Wencheng

Wencheng, an illusory Wencheng, made Lin Xiangfu search for it until his death. He searched for this place as if he could tour Xiaomei once he found it. Xiaomei chose Aqiang between Aqiang and Lin Xiangfu, but this also made her feel guilty about Lin Xiangfu. She stole Lin Xiangfu's gold bars, and the theft was consistent with Xiaomei's crime of being kicked out of the house by her mother-in-law. However, she could no longer use the understandable reason of helping her younger brother, so she deceived Lin Xiangfu. Xiaomei loves Lin Xiangfu and also loves Aqiang. Between the two of them, no matter what choice she makes, she will make the wrong choice. Lin Xiangfu is a loyal and kind-hearted man. He searched for Wencheng, a city where people talk nonsense all the way, and found Xizhen. Although Xiaomei and he were just a short distance away, the two never met again until Xiaomei died. More than ten years later, Lin Xiangfu also died. His loyal servants, the Tian brothers, pulled his coffin and walked all the way back to his hometown. Fallen leaves should return to their roots, and dead people should return to their hometowns. Lin Xiangfu's coffin stopped at the graves of Xiaomei and Aqiang, and they finally met after they died. The cruelty of the bandits is shocking. The monk is indeed an outlier. He has the bottom line he should have, and he eventually died in the chaotic battle with the bandits. Chen Yongliang's kindness and Gu Yimin's righteousness are the shining points that I have seen. In fact, the feelings this book gave me were not as profound as other books such as "Alive", "Xu Sanguan Sells Blood", etc., So that I didn't know what to say.

Yu Hua's "Wencheng" impressed me deeply. My favorite character in the book is Lin Xiangfu. His humility and silence attract me very much. Among them, the plot of Lin Xiangfu's father's death is heart-wrenching. The scene where my mother put on clothes she had never seen before and walked past him carrying water also made me feel the sadness of the characters in the book. Yu Hua's writing is always simple and powerful, making people fall deeply into it.

After reading this, I couldn't calm down for a long time. When I saw Xiaomei leaving, I wondered why I didn't live a good life with Lin Xiangfu? Only after reading later did I realize that Xiaomei still cares about Xiaoqiang! The emotional entanglement of several people, the final result is that they will still miss it until they die. What a pity! It can be seen that if Xiaomei's final life is hidden from the light of day, it is not an honest and happy life! If Lin Xiangfu didn't go looking for Xiaomei, and took his children to find a kind woman to marry, could he live a stable life guarding his family's house and farmland? In turbulent times, destiny may also be bumpy!

Inscription: I randomly picked up a copy of "Wencheng" from the bookcase and traveled with it to the south of the Yangtze River. I read the book during the flight, but it left a different feeling in my heart. In this life, live up to what you meet and don't talk about debt. In the book, the loyalty of the Tian brothers, the courage of the old blacksmith, the benevolence of Mr. Gu, the righteousness of Lao Chen, and the kindness of Xiao Shan... Have always lingered in my mind, but in the end it was still difficult to express love. Aqiang's betrayal of his original family became a mental shackles that Xiaomei could not break in her lifetime. Lin Xiangfu spent his life's obsession in exchange for the silence of not meeting each other so close to each other. "When we first arrived, inside and outside the Chenghuang Pavilion, which was filled with heavy snow, Lin Xiangfu begged for food for his daughter, and Xiaomei knelt down to pray for blessings from the cold. 17 Years later, he died in a foreign country. The cart pulling the coffin stopped next to the tombstones of Xiaomei and Aqiang, and Lin Xiangfu was lying in the coffin..." Standing at a fork in life, no matter what path you choose, you will be indebted to the other path, and you cannot recover what you have lost. Once you start, don't stop. No matter what the final result is, the most important thing is not to regret. Maybe that is what you have never been able to get.

2024 May 10 23:08 "Wencheng" ends. In that era of war and chaos and bandits, when the two dead people reunited physically again, it was a shock from fate...

