A Dream of Red Mansions when Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden. ...

What did Granny Liu write as soon as she entered Guo Rongfu?

The story is extremely simple. This is also the characteristic of the whole Dream of Red Mansions. Grandma's daughter and son-in-law have a hard time, and "winter affairs" are not appropriate. Grandma took Banel and climbed to the Wangs' house by relying on the previous history. I met Xifeng under the introduction of Zhou Rui's family. Xifeng understood her intention and finally gave grandma twenty taels of silver.

To say that this plot is really unremarkable. A dream of red mansions has absolutely no twists and turns. The story of A Dream of Red Mansions is characterized by simplicity and truth. Never agree with vulgar works, such as "slandering the monarch, or belittling the people's wives and daughters, committing adultery and cruelty", or "romantic pen and ink, obscene and foul-smelling, killing pen and ink, the son of bad people". This is the most unique feature of Cao Xueqin's Dream of Red Mansions.

A simple granny Liu entered Guo Rongfu, which may not have been written by others, but it is vivid and interesting in Cao Xueqin's works.

As we know, a person living in society must have a personal identity. And everyone has different identities at different times, different places and different environments. In the unit, we may be managers, accountants, managers and engineers; In the family, we are children before parents, parents before children, wives after husbands, husbands after wives; In the store, we are customers; In the hospital, we are patients; In the park, we are tourists; In the bookstore, we are readers; In the cinema, we are the audience; Under the stage, we are voters; On the stage, we represent ...

As long as there is contact between people, everyone should have a corresponding identity. As long as we see two people meet and communicate on the same issue, then they must have their own identity as the basis. Even a policeman, a thief, a creditor and a gambler ...

Then, when Granny Liu met Wang Xifeng, when an old lady in the countryside met a noble stewardess, in what capacity did they start this conversation? What meeting is this?

Is this a reunion of long-lost relatives? Is this a visit from a distant friend? Is this a creditor's visit for his own rights and interests? Neither! This is a poor woman, because her family can't spend the winter begging at the waiting door of the noble who climbed up that year! It's just that the begging place has changed from the streets of Shi Jing to the inner courtyard of the back door.

The meeting and conversation between grandma and Xifeng were wonderful. Let's savor the original:

Grandma finally met Xifeng. "-feng didn't take tea, also didn't look up. She just dusted the stove and asked slowly, "Why don't you come in?" "。 What a great power this is!

I saw my grandmother standing below. "I'm too busy to get up. I greeted her with a big smile when I didn't get up, and I was angry that Zhou Rui's family didn't say it earlier. " "I was too busy to get up, but I still didn't get up." Xifeng didn't want to lose her manners and identity, so the performance was very decent.

The next conversation is endless.

Feng said with a smile, "My relatives don't move around very often. They are distant. What do you know? You bother us and refuse to come often. The little man who doesn't know is like no one in our eyes. "

Xifeng's jokes are preconceived. She attacks rather than defends. On such an occasion, it is natural to lose everyone's demeanor and the decency of waiting for the door. Although condescending, we must first blame ourselves with humility and courtesy. The tone is to blame grandma's family for "not walking around much" and "abandoning us", so that others mistakenly think that there is no one in our eyes. Actually, it is to express an attitude of not abandoning grandma. Obviously, out of politeness, grandma's visit always gives her some face.

Grandma Liu hit the nail on the head. Grandma Liu hurried to recite the Buddha and said, "Our family is hard and we can't afford to walk. We don't have to call an aunt when we come here. We don't even look like a housekeeper. "

Although what grandma said is not direct, it does not lose the simple nature of the cultivator. Exposed Xifeng's hypocrisy to her face. How can we respect our country people living in a deep house? We just "came here" with rough skin and "didn't call aunt". Will the "housekeeper" believe that you have relatives like me?

