Naughty Son

"Written to that group of children who wander the streets alone in the deepest dark night with no place to turn to." These are the words of the author Bai Xianyong in the inscription. As his only full-length novel, this book starts from the real world and depicts the love entanglement between homosexuals. The confusion and pain that are unknown and hidden in the cracks of society are vividly depicted and reflected in this book. Love has nothing to do with gender, it is just pure heartbeat.

The first thing I knew about Bai Xianyong was when I saw his article included in an anthology of modern Chinese literature. Then I was amazed by the excerpt of "Trees Are Like This" that "... Revealed a blank space. In the gap, reflected the clear blue sky and long white clouds. It was a crack in the sky that even Nuwa's stone refinement could not make up." There was also a sense of identity of the same kind. I read "Evil Son". To be honest, I have been reading online novels. It has been a long time since I read a classic literary work. At first, I was really anxious and couldn't stand it anymore. But I kept on getting better and better, and finally I was attracted. Come on, next article, I will read the tree like this.

A slight sense of calm. At the time it felt like a tragedy, but it didn't end that way. It seems that everyone is rushing towards their own bright future. It is a very heartwarming novel. Among them, the story of Feng'er and Long'er moved and shocked me very much. "I'm sick and poisonous, what do you want me to do?" "I will lick all the diseases in your body clean for you, and I will wash away all the poisons in your body with my tears."

Write the story of a group of gay men who are kicked out of their homes. They have their own kingdom, with all kinds of characters, but almost everyone has their own inner obsession: "I" (A Qing) has always missed his dead brother, so when he met two children later, he protected him like a younger brother to make up for his inner regret; Aaron (Wang Kuilong) could never let go of A Feng, and in every sad night, he searched for the A Feng in his heart lonely, trying to burn the heart. Returning his burning heart to him, Wu Min seems to be reluctant to leave, but in fact he is reluctant to leave the warm and comfortable home he has never had... "These young birds, as long as they are not emotional, once they are emotional, the fire will come." Perhaps it cannot be said to be a catastrophe. I think it is the awakening of their humanity and even their lives. They may be in a state of confusion at ordinary times, but when they encounter the obsession and love in their hearts, they burst out with dormant vitality. When reading, I will feel a little uncomfortable because of my own prejudices, but I will still be shocked by such a brand-new kingdom for me.

When I first read it, the eyes flickering like fireflies beside the lotus pond, shrouded in a dim red moon, seemed extremely depressing. But there are also ninety-nine red lotus flowers in such a night, the heart-breaking love between Afeng and Longzi, and a group of fearless teenagers wandering in it. All the darkness is beautified, as if the book always reminds people of a dark but not desperate night, with a little starlight in it. The teenagers dodge and run here, their figures hidden in the night, allowing them to reveal themselves naked. The ending was the same, it was still night, but the boy continued to run. There was no forced sublimation, but the street lights flickered, illuminating the way forward. It gives people some comfort: the boy is worthy of being a mythical hero in the dark night!

A story of growing up and finding a home. A bit like Eva. Their growth trajectory is very clear, from the beginning of self-destruction to the end when they went their separate ways and had their own lives. Throughout the process, they completed reconciliation with themselves, their families, and society. The first half of the book is about the evil sons who were exiled from their original families and lost their families; the second half focuses on the new family they formed in the park, caring for each other. After getting a new home, the style of the story changed. I can understand the importance of family that the author wants to convey. The spiritual core of this book is somewhat similar to Eva's, both about finding a home and the wall of the heart. Eva is more intense. Eva is a complete revolution in the end, while this one is a reconciliation.

This is a story about sexual minorities. If you can't accept it, don't read it. I think some things exist, and there must be a reason for their existence. We should not be the one to criticize, but learn to understand, respect and progress each other. This book allowed me to see the situation of sexual minorities. They are depraved, absurd, and crazy, but it also showed me a different side of human nature. It is completely contrary to common sense and breaks through the constraints. It is like the madness of a person who pursues eternity, but it is so absurd to pursue things that do not exist in the first place. Therefore, what greets them will not be the gift of eternity, but the call of the god of the abyss.

I can't bear to read it suddenly, in a real world, an eternal world, the story has begun, the story has not ended yet, the story is still going on. Thanks to Bai Xianyong, this talented writer has used a magical pen to depict for us a bizarre and wonderful real world that makes people speechless and choked with mixed emotions. As the same saying goes, after experiencing everything, I hope that we will still be teenagers when we come back.

"What I killed was not A-Feng or A-Qing, what I killed was myself. That knife struck right into my own heart, and just like that, I died, and I have been dead for many years -" It took me four days to read the whole book, because I always had to be distracted to slow down the repressed parts. So well written! I can read four to five thousand pages a day in other novels, but this one made me choke up several times with over a thousand pages.

