One of the memories
I don't know if you have seen Yu Hua's "Alive", I still clearly remember the beginning of the article, one person and one cow are dependent on each other, telling a story about living from this old man named Fugui, sometimes living is only for living, and has no other meaning.
In fact, I have read several books written by Yu Hua, brother, Xu Sanguan selling blood, living and so on. Their stories are very real, and my sense of substitution is also very strong. Because sometimes I also feel that I have a life like them, a bad life, and this idea has been there since I was very young.
But at the same time, I am also a very happy person, with a mother who loves me very much and gives everything for me.
Tell you a story. I remember when I was less than ten years old, my neighbor came to a relative, a grandmother who could do the calculations, and said that the calculations were quite accurate, so my eldest mother pulled my parents to calculate the trigrams, and I followed the trend at that time. Before counting, the situation in my family was also generally clear to this grandmother. The tool used for arithmetic is solitaire, something similar to the Caro card. My parents seemed to draw a card each, and the impression was that they had drawn the same card or the same type of card. I remember that there was no word on it, it was a painting of a shepherd boy and a cow, and the shepherd boy held a whip in his hand and drove the cattle to cultivate the land. The grandmother explained that this shepherd boy was my father and this cow was my mother, meaning that my mother worked hard and my father was a prodder.
You may not believe this kind of fortune telling, but why I remember it so deeply is because I think it is roughly in line with everything I have experienced.
Later, I will also tell you the reasons why I have this experience.