Xifeng's manners were stripped to her face, so she was naturally uncomfortable. However, controlling scenes and keeping a sense of proportion are Feng's specialties. Feng said with a smile: "This is not disgusting. However, relying on my grandfather's name, I became a poor official. Who has what? Just an old skeleton. As the saying goes, there are three poor relatives in the imperial court, not to mention you and me. "

The first sentence, first beat grandma's arrogance, you are disgusting to come here! The following words are not only true, but also reveal some mutual affection. The words are sincere and reasonable. The rich and the poor may not have such a big gap. They live under the same blue sky. Can they really take care of each other? Xifeng's modesty and sincerity touched grandma. Of course, you may think this statement is equally hypocritical, or even more hypocritical. But after all, it's not rejecting grandma.

Perhaps this is really fate. From then on, Grandma and Xifeng began an extraordinary friendship. It's sad to think of the eighties, when grandma lost everything to save Qiaojie!

After this "war of words", Zhou Rui's family asked Mrs. Wang for instructions and agreed to Xi's reception. Zhou Rui's family hinted that grandma explained the purpose of her visit.

Granny Liu understood, blushed before she spoke, trying to keep silent. Why did she come today? I had to endure shame and say, "When I first met my aunt today, I shouldn't have said anything. I came all the way to your old place, and I have something to say. "

Jia's words were interrupted by Jia Rong's arrival. The fat group said, "The old lady has the heart to bear the burden of humiliation, so she will recruit her sister later if she has something to do." Endure humiliation means that grandma is not shameless, but forced by life. Grandma is a diligent and decent person. Her inner sense of responsibility, emotional understanding and gratitude are the reasons why she finally got the "big sister job".

After Jia Rong left, grandma finally spoke.

Granny Liu said calmly, "I brought your nephew here today, not because his old mother is at home and doesn't even have food." If it is cold today, the more I feel that I have no style, and I have to bring your nephew to support you. " Then he pushed the board and said, "How did your father teach you to come home? Send us to do evil things? Just eat fruit. "

Grandma at this time, a little panic. I can see that grandma is very nervous when she opens her mouth. A person with a sense of shame is not easy to ask for.

Xifeng's last words to grandma were graceful and generous, especially the "hard place to go", which also revealed the difficulty of the nobles, that is, giving alms to grandma and saving her face. Grandma, I'm glad you came.

Grandma got twenty taels of silver. From the thirty-ninth time after the crab feast, grandma calculated that "one * * * more than twenty taels of silver" and "this meal is enough for our banker to live for a year." It shows that twenty taels of silver is not a decimal for grandma, and it is enough for the whole family to live. According to Ma Ruifang's research, Pu Songling, who was almost contemporary with Cao Xueqin, earned seven taels of silver a year as a private school teacher. It can be seen that twenty taels is enough for grandma's family, not alone. This time, Xifeng's contribution is still relatively heavy.

Third, Granny Liu's "Wandering" Grand View Garden

Granny Liu's visit to the Grand View Garden is the most important story in A Dream of Red Mansions.

The novel returns from the 39th to the 42nd, and it takes more than three times to describe the scene of an old woman from the countryside entering Jia's house and visiting the Grand View Garden.

Sometimes life is so contradictory. As a "mothering villa", the Grand View Garden was prepared for Jia Yuanchun, an unparalleled imperial concubine. She only chose Fengzao Palace. However, she didn't get much comfort, just walked by very superficially, which showed that it was too "extravagant". Its exquisiteness and richness actually let granny Liu walk in the painting.

Cao Xueqin used Granny Liu's second visit to Jia's house to bring this character to life.

Granny Liu's role is definitely not a simple "realism". In addition to realism, he also added Cao Xueqin's unique romantic brushwork. In real life, Granny Liu is not everywhere. Granny Liu is indeed Cao Xueqin's idealism. Can you really get an ideal world full of granny Liu?

Granny Liu's characterization focuses on all kinds of interesting things that happened during her second visit to Jiafu and Daguan Garden.

Cao Xueqin's description of Liu Gui makes us know a completely different state of life.

Granny Liu met the old lady and the sisters. Although she is a savage in the village, she has some knowledge. Besides, she is older and more worldly-wise, and she is also happy to meet the first lady. The second time she saw these brothers and sisters, she liked to hear them, so she made up some words.

