I just came to see it because of the homework requirements.
The contradiction throughout the book is the collision of new and old.
I hope you can read it for free and have unlimited time
"Juexin has been dead since he was 19 years old, and cousin Mei died with him. This is the last pull of the lingering system on the weak. Except for Juemin and Juehui, no one in this family has been saved."
very good
Juehui is brave, persistent, and unites knowledge and action. Many other people are described as cowardly, but not all, such as Juemin, Qin and Juehui's friends.
Young people who belong to the gloom of that era all have a heart that can cut through the darkness to see the light of day. During their resistance and struggle, there were many unknown and bitter past events.
Juexin is a very important figure in the family described by Mr. Ba Jin, and he is also a character with a very distinctive personality. . Juexin has not yet felt the cruelty of fate, and he is so outstanding.
Ignorance and awakening
Those teenagers with more or less sad pasts gradually untied the ropes that bound their wings and the locks that bound their lives, and either resisted or escaped, and ran towards the distance that belonged to them. The dead are dead, the living are still alive.
Relive the classics
Revisiting a classic feels like reading a new book. It feels completely different from the last time I read it.
Just because of the conflict between his elders at the mahjong table, Juexin lost his childhood sweetheart and married an unknown woman. And this marriage was actually decided by drawing lots.
If the author were still around I would pay to read it! You're going against the author's wishes.
If the author were still alive, I would still spend money to read it no matter how poor I was! Now, isn't this a bit contrary to the author's message?
