Reflections on Churchill's Biography
Random thoughts on Churchill's biography 1 Churchill was born into a famous aristocratic family. His ancestor Eva Dukedom of Marlborough was a famous military commander in British history and a man of the hour during the reign of Queen Anne. His father Randolph was an outstanding British politician at the end of 19 century, and he was the finance minister of Salisbury cabinet.
Family glory and political tradition had a great influence on Churchill's voice. Instead of providing him with an example to learn from and setting a goal for him, it became a powerful driving force for his tireless self-pursuit and achievement throughout his life.
Churchill never went to college. His grades in junior high school and senior high school are poor, but his achievements in history and English are outstanding, especially his amazing memory is impressive. Nevertheless, he is often at the bottom. Later, due to his mysterious family background, he was able to enter an aristocratic school and finally joined the military academy as a cavalry.
But Churchill was knowledgeable and gifted in public speaking, which was obtained through hard self-study. He frantically uses his spare time to study. He drew rich ideological nutrition from the works of thinkers, philosophers and historians such as Plato, Gibbon, Macaulay, Schopenhauer, Malthus and Darwin, which made his thoughts profound, wise and firm in life.
It can be said that Churchill's starting point is very similar to most of us, even not as good as many of us, but on the contrary, he is more brilliant than most of us and has reached a daunting realm. Looking back on Kong Rong's childhood quips, the story of "hours are not necessarily good" is surprisingly correct, and the tragedy of Fang Zhongyong's ignorance is even worse. They were so smart when they were young, which definitely left Churchill behind and sighed.
Reflections on Churchill's Biography 2 Churchill's Biography truly describes the life story of the famous British Prime Minister Churchill.
Churchill was born into a prominent aristocratic family. His ancestor, Dukedom of Marlborough, was a famous military commander in British history and an important figure in British politics during the reign of Queen Anne. His father, Lord Randolph, was an outstanding British politician at the end of the last century and served as the finance minister of Salisbury Cabinet. The great achievements of ancestors, the political achievements of fathers, the glory of families and political traditions undoubtedly had a great influence on Churchill's life and played a key role in his growth into a famous generation in Britain. They provided an example for Churchill to learn from, set goals, cultivated his sense of historical responsibility for the motherland, and became a powerful driving force for Churchill's tireless pursuit and achievement throughout his life.
Churchill stuttered when he was a child. When he was 3 years old, it was hard to say "mom" and "dad". In his early years, with the help of his nanny, he overcame the difficulty of stuttering and laid a solid foundation for his future political road. Difficulties did not knock Churchill down, but created a great orator.
In high school, he was a poor student at Harrow Middle School, so he went to Sandhurst Army College. In Sun Shan, he failed the exam twice. The third time, he finally got in and entered his favorite school. But he missed the infantry class and was assigned to the worst cavalry class.
In the military life, he constantly supplemented his knowledge, and his knowledge was increasingly rich, which was superior to others in many aspects, which created the necessary conditions for his future road. After the end of military school life, the poor students in Harrow School turned out to be the eighth among the 58 students in Sandhurst Army College/KLOC-0.
During his tenure as British Prime Minister. In Britain after World War I, pacifism prevailed, the army was slack and the equipment was outdated, and the whole country was in a state of "singing and dancing". For Nazi Germany across the sea, then British Prime Minister Chamberlain pursued a policy of appeasement. When the Nazis annexed the Czech Republic, Chamberlain actually exchanged the interests of other countries for personal peace. After Churchill came to power, he faced great challenges. Across the sea, Nazi Germany occupied almost the whole of Europe and was eager to try the British Isles. Churchill used his tireless energy to lead the British people to resist foreign aggression until the dawn of victory.
Reflections on Churchill's Biography 3 I still read Churchill's Biography every day these two days, sometimes 10 pages, sometimes dozens of pages, which I think is wonderful. Churchill's life was an open one, although he was ugly and fat. However, at the age of 3 1, he was already the undersecretary of British colonial affairs, equivalent to the undersecretary of state. I'm only 3 1 year old. At the age of 33, I was already a cabinet minister. People around us are powerful people, such as Prime Minister Asquith, Lloyd George, who will become British Prime Minister in the future. He basically spends two months traveling around the world every year. This life is really enviable!
However, he was born into a noble family, his father was a minister, and he almost became the British Prime Minister. He used to be a very popular person. But he was in poor health and died of syphilis at the age of 46. Churchill received the best education in Britain when he was young-for example, Sandhurst Military Academy, also known as the United States West Point Military Academy, where Churchill studied cavalry and other military knowledge. He loved adventure and personally participated in three wars, the Indian subcontinent war and two African continent wars. In short, this man was born well, worked hard, was talented and had management skills, so he became famous at a young age.
What we should learn from him is that he is versatile, likes reading and reading widely; On the other hand, in our present era, there are very few people who love reading. Most of them are playing Tik Tok, the glory of the king, eating chicken, Weibo, WeChat, etc. I think we have really become a cultured country, because we spend more time on books! Only in this way can the Chinese nation stand among the world powers!
