Jia Pingwa is a famous writer, has been nearly a rare age Jia Lao has understood the true meaning of life, in 2020, he returned to the public's attention with his new work "Temporary Sitting", this time, as in the past, "Temporary Sitting" is a novel set in the city, many people say that this is a bit different from Jia Lao's style.
In fact, people who know Jia Pingwo know that this "Temporary Sitting" is like a sister article of Jia Pingwo's other work "Waste Capital" many years ago. Like the style of "Waste Capital", the text in "Temporary Sitting" is still explicit, realistic, with a critical meaning, and writes life in the tone of a spectator.
"Temporary Sitting" mainly tells the story of a tea house called "Temporary Sitting" in Xijing City, the owner of the tea house is an independent woman, she has more than a dozen good sisters, and all the sisters like to come to "temporarily sit" to drink tea and chat. The protagonist of the story is this group of sisters.
These women have very different personalities and different family conditions, and they come from all walks of life. There are advertising agencies, models, and "charter wives", although their backgrounds are different, but they have similarities.
Jia Pingwo once said: "A woman who looks bright and beautiful on the surface may carry a lot of paper towels that have been kneaded into a ball in the brand-name bag she carries every day, the snow-white shirt is crumpled, and the charming stockings also have holes."
He also has a more classic saying: you will find that the more economically backward the place, the more people eat, the more men who are not good-looking, the more desires, addicted to women.
This is Jia Pingwa's insight in the book "Temporary Sitting", which is Jia Pingwa's sealed work, which contains his insight and understanding of the noisy humanity in society.
The book depicts 12 beautiful women of different kinds, who survive in society, relying on their good faces to mix among all kinds of men, some people rely on men to take the position, some people do small three for executives, and some people rely on officials to open teahouses.
One of the most memorable is the teahouse's hostess - Hai Ruo, she is also the head of this group of women, she relied on the strong network behind the network to bring this group of like-minded women together, they confided in each other, helped each other, but also used each other, but with the breakdown of the network behind Hai Ruo, the boss lady Hai Ruo was also taken away to investigate, the relationship between this group of women collapsed, and the tea house was also blown up after this group of women ran to things.
Watch "Temporary Sitting", read what you see is the desire of women, and if you taste it carefully, you will find that everyone has the right to choose, and in this materialistic society, they are just for better survival.
However, life is always unsatisfactory, behind the bright and beautiful hidden too much unbearable, this is the true meaning of life that Jia Pingwo realized in his later years, he said: Everyone is experiencing the "temporary sitting" in this world, sitting well or not" "It all depends on your decision."
This book was completed by Jia Lao in his later years after spending two years and revising 4 times before and after, and is recommended to everyone!
In fact, the warmth and coldness of human feelings in "temporary sitting" is the epitome of the whole society, and the stories of the sisters in it hint at the life stories of all sentient beings in society. Jia Pingwa tells the story of the sisters, tastes the human world in life, and uses his unique perspective to observe some social conditions and write his own life insights.
Life was originally only a few decades in a hurry, everyone came to the world, just to "sit temporarily", so we must adjust our mentality, do not worry too much about the temporary gains and losses, so that life can be easier.
