This is the longest book I have read so far. I read it intermittently for more than half a month, and I also read other books in between, but I finally picked it up again. This is a book written from the perspective of a feudal family. I am unwilling to make any moral criticism throughout the whole process, because this is the unconsciously driven life of people of that era. We should not discuss the so-called issues of scum or not, coward or not, and we should not use today's thinking to despise the characters of that time, but to re-understand the truest side of that era, so as to better understand the reasons for the formation of various personalities.
After reading this novel, I really understood that people were tortured by the feudal society at that time. I am very glad that I live in a peaceful era. I like this novel!
This is a story about the struggle between the old society and the new society. Everyone in the story is conflicted. Juexin's capitulation and compromise and his efforts to protect the family. Juemin's bravery and family's sense of superiority. Juehui's rebellious spirit and simplicity. Qin, Mei, Jianmin and many other young people in the new era struggle. .
The three "highlight moments" in the book - the death of Mingfeng, represents awakening; Juemin's refusal to marry represents resistance; and Juehui's running away represents rebirth. As Ba Jin wrote in "Ba Jin's Selected Works": "Those who truly love freedom do not rush to places where there is already freedom. They want to create freedom and regain freedom where there is no freedom or where freedom has been lost. " Beautiful! ! ! ! ! !
Mr. Ba Jin is great. This book helped me understand the people and things of that era. Let me be glad that I live in this era, and I am also grateful for the contributions of my ancestors. Some of them have drawn the blueprint for today, and some of them are rushing towards great achievements (such as Juehui). I live in the era that my ancestors expected to come, and I must dedicate my youthful strength to the beautiful tomorrow of our motherland.
The most touching part is the scene where Mingfeng throws himself into the lake. He accuses feudal oppression and misfortune by ending his life. It is better to die innocently than to live in confusion. It is the most direct and pure resistance of Mingfeng from the bottom of the society to the old society. The impact may be negligible, but this is the beginning. The loyal Mingfeng will surely wake up some people and move some people. Compared with Mingfeng, who dared to love and hate, Juehui's love felt a little less interesting. Deep in his heart, he did not place Mingfeng in the same position as himself. To put it bluntly, Juehui cared about Mingfeng's origin. He was not determined to break the invisible barriers. There were objective reasons and subjective reasons. Therefore, Mingfeng died for himself, not for Juehui.
Each character is vividly created, including the cowardice and obedience of the eldest brother, the bravery and struggle of the second brother and the third brother, and the dictatorship of the old man. Each character and his story takes place in an old ideological family in an old society.
I accidentally read Mr. Ba Jin's novel and couldn't put it down, so I simply finished reading it. This novel describes the sin and decadence of a large feudal family. Too many people obey the arrangements of fate. Everyone suffers under the class system. For example, Juexin, even if he loses his love, even if he always obeys the wishes of his family, he cannot experience the taste of happiness. For example, Mingfeng and Wan'er, who have been maids for seven or eight years, are still sent to the old man without mercy. A concubine, such as Qin, would expose her mother to too much gossip when she went to school, let alone go to a coeducational school. For example, my grandfather was a knowledgeable and cultured person, but he did not have an open mind. He arranged a private engagement for Juemin, controlled Juehui to go to the newspaper office, and was angry when they finally resisted. He felt that the family he had worked so hard to build was about to break up... The old ideas and class system were constantly encroaching. Juehui and others decided to take off the mask of pain and fight against the living system at that time. Although Juehui broke his promise to protect Mingfeng, each tragic incident invisibly turned into a stronger motivation to resist. Otherwise, more and more young people will be like them, and in the end our society will continue to become lonely...
