"Border Town" allows us to appreciate the beautiful landscape and simple folk customs of Chadong Town, and witness a young and beautiful love. If you are anxious about some of the small misunderstandings, it is because you are eager for a result, and what the author wants is this subtle and wonderful feeling of speculation and aftertaste. The colloquial language in the article is mixed with dialects, which is a bit harsh. Fortunately, I am from the land where the two elders in the article got off the boat, so I can understand it. [Laughing]

I always thought that electronic books did not have the same taste as paper books. After reading "Border Town", I suddenly realized that good books do not need a carrier, and the taste of words only needs to be experienced with your heart. "Border Town" depicts a small town full of fireworks, and there are many stories in the small town. In the article, Cuicui and Da Lao Er Lao I can feel the poignancy and regret of the story, but the final "This person may never come back, maybe he will come back tomorrow" leaves an infinite chapter, maybe it is hope, maybe it is helplessness, ending in this way, maybe it is also the waves in Cuicui's heart [Love] [Love] [Love]

Simple life and love in Bixiyu. People of that era seemed to be naturally motivated, and women were shy and simple. As a girl, Cuicui's psychology is just right. Her grandfather's love is simple and unpretentious. Although he is stupid, he really loves her. The eldest brother and the second brother showed their love in their own way, but due to misunderstanding, they missed their lover. At dusk, in Bixiguo amidst the green mountains and green waters, my grandfather's folk songs make me feel warm. In the moonlight, on the smoky creek and hanging rocks, Cuicui went to pick saxifrage again, and fell asleep again with that person's gentle love. You have to live hard and strong to be worthy of living on this land. Feeling the vitality of the country, you have to live a life with blood and backbone to live up to your youth. I hope Cuicui can wait for that person under the moonlight.

Starting from the ordinary, moving towards the beautiful, fascinating, tricking in and then killing, suddenly realizing that it has been completely trapped, just like wine, the first taste is cold and sweet, and unknowingly drink a few more glasses, the stamina is really great. There is not a single bad person in the whole text, and the whole story is kind-hearted. It is pure and beautiful, but it makes people feel heartbroken.

I admired part of Mr. Shen Congwen's "Border Town" in the Chinese language book, which aroused my interest in reading, so I went home and read the full text. The family relationship between my grandfather and Cuicui reminds me of the time I lived with my grandfather when I was a child. Life is simple, but feelings are sincere, so the death of my grandfather really had a great impact on me, and I still can't get over it now. I was attracted by Cuicui's first love, but I left behind the footsteps of my grandfather's thoughtful consideration of Cuicui for the rest of her life. It is indeed a classic, both in the natural scenery and simple folk customs of the border town and in the depiction of the characters' emotions. Worth savoring again and again.

The lingering feelings of the border town are the Chinese people's rural sentiments It makes our love linger like a gurgling stream, but it has twists and turns and obscure words. What is sheltered under the sky of poetry? It is the birth of five thousand souls in China

After reading it, a touch of sadness circled my head endlessly. It is the sadness of losing something that you can obviously get. It is the stagnation of broken beauty that is extremely pure and smokeless and dust-free. It is the heartache of a kind-hearted soul who has not found a happy ending. . . . . . What kind of sadness is it? It can't be resolved for a long time. Is it the feeling of wanting to cry without tears? No. Is it a shallow regret? It doesn't seem to be the case, eh! Repeatedly two times and three times, apart from the writing skills, just looking at the behavior of the two old Nuosong, it is indeed difficult to describe in one sentence [awkward laugh]

