This book selects Lao She's most representative short and medium stories, such as "Crescent Moon", "In This Lifetime", "The Soul-Breaking Gun", "The Man Who Never Lies", etc. "Crescent Moon" describes the tragic life experiences of two generations of prostitutes, mother and daughter, and profoundly reflects the living conditions of China's urban poor in the first half of the 20th century. The tragedy of a small family and a small person reflects the vicissitudes and pathos of a period of history. "My Life" describes the rough life of an ordinary patrolman in the old days. It is also the finale of Lao She's first golden period of creation, and it has a particularly progressive atmosphere that stands out from the times. "The Soul-Breaking Gun" reflects the helplessness and loneliness of ordinary people in the great changes of history through the frustrated situation of an old escort. The short page is full of desolation and sadness, which makes people have endless aftertaste.
This is also the unique feature of Lao She's works. The language is vulgar and refined, and both refined and popular are appreciated. His humorous talent is reflected in every line: he expresses the ideological content of "thinking deeply" in language that is "quickly spoken", which is implicit, meaningful and full of rich humor.
Reader comments
"I" finally understood that the skills and morals taught in school were a joke, and understood that the path my mother took was the only one. But "I" was not willing to fall into this trap, and still had to struggle again. Lao She is a native of Beijing Manchu Zhenghong Banner. His real name is Shu Qingchun and his courtesy name is Sheyu. He is a famous modern writer and dramatist in my country. His representative works include "Camel Xiangzi", "Lao Zhang's Philosophy", "Four Generations Under One Roof", etc. This book is an early novella written by Lao She, derived from the novel "Da Ming Lake".
Mr. Lao She is one of the literary masters I admire the most. As far as realistic novels are concerned, he is my favorite writer. The works included in this collection of novels fully reflect Mr.'S characteristics. He always pays attention to the little people in life, describing the daily necessities of life, their bitterness and sorrow, but behind these characters in the corners of society, there is always a great wheel of the times turning silently. These poor little people were suddenly caught up in the rut of the times and crushed to pieces, which made people feel extremely painful and helpless.
This book collects some of Lao She's most famous short stories. In these novels, Lao She expressed profound thoughts in humorous and popular language. The frustrations of small characters and the ups and downs and pathos encountered by ordinary people in life reflect the characteristics and destiny of the era in the first half of the 20th century. Let us go back to that era, see the characters and life of that era, and feel the changes in social history and the development and evolution of culture. It is very interesting to read, and it can be said to be a rare literary classic.
This book has a sense of the times, and the story reflects the reality of society at that time, which resonates with me. Especially "Crescent Moon" reminds me of my childhood. Although my family was not rich, my parents always tried their best to give me the best. The language in the book is also very humorous, which makes people feel comfortable reading it. I think this is a book worth reading and recommend it to you!
The language introduction is in place and the descriptions are vivid.
