Reflection on The Story of Vulgar Self-cultivation (1): A good book that I finished in one sitting in February.
February 27th, 2022 is a sunny Saturday. After reading this book and watching TV series at home, I found the original novel, a small book with more than 200 pages, which is about the growth diary of an ordinary girl in Tainan. It's easy to read. The memories woven by 28 fragments and many memories about her family will be awakened slowly in the book.
"An indispensable part of family life is that adults take their children to cope with the absurdity of the times." The interesting stories of childhood, the feelings of family members and the special snacks in southern Fujian show the life of a small family in Tainan. Only with such a loving family can we have such an excellent and ordinary "Chen Jialing".
In this troubled world, I can set aside some time to read such books and find myself as a child. 5 star recommendation.
Reflections on the Story of Vulgar Female Cultivation (2): Ordinary
Through prose after prose, the author Jiang E recorded her childhood life, her grandfather, grandmother, mother and father, and her childhood. Some things I experienced as a child, although only common at present, are still too young, too late, or don't know how to sort out those small feelings of "accidents", even though I sometimes feel a little surprised. When I grew up with these feelings of being a director, I suddenly understood the confusion of the time. Just like when I was a child, my mother and I were the only ones at home, but on holidays, my grandparents, grandparents, aunts and cousins would all come to live in my house, and the quiet home suddenly became very lively. My biggest concern is: "How to sleep tonight?" Who am I going to sleep with? As far as I can remember, whenever many people go home, I can't seem to find my mother. Many years later, my mother told me that she was afraid of grandparents and aunts coming, because she was going to be a waiter soon, and she couldn't make mistakes or neglect anyone. At this time, I realized that it is no wonder that in those busy days, I always secretly feel that my mother is too busy to take care of me, and at the same time I feel that my mother seems to be too busy to find her, which is a bit strange. I always think of my home when I see Jiang E writing about her home.
Reflections on "Vulgar Cultivation" (Ⅲ): Notes on Tainan Rural Areas
In a collection of essays, the author wrote down her memories of rural Tainan, interesting childhood stories and nostalgia for her hometown. Compared with the ups and downs and exaggerated banter of popular TV series, the loveliness and gentleness of this book have become two irrelevant worlds. The story in the book is steady and the writing is eye-catching. The author confided a little dissatisfaction between the lines, but he was also very sensible and sensible.
Talk about rural anecdotes, strong relatives, and women's plight.
In the cheerful atmosphere of the book, there is an article about the death of grandparents, which really surprised me, but it is also reasonable.
