Red Gate of Straw House (II) Main Contents

Du Xiaokang's family became poor because of soy sauce. From the "favored son" of the richest family in Yau Ma Tei, he suddenly experienced the decline of his family. After being forced to drop out of school, he went away with his father to raise ducks. After failing to release the duck, he gave all five big and green double yellow duck eggs to Sang Sang. These five duck eggs are probably all the wealth he brought back from the road, and Sang Sang also sold his beloved pigeons for Du Xiaokang and gave all his money to Du Xiaokang to help him tide over the difficulties.

In the end, the creditor came to the door, and Du Xiaokang's father pulled down two Dahongmen doors that once brought glory and self-sufficiency to the exclusive generation. ......

Cao Wenxuan's classic novel The Straw House has been selling well since it was published in 1997. Each version has been printed nearly 300 times and translated into English, French, Japanese and Korean.

After the publication of Straw House, it won the Bingxin Children's Literature Award, the 4th National Excellent Children's Literature Award of Chinese Writers Association and the 4th National Book Award, and was selected as one of the "100 Children's Literature Classics in China". The film of the same name adapted from the novel also caused a sensation, and won the 19 Golden Rooster Award for Best Screenplay, 1998 China Film Observation Award, the 4th Cowboy Award and Film Critics Award, and the 14 Teheran International Film Festival Jury Special Award.

The chapter "Red Gate II" is undoubtedly very eye-catching in the whole novel. The author wrote at the beginning that Du Xiaokang's father spent all his savings at home because of illness. The wealthy family suddenly became poor, and there was nothing at home, only Du Xiaokang was left. Du Xiaokang, who used to like playing with others, doesn't go out to play now.

The original Du Xiaokang was uninhibited, naturally active, and usually talked a lot, but because he stayed in the Red Gate for too long and spent too little time communicating with people, he became very calm, indifferent and naughty.

Now he should be more sensible, but because he has no books to read. Eager to learn, he can only sit on the tree fork nearest to Yau Ma Tei Primary School and watch what the children are doing. He begged his mother to let him go to school, but because there was no money at home, there was nothing her mother could do. Once he stole someone else's book to read.

What makes Du Xiaokang sensible is not blindly doting and proudly showing off, nor an easy life, but setbacks, difficulties and adversity. A complete life is not to have everything and get everything, but to learn to be strong and behave in adversity. The bumpy road of life is like the lack of a full moon, but you won't say that the moon is black, so the turning point and change of life are also meaningful.
