Has Ba Jin's life blossomed? Tell me about it.

Reflections on reading letters to children in hometown

Ba Jin, a resounding name. Today, I was lucky enough to read his "A Letter to Children at Home". This letter mainly describes Grandpa Ba Jin's views on life and expectations for children in his hometown. After reading it, I was filled with emotion.

Although Grandpa Ba Jin is a world-renowned great writer and has written many excellent works handed down from generation to generation, he has no celebrity airs at all. Instead, I said that I just lived an honest and ordinary life. I admire his modesty.

In fact, there are many people who are as modest as Grandpa Ba Jin. Deng Yaping, a famous table tennis player in China, is such a person. She started playing table tennis at the age of 6, and won several Asian and world championships, and was rated as the top table tennis player in the world. Facing the gold medal and praise from others, she said: "Everything will always start from scratch. I must constantly innovate in technology and strive to let my opponent see a new Deng Yaping next time. " Imagine how Deng Yaping could have achieved fruitful results without the spirit of never being complacent like Grandpa Ba Jin.

On the contrary, complacency is the enemy of progress. Like a pest, it can devour the whole fruit of success. Many people fail because of pride. I also had this experience: at the last sports meeting, I signed up for the men's long jump. In the preliminaries, I entered the finals with the first place in the preliminaries because of my excellent performance. I was a little carried away with excitement, and it was this pride that made me miss the championship. To this day, I still remember the failure clearly. It made me understand: when winning, we should guard against pride, because pride will make us lose sight of our own shortcomings, listen to other people's advice and lose the motivation to move on.

Grandpa Ba Jin's letter benefited me a lot. This makes me understand: in the face of achievements and victories, we should remain modest. We should take achievements and victories as the starting point and ladder of progress and make persistent efforts. Only in this way can we create brilliance like Grandpa Ba Jin!
