Reflections on Xu Sanguan's Selling Blood

The first part: Reflection on Xu Sanguan's blood selling incident.

Yu Hua's "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" reflects the living environment of that era through the tragic life experience of the protagonist Xu Sanguan.

The novel was written eleven times by Xu Sanguan. The first time I sold my blood, I married Xu Yulan, which reflected the poverty and ignorance at that time. The second blood sale was because Fang blacksmith's son was injured and used to pay back the money to treat Fang's eldest son, which was also a reflection of poverty and numbness in the characters' hearts. Selling blood for the third time is to "repay" Lin Fenfang, because he raped her, and there seems to be a revenge for Xu Yulan. Selling blood for the fourth time is because of the disaster brought by the Great Leap Forward, just to take my sons to eat noodles and fill their stomachs, reflecting the evil consequences of the Great Leap Forward; The fifth and sixth blood sales were for the future of his son, so that the captain who used it to please his son personally thought it was his own poverty and the influence of the Cultural Revolution, as well as class differentiation; Selling blood for the seventh to tenth time is to cure Le Yi's disease, but also because of poverty. Although Le Yi was not his own son, he pushed Xu Sanguan, an ordinary low-level figure, to the highest point of human nature.

The last blood sale is the climax of the story. The first ten blood sales were forced by life. However, is the last blood sale really for a fried pork liver and a little yellow wine? Actually, it's not. There are many understandings of this. Xu Sanguan was forced by life all his life, and he was always involuntarily in that particular environment. From marriage to the last chapter, he never sold blood for himself once. The hardships of life made him suffer greatly. The last time, perhaps the return of tragedy, is a reflection of people's mental numbness and ignorance and the influence of society on people.

The protagonist Xu Sanguan is a contradictory synthesis. What is reflected from him is a period of history of that era. Xu Sanguan's hard life was not his own, but a typical embodiment of the hard life of the working people at the bottom of society at that time. It also reflects the author's concern for the sufferings of the people.

As far as the whole article is concerned, the writing technique of the novel is not very delicate, the language is close to life, there are many short sentences, and the language is vivid. Some details are also quite excellent. For example, in the end, Xu Sanguan was old and the blood head didn't want his blood. He began to cry. He opened his clothes on his chest and walked over to let the wind blow on his face and chest. Let the turbid tears gush out from his eyes, brush along the cheeks on both sides, flow into his neck and chest. He raised his hand to wipe, and the tears flowed into his hand again, in his palm and on the back of his hand. His feet are moving forward and his tears are flowing downwards. His head was lifted. He stood tall, his legs were strong when he stepped out, his arms shook without hesitation, but his face was full of sadness. His tears flowed alternately on his face, like rain hitting the window pane, like cracks crawling into the bowl where acetylene was about to break, like leafy branches, like canals flowing into fields, like streets full of towns, and tears were woven into a net on his face. "This paragraph describes the pain of Xu through to the reader's heart. Another example is Xu Sanguan's description of frying pork liver three times in a row, which reflects the hero's simple desire for life. He has never had a good life and is ready to sell blood for the disaster at home. In the end, he just wants to have a good meal, that's all.

Although there are some inappropriate contents for children, on the whole, this book is still very valuable. At least it proves that Yu Hua, as a successful writer, has a world in his heart.

Chapter two: How to treat Xu Sanguan's selling blood?

I read this book a long time ago and forgot where I saw the recommendation. He is very poor in the library. It must be because he has certain reading value that he is borrowed and appreciated by so many people, so I don't mind his poor reading, but I think his reading value will be even greater, since I will definitely get it back!

What he expresses is the author's fascination with length, a road, a river, a rainbow after rain, an endless memory, an unpretentious folk song and a person's voice. All this is like a bundle of coiled rope, which is slowly pulled out by the narrator until the recording is over.

The tone of the whole book feels a bit dull. This book is based on Xu Sanduo's life. Through the event of blood donation, the book runs through. In the whole book, Xu Sanduo always sells blood five times:

1 blood money brought the first turning point in his life, and he married his favorite Xu Yulan. His way of pursuing Xu Yulan is also very special. He said bluntly that he would marry someone. I wonder if all the boys in those days were so generous and direct. Anyway, I think this way is out of date now.

The second blood sale was because the eldest son smashed the son of Fang blacksmith, who asked for money for nothing and took all Xu Sanguan's belongings. Xu Sanguan got his belongings back with the money from the second blood sale.

