Reflections after reading "The Story of Xu Sanguan Selling Blood"

Part 1: Thoughts after reading "The Story of Xu Sanguan Selling Blood"

Yu Hua's "The Story of Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" is based on the tragic life experience of the protagonist Xu Sanguan. Reflects the living environment of that era.

The first chapter of the novel writes that Xu Sanguan sold blood eleven times. The first time he sold blood was to marry Xu Yulan, which actually reflected the poverty and ignorance at that time; the second time he sold blood was because Yile injured Fang Blacksmith's son, and used it to pay back the money to heal the Fang family's eldest son. It is also a reflection of poverty and the inner numbness of the character; the third time he sold blood was to "repay" Lin Fenfang, because he raped her, it seemed that he had a revenge mentality against Xu Yulan; the fourth time he sold blood was because The disaster caused by the Great Leap Forward was just to take the sons to eat noodles and fill their stomachs, which reflected the evil consequences of the Great Leap Forward; the fifth and sixth blood sales were for the future of the sons, so that the captain who used it to please his son, Personally, I think it is due to my own poverty, the impact of the Cultural Revolution, and class differentiation; the seventh to tenth time I sold blood was to cure Yile's illness. It was also because of poverty and I had no choice but to do it, even though Yile was not my biological child. Son, here Xu Sanguan, an ordinary low-level figure, is pushed to the highest point of human nature.

The last time you sell blood is the climax of the story. The previous ten times you sold blood were all forced by life. However, the last time you sold blood, was it really for a meal of fried pork liver and some rice wine? Actually not. There are many different views on this point. Xu Sanguan has been forced by life all his life. In that specific environment, he has always been unable to control himself. From the time he got married to the last chapter, he never sold his own blood once. The hardships of life made him tortured and tortured. The last time may be a return of tragedy, a manifestation of people's spiritual numbness and ignorance, and a reflection of society's influence on people.

The protagonist Xu Sanguan is a complex of contradictions. What is reflected from him is a piece of history of that era. The hardship of Xu Sanguan's life was not his alone. It was a typical reflection of the hardship of the working people at the bottom of society at that time. It also reflects the author's concern for the sufferings of the people.

Looking at the whole novel, the writing technique of the novel is not very delicate. The language is close to life, with more short sentences and more life-oriented language. The description of some details is also quite outstanding. For example, in the end, Xu Sanguan got old and the bloody head no longer wanted his blood. on his face, blowing on his chest; causing the turbid tears to well up in his eyes, flowing along the cheeks on both sides, into his neck, and onto his chest. He raised his hand to wipe them away, and the tears came again. It flowed onto his hands, on his palms, and on the back of his hands. His feet were moving forward, and his tears were flowing down. His head was raised, and his chest was upright. His legs were strong when he stepped out, and his arms were swinging without hesitation, but his face was full of sadness. His tears flowed crisscrossed on his face, like rain hitting the window glass. Cracks climbed up the bowl that was about to break, like branches growing vigorously, like water flowing into the fields, like streets filling the town, and the tears formed a network on his face. "This description will. Xu Sanguan's pain is described deep in the readers' hearts. Another example is Xu Sanguan's description of asking for three servings of fried pork liver at the end, which reflects the protagonist's simple desire for life. He has never had a good life, and he often sells blood to deal with the disasters in his family. In the end, he just wants to eat deliciously. A meal, that's all.

Although there are some contents that are not suitable for children, overall this book is still very valuable. At least it proves that as a successful writer, Yu Hua pretends to be the world.

Part 2: What are your thoughts after reading "Xu Sanguan's Story of Selling Blood"?

I read this book a long time ago and forgot where I got the recommendation. It was from the library. He is very broken. It must be because he has a certain reading value that so many people borrowed it for appreciation. So I don't mind that he is broken. On the contrary, I feel that this way, his reading value will be greater. Since I decided to take it back!

What he expresses is the author's fascination with length, a road, a river, a rainbow after the rain, an endless memory, a simple folk song, a person's voice, all of this Like a coiled rope, it was slowly pulled out by the narrative and reached the end of the recording.