Grandma's sophistication and wit are perfect. The first story she told about "a girl smoking firewood" was interrupted by the fire; Then he added a story about a 90-year-old grandmother who came to find her son. The story of this evening really met the concerns of the old lady and Mrs. Wang, and even Mrs. Wang listened to it.

Grandma is full of "Amitabha Buddha" and "I Buddha" and is a devout Buddhist. She took advantage of the karma psychology of a rich boy yearning for peace and doing good deeds, which not only skillfully praised Buddha and spread Buddhist thoughts, but also catered to the expectations of a group of experienced old ladies Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang, killing two birds with one stone. At the same time, she made it seem true and flawless. Make the spoony person like Baoyu, and get to the bottom of it, which shows grandma's success.

It shows that grandma is not simply good at flattery, but has won the psychology of official families.

The next day's visit to the Grand View Garden was even more exciting.

First, she wore flowers, and Xifeng put them in grandma's head. Grandma was not angry, but smiled and said, "I don't know what I did here." I am so decent today. " He also said: "Although I am old, I was also very romantic when I was young. I love a pollen, and I am happy when I am old today. " There is humor and simplicity in self-mockery. Grandma's generosity is obviously not fake. When she looked in the mirror at Qi Yuan Hong's house, she forgot all the flowers and even blamed her mother, "You are too ignorant to see the world. If you see flowers in this garden, you won't wear them anyway. " Grandma wore a flower to pave the way for her to make a woman's quilt.

The road map for visiting the Grand View Garden is actually very intriguing. Obviously, the path of grandma's visit does not match the layout of the Grand View Garden. This shows that A Dream of Red Mansions is definitely not naturalism, and all the plots have been carefully designed and arranged.

Jia Mu and Grandma go to Xiaoxiang Pavilion first. Daiyu's residence is in grandma's eyes. "It's like a young lady's embroidery room, but it's even better than that thin study." Yes, Yuan He is "that young lady's embroidery room, so particular? I feel like I'm in the heavenly palace. " Cross reference. It happened that Baoyu and Daiyu made a clever contrast in taste.

When Granny Liu was in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Daiyu said nothing, which showed her dissatisfaction with the visitors. Only in this way, the discussion about "Mother Locust" and Jia Mu "only two of her" is abhorrent. Come back drunk, let's go to their house and complain.

At the second stop, Autumn Frost Zhai, grandma staged a comedy of "eating like a cow". Yuanyang and Xifeng discussed it in advance and told grandma about it. The sentence "girl is at ease" shows that grandma got the message. Grandma is not only sophisticated, but also good at acting. In the laughter of the room, she gained joy. Some people think that grandma is "self-contemptuous and self-contemptuous", and perhaps only grandma knows the taste.

I visited Tanchun's bedroom, passed Bambusa oblata, visited Wu Heng Garden like a snow cave, and then went to Zhu Jin Pavilion. Here, Yuanyang's "three teeth" and grandma's performance also reached a climax. Grandma is busy ordering food and drinking. The melodious music came from Lianhua Mountain, and Granny Liu "smelled this music, and wine danced more", which led to Daiyu's play of "playing sacred music every day, and all animals danced, and now it is only a cow's ear".

The banquet of a noble family in Houmen attracted the joy of a poor woman, Grandma Liu, dancing. Where others have money, there is no jealousy, resentment and anger, but the joy of falling in love. This is grandma Liu's real life. It seems that wealth and wealth do not necessarily bring joy. True happiness comes from her broad mind.

Of course, the words in the jade palace are not about grandma, but about Baoyu and Miaoyu. I won't go into details here.

Grandma Liu's joke didn't end there. Grandma recognized the word "Jade Emperor Hall" under the signboard of "Mothering Mountain Villa". After a burst of abdominal ringing, she had to take off her pants.

As a guest of Jia's family, Granny Liu's status as a rural woman has become the object of Jia's ostentation, ostentation, gag and banter. And Liu Gui's kindness, sophistication, agility and fluency make this scene perfectly staged, each with its own merits. The so-called wealth is to have a foil to set off. This is wealth, superiority and satisfaction. Even Grandmother Jia has visited more than half of the garden, which shows how much she enjoys herself. Ada, on the other hand, not only earned a considerable income, but also received ridicule from others and taught the rich a lesson. What's the point of those illusory glories? In the eyes of the old woman, it's just a convenient place to take off your pants. Really beautiful!

