"Wildfire Collection" You must know how to be angry with an unfair society





Long Yingtai is one of my favorite female writers First The second time I read Long Yingtai's works was in my second year of high school The first book I read was "Wildfire Collection" The cover of Wildfire in the school library is not the revamped version pictured above Exactly the first edition of Wildfire. So yes That cover is tattered the back of the book is still 0.85 span>Books from that era of Yuan I came from somewhere in the library Found it very unremarkable I also forgot why I picked up that first edition of Wildfire but When I opened the book stood in front of the bookshelf and read its first foreword< span class="s1"> I feel my blood boiling all over Then it got out of hand From then on I fell in love with Du Long Yingtai's works As long as it is a work of Long Yingtai I will buy it (I may At that time, the worship of Long Yingtai was crazy. I almost stole the collector's edition of "Wildfire" from the school library Don't return it take it home and worship it I woke up later I realized I wanted to make it more visible Fortunately, I got rid of this bad idea in time)


"Wildfire Collection" is about Long Yingtai's response to Taiwan government departments in his early years society and civic dissatisfaction a cry for social responsibility I was most impressed by the three articles in the book "China, why are you not angry", "Mother who gave birth to syphilis", "Is it useless to be angry" After "Wildfire Collection", you will find that Long Yingtai truly loves her motherland she is brave< span class="s1"> She dares to say it Dare to be herself< /span> Resolutely express my views on society Slamming this corrupt society Awakening patriotism When the article "China, Why Are You Not Angry" was published It caused a huge response in the Taiwanese society at that time Countless student organizations and citizens scrambled to print this article to share with the society more Human transmission It can be said that she burned the entire Taiwan land like wildfire


Under the corruption and incompetence of the Taiwanese government the cowardice and weakness of most citizens span> Long Yingtai as a returnee from foreign countries < span class="s2">Her thoughts are filled with democratic justice patriotic Such a person with a sense of social responsibility How can she tolerate her favorite Our motherland is no longer democratic How can I tolerate the weakness of the people there So she is not reconciled she wants to awaken the people of Taiwan< /span> Resist this unfair and unequal society


So her articles are full of excitement and excitement full of Aggressive so readers are very vulnerable Actually, the earliest publication of Wildfire Collection was1985year Can Long Yingtai describe is80-90 People's lives and social problems in old Taiwan at that time After reading, you will find Long Yingtai's text tells about the messy and messy society The bad guys are domineering The general weakness and indifference of citizens is very similar to that of Chinese mainland society now or a few years ago It seems that mainland China is also going through the 80s The problems that Taiwan is going through so I realized span>Maybe the process of social development in each country is similar The same test they will all face At the same time, both as a society and as a citizen, they will reflect on themselves in the problem In order to change themselves< /span> Towards a better future


The last excerpt from my favorite "Chinese, Why Are You Not Angry" 


"Don't think you're a college professor. So doing research is more important; don't think you're a pig so no one will listen Don't think that you are a student and are not qualified to take care of social affairs. If you don't get angry today, if you don't speak up, tomorrow you will——And me, and you and my next generation. Become a silent victim, a victim! If you have the seed and conscience, you will tell your father nowServe legislators, tell DH, tell EPA: You're fed up, you're angry! 

You must speak out loud.

《野火集》你要懂得对不公的社会生气





龙应台是我最爱的女作家没有之一 第一次读龙应台的作品是在高二 读的第一本就是《野火集》 学校图书馆里的《野火集》的封面还不是上图的那个翻新修正版 完完全全就是《野火集》的第一版 所以是那种封面已经残破不堪 书后面的价格还是0.85元的那个时代的书籍 我是从图书馆里的某个角落发现它的 非常的不起眼 我也忘了我是为什么会拿起那本第一版的《野火集》 但是当我翻开这本书 就那样站在书架前读了它的第一篇前言 我感受到我全身都在热血沸腾 接着一发不可收拾 从此爱上了读龙应台的作品 只要是龙应台的作品 我都必买(我可能当时崇拜龙应台到了疯狂的地步 我差点想偷了学校图书馆的那本珍藏版《野火集》不还 拿回家供奉着 后来我清醒了 我意识到我要让更多人的看到它 幸好我还是及时打消了这个坏念头)


《野火集》是讲述龙应台对早年台湾政府部门 社会和公民的不满 是对社会责任感的一种呼唤一种呐喊 给我印象最深刻是书中的三篇文章《中国,你为什么不生气》、《生了梅毒的母亲》、《生气,没有用吗》读完《野火集》你会发现龙应台是真真正正爱她的祖国 她勇敢 她敢说 敢做自我 毅然发表自己对社会的看法 抨击这个充满腐败的社会 唤醒人们的爱国精神 当《中国,你为什么不生气》这一文发表后 在当时的台湾社会引起了巨大的反响 无数学生组织公民都争相打印这篇文章向社会更多的人传播 可以说她就如同野火一般燃烧了整个台湾大地


在当年台湾政府的腐败无能 大多公民的懦弱软弱下 龙应台作为一个从外国回祖国的海归 她的思想充满了民主正义 爱国 社会责任感的这样一个人 她怎么能容忍她最爱的祖国不再民主 怎么能容忍在那里的人们软弱可欺 所以她不甘心 她想唤起全台湾人民的觉醒 对这不公平不平等的社会发起抵抗


所以她的文章的字里行间里都是亢奋的激昂的 充满了攻击性 所以读者非常容易受到感染 其实《野火集》最早的出版时间是1985 可以龙应台描述的是80-90年代的旧台湾当时人们的生活和社会问题 读完你会发现 龙应台文中讲述的社会脏乱差 坏人横行霸道 公民普遍的软弱冷漠和现在或者说前几年的中国大陆社会非常的相像 似乎中国的大陆也在经历80年代中国台湾所在经历的这些的问题 所以我意识到 可能每个国家每个社会发展的进程都是有异曲同工之处的 他们都将面临的同等的考验 同时不管是社会还是公民他们都会在问题中反思自身 从而改变自己 迈向更好的未来


最后摘抄一段我最爱的《中国人,你为什么不生气》里面的段落 


不要以为你是大学教授。所以作研究比较重要;不要以为你是杀猪的,所以没有人会听你的话;也不要以为你是个学生,不够资格管社会的事。你今天不生气,不站出来说话,明天你——还有我、还有你我的下一代。就要成为沉默的牺牲者、受害人!如果你有种、有良心,你现在就去告诉你的公仆立法委员、告诉卫生署、告诉环保局:你受够了,你很生气! 

    你一定要很大声地说。
