"He's a good writer, he's a great politician, he's a mighty man. But he was a father who fell on the road to thirst. ”
Jia Pingwa commented on Lu Yao in this way.
In "Ordinary World", Gao Fengge did not have many opportunities to appear, however, the forces led by him played a pivotal role in the life pattern of the main characters of the novel. In the novel, although Lu Yao has always been satirizing such a character as Gao Fengge, at the same time, he also has a deep helplessness.
Xiaoxia's death was directly related to Gao Fengge
In the novel, Xiaoxia dies in a flood. The flood was so big that it almost engulfed a city.
The city that was submerged in the south was Gao Fengge.
When the flood suddenly came, Gao Fengge, who had just taken office, went home to do marriage for his son. Obviously, it is a marriage affair, but in fact, it is a return to the hometown, because Gao Fengge's life has reached its climax.
Many people blame Xiaoxia's sacrifice on Shaoping's brother-in-law Wu Zhongping, if he did not speak much, Xiaoxia could not have known or would not go to the flooded city in the south.
But why did Xiaoxia get special permission to go to that southern city? Let's deduce a causal relationship: the city has a big flood, the number one Gao Fengge is not there, so the higher-level leader Qiao Bonian knows about this matter and decides to personally command the scene, which is known by Wu Zhongping's father, who inadvertently leaked qiao Bonian's whereabouts in front of his son Wu Zhongping, Wu Zhongping felt that this was a hot news, so he rushed to tell the provincial newspaper reporter Gao Lang, and the result was that Gao Lang was not there, XiaoXia was there, so Xiaoxia took Qiao Bonian's special plane, rushed to the front line of flood fighting, and finally sacrificed.
Having said such a lot, the clouds and mountains are foggy, in fact, it is very simple, if Gao Fengge was in the southern city when the flood occurred, Qiao Bonian would not go, and there would be no Xiaoxia or anything.
How Gao Fengge affected Shaoping's fate
Xiaoxia died, and Shaoping's life has been bleak since then, which is the most direct blow to Shaoping, and when Shaoping went to Huangyuan to work, Gao Fengge was also indirectly influencing Shaoping's fate.
Shaoping is Huang Yuan, what kind of life can he break out? He is also unknown, he only knows that the only thing he can do, and what he is urgently doing at the moment, is to make money.
Being a contractor becomes a must and the only option.
After working as a small worker at the construction site for a long time, Sun Shaoping has a goal of life:
He even thought that one day, he would become a contract foreman, with a black stick cigarette in his mouth, and go to the head of the Dongguan Bridge to select craftsmen... Hey!
However, this dream was completely ruined because of Hu Yongzhou and Xiao Cui.
Hu Yongzhou, is Gao Fengge is a cousin relationship, with this relationship in Huangyuan as a contract foreman, accidentally hit Shaoping became a small worker at Hu Yongzhou's construction site, Hu Yongzhou has always been good to Shaoping, give him a brisk job.
As a contractor foreman, Hu Yongzhou also has an inferior root, that is, bullying Xiao Cui who cooks, this matter was seen by Shaoping, and Shaoping, who loves to fight and hug, beat Up Hu Yongzhou in order to support Xiao Cui, and as a result, he was opened by Hu Yongzhou, and Xiao Cui was also opened along.
Shaoping gave Xiao Cui all the hard-earned 100 yuan, and he had no choice but to run to his friend Jin Bo.
Breaking up with Hu Yongzhou, Shaoping's dream of becoming a foreman was completely broken, and soon after he saw Xiao Cui in Huangyuan, Xiao Cui said, I have returned to the construction site in Hu Yongzhou...
Seeing that Xiao Cui had "fallen", Shao Ping's heart was cold and cold.
Offending a contract foreman in Huangyuan is equivalent to building a wall for himself in this industry, if it were not for the Xiaocui incident, Shaoping would have gone step by step to the contractor under Hu Yongzhou's "lifting", and it may not be impossible, but because of the unevenness, he lost the best job of the contractor, and could only continue to mix at the bottom...
