Bai Ling, who is said to be the embodiment of the white deer, was spoiled by his father Bai Jiaxuan from an early age, and often played with Lu Zhaopeng when he was a child.
After growing up, Bai Ling regarded Lu Zhaopeng as his idol, and often went to listen to his lessons, the relationship between the two was not equal at first, and when the organization asked them to pretend to be husband and wife, Lu Zhaopeng would always hide his inner ripples.
He fell asleep on the ground, and Bai Ling heard him call out his name in his dreams many times. Gradually, unequal relationships became reciprocal.
They drank wine at night, and Bai Ling threw himself into Lu Zhaopeng's arms, saying that he was going to be a husband and wife tonight, but Lu Zhaopeng was still reserved, taking out the appearance of being a big brother, saying that Bai Ling was talking nonsense! But the body is very honest, just like that, the two really have a substantial relationship, so they are equal.
Later, Bai Ling became pregnant with Lu Zhaopeng's child, but eventually died in the revolution.
In the novel, Mr. Chen Zhongzhong did not clearly say what the reason why Bai Jiaxuan opposed Bai Ling and Lu Zhaopeng was, and perhaps the biggest reason was that the Bailu and Lu families did not deal with each other in the first place, and Bai Jiaxuan wanted Bai Ling to marry Wang.
But in fact, in the first part of the novel, the reason for this is very clear.
The Two White Deer clans were originally a family
In the novel, Mr. Chen Lao explained the origin of the two families, it is said that a long time ago, the White Deer Village was called Houjia Village, and then a very far-sighted old man came to the village and changed its name to White Deer Village.
The Hou family originally had two of the oldest descendants, the brother changed to the "white" surname, the brother changed the "deer" surname, generations, so there are two big families of the Bai family and the Lu family, in their ancestors' generation, these two families are actually the same root!
Therefore, in the novel "White Deer Plain" we can see that there is a white deer ancestral hall, the rule is that the White Family and the Deer Family sacrifice at the same time, so that the combination of Bai Ling and Lu Zhaopeng is actually a close relative.
The story of "White Deer Plain" is the story of Chen Zhongzhong's hometown, back to his hometown, Chen Zhongzhong came to Bailu Village, where he saw the life of his ancestors.
Before Chen Zhongzhong created "White Deer Plain", he secretly resolved to treat this book as a work of "pillow cushioning in the future", that is, a novelist always had to write some works that he felt were good for funerals.
The qi of the White Deer Plain is warm, like the breath of the earth, thick and gentle, nourishing and growing in the unhurried and tepid, the earth is the water of the earth, the same around the fingers soft, the same thick to the rigid. Bai Luyuan's qi was also intense, just like the chant in the night, low and gentle, but it could not hide the inner tremor, the inner cry.
This book is about the fate of the family, the fate of that era, and it is about the great family history. At that time, Mo Yan wanted to complete a family history, you know, the Only Chinese Family History Novel is "Dream of the Red Chamber", but unexpectedly, this wish was realized by Chen Zhongzhong
"White Deer Plain" is a good novel that can stand the test of time and can be read again and again.
Bailuyuan is such a book, you can see it as a system history, a living case analysis, you can see it as a tragedy, an epic, even a erotic love, but when you close the book, you see a tear, this tear is bitter, it is full of past pain, but it is irrevocably dripping into the dry and cracked earth, still hoping to give birth to new life.
That's what the classics bring to us.
The drama of life in which love and hate is long, sad and happy, plays out well, whether good or bad, and eventually turns into the dust of history.
"White Deer Plain" tells the story of an era, the story of that land.
