"Lin Jia Puzi": A microcosm of the old times

I have read many red classics, and there are quite a few battle stories and deeds in them, most of which depict the people's struggle against the enemy, and most of them depict the "frontal battlefield."

The book "Lin Jia Puzi" depicts the situation of real life, which belongs to the side and is equivalent to the "battlefield behind the enemy's back", showing the depths and heat of ordinary people from the side, and showing the various tragedies under the rule of that old era. Deep suffering also naturally gives birth to the inevitability of revolution.

As an outstanding realist writer in modern and contemporary China, Mao Dun has many excellent literary works. "Lin Jia Puzi" is also an excellent masterpiece of his short works.

Because of this, "Lin JiaPuzi" is also used as the title of the whole book. The book is actually a selection of Mao Dun's works, including novels such as "Lin Jia Puzi", "Spring Silkworm", "Autumn Harvest", "Cruel Winter" and "Poplar Praise" and other articles in total. The space of this book is limited, and the review of "Lin Jia Shop" is emphasized.

The length of the novel is not long, the content and main line of the story are relatively simple, the owner of a small shop in the Hangjiahu area of Jiangnan, in the context of the turbulent situation and the economic depression, struggled, under the oppression of the "three mountains", slit to survive, but eventually under the exploitation of the dark forces and finally bankruptcy.

Although it is a short story, the characters of the story are portrayed quite full and three-dimensionally. For example, Mr. Lin, who is familiar with business experience and hard work. When the Shanghainese came to ask for accounts, they tried their best to collect accounts for them, which reflected his punctual and trustworthy side, and he was also an exploiter, exploiting people who were one level lower than him. When he chose to escape later, he did not care about the life of someone who was more difficult than himself, and put down the debt and ran away alone.

Also, Mrs. Lin, the lady of the shop, loves her daughter very much, he is reluctant to miss Lin to be wronged in the slightest, and for Director Park's "marriage proposal", she finally gave her daughter to Shousheng, showing the noble traditional psychology of women in the old society who "prefer to eat coarse cloth as wives rather than eat jade and jade as concubines".

The guy in the shop, Shou Sheng, was shrewd and capable, loyal, and was Boss Lin's right and left hands, and when the Lin family shop was facing closure, he had no illusions about the reactionary ruling clique at that time and persuaded Boss Lin to leave.

Although Miss Lin has some weaknesses and tempers of misses, when Mrs. Lin promised her to Shousheng, "there was a hint of laughter in her tear marks", and there was no concept of the rank of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix.

On the whole, "Lin Jia Shop" is a novel of high artistic value and social reality significance, which successfully shapes a series of distinct images of Boss Lin, Mrs. Lin, Miss Lin and ShouSheng, such as Boss Lin, Mrs. Lin, Miss Lin and Shousheng, by depicting the story of the struggle to the collapse of a small store in a small town near Shanghai before and after the 128 Incident, and exposing the dark society of that era that made it impossible for countless people to live in peace.

As Mao Dun himself said, "Literature is made for the expression of life, and the life that a writer wants to express is by no means the life of one person and one family, but the life of one society and one nation." "Lin Jia Pu Zi" presents the social tragedy of the era in which the Lin Jia Pu Zi collapsed. The whole novel is based on the stumbling of the Survival and Struggle of the Lin Family Shop, outlining a miniature picture of the old social period.

The novel is also very good at using the right way, Mr. Lin is ruthless when he goes to Boss Wang's house to ask for goods, and his attitude towards the president is simply two completely opposite attitudes, reflecting his bullying and fear of hard side.

The plot has ups and downs, interlocking, and twists and turns. Make good use of foreshadowing and suspense. For example, the opening use of suspense at the beginning, starting with Miss Lin's angry and Lin Daniang's unusual behavior, openly expounds the background of the novel and social contradictions. The plot suspense of the novel is added through some extremely abnormal moves, which is fascinating to push the reader to continue reading.

In addition, the details are vividly described, the concept is clear, the visual image is clear, and the theme is prominent. In the novel, both the character portrayal and the description of the scene are written successfully.

Moreover, the content of novel writing is rich in diversity, the language is rich and diverse, and most of them use dialogue to highlight the personality characteristics of the characters.

The author spies through a small shop on the hardships of old social life. At such a serious moment when the economy collapsed, the national peril swept across China, and people were in a state of panic, "Lin Jia Puzi" artistically summed up the phenomena of life that people were concerned about and the contradictions and struggles involved in them, exposed the social roots that gave rise to all this, and played a fighting role in making people wake up and feel excited. This shows the depth of the author's literary skills and ideological power.
