They don't cry roast meat, they often make contributions in obscurity, because they are real heroes. Perhaps you still remember the heroic battle of Song Gu Feng described in Who is the cutest person. Among those martyrs who fought the enemy with fire, there was a man named Li Yu 'an. However, we found that this "martyr" is still alive. After being rescued, he returned to his hometown in Heilongjiang and became an ordinary grain depot worker. At the same time, for decades, he has been conscientious and never revealed to others that he was afraid of the past. Until 1990, people knew that he was a hero on the Korean battlefield. Many people were puzzled and even regretted that he had not been treated as he deserved. Li Yu 'an gave up the generous treatment he could have received, and chose to be an ordinary worker, silently dedicating his life energy. As Einstein said, a person's value should be judged by his contribution, not by his achievements. Li Yu 'an, a hero in the Korean battlefield, has made long-term silent dedication, which fully embodies his life value.

Some people's lives are not long, but in their short lives, bright sparks shine and remain in people's memories forever. Isn't this also the immortal value of life? Nie Er, a famous modern composer in China, the author of March of the Volunteers and uncle Lei Feng, a great fighter, have only lived for more than 20 years, but who can forget their great spirit? Petofi, a great poet, has only gone through the road of life for more than twenty years. However, his poems were read by later generations. Isn't this the eternity of his life?

It can be seen that the value of life lies in dedication, or silently paying like a stone bridge for a long time, or showing the beauty of the present like a rainbow-as long as you are willing to pay, then life is precious, because everyone has only one time. Life is eternal, because it is brilliant with nation, justice, truth and ideal.

Dedication is the eternity of life, and dedication is the value of life.