Selling blood for the third time stems from his wife's infidelity before marriage, but since it is before marriage, how can it be called infidelity? Just because a joy is probably the product of that "derailment", the amount before marriage makes Xu Sanguan unforgivable. In fact, after reading the whole book, I can't judge whether Le Yi is the son of Xu Sanguan. Of course, that's not the point. Xu Sanguan's sense of imbalance caused by being a "turtle" made him cheat when he visited Lin Fenfang who broke his leg. Thinking that Lin Fenfang should be compensated, he used the money from the third sale to buy Lin Fenfang meat, bones, chrysanthemums and other things to supplement calcium and remove fire.

The fourth time was the famine period after the People's Commune. The whole family ate corn porridge for 56 days and watched the children starve. For the fourth time, Xu Sanguan went to the hospital to sell blood and took his family to eat noodles. Here's another story. Because he didn't think Le Yi was his kind, Xu Sanguan refused to take Le Yi to eat noodles, but gave him fifty cents to buy sweet potatoes. A kind of joy is almost from love to hate. When I am hungry, I will go to my biological father. After being rejected, I went to my family and cried in despair in darkness and hunger. Xu Sanguan finally couldn't sit still, and later found a fun. The meeting and conversation between father and son are very touching.

For the fifth time, Le Yi and Joy responded to the call of the country and jumped the queue in the countryside. Seeing that the people who jumped the queue went back to the city one by one, Xu through and Xu Yulan were in a hurry. Le Yi felt sick and bored and went home to live for a while. When he left, Xu went to see me off, rushed to the hospital to sell his blood and gave the money to Le Yi, hoping that his life would improve.

Soon, the captain of the production team who jumped the queue in Le Er came to the city and had dinner at Xu Sanguan's house. At that time, there were only two yuan left at home. In order to entertain the production team leader and let Le Er return to the city as soon as possible, Xu Sanguan sold blood for the sixth time. It's only 1 month since the last blood sale, and the hospital stipulates that the time interval between two blood sales should be more than 3 months. Later, I met Genlong, who used to sell blood together. Genlong brought a laying hen to "honor" Li Xuetou, so Li Xuetou agreed to let Xu Sanguan sell blood for laying hens. That is, after selling blood this time, Genlong died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage.

Le Yi was diagnosed with hepatitis, and his condition was serious. She was rushed to Shanghai for treatment. Xu Sanguan borrowed a limited amount of money from his neighbors and happily sent his wife to Shanghai, ready to sell blood all the way to raise money. The article describes the process of Xu Sanguan selling blood four times along the way. The third time, because he fainted, the hospital gave him 700 ml of blood. After Xu Sanguan woke up, he strongly demanded that 300 ml of blood that did not belong to him be returned to the hospital.

With the reform and opening up, the life of the Xu Sanguan family, like many people in China, has gradually improved. One day, he suddenly wanted to eat fried pork liver and drink yellow wine, so he went to the hospital to sell blood. He didn't sell blood to eat pig liver and drink yellow wine, but the inertia formed by years of selling blood made him sell blood to eat pig liver and drink yellow wine. When the new blood head told him that his blood was useless and would not be taken, he had a nervous breakdown and felt that his life had come to an end, standing in the street crying.

Chapter three: How to treat Xu Sanguan's selling blood?

Yu Hua, a famous writer, has won many awards at home and abroad and won favorable comments. I read his "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" during the holiday and felt that I benefited a lot.

The book is based on a major historical event in China, and tells the story of an ordinary working class who makes a living by selling blood. The story tells the story of the protagonist Xu Sanguan's life before and after marriage, especially after marriage.

When he was young, Xu Sanguan knew a sentence when visiting relatives: In rural areas, people who sell blood can only get a wife if they are healthy. So on his way back to the city, he joined two farmers who were going to the hospital to sell blood and started selling blood for the first time in his life. In this way, he was dominated by this unscientific statement and began his life of getting married and having children and continuing to sell blood ... Then, Xu Sanguan's family acted as a stage to show the public's feelings. They cry, quarrel and even flirt in public. Just like Xu Sanguan's wife took apart the gloves knitted into a sweater, these words seemed to be taken apart and put back, and the lines and stitches were clearly visible. However, they have no personal experience, but they have to show their hearts and show their meanness and cruelty to people. Xu Sanguan has a wayward wife and is proud of having three sons. However, the level of the three children is uneven, which always creates trouble for Xu Sanguan.

In the book, although the blood trade is a damn trade, it saves Xu Sanguan's family and his own dignity. When Xu Sanguan no longer really needed money, Xu Sanguan had gained his own free will. In his view, he realized his life value.

