A Gentleman in Moscow - Reading Experience and Records

It's been a long time since I wrote an article. Let's have a reading experience for the first article in 2022.

Lost a KOBO e-book reader last year, greatly increasing the reading volume

Now that you have input, you must have output to become your own thing. Record your experience as a new habit this year.

The title of this book sounds a bit boring, it should be said that it is too far away, it is a gentleman and Moscow of Moscow, the only impression I have of this place name is
The song "No Tears in Moscow"... um, so old, and the story of my old classmate Ah Han is the closest thing to Russia.

But the recommended reviews are all very high, which makes me wonder what kind of novel is it?
As a result, I fell deeply into this city after reading it, and I can't wait to fly to the Metropolitan Hotel in Moscow to experience the scene at that time.

There are Lei below, I don't want to be suggested by Lei after reading the novel and then come back to watch the following content

Stay optimistic, there is always another chance

The story is mainly about an earl who was sentenced to life in the "Metropolitan Hotel" because of a poem after a political revolution. As long as he stepped out of the door of the hotel, he would be shot immediately.

It's the concept of being locked in a luxury prison, but of course it can't make you feel so comfortable. Living in a top room is an abandoned servant room (a utility room) that is directly moved to the top floor.
The earl is a humorous and elegant gentleman, who can always have fun for himself, but people he knows come and go. It is impossible to stay with the earl forever. Under the political rule of communism, many old habits are also forced to be banned. No matter how optimistic you are, people will despair, but a gentleman is a gentleman. Even when he dies, he has to wear a wine red dinner jacket very elegantly, put a gold coin for the funeral agency in his pocket, put a black suit on the bed, and proudly think that everything is so orderly. sequence.
Take out a Bordeaux glass and place it at the top of the chimney, open a bottle of excellent vintage, fill it up and raise a glass to the city, and drink "Goodbye to my motherland"
As the Count prepares for his Leap of Faith...
It was too late to say that the road to heaven was interrupted by an old roof repairman I knew earlier. The old repairman took the honey produced by the honeycomb on the roof and asked the earl to taste the honey. I was deeply moved. The earl tasted the taste of his hometown in this honey, and the food really had a heart-warming effect, so he thought of taking over the post of a waiter in a restaurant, which made this story so wonderful.

Sometimes we get stuck in our lives, and we feel like we are trapped. Just like the world is ravaged by the virus, we seem to be unable to do anything, and we can't go back to the habits of the past, etc...
But at this moment, it is better to calm down, rest and think, there will still be many ways to move forward

If a person cannot control his situation, he will be controlled by the situation

Try to take back control of yourself

The art of learning to let go

In this hotel, the earl got acquainted with two "daughters"
One is Nina, because her father was temporarily transferred to Moscow to work for ten months, so he only found a tutor to help her take classes in the hotel, which is another form of house arrest.

Nina has a quirky personality, and the tutor simply gave up discipline. After she met the Earl, the two of them dangled around the hotel all day long, and Nina didn't know where she got the hotel master key, always taking the Earl to the computer room and warehouse of some hotels. Wandering around or hiding on the small platform above the banquet hall to eavesdrop on government officials' meetings. Although I have torn my pants several times, I still enjoy it.

The happy time is always very fast. Nina grew up and began to specialize in her studies. She began to meet new friends and learn new knowledge. In response to the purge within the party, Nina entrusted her daughter Sofia to the Count, but she never returned, and the Count became Sofia's adoptive father.

And Sophia's personality is different from her mother Nina's quirky and eccentric, elegant and temperamental, but as smart as Nina, although she occasionally pranks, but Sophia is also very talented in music, so she was forced to recruit. If the National Orchestra joins, will it be under the supervision of the communist state for the rest of her life, hiding her in a hotel under house arrest?
Or do you want to run away with her? How to escape? Want to escape together? Or escape separately? To be separated because of this?
As a father, he made difficult choices

I am also a father myself, and seeing this, I also fell into deep thinking about whether I can support my children like this, learn to let go or hold on tight. The complex in the novel is a bit exaggerated. At most, the choice is what he is more interested in, or if he says that he wants to paint, he may have to hold back and not tell him things like "painting in Taiwan will starve to death", but he must analyze the advantages and disadvantages just right and let him go by himself. His road is the homework of becoming a parent, too much or too little will not work

In general, this book is very fun to read, and the words are very beautiful. It feels very comfortable to dance a waltz. I read it before going to bed. If you are unfamiliar and do not understand the problem, this does not affect

However, the small disadvantage is that it is difficult to remember the long names of people, you have to get used to it.
