This book touched me deeply. I still remember that the first time I saw "Old Things in the South of the City" was in elementary school. One time, the math teacher in our class was reading a book. I curiously and carefully glanced at the title of the book. Although I didn't read it immediately after that, I inadvertently remembered the name deeply. It's a pity that I haven't read it in the past few years. I only watched the movie of the same name, which made people laugh, move and sad just like the book. Reading it now feels like the fulfillment of a long-held wish. I saw this book nine years ago and finished reading it nine years later. The story is still not over and my childhood has not left me. They have always been in my heart.

Very good👌. I saw the first story about a madman which made me very sad😔. Later, it was all about memories of Peking. It felt very beautiful, a kind of beauty of the old life. Of course, it also reflected the difficult social reality at that time. The author did not focus on describing the turbulent society at that time. , When I saw the back part, I saw Lao She and Shen Congwen. I liked Lao She very much, and I also lamented the ending of Lao She. I also liked Shen Congwen very much. I particularly liked Shen Congwen's Border Town. It was beautifully written and very innocent.

Every character described in "Old Stories in the South of the City" is vivid and vivid, and the story has different results depending on each character's personality, destiny and life. The second volume is the author's memories and recollections of the old days. The third volume is the narration of the works of the author and his friends, the biographies of Lao She and Shen Congwen, and the introduction of the works.

I finished reading the physical book in the fifth grade. At that time, I thought Yingzi's life was so childlike. Now in junior high school, I relived it again and felt really sad. Yingzi witnessed many joys and sorrows, including Xiuzhen and Niuer, the man who had to steal things for his brother, Aunt Lan and Aunt Song, and finally even her father left her. The sentence "Dad's flowers have withered, and I have grown up." I really couldn't stand it after reading it. Although the whole article is mostly childish, and the parting is all mentioned in one stroke, it still has a lot of sadness attached. At the end, Yingzi has grown up, and this book has become a difficult thing for me to understand -

In "Old Things in the South of the City", Mr. Lin tells the stories of the mad mother, the brother thief, the prostitute and the wet nurse, using the purest eyes of a child to reflect the miserable people and desolate things. Her innocence and innocence form a strong contrast with the vagaries of the world. She directly touches the essence of the tragic characters and tragic stories in a vague way of understanding. She sees through it but does not explain it, making readers empathize with the mixed feelings.

Great! The language is plain, delicate, fresh and natural, and it inadvertently describes childhood events and the style of Peking. It does not say anything, but makes people see something from it. Great!

Old Stories in the South of the City describes five stories that happened in Yingzi's childhood. I really like this light and quiet narrative technique, with a strong flavor of the times, simple and smooth language, and no fancy rhetoric. It uses a simple child's perspective to record the relatives, playmates and friends who accompanied her when she grew up and left her one by one. It does not have the ups and downs in traditional novels, and the childlike tone also makes the emotional expression purer and stronger. However, after reading every story, I strongly felt Yingzi's mature mind. There was an excerpt of the text in the junior high school textbook. That was the first time I met Lin Haiyin. Later I also watched the movie Chengnan Past. When I read it again, the pure face of Xiao Shen Jie's Yingzi in the movie kept flashing in my mind along with the text. I liked this book even more.

This book looks at the world from the most innocent perspective. In the tone of the book's author, Xiao Yingzi, she tells everything that happened in her childhood life. Some are funny and some are tragic. The first time I read this book was in the fourth grade of elementary school. I was still young and thought it was a diary-like book. I thought it was very boring, so I stopped reading it halfway through. The second time I read it, I was already in the second grade of high school. It was about to take the college entrance examination. I went to the library to look up information and saw this book on a table, so I read it again. This time I read it for the third time. After so much experience, I also understand the author's thoughts and what he wants to tell us. I still prefer this book, and I hope everyone can read it. I dare not say anything else. As long as you read a chapter carefully, you will know how good this book is. Recommendation index: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The old story in the south of the city was that Xiuzhen, mother and daughter, were separated. After they got to know each other, they went to seek health and became seriously ill. It was about losing both brothers, and in order to raise money for the younger brother to go to school, he was found to be a thief and went to jail, bursting into tears. It was about Yingzi who wanted her father to give her an award after graduating from elementary school. When she came home, she found that the oleander she planted had fallen. She attended the graduation ceremony alone, and she no longer had a childhood. These are the tears of childhood and the sighs in sleepless nights. They are indelible and will only remain in the deepest part of my heart forever, filled with pain and joy. But the main theme of childhood is still cheerful. Xiuzhen, Xiao Guizi, Uncle De, Aunt Lan... These people make up her childhood. They laugh with her and make her happy, carefree, happy and free. Childhood is the white moonlight and cinnabar mole in each of our hearts. Although it is beyond our reach, every time I think of it, I can't help but raise the corners of my mouth, arch my eyebrows, and feel as if a clear stream of water has touched my heart, with bursts of warmth.

