It's a very interesting story about the simple and unpretentious countryside during China's land reform period★
The human heart is like a lily. It has as many branches as there are petals. If you open it petal by petal, it turns out there is a core hidden inside. The human heart is unpredictable, that's what it means. It is easy for a person to see through life and death. After all, life and death are not decided by people, but one must truly see through fame and fortune. Letting go of desire is difficult.
A good book worth recommending!
I only read about Father, who asked for money later, and the details were well described.
Even if we see the spring breeze, the fields are already deserted.
I feel like not many people know this book
Times change, things change and people change, and we move toward death step by step under the urging of time. But those people and those things, no matter they were once glorious or lonely, are ultimately just a handful of loess. The plot of the novel is very delicate, like an old man who has experienced vicissitudes looking back on his life. What this book conveys to us may be what we are looking for! !
That misty Jiangnan that everyone calls, the Ruli Zhao Village that the author delicately describes, the time passing by will never be forgotten or retained.
Although I was asked to read it, I still read it carefully. The people in this village made me feel the changes of the times.
In life, as long as you are happy and healthy, there are no obstacles that you cannot overcome.
I just finished reading it. I don't usually read books. I occasionally feel that I should get into the habit of reading. I encountered this book by fate. It is the first book in a long time. It is a faint memory and a slow narration. Those distant and lively hometown villages that have become ruins say that memories are beautiful and arouse my own memories. The sweetness can be exuded from the lines. After a while, my whole life has passed like this. When I look up at the current world, my current life also seems sad and helpless as the article ends. People are like ants. In front of the big bulldozer of the times, you have to leave even if you don't want to. . . .