Finally, Granny Liu went to the most unlikely place in her life, Mr Bao's bedroom. After careful arrangement and design, Cao Xueqin skillfully let the grandmother who lost her way after drinking sit on Mr. Bao's bed, and also completed the task of reflecting the character's personality to us through the description of the bedroom furnishings.

Fourth, talk about the board

Grandma has been followed by a child: Banel. He deserves special mention here.

When the family was discussing how to get into Jia's house, the dog said to his grandmother, "I'll teach your old man a way. You take your grandson and go to Zhou Rui's room first." If you meet him, it will be interesting. "

Why does the dog want grandma to wear a board? Why are you looking for Zhou Rui with a room?

Grandma's "snoring" trip is not without difficulties. In Houmen Deep House, it is impossible to talk and behave as freely as at home. At the right time and place, Banel will naturally play his role. Because children are young and ignorant, Banel will have children's recognition and timidity, but there will be no inferiority and fear in front of wealth.

Look for Zhou Rui, a room, someone introduced, or you have to be turned away.

"Grandma saw Xifeng just now," Banel hid behind his back, trying to coax him out to kowtow. It would be embarrassing if he refused to die. However, Banel's twisting has attracted people's attention, reducing the contrast caused by the different status between Grandma and Xifeng.

Feng explained the purpose of her coming in front of her, but grandma didn't know. She crustily skin of head and said:

"Today I brought your nephew, not for anything else, because he Lao tze niang at home, doesn't even have a meal. If it is cold today, the more I feel that I have no style, and I have to bring your nephew to support you. " Then he pushed the board and said, "How did your father teach you to come home? Send us to do evil things? Just eat fruit. "

Banel became a cover for begging here, buffering grandma's words and making people feel less abrupt. Grandma can't clap her breast and say, "The old woman wants 20 taels of silver, but you won't give it?" It's not begging, but it looks like robbery. There's really no way to make an ignorant child act as this excuse. It can be seen that the poor should also pay attention to the way and scale of begging.

That's right, Zhou Ruigu on one side also feels inappropriate:

"My mother! Why didn't you say anything when you saw him? Open your mouth and it will be your nephew. If I say that I am not afraid of your annoyance, I will kiss my nephew, but I will speak softly. Uncle Rong is his serious nephew. How did he run out of such a nephew again? "

Grandma's answer is very clever:

"My sister-in-law, when I first met him, I loved him so much that I couldn't talk about it."

Zhou Rui's family can't know grandma's confusion, helplessness and inner suffering when begging.

Grandma came into Jia's house and came.

This grandmother, who clings to a famous family, has also opened her grandson's eyes. There is only one scene in Banel that deserves attention:

He traded bergamot for Qiaojie's grapefruit. This is a symbolic description. After Jia's defeat, Grandma saved Qiaojie and promoted the marriage between Banel and Qiaojie. A dream of red mansions likes mystery. What really achieved their marriage was not bergamot or grapefruit, but grandma's kind heart.

5. Grandma Liu's class is inconclusive.

In 1950s, a great event happened in the research history of A Dream of Red Mansions. Due to the personal intervention of the people's leaders, this debate on studying a novel has evolved into a political and ideological struggle, forming an overwhelming torrent of criticism. The ideas formed during this period are also very intriguing.

The understanding of A Dream of Red Mansions is defined as "describing the process of the decline and collapse of the four families of Jia, Wang, Xue and Shi, represented by Jia's family, under the impact of increasingly fierce class struggle." Granny Liu, as a "witness to the rise and fall of the Jia family", "pointed out the disparity between the rich and the poor, the nobility and the lowliness at that time, exposed and criticized the evil and decay of the feudal aristocratic life, and reflected the inevitable collapse trend of the Jia family in the increasingly intensified class struggle."

