What kind of "I" image has Hometown created?

1, Runtu (the protagonist of the article): Young Runtu watched melons and thorns on the moonlit night, pretending to catch birds, and his heart was "full of strange things", which was the hero I envied and yearned for when I was a child. Twenty years later, the hard life made him dull and numb. His "purple round face has turned gray and yellow" and his "red and round hands" have become "thick, stupid and cracked like pine bark".

What is even more frightening is the change in his heart. He met a long-lost "I" and called it "the master". Facing the reality of suffering, I only hope to pray to God and worship Buddha. He is the representative of the working people in China who are struggling under the heavy pressure of life.

2. Yang Er's sister-in-law: Twenty years ago, Yang Er's sister-in-law was young and beautiful, so her tofu shop sold well and was called "tofu beauty"; Twenty years later, she became a "thin-footed compass" with prominent cheekbones and thin lips. She became selfish, sharp, greedy, snobbish, gossiping and trying to get something from my actions. Sister-in-law Yang Er is a typical vulgar ordinary citizen.

3. "I": The "I" in the novel has the shadow of the author, but it will never be equal to the author. "I" have been wandering in a foreign land and have always had good memories of my hometown. When I saw the decline and indifferent reality of my hometown, I was deeply sad and disappointed, but deep down, I still had a vision for the bright future of my hometown.

"I" have deep feelings for the leap soil, show sympathy and love for the working people, and deny the concept of hierarchy. "I" is an image of an intellectual who pursues a new life and is full of hope.