"All rivers must return to the sea, and words can be spoken far and wide." This is my second time watching Shen Congwen's "Border Town", and I understand it more deeply. This book is not long, and a fast reader like me can finish it in about an hour. At first I didn't understand why Cuicui's grandfather was so concerned about Cuicui's marriage. After the death of the Tianbao elder, I blamed my grandfather for being "nosy". Since Cuicui was young and had no trouble, why should he be like this. But when the white tower collapsed and my grandfather died when the thunderstorm was about to stop and was buried in the soil and eaten by little maggots, I blamed Cuicui for being too naive, but thinking about the age of "fourteen to fifteen", this is indeed what it should be. Reading is something that should not be taken for granted. I think Cuicui should be together after Nuo sent the two elders to sing folk songs for three years and six months in Bixinuo. But otherwise, he may never come, maybe he will come back "tomorrow". As for tomorrow, we have no way of knowing. Shen Congwen left an open ending at the end, giving us enough imagination. Can Nuosong let go of the death of his brother Tianbao? Can Cuicui wait until Nuo is sent? Cuicui and her grandfather are the epitome of thousands of Chadong people. Perhaps, in the end, Cuicui got her own ferry and became the ferryman of her own life. Nuo sent her to Taoyuan and never came back. After reading "Border Town", I found that this is a work wrapped in sadness. Shen Congwen used meaningful and beautiful words to show us the customs and customs of Chadong. In the end, everything ended quietly on a sunny morning after the rain.

We are all little people, and the thoughts of little people are so ordinary but delicate. The article is eloquent and turns such a simple life into a painting. As I read it, I got involved, because we are also little people. Life is a combination of simple people and simple things. The sun rises and the sun goes down. Marriage is indeed a big event. Stability and peace are what generations of Chinese people pursue. Light emotions will not dissipate as time goes by. Sometimes they will become clearer, clearer and brighter. But implicitness is always engraved in the bones of Chinese people, so everyone in the article expresses their thoughts implicitly. Even outspoken people do this all the time. In the border town, the tranquility always makes regrets ripple in my heart.

The charm of "Border Town" lies in the fact that it wraps the heaviness of reality with poetry - we not only yearn for the purity of the world in western Hunan, but also sigh for the fate of the characters. The Cuicui ferry is not only a geographical coordinate, but also a cultural symbol: it carries Shen Congwen's pursuit of "the true nature of human nature" and has also become a spiritual home for homesickness in the hearts of modern people. When we finish reading the story, it seems that we can still hear the long folk song by the Youshui River, flowing quietly in time, waiting for someone to return "tomorrow".

The book "Border Town" is like a hazy ink painting, showing Chinese aesthetics everywhere. The most beautiful Chadong town, the clearest river water, the simplest humanity and the purest love, all make people's hearts move, and all of them make people heartache. The mother who died young, the grandparents and grandchildren who depended on each other, the missed Cuicui and Nuosong, the unexpected death of Tianbao, the deceased grandfather, the powerless Shunshun... Everything is so regretful. I have imagined countless times that if my mother was still here, if Cuicui and Nuosong were more candid, if Tianbao had not died, and if grandpa spoke more candidly, would everything be different? But it is precisely because these regrets came together by mistake that this grand love was achieved, so in the end I can only lament that fate has played a trick on people. People always seem to encounter the most beautiful love at an age when they least understand love. In that small town like a paradise, the young love between two young people was so innocent. However, it seems that just in response to the phrase "everything is fate, no one can control anything", the love between Cuicui and Nuosong is like an unfinished ballad, echoing for a long time among the green mountains and green waters. Grandpa's death, Nuosong's journey and Cuicui's waiting have left this border town shrouded in a touch of sadness. No one knows whether Cuicui can wait for Nuosong, because he may never come back, maybe he will come back tomorrow.

