Half of a Man is a Woman
About This Novel
The first novel in contemporary Chinese literature to break through the "sexual forbidden zone", it was selected as one of the "Top 100 Chinese Novels of the 20th Century" by Asia Weekly. After "I" was released from the labor camp, I met Huang Xiangjiu, a woman I had a double relationship with eight years ago in a farm that was once called "Ghost Gate". Although I had only met twice before, and the second time I met her only when passing by in a hurry, this woman named Huang Xiangjiu left an indelible impression on me. The first time I saw Huang Xiangjiu was in the drainage ditch in the rice field of the labor camp: Huang Xiangjiu was taking a bath! Huang Xiangjiu seemed to have forgotten everything and was concentrating on enjoying the joy of taking a bath. She forgot herself, and "I" also forgot myself.

No matter when, women are half of men's sky
Half of a man is a woman. It is the imprint of an era and the memory of a generation. We go through ups and downs, move forward in thinking, embrace hope, and never abandon or give up.
When you want to leave someone, it's best to let that person do something to hurt you first.
I have already written through the emotions at this point. I have read this book twice. How many emotions are shown in the fictional characters, love and hate are entangled, and every scene is reality. Chapter 25 is the inevitable routine for all love breakups. It is the same for everyone, and everyone can find themselves.
think,
It took me two days to read it. I don't know what I gained, but I am very open-minded at the moment. There are some things that have been aching in my heart, but I no longer have them. I think the enlightenment of people's thoughts must be preceded by sexual enlightenment, which is progress.
Based on the changes in the national system caused by the relationship between men and women, it explains the experiences and contradictory lives of people in that era. What is more important is to express the destruction of human nature and the destruction of people's lives in that era. It uses the name of eating and drinking to attract the majority of the people, and also spreads the author's criticism of that era and triggers deep thinking. . . .
Happiness is a miracle, misfortune is the norm. His era was so vividly depicted in his writings. Really well written.
After reading it, the great thing about a good book is that it makes you daydream after reading it!
Weapons of criticism are not as good as weapons of criticism
Whatever is not in the senses does not exist in the intellect.
Interesting!
