Mr. Lao She uses "Crescent Moon" as a clue, uses beautiful words and delicate brushwork to describe the most tragic situation of women in the old society, exposing the light of hypocritical morality, which is unexpected and even more desolate.
The plain text, indifferent tone, short and powerful words describe the tragic environment at that time, the chaotic era, the confused people, the war was everywhere, and no one could escape. This is not a novel, it is a realistic account of the lives of many women at that time.
This book is worthy of being written by Mr. Lao She. Many plots are described vividly and vividly. Many places in the book have back-and-forth references and a rigorous structure. "Crescent Moon" is a pun, which not only refers to the crescent moon in the sky, but also refers to the innocence of women. This book profoundly reflects the tragic fate of women in the old society and alludes to the dark social reality at that time. It has profound social significance, is thought-provoking and thought-provoking. One can't help but sigh that we are so lucky to be living in a prosperous age today! Women have a higher right to speak and have freedom. They no longer need to be bound by feudal ethics. They can let go and get the life they want through their own efforts and chase their dreams! I hope that our contemporary girls can encourage each other! (^v^)
I found this book because I was reading it during the winter vacation. After reading it, I had to praise Lao She's delicate writing style and vivid descriptions of the characters. From it, I also learned about the inhumanity of the Republic of China, the law of the jungle, and the unfair oppression of women in the feudal society. Yes, they were pressed step by step in life, but they finally succumbed. This behavior was rational, because the folk customs and social trends at that time were like this. If you didn't give in, you would have to eat an unfinished meal with very little money, and in the end you would freeze to death or starve to death. I deeply sympathize with the women at that time, and I know that no one can help you. In the end, you have to rely on yourself, because only you are the most trustworthy. Girls should love themselves and be better to themselves!
Everyone's work, its words will also be refreshing. The feeling is indescribable. Only when you see it yourself can you understand the feeling. The crescent moon is my light, but it flickers on and off, as if it is there or not. In any era, people have endless pressure, that indescribable pain, that suffocating pain. It was like that in that era, and it is also like that now. Working nine to five, working hard, from being a student to starting a career, to all kinds of helplessness after work, to all kinds of trivial matters in the family. Wherever there are people, there must be right and wrong. In all things, all living beings are suffering. I only hope that you can enjoy the suffering, and the crescent moon in your heart will last forever.
I read the first few chapters by listening to the book while eating. At that time, I couldn't control my tears and would not let them fall. The protagonist of the novel, Yue Yaer, does not even have her own name. She regards the shimmering Yue Yaer as her spiritual sustenance. Under the black fog of feudal society at that time, it was difficult for low-class people to survive, and it was even more difficult for women at the bottom to survive. Maybe the body became the capital to survive, but the appearance would become old and the charm would no longer exist. The exchange of bodies brings not only physical torture, but also mental damage and broken souls. Yue Ya'er and her mother relied on each other, and they indeed embarked on the road of secret prostitution. How unfortunate and painful this was! The author Lao She uses delicate pen and ink to outline the protagonist's appearance and psychological description. The vivid language is profound and thorough, alerting and amazing. Worth reading 📖.
This short story tells the story of the pain of lower-class women during the Republic of China. The author deliberately did not give the heroine a name, which further highlights the humbleness of lower-class women. At the end of the story, the heroine meets Yue Yaer again. Yue Yaer serves as the story line of the entire novel, which metaphors the heroine's psychology and promotes the development of the story. The heroine's life was miserable, and in the end she was finally freed when she was imprisoned. She lived for food all her life, and finally lived for herself when she was about to die. The whole book is dark and depressing, but the ending is bright.
I like to read Lao She's novels, which contain the atmosphere of fireworks and the ordinary people's business. It's as if those stories are all around you. Although after reading it, I couldn't help but sympathize with their helplessness and misery. The mother and daughter in Crescent Moon, after losing the protection of men, had to take the most despised and undignified road in order to survive. They didn't know what hell was like, but the filth and ugliness, ruthlessness and cruelty of this world had thrown these weak women into hell. Being able to have enough food and clothing is a happy dream, and love is the moon in the sky.
Tragedy destroys the valuable things in life for people to watch, and comedy tears apart the worthless things for people to watch. If you think about it carefully, isn't the life of ordinary people a tragedy? But I also say that you still have to be full of enthusiasm for life.