Childhood is described from a child's perspective. The article not only contains fun memories, but also left a deep impression on me and made me feel sorry for the poor Niu'er and Xiuzhen, a pair of poor mother and daughter. There is also "Let's go watch the sea". The neighbors only know that "he" is a thief. No one knows why he steals. No one is willing to understand his suffering. It is just a helpless behavior forced by the oppression of life. Among them are: "Yes, I will write a book in the future. I want to distinguish the sky from the sea. I want to distinguish the good guys from the bad guys. I want to distinguish the lunatics from the thieves. But now I can't tell anything." In reality, what is a "good guy" and what is a "bad guy"? The so-called "thief" not only regards "me" as a friend, but also tells "me" who is worried. Maybe a child cannot understand the meaning, but this friendship is precious. There are beautiful people in the book, but they also have their own "unbeautiful qualities". This is a true portrayal of reality. From this, I appreciate the truth, kindness and beauty of people at that time, and also feel that the "shortcomings of human nature" are still the same no matter in the past or now. And the promise of "let's go see the sea" blows to the distant horizon with the wind in Peiping. Perhaps the sky and the sea are originally connected.

The writing is very good. The childhood memories are written in the tone of a child. The language is simple but not lacking in true feelings. Seeing the author's childhood, I also miss my childhood very much. Those times that I can't go back and the people who left are the most beautiful scenery in my childhood. Unfortunately, the moon waxes and wanes, people have joys and sorrows, and parting always exists all the time. It is said that time will remember everything and heal everything. I hope that's true

After reading "Old Things in the South of the City", there is always a depressed feeling in my heart. Maybe it is helplessness at the unfair fate of Xiuzhen and Niuer, or it may be a sigh for the man who has to steal things to support his younger brother, or he is angry at Song's mother's son who passed away, the daughter who was given away and her husband's inaction, or it may be the relief that Xiaoyingzi's father's death forced Xiaoyingzi to grow up and share the burden for her mother. When the flowers fade, it is the end of Xiaoyingzi's childhood, so why aren't they mine?

There are too many regrets here that I can't let go of. Xiuzhen and Niuer didn't find Si Kang, the author made an agreement with another person to watch the sea together, how Aunt Lan and Mr. De are doing, how is Song's mother doing in her hometown... I want to cry [I'm about to cry] [I'm about to cry] [I'm about to cry] The stamina is a bit strong, it reminds me of the good times of my childhood, and I want to go home as soon as possible to celebrate the New Year🧨

This story is just a story to us, but it is something the author has personally experienced. Just reading it makes us feel sad. So we can imagine the sadness the author experienced at that time. However, there are also many places where he is full of joy. He has made several friends. Although they have all left him, he is still very optimistic. The one who touched me the most is the father in the author's writing: My father's flowers have fallen, and I am no longer a child. It's really tearful here. The only description in the whole book that I couldn't help but cry after reading it. If her parents are still alive, then she will always be a child. But with her father gone, she has no place to act coquettishly, no place to rely on, and no pillar of support in her home. Her childhood will also be lost. It's over. I only knew the joke "You're here to poop" before. I didn't expect such a sad story behind it. I would like to apologize to the author. Her innocent words when she was a child have been used as jokes by everyone, but not many people know the story behind it. This really makes me sad. Not to mention, I must give it five stars.

I have read this book before and now I am listening to it again. There are different emotions.

Reminiscing about the past year and remembering the past. When a visitor comes, he leaves shyly, leans against the door and looks back, chuckling. In the small window, she is dressing up, dancing in the mirror with Qingluan, with her eyebrows lowered and her hair on her fingertips, muttering lightly. I made an appointment to come with you, and I came to do some cuju. Her red skirt was covered with golden lotus flowers, and she couldn't do the cuju after a few times. Returning to the door, he looked around, deliberately stealing back his smile, and silently straightened his clothes. Whispering, falling, dancing and touching the heartstrings, it makes the young people faint. Girl: If I encounter a spring breeze and beautiful flowers in this life, I would like to sigh: It's great to be young... "Old Things in the South of the City" is an autobiographical novel in which the author expresses his nostalgia for his childhood and his longing for the south of Beijing through his memories of his childhood. An interesting childhood story of a little girl named Xiao Yingzi happened in old Beijing. From "the madwoman in the Hui'an Pavilion, the thick-lipped "thief" hiding in the grass, Aunt Lan with a sideways smile, Song Ma sitting on the back of a donkey walking farther and farther, to the camel team in winter," the scenes in childhood are all clear and distinguishable. However, her childhood is gone forever. For Yingzi, her father's death means that maybe she really should grow up. The book is full of the beauty and romance of childhood, but also has an unspeakable sadness and ignorance. "Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the green grass reaches the sky. Life is rarely filled with joyous gatherings, but with many separations." From childhood to adolescence, from youth to old age, a person's life is spent in constant farewell, and he also learns to grow through parting again and again. Dad's flowers fell, and Yingzi bid farewell to her childhood completely. Some people grow old overnight, and some grow up overnight. The time we desperately escaped has become a place we can never go back to in this life. Now after dreaming back at midnight, we have seen too much helplessness and unbearableness in the real world. We have begun to put away the softness and vulnerability in our hearts, and have habitually reserved everything around us. We have begun to distinguish between good and bad, good and evil, weigh the pros and cons, and understand whether it is worth it or not. However, those dazzling childhood days when we did not ask about right or wrong and just followed our hearts are gone forever. It's good to experience it once in life. I hope I can still move forward with my original intention and see through the essence of life but still love life. Maybe this is the positive thing I saw in the book.

