"Such a language needs to be read while running, and such a language will sink to the bottom if thrown into the water."
"The Drought" is a classic novel by Mr. Zhu Xining. It is set in the distant world of the Old Yellow River in North China. It tells the story of a drought in the countryside and a shortage of water everywhere. Only the well in the Tangjia Oil Mill has an endless stream of clear springs. Rumors in the village The Drought Monster appeared... The writer drew materials from ancient local legends and took the love story of acrobatic girl Tong Qiuxiang and bandit leader Tang Tiemian as the main line. The heat of emotion echoed the drought of heaven and earth, creating this powerful novel. "Drought Demon" is a masterpiece that inherits the precious line drawing tradition of Chinese classical novels. The words of the characters are all heard as if they were seen. The elder Jin who entrusted all Mr. Zhu's ideals, the bandit leader Tang Tiemian who kills people quickly but knows how to return when he is lost, the brave and bold Tong Qiuxiang, the vaudeville leader Father Tong who still maintains his dignity despite being poor and abject, all the characters are vivid and ready to be seen. Mr. Zhu's language is strong, full, and rich in imagery, as if it comes from Li He's poems, like a wall made of rocks, full of sharp edges. This pioneering work, written half a century ago, is a representative work of Mr. Zhu Xining's exploration of modernist literature.
Reader comments
The characters in it are vivid, especially Tang Tiemian and Tong Qiuxiang. Their love is so passionate that it can light up the entire desert! Mr. Zhu's language style is unique and full of power. It reminds me of Mo Yan's "Red Sorghum", which also writes about rural areas and is also full of vitality. I think "Hanban" is a good book worth reading again and again!
There are dialects spoken in a certain place in Shandong, some of which are familiar, and some of which are different from those in my hometown.
