A word is worth ten thousand words.

After reading functional writing, I just read Liu Zhenyun's "One sentence is worth ten thousand sentences" a few days ago. Reading this book is also to respond to the recommendation of smart sister and learn Liu Zhenyun's writing style.

When writing, we abandon straightforward words to write characters, but use details to describe them, so that readers can feel the mood and characteristics of characters in the novel through details. Look at this novel of Mao Dun Literature Award with such questions.

This novel, known as China's version of One Hundred Years of Solitude, is Liu Zhenyun's mature and atmospheric work. The book was first published in March 2009, with 360,000 words. This book is divided into two parts: Chu Yan Jin Ji and Yan Hui Jin Ji. The first part tells the story of Yang Baishun, a lonely and helpless farmer in Henan Province in the early 20th century, who eloped with the silversmith next door. On the way, she lost her only adopted daughter, Qiao Ling, and had to go to play Jin to find her. The second half tells the story that Niu, the son of Qiaoling, the adopted daughter, also went out to find a wife who eloped with others.

Yang Baishun, the hero, wants to be undertaker like Luo Changli most. After he finally appeared in the film, he lived with Luo Changli anonymously, and his descendants were all descendants of Roche.

Niu, the protagonist in the second half, tried hard to find someone to talk to, and finally went to Zhang Chuhong who wanted to talk to him.

Most of the characters in the book are ordinary people at the lowest level in China, and the author can feel the truth of their identities, words and daily descriptions.

Through the first half of Yang Baishun, the protagonist, I also reflected on my past one-third of my life during reading. How many things are half done and how many things are hot for three minutes.

Reading novels sometimes means reading another self in parallel time and space.

A word is worth ten thousand words, and finally I seem to understand. One sentence refers to the one that is not said. What I want to say is worth pondering. If you want to understand it, what will happen after you understand it?

The book is full of melancholy tone, and talkative people and embarrassed people are like partners. Yang Baishun's father, Lao Yang Feng Ren, said that he and the old horse who was driving in Majiazhuang were good friends, and the old horse looked down on Lao Yang from the bottom of his heart. But the old horse told jokes and never left Lao Yang. Much like us in life, I love talking to you, but you don't take me seriously, saying that art comes from life!

In the lower part, Niu Aiguo, the hero of Yanjin, cheated twice, was caught for the first time and eloped directly for the second time. There is nowhere to tell this feeling of timidity and depression, but I have no choice but to find my own growth after drinking, and express my unspeakable feelings through drinking, but don't lose your temper after drinking and spread it freely. Being cuckolded by his wife for 78 years, Niu Aiguo didn't have the courage to divorce. He has been dragging each other and leaning against each other. He just doesn't want to solve the problem, and his repressed heart is accumulating.

Since it is an unsolvable problem, it is not that people can't understand it, but the consequences that they can't solve. If you don't know yourself, you should talk to others and let others think about your problems from your point of view, one pit after another, so there is this sentence. I understand a lot of truth but I still can't live a good life.

Cao said that everything else in the world can be picked, except the day.

Life is like footprints, you come out step by step, where to pick who! God abandoned you, do you choose to go to destruction or survival? If you understand, you will know that God did not abandon you, but made you a better self.

Cao also said that life is the future, not the past.

The unhappy past will eventually become history, and history is used to remember. Always remind yourself that the unbearable past is gone forever.

The whole novel does not use too many gorgeous words to render rural life. Simple and clear, the clues are clear and not repetitive.

I always feel that reading novels is reading life, even if it is someone else's life, I can learn my own life direction from it.

Classic works, worth reading.