Gao Fengge indirectly "fulfilled" the peasant entrepreneur Shao'an
Was Lu Yao deliberately arranged, or was it a coincidence.
Shaoping bravely broke into Huangyuan and met Gao Fengge's cousin Hu Yongzhou;
Shaoping's older brother Shao'an started his own business and met Hu Yonghe, Hu Yongzhou's younger brother.
The Sun brothers are "starting a business", and the Hu brothers are also "starting a business".
The former had no strong relatives, and the success of the Hu brothers basically depended on a cousin Gao Fengge who was a high official.
Sun Shaoping's eyes are not rubbing sand, and he directly resists some of the ugly behaviors of the Hu brothers, resulting in a gray head and gray face;
And Sun Shao'an, under the "teaching" of businessman Hu Yonghe, understands some unspoken rules and uses them in practice, and the effect is very good.
Especially when Sun Shaoan was the most difficult, without Hu Yonghe "pulling the brothers", it was almost completely finished.
Shao'an's entrepreneurial process is not pure, from beginning to end he relies on various nobles, through various relationships, he has gradually won the title of "peasant entrepreneur".
The secret battle between Gao Fengge and Tian Fujun
Gao Fengge and Tian Fujun are a pair of "sworn enemies", and the two men represent two fronts, conservatives and reformers.
Without Tian Fujun, Gao Fengge would have been able to achieve the position of the number one in the submerged city in the south in Huangyuan, but only killed a Tian Fujun in the middle of the road, so that Gao Fengge's career was hindered.
He secretly adopted the method of making small reports to slander Tian Fujun. This trick worked, someone above really came down to check, the result played a counter-effect, the decent Tian Fujun instead of the officers became bigger and bigger, directly to the provincial capital city as a leader.
The reason why Gao Fengge did this is because he also has his own "circle of friends", and his old superior is Miao Kai.
A year after Tian Xiaoxia was engulfed by the flood, the treatment of Gao Fengge was delayed, because Miao Kai had been "arguing for reason" for him.
Lu Yao used Sun Shaoping's sister Lan Xiang to go to her boyfriend's house and explained the reason. Lan Xiang's boyfriend's father, Wu Bin, is a big man in the province, and can almost influence Gao Fengge's life and death. At this time, Miao Kai was walking around to "rescue" Gao Fengge.
As a result, after Miao Kai touched a nose of ash where Wu Bin was, Gao Fengge was finally "swept to the end".
One last vignette
For small people, how to face the unspoken rules? Lu Yao did not directly express his opinion, but a meeting in Shuangshui Village euphemistically said the "answer".
At the last meeting held by Tian FuTang in Shuangshui Village, Sun Yuting put forward a "bill" to dig a cave for his son-in-law. No one objected to Yu Ting's request--although according to various conditions, this good territory could not turn Jin Qiang!
What is the reason that no one objected to it, Lu Yao described the mentality of the five people like this:
Tian Futang will not oppose Yuting, who is "his person" after all;
Jin Junwu will not object, because Jin Qiang is his nephew.
On the issue of Jin Qiang's turf, Jin Junwu, Sun Yuting, and Tian Futang all tacitly stood together. How could Kim Joon-san and Tian Hae-min challenge this powerful temporary alliance?
Look, to what extent the politics of rural China has been "developed"!
Let's look back at Jia Pingwa's evaluation of Lu Yao, exaggerated? Not an exaggeration at all. The unsophisticated Sun Shaoping "became" a coal digging worker, which is reasonable; On the contrary, his brother was greeted left and right, and became a rural entrepreneur, which was justified.
But this kind of "unspoken rule", like a boiled frog in warm water, is hidden in a ball of harmony, because I don't know when, a city will be disturbed by natural disasters and man-made disasters...
