You are watching camels in innocence - "Old Things in Seongnam"

Recalling the "Dongyang Childhood Camel Caravan" in the primary school textbook, it is still a childlike fluttering, with curiosity to open the old things in seongnam, only to know that that chapter is the most beautiful memory of Hideko's childhood, and it is also the end of childhood.

"Old Things in Seongnam" also includes Lin Haiyin's novellas "Spring Wind" and "The Story of Marriage". Of course, I prefer childhood stories, and adult stories are always a little sad and philosophical.

In the late 1920s, the family of Lin Yingzi, a six-year-old girl, lived in a small alley south of Beijing. Xiuzhen, a "crazy" woman who often stands at the door of the Hoi An Pavilion looking for her daughter, is a friend of Hideko's. Xiuzhen once secretly fell in love with a college student, Si Kang, and later Si Kang found an excuse to return to his hometown, and never came back after marrying someone else.

Xiuzhen's illegitimate daughter Xiao Guizi was abandoned by her family at the foot of the city wall and disappeared. Eiko is very sympathetic to her, and Hideko inadvertently discovers that her good friend Yu'er's life is very similar to that of Xiao Guizi, and finds the Aoki behind her neck and rushes to take her to find Xiuzhen.

After Xiuzhen and her daughter, who has been separated for six years, she immediately takes Yu'er to find her father. But in the end, the mother and daughter died together under the train while catching the train. Then Hideko developed a high fever, fell into a coma for ten days, and almost lost her life.

Later, the Ying Zi family moved to Xinzhu Zi Hutong. Eiko meets a young man with thick lips in a nearby deserted garden. In order to provide for his brother's schooling, he had to steal things. Eiko thinks he is very kind, but she can't tell if he is a good person or a bad person, just like he can't tell the difference between the sky and the sea, the golden red sun, from the blue sea, or from the blue sky? But Hideko still regarded him as a friend and met "Let's See the Sea".

Soon, Hideko picks up a small bronze Buddha in the deserted meadow, is found by plainclothes police, and brings patrol officers to arrest the young man, which makes Hideko very sad because she has lost a friend.

Later, Aunt Lan came to Ying Zi's house, and Ying Zi found that her father's attitude towards Aunt Lan was ambiguous, and Ying Zi thought of a way to introduce Aunt Lan to Uncle Dexian, and later the two of them fell in love, and finally they took a carriage together.

When Ying Zi was nine years old, the husband of her grandmother, Mother Song, rode a donkey to the Lin family, and the donkey rolled and ruined her father's flowers. When Ying Zi learned that Song Ma's son had drowned two years ago, and that her daughter had been given by her husband to a childless three-wheeled couple, she was very sad and did not understand why Song Ma left her children alone to serve others.

Later, Mama Song was also picked up by her husband with a small donkey. In the end, Daddy's flowers fell, and Hideko's father died of lung disease. Because of her father's departure, Hideko realized her responsibility and felt that she had grown up.

Xiao Ying Zi is a bright, innocent, cute, kind, brave child, in Hideko's heart, fool, madman, liar, thief these words that disgust children, will never appear in her words, her heart will always be pure and flawless, she is innocent, carefree, with a lively impulse to ask for good knowledge, sympathy for the unfortunate.

Hideko's childhood was carefree, her activities were broad and her soul was at ease, she had the care and attention of her parents and Mother Song, and she herself felt rich. In addition, she can also make friends and big friends, and her childhood is complete and happy.

Hideko's first acquaintance, Hideyoshi, often talks upside down, causing no other children to dare to approach her, but Hideyoshi cries and says to Hideko, "Do you say I'm crazy?" The madman picked up food on the ground and beat people again. Although Xiuzhen is not like an ordinary madman, she is still mentally abnormal, but her personality is still relatively soft, at least in front of Hideko, she is a gentle big sister.

Because of the abandonment of the scumbag, the illegitimate daughter was also abandoned by her parents, resulting in her mental disorder, she was an unfortunate person, but unfortunately did not come out of the pain, even when she found her daughter, she was not satisfied, but she wanted to pull her daughter to find the negative man, and finally died in Huangquan.

Yu'er is also a poor child, after being abandoned, she was adopted by a father who had a tendency to domestic violence, she was forced to learn to sing from a young age, even if she grew up, she was also a cash cow of her father, when she wanted to escape home, she accidentally found her own mother, and she died tragically after not enjoying the affection of the night.

I remembered my former little friend, who was also abandoned in the village entrance, and was adopted by the couple in the neighboring village, but unfortunately the good times were not long, and when she was young, she saw her mother being crushed to death by the truck, the family was poor, and after finishing junior high school, she dropped out of school and eloped to marry, and now her husband's family is also destitute.

The thief is a big friend that Hideko met after moving, and Hideko was amused to stay in the grass for the thief because of, and did not understand why there were gold, silver and bronze utensils in the grass. The thief seems to be a thick and honest person, admiring Xiao Yingzi's intelligence, and hoping that she can read more books and be a useful person in the future.

The thief is a bad person or a good person that Hideko wonders, saying that the bad guy is actually not a bad thief, he steals things for his brother to study, and after Hideko finds his stolen goods, he does not hurt Hideko. Speaking of good people, but after all, he is breaking the law and using improper means to steal other people's wealth. Therefore, Xiao Yingzi inadvertently sent the thief to prison without blaming himself.

In the old events of Seongnam, Lin Haiyin still uses the perspective of a child to describe what she has experienced, a person in the ethereal memory of sand picking gold, calmly tell their own story, there is no adult perspective of criticism, sentimentality, just simple narration, treat people and things without preconceived notions, but easy to explore the truth.

Ling Meng," when she watched "Old Things in Seongnam," once said: There is a trace of warmth in her heart, because she rarely sees such exquisite things, because she does not deliberately express anything, but only calmly depicts the old Beijing in the eyes of a child one scene at a time, just like life is talking about itself. So unhurried, gentle and gentle, so pure and indifferent, so eternal, so full of the smell of fireworks in the world, but without the slightest pursuit of fame and profit.
