Character Analysis of the Novel My Life

"My Life" - Reading the Sorrows and Joys of Little People

I have had a special feeling for Lao She's articles since I was a child. After reading it for the first time, I don’t understand it; after reading it again, I seem to understand it; after reading it a few times, I can’t put it down even more. After a while, I will take it out and read it, just like I have to go home every year during the holidays to find the feeling. The purpose of reading Lao She’s articles is also You have to look for that kind of continuous feeling that is like being pulled from the bottom of your heart - let's think of it as a kind of "little person" feeling!

——Inscription

Some people say that there are two kinds of people in this world-men and women; others say that there are two kinds of people in this world-good people and bad people; I think there are really only two kinds of people in this world - adults and villains. Everyone, don’t get me wrong. The adults I refer to here refer to big people, and the villains refer to small people. They are definitely not “gentlemen, villains” and the like, because I didn’t read any “gentlemen” in Lao She’s article. I didn't find any "villains". Dreaming back to the long history, it is always the big people who leave an impression on people. There were countless craftsmen who built the Epang Palace, but no one knows their names. They only know the First Emperor who presided over the construction and the Chu Overlord who burned it. Dujiangyan has benefited through the ages, and no one knows the names of the builders. The only name that remains in people's minds is "Chief Engineer" Li Bing. However, in the historical changes and social turbulences one after another, the participants are not only the big shots, but also thousands of little people! The power of little people cannot be ignored. I have always believed in this, so I like Lao She’s articles because in his articles I can find the “little people” I care about.

Lao She was born in a large courtyard in Beijing. He is a Manchu, but not a Manchu noble. He is just a poor family. This allows him to come into contact with people at the bottom of society. He knows the characters of "little people" well and is closely connected with the fate of people at the bottom of society.

"I read a lot of books when I was young. Although not many, it was enough to read "Seven Heroes and Five Righteousnesses" and "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"." This is the opening sentence of "In This Lifetime". It was a bit confusing at first. No one even knew "my" name, so he started to tell his own history, which seemed a bit abrupt. However, I slowly realized, oh, it turns out that "little people" always have no name or surname, not to mention, what's the use of having a name and a surname? It doesn’t appear in our history textbooks either. However, even though he has no name or surname, this "little man"'s narration still entered my heart.

"I" must be strong and confident. In "I"'s mind, I have always been smart. "I remember several passages from "Liao Zhai" and I can still speak them very well and beautifully. Not only did the listeners praise my good memory, but I also felt that I should be happy." Such a smart man has had a rough life. There are many disasters. My handwriting of "I" is not bad. I am confident that I can be a good "writer". But my hyphen is not as good as "I". People who can't even pronounce a whole sentence can be high-ranking officials. Why is "I" Can't? "I" had such a dream, but when I was fifteen years old, I was sent to be an apprentice by my family, which ran counter to my own ideals. Fortunately, "I" am not a pessimistic person. I am ranked number one in all five elements and eight works. "I" did not have any trouble with my family, so I just learned to decorate. Fortunately, it was the time of peace, and the decorator could not I was worried about not having enough food to eat. At that time, when a person died, the family would have to make a big fuss. In a year, if a dozen rich people died, the framers would have food and drink, not to mention that every household had to serve the gods. . With "my" craftsmanship, "I" thought I could settle down and support my family in Hukou. However, unfortunately, as the years changed, the paper posters no longer had any use, and "I" had to find another way to make a living. When I was learning to be a paper craftsman, my family told "me" that it would be fun for "me" to get married when I was twenty years old. "I" confidently thought that with "my" handsomeness, shrewdness and quickness in doing things , I will definitely be able to marry a pretty and neat wife and live a harmonious and sweet life, but God's will has caused my wife to abandon "me" and "my" senior brother and wander around the world. Although "I" likes to make jokes, this incident cost "I" most of my life. "I" can't even see the sun!

