Border
Shen Congwen | Beiyue Literature and Art Publishing House | 2002
Border City was written from 1933 to early 1934. This work focuses on the changes in the fate of ordinary people and good people, and depicts the tragedy of the life of the Xiangnu Cuicui yin and yang.
As the author puts it: "Everything is full of goodness, but everywhere is not a coincidence." Since it is not a coincidence, it is inevitable that a simple good ending will produce tragedy. ”
"Border City" writes a kind of dreamlike beauty, such as ferry, godson, saving people, helping people, funeral and other daily small things, which seem to be quite idealistic in the author's view, quite a bit of "gentleman's field" atmosphere. Of course, contradictions are not non-existent, and clear-eyed people know at a glance that the shadow of social contradictions lurks in the background materials used by the author. Nor has the author made it clear that his intention was to support "people who support the great cause of national rejuvenation" and "give them a kind of courage and confidence."
