After reading the book and watching the movie, I came back to read it again. History will only be crueler than the book.
Forgetting the past means betrayal! ! ! May the tragedy never happen again! ! !
When I was writing my thesis, I came across Teacher Liu's investigative novel, and I had seen the edited video of the movie "1942" before. I have always been afraid to face the people's disasters. Being helpless in the face of the tragedy of history is the pain of a sympathetic person. This article talks about Chairman Chiang many times, but it actually also talks about the relationship between the government and the people. The efforts of the foreigner Bai Xiude and the Japanese invasion of Henan highlight that the 1942 incident was not only a natural disaster, but also a man-made disaster. Only by supporting the people can we gain the support of the people. This is the only truth. The tragic history is a scar that makes people dare not look directly. Although I am not a villager in Henan, let alone someone who has experienced the suffering, I may not be able to empathize with it, but I can still feel the shock. I think we cannot forget history or deny history. The people should be like this, and the government should be like this. Liu Zhenyun's article is worth reading, I dare to write and speak, it is ironic [Like]
This book records that period of history that cannot be forgotten, a period of hunger. In 1942, during the difficult Anti-Japanese and Anti-Fascist War, a horrific disaster brutally struck Henan, the breadbasket of the motherland, causing 30 million people to leave their homes and flee to Shaanxi to escape famine. What will happen to a person when he is swallowed by hunger? The author brutally and truly recorded that absurd fact, recording the fragility and vulnerability of human nature in the face of food and clothing. After reading this book, we will fall into silence and reflection.
It is a novel based on the background of the Anti-Japanese War, but it is different from ordinary novels. This is an investigative novella by writer Liu Zhenyun, which tells the story of hunger during the war. In 1942, China's Anti-Japanese War was in a very difficult period. There was a severe drought in Henan. Many people left their hometowns and went to Shaanxi to escape famine. They all had their own sad and difficult stories. This book records several very desperate and inconvenient people. Thought-provoking stories, although reading these works is not as good as reading martial arts novels, even if it makes people feel heavier, the meaning of these works is very far-reaching, and it is still worth spending some time to understand everything that our predecessors have experienced.
Informative, serious, profound, enlightening
Very well written and very inspiring
Lao Liu is a real writer
It is not an exaggeration to say that Henan under the disaster is a hell on earth. Cherish food, it's not easy to be full!
I don't know this history at all. Thank you to the author, Director Feng, and everyone for leaving such a history.
I have always liked writers like Liu Zhenyun and Mo Yan. They are willing to see the world from the perspective of ordinary people.
History is ugly but also true...
Be objective and have the backbone that a scholar should have.
It is a very concise novel that does not look like a novel, or it can be called an "investigative" novel. I first learned about the work from relevant reports about the movie, and I haven't read it until now. If many people read it together. I feel like my brain can't hold it all, so I need to read it a few more times. I have also read some of the author's other works. The text of this article is more concise, the emotions are very restrained, and the connotation is very profound. Probably because of the sensitivity of the content, it cannot be expanded to write. Personally I feel it is a very good piece of work. Let Wang Shuo admire this work and never forget to make it into a movie.
Hunger can destroy all human nature, leaving only the instinct of survival. This book makes people feel distressed and even cry. Ordinary people may just be wiped out and become the dust of history, just like their old club without a name or memory. But do you know? 1942 Was just over 80 years ago. In the past 80 years, our lives have changed tremendously. I am really grateful to those revolutionary heroes for creating a new life for us. I am grateful for everything.
I finished reading it. The writing is very good. I felt very bored after reading it. Even watching a sadistic novel is not as boring as this.
Shocked, sad, angry, and powerless... I'll watch the movie next, I don't know if I have the courage...
It is worth seeing. The scars of suffering are ugly but real. History should not be downplayed. The past that modern people should understand and remember the most has laid the foundation for today's hard-won happy life.
To clarify the truth and distinguish the truth, there is one explanation
After reading the history of "1942", I really can't believe it: when human nature has deteriorated to its deepest level, the "renchiren" phenomenon will really happen. Humans are also animals, but in the general environment, we must look at the problem objectively and comprehensively, so as not to produce extreme emotions!
This book is really shocking. Who would have thought that 80 years ago, our ancestors experienced such tragic hunger and famine. Three million people, old and young, men and women, lost their lives. I seem to be able to see their helplessness and pain when they were on the verge of death due to hunger. The sufferings of the Chinese nation are so profound that we are often unwilling to mention the history of cannibalism. The new era has given us new missions. May we never forget these sufferings and cherish the good life we have now.
Mr. Liu Zhenyun used his perspective to give us an overview of the disaster in Henan in 1942. Today's Henan is completely different from those days, and it makes me realize that our generation is self-reliant.
Don't use normal thinking to imagine people in despair. Well written and true
"From 1942 to 1943, there was a food problem in my hometown." Shocking! This is my biggest feeling after reading this book. It tells the story of the Great Famine in Henan. As an investigative novel, there is no storyline, no characters, and no clear attitude. Some are just statements. But this statement is really regrettable! From the summer of 1942 to the spring of 1943, a severe drought occurred in Henan. Most of the province's spring and summer harvests were lost. After the severe drought, there was another locust plague. A disaster related to hunger claimed the lives of three million people.
This moment and that moment, just like this moment.
In the face of life and death, all things are not worth mentioning
Living freely and with dignity is often difficult.
Look! I munched on rice with steamed potatoes and pork belly, drank corn soup, and watched "Review of 1942". Who can say that I am unhappy?
This book is so well written! I read it in one sitting!
Narrative technique, neither happy nor sad
