Sanqiu One Day: Without an ill-fated life, there would be no endless jokes.
A joke goes like this: "What makes you unhappy? This makes me very happy? "
Well, it doesn't sound very kind to base your happiness on the pain of others. This kind of thing happens between friends.
However, under the boutique, this is not wrong.
How many jokes are funny, not embarrassing and sad things for others?
How many people have become the talk and jokes of others after dinner under the teasing of fate?
Therefore, we often use the phrase "don't let people see jokes" to urge ourselves to be cautious.
However, after reading Liu Zhenyun's "Sanqiu in a Day", you will realize more deeply that the biggest joke with you is fate itself.
With a wave of his hand, it has already arranged your previous life's troops and firmly grasped them.
What can't escape has become a joke in the eyes of others, but what can escape has become a scar in my heart.
Anyone who is familiar with Liu Zhenyun's literary works will be deeply fascinated by his relaxed and humorous style.
He is good at revealing the unfathomable nature of human nature and the nature of human destiny with black humor.
He created many excellent and thought-provoking works, among which "One sentence is worth ten thousand sentences" won him the Mao Dun Literature Prize in one fell swoop.
Sanqiu in a Day is his latest work published on 20021,which is regarded as an upgraded version of a sentence with a top of 10,000 sentences. The novel uses the magical style of realism to describe for us the similar but different lives of father and son, as well as the inextricable connection between man and his hometown.
Teacher Liu Zhenyun's inspiration and original intention to create "Sanqiu in a Day" came from some paintings that others thought were meaningless and without nutrition.
But these paintings are regarded as treasures by Liu Shu himself, and he often tells the contents and stories in the paintings to interested authors. But after Uncle Liu died, the family burned these "useless" paintings as waste paper.
In memory of his sixth uncle, the author connected these seemingly unrelated and illusory paintings with their stories to form this book "Sanqiu in a Day".
The main body of the novel is neatly divided into two parts according to the names of the mother "cherry" and the protagonist "light", which tells the changeable fate of two generations.
Chen Changjie, Li Yansheng and Cherry were all actors in Jinxian Henan Opera Troupe at that time, and their masterpiece The Legend of the White Snake was quite famous in the local area.
In the play, Li Yansheng plays Xu Xian, cherry is the white snake, and Chen Changjie is the Fahai who defeats Yuanyang.
In the real life outside the play, Fahai Chen Changjie and White Snake Cherry came together and gave birth to a son. His real name was "Hanlin" (the name of Xu Xian's son and White Snake's son), which was later renamed "Guangming" by his grandmother.
Later, the troupe was dissolved, and the three of them turned around several times. Finally, Cherie and Chen Changjie went to the factory as workers, and Li Yansheng became a shop assistant in the grocery store.
After marriage, Chen Changjie and Cherie were unhappy, because after quarreling with a handful of leeks, Cherie hanged himself. In order to avoid gossip, Chen Changjie left Yanjin with her 3-year-old son, Bright, to join his uncle in Wuhan.
Chen Changjie, who arrived in Wuhan, entered the locomotive depot on the recommendation of his uncle and became a fireman. Later, it was introduced that she married Qin Jiaying, who brought a woman soon after the divorce, and reorganized her family.
At the same time, the author used magic to insert the late cherry into Li Yansheng's body, and followed her to Wuhan to find Chen Changjie and help her move the grave. As a result, because taking care of her son was posted on the photo, Qin Jiaying had it nailed to the door panel by superstitious methods. After being rescued by his son, the photo was thrown into the rolling Yangtze River.
And this magical and secret past is buried in my heart by the young light. I have never mentioned it to anyone, even my closest grandmother, who always likes to tell him stories.
Because her grandmother died of illness, 6-year-old Liangliang couldn't restrain her inner grief. She bought a train ticket with the only 30 yuan money and wanted to go back to her hometown to see her off. As a result, I took the wrong station and went in the wrong direction, begging all the way along the railway tracks and returned to my hometown of Yanjin. This story is also exaggerated.
Brett didn't see grandma for the last time, but she has been in Yanjin ever since. His father Chen Changjie raised him in the home of his former friend Li Yansheng.
Until Guangming went to high school, Chen Changjie was found by Qin Jiaying because he secretly paid Li Yansheng living expenses every month, and was forced to cut off the supply.
