Four Generations Under One Roof (two volumes)-book review
Four generations living under one roof is originally a festive image. But because of Lao She's work, whenever the phenomenon of four generations living under one roof is mentioned, we will always, consciously or unconsciously, go to the years when the Marco Polo Bridge Incident broke out and Peking fell, and to the life scenes of Mr. Qi. The pain left to us by the Japanese invaders, through literary means, reminds us of the continuation of our national integrity of self-improvement and hard work.
Bang bang bang bang
Comment less and think more. . .
A masterpiece, must be praised. . .
Although I have only read half of Four Generations Under One Roof, the ignorance of people at that time was really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. What impressed me most was when the enemy attacked the Marco Polo Bridge. Mr. Qi actually said that the Japanese wanted the stone lions on the Marco Polo Bridge. The irony is profound. The third child of the Qi family made it clear that what the Japanese wanted was for all of China, but it failed to arouse people's resistance, which shows that the people are deeply corrupt.
It's a classic
Very good. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I watched a drama performance and was deeply impressed by Big Chibao
Opening the book is helpful.
Now I realize that the most important thing in novels is to be "real". Lao She is a first-class famous writer, but I personally feel that this novel lacks reality. Personally, I think the character Qian Moyin cannot withstand the scrutiny of facts. But the structure of the entire novel is still large and complete.
Opening the book is helpful.