I felt familiar while reading it. I almost forgot about it when I read it once in middle school. Reading it again today, the feeling is definitely different from the first time I read it. This is a story that happened in western Hunan. The ancient town of Chatong is full of local flavor and life. I have seen Bailuyuan and a small mountain village in Zhejiang written by Mai Jia. I think that in that era, there was still such a "paradise" that was not disturbed by war. The kind and simple villagers lived a peaceful life, which made me very happy. The story of Cuicui and her grandfather happened here. The author described the characters very well. The plot made me feel anxious and regretful. The various misunderstandings and regrets in it were actually due to personality. Cuicui was shy and avoided answering the fact that she liked the two elders directly. The grandfather kept guessing and dilly-dallying but did not reply directly to the elder's marriage proposal. The elder's death also caused a gap between the people in the game. I wanted to say that if I like her, I should just say it outright, why wait so long, but I also thought that at that time, my grandfather would not refuse. Rubbing his hands also showed that he was not good at expressing. Cuicui's behavior made sense. It didn't matter whether the two elders came back or not. I saw this beautiful mountain village. There was a girl with ignorant love and human warmth. It was a story full of hope.

Everyone in the book is kind, reflecting the simplicity of Xiangjiang farmers. In this story, Cuicui and Erlao missed each other again and again due to various misunderstandings. I can only say that their fate was not fulfilled. I don't understand why my grandfather didn't tell Cuicui what happened when he came back from town several times. Why can't everyone talk clearly and resolve the misunderstanding? One person kept mumbling and couldn't get to the point, while the other didn't say anything and kept everything in his heart. It really made me anxious to death! [Awkward laugh][awkward laugh][awkward laugh][awkward laugh]

I started pursuing the excitement of the story, but found that I was a bit disappointed. When I read it for the second time, I no longer had the impetuousness of seeking novelty. I read and understood the eloquent words with my heart. Immersed in it, I can see how well it is written. It is worthy of being the pinnacle of modern Chinese literature. Especially the large-scale psychological description, the characters are vividly and vividly portrayed, which is really convincing. Good work, worth calming down and appreciating carefully [Like][Like][Like]

I read and listened to it at the same time. I felt a little sad after hearing the ending in the early hours of the morning, and worried about the fate of the heroine. I always hope for a good ending, but life is very long! Even if you get married as you wish, you still don't know what ups and downs are waiting for you in this life! Life is impermanent. No matter what you encounter, you have to accept it and move forward. Only when you reach the end will you complete your life's mission. My little insights.

The title of the book "Border Town" exists in my very early memory. Because of its great reputation, my subjective impression before reading it was that it should be a thick book. In the past week, I read this "thick" book while taking the subway to work in the morning. The stories written by Shen Congwen are very graphic. You can imagine the scene of a quiet small town, the vivid images of old ferry people and greenery, and the lively scenes every time you enter the city. As a paradise in the world, there will also be things that are not perfect in the border town. We should learn to accept it. As a saying goes, "Because there are still many misfortunes in the world, we often call these misfortunes fate."

I began to be interested in the excerpts in the Chinese language book, attracted by this simple nostalgia, and moved by this sincere and beautiful human affection. It was only after I finished reading the book that I realized that the excerpts I read were the most beautiful moments in the book. Later, Grandpa was worried about Cuicui, so he kept testing Shunshun and Nuosong. It is human nature for Shunshun and Nuosong to feel concerned about the death of their loved ones. There is nothing right or wrong, it's just that something happened suddenly and the person hit was caught off guard. It is a book worth reading. Mr. Shen Congwen uses concise words to show us a world that is too beautiful to be true, in a border town in western Hunan...

"Border Town" is both a "tragedy of nothing" and a "silent epic": it uses extremely light materials (wind, rain, song, grass, dog barking) to confront extremely heavy themes (loss, death, modernity), and ultimately dissolves the "heavy" into "empty" and settles the "empty" into "aftertaste." After reading, when you close the book, it feels like you have opened a river—— The river is not deep, but you can't cross it in your lifetime.

When writing this book, the author was having a good time in love and career. The author showed a paradise-like small town on the border of Hunan, where the residents were friendly, simple and harmonious, creating a peaceful scene. When the eldest brother and the second child faced a love conflict, they did not choose to use force to fight each other, but decided the winner by singing to Cuicui. The eldest son failed and left home to do business, and unfortunately died! Therefore, Shunshun does not want Cuicui to be his wife anymore! Cuicui finally waits for someone who can't wait! Romantic love tragedy!