The delicate and smooth description of the inner activities outlines the downfall of a tragic figure who will never be disgusted. Reading to the end, even crying out is a blasphemy to this tragic figure. The lonely protagonist is just like the pure but extremely cold crescent moon swallowed up by the thick night. The light is limited, but the darkness is infinite. This reminds me of a passage in Luotuo Xiangzi, "Living is the heaviest stone that weighs on everyone's heart in that era.
I looked up at the dark sky, and I was a little confused. Why couldn't I find the clean and pure crescent moon at all? It was as if the night had dragged her... Into the abyss
Mr. Lao She's writing style is truly "real". He told the story of her life as a miserable woman in feudal society. The mother who enlightened her was just a victim of feudal society. Women could not find a job and had to rely on "selling" to support themselves and their daughter. The mother worked hard to make money for her daughter to study, hoping that her destiny would change. Seeing that, I thought that under such circumstances, my daughter's story would be as bright as the bright light emitted by the crescent moon. Little did they know that in feudal society, mother could not escape her fate. The daughter's will to strengthen herself and love herself was being worn away day by day, and finally the day came when she had no other way out. Society restricts women and also restricts the thoughts of generations.
It was super depressing to watch. In a short space, it outlines an extremely absurd and dark era. In the final analysis, it only consists of two words: "living", and these two words are extremely difficult.
Reading this book really gave me chills down my spine! Money can force an innocent girl to the point where she has to sell herself. What a bloody reality! What's even more terrifying is that this reality is also the truth of the world: money is king! Why!
After reading it, I felt very sad. It is a novel and a true portrayal of the life of women at the bottom of that era. The step-by-step degeneration of those who are kind is even more painful. They are women, and the one who eats their flesh and blood is men; they are also poor, and the one who eats their flesh and blood is the times.
Mr. Lao She's observation of life is meticulous, and he describes the shape and image of the characters deeply. His writing is concise, his vocabulary is concise and precise, and he has all kinds of common sayings at his fingertips. This is a very good literary short story, and it is an excellent work for book lovers who want to feel the charm of the older generation's master of writing and language. Mr. Lao She likes to cast his gaze on the little people at the bottom of society. "Crescent Moon": Mother and daughter have fallen into prostitution one after another. The most painful thing in life is that after waking up from the dream, there is no way out! In the end, only degradation can survive. In the desperate reality, "I" realized a shocking sentence: "Money is more powerful than people. If people are beasts, money is the courage of beasts."
The plot of the story is very simple, but the writing skills are profound and the language is profound and easy to understand. Mr. Lao She was born in that era, and as a literary man, he was able to have such an understanding of the lower class society. He is really a very admirable writer.
"Our pots are sometimes as clean as a respectable widow's." "I smiled reluctantly and went mad. My pain cannot be alleviated by a few tears. There is nothing to regret about my life, but it is a life after all, and I don't want to let it go. Besides, what I did is not my own fault. If death is terrible, it is only because living is lovely." "It awakens my memory like a gust of wind blowing through a sleeping flower." "If the pain in my heart could be compared with a shape, it would be a crescent moon. It hangs helplessly in the gray-blue sky. The light is weak, and soon it will be enveloped by darkness." "Yes, I saw the crescent moon again, a hook of light gold with a bit of coldness." "Love stories are always ordinary, just like spring rain and autumn frost. But ordinary people prefer to find some poetry in these ordinary things." "She has food to eat and I have freedom; she has no freedom and I have no food to eat. We are both women."
From ignorance at the beginning to numbness at the end, from fear and disgust at the beginning to adaptation. Although this book is written about a woman, it reflects the status of women in that era. People who are forced by life...
The novel tells the story of a mother and daughter who had to become prostitutes due to food and clothing problems. Dignity is not worth mentioning in the face of survival, and marriage has never been a woman's way out. Lao She's writing is concise, simple yet delicate, and his attack on the old society and human nature is even more to the point. "Last resort" is always there waiting for our girl, I can only ask it to wait a few more days. This makes me gnash my teeth and make me feel angry, but women's fate is not in their hands. The world is a world of gobblers, and whoever is bad will get an advantage. Money is more powerful than people. If people are beasts, money is the courage of beasts. This world is not a dream, it is a real hell.