The author truly writes about the past events in the old city of Beijing, and some things are really touching. Some things are really helpless, and a kind consideration is truly presented to us in a narrative way.

An excellent work of art lies not only in the ups and downs of the plot and the careful portrayal of the characters, but also in its theme, whether it reflects the joys and sorrows of the world, the characteristics of human nature, and whether it has eternal vitality across time and space. It is loved and sought after by readers. This autobiographical novel tells the story of some of the author's childhood experiences in Taiwan, showing us the background of the time and the joys and sorrows of the characters. The children's perspective makes people feel clear, but it also contains a touch of sadness for social tragedies.

I like this book very much. This is the third literary work that I really like after reading it.

A novel with a strong Beijing flavor. When I was a child, I was deeply impressed by the plot of Yingzi's tardiness in Chinese textbooks. I remember reading an article called "The Secret Reading" before. I don't know if it was not included in it, but it was also very interesting. After watching the movie, Yingzi seemed to have stepped out of the book. Moreover, the plot about my father's cheating was deleted, and I think the filming was also very good.

"Old Things in the South of the City" Xiuzhen found her child Niuer and disappeared on that rainy day. Because of this incident, Yingzi later moved and met a man who stole for his younger brother to go to school, and made a wish: let's go see the sea. Later, I met Aunt Lan and stayed at Yingzi's house. Yingzi protected her mother and prevented her from being sad. Song's mother returned to her own home because of the incident between Xiao Shuanzi and Yatouzi. "Daddy's flowers have fallen, and I am no longer a child." Hui'an Pavilion → Let's go watch the sea → Aunt Lan → Donkey rolling → Dad's flowers have fallen and I am no longer a child (Only a personal summary, missing many details, poor writing)

I am very happy to read this book. My father's flowers have fallen, which I studied in primary school, originally came from here. After reading this book, I am very lucky to be able to appreciate the author's childhood Peiping with the author and the majority of readers, as if I have seen the old Beijing; get familiar with various alleys and streets together; and get to know more writers together. 😀😀

Memories are often painful, but most of the time they are beautiful and warm, such as childhood. Lin Haiyin's "Old Things in the South of the City" is like the warmth rippling in the heart, softly touching the weakest place in the heart. The camel team in winter, the madman in Hui'an Pavilion, the man in the grass, Song Ma, etc., Present another reality in Yingzi's eyes. The "madman" that children dare not approach is a woman who waits for love, a thief who steals for her brother to go to school... There are no bad people in the world in the eyes of children, and everyone is kind. Lin Haiyin uses a child's perspective to show everyone's sadness and the brilliance of human nature.

I read it for the second time, but the plot in the book still touches my heart.

The writing is really good, she is a female writer who has great feelings about her family and country! ! !

The first half looks immersive, with the tone of a child. The second half is an adult's tone. It describes important deeds from childhood to adulthood. It is easy to understand without losing the elegance of literature. I like it.

This book is well written, I like the people and things in the book very much.

The first time I read "Old Stories from Chengnan" was in junior high school. At that time, I didn't quite understand the partings and regrets in the book. Later I watched the movie adaptation. In the movie, the visuals deepened my impression. Every sound of "Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road" was a hymn to parting, which was very touching. I was moved, so I started to read Old Stories in Chengnan for the second time. After reading it for the second time, I felt very different. You will unconsciously think about every dialogue, and analyze how to distinguish "good guys from bad guys" from Yingzi's perspective or from an adult's perspective. What is the true meaning of growing up? I really like this book. The philosophy and thinking in it are really worth reading over and over again.

Learn from the camel, a calm animal. Look at it, it is never in a hurry, walks slowly, chews slowly, and will always get there and be full - Lin Haiyin's "Old Things in the South of the City"