"Border Town" is a hymn written by Mr. Shen Congwen to soldiers and farmers. This can be seen from the life and origin of the protagonist in the novel. The protagonist Cuicui in the novel is a descendant of a soldier, and Cuicui's grandfather is an out-and-out farmer. Although the novel does not directly state that his grandfather turned from a farmer to a boatman, the special environment in which he grew up and lived in a remote southwest town determines that in a place without modern industry, it is impossible to have industrial workers completely separated from the land. This is enough to show that before he became a professional boatman, he could only be a farmer, or he came from craftsmen and unemployed vagrants who had lost their land. Coincidentally, the eldest and second brothers who fell in love with Cuicui at the same time are also children of soldiers. The work spares no effort to praise these ordinary characters in the small town. This is a praise and praise for ordinary people represented by soldiers and farmers. Mr. Shen said it himself in the inscription, "I have an indescribable tender love for farmers and soldiers. This feeling can be seen everywhere in all my works." Mr. Shen said, "I have never concealed this feeling." Mr. Shen frankly admitted in the inscription that his grandfather, father, and brothers were all in military service, "Momo died. Those who do not die in their duties will inevitably spend their lives in their duties." Mr. Shen's description of their love, hate, sorrow and joy is based on the side of the world he comes into contact with, "because they are upright and honest. Some aspects of their lives are extremely great, some aspects are extremely ordinary, some aspects of their temperament are extremely beautiful, and some aspects are extremely trivial."

"Border Town" by Shen Congwen is a pastoral song flowing in the mountains and rivers of western Hunan, and it is also a gentle elegy about innocence and watchfulness. In the noisy modern literary world, with its clean and restrained words and clear and transparent humanity, it builds a spiritual border city for readers away from the hustle and bustle, allowing us to see the most authentic goodness and beauty among the green mountains and green waters. The story takes place in the small town of Chadong at the junction of Hunan, Sichuan and Guizhou. A white river, a ferry and a white pagoda form the entire background of the story. The old boatman and his granddaughter Cuicui depended on each other, watching the passage of time at the ferry. The two sons of the ship manager Shunshun, Tianbao and Nuosong, fell in love with the innocent and kind-hearted Cuicui at the same time. The two brothers expressed their love through folk songs, but due to a trick of fate, Tianbao died unexpectedly, Nuo sent him away to a foreign country, and the old boatman suddenly passed away on a stormy night, leaving only Cuicui guarding the ferry, waiting for the person who may come back, or may never come back. There is no fierce conflict, no bloody entanglement, everything is as natural as flowing water, but there is a power that directly touches people's hearts hidden in the plainness. The most touching thing about "Border Town" is Shen Congwen's pure and kind humanity. The old boatman spent his whole life ferrying, never taking any money, being loyal and kind, and hiding his love for his granddaughter in his meticulous care; Cuicui is innocent and smart, like a deer in the mountains, ignorant and shy about love, but always maintains a pure heart; the Shunshun family is generous and righteous, and the neighbors are harmonious and help each other, without calculations and disputes. The people here blend in with the mountains and rivers, and are kind-hearted, outlining the appearance of an ideal rural society. Shen Congwen used words to protect this beauty and preserve a pure land for people's hearts in troubled times. The beauty of this novel also lies in the poetic artistic conception and implicit and meaningful language. Shen Congwen used line drawing to describe the scenery of western Hunan, with green mountains, green water, white pagodas and stilted buildings, forming a fresh and elegant ink painting. The writing is simple and unpretentious, but has its own rhythm. There is no accumulation of gorgeous words, but deep emotion can be seen in the plainness. Whether it is the folk songs under the moon or the evening breeze at the ferry, they all have a touch of poetry, making readers feel as if they are in a Chadong, feeling the tranquility and tenderness. This kind of implicit aesthetics makes the tragedy less sad and more lingering. The ending of "Border Town" is regrettable. The white tower collapsed, relatives left, and the lover walked away, leaving only waiting. But this imperfection is precisely the depth of the work. It tells us that life is full of impermanence and beauty is fleeting, but the kindness and perseverance in human nature will never fade. Cuicui's waiting is not despair, but persistence for beauty, and a continuation of the glimmer of human nature. After closing the page, the landscape and characters of Chadong are still clear. "Border Town" is not only a local novel, but also Shen Congwen's hymn to humanity to the world. If you are tired of the impetuousness and chaos of the world and long to find inner peace, you may wish to read "Border Town". It has no ups and downs of the plot, no dazzling rhetoric, but can use the gentlest words to heal your soul and take you into a pure, warm and poetic world. Whether you are a student or a reader who loves literature, this book is worth calming down and reading carefully. I believe that after reading this book, you will build a "border town" of your own that will always be bright in your heart.

