"Beautiful friend" is the second novel written by Maupassant in 1885. This is a direct and politically strong work. The article passes through the son of a country pub boss - Du Luohua. From a poor railway clerk to the top character of the

illiant Tengda, Du Luohua de Kangtai. This is a dramatic change. This incredible change is done by some women. It is these womens derailment that makes it easier for Du Luohua to go to the upper class. They are hurting one by one, but unable to speak. Any of his mistresses and wives is nothing more than a push and a ladder to his goal.

The hero, Dulova, is beautiful and shrewd, but also greedy and insidious. He lives in the bottom of society, by chance, the shabby small railway staff work in a newspaper in Fores Siti E under the help of friends. He relies on his own appearance to win peoples favor, especially the use of a variety of sordid means, gradually to climb, became the press Paris reds, he finally took office the bosss daughter, the boss forced to marry his daughter, he became the editor of the newspaper.

I feel a lot like him, for example, born in a rich familys children, home in bankruptcy, used to eat outside restaurants even eat table delicacies from land and sea, feel bitter, obsessed with the feast, and poor children after a month a meal of meat than how ah? Happiness and satisfaction are produced by comparison, but in relatively good time often do not feel the bad bad, you lose confidence, and even self-esteem. I dont know what is down-to-earth, I want to be good at things, and never face reality. Actually, these are all vanity. Like Duarte, I disguise myself with my own beauty and experience. In poor, he met his old friend in the cavalry when it has been done, "the French newspaper columnist and political life" the forestier. Forestier changed his fate, led him into an even he did not know how to suit their own industry, so he became a reporter. And very smart in a suitable time for him to give up his place, even though he was a little reluctant, but he left, neglected and conniving with end to his life, also let originally belong to his all, including his property and his wife belonged to Duarte. May I despise Duarte, may have to say he is lucky, his lucky that he knew "everything is nothing more than the pursuit of fame, egoistic egoistic, pursuit of wealth than egoistic pursuit of woman, the pursuit of love and a cut above others." Duarte saw through the world and did not want to hide his pursuit. In the end, he did it. The cunning, sinister, clever but little and very persistent finally achieved his ideal -- even though it is not ideal in the sun seems upright gentlemen! I thought of Confuciuss words: successful Chengren, Duarte apparently reached the goal, he succeeded but did not die.

Speaking is an art of art. It requires me to keep exercising, but everything has a yardstick. Once it is over, it is mean. We can pursue a good life, but we cannot lose ourselves. In life I hate blandishments people, exaggerated praise they make people feel sick, but praise appropriate and witty but can let person mind and achieve the desired results, I envy those witty, I am willing to get along with such a class of people, and I will try to improve myself.

Maupassant wants to give the world the truth and nihility, selfishness and reality, the supremacy of money and fame in the upper class France, full of satire and attack. The title, the merit, the money, the right is the goal of the upper class, and the woman is just the thing in their hands. In such a world, only adventure, only bold, only opportunistic and unscrupulous is the way of survival.