As a result, Brett dropped out of school as a freshman and went to Marshal Tian Peng's restaurant as an apprentice to stew pig's trotters. After that, I met Ma Xiaomeng who didn't go to college. After many twists and turns, they got married.
After marriage, Ma Xiaomeng was exposed by a friend who drifted north together. The whole actor knows that Ma Xiaomeng uses his body to make money.
After Ma Xiaomeng hanged himself, Brett saved his wife in time and left Yanjin again. They went all the way west and started a new life in Xi 'an.
Relying on the skill of stewing pig's trotters, the couple opened the "Marshal Tian Peng" restaurant in Xi 'an. Twenty years later, Guangming, who knows his destiny, became the "Manager Chen" who opened six branches.
Twenty years later, after a bright and bumpy half life, I became a person who gave back.
Chen Changjie, a retired father, suffered from chronic diseases and was hospitalized for a long time. Bright word, bear all the medical expenses. Faced with his father's remorse and his mother's guilt, Brett accepted everything without complaint.
The reconstruction of hometown needs to be moved to the ancestral grave in a unified way. As a descendant of this branch, Bright returned to her long-lost hometown. Although things have changed, it still reminds me of my mother and grandmother.
And those who have hurt themselves seem to be arranged by fate, each with its own place to go and its own retribution.
When he finally hung the plaque of "One Day Sanqiu" in the restaurant, he seemed to realize the ups and downs of life, which was just a joke of Sanqiu and Sanqiu day after day.
When we feel the tragic life of the protagonist Chen Mingliang, he always seems to be forbearing, indifferent and silent.
Children who lost their mothers from childhood and grew up in a reorganized family environment are always more introverted and mature than their peers.
The teenager was forced to drop out of school and go to the fate of riff-raff, which made him face up to his fate and observe the sufferings of the world, but he never bowed to life.
As adults, they appreciate each other and come from the same bitter experience, which opens the door to love and marriage, but they are severely slapped by life. But he didn't give up his lover, let alone himself.
I have to say that these experiences crushed by life on the ground became the stepping stone to become "Manager Chen".
What impressed me deeply was the two staggered lives of Liang and his classmate Guo Zikai.
Guo Zitao's father is a fortune teller, known as the former prime minister, and a street sweeper. Guo Zikai and Liang have bad backgrounds, but they are both spontaneous people.
Bright has always been better than Guo Zikai. If Brett hadn't dropped out of school voluntarily, Guo Zikai might have been admitted to Beijing as a graduate student, went to Britain to study, and even married a foreign daughter-in-law and settled abroad, becoming Chen Mingliang.
However, it happened that nature made people.
When Guo Zikai passed by Xi 'an, he had a drink with Brett, who had just opened his first restaurant there through hardships, to catch up, and he still had the reference books that Brett left him.
The difference is that when they went back to their hometown to visit Guo Zikai's father after 20 years of light, they chatted by video.
At that time, Brett had become a big boss and a successful person in the eyes of others, and there was no problem where he needed to contribute his own money.
Guo Zikai, on the other hand, seems unable to take his old father abroad and visit his father and hometown for the time being.
The mouth is talking about cultural differences, but who can tell if this is human nature?
Different fates are just different jokes.
The folklore of "Hua Erniang" is a main thread running through the whole novel.
"Hua Erniang" is a fictional character about the source of humor who plays Jin Ren. She always appears randomly in someone's dream and asks you to tell her a joke.
She was amused by her jokes and gave you a sweet red persimmon. If it's not funny, let you drink hot soup behind her back, and she will become a mountain and take your life away.
Therefore, most local people can tell jokes and love to tell jokes, which is a life-saving skill.
But "Hua Erniang" has been playing Jinsheng for 3000 years. Where did the locals get so many jokes?
Isn't it because of you and me that he weaves endless jokes in the endless river of fate?
Ironically, many sad memories were released as jokes.
When "Hua Ernian" found Chen Mingliang, Bright joked that his wife Ma Xiaomeng had used her body to do business.
I escaped, but my heart was scratched. Tell your own shadow as a joke, and you will become a joke.
The "Hua Erniang" who has stayed here for a long time, waiting for a long-gone Hua Erlang, has become a tacit joke of the local people.
The author's profound literary foundation can be seen in his wise and humorous writing and concise and profound satire.
Between reality and illusion, it is the understanding of human nature and the tolerance of life.
Sometimes I think that one day in Sanqiu, it is not sweet to laugh at life and treat it as a joke.
