Mr. Lao She's life

Mr. Lao She's life, in sorrow, came with hatred. What is left to the world are his three immortal works: "Camel Shoko", "The Tea House" and "Four Generations Together".

Those ordinary Beijing-style characters, in tandem, became a record of the tragic fate of ordinary people in that era; they became engravings of the dark and lawless life scenes of the toiling masses in old China. The author is not writing a book, but a cry to ordinary people, a curse on the reactionary ruling clique!

He knew the root cause of this sinful sickness, but there was no cure for it. He wanted to reach out and tear the dark clouds overhead in exchange for a bright, sunny, but out of reach; he wanted to scream with all his might, to evoke the consciences that had been swallowed up by evil, but no one heard; he wanted to change the unfair world, but in the end he could not do anything. He can only hope that blood, fire and sunshine will destroy this earthly purgatory and build a new world.

"Camel Xiangzi" depicts the life of Xiangzi, a rickshaw puller who lived at the lowest level of society in China in the 1920s. Sketch the lives of Shoko, Tiger Girl, and Little Fuzi: they are kind, hardworking, enthusiastic, positive and optimistic, but life gives them only poverty and death. They have also worked hard, they have fought against fate, and they have also had love and hatred, honest people who only live for a nest, but that era did not let them live. The author seems to find a glimmer of hope from the revolutionary who was once greedy, treacherous and gradually awakened, but is eventually stifled.

The Tea House chronicles the social conditions in China from about 1896 to more than half a century before the liberation of Beijing. Under the oppression of feudalism, imperialism and bureaucratic capitalism, the people of Chinese have lost their lives and withered away. In the Yutai Tea House, there are interpreters of pretentious brokers, accomplices who knock on the bone and suck the marrow, all kinds of beings, and charms; they interpret the humiliating life of a generation represented by the treasurer Wang Lifa. They went from hard work and positivity to helplessness and dying in despair in poverty.

"Four Generations Together" describes the Chinese society from the Lugou Bridge Incident in July 1937 to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War in August 1945. It tells the story of the anti-Japanese Tucun centered on the "Little Sheepfold" hutong. The brutality of the invaders has gradually awakened ordinary people, and with the lives of the Qi family, the Qian family, Li Siye, Xiao Cui, Xiao Sun, Xiao Wen and his wife, and the Guan family as the background, vividly records the determination of ordinary people to oppose aggression with the enemy, the confidence of resisting the victory of the invaders, and the story of the struggle against aggression that can be sung and wept. He praised Qi Ruiquan and Qian Zhongshi as the representative of the youth "the skin does not exist, Mao will be attached" family and country feelings, but also for Qi Ruixuan, the white inspectors from numbness to awakening and rejoicing.

Mr. Life, from 1899 to 1966. With his vision, his pen has recorded the lives of the most ordinary and low-level people in China for more than half a century, the most ordinary and low-level people in Chinese society. Love and sorrow, like a glass of spirits, devoured him in that time and experienced it. He praised the hard work and kindness of ordinary people with a warm heart. He hated the cold-blooded brutality of the invaders; he hated the vulgarity of the reactionary ruling clique; he hated the vile shamelessness of the traitors; he hated the greed and hypocrisy of the capitalists. He has only the people in his heart and lives for the people.

I regret that when I was young, I did not read Mr. Lao She's works carefully and comprehensively, and now when I pick up these books at night, I am shocked, that era and this era. Late at night, I suddenly heard a piece of Peking opera coming from the first floor, from far and near: "Pear blossoms bloom, spring with rain, pear blossoms fall, spring into the mud, this life is only for one person to go, dao he king is also crazy, love is also crazy, natural beauty is difficult to give up, natural beauty is difficult to give up, long hate a song of ancient fans, long hate a song of ancient thoughts, pear blossoms, spring with rain, pear blossoms, spring into the mud, this life only ..." Boom - boom, buy brother outside the door again, still singing this song "Ode to the Pear Blossom". Brought a ramen noodles without meat, a dinner that seemed exquisite.
