My thoughts after reading the book written by Sanmao, extra points for good ones

Review of "The Coward"

"The Coward" is a prose written by San Mao specifically for the readers of "The Young Lion". The article is 3,500 words long and describes the story of her stealing money when she was a child. The full text can be roughly divided into four parts.

The first part is to introduce the background of stealing money.

At the beginning of the article, Sanmao gave up and did not directly say that he stole money, but just described "this matter, to say

is very plain..." Chapter At the end of the paragraph, it is pointed out, "What I want to say is - steal money."

This way of expression is to put the answer later, create suspense first, and then reveal the unexpected result. It reminds me of Wilde's visit to the United States. The customs officer asked him: "Are there any valuables you carry with you that need to be taxed?" Wilde's answer was: "No. , except for my genius.”

The first part describes the various consequences of stealing money. "The last child who flew away was the one who received the lightest punishment.

When his parents found out that they had lost their money and money, they were worried about people. When people come back, they should take good care of what they have lost and found.

< p>’s son, he couldn’t bear to fight him.”

This passage is full of irony, which is reminiscent of “The Child” in Liang Shiqiu’s “Yashe Sketch”: “

< p>When parents' survival and dignity are endangered, they may have to curse a few times, but most of the curses are in the nature of begging for mercy

There may be a little intimidation in them, but that intimidation can only win the children's favor. Laughing, because that threat has never been fulfilled."

Why is this kind of text so touching? Sanmao writes about the stinky story of why he chose to steal money in his childhood? Because "truth", to the point, reflects real and profound life, rather than high-sounding superficial words.

The second part describes the process of stealing money.

"I walked into my mother's bedroom and saw a red note lying on the chest of drawers - five yuan." This was really a great temptation.

What really happened was that "my breathing began to quicken, and I clenched my hands tightly... When I regained consciousness, I was already standing under the osmanthus tree in the garden, touching my pockets. The money came out and was in my pocket

"

It seemed that it was easy to get, it took no effort at all, and the writing was very plain. However, upon closer inspection, it is found that abstract psychological feelings, tension and state are fully demonstrated through concrete movements and expressions.

In fact, almost everyone has the idea of ​​"stealing". After Sanmao grew up, he still had a childish innocence and was very fond of stealing

. Don't misunderstand her as a thief. There is a passage in "A Family from Hands" that tells the story of her and Jose climbing into the low wall of the governor's house at night and digging flowers with their four hands. Later, they were discovered by the guards, and the couple managed to escape by pretending to be in love.

The third part depicts the psychology after stealing money.

My whole person has changed. I can neither sit nor stand. I seem to be sick. In fact, the mother found out that she had dropped the money and did not suspect Sanmao. However, she "did look like she had a high fever, and the five yuan in her pocket was as hot as soup." "It's like the short ribs, it's burning my legs all the time." Using a metaphor, it's an exaggerated description of the money burning my legs.

Of course it's not objectively true. How can the money be hot? However, in terms of subjective feeling, if it is not so exaggerated, it is really not enough to describe the tension and uneasiness in her heart.

In such a "haunted" situation, I struggled all day long, and the final result was to "walk quickly with bare feet

ran into my mother's bedroom and put her in bed. The money was rolled up into a ball and quickly thrown into the gap between the chest of drawers and the wall arm. Then he escaped back to the bed and breathed a long sigh of relief. "

San Mao. Her childhood mood is described vividly and vividly on the page in a retrospective tone. Of course, after paying back the money, I still felt sad when I thought that my dream was in vain because of my timidity.

The fourth part describes the ending after the money theft incident.

The feeling of stealing money was not pleasant, so she stopped stealing again, and discovered that her sisters and brothers all had the same experience.

Such a childhood memory, a derailment experience shared by many people, in Sanmao’s writing, such a scene is rehearsed in front of the readers, it is really lifelike. , just like watching a movie. There is no reason or preaching, but

it is educational and humorous, which is thought-provoking.

Reading Sanmao's "Allure" Bodhi

Li Yannian sang a very heart-warming song in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It is strange to say that this song made it happen

p>

A love story that has been talked about through the ages. The song goes like this: "There is a beauty in the north who is peerless and independent. She looks at the charming city and then the charming person.

