Appreciate the homestay sheep house. Tell me about it.

Under any adversity, we can't lose our lyrical interest and love for life.

That year, Gu Cheng was 23 years old and blew the horn of the "generation" in the dark.

The night is a big environment, and there may be confusion and even fear in black eyes, but it is these black eyes that are the only hope in the night. Poets use them to find light, but seemingly paradox gives people strength.

1958, Wang Zengqi was labeled as a "rightist" and sent to work. 196 1 year, people all over the country suffered from natural and man-made disasters. At this time, Wang Zengqi, who has entered the age of no doubt, is still full of "persistence and enthusiasm for life", breaking through the deep and heavy night, and writing "A Night in the Sheep House" by four boys-this is just an ordinary night, embracing the night optimistically and actively, and welcoming the hopeful tomorrow.

A Night in the Sheep House tells the story of four boys, aged 14 and 15, who spent the night in the sheep house. And this night, the four of them are telling their growth stories.

The beginning of A Night in the Sheep House is a typical writing style of Wang Zengqi. Look at the ordinary past and quietly write down the extraordinary meaning. When the train passed by, the dazzling lights and the dense heat were "heard" there, which was clearly a "visual" description, but it was particularly kind to read. In this cordial atmosphere, Wang Zengqi inadvertently fixed the time at 10: 47, and the location was determined in the hillside house, fruit tree, orchard and sheepfold on the hillside. ...

Trains bound for Beijing, various orchards, Caucasian goats and similar ordinary things all seem to have unusual significance. We need a new angle to think, examine, carefully understand the "blank" of the novel, and slowly taste the suggestibility of Wang Zengqi's language.

It's also interesting to divide A Night in the Sheep House into five subheadings-Night,,, Raising Children, Ding, Night, It's getting dark, Tomorrow. Reading "A Night in the Sheep House" is like a train sliding naturally along the track at night. Even if "The Fork in the Night" becomes a biography of four lovely farm teenagers, it doesn't feel abrupt and unnatural. Smart and enterprising, simple and honest, naive and simple, Ding has nothing to do but accompany the children. After the characters are basically plump, they turn back to this late night again to show their noise and happiness in the dark.

Then, meet the tomorrow they expect. "In the sunshine beyond the reach of the party, after experiencing some necessary ups and downs, they will all grow up quickly, firmly and vigorously." It seems to be about teenagers, why not Wang Zengqi who has reached middle age?

The language of A Night in the Sheep House is plain and straightforward, or it can be said to be simple and natural, or both. After all, Wang Zengqi rarely uses flowery rhetoric, and his language is mostly vernacular, which is the abbreviation of ordinary parents.

Judging from the title, "One Night in the Sheep Shed" may be a bit appealing to both refined and popular tastes, so Wang Zengqi also specially noted: "Also known as: Four sons and one night." The latter may be more straightforward than "a sheep shed for one night". This is the "earthy" flavor of Wang Zengqi's novels, and fireworks are everywhere.

It is more appropriate to say "listening" than "reading" novels. Wang Zengqi, like a storyteller next door, tells you about his experience in the 1960s.

Wang Zengqi's language is like folk oral culture, telling a short story, much like a "story book".

Everyone knows that novels are born out of "story books" in Song and Yuan Dynasties. "Storybook" is the basic book for storytellers to tell and sing stories of various themes in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. And this kind of "story book" is the most infectious.

The language of A Night in the Sheep House is extremely tense. Tension originally means that water droplets are round and do not disperse. The language used to describe Wang Zengqi is very appropriate. Putting seemingly ordinary words together, you can draw a picture full of life breath, and also give you enough space for imagination and aftertaste.

Pasturing sheep was originally a hard job, but Wang Zengqi described it so beautifully and truly that it could emerge in front of your eyes.

The common scenes in the countryside make Wang Zengqi's description so beautiful, no wonder it is kind to read. Whether herding sheep or working in an orchard, beauty is a life experience, and only with hope can we find the beauty of life.

