Mo Yan is China's first writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. The first time I heard about the book "Life and Death Fatigue> was in one of our reading exchange groups, one day a partner sent Mo Yan in the Vibrato live link, I clicked in to see, it is really Mo Yan talking about the book "Life and Death Fatigue". Mo Yan said that if I had two books circulating "Life and Death Fatigue", it would definitely be one of them, and Mo Yan also said that the judges of the Nobel Prize awarded this award to me because they finished reading "Life and Death Fatigue".
The story told in this book is a protagonist, a wrongfully killed landlord who has gone through six reincarnations, becoming a tossed donkey, a stubborn cow, an optimistic pig, a loyal dog, a clever monkey, and finally reborn as a big baby with a congenital incurable disease. The book tells the story of his feelings as an animal from the perspective of a big baby, as well as the sad and happy stories of the landlord Ximen's family and the peasant Lan Jiefang's family. Through the perspective of various animals, the novel looks at the history of social change in rural China, and in this process, there is suffering and happiness.
Here are some of my experiences after reading this book:
& Humorous and funny language:
This book is attracted by the humorous and funny language in the text. Take a look at a passage from the following book:
"It was the seeds of the blue face, the great shame, the anger of the serpent letter, that burned in my heart.
I'm going to kill people, I'm going to curse people, I'm going to chop my blue face into meat paste. Blue face, you ungrateful
Beast, you bastard king of eight lambs! You call me Daddy,
Later, you simply called me Daddy, if I were your daddy, then Yingchun would be your aunt, your aunt
The mother adopts her as a wife and lets her conceive your child. You corrupt people, you deserve to be struck by five thunderbolts! It's here
Hell, you should peel the last weed and go to reincarnation in the animal path! But there is no way to heaven, and there is no reason in hell,
The reincarnation in the animal path is Simon, who has not done anything bad in my life. And you, Xiao Ying
Spring, little man, how many sweet words have you said in my arms? How many Mountain League Admirals have been sent? can
I
Before my bones were cold, you slept with the long-term worker. An adulteress like you still has a face alive
The world? You should die immediately, I give you a white aya, oh, you don't deserve to use white aya, only
With a rope of pig blood tied, hang yourself on the head of a beam where rats have pulled and bats have peed!
You only deserve to swallow four or two arsenic creams to poison yourself! You only deserve to jump outside the village and drown the wild dogs
Drown in the well! In the world, you should be allowed to ride a wooden donkey through the streets to show the public! In the Yin Cao di mansion should be put
You throw it into a pit of poisonous snakes that punish adulteresses and let the poisonous snakes bite you to death! Then beat you into the beast
Reincarnation in the Tao, even in all lifetimes, can not be transcended! Oh one by one Oh Oh one by one but was beaten to the animal path
But it was my righteous gentleman Simon, not my second aunt and wife. ”
This paragraph describes the protagonist Ximen Hao reincarnated as a donkey, seeing his second aunt and following the original long-term worker and the child they gave birth to a scene, the psychological change process. I think this period of scolding in my heart, scolding is good, and I think it is very funny.
& The love between Lan Jiefang and Pang Chunmiao makes me like it.
Among the characters in "Life and Death Fatigue", there is one person whose personality and personality are more attractive to me, and he is Blue Liberation. He is the only biological son of Blueface in the novel. The attraction point is that he can follow his own heart to make choices, and his desperate love with Pang Chunmiao makes people like it. It is possible to give up worldly fame and profit for the sake of love and to be with the person you love. At the beginning, he also pursued fame and profit, he betrayed his father to join the society, served as the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, deputy county governor and other positions, Lan Jiefang has always had ideals or passions in his heart.
It's also emotionally bumpy. From the initial admiration for Huang Mutual Aid, to the combination with cooperation, until the emergence of Pang Chunmiao, he desperately loves Chunmiao. After all kinds of tribulations, the two can finally be together in name only, but in the end, Chunmiao was killed by pregnancy, and the ending of this story may make people feel that Lan Liberation is too bitter and unfair, but perhaps for him, even so, there is no regret, because he has lived loved and been happy, it is enough.
The final author evaluates their love as follows:
Finally reunited with Harumi. The road from my house to Xinhua Bookstore can be completed by a healthy person at an average speed of fifteen minutes, but we walked for nearly two hours. According to Mo Yan, this is a journey of romance and a journey of suffering; this is an act of shamelessness and his noble deed; this is a retreat and an attack; this is surrender and resistance; this is a demonstration of weakness; this is a challenge and a compromise. He also said many similar contradictory statements, some of which were exactly what I wanted, and some of which were mysterious. In fact, I think, I ran away from home with the support of Chun miao
Neither noble nor honorable, it is best commendable: courage and frankness.
& Some of the classic quotes in the book are evocative.
1）
If I have a choice, I will still choose people, because I don't want to be a donkey who is loved by others, but a person who can love himself.
2）
This is true, but whatever is forced to be done by others, in the end things either cannot be done or cannot be done well, because if people are unhappy, they will resist in another way, that is, to make your purpose unsuccessful. Therefore, paying attention to methodology and making others do things willingly is a kind of wisdom
3）
The sin of killing one man, killing ten thousand men. The most famous battle in Baiqi was the Battle of Changping, where 400,000 Zhao soldiers were killed. Who pities those who have lost their fathers in thousands of homes? Everyone only remembers that Bai Qi was a god of war and a hero.
4）
Similarly, it is not difficult for a person to do a good thing, but it is rare to only do good things and not to do bad things in a lifetime.
If that's the case, then laugh.
It's stupid not to live with yourself.
The past cannot be repeated, and turning over old accounts will only make people depressed.
Therefore, when you are down, think about it, it is impossible to be so depressed all the time. Impermanence is the norm for man.
