This is a literary work with the characteristics of the times, telling the growth experience of the protagonist Zhu Xiaoqi, who was born in the 1970s. Behind the seemingly bland and logical life of the protagonist, it is full of inner entanglements and struggles. Never really engaged and pushed forward by the times, it seems that there is no choice to study; lost in the love of men and women and egos like a beautiful and fragile first love like a soap bubble; naturally, but never know the love and not love of the marriage; sometimes satisfied, sometimes anxious, bright and green, leisurely swimming in the landscape hidden in the strife of the workplace. Suddenly, I found that I was gradually drifting away from my original intention...
In the state of life, the protagonist is an out-and-out idealist, looking for the meaning of his own existence in the world, fighting against inertia in the confusion of losing himself, and exploring and rebelling against those who can foresee the direction of life without passion. The contradiction between reality and ideals, the conflict between action and personality, and the questioning of thinking that strikes deep inside the heart run through the book.
Perhaps, this is the fate of the times shared by many post-70s generations. Perhaps, this is the fate that people of every age can easily step into.
This is a novel with a great sense of picture. The author believes that a good literary work, the most important thing is to use the description of the situation and the analysis of ideas to make the reader have a strong resonance, so he strives to be meticulous in the description of some scenes with the common memory of the times, and even the specific locations and some slightly trivial processes are as real as possible, and the purpose is to evoke the common memory of a generation: the commentaries and cross-talks on the radio; the popular songs that are widely sung; the game hall of blood and passion; the dark and confused video hall; the undercurrent of the workplace, constantly negotiating, playing and making choices ......
The description of the protagonist's thinking is the place where the author focuses the most. He hopes that readers can find their own shadows from the protagonist's confusion and confusion about life, compromise and struggle, and hope that these words can bring some collision of thoughts to readers who also have similar feelings. A generation has a generation of confusion, a generation has a generation of historical mission, as the post-70s, they are the last generation to grow up in the revolutionary idealistic educational environment, the education they received from childhood and the development of the later era is the biggest gap, their way of thinking is the most entangled. They marched alone in the torrent of the times, searching for their true selves.
However, as the author said in the novel, many different human stories are still the same story theme of satisfying desires and placing desires. In this sense, this story is not just a mark of an era, it is a human repertoire that is constantly repeated by different individuals in different eras. Between desire and reality, how will the protagonist of the novel, Zhu Xiaoqi, treat himself? Compromise or protest? I hope that after reading this book, no matter what era you are, you will be able to get comfort and strength from it.
Excerpts from the golden sentence
· The most ordinary is the most attractive, the most real is the most moving. Because that's the experience we all have, the mood we all share. Among all sentient beings, every leaf has the story of each leaf, and each leaf can flash the scenery of a leaf. Perhaps, in this sense, it has been immortalized.
· There are always some people in the world, there are always some times, their feelings are so strong, their loneliness is so determined, their resistance is so thorough, they use the blood of youth to force themselves to the dead corner of life, because they use their endless passion and strength to block all possible paths, they rebel against all the known laws of the world, always feel that what blocks their eyes through the universe and the world, but they themselves can not find the direction, They only know that the only thing they can rely on is their uncompromising strength and courage, never giving up until they die.
· Looking at the heart, looking back on the past, he seems to have been staying in the time of his youth, the youth years of his dreams, and the year of standing, as if he has not really experienced it, and he is just being held by the line, not ready for their arrival, but also want to take a closer look at their appearance, life has been mud and sand, it seems that there is no journey and shadow worthy of gratification and memories.
· There is hesitation, there is tolerance, there is compromise, there is crying, there is self-contempt, there is loss, but always sober at the most critical moment of fate, strong at the lowest valley, full of fighting spirit at the end of the road, and full of energy when the most sleepy.