A Dream of Red Mansions is a particularly controversial book. Granny Liu is no exception. Granny Liu's class analysis is also controversial.

In class society, people's status is determined by the amount of property they own and the power they occupy. When Mr. Liu walked into Guo Rong Building, the difference between two people of different classes was immediately revealed.

Granny Liu lives in poverty and has a humble position. She is an exploited and oppressed person, a "poor peasant and lower middle peasant", and belongs to the ruling class or the oppressed proletariat and peasant class. There should be no problem. And granny Liu's performances in Jia's family are not in line with the class she should represent. Her class attribute has also been questioned.

Feng said to:

Mr. Liu grew up in the countryside, but he doesn't look like a poor farmer. He may be a rich farmer or a small landowner.

The old gentleman has been to some big bureaucratic landlords' houses, and he has rich social experience and is very sophisticated.

(3) When the old man was playing, she had lived in the son-in-law Wang Dog's house for a long time, so the environment of the Wang family became her living environment. The Wangs used to be a small bureaucratic landlord family. They established a relationship with the big bureaucratic landlord and admitted their family. Although her son-in-law was reduced to a farmer, he still lived a comfortable life.

According to the above analysis, I think: "The old gentleman is a complicated figure; Of course, she also participates in labor, but she still has a distance from real farmers. "

The author doesn't want Granny Liu to be a "farmer" any more.

The author's conclusion is: "From the above simple analysis, we can see that the old gentleman is not a figure with much positive significance. She is not a real working people, so she can't find the integrity of working people and the noble quality of Geng Jie. "

Some authors even think that grandma should belong to the declining landlord and comprador class according to her ancestors (actually dogs) who used to be small officials and attached to the Wang family.

What's wrong with Granny Liu?

In the revolutionary ideal era of the last century, there are two main ways to analyze the people's class.

The first is the economic basic theory and the family lineage theory. A person's class composition depends on his social status and economic income. Because wealth is the result of exploitation. Once a person and a family are rich, they can basically be characterized as exploiting classes. Of course, it is difficult for a declining aristocratic family to wash away the elements of the exploiting classes. Because in reality, he may have declined, but his once rich life gave him a criminal history of exploiting others. Therefore, before he was completely liquidated, it was a change in his economic status, which could not wash away the elements of his exploiting class.

This makes us have trouble in analyzing Granny Liu's class composition.

Granny Liu's abject poverty makes us think that she is an exploited class. However, she got "twenty taels of silver" for nothing by means of "beating". This not only completely lost the class nature of "working people", but also freed her from extreme poverty.

If "twenty taels of silver" is barely enough, it is not "getting rid of poverty and getting rich"; Although "begging" is also something for nothing, it is pitiful and worthy of sympathy after all, so granny Liu's second visit to Jia's house can't be justified anyway. She won the favor of Jia family through pleasure, ingratiation and bring disgrace to oneself. One is to flatter the Jia family and obey Wang Xifeng. Finally, I got a gift of two pieces of silver from Mrs. Wang 120, as well as clothes, silks and satins, snacks and so on. There is even a small cover clock from Baoyu. If Yuanyang turns to Mrs. Wang, grandma can "either do a small business or buy a few acres of land." With such a rich income, can she still be called a "poor lower-middle peasant" or a "proletariat"? Her class composition is a big problem.

Of course, we can continue to pursue it. Granny Liu also has the story of visiting Jia's home three times. Finally, she spent all her money to save Qiaojie from the magic cave. Although we can't see the original text of this story, we can basically draw a conclusion according to the judgment, comment on writing and other materials. Granny Liu, who made a small fortune with the support of the Jia family, finally returned to poverty and embarrassment. How should grandma Liu's class composition be divided at this time?

The division of class composition by economic status and bloodline theory is only one aspect. In the revolutionary ideal era, a more important criterion for the division of class composition is "the class nature of thought". That is to divide a person's ideological consciousness and see if he has reached the ideological standard of the proletariat.

A person with the status of exploiting class may have "class consciousness" about his own class. Peng Pai, the early outstanding leader of China, is an example.

