Great Expectations

One month before I joined Shanghai Mobile, I had the honor to read the novel Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. When I first came into contact with this novel, I was simply attracted by the title. After all, for a newcomer who is about to enter the workplace, the future career planning is somewhat expected and confused. However, after I savored the novel carefully, I was gradually deeply attracted by its content. After reading the whole novel, it also inspired some of my feelings and expectations for future career planning. The whole novel is mainly divided into three parts: The first part tells the story of Pip's childhood as an apprentice blacksmith. I met a fugitive during a visit to my mother and saved the fugitive under threat. Then Pip was invited to play in the rich and strange Miss Havisham's home. In many times of getting along, he developed some love for the beautiful but indifferent Estella. One day, Pip received a grant from an anonymous person-to receive an upper-class education in London. The second part of the story describes that Pip did not become the upper-class person he expected after receiving the "upper-class" education in London. On the contrary, because of living a luxurious and degenerate life, the truth, goodness and beauty that I once had gradually disappeared. Subsequently, the sudden appearance of his anonymous "benefactor" made him change his real life. In the last part of the novel, it is described that Pip, after protecting the exiled "benefactor" who fled back to China, gradually found the truth, goodness and beauty that had been lost, and at the same time realized the importance of family and friendship. The main story line of this book also expounds a simple and profound philosophical truth. Different environments will have different effects on people, which will subtly create everyone's changing personality and behavior. Pip, the hero, from the simple blacksmith apprentice to the extravagant and degenerate "superior social man", is caused by the change of the surrounding environment, and the change of his identity is a microcosm of his personality. At the same time, Pip's indifference and aversion to Joe from the worship and love before to the back is also caused by his changing living environment. It can be seen that people's hearts are easily influenced by the secular world and change. From novels to reality, it is not difficult to find that in this society with material development as the center, it is a precious thing not to go with the flow and keep a true heart.
