Yu Hua is my favorite writer, "Alive" I also watched many times, watched over and cried again, no matter how hard-hearted, watching will also burst into tears, today suddenly in an introduction to life must see 100 books, see "Alive" is also in it, this does not surprise me, and even noted that director Zhang Yimou also feels that his remake of "Alive" is also one of his best films.
"People live to live, not to live for anything other than to live", the first time I saw it was when I was in junior high school, I just took it to see how to pass the time, when there was too little experience and very shallow understanding. After a few years, I read it again and felt very deeply. Yu Hua's life is tragic, desolate, full of hope and at the same time let you lose it thoroughly.
Dong Qing said, "Yu Hua's words are calm and full of strength, like a fluorescent scalpel. ”
Although the story of "Alive" is simple, the extremely tragic protagonist Fugui is originally a young master, but he is addicted to gambling and idle all day, and finally one day loses the family property. The original landlord, Young Master Kuo, became a poor sharecropper, his family left him one after another, his son died because he saved the county magistrate's wife from drawing blood, his daughter left after giving birth to a child, his son-in-law was killed by a cement board, his grandson also died of eating beans, and finally only Fugui and an old cow were left.
And the most touching thing about the whole book is the death of Youqing, Yu Hua only wrote one sentence to portray the pain of Fugui's loss of his son" I looked at the path that curved into the city, I couldn't hear the sound of my son running barefoot, and the moonlight on the road seemed to be sprinkled with salt. "Some people come into this world because they have to come, and some people leave this world because they have to go. Yu Hua's language was briefly concise This is a few words that have not appeared in the word "pain" and the word "bitter", but Yu Hua himself wrote this sentence and he cried and cried.
Yu Hua's parents are doctors, he has spent the most time in the hospital since he was a child, the morgue is just across from his house, he has seen too many life and death partings, he himself said, "Only one by one are dead, only Fugui alone appears to be powerful." "The Fugui in the book is not Yu Hua himself, they have all experienced too much life and death, they are all ascetics."
Experiencing too many life and death partings, the pain in the human world, their hearts have long been smoothed out by life, and they only want to live... Live without complaint or regret.
Yu Hua said in the book, "Man lives for the sake of being alive itself, not for anything other than being alive." "After the storm, you can always see the rainbow, only live to see the rainbow, this is the biggest victory."