Second, Churchill was compassionate and human. On one occasion, he watched a play "Justice" in the theater, which described the charges against prisoners who were held in solitary confinement. Churchill was very moved after reading it. He also agrees that the time spent in solitary confinement should be reduced unless the prisoner commits a serious crime. Later, as expected, a decree was promulgated to reduce the time of solitary confinement. The Director of Justice wrote a letter to Churchill's sister, praising Churchill's "great compassion and humanized policy".
This reminds me of a sentence: great men are great because they have great respect for humble people.
Churchill's first half of his life was wonderful and enviable. He was a cabinet minister in his thirties. He spends two months traveling every year, either to Constantinople for a holiday or to go fishing in Wales with Lloyd George. Have a bad time.
I haven't finished reading the book, so I'll share it here for the time being. Please stay tuned. Thank you.
Reflections on Churchill's Biography 4 Churchill's Biography is the second biography I have ever read, and the first one is Jobs' Biography. Winston Churchill was a politician, painter, speaker, writer and journalist. 1953 was awarded the title of Nobel Prize in Literature and twice became the British Prime Minister. He is regarded as one of the most important political leaders in the 20th century and led Britain to win the Second World War. Martin Gilbert, the author of this book, is one of Churchill's assistants. Since the publication of 1988, this book has been recognized as the official biography of Churchill. Former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher praised this biography as "one of the greatest historical records of our time".
Martin Gilbert vividly described Churchill's life for us and discussed the story behind the most intense and attractive political events of our time. Churchill's biography highlights Churchill's achievements during World War II. In the darkest moment of Britain, Churchill showed unparalleled courage and led Britain out of the darkness. Some people say that "to understand the Second World War, you must understand Winston Churchill".
After reading this book, I have a deeper understanding of Churchill. Before, I only knew that he was a former British prime minister. It seems very powerful, but I don't know where it is. Through this book, I know that he loves painting and reads widely. He also wrote his own war hero novels, political comments and battlefield reports for newspapers, because his literary attainments finally won the Nobel Prize in Literature. This book is a book with illustrations. Churchill had a cigar in his mouth, a firm expression and a cold chin, which was impressive, especially his favorite scissorhands posture. Really domineering and cute! What shocked me most was his great courage, unyielding will and strategic courage. Churchill was far-sighted and insisted on his own views, which impressed him most. The defeated German Empire rose continuously after World War I, and Nazism came to power. Hitler fully demonstrated his aggressive ambition and planned to break out World War II. However, only Churchill ran ahead to nip in the bud, and other cabinet ministers and members laughed at him and even satirized him as a war fanatic. But Churchill never compromised and insisted on himself. Facts have proved that his prediction about Hitler's intention to provoke the Second World War is correct.
To tell the truth, this book is very boring from the beginning, which makes people feel that it is a strict list of historical facts, and few authors have their own opinions. I have always believed that biographies should fully describe and analyze the personality, psychology, changes in growth environment and things behind various behaviors that are difficult to accurately judge. Instead of strictly listing historical facts like general history books, especially history textbooks. You know, a legendary politician like Churchill has a lot to explore in his life. Although there are 1000 Hamlets for 1000 readers, Shakespeare's writing techniques and expressions are far from biographies. If we simply list historical facts, Churchill's sense of legend will be dim. Moreover, the historical narrative about Churchill before World War II is very lengthy, while the historical narrative about Churchill's second term as prime minister after World War II is very few, and it is only written in the last three chapters, which makes people feel a little sorry.
After reading Churchill's biography, I remember that Churchill was a former British prime minister and politician, but after reading Churchill's biography, I understand that Churchill was also an outstanding historian, painter, speaker, writer and journalist, and also led Britain to victory in World War II. He was one of the greatest Britons ever.
Churchill used to be a mischievous bad student, an inferior student with serious partiality, and never went to college. He is a cavalry lieutenant, an army reporter and an intelligence officer. After entering politics, he jumped from Conservative Party to Liberal Party, then from Liberal Party to Conservative Party, from Home Secretary to Minister Ren Haijun, and then to British Prime Minister. He was defeated in the Battle of the Daniil Strait and forced to leave his post, but it seems that he has always had extraordinary tenacity in his beliefs.
Churchill failed to run for the prime minister several times, but he was not discouraged. He still met the new challenge with great energy and finally succeeded. He once said, "I want to do something, and I will succeed." He is not only strong-willed, but also very generous to others, and can forgive others' mistakes, including those who have opposed him. Openness and generosity helped him get rid of many troubles. After the end of World War II, the wartime cabinet must also be dissolved. Churchill resigned on May 23rd, and the general election will be held on July 5th. Churchill, who was full of confidence and thought that he could be elected prime minister with his contribution in the war, was defeated in the general election. He later quoted Plutarch as saying: "ungrateful to their great men is the sign of a great nation." Its generosity can be seen.
At the beginning of World War II, the situation was very unfavorable to Britain, especially France was invaded only five weeks later, and the crazy air raid from Germany made the British people live in dire straits. At this time, a political strongman stood up-Churchill. He constantly inspired the desperate British people with exciting speeches, indomitable tenacity and indomitable fighting will. At the critical moment of World War II, in the face of the fascist frenzy, he repeatedly vowed to fight to the end and finally led the British people to victory.
Churchill, a legend, strong-willed and magnanimous, is an important anti-fascist hero and an example worthy of our study.