"Written to that group of children who wander the streets alone in the deepest dark night with nowhere to go." I really like this sentence at the beginning of the book. Most of the time we are pursuing and longing for something. The beginning of the novel begins with me being kicked out of the house. From the initial exile to the subsequent memories of youth, it is very characteristic of the times and very meaningful for thinking. The topic of homosexuality has received more and more thought and attention from society. The book also contains various conflicts and collisions, which is worth reading.

At the beginning of the novel, it is explained that Li Qing was kicked out of the house by his father because of school matters and came to the park. Here he met all kinds of people, including Xiaoyu who was obsessed with going to Japan to find his father, Wu Min who was trapped in endless entanglement with Mr. Zhang, and even Wang Kuilong who was crazy about love. Rats who are good at stealing, etc. In the novel, I actually didn't understand why A Qing still returned to the park after getting help from Mr. Yan, and why he, who had high hopes from his father, was expelled from school because of the incident at school. It wasn't until later that I understood that there were many reasons why, in the park, He has the same kind as him, and lacks the ability and courage to change reality, blurred self-understanding, family rejection, social discrimination, and those friends in the park are his emotional sustenance. The protagonists are discriminated against by society, abandoned by their families, and abandoned by society because of their sexual orientation. Will be marginalized and will always be labeled as "bad". "Niezi" aims to show the survival plight of the gay community, call on society to give them understanding and tolerance, criticize social indifference and prejudice, and Mr. Bai wants to convey humanistic care for vulnerable groups and deep reflection on social issues. "I'm covered in poison and dirt, what are you doing here? He said: I'll lick all your dirt clean for you, and I'll wash away all the poison for you with my tears." These were the words Long Zi said to Ah Feng. Long Zi loved Ah Feng crazily, but he seemed unable to rescue Ah Feng from the cage that shackled him. , "This knife pierced my own heart, and just like that, I died, and I died for many years." What will be the final outcome of Long Zi? I think he will never come out. "A Qing, where is your father? Do you know that your father is also suffering for you?" This is what Mr. Fu said to A Qing. The whole book is written around the story of the youth bird, and it also reflects the relationship between father and son, A Qing, Wang Kuilong, Xiaoyu, and Fu Wei. At the end of the story, Ah Qing finally runs with Luo Ping, heralding the arrival of a new life, Xiaoyu also goes to Japan to find his father, and Wu Min continues to be entangled with Mr. Zhang. At the end of the ending, we don't know whether A Qing will reconcile with his father, but a new life has arrived, and the Birds of Youth have embarked on their journey. I believe they will always find their way back.

Ah Qing, Mouse, Xiaoyu, and Wu Min are all vivid people. How much role does the role of father play in their lives? An old father who intimidates others with his conservative status and empty gun that is out of bullets, a violent brother who plays the role of a father, a father who goes to Japan without knowing his identity, a father who has just been released from prison and needs his son to take care of everything. Master Yang, Eunuch Guo, and Mr. Fu. What kind of fathers are they? Is the relationship between father and son an inevitable factor in these young birds in the dark park taking this path? Just jot it down. I'll start sorting out my reading notes in August.

The joys and sorrows synthesized from fragments "The faces of the old, young, beautiful, and ugly all have an ambiguous look of something missing, as if they are trying to cover up something, covering up some of the darkest and darkest pain? A heart that bleeds all year round and refuses to scar?"

The imperial court is full of overt and covert struggles, the succession of royal powers, and the changing political situation. Some people think they are far away from it, but in fact they are already in the whirlpool. Luo Cheng, the young son of the Senate family, refused to marry and pursued free love. In the end, he broke the engagement, left a letter and ran away from home. There was no news for five years. Five years later, after completing the mysterious mission, Luo Cheng returned home and wanted to renew his relationship with Zhang Yao. However, he never expected that Zhang Yao would marry his father and eventually turn into a black man.

"The history of our kingdom is ambiguous. We don't know who founded it or when it started. However, in our small, extremely secretive and extremely illegal country, there have been many tragic and vicissitudes of life that have happened over the years that are not humane to outsiders."

The book "Evil Son" touched me very much. It tells the story of children who have been abandoned by their families and society. Just like my rebellious friends, they are also looking for where they belong. The conflict between father and son in the book reminded me of the conflict between myself and my parents, which we all need to understand and accept. This book is very real and profound, and it made me think more about family and society.

