"Waste Capital", by Jia Pingwa. The first time I heard this author or high school Chinese teacher say that even this book was recommended by the high school Language teacher many times. The Chinese teacher who recommended this book was a talented teacher in my high school, with humorous conversation and elegant behavior. For various reasons, I did not read this book at that time, but I had already planted grass by the teacher.
I didn't start to touch the book until I went to college, but people who haven't experienced the baptism of life can't read it. In college, life only showed a little corner, surrounded by classmates and teachers, it is a pity, this book was treated as a small yellow book by me, shelved.
Many years later, when I participated in the reading camp, the group leader organized a book to read this "Waste Capital". At this time, life has experienced love and hate, life and death, gathering and dispersing, and looking back.
A handful of bitter tears, who understands the taste.
Everyone has a copy of "Siege", a copy of "Waste Capital", and a copy of "Alive" in their minds.
It is true: the first time I read it, I don't know the meaning of the book, and then I read it as a person in the book.
Reading "Waste Capital" always reminds me of "Dream of the Red Chamber", the way the grass snake gray line is written for thousands of miles, those symbolic meanings, those renderings of color mystery and abandonment techniques. For example: Meng Yunfang helped Zhuang Zhidi to start a gua, counting the fate of Niu Yueqing, Liu Yue, Tang Wan'er, Wang Ximian's wife, those proverbs are like the twelve songs in the dream of the Red Chamber, symbolizing the fate of everyone. Zhuang Zhidi is Jia Baoyu, enjoying nourishment in the midst of a thousand flowers, but he does not know that the Hula Building will fall, and he will never see a good birthday again.
Zhuang Zhidi, this name reminds me of Li Shangyin's "Jinse", Zhuang Sheng Xiaomeng fan butterfly. In his dream, Zhuangzi did not know whether he was a butterfly or a butterfly was himself, and how could Zhuang Zhidi know whether these women were themselves or whether he himself was a few women.
What impressed me the most was the last woman to appear, Ah Can, a woman who exuded a strange fragrance around her, and her fate was indeed the most tragic, which can be described as a strange woman.
The whole book revolves around an honorary lawsuit caused by Zhou Min, that is, Zhuang Zhidi's first love Jing Xueyin, many years later, has long been a human being, Jing Xueyin is a political person, attaches importance to reputation, and Zhuang Zhidi is also a public figure, winning the lawsuit and losing his conscience. The last letter became the trigger point for all reversals, and the people who were in love with the past were pushing and shoving under the push and shove of everyone.
These strange women also represent the situation at all stages of life.
Niu Yueqing represents that we have just entered the society, abide by all the rules, we behave according to the rules, do things seriously, we enjoy a quiet and beautiful life, and we do our duty. However, with the passage of time, we find that the progress of the times and the development of science and technology, fiercely we are left behind, and we are not rudely ridiculed for being backward and dull.
And Liu Yue is in the future stage of life that has no ability to support herself, hoping that there is a powerful person to send a ride, they will not hesitate to pay their most precious price to obtain the original capital they need, this kind of idea of preferring to be complete, not for jade fragments, I do not believe that young you have not had.
Tang Wan'er, I think this character is the best character to shape, she reminds me of Tian Xiao'e in "White Deer Plain", Miao Yu and Yingchun in "Dream of the Red Chamber". Poor gold and jade, finally in the mud. Originally, I wanted to build myself into a literati and sage who made a system of sage books, but I never thought that once you entered society, all kinds of filthy realities would strike you hard and have no way to survive. You who have lost confidence in life suddenly see a bright channel, who will not do their best to fight, who will not throw away the etiquette and shame to get, this is the real life. Tang Wan'er was just at the bottom, powerless to change themselves, and just looked for a crutch.
Wang Ximian's wife represents a state, we have done a lot of things against our will throughout our lives, but there are always one or two things that we insist on.
And Ah Can, like a shooting star streaking through the sky, is brilliant and dazzling but short and tragic. Ah Can represents our rare chivalrous tenderness, although reality teaches us to lose emotion, no passion, lose courage, but occasionally inspire such a wisp of chivalrous tenderness, but it is as short as a meteor.
These beautiful and moving women are exactly who we are, our lives, our own choices in life and the stages of life we have experienced.
Jinser unprovoked fifty strings, one string and one pillar Sihua Nian. Zhuang Sheng Xiao dreamed of butterflies, and wangdi chunxin trusted the cuckoo. This can be a memory, but it was already confused at the time.
