Zhang Ailing's Short Story Little Ai

When I read this little story, my heart was tight. Maybe Xiao Ai is too kind and weak. I hope she can have a happy ending. But every time I see a little hope, it gradually goes out. In the end, Xiao Ai can't escape the tragic fate of women in Zhang Ailing's novels.

Sadness.

At the age of eight or nine, Xiao Ai was sold by her family as a maid in a big house, but she was taken away again and went to the house of her unloved fifth wife. The fifth wife is a coward, not a bad person, but she has no opinion of herself. Her husband doesn't want to talk to her. She hates this and that. They are all unimportant people, but she can't hate her husband, the one who really got her into trouble.

Little moxa didn't feel any warmth in this big family. The fifth wife smiled at the people around her, even a little afraid to take care of her own Ma Tao, but she was very unkind to Xiao Ai. The fifth wife is either beating her or scolding her. Iverson is too young, her body and mind are not fully developed, and she looks so weak and helpless.

Zhang Ailing wrote Xiao Ai like this: "It is also because at such a young age, it suddenly seems to be uprooted and landed in such a place, so I feel confused and confused."

Yes, the uprooted little moxa.

Under such circumstances, her personality is "gloomy and dreary", and everyone thinks she is just a joke.

Someone asked her about her family, but she remembered but said she forgot. Because saying nothing is a kind of resistance to her, she silently confronts those who don't respect her in her own small way. But over time, she really forgot her home and parents, and everything became blurred. She forgot her last name and identity.

Xiao Ai's fate is tragic.

Beating and cursing the fifth wife and the people around her have gradually become accustomed to it, and she even enjoys the occasional solitude. But an unexpected event pushed her to the abyss.

The fifth wife took her to Nanjing, and the fifth master was originally a man with no taste and morality. One day, when everyone was not at home, he saw that Xiao Ai was angry and invaded Xiao Ai.

This part of the description is the creepy part of the book. "In the panic and confusion, she still can't forget that this is a foreign magnetic teacup specially for the host to drink tea. This is a terrible spike. She went to protect the teacup with her hands and fight with him. Fan Jing gasped and laughed.

Iverson, who has been beaten and scolded for a long time, is afraid of breaking the priceless cup and does not forget to protect it when it is violated, but in the eyes of the five masters, this is just a joke. I have to say that Zhang Ailing's greatness is frightening. (That's all for today, to be continued)
