When I was a child studying Lu Xun's "Blessings", the Chinese teacher said that the central idea of this article was to instill the decay and darkness of the old society by describing the tragic fate of Xiang Lin's sister-in-law.
In today's highly developed Internet, I think that although Xiang Lin's death is related to that decaying old society, her death is inseparable from the jokes, ridicules, and ridicules of the melon-eating masses, but they are causal.
Right! Those melon-eating masses who can't tell their names and can't see their faces are the executioners.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Xianglin sister-in-law is an honest worker</h1>
Xianglin sister-in-law died her first husband at the age of twenty-six or seven, and she escaped to work in Luzhen under the eyes of her evil mother-in-law.
She looks zhouzheng, her hands and feet are strong, and she just follows her eyes and does not say a word, much like a person who is safe and hardworking... She did it all day, seemingly idle and boring, and powerful, almost worth a man... — excerpt from "Blessings."
Look, this is the image of a hard-working worker who never steals and slips!
There was no man in charge of the house, she had no six gods and no masters, and she knew that if she continued to stay at home, she could only be slaughtered. So she escaped, worked as a helper for others, and used her labor and sweat to earn money to support herself.
It was the first time she had confronted the cruelty and injustice of fate against her.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Xianglin has been working hard to fight against fate</h1>
In order to marry the little uncle, the evil mother-in-law tied up Xianglin's sister-in-law from Luzhen and sold her to a man in the mountains as a daughter-in-law.
Everyone knows that it is good to be a daughter-in-law in the local area, but the dowry in the mountains is higher, so that after the little uncle finishes his family affairs, the mother-in-law still has a surplus!
Xiang Lin's sister-in-law was tied to a flower palanquin by the five flowers, and she cried and shouted all the way until her voice was dumb; when she worshiped heaven and earth, she bumped into the incense case, and the blood flowed; she was locked in the room and the flower candle in the cave room, she vowed to fight to the death... However, the arms cannot twist the thighs.
how! Fate doesn't like the icing on the cake, it makes it worse! Her second husband died again.
Strong, she took up the burden of life, collecting firewood, picking tea, raising silkworms, doing everything, and living strongly with her son.
Alas, fate did not seem to want to let him go, and then the son was eaten by wolves again.
I was so stupid, really, I knew only that when it snowed, the beasts would come to the village without food in the mountain passes; I didn't know that there would be spring. I got up early in the morning and opened the door, took a small basket of beans, and told us Ah Mao to sit on the threshold and peel the beans... Everyone said, it's bad, I'm afraid I've been hit by a wolf. When he went in again, he was indeed lying in the grass, all the internal organs in his stomach had been eaten empty, and he was still holding the small basket tightly in his hand... -- Excerpt from "Blessings"
Who could have imagined that in the above paragraph, Xiang Lin's sister-in-law would say it every time, constantly revealing her scars, until she died.
But even so, in the face of so many fatal blows, Xiang Lin still chose to continue to fight against fate.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the iron will is vulnerable in front of the melon-eating masses</h1>
She returned to Luzhen again and started the life of a migrant worker.
Although she was asked for a job, this time she was rejected by the master, thinking that she was an ominous thing, and many sacrifices would not let her do it, because she would feel sorry for the ancestors.
At this time, she was not as busy as when she first came to Lu Town.
She changed her previous style of "not opening a word" and chatted with the melon-eating masses. Who would have thought that heaven could also talk about people to death.
In the days that followed, no matter how she met a man, a woman, an old man, or a child, she would tell almost verbatim the passage about how her son died, so that everyone who had heard it could tell it word for word.
The melon-eating masses went from wiping tears and sympathy at the beginning, to the indifference and silence in the midfield, to the final boredom and spitting.
She may not know that her sorrow has been chewed and appreciated by everyone for many days, and has long been a dregs, only worthy of boredom and scorn; but from the laughter of the people, it seems that she feels cold and sharp, and there is no need for her to open her mouth anymore. - Excerpt from "Blessings"
Once the story is really good, once it is told, the melon will be tasteless to eat.
Soon, the melon-eating masses dug up new melons.
"I ask you: How did you end up clinging to it then?" He asked xianglin why he had another son.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Sister-in-law Xianglin replied.
All right! For a long time in the future, the people who eat melons eat this melon, until this melon is no longer fragrant, and then change a melon.
"You think, you're going to come to The Hades, and those two dead ghost men are still fighting, who are you going to give to?" The Great King of Yan Luo had no choice but to saw you apart and distribute it to them..."
Look, eat melon to eat, almost eat human blood steamed buns. Sure enough, Xiang Lin's sister-in-law was finally knocked down by these jokes.
She couldn't sleep or eat, but there was no one to answer her questions until she met Lu Xun by the river.
"You are literate, you are a go-outer, and you have seen a lot. I was about to ask you something... After a person dies, is there a soul? ”
Lu Xun replied to her, "That's ,...... Really, I can't tell..."
The sky was getting darker, and in the afternoon it was snowing, and the snowflakes were as big as plum blossoms, flying all over the sky, with smoke and busyness. ——Excerpt from Lu Xun's "Blessings"
Originally, Xiang Lin's sister-in-law could survive in the face of so many changes. But on that snowy afternoon, she died, and everyone said she was poor, obviously not.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > revelation</h1>
Although Xiang Lin died under the system of the old society, it was only the teasing, ridicule, and ridicule of the melon-eating masses that really ruined all her hopes for life.
Otherwise, with her iron will and hard-working spirit, she would not have died so early, and also gave us some enlightenment:
1, no matter where you live, put away the enthusiasm that wants to complain, no one can really empathize with you;
2, treat others, see through not to say broken, less discussion, self-understanding on the line;
3, I have experienced the pain, treat the same people, more relief and encouragement;
4, people are fearful of words, but also not afraid of gossip.
