My thoughts after reading "Everyone's Photo Album"

Some people and things can be forgotten, but some people and things cannot be forgotten no matter what. Just like the line on the cover of "Everybody's Photo Album", "Recovering the people and things that are important but forgotten in the history of Hubei." There is another line on the back cover of this book that reads, "View history from images, re-view photos from a historical perspective."

We cannot forget history, and we need to look back from time to time on the road we have traveled. History, or life, is full of too much forgetting and being forgotten, betrayal and being betrayed. Mistakes are repeated over and over again, and sometimes big mistakes are used to cover up small mistakes, so that in the end the mistakes are too big and no one can bear them.

So, we need records and black and white words to remind ourselves and people not to forget the past. Therefore, the publication of "Everyone's Photo Album", which is mainly in the form of interviews and photos, has unusual significance, and this significance will become more significant as time goes by.

Facing the people and events that began in 1900, what should we not forget? Like Mrs. Xianglin, I kept talking over and over again, talking about the Republic of China and the 1980s with my friends. Some friends said that there are too many rich people in China, but it is a pity that there are no aristocrats. China needs a true aristocratic spirit. He also explained that a true nobleman values ??national security and national interests above all else and honors the family by standing up in times of crisis.

The word "noble" does not seem to fit the national conditions. Inspired by "Everyone's Photo Album", it is more appropriate to say "everyone's spirit". When talking about "everyone", we always think of "master" and "family". There is a correlation between the two: masters born from common people can often create aristocratic families; and aristocratic families with a strong scholarly reputation can often produce masters. Of course, the foundation of "everyone" lies in independence, lofty ideals and feelings.

When reading "Everyone's Photo Album", I am always moved by the characters' courage to be the first, to manage the world and benefit the people, and to be truthful and pragmatic. In this book, high-ranking officials work hard for the people, are diligent and thrifty, and live like ordinary people; scientists, educators, and writers dare to tell the truth, are not afraid of authority, and ask for orders for the people. Why do we always feel that they are getting further and further away from us? Not because they died or grew old, but because the "everyone spirit" declined.

Some people say that China does not need so many masters. When I was arguing with the other party, I said something Yu Dafu said in memory of Lu Xun, "A nation without great figures is the most pitiful group of creatures in the world; if there are great figures, they don't know how to support, love and admire them." "This country is a slave country without hope." There are a few more sentences that I won't mention. I would like to ask, is Yu Dafu’s criticism outdated?

"Everyone's Photo Album" is a commemoration and call for "everyone's spirit". From 2007 to the present, Chutian Metropolis Daily's "Photo Album" edition has interviewed more than 300 humanities experts, and this time "Everyone's Photo Album" has selected 90 articles from them. Mr. Zhang Kaiyuan, a historian and old president of Central China Normal University, collects the sample newspaper of "Photo Album". He said, "Without science and technology, China will perish; but without humanities, China will perish!" Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and former president of Huazhong University of Science and Technology Mr. Yang Shuzi once wrote to the editorial office, "A society that lacks humanities and spiritual civilization is even more barbaric and terrifying than a society that lacks science and material civilization." This is the meaning of "Everyone's Photo Album", which can also be regarded as Chutian City An epitome of humanistic feelings.

Writing this, I must say that no matter how the media evolves, I believe that in the hearts of one, two or even several generations, Chutian Metropolis Daily is a granary, a monument and an immortal memory. . Technology is changing with each passing day, and newspapers as a carrier cannot avoid decline, just like paper replacing bamboo slips. However, the fairness and justice upheld by each piece of newsprint and the warmth and goodwill conveyed by each piece of newsprint will continue. As long as the watch is still there, all we need to explore is a new path. We have also walked such a difficult road before.

I don’t know how many traditional media and media people would publish such exquisite books as "Everyone's Photo Album" in such a situation. After all, not many people nowadays can read books quietly, let alone flip through books about old events that don’t use decryption as a gimmick. Some books can be read electronically, but some books really need to be held in hand and read slowly. As a person who loves books, I am very grateful to Mr. Liu Wofeng for compiling "Everyone's Photo Album". In my heart, she is a true reader and book recommender.

She presides over "Serial", "Reading", "Humanities Weekly", etc., and has been working hard for more than ten years, delivering good books one after another to millions of readers.

Seeing this, if you are a fan of Metropolis Daily, you will definitely ask, Teacher Liu Wafeng turns out to be a lady, not a gentleman? When I saw this super handsome name for the first time, I thought I could have a good time with "Brother Feng" without getting drunk! However, in my heart, the amiable and dedicated Sister Liu is erudite and knowledgeable. From this perspective, it is not wrong to call Mr. Liu Wofeng. Unfortunately, we are too busy at work and not in the same department, so we don’t communicate much. I hope I can chat with Sister Liu more in the future, although I am really worried that I won’t be able to pick up the conversation.

Let’s talk about the feeling of reading “Everyone’s Photo Album”. A true experience is that I can’t read enough. The font size of the subtitle of the article is not much different from that of the main title, and the publication date at the end of the article is always ignored by me, so that when I often feel that there is exciting content and want to read on, I find that it is the next article. It would be great if the article were longer and all the "interview transcripts" were published. Of course, this is an unreasonable request.

Time flies away quickly or slowly, and the New Year is gradually approaching. Picking up "Everyone's Photo Album" again, the yellow-toned cover seems to be even more yellowed, and the characters in the black and white photo in the middle seem to be alive.
