When the 1987 version of "Dream of the Red Chamber" was broadcast on a bullet screen platform, the most asked question was "When did Uncle Rui come out?" "This phenomenon is interesting. Jared, who is scorned when reading the text, has become the most "willing" object of people to see and ridicule in this entertainment medium.
It can be said that through this screen-based approach, Jared accurately hit the "anti-hero" has become a trend in the era when people are "not humane" and obtained a new rebirth.
Dostoevsky's "Basement Notes" is a low-level official's incessant dissection and complaints about himself and the outside world, on the surface it seems to be noisy and noisy, but when he looks down, he finds that he does not have a shadow of himself: the servility that he does not dare to admit but practices, the self-esteem is very high and despicable, and he lives like a walking dead according to the so-called rules that have existed since birth.
Some called him "a rat with a strong consciousness" and "a great maggot who dared to call himself a maggot." In Jarry, he also embodies similar qualities to the basement people. This little man, who has never gained an independent narrative voice, his short life's unheeded confessions, may echo the handwriting of the nameless petty official in Petersburg.
Jia Rui's parents died since he was a child, and he was only raised by his grandfather Jia Dairu. This Jia Dai Confucian secretly echoed the situation of the Jia Academy: the disciples of the Jia Clan wantonly stirred up Longyang, and most of the school had no intention of learning, pointing out a "corrupt Confucian" image that seemed to be erudite and upright, but lacked the strength and method of teaching.
Although Dai Ru was pedantic to this point, although he did not take many steps on the surface for Jia Rui, it was difficult for him to learn to inflame and sleep in the willow early. Jia Rui also knew the hypocrisy of the set of people in his grandfather's mouth earlier and more deeply than Bao Yu.
Unfortunately, he did not have a favorable environment and the enlightenment of Zhong Lingyuxiu's daughter, and after he woke up, he was faced with a more rigorous way of upbringing and a lifelong life that was contrary to his grandfather's values. Whether Jarry has had struggles and ideals, we don't know, when we met him, he was already a villain who had helped abuse in the academy and coveted Sister Feng for a long time.
What makes Jia Rui "value" from a dry eyebrow is his "rhyme" with Feng Jie, which also reflects that although he is an ant, he has a strong sense of self. Jarry's fascination with Feng Jie, and being teased several times and three times, is quite comic.
You say that he has no guts, but he has the guts to seduce Wang Xifeng, the iron-fisted president of Rong Province; you say that he is bold enough, and he cowers and shrinks under Feng Jie's serial plan. The only bit of courage that Jia Rui has comes from his covetousness for Sister Feng, and the more complete rebellion against morality evoked by the affair of the wind.
As Nabokov commented on Madame Bovary's seemingly rebellious but mediocre experience: "Infidelity is the most traditional way of rebelling against tradition". Jarry spent half his life gambling with the morality of his grandfather's representative. The reason why it is "gambling" is that he knows his grandfather's color and inwardness, but he can't find a suitable way to fight back.
His sinking and evil are more like a mixture of destruction and pleasure than Zhenlian's. His infatuated Sister Feng also mixes a maternal and animalistic temperament, with the dual meaning of salvation and destruction. Ordinary clumsy children, such as Jia Rong, will not be moved by this temperament, and even if they have a heart, they are also afraid of the natural awe brought about by their power. And Jarry, so to speak, "fell into it."
The ugliness of Jia Rui and Feng Jie's "private meeting" can be said to be the most "dirty" text in the writer's pen. Perhaps it is this kind of real ugliness and desire to write a straight book that makes Jia Rui "stand out" among the decently decorated Jia clan people and gain more attention and sympathy.
Jarry's destruction was his own choice, even if it was out of a desire that even he himself could not understand. Jarry is a pathetic activist, a mediocre, but he also pours out the vile desires that mediocre people dare not achieve.
That side of the "Treasure Book of the Wind and Moon" fulfills Jarry's unknown rebellion and infatuation, and remains on the stage as an eternal fable. Time has changed, and the audience has changed from wave to wave. People born in the so-called postmodern world have finally discovered how real and pathetic this little figure in the fable is.