By reading this book, I can roughly see the historical process that the people of China experienced: from the Great Leap Forward to the Cultural Revolution, and then to the Deng Xiaoping era, people lived a beautiful life through struggle, and told the social situation and its ups and downs in China at that time. But it has a deeper meaning. After careful analysis, you will find that this book is also very acne-prone. For example, we are already familiar with a strange story. One person sells shadows and the other sells jokes. But don't stop thinking: What are those people selling there? As a cocoon delivery worker in a silk factory, Xu Sanguan brought us meditation. Xu Sanguan only sells his own blood because he wants to eat "pig liver" and drink "yellow wine"? Is it to save a seriously ill young man? Is it to protect your little freedom in difficult times? The answer is not necessarily that, from these questions, we can still see that Xu Sanguan, the protagonist of the novel, showed a tenacious will to survive in the face of the desperate life and the chaos of China's social system in the past. Under that system, individuals were completely wiped out. For another example, there is a passage in the book: "All able-bodied people sell blood, and they can earn 35 yuan by selling blood once, and only after working in the field for half a year can they earn so much ..." This seems greedy, but from the current social point of view, it may feel very cold, which is also a kind of ridicule.

After reading this book, I will feel that Xu Sanguan sold his blood to get married in order to treat his seriously ill son, to treat his self-righteous guests, to redeem mortgaged objects, to avoid starvation and to survive. But in the end, it's all about love and ridiculous dignity.

"Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" is very wonderful, with clear and complicated plot and easy to understand. All the stories come in a clear rhythm, all the complicated fragments are spread out, and the relationships and contradictions between the characters are naturally presented to me without any feeling of beating around the bush and being melodramatic. After reading this book, I felt deeply and gained a lot.

Chapter four: How to treat Xu Sanguan's selling blood?

The story of Xu Sanguan selling blood tells an ordinary Xu Sanguan's unusual experience of selling blood. An ordinary labourer who works hard but can only pay his debts by selling blood wrote the sorrow in his life, but it reflected the sorrow of that society at that time.

Xu Sanguan's first blood sale can be said to be a coincidence, but it is the inevitable development of things. At that time, people in his hometown and countryside earned extra money by selling blood. Conceptually, people who can sell blood are in good health, while those who can't sell blood are bound to be in poor health, and it is even difficult to marry a wife. The dialogue between Xu Sanguan's grandfather and Xu Sanguan in the book is a good embodiment.

Before selling blood, ordinary citizens were full of greed and cheap mentality. When Gen Long and A Fang took Xu through to sell blood for the first time, they drank seven or eight bowls of water in front of the well, just to dilute the blood. Now, I think this is a complete joke, but at that time, how can I blame them? Just poor. After selling blood, it looks like a career. "A pot of fried pork liver, a cup of rice wine, rice wine should be warm" holding the table, it looks swaggering and full of pictures! But in fact, it is the "blood" sweat money earned by selling blood.

If Xu Sanguan, who sold blood for the first time, was an ignorant attempt and sold blood for the second time to pay off debts, he didn't realize the harm of selling blood frequently to his health. When A Fang and Gen Long became role models and walked ahead, Xu Sanguan realized the harm of selling blood to his health, but at this time he was selling blood like a dog because of Xu Yulan's illness.

In the experience of selling blood, Xu Sanguan sold blood for the first time in the hospital led by Genlong and Afang. The freshness and satisfaction of getting so much money for the first time may be stronger than the demand for money. Xu Sanguan got the money, just like a young man got his first salary. The first time is always precious. Xu Sanguan is not willing to spend the money, not willing to give it to his grandfather, not willing to give it to his fourth uncle. After careful consideration, he decided to marry a wife for himself. So selling blood for the first time brought him Xu Yulan and a home. This seems to indicate Xu Sanguan's later life, and even the experience of selling blood is closely related to this family.

Nine years later, Xu Sanguan, the father of three children, is not much different from Qian Qian's ordinary father, but it has touched me a lot, perhaps because his father is a great role. Yi Le cut Fang Blacksmith's son with a kitchen knife. At this time, the life of He, Xu Sanguan and Xu Yulan experienced great twists and turns for the first time. In order to repay the hospitalization expenses of Fang blacksmith's son, Xu Sanguan sold blood for the second time, and this time he changed back to his home that he had run for ten years. Although Xu Sanguan is willing to sell blood to make up for the mistakes made by Le Yi, he is still worried about whose child Le Yi is. So in his third blood sale, Lin Fenfang became the target of "blood" money. In Xu Sanguan's mind, Xu Yulan can have an affair with him, and the imbalance in his heart is satisfied in this little derailment.

After three years of famine and ten years of Cultural Revolution, my feelings were tempered in difficult days. Xu through Xu Yulan heart already understand each other's meaning. The family criticism meeting and Xu Sanguan's concern for his wife during the Cultural Revolution made my heart warm.

Going to the countryside to jump the queue, seriously ill, selling blood regardless of life, although selling blood regardless of life is so unreasonable, emotionally reasonable, and forced by life, it is also a perfect image of Xu Sanguan.

