"If you want to get rid of your troubles, you must become a Buddha, and each has its own causes and conditions, and no one can envy people", although each has its own causes, but the various causes in this earthly world often end up with a ridiculous ending.
"Laughter Karma" has actually been read a few years ago, but this continuation, but it is the first time to see, after reading a feeling of regret in the heart suddenly, but deeply feel that there is another kind of perfection in this regret, unexpected but also expected, no wonder Yan Duhe praised "Mr. Hate Water's works, at least can be worthy of the four words of 'extraordinary'".
It is said that Zhang Hexhui's works are extraordinary, but in fact, there is also a "big custom" in the "not vulgar", which is customary and has written all over the world in a hundred turns and thousands of times in his story, up to Vanity Fair, down to The City Well Lane, whether it is a dignitary or a commoner, they all "take off their masks" here and interpret the real world. What is not bad is that in these thousands of faces, each has its own vivid color, and at the same time, the story reveals a profound practical significance, which triggers the reader's deep thinking.
This ingenious transition between the vulgar and the vulgar, as Professor Yuan Jin wrote in the article "On Civil Society under Zhang Hexhui's Pen":
"Looking at the forest of Zhang Hexhui's novels, the life covered there is quite extensive: parliaments, magnates, theaters, brothels, apartments, guild halls, schools, temples, streets and alleys, large courtyards, small households, high-end restaurants, slums, all of which are in the author's aesthetic vision; there are also quite a few characters: presidents, warlords, parliamentarians, widows, widows, widows, literati, scholars, actors, monks, students, coachmen, beggars, and the three religions and nine streams are all within the aesthetic hunting lens of the work. There are exposés and criticisms of corruption and filth, as well as sympathy and praise for the poor people. ”
After the may fourth new cultural movement began, such popular literature received severe criticism from the new literary camp, saying that it was known as the "Mandarin Duck Butterfly Sect" that flattered the public, and it was not until after the reform and opening up that it could be re-examined and evaluated.
The bridge section of three women chasing a man in "Laughing at karma" is not the golden file dog blood plot that we are accustomed to, the identity class and ideological personality of the three women are very different, but they are invariably devoted to the male protagonist Fan Jiashu. This is really not the blessing of the aura of the protagonist of Fan Jiashu, but because Fan Jiashu, a progressive young man who has accepted the idea of modern equality, although he is a rich man, he does not have the style of clumsiness, he is dashing and rich but not extravagant and wasteful, he has a sense of justice to help the poor and the weak, he will not be dismissive because of the humble status of the other party, nor will he be flattered because of his honor and wealth.
Probably because of Fan Jiashu's demeanor and demeanor, he couldn't help but attract the eyes of three women with different styles.
However, this "cause" is not a "marriage" after all, and the good and evil causes are all causes, and after a period of cause and effect, there are enmity and hatred everywhere. In his sequel to "The Cause of Laughter", Zhang Hexhui gave the women in these three relationships the most suitable ending for them, although he could not help but be sad and regretful, but he sublimated the whole story.
The first woman in the book, Guan Xiugu, seems to be the most inconspicuous one at the beginning, and the one who is most admired, loved, and cannot be let go at the end. The "rough girl" who does not look amazing is the most open-minded and righteous chivalrous woman. Xiugu's father, Guan Shoufeng, also had a chivalrous heart, and by chance, he formed a friendship with Fan Jiashu, who had moved away from his original residence because of some "explicit hints" in Fan Jiashu's family, away from the troubles of wealth and wealth; he would also be born and die because of Fan Jiashu's help when he was seriously ill.
Xiu gu once loved Fan Jia Shu, even if she is a witty and righteous heroine, when she meets a happy person, she will inevitably have a child's heart, but her love is obscure, and she can be open-minded when she learns that the family tree has a heart, and she will not hate because of love, but love her love, help and guard the family tree.
Love made her seem to have a serious illness, and even once had the idea of renunciation, the jingjue master in the temple woke up the dreamer with a word, and the overheard dialogue also made her let go of her heart's troubles even more, "Don't look at the cowherd weaver girl to the sky, let the cowherd look at us." They met once a year in heaven, and looked at the people on this earth, more or less alive and dead today. People change one shift, another shift, they meet once a year, how good! Let's not worry about the gods, worry about ourselves. "Yes, there are so many lives and deaths in this world, it is better to live this day well, what is the use of worrying so much?"
In the continuation part, the "love" around Xiugu also extends a deeper meaning, from the small love between her and the family tree, sublimated to the great love of the family and the world, although her ending is unbearable, but it is also reflecting her in the dust.
As for Shen Fengxi and He Lina, they are exactly like the front and back sides of the mirror, not only look very similar, but their life experience is also a strong contrast that strikes people's hearts. One of them is poor and one is rich; one is a naïve and can sing a big drum "Cinderella", one is a rich girl who talks and laughs at the cocktail party; one is robbed to be a canary, but she is beaten and killed, one gives up her indulgent romantic life for love but still loves; one has a heart higher than the sky but her life is thinner than paper; one has realized that "life in the world, we should have fun in time." Be happy now, be happy now, don't waste your time, find the illusory happiness of the future"...
Everyone has their own fate, just as He Lina in the novel said: "For example, although the face of a person is only a nose and an eye, a thousand people are a thousand looks." So the situation of love is also a thousand people and a thousand looks. ”
The three women seem to have ended up on the road of feelings, but in fact, they have embarked on their due places because of their respective temperaments and experiences, from the continuation of "Laughing Causes" to the real continuation of Zhang Hateshui's handwriting, that special era has given this story more different styles, both three religions and nine streams, the world is full of attitudes, there are also rich and glorious, singing and dancing, more chivalrous, family and country love, such a novel is not just a picture depicting secular society, It is also a history of wind and objects with strong characteristics of the times.