The theme of this book is about family and love, and the plot unfolds based on the development of relationships between the three brothers of the Gao family and women such as Mei, Ruiyu, Qin, and Mingfeng. Ba Jin said that this book is an immature work and does not thoroughly criticize feudalism. I think the main reason is that it does not deeply criticize the two main contradictions of old China, the contradiction between imperialism and the Chinese nation, and the contradiction between feudalism and the masses of the people. But the problems presented in this book are still shocking. Each character in the book has a distinct personality, and the protagonist has different levels of awakening. We can see Jue Hui, who is constantly resisting to fight for his own way, and Rui Yu, who was killed by the ignorant feudal ethics of cannibalism. It has an extraordinary effect on enlightening our thoughts.
This book mainly describes the sorrow in a large feudal family. At first, the three brothers walked together. Later, the eldest brother compromised with his cowardice because of the eldest son and other reasons, gave up her beloved Mei, and married another person. Finally, he changed under the pressure of many layers and helped the third brother leave home. The second brother understood that compromise was useless in the eldest brother's situation, so he ran away from home to pursue love; the third brother was naive and impulsive at first, casually making promises to Mingfeng but failing to keep them. Later, he experienced some things and grew up, left home, and went to Beijing to start a new life. It writes about cannibalism in feudal society, as well as the difficulties of fighting in that era and the changes in the thinking of the three brothers. At the same time, it also writes about the helplessness of many human nature and life.
The psychological description of the characters is very delicate and touching. It is worthy of everyone's masterpiece. The tragic fate of several pure and beautiful women makes people cry bitterly and sigh with anger. Fortunately, that decadent and cannibalistic society is gone forever, and we live in an era of democracy and freedom.
Sun Daolin plays Juexin, and Zhang Ruifang plays Ruijue who is aggrieved and helpless. Mingfeng, Mei, and Ruijue were forced to death by the feudal system that cannibalizes people without spitting out their bones, but they still cherish their independent marriage and love their families.
Just like the author said, I did have a deeper understanding of feudal society. Each character in the author's works has unique personal characteristics. After reading this book, I did feel a little sad about the departure of the characters in the storyline, and I also felt sympathy for their social living environment at that time. Secondly, the more feeling is that sometimes we might as well be bolder. There is only one journey in life. Cherish the people you love and the people who love you.
Everyone is a body of contradictions, with a cowardly and incompetent side. Different people and situations around them drive everyone's growth trajectory. Some people break out in despair, some perish in despair, and some compromise in despair. The awakened consciousness needs to break through too many shackles and needs to be hit to varying degrees in order to grow. The times and growth environment have created them like this, and it is also these that push them to take a completely different path.
After reading Mr. Ba Jin's "Home", I felt that every character created in it was very full. When I read about the changes in Jue Xin's character, my mood as a reader also changed. I sympathized with him but at the same time felt that he was particularly cowardly and incompetent (especially when Rui Yu was forced to live outside the city during her childbirth), but I could also feel his helplessness and concern for his younger brothers and sisters. And Juehui is also a character who is both loved and hated. I like him because he has the thoughts of this new era, he dares to break a kind of bondage, and he has a sense of being prepared for danger in times of peace. Hate is due to several subtle changes in his feelings towards Mingfeng. From being confused at the beginning, to doubting and wavering later on. Finally, I hope Juemin and Qin will not repeat the tragedy of Juexin and Cousin Mei, and they will have a good ending.
It gave me a true understanding of life in that historical period, and I felt the helplessness of the compromisers and the pain of the oppressors. At the same time, I also felt the bravery of the youth and the light after the clouds were cleared. A very good book, worth recalling.
I am filled with emotions and moved when I think about how Mr. Ba Jin roared for new hope when he published this novel in 1931. I will read the Riptide trilogy seriously. I would also like to express my gratitude to my husband for his great love for his family and country and his contribution to literature, which enabled me to encounter Harvest Magazine when I was young.
The despotism of feudal families and the harm done to people by their thoughts are really cruel. Live soberly in the current society.
