be Jane Eyre

The first time I read "Jane Eyre" was when I was 13 years old. That summer, Shanghai Translation was published, my mother's book. The bleak castle, the unique Jane Eyre, and the British atmosphere are all blowing. I took serious notes, especially like Helen's prayer before she died and the cousin's story about ginger candy.

Helen's faith also became my teenage enlightenment.

After watching the 1943 version, the protagonist's face is exactly the same as I imagined when I was a child. Black and white, powerful, strong. Unlike this version, the heroine is too beautiful.

I remember what the translator of the book said in the preface. In the works of the 19th century, only Charlotte Bronte was willing to break away from the stereotypes of the upper class to describe the story of an ordinary-looking woman who came from a poor family.
I understand the resonance of the 13-year-old that I reflected from the works, yearning for freedom, equal love, and the courage to be strong in life.

More than ten years later, I firmly believe in the path that my beliefs have guided me.
I also believe that faith can lead me to continue on the road in the future.

She is so important.

Amen.

    The male and female protagonists are very discordant but the scenery is beautiful like Mrs. Fairfax

    I especially like this version, the point of memory is very good, and it has new ideas. The heroes and heroines are good, especially the emotions and expressions of the heroine are too in place and Jane Eyre. There is often Jane Eyre in the world and Mr. Luo does not often have it. The world owes too much to Mr. Luo