When I saw this book, I was shocked. For this reason, I express my utmost admiration for Lao She's talent. What can I say, this book is so bold and very true. Although this book is short, it is no less than "Luotuo Xiangzi". Yue Yaer serves as a clue throughout the entire text, and the heroine's first narrative perspective is deeply revealing the festering and ugly skin of the society at that time. I feel sorry for the heroine's life, and I sympathize with the plight of all women, maybe because I am a woman. But I admire her, not because I feel sorry for her misfortune and I am angry that she doesn't fight, but because I feel sad. In my eyes, she has exhausted all means to survive. In this society full of desires, she has self-esteem and does not want to serve others with sex and please men. But the world forced her to lower her head and do dirty things. I don't know her fault. I don't know her original sin. I can't find her fault. Then I thought about it. Because she is a woman. A low-class woman. A woman without money. Therefore, her self-respect, self-love, self-respect, self-reliance, independence and kindness are all faults, and anything that does not meet their expectations should be eliminated. I'm glad that she didn't bow her head and commit to someone else in the end, but I sigh, is a woman worth two dollars? Can a person's value be measured in money? Does a person who doesn't want to accept this outcome deserve to go to jail? But here, it's over. But I can't forget the woman who loved to look at the crescent moon.
After reading the romance, read the famous works. The famous works are really worthy of scrutiny and thought-provoking. In the old society, it was even harder for women to make a living. Even if some of them had accepted new ideas and education, it was not as practical as having enough to eat.
Mr. Lao She's writing style is natural and smooth. The whole story uses the Crescent Moon as a clue, appearing at every critical moment in the protagonist's life. From the death of his father, to his mother's remarriage, to becoming an "assistant" in school, to entering the society, there are a series of different inner monologues about Yue Yaer at each stage. The whole article reveals the helplessness of women from poor families under the social background of that time, their powerless resistance to fate, and finally followed in their mother's footsteps.
''Man is a beast, and money is the courage of the beast! ''To hit the nail on the head, shocking!
This is a tragedy describing the fate of women. The crescent moon in Lao She's works is not white and pure, but transcends the moon and carries the truth about the degradation of countless women in feudal society. When food and clothing are not enough, women in social difficulties can only sell their bodies to obtain food. After all, having a full stomach is a big deal. "If tea is intoxicating, why do you need wine? Only broken silver can solve a thousand sorrows." Both mother and daughter were desperate and abandoned their dignity after trying their best. This is indeed a real tragedy.
Lao She used the most tactful sentences to describe the most tragic experience of the heroine. In that era, people were eating people. But in every era, it is always humans who eat people. Lao She uses the crescent moon as a clue to run through the whole text and also the heroine's life. From the beginning, the heroine hated her mother for doing such a thing and had to persuade herself to forgive her mother. In the end, she experienced that she could not find a job and had to be like her mother and completely forgive and understand her mother. It is worth reading again and again, and you will have different insights every time you read it.
It started with Yue Yaer and ended with Yue Yaer; it started with ideals and ended with disillusionment! Old and new China, a hundred years of changes, all kinds of life styles, all kinds of tastes of life, we are both women and grew up here, what a blessing!
This was not the first time I watched "Crescent Moon", but I was still shocked, as if someone plucked my heartstrings and made a trembling sound. After I had seen it before, I looked at the moon several times when I had nothing to do. It was like looking at a woman with tears in her eyes and a smile. It made my heart skip a beat. When I looked at it, I didn't dare to look at the moon for a while, and then I threw it away. Unexpectedly, I saw it again on a tomato... The mother and daughter in the article were very miserable. They just wanted to make a meal, but in the end they had nothing. Material is the basis of ideals. Well, one more thing, Lao She's "Four Generations Under One Roof" is also very beautiful!
Mr. Lao She is probably the first people's artist to record the cannibalism system in the old society. Unlike Lu Xun, his writings reveal his deep sympathy for the working people. "The more I pity my mother, the more I love my son Yue Yaer." This sad-sounding sentence is a true portrayal of mother and daughter. They were forced to become prostitutes just to make rice for the family. This living situation that is unimaginable today is a true portrayal of the poor in the first half of the 20th century. No matter how strong a person is, there are always a few who will not bend under five buckets of rice.
When I first read this book, I read it several times, and every time I read it I discovered new details. Lao She is really good at writing characters who gradually lose confidence and give up on themselves. Every time I describe the crescent moon, it makes me very worried