Through "Home", I seemed to truly see the people and things of that era through time, as well as the thoughts and souls of the people of that era. In the context of that era, the spirit of young people, their desire and pursuit of freedom and new ideas
Being oppressed by your family, feeling helpless and sad, do you have the courage to resist? I bless you, strangers - I hope you can take your destiny into your own hands
I like this book because I never feel bored while reading it. Following the author's pen and entering that era, it feels like I am living in the story, watching everyone's fate, feeling helpless, angry, and comforted. There are a group of young people here who are full of love and new ideas, and there are also more people who follow the old feudal ideas. Juexin's non-resistance makes people angry and powerless, but they are also moved by his cute and selfless love for his family. He is a victim of feudal ethics. If he lives in the new era, he will definitely be an outstanding person. The exploitation of the proletariat by the landlord class also makes people angry. They control the fate of others at will and despise life... As for Juehui, although he has not really moved into the new society, he is making progress in this direction and is still full of hope. Today, in the new era of reform and opening up, the past is too far away from us, but we should remember those pioneers who worked hard for the new era and be grateful. Without them, maybe we would just be "jue Xin" and "Ming Feng".
I have read it one after another, and there are touching parts in it. Every depression needs new young people like Juemin Juehuiqin and Xu Qianru to inject fresh blood. The lofty and ignorant feudal society will eventually collapse! Every generation is getting better and better, reading is enlightening and rational. Finally, I am grateful that I live in such an era of free reading!
After watching it for a long time, I finally finished it. I felt that the ending was quite open and left room for imagination. Throughout the book, Ruiyu and Mingfeng are so miserable, they are victims of feudal society. It's good that the old man of the Gao family finally woke up. Juexin is a very tragic character, responsible and responsible. I don't think he is as cowardly as Juehui said. On the contrary, Juexin is my favorite character in the whole book, and he sacrifices himself for everyone. Jue Hui only changed her mind about him later on. In the early stage, she always felt that he was an empty talker who could only be incompetent and furious [face covering] but in the later stage, he really grew up.
It's quite depressing, the main character keeps dying, I cried while watching it [crying]
Through this novel, we have a deeper understanding of the evil feudal society. Every character who died under the feudal etiquette is heartbreaking.
A very good book about the different thoughts between feudal ethical families and the new progressive young people in the new era. . .
"Home", it depicts not just a family, but a microcosm of the entire social family at that time. Among them, feudal forces like Mrs. Gao will eventually go to the grave of history, while countless awakened young people like Jue Hui will succeed one by one, and they will push the tide of history forward, never ending... Among them, I just want to say that my feelings towards Juexin are complicated. Although I am angry at him, I am also sad about his misfortune. Isn't he a victim of the feudal family? But I don't want to be too harsh on him. I understand his difficulties and am sincerely happy for him to send Jue Hui away. This may be his first and bravest silent resistance. And Juehui also took his share to declare war on the entire feudal society.
I really admire Mr. Ba Jin's sincerity and humility. It is the existence of this imperfect novel in your mouth that symbolizes the passion and impulse of this young man. When I read the middle, I found that Juehui perfectly interpreted the epithet "angry youth". The love and hate style in the article is very distinct. I also went from not understanding it at the beginning to gradually understanding it later. This clear distinction between love and hate allows me to be involved in it more than an objective third party. Maybe there are a lot of childish aspects in it, but now it seems that it is just in line with young people. I am young and energetic, which is in line with the vitality of young people!
Youth is the most beautiful thing. Beautiful things always make people recall them inadvertently. This work by Balao is very classic, and the image setting of each character in the book is very successful. He integrates his true feelings and experiences into the work, arousing the resonance of readers: saying goodbye to the dark past and smiling towards a better tomorrow.
The cannibalistic ethics of the feudal system have killed so many innocent people, destroyed so many kind-hearted people, and made every reader feel resentful... But there are always some people who ignore worldly views and are not afraid of the judgment of others. They pursue new ideas and trends, strengthen their own correct direction, and stride towards that sunny but completely different world... That is the new world in his heart!
