When it comes to outstanding literary works of all time, one cannot overlook the novel "No Family." The work has received prestigious awards from the French Academy of Literature. "No Family" tells the story of Remy, a boy without a family, abandoned and taken in by another family. Remy is loved by his foster mother, Mrs. Barberin, until her husband's accident changes the course of his life.
I am an orphan...
I was born into a family lacking the protective hands of a father. I always wished for luck like other children, but life is not always generous, and there were times I truly fell before those sorrows. Then I found the book by Hector Marot and resonated with it. The book contains moments of both pain and happiness. Storms may come and steal everyone's happiness. The important thing is how we accept and face adversity, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary. For those who need and still need "motivation" to live, like Remi, the boy in the book.
"No Family" is a profoundly humane book. Each journey in Remi's life reflects the harshness of human destiny. Reading the book, one feels poignant seeing Remi and his joyful friends sharing a meager piece of bread, only to later face hunger. Through this book, we see the true cruelty of nature that humans cannot endure. From there, we become more grateful for what we have. The work also honors resilience, independence, and the ability to fight against adversity. Additionally, the author encourages and promotes genuine friendship by praising kindness, love for life, and the relentless will to improve oneself.
Put your emotions into the pages of books, confidently face life's challenges, and realize that the world needs love. Young people should never fear difficulties because, unless you are lost, it's hard to realize how afraid you are. Unless you are deceived, you might not recognize that you are in a vulnerable position. If not abandoned, you may find it hard to see his weakness and dependence. The book is a work of humanism conveying timeless spiritual values to readers. It serves as a guiding light for many souls to escape the darkness of life. Even those who already have a "family" need to think about how to live well and deserve the happiness that fate has given you.
If giving brings joy to life, sharing reduces suffering. Everyone, at some point, feels stuck in the mud of pain and despair. Nothing is more valuable than a strong arm to lean on, providing the courage to overcome. This hand may not be strong enough to pull us out of the swamp of misery, but it has eased some of the pain. That's why we always need each other in this life.
