"Xiao Xiao" (Shen Congwen)

? Like "Border Town", the book "Xiao Xiao" also has strong customs and sentiments. I like beautiful things. Such as Xiao Xiao and her "brother", such as grandpa, such as the mute, such as that tolerant family.

"After dawn, even though I am not dreaming, I can inadvertently close my eyes and open them and watch the sunflowers with yellow edges and purple hearts changing for no reason in the air in front of me. That is a real enjoyment." This is true. . Everyone has some experience of staying up until early in the morning, and they also find it annoying to feel like they are sleeping but not sleeping at all. Haha, but it seems that under Mr. Shen’s writing, I somehow liked it. Those sunflowers with yellow edges and purple hearts suddenly felt so peaceful. With your eyes open or closed, there is boundless and endless enjoyment.

? Speaking of the "girl student" section, at first, I thought it might be a joke on the ignorance of country people. But if you think more about it, you will actually accept it. This is just a process of accepting new things. And we can also see that people don't hate it deeply, but just use it as a pastime after dinner. This is where the subtle influence comes into play. What's even more interesting is that when Mr. Shen changed the words in 1957, he added this sentence about the female student: "Little Maomao cried, coaxing him as if singing: "Hey, Maomao, look, The sedan chair has arrived. Look, the bride is wearing a floral dress, so decent! Don't make trouble, it won't happen unless you are reasonable. If you are unreasonable, I will be angry! Look, the female students are here too. When we grow up tomorrow, we will also find a female student wife! "It's like being in a reincarnation, and new variables are brewing and sprouting.

It can be seen that those things that were very novel to people at that time are not the same to us now. Life. It's nothing more than self-reliant career women, free love and so on. Xiao Xiao is a simple girl, and simple people will eventually have visions of beautiful things. Xiao Xiao is a lively, cheerful and innocent girl. Perhaps, she is too resigned to her fate and is a little numb, but in my opinion, she is also happy with the situation. There is nothing wrong with being alone, ordinary and peaceful. At least in my opinion, she is calm. And the peaceful days make me more casual. In terms of personality, Xiao Xiao overlaps with Cuicui in "Border Town"

I don't want to say much about Hua Dog. I just feel pity for Xiao Xiao, why didn’t she meet someone more suitable and better in her flower-like girl’s feelings? It cannot be denied that Xiao Xiao grew from a girl to a woman because of a cowardly man named Hua Gou. >

? Should I be lucky? In the end, Xiao Xiao was not poisoned by the ancient system, but was saved by simple nostalgia. In the end, the young husband did not dislike Xiao Xiao, nor did he dislike the fat boy. When his son grew up, he called him uncle, and he agreed not to be angry. What about the others? It seemed like nothing happened. He said, "Follow the rules and eat steamed chicken and glutinous rice wine to replenish your blood, and burn paper to thank God." The whole family rejoiced in the son. "It's no different!

? Haha, such a peaceful ending can make me feel comfortable and dream about the yellow-edged purple-heart sunflowers.