The first time I heard about Bai Xianyong was his "Taipei Man", but because I don't like to read separate short stories, I couldn't watch it. Later, I heard about his book "Evil Son", which received very high reviews, so I thought I might give it a try. At first, I had no idea what the subject of this book was and what story it was going to tell. When I saw the word "homosexual" on the introduction, I felt a little surprised, maybe more of a surprise? This seems to be a very controversial topic, and there are very few literary novels on this subject. What's more, it has such a high evaluation. It's like a person stands up to speak out for a minority group and gets a lot of support. While reading this book, I sometimes wanted to find out what experiences the characters in the book had, but found that each of them had such a difficult life. My days passed so uneventfully, it seemed easy to forget that there would still be such suffering and misfortune in the world. But it seems that because of this, we can see the courage and strength of life in them. Some people say that the four young birds will fly back to the kingdom in the end, but how can I put it? The kingdom seems to be their sanctuary, giving them temporary shelter, but it is like a swamp. The more they sink, the harder they struggle and they will be trapped there forever (perhaps like Zhao Wuchang?). So I don't want them to fly back. Birds always leave the nest. I just hope that Ah Qing can work well as a bartender and live a good life with his younger brother; Wu Min's Mr. Zhang can treat him better and his father can live a peaceful life; Mouse can learn dyeing well and find a job after going out; Xiaoyu can live well in Japan and find his father. I hope everything will be fine.

Cried many times. In the dark tent, the innocence of Ming and Mu is in a huge cage. There is no safe land for the young bird, and life does not require compromise.

"Evil Son" was first published in Taiwan in 1983. At that time, when the World Health Organization had not removed homosexuality from the list of mental illnesses, the author used an inclusive and gentle perspective to describe a group of teenagers who were scorned by society because of their same-sex identity. What the author wrote was not a group of labels, but a group of real people. "People-oriented" is nothing more than this. I often think about whose evil son the "evil son" is, A Qing is to his father; Wang Kuilong is to Wang Shangde; Fu Wei is to Mr. Fu... Sons without exception carry the pride and high hopes of their fathers, but they are not understood by their fathers. When their sons are expelled and suffer a lot, why don't the fathers feel tormented in their hearts? And about A Qing's love for his younger brother, I often feel tears welling up in my eyes after reading it. There is also deep guilt in this brotherly love, right A Qing? So much so that you can't help but have an unreasonable crush on those kids who are the same age as your younger brothers and sisters. When you are saving them, are you also saving yourself? Ah Qing, Xiaoyu, Wu Min, and Mouse are all good, living children with tragic fates that make people implicated.

I have read it on and off for nearly a month and finally finished it. Mr. Bai Xianyong's writing style is gorgeous and delicate, and some of the details are very lifelike. However, this is only the least worth mentioning advantage of this book. This book has both artistic value and social value. The author does not look at minorities with prejudice. Instead, we look at them head-on and truly tell their lives. At the same time, it also explores the impact of native family and social culture on individuals. It is very humanistic. As the author said, this book is not about homosexuals, but about homosexual people, each of them living people.

I have always wanted to write a work about men only, and today I saw it and my wish was fulfilled.

This book is for lonely children

What shocked me was whether it was the emotions between people or the author's various descriptions. And those descriptions are always so appropriate and just right, giving people a feeling of shock.

This is a novel with profound literary attainments. Readers can easily be affected by the plot while reading and cannot bear to finish reading it. They will feel lost even after finishing the novel. The journey of the young bird is still going on. I believe that this amazing adventure will occupy a corner of my heart no matter how many years pass.

A sad and touching portrait of all living beings, many sad birds sinking in the park, trying to save each other. Bai Xianyong uses delicate and gentle brushwork to portray the images of everyone in a detailed and realistic way. In the end, the young birds all flew towards their own bright futures.

It is like a wrinkle that has never been smoothed out, hiding the hardships and sufferings of the world. This is the true face of life. We all only like the bright face of joy. After watching Mr. Bai Xianyong's "Evil Son", I was a little uncomfortable at first, but gradually I was drawn into it. This is a group of children who are suffering in the darkness and intolerance, but they have sincere and kind hearts, like lotus flowers emerging from the mud, with the desire to pursue sunshine and rain. After reading it, I was deeply moved!

2025.5.29 "Go, Ah Qing, you are about to start flying too. This is what you brought in your blood. You wild children who grew up on this island, you have this wild energy in your blood, just like the typhoons and earthquakes on this island. You are a group of young birds that have lost their nests. Like a group of petrels crossing the ocean, you can only fly forward with all your strength, and you don't know where you will end up -"

After reading the book, the people in the book still appear in front of you, as if they are living around you.

Life is neither good nor bad, everyone has his own way back, fate comes together and fate falls apart.

It's a bit heavy to read. Even if it's been beautified, it's still dark, leaving plenty of room for the reader's imagination.
