《A Long Walk to Freedom》读后感(一)：老男人的自白

初读第一章，给人一种“狱中悲怆老男人分裂修饰文”。关于其儿时的描述大多建立在当时的思想的解读，而并非儿时的真正的想法。很少有人能记得儿时对某件事情的真实想法。大多是依照现在的思想和观念来再分析当时情景。但由于深处狱中，可以说自己的事业不知何时能完成的悲怆，造就了这一切。充实但让正常人难以取理解的，又或轻微虚伪的的论调。

《A Long Walk to Freedom》读后感(二)：伟大的灵魂一定是强大的

他在牢里辗转反复地关了27年，在这27年里，他曾经被与世隔绝关到小黑屋里面，曾经年复一年地每天连蔬菜都吃不到，曾经二十多年没有碰过他的妻子，没有见过他的孩子，没能参加他母亲的丧礼，没能参加他儿子的丧礼，但是27年出来之后那份信念依然存在。换成其他人，估计99%的人的意志都被磨平了。只要意志不被打败，只要信念不被放弃，就会有希望。这是我从这本自传里面看到的最闪光的东西。

摘抄几句值得回味的话：

If wealth is a magnet, poverty is a kind of repellent.

All men, even the most seemingly cold-blooded, have a core of decency, and that if their heart is touched, they are capable of changing.

People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.

Man's goodness is a flame that can be hidden but never extinguished.

《A Long Walk to Freedom》读后感(三)：Encounter Nelson Mandela

As a newly reader of original English editions, I might find it so hard to continually read an 878-page and calming autobiography about a politician, if it is not about Nelson Mandela, a living legend(Please pay attention to ”living”. He is 95 years old. Many think he has gone). I spent 3 months reading. And Long Walk to Freedom was my favorite waste of time. It was mentioned his life, especially countless fights, mild or aggressive, small or huge, anti-violent or violent, individual or joint, in-jail or out-of-jail.

I can still remember when I was in my senior high school there was a passage about him-Elias’ story.

“The last thirty years have seen the greatest number of laws stopping our rights and progress, until today we have reached a stage where we have almost no rights at all.”-quoted from Elias’ story. This declaration labeled that Mandela strategized to answer violence with violence to fight against apartheid.

It planted a seed-the image of a freedom fighter, in the back of my heart. From the day I learned this passage to the day I bought this book, the name Nelson Mandela had struck me a few times-when I watched 2012 World Cup, when I listened to Beyond’s song, when I got the quote from Mandela in UN’s microblog (Chinese twitter) on World Press Freedom Day. It seemed like that his mysterious power has been around my life, which made me think of how come a man, who had been in prison for 27 years, still stays optimistic and kind to his enemies？

It is a huge challenge for a 27-year politician prisoner to forgive his enemies. First, you should have a clear picture of how prison life is.

“Prison not only robs you of your freedom. It attempted to take away your identity. Everyone wears the same uniform, eats the same food, follow the same schedule. ”

“Prison is a kind of crucible that tested a man’s character.”

“Every hour seemed like a year.”

Do suffering outdoor construction work in the eye-burnt sun without any eye protection. Humid cells damage your body. Hardly get any information from your family for visits can easily be blocked by prison governors or someone else in upper level. The ｓｃｒｉｐｔ of this book was secretly written on scattered paper difficultly collected. It was a long story.

I figured it out later-that’s the power of faith that supports his forgiveness, the faith to abolish apartheid and build up a democratic and united rainbow nation in South Africa. To achieve this goal, a man is supposed to drop his anger and vintage towards his enemies and try hard softening their hearts.

In the last paragraph of Chapter 94 on page 744, it says “In fact, when one of the guards attempted to prevent some of the nurses from entering my room, I jestingly accused him of being jealous of an old man receiving so much attention from such beautiful young ladies.” At that time, Mandela was in a clinic after his operation for his lung water in Cape Town. Nurses in the clinic cordially invited him to their party, however, the prison authorities refused to the permission for him to go. Feeling sorry about this, the nurses held the party in Mandela’s room, which went under the guards’ eyes.

Six chapters later, I had read about the release of Mandela, which brought tears to my eyes. Finally, finally, for so many effortless tries from your own self and your supporters, you were set free, in 1990. He described the big release scene according to the bit-by-bit shortened distance to the prison gate-clicking cameras, yelling supporters, shouting reporters, tremendous commotion. Actually, it was a huge scene that was beyond his expectation.

It’s not the end of the story. After his release, he bent his back on negotiation with government. This takes a couple of chapters, although they are not as appealing as former ones.

His current life journey can light up every one’s life. Why not list it on your “must-read” paper？ Whatever setbacks you have encountered, read to comfort yourself. A hot potato soon turns into a tiny pain. For example,

you are so far away from home？

“The air of one’s home always smells sweet after one has been away.”

Complain about your living conditions？ Read Long Walk to Freedom.

“Prison not only robs you of your freedom. It attempted to take away your identity. Everyone wears the same uniform, eats the same food, follow the same schedule. ”

It might fail to be your pain killer. If it is the case, find your own pain killer. Read his/her autobiography or what. Believe it or not, it is a good way to draw courage rather than gain it from your own self, especially you are weak-minded.

In the film Invictus, Mandela read the poem below in Robben Island (a terrible prison) and drawn energy from it. Share with you.

Invitus By William Ernest Henley

Out of the night that covers me

Black as the pit from pole to pole

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud

Under the bludgeoning’s of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed

Beyond this place of wrath and tear

Looms but the Horror of the shade

And yet the menace of the years

Finds, and shall find, me unafraid

It matters not how strait the gate

How charged with punishments the scroll

I am the master of my fate

I am the captain of my soul

PS: 人生的光辉不在于永不坠落，而在于坠落之后总能再度升起。It was said that this sentence is quoted from A Long Walk to Freedom, however, I just failed to find it during my reading. Would anybody be so kind to point it out for me？ Thanks a million.
