Reflections after reading "Three Autumns in One Day"

I recently finished reading Liu Zhenyun's new work "Three Autumns in One Day" in one sitting. The "magic realism style" of Marquez, especially through the male protagonist Liang Liang's grandma's spray, made me instantly return to my childhood. , the world of gods and monsters that my grandma told me.

The story in this book mainly focuses on three generations, and the narrative background spans as long as 3,000 years. Although Chen Changjie, Li Yansheng, Yingtao, Chen Mingliang, Ma Xiaomeng and others are the protagonists, Hua Erniang, who has been in and out of the dreams of Yanjin people for 3000 years, is the core character! Hua Erniang couldn't wait for her sweetheart to turn into "Wanglang Mountain", but she didn't know that her sweetheart had come to find her but missed her. Her resentment turned into a curse, shackles the people of Yanjin. "Technical processing of magical realism" packages some truths that are not suitable for direct expression, and uses a series of techniques such as implication, metaphor, and irony to make the content to be expressed safer.

1. "Three autumns in one day"

This book is all about "one person is connected to another person, one thing is connected to another thing", such as "One day is connected to another thing" "Three Autumn Seasons" is not only the motto of Chen Mingliang's "Tianpeng Marshal" restaurant, but also a review of his personal life experiences in his dream.

The soul of the novel is Hua Erniang and her jokes. The joke that Hua Erniang asked for was just for a moment of happiness, but many people stayed with her for a lifetime just because of her smile. Even those who can make Hua Erniang laugh, are they telling the jokes that they have lived their whole life with a forced smile. A lifetime of hard work is just a joke in a moment, and nothing is left after laughing. How can it be that three autumns are in one day?

Looking at a deeper level, the relationship between this fleeting life and the eternal world is also one day and three autumns. The characters in the book go around and around for their own livelihoods and look back after working hard all their lives. Many years have passed and it seems that their inner selves have never changed, but have been frozen in the moments they consider the most precious. .

When my grandma was alive, I liked to go to my grandma’s house every weekend. The 90-year-old old man, already gray-haired, personally raised flowers and grass, washed and cooked, and his speech was full of life. Wisdom, stories are often filled with a unique world of gods and monsters. Just like Ming Liang’s grandma’s spray, what grandma is very good at is telling us stories, pieces of her own past and the legends of her hometown. I really enjoy listening to the process of listening to grandma telling stories. Sitting there all afternoon, it seems like time has frozen in that moment. My restless and anxious heart is often calmed down by the silence and peace of that moment. I only spent one day of my own to enjoy my grandma's three autumns.

Chaplin once said that life is a tragedy when viewed from a distance, and a comedy when viewed from a distance. So far, that’s roughly what he said That is, life is a joke. While reading, sometimes I couldn't control myself and burst out laughing. The people and ghosts in the story are both ordinary and funny, and they are also who I am at certain moments in reality. But after reading it, I feel like crying. , probably because I understand, so I am compassionate.

Teacher Liu uses the core of comedy to reflect the tragedy of reality. Twenty years ago, Yanjin forced Chen Mingliang and others to leave. Twenty years later, he returned to Yanjin and dreamed of Hua Erniang, which forced him to use the disgraceful history his wife told him. He felt shameless when the joke was told to her. What is a joke, this is a joke; later he decided never to return to that terrible Yanjin! What is hometown? This is called hometown...

Hua Erniang could not face the truth that Huaerlang was dead. She waited for thousands of years and later learned the truth. However, she could not forget it because of her face, so she could only continue. Look down. Hua Erniang deceived others, and even deceived herself for thousands of years. And Hua Erniang, who loves to hear jokes, is also a joke herself.

Although there are many stories of ghosts and gods interspersed in the article, there is a sense of reality of inexplicable pain, an unforgettable sadness, and a heart-piercing pain. The most brilliant thing about Teacher Liu's "Three Autumn Days" compared to "One Sentence is Worth Ten Thousand Sentences" is that although it tells tragic and sad stories, it can be told in a humorous and comedic way.

While the author misses and narrates the old days of his hometown relatives, he also It is mixed with strong and complex emotions, and as the novel unfolds, it triggers people's deep thinking.

Mingliang opened a pig's trotters shop in full swing in Xi'an, relying on the 100,000 yuan earned by Ma Xiaomeng in Beijing. However, this 100,000 yuan was dirty money, and so were the pig's trotters. It was very dirty. It needed to be completely removed with asphalt and then manually plucked. It could only be cleaned after washing it many times. Although Mingliang initially wanted to find someone to calculate the past and present life of him and Ma Xiaomeng, he was kind-hearted and finally decided to forgive Ma Xiaomeng. Meng's past, and realized: whether it is money or pig's trotters, it is a process of gradually laundering. Let go of the past, look forward to the future, and live a good life. This is a friendship and fully demonstrates the wisdom of the male protagonist.

I also cried when I saw Mingliang sending Sun Erguo to his death. It is not unusual to encounter love or sex in life. What is strange is to encounter understanding. Although Sun Erhuo is a dog, he and Mingliang deeply understand and understand each other. All living things in the world are equal, especially when facing death...

In the novel, there are Buddhas between people, people and animals, and even people and ghosts. Family talk about cause and effect. If we don't owe each other, how can we meet each other? Everyone's destiny is determined by fate. When we encounter people and things in life, no matter whether we choose good or bad, correct or not, it may seem accidental, but in fact it is inevitable. As the saying goes, Buddha is the cause and is not afraid of the consequences, and ordinary people are afraid of the consequences but not the causes. I hope that in the future, after the third autumn, I can laugh and talk with my descendants for a day and see each other for thousands of years.
