The Ninth Widow
by Yan Geling
About This Novel
"The Ninth Widow" is an important masterpiece of the famous female writer Yan Geling, and it is also her transformational work. The work tells the legendary story of a widow named Wang Putao in the Central Plains who hid her landowner father-in-law during the land reform period. The time spans from the 1940s to the 1980s. The grand historical narrative is combined with the personal legendary experience, and the profound feelings of helping the world are combined with the rich flavor of life. Wang Putao is one of the most radiant female characters in Yan Geling's works. She is powerful and arrogant, persevering and charming. Her indiscriminate benevolence and all-embracing generosity make her transcend all conflicts of interest in the world. The plot of the novel unfolds from the gap between Putao's role as a child bride to cover her father-in-law's filial piety, and her strong lust as a widow to have secret love with different men. It depicts the brilliance of human nature and embodies the true energy and origin of the folk land.

Aftertaste of life
That period of history was a misfortune for the people, especially the working people! Among this group of unfortunate people, grapes are their representative, but not their representative. Her misfortune and the misfortune of the country are closely linked, exaggerating and contrasting each other. She became an orphan at the age of 7 and was sold to a "landlord" as a child bride. She became a wife when she was less than 14 years old, and instantly became a widow. At this time, the country's environment was also deteriorating rapidly. She was just like them, even worse than other widows. However, she did not give in, but submitted to the situation. With her unique perspective, advanced insights, responsibility and responsibility, she was in sharp contrast to the ignorance and ignorance of the time. Through her portrayal, we believe that misfortune will eventually pass and people still have hope! Even in any period, may we be like Grape, a person who does not follow the crowd, a person with ideals, character, responsibility, responsibility, and a bottom line.
Grape
Putao lives her life in her own way. In the eyes of others, she is an overbearing, unreasonable, and ignorant rural girl, but she will touch everyone around her with her kindness. The author makes an extremely ordinary character live out the characteristics of the new women of the times. The writing brought an entire era to life.
Finally finished reading
The author wrote this article well and clearly. He not only wrote about the life of Wang Putao, but also the lives of many people, reflecting the backwardness, poverty, and selfishness of the human heart. Wang Putao and Sun Huaiqing have to be admired. In such an era, with ups and downs, they could face the hardships calmly. Wang Putao has loved so many men, divided her heart into many parts, and given her body to many people. She dares to love and hate. Sometimes she is indeed fierce and stupid, but this is because she is kind and simple in heart. She is a good mother and has always loved him, as long as he is alive and well.
imprint of the times
That era was a misfortune for the country and the people. Tao Tao did not follow the trend of that era. He was assertive, responsible, conscious and grateful. He was kind, brave and lovely, and lived a practical and wonderful life! Yes, grapes are the real beauty!
I'm envious of Wang Putao. I'm envious of her bravery and perseverance. I'm envious of her ability to distinguish between love and hate. I'm envious of her wisdom and love.
Several times I felt that Sun Erda would not be able to make it through, but several times he came through again. What a strong and stubborn person! Grape has finally survived the most difficult days, and good times are coming! Grapes, well done!!!
I want to read, but I don't have enough book money.
The most difficult and turbulent times are vividly expressed through small characters
The most difficult and turbulent period is vividly expressed through small characters, and the ending is very subtle.
No matter what era you are in, you should take life as seriously as Erda and Putao.
The imprint of the times is deep, and it is a good book worth reading.
Wang Putao is a typical representative of great wisdom and foolishness, so he looks simple and cute