Guoning does not know that it is rare to find a beautiful woman who conquers the country and the city. "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty only said that the song was good, but he didn't believe that there was such a person. However, his sister knew about it and said that Li Yannian's sister had such peerless beauty. From then on Emperor Wu gained new favor.

Musician Li Yannian also rose to prominence from then on, so much so that he later recalled his lovesickness and came up with the quatrain "Why is it so late to come so gracefully?", all because of this "one glance that captivates people" City, and then take care of the country."

A piece of San Mao’s past was written in eighty-eight thousand words of prose - it might as well be regarded as a novel - titled "Alluring City

". After reading it over and over again, I felt irritated and disturbed. Heart and lungs, a struggling student might not even have imagined that such a scene would appear in her life.

However, it happened after all, it happened so briefly, so brilliant, so bitter, so sweet, so life-and-death, and almost cost me my life.

Looking at this prose, I feel that it is even more fascinating because it may be a fact (in fact, literary works can be

not asking whether it is true or false, only asking whether it is It doesn’t matter whether it is reasonable or not). Due to the unexpected plot that brilliantly bursts out,

shows a deep complex in human nature that is difficult to describe, making people surrender to the belief that "love is everything".

Love is a kind of agreement that needs no explanation.

Love is the total collapse of spiritual barriers.

Love is the only volcano that can erupt in the depths of loneliness.

The story of "Allure" is very simple: it is about a student who is studying hard in West Berlin. Because he must go to East Berlin for vacation, he has to apply for a permit in East Berlin. Halfway there, he is in despair. By chance, I met an officer from East Berlin and with his help, I succeeded.

As for this officer, he fell in love almost as soon as he saw her, but his expression of love was extremely subtle, gentle, meticulous

and profound. The whole story lies in that flash of inspiration. In the process of an instant, there is a certain misfortune in the world, the misfortune of life, and the impossibility of perfection in the world.

If we view it as a novel, this "Allure" enters a rapid and urgent melody after about one-half of it, which is exactly a kind of "iron cavalry fight" The rhythm of the sound of guns and swords. Confessions similar to the free flow of consciousness require no natural development of any context at all. It seems that only at this point can people suddenly free themselves from all shackles and let go of their true nature

The original appearance comes. In this material, the work only uses the simple sentence "I don't want to live anymore, I don't want to live anymore. ...

I don't want to live anymore" as the keynote for plot development and psychological description. Everything is We must consider this fundamental issue

. A desperate struggle. Judging that kind of collision based on the situation of a girl, perhaps only by fighting to the death can such a struggle be achieved. "The greatest glory of motherhood is to put death before any other loved one."

Only in this way can descendants continue to live forever. The "I" in the protagonist of Qingcheng was really desperate at that time, and everything was wiped out

in the back of his head.

This kind of rapid melody directly expresses the theme and narrates the essence of the story, which makes people hold their breath and appreciate it. It is really wonderful

. But there are often leisurely humorous touches. When she sees a pair of boots, she will reveal her entire life's embarrassment

in one stroke. "There are few people on the street, and there are women wearing boots. That's the only thing I envy." It also enlightens a girl's soul. In the whole article, this is not necessary, but having "it" really brings out the richness of the article

It makes the article more leisurely.

The good news is that the most important plot in this article is: "A girl like a spring flower, was sunk into a whirlpool by a pair of big eyes like a deep well. In the cold wind, It was the last bus in the bitter cold, but when it was time to leave, something like this appeared: ""The last bus is on, you get on!" "He said. I opened my mouth to say something, but I didn't know what to say.

I was pushed by him. I choked and wanted to say it, but he pushed me again. Then I screamed wildly━ ━"You come with me

━━" "Impossible, I have parents, come on!" "I'll stay for one day!" Please, please, I want to stay for one day

. "I reached out and pulled his sleeve, ah! If you die, there will be nothing anyway, so what does West Berlin mean to me?"

"... those pairs In the eyes, there is a kind of mystery and pain that cannot be solved, cannot be explained, and has no relationship with the previous life. Until the train turns a corner, the pain and emptiness are still like a scimitar. Cut, keep cutting."

