A little impression of reading "Alive"

#秋日好时光 #

Hearing that Yu Hua had published a new book, I did not hesitate to buy it, turned to the title page, listed Yu Hua's novels one by one, and was surprised to find that I had actually read them all. "Alive" is the first book I read, it seems that before that, I watched Zhang Ailing, su qing, Wang Anyi, read all the small love in the metropolis, exquisite to the bone Shanghai women wearing a suitable cheongsam to live a petty bourgeois life. Even if you describe your love as humble, you only say one sentence: "Low to the dust, flowers bloom from the dust." "And 'Alive' presents a different side of society like me. This side is different from the delicacy of Shanghai, different from the life in front of me, but the rural life that I rarely see and hear, and the content is not limited to love, but more people who are still optimistic about life after enduring hardships in adversity. Throw away the gorgeous appearance and show the most authentic side. Then there is "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood", "Brother", "Seventh Day", "Shouting in the Drizzle", unconsciously read Yu Hua's novels, each reading will have an extra layer of understanding of this society, poverty, violence, death, every meticulous narration will render suffering to the extreme, and each of Yu Hua's works has an extremely strong sense of fatalism, he wrote about human suffering with a calm brushstroke, you will feel that there are some things in the world that are helpless, life should be like this, In the end, he was completely immersed in the mood of the novel, so that he could not get out of the sad mood for a long time, making people feel empathy but helpless.