However, it is entirely possible for a worker who is in a position of exploitation and oppression to have the ideology of the exploiting class. Therefore, in the revolutionary movement of ideology and culture, it is very important to "talk privately for a while" and "prefer socialist grass to capitalist seedlings". It has become the core of ideological struggle and an important benchmark to define class composition to analyze one's own thoughts, tap the deepest part of the soul and fight against the thoughts of the exploiting class. Although a person's identity is an important criterion to define his class composition, the "class consciousness" in his soul is more important.

Granny Liu's "class consciousness" obviously can't meet the requirements. The most important premise of class struggle is the understanding of the cruel nature of the exploiters, the hatred of the exploitation system and the profound hatred of the exploiters. It is precisely because of this hatred that the revolution in which one class overthrew another class can rise.

And granny Liu? What is presented to the exploiting class is a coquetry and flattering face.

In the twentieth episode of On Xifeng, granny Liu was considered as a clown in the game of the aristocratic class, and once I entered the Grand View Garden, I was in the clown position arranged by Lian Ermao, which reminded me of the court clown described by the realistic painter Matejko.

Qing Xu grafted Wang Chaowen's point of view, he said in the article:

Grandma Liu is also a tragic figure, just like Ah Q's tragic character is expressed in the form of comedy, which is also sad. Moreover, her tragedy is not superficial, not her own, but the tragedy of the whole feudal Confucian cultural psychology attached to China people, especially farmers, for thousands of years-Lu Xun once defined it as "national inferiority". In my opinion, this inferiority complex is first manifested in the deep-rooted "servility".

Xu Wen summarized Granny Liu's "servility" as four points:

1, circuitous tactics, beating around the bush

2. Waiting for an opportunity to ask for remuneration, so as to facilitate others and yourself.

3, take part in accidental amusement, improvise and belittle yourself.

4, rare and strange, old and strong, make a fool of yourself.

Although the author did not label grandma as a class, it is not difficult to see that the author's analysis of grandma Liu is no different from the class analysis theory of that year. The author even thinks that Cao Xueqin's brushwork is just to expose this "national inferiority":

Cao Xueqin had no experience and understanding of living in Lu Xun's era. Of course, he can't fully reveal the essence of this inferiority complex. However, in Granny Liu, Cao Xueqin really reveals the most basic connotation of national inferiority with a realistic pen.

Yuan Hongchang's argument is more straightforward:

Although, as a witness to the history of the rise and fall of the four major families, the old man just sighed and did not feel angry. In particular, he despises himself, is willing to be teased by these parasites for fun, and is grateful to be given some leftovers. Of course he won't get up and overthrow the Jia family. However, the objective facts reflected in A Dream of Red Mansions through her three visits to Guo Rongfu show that it is time for history to tear down the houses of four big families, tear up this "feast of human flesh" and eliminate these parasites.

Granny Liu's attitude in front of Jia's house shows that she has no "class consciousness" of her own class, but is full of "national inferiority" and belittles her "servility". The great cause of class struggle cannot be expected to be accomplished by such a person with low consciousness.

Although it can't be simply said that Granny Liu has the idea of "exploiting the class", at least, she didn't resist. She didn't resist. She is willing to be a "female follower" and a "female movie", and is willing to make peace with the exploiting classes, even at the expense of losing her personality. There is no proletarian hatred in her heart, no spirit of changing the world, no heroic pride of the exploited and oppressed revolution. How to define the class composition of such a rural old lady?

Now class analysis no longer occupies the mainstream of ideology, but the views of historical determinists have not retreated. When we rethink Granny Liu's class attribute, the high-profile theory of class struggle still echoes in our ears.

Using today's point of view to analyze social history and class analysis of human nature still gives us a lot of enlightenment. At least we know that Cao Xueqin doesn't understand class struggle. Granny Liu has no "class consciousness". Granny Liu's class composition is not so easy to divide. Therefore, I call it "Granny Liu's class is undecided" or "Liu Xue" for short.