Finally, "I" figured it out, and "I" became a patrol officer again. "I" once again thought that I could be a good police chief wherever I went. However, after a long circuit, "I" also lost the position of inspector, and even used it to make a living. The position of "patrol officer" was not saved either.

The world is unpredictable and fate is unpredictable. "I" have been thinking about it since I was a child, but fate always tells me "but..." and "however...". Fortunately, "I" have a way. Humorous heart, if not, how will "I" face the rest of my life that I don't know how much suffering there will be?

People often say, "Everyone lives for one breath." Even a small person in a humble position should have his self-esteem. "I" like to make jokes, and "I" like to make fun of myself, but this kind of teasing contains a little helpless sigh. Pain, grievance and indignation are intertwined, but they are expressed with laughter. When laughter and tears meet in one place, you can't tell which is which... Even if you touch death, "I" will still laugh, "laugh' me" "With all my cleverness, I laugh at this surprisingly unfair world. I hope that when 'I' laugh to the end, the world will be different!" At the end of the article, the author made such a cry, haha, what a ridiculous cry. ah!

That’s all I can say!

"Little people" are always just "little people". Destiny is a very strange thing, elusive and impossible to grasp, especially for "little people". Just like in the movie "The Wandering Story of San Mao", San Mao and the teacher said after they were drunk: "I - I am a little trick, you - are also a little trick, and we - are all little tricks." Little tricks have their own destiny, The division commander finally committed suicide in fear of crime because of delaying the military situation. Look, little trick, he is actually like this!

Nowadays, success is preached everywhere, and the power of language is sometimes really terrifying. It blows bubbles in people’s minds, making these beautiful bubbles blow bigger and bigger, just like The colors on the surface of soap bubbles under the sunlight are generally colorful, which makes people marvel at its beauty. However, the danger also comes at this moment. The bubbles will burst after all. The liquid splashed after the soap bubbles burst will only make people cry at most. And when the bubble of "hope" in the heart bursts, it will bring people despair! As the saying goes: There is no greater sorrow than death. I'm afraid the "I" in "My Life" has already died!

Many people may say that the tragic fate of these "little people" is caused by society. Now we have escaped from the evil old society, but the "little people" still exist, and they are using their own Way to taste the warmth and coldness of the world. The most touching thing is the migrant workers who came to the city. Maybe when they were in the countryside, they were like "me", always "thinking" that things would be "like this", but in the end things turned out to be "like this". ? Maybe when they were young, they thought that in the future they would farm well at home, marry a wife, have a son, and live a good life. It was like a black joke in a junior high school politics textbook: a reporter interviewed a teenager who was herding sheep on the hillside. ,

Reporter: "What do you do by herding sheep?"

Sheep boy: "Make money."

Reporter: "What do you do by making money

Sheep-herding boy: "Get a wife. ”

Reporter: “What do you do with a wife?” ”

Sheep-herding boy: “Having a baby.” ”

Reporter: “What are you doing to give birth to a baby?” "

Sheep-herding boy: "Herding sheep. "

Look, you can never escape the life circle of a "little person".

With the reform and opening up, more and more migrant workers have come to work in cities. They have also " They thought they could make money, support their families, and make ends meet, but fate told them "but" again. The only thing they prayed for was probably that their children and grandchildren would get ahead in the future! But even the education that gives people the opportunity to get ahead is not It is completely fair. It is undeniable that nowadays, most of the children with good prospects have good family conditions. The superior family environment provides them with a larger platform. They have far more opportunities than the children of migrant workers. So when this generation of children grow up, maybe the children of migrant workers will become "migrant workers" and "little people" in the new era, just like in "In This Lifetime", "my" son finally He also became a patrolman, and "my" girl ended up marrying a patrolman! "Little people" can never escape the circle of "little people".

In "My Life", "I" "I hope that when "I" laughs to the last sound, the world will be different! The world will be different, but the "little people" will not disappear. We see that there are more and more "little people" in the world. "Little people" are performing scenes of joys and sorrows, interpreting their joys and sorrows!