The tone of the whole book feels a bit dull. The book is based on Xu Sanduo’s life as the main line, and the whole book is run through the incident of blood donation. Looking at the book, Xu Sanduo sold it five times in total. Blood:

The money he got from selling blood for the first time brought about the first turning point in his life. He married Xu Yulan, whom he admired. The way he pursued Xu Yulan was also very special. He was straightforward and said that he wanted to marry her. I don’t know if boys of that era were all so bold and direct. Anyway, I think this method is not outdated even now.

The second time he sold blood was because his eldest son, Yile, injured Fang Blacksmith's son. Fang Blacksmith asked for money to no avail, and took all Xu Sanguan's belongings away. The money earned from selling blood for the second time was returned to the family.

The third blood sale was due to his wife’s cheating before marriage, but since it was before marriage, how could it be called cheating? Just because Yile was probably the product of that "cheating", Xu Sanguan couldn't forgive him for that incident before marriage. In fact, after reading the whole book, I can't tell whether Yile is Xu Sanguan's son. Of course, this is not the point. Xu Sanguan's sense of imbalance as a result of being a "turtle" led him to "cheat" when he went to visit Lin Fenfang who broke her leg. Thinking that he should compensate Lin Fenfang, he sold his blood for the third time. With the money, she bought meat bones, chrysanthemums and other calcium supplement and fire-reducing things for Lin Fenfang.

The fourth time, during the famine period after the "People's Commune", the whole family ate corn porridge for 56 days. Seeing that the children were so hungry, Xu Sanguan went to the hospital to sell blood for the fourth time. Took the family to eat noodles. There is another story here. Because he felt that Yile was not his own, Xu Sanguan refused to take Yile to eat noodles, but gave him 50 cents to buy sweet potatoes. Yile almost turned from love to hatred. When he was hungry, he went to look for his biological father. After being rejected, he went to look for his family, crying desperately in the darkness and hunger. Xu Sanguan finally couldn't sit still and later found Yile. The meeting and conversation between father and son were very touching.

For the fifth time, Yi Le and Er Le responded to the country’s call and went to the mountains and countryside to join the queue. Xu Sanguan and Xu Yulan were anxious as they saw the people who had jumped in line returned to the city one by one. Yile fell ill and felt weak, so he went home for a while. Before leaving, Xu Sanguan went to see him off, hurriedly went to the hospital to sell blood, and gave Yile the money, hoping that his life would improve.

Soon, the captain of the production team where Erle joined came to the city and had dinner at Xu Sanguan's house. At that time, the family only had two yuan left. In order to entertain the production team leader and make Erle return to the city as soon as possible, Xu Sanguan sold blood for the sixth time. This time it was only one month since the last time I sold blood, and the hospital stipulated that the time interval between two blood sales should be more than three months. Later, I met Genlong who used to sell blood together. Genlong brought an egg-laying hen to "honor" Li Xuetou, so Li Xuetou agreed to let Xu Sanguan sell his blood for the sake of the laying hen. That is, after selling blood this time, Genlong died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage.

Yile was diagnosed with hepatitis. His condition was serious and he was rushed to Shanghai for treatment. Xu Sanguan borrowed a limited amount of money from his neighbors and asked his wife to take Yile to Shanghai first, while he prepared to sell blood along the way to raise funds. The article described how Xu Sanguan sold blood four times along the road. The third time he fainted, the hospital gave him 700 ml of blood instead. After Xu Sanguan woke up, he strongly demanded that the 300 ml of blood that did not belong to him be returned to the hospital.

With the reform and opening up, Xu Sanguan’s family’s life, like that of many Chinese people, has gradually improved. One day, he suddenly wanted to eat fried pork liver and drink rice wine, so he went to the hospital to sell blood.

It was not because he wanted to sell blood to eat pig liver and drink rice wine, but because of the inertia formed by selling blood for many years that he sold blood in order to eat pig liver and drink rice wine. When the newly replaced blood head told him that his blood had no effect and no one would want it, his spirit collapsed and he felt that his life had come to an end. He stood on the street and cried bitterly.

