What does Mo Yan's golden carp express?

I thought about it carefully, and I think I expressed my extreme dissatisfaction and resentment against the Cultural Revolution and praised those who were brave in pursuing the truth during the Cultural Revolution.

In fact, the big doubt is that this article does not write about the disadvantages of the Cultural Revolution, or even the benefits of women writers, but only writes about the beautiful behavior of Jin Zhi who helped women writers heal their wounds. It seems that there is insufficient evidence to say that they hate the Cultural Revolution and praise people who uphold the truth. But we can still find some clues from the details and sides.

First of all, the article says that the novel Qingcao Lake written by a woman writer is loved by everyone, which means it is a good work. From the kind words of writing Qingcaohu in the article, we can infer that the good work Qingcaohu written by the writer is a good work with a beautiful and romantic atmosphere, which means that the female writer is a good person with elegant temperament (writing like this is more charming than writing directly about the female writer as a good person, of course, writing directly can also reveal the theme, but it is not in line with the atmosphere of the work). Good people have been criticized and even killed, which is a denunciation of the ugliness of the Cultural Revolution. In addition, we can also go out and think, from the above analysis, it is concluded that women writers' works and personalities are very romantic. Is this style of personality and works contrary to the rigid dogma of the Cultural Revolution and has been criticized? Of course, there is no evidence in this article. It's just our guess.

In addition, doctors are afraid to see a doctor, ships are blocked for fear of persecution by class enemies, and uncles refuse to give medicine (in this article, it is said that Jin Zhi was pitiful), which is a mockery of the mental illness of the Cultural Revolution. It can be seen that under the bad influence of the Cultural Revolution, many normal social orders and lifestyles were disrupted by labels.

In addition, grandpa and others' nostalgia for Jin Zhi in this article is also a reflection of a kind of helplessness in the Cultural Revolution. The above is an analysis of the extreme dissatisfaction and resentment of the Cultural Revolution.

The beautiful and positive description of Jin Zhi is a praise for those who were brave in pursuing truth when they broke through the class struggle environment at that time during the Cultural Revolution. Describing Jin Zhi knowing that it is dangerous to help a female writer is decisive, which means that she is not afraid of violence. Describing Jin Zhi's daring to break into the lake twice is a compliment to those who insisted on the truth in the face of extreme difficulties but were not intimidated by the difficult environment.

Finally, Jin Zhi's sacrifice into a golden carp is the sublimation of the article, and it is also a reflection of the author's hope and wish for good people to have a good home. The image of the golden carp is undoubtedly beautiful, and the author hopes that beauty can appear in those who adhere to the truth. But Jin Zhi's death is a kind of helplessness: in the face of reality, the good man finally fell down unfortunately.

that's my opinion, but I think it's also correct to talk only about the extreme dissatisfaction and resentment against the Cultural Revolution, and not to praise those who were brave in pursuing the truth when they broke through the class struggle environment at that time. Because from my understanding of the Cultural Revolution, at that time, people were single-minded, and those who adhered to the truth often overwhelmed the opposition with the way of thinking of the Cultural Revolution in order to uphold the truth. For example, the staff in the Forbidden City at that time responded to the demolition of the feudal Forbidden City by keeping some feudal dross for the people to take as a warning. It is very difficult to break away from the so-called "revolutionary theory" and fight directly with actions with self-style, as in the article. From this perspective, the author's description of Jin Zhi is extremely idealistic. In this way, if you praise the golden carp for fighting in its own way, you will lose the object. On this premise, we can still regard the tragedy of the golden carp and its beautiful description as helplessness, sadness and contrast to the ugly reality.
