"Four Generations Together" reading notes
"Four Generations in the Same House" is a well-known book, I decided to skim the long-awaited "Four Generations in the Same House", the reason why I like to read Lao She's works is: in my memory, I feel that Lao She's works have never left, just like "Camel Xiangzi" and "Tea House" are also witnesses to the changes of the times.
The story of "Four Generations in the Same House" mainly takes place in "Seven Seven Things
Soon after, Peiping fell, and it was not until 1945, when Japan surrendered unconditionally during the eight-year War of Resistance, that the country wrote about the various households living in the small sheepfold of Peiping Hutong. The book is mainly divided into "Fear", "Stealing Life" and "Famine", which are described from the perspective of the Qi family, portraying people of all walks of life in the context of brutal war
How people choose and survive between the fate of the individual and the nation. It shows the cruelty of war and the difficult process of national awakening, and rationally criticizes and examines the decadent ideas and culture deeply cultivated in the people.
The deeds of admiring foreign countries and fearing things in the book are a true portrayal of the society at that time. In the same era, different identities carry different fates, and many of them can't help themselves. Among them, Qi Ruixuan is a poor man struggling with reality and ideals, he is kind but weak, and has the intention to kill the enemy in battle, but he cannot get rid of the shackles of the real family, and finally finds a suitable way to realize his wish to serve the country.
His younger brother Qi Ruifeng is. 一个让读者憎恶的人，游手好闲，和好吃懒做成为了他的代名词。 When he fell to Beiping and the Guan family framed Mr. Qian in prison, he went to stick the Guan family's ass without doing anything. He also fell to Peiping and was willing to become a lackey of the Japanese and become a section chief. There is not a single bit of shame and humiliation of the country. And after learning that his eldest brother was in prison, he did not take any action, greedy for life and feared death, always thinking only about his own safety and future, and did not have a sense of relatives. The other character in the book, Mr. Qian Moyin, is a poet himself, but I prefer to call him an intellectual because he has "out of the mud."
Unclean" quality, originally lived his life alone, but because he did not want to befriend Guan Xiaohe, he was framed by Guan, suffered in prison, and became the first awakened person after being released from prison, wanting to save Beiping.
Guan Xiaohe has been pursuing fame and fortune all his life, selfishness, and sycophancy with no lower limit to the Japanese, and was eventually buried alive by the Japanese life life, which he also deserves. In addition, there are many people who love peace and silently bear the damage caused by war.
"Four Generations Together" is a history of pain and anger of the nation. While it is determined to feed itself on the weakness of the nation, it also shows at all times the great righteousness and fearlessness of the ancient nation. In his works, Lao She focuses on examining China's family culture and rationally criticizing its negative factors, and it is well known that "family" is in China
A fortress of liturgy. However, this fortress contains many contents of family culture, including hierarchy, patriarchal thinking, ethics, customs, etc. This book tells us that the country is strong, and it is made up of the efforts of each individual. "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband", although we are small, each and every one of us is for the country
are crucial. If we are afraid of suffering and afraid of giving, maybe we will really suffer more! We should also cherish the hard-won peace in order to have the happy life we have now.

• Poets, artists, and thinkers, all pursue the truth of universal humanity. Similarities between people are more important than differences between people. If we open our skin, we can see that all human blood is red, whether the skin is white, red or yellow. If you could see this clearly, you would no longer see yourself as the proud son of heaven.
There is nothing unique about your body, or something you have that others don't. If there's anything you don't have, it's that you have stereotypes. Stereotypes are beliefs, not gifts from God.

Reading experience:
Humild, obedient, tolerant, and not blushing with others, Old Lady Qi avoided politics and struggle, feeling that no matter what the world could not forget etiquette and decency, and did not dare to visit his old friends for fear of being burdened.
But when he was forced by the Japanese to "want to be a slave and can't" and saw the girl die tragically due to hunger, he finally stood up bravely and defended his dignity, the dignity of the motherland. Mr. Qian Moyin, who was noble, conceited and straightforward before the war, spent all day watering flowers, drinking and having fun immersed in his own world, and the door of the Qian family has been closed. Before the national disaster, this flower wine poet who avoided politics began to awaken, became a soldier, and exceeded the age of flower armor, but he was still busy with anti-Japanese activities, and his faith was firm, tenacious and persevering. Ruixuan changed from the pillar of the four generations to the pillar of the country, by

"The wind is blowing". The torrent of history rises and falls, the wind rises, maybe there will be thunder in the sky, maybe lightning and thunder, or maybe a heavy snowfall. However, in the midst of the ups and downs, we always push the cart forward, step through the mud and scars, look back at the past winds and rains, in addition to remembering the lessons of war, we should also remember the Chinese that was still strong despite thousands of hardships, the awakening in the storm, the awakened lion, and the awakened new China.