Part 3: What are your thoughts after reading "The Story of Xu Sanguan Selling Blood"?

Yu Hua is a famous writer whose works have won awards both domestically and internationally. It has won many awards and received high praise and praise. During the vacation, I read his book "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood" and felt that I benefited a lot.

The book tells the story of an ordinary working class person who barely makes ends meet by selling blood against the background of major historical events in China. The story uses the protagonist Xu Sanguan's life before and after marriage as clues, telling his life of mixed joys and sorrows.

When Xu Sanguan was young, he learned a saying when visiting his relatives: In rural areas, only those who sell blood are in good health and can find a wife. So on his way back to the city, he joined two farmers who were going to the hospital to sell blood, and started selling blood for the first time in his life. In this way, he was dominated by this unscientific statement, and he began his life of getting married, having children, and continuing to sell blood... Then, Xu Sanguan's family acted as a stage to display the emotions of the public. They cried, argued, and even flirted in public. Just like the gloves that Xu Sanguan's wife took apart and knitted into knitted clothes, these figures seem to have been taken apart and reassembled, with every trace of texture and stitching visible. However, they have no private experience to speak of, but have to show their hearts, their despicability, cruelty, etc. in front of people. Xu Sanguan had a wife with a volatile temper and was extremely proud of having three sons. However, the levels of the three children are uneven, and they always cause trouble for Xu Sanguan.

In the book, although blood trading is a damned trade, it saved Xu Sanguan’s family and his own dignity. When Xu Sanguan no longer really needed money, Xu Sanguan Guan gained his own free will as a result. In his opinion, he had realized the value of his life.

By reading this book, I can roughly see the historical process that the Chinese people have gone through: from the Great Leap Forward to the Cultural Revolution, and then to the Deng Xiaoping era, people lived a good life through struggle, telling the story of that time The state of Chinese society and its rise and fall. But it also has a deeper meaning. If you taste it carefully and analyze it, you will find that this book also has a great acne connotation. For example, in the strange story we are already familiar with, one person sells shadow and the other person sells laughter. But don't stop to think: What are those people selling there? As a cocoon delivery worker in a silk factory, Xu Sanguan brings us reflections. Xu Sanguan only sold his own blood because he wanted to eat "pork liver" and drink "yellow wine"? Is it to save a seriously ill young man? Is it to protect what little freedom you have during tough times? The answer is not necessarily yes. From these questions, we can also see the tenacious will of Xu Sanguan, the protagonist of the novel, to continue to survive when faced with the desperate situation of life, as well as the chaos in China's social system in the past. In that system, the individual was completely wiped out. For another example, there is a passage in the book: "People with strong bones sell blood. You can earn thirty-five yuan by selling blood once, and you can only earn that much by working in the fields for half a year..." This sentence It seems greedy, but from the perspective of today's society, it seems very cold, which is also a kind of ridicule.

After reading this book, you will feel that Xu Sanguan sold blood to get married, to save his seriously ill son, to solemnly entertain the honored guests, to redeem the mortgaged items, and to Not to starve to death is to survive. But in the end, it's all about love and ridiculous dignity.

"The Story of Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" is cleverly written, the plot is clear and easy to understand. All the stories came in a clear rhythm, all the plots were unfolded, and the characters' relationships and conflicts were presented to me in a logical way, without any sense of roundaboutness or pretentiousness. After reading this book, I felt deeply and learned a lot.

Part 4: What are your thoughts after reading "Xu Sanguan's Blood Seller"?

Xu Sanguan's Blood Seller is about an ordinary Xu Sanguan's extraordinary experience of selling blood. An ordinary working man who works hard but can only sell his blood to marry, pay off debts, and cure his illness. What he writes about is the sadness in his life, but it reflects the sadness of the society at that time.

Xu Sanguan's first blood sale can be said to be a coincidence, but it is inevitable for the development of things. At that time, people in his hometown in the countryside were selling blood to make extra money. People believed that those who could sell blood were in good health, and those who could not sell blood must have poor health. It was difficult to even get a wife. The dialogue in the book when Xu Sanguan's grandfather asked Xu Sanguan is a good example of this.

