Essay

Xiao Hong (191-1942) was originally named Zhang Naiying, a native of Hulan, Harbin, Heilongjiang Province. A brilliant and famous female writer in the history of modern literature in China was called "the goddess of literature" by Lu Xun in 1930s. She captures the neglected meaning in life with the delicate and keen perception unique to women, and all her works are infused with spiritual wisdom.

Xiao Hong wrote this at the beginning of the novel: Yan Dong blocked the ground and the ground cracked. From south to north, from east to west, a few feet long, a foot long, a few feet long, they have no direction, anytime and anywhere, as long as winter comes, the earth will crack.

The opening words just echo the following paragraphs.

? The cold cracked the earth.

How cold it is here, Xiaohong told us.

As soon as the old man entered the room, he swept the ice on his beard with a broom and said, "It's so cold today! The ground is frozen! "

What is an ice skate? Ice cone, icicle, refers to the cone-shaped ice dripping from the eaves after snow. I also saw skates when I was a child, and I often played with them in my hand under the eaves. This shows how cold the weather is, especially in places like northern Hulan. This passage is a combination of language and writing, which is very picturesque. Give me a compliment!

Next, the author wrote that the bus driver, the bus driver, walked sixty or seventy miles around the big whip with a Samsung. When he entered the carriage shop at dawn, the first thing he said to the innkeeper was, "What a terrible day! Like a small knife. " When I walked into the barn, took off my dog skin hat, smoked a bag of cigarettes and reached for the hot steamed bread, countless cracks appeared on the back of my hand.

It is also the combination of language and writing here that once again highlights the cold weather and the poverty of the bottom people, and also shows the cruel oppression of the working people by the domestic ruling class at that time.

Tofu sellers get up early in the morning to sell with others. Occasionally, they accidentally glued the square wooden plate selling tofu to the ground and couldn't pick it up, so they were frozen to the ground.

The old man selling steamed buns was carrying a wooden box with hot steamed buns inside. As soon as the sun came out, he shouted in the street. He just came out of the room, walking fast and shouting. After a while, his feet hung with palms, and the soles of his feet seemed to step on an egg.

Hanging a palm on your foot is actually protecting your shoes. Half-moon iron palms at the front and back show how cold the weather is. In order not to starve, people at that time had to go out to make a living no matter how cold the weather was. The daily life of ordinary people is like stepping on an egg. If you are not careful, you may starve to death. Even if they want to freeze to death and starve to death, people can't crustily skin of head to live.

He walks very weakly. If he is not very careful, he will fall, that's all, he will still fall. The common people live a vagrant life, often starve to death, and the working people are in dire straits.

It's not good to fall. The steamed bread box was overturned, and steamed bread rolled out from the bottom of the box one by one. When someone saw it, they picked up a few and left while eating. When the old man struggled, he even saw a box containing steamed bread and ice cubes. Count, it doesn't count. He understood. He said like a man who was eating his steamed bread not far away, "It's so cold. The ground cracked and swallowed my steamed bread."

The old man who sold steamed bread accidentally fell down and got up quickly, even picking up steamed bread with snowflakes in the box. Counting steamed buns is still wrong. What does he know? What do those people who eat steamed stuffed buns and leave without giving money symbolize? They are running dogs who helped bullies oppress the people in the old society. The people dare to be angry and dare not speak, so they can only submit to humiliation.

Passers-by all laughed at this. Working people are used to such things, and they don't feel anything abnormal. Like a joke, it happens every day.

He picked up the box and walked on. It seems that the skates under his feet are getting higher and higher, making it more and more difficult for him to walk. So his back sweated, his eyes frosted, and more and more skates hung on his beard, making it more and more difficult to breathe. The ears and front cover of the broken hat are frosted. The working people are exploited and squeezed, and I don't know when it will end. There is no hope in the future.

The old man walked slower and slower, worried and trembling all over, as if he had put on his skates for the first time and was pushed to the skating rink by his friends.

I don't know whether I will starve to death next second or tomorrow. The old man has despaired of this society.

The puppy barked day and night with cold, choking as if its paws were on fire. The working people, like this puppy, have no choice but to freeze to death and starve to death.

If the weather gets cold, the water tank will freeze and crack; The well froze; On the night of the snowstorm, I actually sealed someone's house, slept all night, got up in the morning and pushed the door, but I couldn't push it open.

? Everything has changed since the earth arrived in this cold season. The sky is gray, like chaotic weather after a strong wind, and it has snowed all day. This corresponds to the beginning of the article. The first few words are used to write that the weather is cold. The following is a summary. Why do working people starve to death? Because everything has changed this season, the sky is gray.
