De bon matin
1961On the morning of July 2, there was a sudden bang at Hemingway's home in ketchum, Idaho, USA! Hey! "Two shots were fired. What happened?
It turned out to be Sunday, and it was just dawn, and the soft morning light flashed into the house through the window. Hemingway, a world famous writer, woke up early as usual. He put on a red pajamas-he usually calls it "the dragon robe of the Eastern Emperor"-and walked slowly down the carpeted stairs. He noticed that the gun was locked in the basement, but he knew that the key was on the windowsill above the kitchen sink.
He picked up the key, quietly walked down the stairs in the basement, opened the door of the storage room, selected his favorite double-barreled shotgun with silver, took out some bullets, and then returned to a small room next to the living room. He loaded two bullets into the gun chamber, carefully put the handle on the ground, leaned forward, put the muzzle of the double tube in his mouth, and then pulled the trigger decisively to both sides. ...
The gunfire shook the whole house. Hemingway's wife Mary immediately ran downstairs and came to the door of the hut next to the living room. She stopped, stunned. The scene inside is incredible: Hemingway's head is almost gone, only his body is still bleeding, and the walls and the ground are covered with blood.
Mary was heartbroken and burst into tears. She regretted that she didn't hide the key, so that Hemingway, who had tried to commit suicide many times in recent years, got the gun. After a little calmness, she called the police and the forensic doctor. The news spread like this, and the whole house was soon crowded with people. ...
The next day, the newsboys shouted in the street, and the headline of every newspaper was printed with the title: "Hemingway committed suicide!" " ""Hemingway is dead! " "The death knell for Hemingway! " ……
People are puzzled: why did such a successful man, who was famous for his courage and strength all his life, finally commit suicide?
In fact, Hemingway suffered from many diseases after he entered old age: hepatitis, nephritis, hypertension, skin diseases ... but he has been stubbornly fighting against the disease. It was not until he found out that he had amnesia, was slowly losing his memory, had lost his writing ability, and had no meaning to others and himself that he was "disenchanted".
196 1 year 1 month, Hemingway received a telegram from the newly elected American President Kennedy, inviting him and Mary to attend the inauguration ceremony.
"Hey, Mary, this makes me so happy!" Hemingway said excitedly with a telegram.
"However, you are really in poor health recently, so don't go!" Mary said with concern.
"It doesn't matter! I'm going to send him a book with a letter. "
"That would be the best."
But it was such a simple social letter that Hemingway was busy all day and finally didn't write it. He felt so tired that he couldn't remember the sentences he used to know very well. He found that he had gradually lost his writing ability.
He regards writing as his life, but now he has lost his writing ability and his illness is still weakening. He has experienced many bullets in his life, and he is not afraid of death. What he is afraid of is that he can't live a meaningful and glorious life and can't create excellent works again. Therefore, Hemingway bravely chose self-liberation.
Little genius
Hemingway, a famous writer full of legendary experiences, was born in Oak Park, Chicago, USA on July 2 1999. Because he is the first boy (the second child) in the family, the whole family is beaming after he was born. His mother wrote: "Robins sing the sweetest songs and welcome this little stranger to this beautiful world."
When Hemingway was less than one year old, he liked to read an album called Birds in Nature. Every month when the album arrives, he holds it alone. By the time he was one and a half years old, he could correctly identify 73 kinds of birds, which surprised his mother and others.
When he was over one year old, he began to show his talent for expressing all kinds of things in words. He described the spots left on the skin by vaccinia as "broken flowers and broken bones". After he saw an owl in the tree across the street, he described the scar on his toe as "owl's eyes". The song "Ah, Lake Warren in the Moonlight" written by my mother was mischievously changed by him to "Ah, the old baboon in the Moonlight".
Hemingway was a strong-willed child who was fearless since he was a child. His ambition is to be treated as a man and a gentleman.
Once, his mother asked him, "Ernie (Hemingway's nickname), what are you most afraid of?"