Before selling blood, ordinary people had a greedy mentality. When Genlong and Afang took Xu Sanguan to sell blood for the first time, they drank seven or eight large bowls of water in front of the well and couldn't hold on anymore. The purpose was to thin the blood. Looking at it now, I think it is a complete joke. But at that time, how could you blame them? It was just due to poverty. After selling the blood, he looked like he had made a career, "A pot of fried pork liver, a cup of rice wine, the rice wine needs to be warm", clasping the table, looking lively and full of pictures! But in fact, it is the "blood" money earned by selling blood.

If the first time Xu Sanguan sold blood was an ignorant attempt, the second time he sold blood was to pay off debts. Both times, he did not realize the harmful effects of frequent blood sales on the body. Harm, when A Fang and Gen Long later became role models and took the lead, Xu Sanguan had already realized the harm of selling blood to the body, but at this time he was selling blood like he was desperate because of Xu Yulan's illness.

In the experience of selling blood, the first time Xu Sanguan sold blood was at the hospital led by Genlong and Afang. It was the first time he felt fresh and satisfied with getting so much money. Maybe the need for money is stronger than that. When Xu Sanguan got the money, it was like a young man getting his first salary. The first time is always particularly precious. Xu Sanguan was reluctant to spend the money, not willing to give it to his grandfather, not willing to give it to his grandfather. To the fourth uncle, after thinking about it, he decided to marry himself a wife. So selling blood for the first time brought him Xu Yulan and a family. And this seems to indicate Xu Sanguan's future life, even his experience of selling blood is closely related to this family.

Time flies and nine years have passed. Xu Sanguan, the father of three children, is actually not much different from thousands of ordinary fathers, but he has moved me a lot. , maybe because the father is a great character to begin with. Yile stabbed Fang Blacksmith's son with a kitchen knife. At this time, there were major twists and turns in the lives of He Xiaoyong, Xu Sanguan and Xu Yulan for the first time. In order to repay the hospitalization expenses of Blacksmith Fang's son, Xu Sanguan sold blood for the second time, this time in exchange for the home he had run for ten years. Although Xu Sanguan is willing to sell his blood to make up for Yile's mistakes, he still feels worried about whose child Yile is. So in his third blood sale, Lin Fenfang was among the people he spent the "blood" money on. In Xu Sanguan's heart, Xu Yulan was able to have an affair with He Xiaoyong, and the imbalance in his heart was satisfied by this small derailment.

Three years of famine, ten years of the Cultural Revolution, the relationship was tempered in the difficult days, Xu Sanguan and Xu Yulan already understood each other in their hearts, the family criticism meeting during the Cultural Revolution, Xu Sanguan's care for his wife , makes my heart surge with warmth.

Going to the countryside to jump in line, Yile is seriously ill and sells blood regardless of life. Although selling blood regardless of life is so unreasonable, it is so reasonable emotionally. Life is forced and helpless. This move is also a perfect shaping of Xu Sanguan's image.

As I get older and my life becomes more peaceful, I finally want to sell my blood for myself, but I can’t. I feel unbearably lonely. I feel like crying is not complete. The comfort of three plates of fried pork liver is actually the end.

In Yu Hua’s story, everyone’s life is a microcosm of society, so is Xu Sanguan’s life the same?

Part 5: Thoughts after reading "Xu Sanguan's Blood Seller"

I have just finished reading "Xu Sanguan's Blood Seller". I will only read it when I am in a good mood. It is also possible to put it together in this way. Finished reading this novel.

The more you look at the back, the more touching it becomes. Because Xu Sanguan felt that Yile was not Xu Sanguan’s biological son, he did not take him to eat noodles. This noodles was bought by selling his blood. Yile was angry and angry. Unfair, unwilling to recognize such a person as his father, he wanted to find his biological father, but his biological father refused to recognize him. He shouted everywhere: Whoever gives him a bowl of noodles to eat will be his father. Later, Xu Sanguan took him to eat noodles... This plot moved me very much. The father-son relationship between Yile and Xu Sanguan is very deep. Even though Xu thought that he was not his biological child, the relationship between them later became better than that of his biological child.

