Jia Pingwa is the one who best describes the farmers as a group among today's Chinese writers👍Simple, profound, poetic and songful👍In another 100 years, he will be one of the few novelists who still remains popular!
In the past twenty years, I have never read Mr. Jia Pingwa's works. "Gao Laozhuang" is the first work of his that I have read. This article is particularly outstanding in its detailed description of human nature. The characters are many and complex, ranging from justice to evil. I once heard a saying: There are no absolute good or bad people in the world, and they cannot be judged based on one thing. For example, Cai Laohei in the article loaned 300,000 yuan to Gao Laozhuang to build the pagoda; despite his selfishness, he also brought Xiuzi 50,000 yuan in compensation that his husband had died in exchange for; most importantly, his true and sincere love for Juwa; and the male protagonist Zilu, whose identity is a respected university professor, but has no responsibility, is selfish, and will only dodge and escape when things happen. Let's talk about the structure of this article. This work ends with Zilu returning to the city and Xixia staying in Gaolaozhuang to deal with Cai Laohei and Juwa. The author left many suspenseful endings, but did not directly tell the ending of Cai Laohei and Juhua. When I read it, I still had a lot to understand. Overall, this is a good article. As the author wrote in the postscript: "Such a work is easy to misread. If you only read the factual side, the trivial description of life will make you tired and boring, and often attracts accusations of being unnoticed. But if you only read the fictional side, people with insufficient experience will not understand it." I only hope that I can read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. Be the sun in your heart.
The book seems to be unfinished, and some of its ideas are still unfinished. The reality of Bai Yunqiu, the fate of Xixia and Juwa... This book is still magical, mysterious and false... While reading, I frowned from time to time and wondered: Why are so many descriptions appearing in many of the author's books? ! This is really an "uncomfortable" reading experience.
Unpretentious, sincere and freehand, only those who have witnessed the thick and turbid atmosphere of that era can feel the long lingering, impatience and passion of that taste.
"Gaolaozhuang" is one of Jia Pingwa's masterpieces. By telling the story of Gaolaozhuang, a closed mountain village, it shows the lifestyle, cultural heritage and interpersonal relationships of a local traditional Chinese society. The author uses a first-person narrative and repeatedly describes the details of Gaolaozhuang's natural environment, village architecture, place names and customs, farming life, etc., Making readers feel as if they are in this mysterious and peaceful mountain village. At the same time, some cultural heritage and customs reflected in the book, such as ballads, religious beliefs, concepts of life and death, etc., Also well explain the lifestyle and cultural spirit of traditional Chinese society.
Jia Pingwa's realistic works are sharp and full of ugliness in life, but they also make people feel some beautiful hope in them. There is no great good or evil in the characters in the book. They are all ordinary people with good and selfish intentions. The story begins with Zilu, a university professor, returning to the city, and then unfolds the description of the portraits of all living beings in Gao Laozhuang. Xixia in the book is the embodiment of beauty. As Zilu's city daughter-in-law, she is educated and beautiful. She should be incompatible with the turbid atmosphere of husband Gao. But she didn't. She truly respected Zilu's mother, and yearned for the love between Cai Laohei and Ju Wa. She was enthusiastic and helpful, and was the warm light in the story. I like this character very much.

I come from the countryside, and in this novel, I see the shadow of the countryside where I once lived.
A university professor returned to his hometown to make a memorial ceremony for his lost father. He had been away for a long time. When he returned to the place where he grew up, he found that the customs and customs had not fundamentally changed. People are still so mean, selfish, and careless. In this environment, he, who is knowledgeable and well-dressed, cannot help but struggle with the environment, and finally arouses his long-repressed nature and becomes as despicable and shameless as them. This village is like a magic mirror, clearly reflecting the beast inside the well-dressed people.
The smooth dialect, intriguing plot, and rich characters make people unable to stop reading. They lament the impermanence of life, and are also nervously concerned about the subsequent life trajectories of their favorite characters.

I've watched it for the second time, it's great
Very rustic, authentic and simple!
Coming in disorder, leaving in confusion. If you want to know what it means, you have to experience it.
It was so exciting, I watched it twice.
Worth savoring again