Everyone's work is like a painting or an epic poem, which makes people daydream and linger...

Border Town has a small number of words, concise and beautiful language, and is highly readable. In it, one can feel the ignorance and shyness of the girl Cuicui. The grandfather is not good at words, but he is worried and afraid for the girl's future. The feelings of the second elder and the eldest elder towards the girl, and everything that happens after that. The description of the people living by the river in the water town is also very appropriate. Overall, it is a recommended novel to read. It is recommended that you read the entire novel slowly in an afternoon on a sunny day.

Honest and simple, kind and pure, sincere and beautiful are the adjectives for these people. Joy and sorrow, happiness and pain, greatness and insignificance are synonymous with these people.

Teacher Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Although I don't know where you are going to go to higher education, and I don't know if you still remember me, I have always remembered and been curious about the story you told about Yang Jiang and Mr. Shen Congwen in junior high school. I also happened to read it by chance. It is really a good story.

I drank the local soju and experienced the "Lala Crossing". Even if it requires three boatmen to pull it with three and a half meter long pine trees, I still feel that it is not easy. I really want to experience it, but I won't let it. Take a small electric cruise boat to view the mountains and rivers of the three provinces on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The road is steep and narrow, which shows that the natural environment here was not friendly at first. There are densely packed houses on the stone mountain, stilted buildings along the river street, some old and new, and a row of golden nanmu buildings along the cliffs along the river. They look like the Shunshun family of the shipowner in the book. They are very noble. Lively crowds, quiet land, calm eyes, and a faint aftertaste in the heart.

Read again the customs of Xiangxi and the simplicity of Chadong. I saw the tragedies that were covered up and downplayed, including the death of Cuicui's parents, and the "prostitute" feelings briefly discussed among sailors; I saw the true kindness, simple human kindness, Shun Shun's generosity, and the sincerity of the elder and the second elder; I saw the pure and beautiful feelings, the affection between grandfather and Cuicui, and the youthfulness of young men and women. The elder disappeared, no one was seen, he was just recognized as broken and no one was there. The two elders left and promised to return, but there was no ending. Grandpa died, and Cuicui guarded that place, guarded the girl's thoughts, and guarded her loneliness. After reading it, I didn't feel very melancholy, only a little bit emotional, not only for yearning for the simplicity of Chadong, but also for resisting the ugliness of the times, and for the lack of growth of young love.

A very good book, Cuicui's tragic love story makes people cry.

It is worth reading. The content of the article is just as mentioned in the introduction at the beginning. After reading it, I was very touched. The storyline is very vivid and each character has his own unique personality. The ending is a finishing touch, leaving plenty of room for the reader's imagination, allowing the work to be truly sublimated, and making the interception of the article very flexible.

The article objectively describes what happened, and uses many environmental and scene descriptions to help me figure out the psychology of each character and the subsequent situation. To be honest, it looks a bit sad and helpless. I can't judge whether they are right or wrong. I can only say this ending. Hey (I don't like unsatisfactory endings, but I have to face this kind of ending). Look at others and understand yourself. Time flies, and your lover should hold on tight.
