I had never seen a big city before I was 18 years old, I had been living in the countryside, I rarely went out, and all I could see was high-rise buildings made of grass, wood, mud, reinforced concrete, and it was a dream in my heart.
With a vision of a big city, I stepped into society and grew up step by step, only to find that we have a lot of helplessness about the world, and of course, there are also a lot of feelings after growing up.
When I first came out of the countryside, I went into the factory to work, the accommodation, the dormitory was quite large, the environment was very good, and there was a water heater, before this, I had never used a water heater. After living for a while, the living habits of the workers in the dormitory were different, so they rented a small house outside the factory.
The family is surrounded by walls, but they think they have their own independent space, and they are very happy. Until now, getting married and having children, having my own house, slowly my thinking has changed, I no longer want to go out and drift, I don't want to rent someone else's house, I just want to keep my own one-minute and three acres of land, and live a down-to-earth life.
Life is like a drama, everyone is the protagonist of their own life, everything you have lies in you, it is an unforgettable experience.
In "Human Comedy", the first drama "Xijing Story" has something similar to what I encountered when I went out and went to rent a house.
Xijing, a metropolis that is both ancient and modern. Luo Jiaxiu's family, who was admitted to the university, rented a large courtyard, and their parents did not want to sell the century-old trees in the city, and they made a living selling cakes in the city, and the two children studied in the city, and the family lived in poverty.
Luo Jiaxiu's father is a person who values feelings and has feelings, and the old trees in the family can sell for at least hundreds of thousands, and he can live a decent life with hundreds of thousands of children in the city, but he just doesn't want to guard these two trees, which are the trees that witness their family history. He preferred to suffer himself, and he wanted the two trees to stand well at the head of the village.
Luo Jiaxiu's father is a more real person, the landlord's leather slippers hanging outside are missing, mistakenly thinking that it was old Luo who took it, but it was actually a puppy that grabbed the corner. Lao Luo always remembered this, three years later, when he wanted to move away, Lao Luo saved money to buy a new pair of leather shoes to return to the landlord, afraid of being misunderstood by others, and when he left, he also had to be innocent.
Each character in "Xijing Story" has its own personality characteristics, the author in the language of the characters, everyone's concept of life and value pursuit are vividly reflected, the author is carefully observing the reaction of each character, and the characters portrayed are also very successful.
In "Loading the Stage", he wrote about the life of Diao Shunzi, the person who loaded the stage. A very ordinary stager, at home, he is the top pillar, in the stage team, he is the leader, big and small things are looking for him.
In the eyes of her stepdaughter, Diao Shunzi ignited her life, believing that he was omnipotent, at least in those childhood times, he had always been a man who stood tall in the sky.
Later, the stepdaughter and her sister were not compatible, and went to the place where Diao Shunzi set up the stage to relax, but unexpectedly saw Diao Shunzi's tragic image in front of the leader - because the subordinates did not do a good job, the leader slapped Diao Shunzi twice in public, but Diao Shunzi only promised and did not dare to speak out. Under such a situation, the stepdaughter found that her father also had unknown suffering.
An ordinary migrant worker, who wants to support his family, will indeed bend for money and seek perfection, and cannot be arrogant. Diao Shunzi is a sinking heart, and those who have experienced suffering, endure it, and it will pass.
Based on society, everyone has an unknown side, we do something that others can't understand for our own desires, suppress the original flamboyant personality, endure pain, and live a seemingly peaceful life.
"Human Comedy" consists of a drama and two long novels, when I see the long novel, it is written with the word excerpt, there is a feeling of reading the language textbook, the more wonderful part of the excerpt story, let you see the itchy heart, but can not immediately peek at the end, there are some regrets, but also a little lucky, glad to see such a wonderful work.
Later, I found that this set of books is such a structure, choose the wonderful part as a display, so that readers have a general understanding of contemporary literary works, find the classics of the book in the window, and after reading, you can also choose your favorite to read the whole book.
I can always find the feelings I have had in the classic books, as if I have entered another time and space, the sense of reality is overwhelming, so that I unconsciously read the whole book, I believe that such a good book will also make you fall in love.