A truly persevering person should be able to withstand all kinds of pressures, whether it is natural disasters or man-made disasters.

Taking suffering as the wealth of life, all four boys in the sheepfold have good plans for their future lives.

Although Xiao Lu was a coolie in the orchard, he admired Zhang Shilin and longed to be a real orchard mechanic, so he actively prepared two necessary conditions-tree shears and grafting knives.

Laojiu's hereditary worker, holding the last whip, is a qualified and experienced shepherd, but he is more and more eager to become a steel worker, a more promising career.

He and Ding are milk brothers. Left-behind children yearn for life in other places, "it's so nice here"; Ding Gang was very thin when he arrived at the meeting. Thanks to the branch secretary, he not only cured tuberculosis, but also grew taller. He is determined to be a PLA soldier.

The real state of the world is often unsatisfactory. We must cross it and ourselves with a normal heart and a kind heart.

The four boys' longing for a better future is not to escape from reality, but to cross higher goals. Now the field is boring, and they are still positive and optimistic.

Xiao Lu "doing these things in bright sunshine and green leaves of green cages is not only a serious job, but also a relaxing game. It is both effective and fun, and it is really enjoyable. "

The most bitter thing about herding sheep is summer, when the sun is shining, my mouth is dry and there is no water to drink, and my burned lips and upper jaw are rotten. "But these, never make Laojiu sued, too scared".

Ding Jiagui "seems to have too much extra energy, and it will be uncomfortable if you don't find something heavy to consume."

Facing the middle of the night, they are not worried or depressed, but still talking and laughing. "I'm so happy, I'm so happy, I almost broke this hut." "They completely forgot that it was late at night."

Optimistic and positive about life and full of expectations for the future. Here, it is not so much that four young people embrace the night as that Wang Zengqi writes about himself.

"This is just an ordinary night." There is nothing wrong with experiencing setbacks or suffering, "but people grow up day by day and night by night."

In "A Night in the Sheep House", the plot fluctuates little, and things come slowly, one by one. Every child is unique and has his own personality. And these characters are reflected in some details of life.

These details, perhaps in our life, are common things. When the authors write them one by one, they suddenly realize, oh, that's it. Therefore, every time I read these details, I will feel deja vu.

In "A Night in the Sheep House", Wang Zengqi built a small room in the dark with words, and portrayed four young people with different personalities and vivid images with some common trivial things in daily life. They work actively and happily and face life optimistically, which embodies the writer's far-reaching intention of "optimistic and open-minded, pursuing light".

When talking about the structure of novels, Wang Zengqi likes "casually" and "painstakingly managing casually".

"A Night in the Sheep House" didn't end at night, but ended with "Tomorrow". , Ding, and the children left behind, their hopes "all came true at night"

Perhaps the author's expectation for the four boys tomorrow includes himself. Because I wrote about four boys in a sheep shed, I naturally felt the author's expectation after reading it, and I felt a little natural.

Night is an inevitable experience of growth, just like crops. "Under the sunshine of the party, it will grow rapidly, firmly and vigorously after experiencing some necessary ups and downs."

During the period of 1958, Wang Zengqi was labeled as a "Rightist" and sent to work. Shen Congwen often wrote letters to comfort and encourage him, saying, "As the times get older, people are as small as floating, so we should live a good life and get used to different lives, just like modern people ... accepting everything in his life enthusiastically and simply will make his life truly full and powerful.

Therefore, reading Wang Zengqi needs some meditation, just like listening to a story, you accidentally miss the details. Referring to our own life experience and mobilizing our rich imagination, we will find that although the novel One Night in the Sheep House was a long time ago, its enlightenment is close at hand, and it is as great as life attitude and life ideal; From characterization, language use and structural arrangement, it is worth chewing slowly, whether it is appreciated from a philosophical or literary point of view.