After getting old, life is getting more and more peaceful, and I finally want to sell blood for myself, but I can't. I feel unbearable loneliness in my heart, and crying is not perfect. The comfort of three plates of fried pork liver is actually over.

In Yu Hua's story, everyone's life is a microcosm of society. Isn't Xu Sanguan's life like this?

Chapter five: Thinking about Xu Sanguan's selling blood.

I just finished reading Xu Sanguan's story of selling blood, and I only read it when I was in a good mood, so I pieced together the novel.

The more I look at the back, the more moved I am. Because Xu Sanguan thinks that Le Yi is not his own son, he didn't take him to eat noodles. He bought this noodle with his blood. Le Yi was very angry and didn't want to admit that such a man was his father. He wanted to find his father, but his father refused to admit him. He shouted everywhere: whoever gives him a bowl of noodles is his father. Later, Xu Sanguan took him to eat noodles ... This plot moved me very much. Yi Le and Xu Sanguan have deep feelings for their father and son. Although Xu thinks he is not his own child, the affection between them is better than his own.

At that time, people had a hard time, and they were very sad. I didn't have enough to eat and clothes, and it was hard for me to feel it. For the present life, our generation should know how to cherish it, live in such a beautiful era, have enough food for you, eat well, wear warm clothes, live well and have advanced medical equipment. These things were not done well enough before, and they are not done well now.

My father used to eat sweet potatoes when he was a child, and almost every meal was sweet potatoes, so now he hardly eats sweet potatoes, and he is already afraid of eating them. A person really has to endure hardships and cannot be pampered. Only after suffering did he know that it was hard to come by and know how to cherish it. I remember when I was very young, I would always pick up some rice outside the bowl and throw it on the table, or there would be some rice left in the bowl. My father would yell at me and tell me to pick up the food on the table and eat it clean. He said that he didn't have anything to eat at that time, and someone would pick one up and eat it when they saw it in the toilet. Every time he eats, he will eat it all at once, leaving not a grain of rice. But when I saw someone eating up every grain of rice, I felt that this person was really pitiful. In fact, this is really a virtue, a virtue of thrift, but I feel shabby. Once I saw a boy pick up all the rice in a lunch box. I felt that he didn't even have enough to eat, so he wolfed it down as if he were going to eat the lunch box. Very shabby. My idea is a little out of line with values, but it should be advocated.

In the process of reading the novel, I always thought that Xu Sanguan would die because of selling blood, but in the end he didn't die, and the ending was quite good.

After reading it, I have a feeling that people should have ideas and knowledge, and one can't have such shallow, ignorant and backward ideas. But at that time, almost everyone had never been to school, had no literacy at all, and became a society and backward. Take raising a child as a burden, a burden. If the child is not your own, you will feel that you are in great misfortune. Being a turtle for so many years, I feel very hateful and my attitude is not as good as before. I don't think about their feelings together in recent years, but I can break the connection between the two people because of a few words and gossip from others.

What I dislike most is some behaviors of Xu Yulan. Whenever something happens, he sits at the gate and shouts. Everyone knows what embarrassment is, and so does everyone. Xu through won't be angry with him. It doesn't matter.

When eating pork liver rice wine, Xu Sanguan learned from others, ordered loudly, and even knocked on the table with his index finger. Even in summer, he never forgets to say "warm rice wine". Using bravado to cover up one's inner cowardice is just like a man who has no money pretending to have money. He doesn't want others to look down on him. I want to rely on these actions and words to raise my social status, so that others will feel that he is a man of status and dare not deceive him. Just like some people in China travel abroad and shout with deep pockets.

Xu Yulan and one of the three children have the same hobby, especially like talking about other people's clothes, telling others what they are wearing today, what they look like, and gossiping, which I can't stand. Today, it still exists widely. Women always like to gossip to fill their spare time and satisfy their boring mind and monotonous life. Some gossip I like to hear, and some I don't. What kind of clothes do you think others wear? You have nothing to nag about. Gossip has always been a woman's hobby. My friend told me one thing. Originally, the man and the woman always said that they were good friends and were going to get engaged and get married. But because of gossip, I don't know who said that this woman was sick and couldn't have children. The nonsense without factual basis even spread, spread to the man's house and exploded.

What women love to do is gossip, which has never changed. Gossip is also interesting. At school, everyone likes to talk about who is in love with whom and who has quarreled with whom ... Other topics can't always arouse everyone's interest, but only this gossip can arouse everyone's interest and chatter. Neighbors mostly talk about who is married to whom, how much money the woman has in her family, how old she is, how the family is, and how many people there are. Then the conversation turned to men. Or someone had a funeral and died for something.

I'm an amateur, too, and I'm very interested in these gossip. Although interested, I heard little through the grapevine.
