Oh my God! My boss is indeed a god with an unattainable inner state! The quality of this book is beyond words! The boss is teaching us how to behave again??
A life in a circle of blood
The descriptions in this book are very realistic. In my eyes, Xu Sanguan is a kind, responsible, and strong person. Although there will inevitably be some minor conflicts with others in the book, the characters still stand up! He Xiaoyong was hit by a car and needed Yile to call out his soul. Although Xu Sanguan and Xu Yulan both said strongly that it was impossible, they turned around and were still willing to help him. It is true that Xu Sanguan hates He Xiaoyong, and it is true that he is venomous, but he still sticks to the kindness in his heart and the bottom line of his life. Let's talk about Yile. We actually don't know whether Yile is Xu Sanguan's son. (I also look similar to Fan Bingbing, but no one says that Fan Bingbing and I are mother and daughter.) However, it is no longer that important. Blood is thicker than water, but love is thicker than blood. Even if the relationship for so many years is not biological, it is better than biological, not to mention that Yile has always recognized such a biological father. Children are innocent, and they can distinguish who is good to them and who is not good to them, so he regards Xu Sanguan as his biological father, and he is also moved by Xu Sanguan, who is willing to sacrifice his life and blood to save his life. On the way to sell blood, Sanguan met many kind-hearted people who were willing to do their best when they saw him in trouble. This made the journey less lonely and difficult, and also made his heart, which seemed to have been frozen by the winter, a little warmer. The two people Sanguan met on the road were just like him when he was young. They had endless physical strength and energy. I seemed to see them resolutely going to the hospital to sell blood when they were getting married and had children, during the years of famine and when their children were sick. They will also drink eight bowls of water, eat a handful of salt, and then order two plates of fried pork liver and two ounces of rice wine. I'm glad that the end of the book is not a tragedy. When I saw that Xu Sanguan had the idea of selling blood again, I already had an ending in mind: he collapsed due to lack of physical strength as his life was getting better and better. This "imaginary ending" made me reluctant to watch it anymore. However, although the ending is not a tragedy, it cannot be called a comedy either. Xu Sanguan was old after all, so old that he couldn't even sell his blood. We also grow old with him. But the lives we have experienced, the youth and efforts we have put in, will slowly come back to us in our memories like this book. When I think back, ah, I once suffered so much, I don't know how I got through it, but I just got through it. At this time, reward yourself with a plate, oh no, three plates of fried pork liver!
When Xu Sanguan knew that Yile was not his biological child, he was unwilling to buy him a bowl of noodles. But when he was sick, he sold blood all the way to pay for medical expenses. Perhaps this is the mouth of a knife and the heart of tofu. An ordinary person who still has a kind heart despite the oppression of life.
Yu Hua's works depict the ordinary lives of small people in the market, with hope, darkness, and struggles. Ordinary people may experience things that can penetrate into your heart.
If you like Yu Hua's books, he can always touch your heart.

I burst into tears after watching it
At the end, when Xu Sanguan went to sell blood for the last time, he was rejected and ridiculed by the young Chen Xuetou, and Xu Sanguan cried on the street. I have been thinking about what to do if something happens to my family again and I need money. I actually burst into tears. It was touching that this old man over sixty years old still thought about shouldering the responsibilities of the family by himself, but he never thought that his three children had grown up, which reminded me of my father. There are so many touching plots in the book, but the simplicity of the last scene is even more touching. No wonder this is the novel that Hu Ge most wants to make into a movie. I think he and I will have the same feeling when I finish reading this book! The humbleness and great goodness of human nature are reflected to the extreme in this book!
I don't understand why Teacher Yu Hua's books are all in the third edition. What does it mean?
Look how many people watch it because of the boss?0?4