People in that era lived a very hard and sad life. They didn’t have enough to eat or keep warm. It was hard for me to feel these things. Regarding the current life, our generation should know how to cherish it. Living in such a beautiful era, there is enough food for you, good food, warm clothes, good housing, and advanced medical equipment. These things were not done well enough before and are not as good as they are now.

My father mostly ate sweet potatoes when he was a child. Almost every meal contained sweet potatoes, so now he hardly eats sweet potatoes because he is afraid of them. A person really has to endure some hardships to be successful, and cannot be pampered. Only through some hardships can he realize that it is hard-won, and only then can he know how to cherish. I remember when I was very young, I would always pick the few grains of rice out of the bowl and drop them on the table. Or if there would be a few grains of rice left in the bowl, my father would yell at me and tell me to pick up the rice on the table. Eat, eat all the rice in the bowl. He said that he didn't have any food at that time. Some people would pick up the rice when they saw it in the toilet and eat it. Every time he ate, he would eat it all and would not leave any food behind. grains of rice. But when I see someone eating every grain of rice, I feel that this person is really poor. In fact, this is really a virtue, the virtue of diligence and thrift, but I actually feel shabby. Once I saw a boy picking up the rice in the lunch box and picking it all off. I felt that he didn't even have enough to eat, he was devouring it so hungrily, as if he wanted to eat the lunch box. Very shabby. My thoughts deviate a bit from the values, but this move should be worth promoting.

While reading the novel, I always thought that Xu Sanguan would die because of selling blood, but he did not die in the end, and the ending was quite happy.

After reading this, another feeling is that people should have thoughts and knowledge, and a person cannot have such shallow, ignorant, ignorant and backward thoughts. But at that time, almost everyone had not gone to school, could not read at all, and had little culture. People formed a society, and the society fell behind. I regard raising children as a burden and encumbrance. If the child is not my biological child, I feel that I am very unlucky. I have been a turtle for so many years and feel hateful. My attitude is not as good as before. They will not miss the relationship they have spent together in the past few years. The connection between the two people can be broken because of other people's words and gossip.

What I dislike the most is some of Xu Yulan’s behaviors. Whenever something happens, she sits at the gate and yells. Everyone knows what embarrassing thing and makes it known to everyone, even Xu Sanguan will not do it. No matter how angry you are, it doesn't matter if you think the jar is broken or broken.

While eating pork liver and rice wine, Xu Sanguan imitated others, ordering in a loud voice, tapping the table with his index finger, and never forgetting to say "warm" even in summer. One warm rice wine." Use bluff to cover up your inner cowardice, just like a poor person pretending to be rich, not wanting others to look down on him or her. He wants to rely on these actions and words to raise his own value and make others think that he is a person of status and dare not deceive him. Just like some domestic people traveling abroad, they are rich and loud.

Xu Yulan has the same hobbies as one of the three children. She especially likes to talk about other people's clothes, tell them what they are wearing today, what they look like, and gossip. This is something I can't stand. of. It is still common nowadays that women always like to gossip to fill their spare time and satisfy their boring soul and monotonous life. Some gossip I like to hear, some I don't. What do you have to say about what kind of clothes others wear? Gossip has been a woman’s hobby since ancient times.

My friend told me something. Originally, the man and woman had promised to get engaged and were planning to get engaged and get married. However, just because of gossip, someone said that this woman was sick and infertile. There was no factual basis for this. The nonsense actually spread and reached the man's house, and the matter was blown away.

The most favorite thing women do is gossip, and this has never changed. Talking about gossip is also quite interesting. In school, everyone loves to talk about who is in love with whom, who has quarreled with whom, etc. Other topics cannot arouse everyone's interest, but only this gossip is enough to arouse everyone's interest and chatter endlessly. Most of the conversations among the neighbors were about who married whom, how much dowry the girl's family got, how old she was, how her family was, and how many people there were. The topic then moved to the boy. Or who held a funeral and why he died.

I am also a layman, and I am very interested in these gossips. Although interested, I heard very little gossip.
