The Legend of Hulan River
by Xiao Hong
About This Novel
Mao Dun commented that "The Story of Hulan River" is "a narrative poem, a colorful folk painting, and a string of sad ballads." Life in the small town of Hulan River may be a bit dull. Xiao Hong uses painterly language to "present bold, red and green primitive colors in front of the gray background of daily life", outlining scenes full of childlike images.

Where can I catch the floating catkins in my hometown?
Pick it up, put it down, pick it up again, put it down again, so many times, it has been postponed for several years, and finally it has come to an end. It turns out that when I was a child, I loved the beauty of the lead, did not know deep feelings, loved the waves, and did not understand the still water. Time is really a good thing. You can use all kinds of ingenuity to dissolve everything and let it disappear in silence... A simple biography, plain, simple, simple, slightly cool words, a slightly cold heart, weaving together a set It cannot be said that I can't help but sweat and shed tears on that figure full of eagerness but doomed to be cold and helpless... Looking at it now, the light and shadow of the past generation will inevitably fade away. The situation of more than half a century ago will no longer be the same. No matter how turbulent and exciting it is, it is just sparse and ordinary. The most complicated, the most ingenious, thick or light, they all passed by in a hurry. I can't remember it, and I am too lazy to search for it. But It was when time went back to that time and space where the storm filled the building, when the homeland and homeland were like fluff, the desolate wilderness, the barren land, and the orphaned girl who had fallen into a foreign land, inadvertently picked up the time, tied it into a string of memory threads, and hung it in a corner of the historical building, letting the wind blow, swaying silently, as if it had never existed, like this, day by day... But some people are sentimental, and inadvertently look back and catch their eyes. , Understanding, he gently pulled the silk thread, took it off, hung the wind chime below, and then hung it up again. Later, whenever the wind blew, there would be a crisp sound. People passing by were attracted by the sound of the bell, stopped to appreciate it, and were fascinated by the boundless beauty, forgetting the way back, not knowing the way back... Then, a few drops of clear tears fell down the cheeks, for no reason - just because they understand, yes, understand, they understand.
The people in Hulan River are always too cold-blooded, approaching the rationality of human nature. If you can survive it, it will pass; if you cannot survive it, it will die out due to natural selection. The reunion daughter-in-law was severely beaten and looked down upon by the people around her just because her appearance, personality and height were more mature than ordinary people. And her mother-in-law thought this kind of thing was normal and the beating was not too serious. I spent so much money looking for trouble, and ended up feeling sorry for my own money. In the end, it is understandable that his eldest daughter-in-law chose to elope with someone else. The second daughter-in-law died, and she was the next one to be offended. In the past, there was domestic violence among the elders in the family. I asked the elders why they didn't run away? Where to escape? There is no food on the way to escape, and if you are not careful, you will be trafficked to a police station or a border area. Domestic violence in China has lasted for thousands of years. The female pioneers have gained their status with their flesh and blood in modern times. I hope that women in our new era can be more independent and carry the banner of women's rights. Don't be willing to become a man's vassal again just because of money.
In the haze, with a simple style of writing, he writes simple yet elegant sentences. The true feelings between the lines are revealed. It is truly a masterpiece!
In order to complete the homework, work hard!
I didn't read it on my mobile phone. I bought a copy myself. It's very interesting. The ugliness and kindness of human nature have two sides. For example, there were many mothers-in-law who were sold as child brides in that era. He was not bad at heart, but his feudal superstition eventually killed the girl. It cannot be said that she is good or bad. Everything in the world is not black and white. Everything has two sides.

When I first read this book, I felt it was quite relaxing and interesting. However, as I read it slowly, my heart sank a little bit... The characters in the author's works have different destinies, but they all reach the same destination by different paths. They are all at the bottom of the Hulan River. They live, grow old, sick and die in their own way. Poverty and isolation are common, and living a plain life is the best state. I have finished reading, but the characters in the book still remain in my mind, such as the old grandfather, the second uncle, the old cook, the mother-in-law of the old Hu family, the daughter-in-law of Little Reunion, Feng Waizuizi... Each character left a deep impression on people, making people deep in thought for a long time and unable to speak...
The appearance of some people is like an alarm clock. You can tell what time it is as soon as you see him. If this person is not trapped by the system, then he must be a respectable person
The simple words, although not a beautiful story, can make people think and taste it! Good!
This book is really good. Although it is just a short story, it can leave the deepest memory for people. I think these are probably Xiao Hong's most precious memories. I like Xiao Hong's character in the book very much, and the language and true feelings in this book are very well described and simple.
