Another new work by Yu Hua, Wencheng, came out. When I was reading, I suddenly saw a different yuhua.
I used to watch Brothers and Alive, and I always felt the hardships and cruelty of life. This time, when we watched Wencheng, we felt the enthusiasm and persistence of life through casual warmth.
Lin Fuxiang, the son of a landlord, lives in the north. There is land, technology and culture. I lost my father and my mother when I was young. I grew up with the housekeeper.
Xiaomei, a child bride in a darning workshop, lives in the south. Young and beautiful, sentimental, ambiguous, 10 years old married into the Shen family and became a child bride, smart and clever.
If there were no twists and turns in life, they wouldn't have an intersection. However, the impermanence of the world gave them the opportunity to cross roads, which began a major change in their life trajectory.
Lin Fuxiang, in the land of the north, lived a solid life, with money and loyal servants. However, a brother and sister passed by his house on their way to Beijing to find their relatives. A bowl of water and a meal were all well-intentioned, but Xiaomei's so-called brother used it and left Xiaomei to him.
Xiaomei fell in love with Lin Fuxiang from beginning to end, and then fled with gold bars. Yu Hua doesn't use much pen and ink, but he portrays the characters in a real and touching way, making you feel emotional with the emotions of the characters.
When Xiaomei comes back, she wants to leave her children with Lin Fuxiang, because she still agrees with her feelings with Lin Fuxiang. It's just that she always thinks she is yang shen's child bride, and A Qiang still loves him.
Lin Fuxiang didn't blame Xiaomei for stealing gold bars, nor did he ask where to find them. He held another wedding and put their irons on the stove. Be careful when you worry about breaking the bowl with Geng Tie every day. When Geng Tie Bowl was intact a month later, he wished Xiaomei could live with him forever.
He is worried about everything because he is afraid that Xiaomei will disappear again.
When Xiaomei disappeared again, he was desperate and lost, but when he saw his baby daughter, he decided to go to the south to find Xiaomei.
He has never been to the south, and he doesn't know where Xiaomei lives. He only remembers that A Qiang said Wencheng, so he sold gold bars, pawned his family business and took his daughter to find Wencheng and Xiaomei.
In the process of going south, they took a carriage to the boat, and their daughter and the silver ticket were put together because they were his fate. The daughter is here, the silver ticket is here, and the daughter is not here. What's the point of him asking for a silver ticket?
All the way to ask Wencheng, people have never heard of this place. He continued to walk south.
Lin Fuxiang is not Sister Xianglin. He kept asking Wen Cheng repeatedly, persistently looking for Xiaomei who had given him brilliant sunshine. In the process of searching, I asked where Wencheng was while looking for milk for my child.
When passing through Xixi Town, he heard an accent similar to Xiaomei's and thought it was Wencheng, but everyone said they didn't know Wencheng. This is Xixi Town.
So he went south to find Xiaomei, but as he walked, he felt that his accent was wrong. He thinks Xixi Town is Wencheng, and A Qiang lied to him. There is no success at all. When he returned to Xixi Town in the snowstorm, he decided to wait for Xiaomei here, but he didn't know that he had missed the last time with Xiaomei.
The end of Xiaomei is the beginning of Lin Fuxiang in Xixi Town.
Ten years later, although Lin Fuxiang is no longer looking for Xiaomei, he is still waiting for Xiaomei to appear and wait for her in Wencheng.
However, in the era when bandits were rampant and warlords were fighting, no day was peaceful.
Chen Youliang, Gu Yimin, Chen, Chen Meilian, monks, etc. They were all heroes who were forced out of that era. Lin Baijia, who grew up drinking hundreds of milk, was kind and pure. They vividly interpreted that era in the book.
"Wencheng" and "Wenchengbu" complete the whole story, but they also bury more clues for us to associate.
When the five Tian brothers come to take Lin Fuxiang home, we will be moved by these kind and loyal servants.
Therefore, "Wencheng" is different from all previous works, and she has warmth. However, warm sand castles were destroyed by wildness and established by human nature in the tide of history.
Everyone has a city in his heart, which can be a cultural city, a flower city or a pottery city. This city is full of all your stories. The city you are trying to find may be just a little beautiful vision.
In Wencheng, Lin Fuxiang is not only looking for Xiaomei, but also a yearning for life.
Are you also looking for the city in your heart? What's its name?
