Liu Xinglong's "Swallow Red" after reading the feeling

Liu Xinglong is a well-known writer in Huangzhou, Hubei Province, a native of the 1950s, who has long been concerned about the survival of rural areas and farmers. This novel describes the life and part-time work experience of peasants facing the turbulent environment after entering the city in the mid-1980s and early reform and opening up. The novel is Liu Xinglong's work more than 20 years ago, that is, in 1995, and it can be seen that this is an old work published together with the ascension of chickens and dogs after Liu Chengming became famous. Although the character relationships and plot echoes in it are flawed and not full of twists and turns, they are realist works, and their main content is the same as Lu Yao's "Ordinary World", reflecting the changes of this era.

Countryside and cities, farmers and citizens, are the themes that modern novels have always focused on. Because in the thirty years of drastic social changes, continuous material enrichment, and gradual desolation of the spiritual level, there are quite a number of people who deeply feel empathy and pain about this. Reality is always harsh and never to return, and one hopes to find some spiritual solace in fiction. Therefore, his novel is very readable, and it is very touching to turn it over.

Although there are only bits and pieces of rural life for about 20 years, the imprint left on me by my hometown is a lifetime. In the dead of night, I often recall the aroma of the meat buns of the fans of the Bayiji Old Street Supply and Marketing Cooperative, the qingqing of the small river that surrounds the old street, the situation of catching fish at the east gate after the rain rises, and the desire to bathe along the South River when the grass in the field is wet.......... Feel the villagers running for life, under heavy pressure to survive tenaciously.

Liu Xinglong's characters, such as Chen Dongfeng, have a level of thought, execution, and comprehension, which are obviously elevated, but if they are not written in this way, they cannot complete the character shaping of the novel. The novel comes from life and is higher than life, and this is the truth. Graduated from high school, worked at home for a few years, threw down the hoe and went into the city, there was not much preparation, the mind actually kept pace with the times, quickly opened up the situation in the city, and after a few years became the main backbone of the valve factory, how many such people are there?

Most people are still inert, accustomed to a long-term life, unwilling to struggle, unwilling to change, preferring to live the same life as always, there are grievances, there are also grievances, there are also grievances, but there are very few people who really seek change and act. Driven by the inertia of life, many people are no longer young and arrogant, of course, there are many people who are limited by the objective factors of the family and are difficult to break through. Many of my friends and relatives have similar situations, there are thoughts, there is pain, there is anxiety, what is missing is firm execution, as always action. Xun Zi said that there is a certain reason for not accumulating steps and going thousands of miles. The power of time is enormous, such as the compound interest of banks, the lurking of stocks, and how many people can persist to the end?

Some things, some goals, need to be carried by the weight to persevere in order to have a harvest. Cleverness is used too much, and people are frivolous. It is also mentioned in the novel that as long as the heart is careful, farmers, turners, shavers, and even announcers can become adults, have insight into this complicated world, and have unique views. People can be ordinary, but there are always channels to excel in small areas.

Therefore, let go of the impetuousness in your heart, clear the context of the way forward, concentrate your energy, abandon distractions, cut some trivial disturbances, and insist on the same choice, in order to look back on the past, you can have the satisfaction of living up to today's choice.
