"The Second Burning Incense" is Zhang Ailing's famous work, which also tells a sad story.
The story takes place in Hong Kong, a pair of exotic lovers because of "sexual ignorance" to achieve a ridiculous marriage, the hero was put on the hat of "pornography" by everyone, and finally ended his life because of the pressure to open the gas.
Roger Ann Baldon is a forty-year-old university professor who works as a science director and house supervisor at South China University. He earns 1,800 Hong Kong dollars a month, the school provides housing, although there is no future, but he can maintain a stable and calm life.
But in his bones he longed for a romantic marriage, and he fell in love with a twenty-one-year-old blonde girl, and the two were about to enter the palace of marriage. However, he did not expect that the supposedly happy wedding night would become a nightmare door from which he could not escape.
Widowed in her early years, Mrs. Michel was alone to support her three daughters and was unable to take them back to China. After her eldest daughter was divorced, she took her children and moved to Hong Kong to settle down.
She disciplined her daughters so strictly that even the newspapers they read had to be checked by her beforehand. For a man like Roger, who has no good future, he is not the best son-in-law candidate. However, their family's situation is special, and there are not many ideal son-in-law candidates, so Roger and Xiao Xiao are allowed to associate.
A few hours before the wedding, Roger was very eager to see Xiao Xie, and when he arrived at Xiao Xi's house, he saw mrs. Michel and her daughters abnormal, and they were crying in pain.
The delicate eldest sister Jing Lisheng whimpered and begged Roger to be careful! He also told him that he was worried about his delicate marriage, and he was afraid that he would encounter the same thing as himself.
Mrs. Miqiu'er cried again, her husband died, the child suffered with her, and the eldest daughter also encountered a "scumbag", and she could not raise her head and be a person in the second half of her life.
Roger's mood was disturbed by the abnormal words and deeds of the mother and daughter, and even felt that the marriage was suffocating and disgusting. At this time, he began to wonder whether he and Xiao Xie were suitable for marriage.
But the wedding took place as usual, and after the wedding ceremony was completed, Roger took advantage of the time to ask Xiao Xiao, "Why do you like me?" Do you like me to the point of marrying me? ”
Shyly avoiding answering, he blew a breath into Roger's eyes and kissed him. But on the wedding night, Roger wants to do the conjugal affairs with Xiao Xiao, but he scares away Xiao Xiao. She considers her husband's needs to be "perverted".
Roger was alone in the dormitory, looking at the picture like a white lotus flower, and suddenly understood that Jing Lisheng's husband was also an ordinary person, exactly like him.
She ran to the student dormitory for help, and the students recognized the poor girl as Mrs. Amberton, who had just married today.
"I beg you not to ask me... I beg you! But you promised me not to go to him. I didn't want to see him; I couldn't stand it. He's a beast. ”
The students began to talk, and all kinds of harsh words came out.
"The more morally upright people are, the more unruly their private lives are." I had long felt that Ann Bai Deng was too disciplined, and I was afraid that a perverted psychology would occur. ”
"This kind of person is also worthy of being our professor and our housemaster!"
Under the protection of her classmates, she found the president of the university, but she was unexpectedly perfunctorily passed by and advised her to go home.
Reluctantly, he went to the Dean of Education, Maorishi. Maorith and Roger had a holiday at work, and this time they took the opportunity to make a big deal out of him.
After Michelle took Herself home, she not only did not rest, but took her daughter everywhere to visit friends, especially Roger's colleagues.
Roger was still in the dark about all this, and he never expected that the troubles he encountered in his new marriage would become the target of public criticism overnight. He also fantasized about being able to slowly make up for the lack of family education since he was a child, and under the mysterious moonlight of a foreign country, he might be able to inspire a new understanding of the love between men and women.
So Roger drove her home and said against his will: "You, please forgive me!" This led him to mistakenly believe that Roger realized his mistake and began to "educate him about love".
And Roger's desperate throw is not only a paralysis of himself, but also makes Himself more determined on the road of ignorance.
Headmaster Buck finds Roger and tells him that his reputation has been ruined and he has become the object of ridicule, at which point Roger has to resign and leave this unknown, upside-down black-and-white shelter.
However, the school is in need of manpower for the big exam, and Roger needs to stay a few more days. But he didn't expect that every day here would make him feel tormented.
The former students were shackled and did not have a good feeling for him. Now he himself misbehaved and became even more undignified before people. They spoke out in front of him and laughed at him openly.
The faculty and staff remembered the past and were particularly considerate of him, and did not dare to say anything that would cause taboo in front of him. Everyone was embarrassed to be speechless when they were with him. But beneath the quiet surface, everyone reminisced about Amberden's scandal.
When ordinary women saw him, they looked at him with big stupid and gentle eyes like cattle, afraid that he would do something he shouldn't do.
Dorrida, who hardly had any intersection, approached him and invited him to a private ball. Dorinda is a House Filler Lady in Maorith, she has a flexible body of meat, and has been on stage to sell art. At the beginning, Maorith caused quite a stir in the public opinion circles of South China University in order to marry her, and it was precisely because Roger had seriously criticized Maorishi that the gap deepened.
But at this time, Doraemon took the initiative to tease him, told him not to suppress himself, and mentioned Frank Tinbe (Jing Lisheng's husband) to him, and also took the initiative to mention that Frank Tinbe committed suicide because he could not find anything to do.
Roger couldn't help but shiver. His environment is like a black hole that devours everything, with no exit in sight. And the news about Frank Tinbe seemed to be a spark, igniting a light in the heart.
Shakespeare said that rumors are a flute that blows with speculation, suspicion and conjecture.
For Roger, getting everyone to point fingers at his wife because of his "sexual ignorance" ultimately ruined his life and future.
What happened to Roger was sad and terrible. Desperate, he turned on the gas and cooled it down in the faint sweetness.
The flames of the gas, like a black-hearted blue chrysanthemum, gradually became smaller and smaller, leaving only a neat row of small blue teeth, before being completely destroyed, suddenly swooping outwards, stretching out into sharp fangs one or two inches long.
Little Blue Teeth appears four times in the novel, the first two of which depict The Beauty and the Appearance of The Little Bluetooth.
When She mentioned the name of her dead husband, her thin lips lifted upwards, revealing a row of small white and blue teeth, small blue teeth.
After making a frantic move, she returned to Roger's room, and under the light, she revealed a neat row of white teeth, white and blue. Little blue teeth!
These "little blue teeth" are the abyss that devours Roger's life and life, until he changes from a normal person to a "pornographer", from an ordinary person who has no quarrel with the world to a discredited prodigal son. And the initiator of all this is Mrs. Miqiu'er.
It can be said that this is a selfish and perverted mother, who never gives her daughter normal sex education, watches her daughters suffer misfortune, and then returns to herself one by one. Fill your own emptiness.
And those who do not know the truth of the matter follow the frame, vent their private anger, but also like the black monster lurking in the jungle, waiting for the unfortunate people who are attacked to be caught, and finally do not forget to go up and stomp a few feet to solve the hatred.
It can only be said that in the context of that special era, human feelings are thin and cold, and human nature is stupid and terrible. As Zhang Ailing said, this is a dirty story, but people are always dirty, and when they are stained, they are dirty.