This small paragraph bursts out the precious connotation of life. From the description of the last half

of "Allure", the entire plot has reached its climax, layer upon layer, ripples, and subtleties

She wrote meticulously about the temperament with which she spoke, the smile she gave Xiao Zhang, her contempt and sympathy, and even the details of her investigation.

It is also written so vividly and interestingly that people can only appreciate and enjoy it in the mountains without being able to take a moment and miss the peaks.

The beautiful scenery is so-called soul-stirring, but you dare not dare to do so. The language forces you to read it carefully.

But at the critical moment, the author

uses the simple method of "I don't want to live anymore anyway" to leave a large blank for you to freely associate and let your own

associations go. Making up for the blank space in the work is also a way to satisfy readers' creative desires - that is to say, the author leaves enough space and emotion for readers to satisfy themselves - no matter how meticulous the article is, if it loses this point, it will still be If you don't know how to please, you can't enter the palace of art, and it's hard to arouse enthusiasm. In fact, the so-called "empathy" is the author's ability to exert empathy

After writing the ink, readers can still take a broader tour here. Therefore, the more profound and common the "plot" is, and the more blanks are left for readers, the better they can see the wonderful essence of the work.

"Allure" focuses on a student who studies hard at the beginning. The writing is meticulous and vivid, and a few concise strokes can clearly and vividly outline many details, such as the pressure of homework, interactions with classmates, and the depth of affection of close friends

, without much ink, you can see the person and the story, but, precisely because of this, a weak woman invisibly enters the desolate spiritual world. The loneliness and burden seem to be more than just... You can get through it just by being patient. Exploring this from the perspective of psychological factors is the remote cause of the second half of "The Fall". The Germans are advancing in a hurry, but it is still not suitable for "scholars". (

In fact, the school has already explained that you should stop studying for a while.) It’s just that the protagonist is forced by the situation. No. Do you know that after all, humans are emotions, emotions, love, and comprehensive animals, and they must live in a sentient world. Once it goes too far, abnormal things will happen.

Although the dramatic effect of the second half of "Allure" is good, it is not enough unless it has the antecedent (hard study).

Sure enough, when the protagonist had no choice but to bury the book in the snow, things unfolded in a state of ignorance that was almost at a loss.

However, a girl like an elf, in a crisis that can be overturned at any time, sleepwalks through one level

One level after another shows the romantic sentiment of the plot. There is patriotic sentiment everywhere. She has a clear mind and a bold style of work

and refuses to let anyone take any advantage of her when she gets the slightest opportunity, using her handling methods and "diplomatic" methods

━If you answer the question of getting a white pass, you dare to scold him.

You can also "bluff" those ignorant guys when you meet them. They are really cunning and elf-like glass people.

Although "Allure" adopts the form of direct prose, it contains warnings and warnings everywhere, revealing the plot of encouragement

. It also uses a straightforward approach, leaving readers with no doubt that it must be believed. "I was a beautiful woman at that time. I knew that if I smiled, I would be able to move people, no matter who they were." Such words

will really produce the power of "a smile can captivate a city, and a second smile can captivate a country".

However, the depression and embarrassment in the first half turn into unrestrained and explosive in the second half. When you are dazzled by many

plots before the end, you will find that the three Mao is also an excellent master of Qingcheng in handling this kind of love plot.

The repeated appearance of "eyes like a deep well" as a single main theme is touching. Coupled with the familiar philosophy of fate

and "the confusion and pain of not knowing what the relationship was before life", the heart-wrenching and unforgettable love is perfectly written. .

Finally, she ended the article with the words of an old lady: "Look, go over there.

Go past the red brick apartment, and there is the wall to the east. Berlin, behind the wall, have you been to that city?"

At this point, readers can find out humorously that the old woman didn't know that this sick girl like a spring flower was because of the East

< p>West Berlin has a "Wailing Wall" that collapsed! Stories are always the best because they have love in them. The best love story

The story is that she does not come from cumbersome entanglements. Sanmao's handling of such plots is always like a collision of stones and fire. The sparks are bright, but the effort is not visible. It is true that governing a big country is like cooking a small delicacy.

Regardless of whether it is true or false, life is like this, how can it not be happy!
