Vegetarian (new Version)
About This Novel
In order to escape the violence from her husband, family, society and the crowd, she decided to become a tree. In the eyes of Yinghui's husband, Mr. Zheng, Yinghui before her illness was an ordinary woman: neither tall nor short, hair neither long nor short, plain in appearance, dressed in ordinary clothes, docile, plain and quiet. Just as he hoped, Yinghui perfectly played the role of an ordinary wife-taking care of the housework and serving her husband, just like thousands of traditional women. However, after a nightmare, the wife suddenly began to refuse to eat meat and refused to prepare meat dishes for the family. In the end, she began to reject her "human" identity and regarded herself as a plant, a plant that only needed sunlight and water and refused any food or communication. And as her passive rebellion manifests itself in increasingly extreme and horrific forms, scandal, abuse, and alienation begin to spiral her into her fantasy space. In a complete metamorphosis of mind and body, her now dangerous endeavors will take Yeong-hye-impossibly, ecstatically, tragically-away from the self she once knew.

In the past, the violence against people in society was so direct, "You are my slave, you should take my orders as a matter of course." Now it is gradually turning into invisible violence, "You should listen to your parents, it is natural, you should be a wife, it is natural, you should eat meat, it is natural." And when a slave (group) realizes that his situation is so unfair, just like the protagonist realizes that women (group) are so unfair, they will start to resist But individual resistance is weak Just like slaves realize their status as slaves, violent resistance will be punished by death, and passive resistance means starving to death in the wilderness, just like the freedom of workers means the freedom of being exploited by capitalists and the freedom of starving to death on the streets. Through reading (there is a paragraph in the article describing the protagonist's love of reading), the heroine realized that the environment she was in was so unfair and that human life should not be like this. She couldn't stand it anymore, and she refused to eat meat (this kind of social imposition and social discipline that seems to be taken for granted) But she obviously didn't realize it, and she didn't reflect on what caused this violence and how to solve it. The author describes the tragic situation of women among disadvantaged people through female narratives, but obviously does not find a solution Even if the heroine commits suicide and becomes a tree, there will still be another tree The entire social mechanism is constantly reproducing "trees" Finally you will see the whole forest This kind of resistance is weak and weak, kneeling to resist Just like people who have encountered school violence, the way to encourage them to resist is to commit suicide.
My first thought after reading this book is that we are all suspected of being mentally ill.
Although it is only tens of thousands of words, it took me more than 2 hours to finish reading it. I felt a little confused after reading it. Compared with the hundreds of thousands of words or even millions of Internet novels I usually read, these tens of thousands of words of literary works are indeed more touching.
Every soul has a dancer, imprisoned in the four formed bodies
Everyone does not treat Yinghui as a human being, but Yinghui is not allowed to treat herself as a human being.
Can trees really grow from nothing? Or is it life itself? The face Yinghui mentioned is itself a kind of nothingness. In this dream that has been superimposed countless times, life can only continue to wither. Is the body despicable? Or is it a state of being constantly tamed? But a bird with wings and constantly intertwined patterns is like a fish leaping in a net bag, and it still cannot escape the net of nothingness...
As if his heart was grasped by invisible hands, he launched a series of instinctive resistance. My sister was so stubborn that she turned herself into a tree, refused to eat, and only accepted sunlight and water. My sister was shouldering the responsibility of raising children in the back mountain before dawn and could not find a tree to "accept" her life. Dare to "live" or dare to "die" requires courage. At the end of the chapter, the elder sister leaned into her younger sister's ear and said: "In the dream, we thought that was all. But you know, when we woke up, we found that it was not all... So, one day, when we woke up..." Just treat it like a dream and live with the belief that you will always wake up.

Q, because there was no love period from the beginning, so there won't be any special burnout period. Straight qOf course there is no way to know how unbearable it is. But I saw that no other woman hated boring books that she didn't even want to touch. When it was time to eat, she would go out of the room and prepare the meal silently. Frankly speaking, living with such a woman is not interesting at all. QIn this way, I can look a little more decent when meeting my friends. After marriage, my wife simply stopped wearing clothes at home. It became a natural choice for me to get married as an ordinary woman. From the beginning, those women who were described as beautiful, smart, charming, and wealthy girls only made me feel uncomfortable. She got up at six o'clock and prepared a table of breakfast with soup, rice, and fish for me. Moreover, the side job she had been doing since before marriage also more or less supplemented the family income. My wife once worked as a teaching assistant at a computer graphics school for a year. She would usually take comics from some publishers and wallow in them, but she would stay behind closed doors. I guess she was working or reading a book. Q is neither tall nor short, has hair that is neither long nor short, yellowish skin covered with cuticles, single eyelids and slightly raised cheekbones, and is dressed in dark clothes that are afraid of attracting attention. She was wearing minimalist black leather shoes and walked slowly and steadily toward the dining table where I was sitting. QI don't have to pretend to be knowledgeable in order to win her heart, nor do I have to worry about being late for an appointment, nor do I have to ask for trouble by comparing myself to the men in fashion magazines. My swollen belly since I was twenty-five years old, my skinny limbs that cannot grow muscle no matter how hard I try, and my short stature that always makes me feel inferior.
I read it in one go. What attracted me was that I really wanted to know whether Yinghui's soul had been upgraded and liberated. She has been mentally and physically tortured by her primitive family since she was a child, and her husband has been indifferent and even contemptuous. When I became mentally ill, I didn't get guidance from my family and husband, see a psychiatrist, or be given a vegetarian meal with respect. Regardless of whether the brother-in-law's motives were pure, Yinghui's heart moved when she saw the paintings on her body and the people who also had paintings. It should be the most comfortable few days in her life. At least she was not forced, had no nightmares, and was respected as a vegetarian. My sister is also an admirable person. But it is impossible to enter Yinghui's spiritual world.