People often say that love is the eternal theme of literature. In A Dream of Red Mansions, Jia Qiang and Lingguan, Jia Yun and Xiaohong, and even Baoyu and Daiyu wrote many love stories. However, love is not the only theme of A Dream of Red Mansions. Grandma Liu, for example, has nothing to do with any love.

But granny Liu is not a simple person. What she wants to reveal is the most eternal theme of mankind: inequality between the rich and the poor.

Human nature is definitely not pursuing equality, but pursuing differences. If a person is the same as others in everything, he must be dissatisfied with himself and feel bored. People's instinct is to be different, to surpass others, and to pursue a sense of superiority beyond others. This sense of superiority may be embodied through the possession of material wealth, personal honor, moral evaluation and even spiritual connotation. Personal honor is multifaceted, such as fame, rank, popularity, popularity and so on. Moral evaluation means that people hope to reach a noble moral standard under the mainstream consciousness of society, which will make people pursue a kind of moral self-discipline and win the moral praise of society, thus obtaining pleasure; Spiritual connotation pays more attention to the inner spiritual experience, which is mainly manifested in the belief and obsession with religion or an ideology. Through inner cultivation and the appeasement of faith, we can gain spiritual pleasure and obtain a sense of superiority different from ordinary people.

Confucius said that people "do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequality". This inequality should not be understood as difference. Those who think it is "unequal" actually think it is unfair. If you do more and get exactly the same as others, this person will also think it is "unfair"

Therefore, the most important thing for people is that they are different from others. This is consistent with the fact that life exists as an individual and human spirit is completely free. Only under the condition of freedom and individual integrity can a person become a complete self. This is also in line with the diversity of values and the incommensurability of human values.

Granny Liu and grandmother Jia, two old women with different life circumstances, are by no means the products of a certain era. Ten thousand years later, the same is true, but in different forms.

Faced with this reality, there must be a group of ordinary people and incompetent people who are defeated in the competition. They are either economically poor, lowly, morally despicable or spiritually empty and bored. As long as you fail in various competitions, it is the contrast of others' sense of superiority. Granny Liu is the most common comparison. She is a representative of low economic status and material life.

No one wants to be a contrast, after all, morality can't be eaten. Confucius said, "I have never seen goodness as a good lover." Everyone is realistic.

A history of China, according to Jia Yucun's understanding, is "winners and losers". Endless competition, ruthless killing. Full of doubts about justice and dissatisfaction with poverty, they rose up and took the lead in the revolution, "knocking down all kinds of ghosts and gods" and "princes would rather have seeds"! The world is so dark and human feelings are so cool thin, what are you waiting for? "Brothers, revolution!"

Grandma Liu doesn't understand class struggle and grandma doesn't understand revolution. Jia Fu reflects her poverty, but not her "dancing" happiness. Who can take away what from this world, and who can have eternal wealth and fame? "Where is there no fragrant grass in ancient and modern times?" In the end, everyone is just dust returning to nature. Why care about the prosperity of this life?

Grandma doesn't want to use other people's blood donation to achieve her glory. She would rather seek happiness in humility. Grandma's tolerance and generosity finally saved Qiaojie.

This is not only reminiscent of Gu Zhun's words: "There is no blood on my hands". Only those who pursue freedom can understand true human nature. Liberals don't trade other people's blood for their ideals. Why? Because a liberal yearns for freedom, he must give others freedom.

The bitterness of life can be seen everywhere. A Dream of Red Mansions shows endless life tragedies. The twelve beauties of the twelve women in Jinling can't get rid of the fate of "a thousand red holes (crying)" and "Wan Yan sharing a cup (sadness)". Why not give yourself more happiness and others more tolerance like grandma?

Life may not be without sadness, pain and tears, but we can still live without hatred. Hatred is perhaps the most worthless emotion in the world. Yu Pingbo said that A Dream of Red Mansions is "complaining without anger", which is the most concentrated expression, and so is Granny Liu. This is the true meaning of Cao Xueqin's "bitter tears".

A Dream of Red Mansions also shows us the brilliance of human nature, rather than a dead silence. In the wilderness of "White Land is Really Clean", we can still vaguely see grandma coming home with Qiaojie.
