对我影响最深的一本书是《围城》。这本书以幽默的手法描绘了20世纪上半叶中国知识分子生活的种种笑话和悲剧，尤其是在国家和社会的大背景下，寻找个人自由和信仰的迷局十分引人深思。读完这本书，我不禁感叹：原来认真生活的道理竟如此简单，但为何我们总是选择或被迫走向反方向呢？如老舍所说，是因为我们身不由己，难挣脱出这样一片“看似明亮其实昏暗”的天空吗？
通过《围城》，我也认识到小说艺术的魅力与价值。小说作为一种高度虚构化的文学体裁，可以通过塑造情节、人物以及语言的错落有致，让人获得更加深刻的阅读体验，并能够更好地反思并揭露社会中的问题和矛盾。
如果说《围城》是窥见人性皮毛的力作，那么它也一定是探讨社会现实的重要之作，给人们带来了思想上的启示和精神上的满足。这本书让我看到了人们对美好生活的追求和探索，也更加强化了我相信自己，并努力前行的决心。

The book that has had the deepest impact on me is "Fortress Besieged". This book humorously depicts the various jokes and tragedies of the lives of Chinese intellectuals in the first half of the 20th century, especially the puzzle of seeking personal freedom and beliefs under the national and social background. After reading this book, I couldn't help but sigh: it turned out that the truth of living a serious life was so simple, but why do we always choose or be forced to go in the opposite direction? As Lao She said, is it because we are helpless and unable to break free from this "seemingly bright but actually dim" sky?
Through "Fortress Besieged", I also realized the charm and value of the novel as an art form. As a highly fictional literary genre, the novel can shape its plot, characters, and language in a well-structured way to provide readers with a deeper reading experience and better reflect on and expose problems and contradictions in society.
If "Fortress Besieged" is a masterpiece that reveals the skin of human nature, then it must also be an important work that explores social reality, bringing people intellectual enlightenment and spiritual satisfaction. This book has shown me the pursuit and exploration of a better life and strengthened my determination to believe in myself and strive forward.
