I have read "For You, Thousands of Times" "The Kite Runner", I have read the novel recommended masterpiece "Island", and I have read Higashino Keigo's touching work about the murderer brother and brother "The Letter"... In fact, I have read many novels that are very touching and shocking to the soul. There are not many novels that make me cry, and "The Shawshank Redemption" is one of them.

The most tear-jerking novel for me is probably "The Shawshank Redemption". Reading it made me shed tears, and reading it aroused my sad emotions. Banker Andy was designated by the court as the murderer of his wife (he was framed and the murderer was someone else) and was sentenced to life imprisonment. He was destined to spend the rest of his life in Shawshank Prison. It can be said that he was ruined for the rest of his life, spending his whole life in a prison with high walls, no freedom, and no hope. But Andy never gave up hope. He believed that hope is a beautiful thing and the most beautiful thing. Beautiful things will never die. He used his talent as a banker in his old profession to help prison officers calculate taxes, keep accounts and make false accounts, while at the same time preparing his identity and wealth for his departure. Andy's wish was to live by the sea, and he did.

This can be said to be a very inspiring story. The novel also intersperses the stories of several prison characters, which is also very touching. A prisoner who has lived in prison for decades has transformed from a young boy into an old man with limited mobility. But getting out of prison becomes his nightmare. The passage of time and the transformation of the environment are a frightening fact. The outside world is no longer something that an old man who can live for only a few years can adapt to. All his friends and warmth have been left in Shawshank Prison, and he cannot return. If you go, you can only choose death.