This is the third complete book by Yu Hua that I have read. In Yu Hua's books, there are many regrettable plots. Everyone dies very easily, whether it is in "Brothers" or "Alive". The feudal era really brought a lot of suffering to people. Now we need to cherish everything now, cherish life, and cherish the people in front of us.

How should I put it? In fact, when I first watched it, I didn't quite understand what Wen Cheng wanted to express. I don't quite understand it, but I figured it out a little bit after seeing it later. I saw Lin Xiangfu's longing for and pursuit of his hometown. One of his last words was "When a leaf falls, it's time to return to its roots, and when a person is old, he should return to his hometown." But he crossed out this sentence later. Xiaomei and the others stole the money and returned to their hometown of Xizhen. But there are also some human descriptions and some simple emotions in it. For example, Chen Yongliang's family is indeed kind to Lin and his daughter. The most unforgettable thing for me was when bandits kidnapped Lin Baijia. Li Meilian (Chen Yongliang's wife) first reaction was to ask her eldest son to take his place, and later she said, "I have two sons, but only one daughter." She really regarded Lin Baijia as her daughter. But there are some things that I can't understand, that is, why Lin has to be Xiaomei [cover face] [cover face] [cover face] There is no grass anywhere in the world, why should I have unrequited love for a grass?

This book is another excellent work, which makes me sad after reading it... First of all, the narrative style of the story is fascinating. Lin Xiangfu and his children came to Xizhen mysteriously, and the entanglement between Xiaomei and Lin Xiangfu loomed. Xiaomei's two departures made people feel confused and resentful towards her, as well as sympathy for Lin Xiangfu's experience. Secondly, the story of Xiaomei and Aqiang was supplemented. The two lovers had to separate because of their strong mother. During the elopement, the two went round and round to Dingchuan. Because there was insufficient money left, Xiaomei stayed. Was it fate, fate, love, or the times that made Xiaomei hurt Lin Xiangfu so much? It's hard to judge... Fortunately, Lin Xiangfu and his daughter met Chen Yongliang and his wife, and they were very happy with each other. I still want to see the follow-up to the story between Lin Baijia and Chen Jiwu~ The writing is natural, appropriate and natural. It's worth reading and thinking twice, it's of great literary value!

At first I felt that Lin Xiangfu was deceived, but seeing his open-mindedness and optimism is really worth learning from. Loss is not loss, gain is not gained. He got Xiaomei but she left on her own. He lost Xiaomei but also got Lin Baijia. He was worthy of his life and had no regrets.

The bandit scene actually looks quite like the Japanese massacre of the village. I don't know if the real bandits of that era were so scary or if it is a metaphor for the fear of the Japanese. Of course, the best part is the brothers. I feel that I am still shocked after watching it for many years. I still think about it from time to time. It would be great if it could be shot with real people. But I also know that it is impossible and can only rely on imagination. I really admire it.

What does Wencheng represent? Obsession, emotion, or nothingness? A person, an emotion, a father and daughter, a search, and a fragmented ending! I can't help but ask, is it worth it? I can't help but sigh, why bother! But that's how people are, one sentence lasts a lifetime; one relationship lasts forever! Everyone wants to be able to pick it up and put it down, but how many people can do it? But looking back on this life, it's all a joke! Lin Xiangfu has no blessings, he is not pretty, he is not strong, his life was so miserable when he was originally good! This may be life, how many people can see through it!

When I was in high school, I bought a paper version of the reverse version of the novel. Because I was a student, I stayed up at night and turned on the light to read the novel. I finished it in two days. It has great stamina. Now that I am in college, I feel very sad when I look back on it. I can't remember most of the plots. After seeing them I cry when I freeze to death. Sometimes I feel sad even for some ordinary plots. I feel... I can't put it into words. I feel that the intentional encounters will have a dense pain for everyone, just like what Teacher Yu Hua said about the sadness of an era.

I really like this sentence: "You said Wencheng is your hometown. I sold the land for silver coins and traveled all over the south of the Yangtze River just to meet you. Later I realized that Wencheng is where you are."

To be honest, I thought Xiaomei would leave Xizhen after Lin Xiangfu arrived, but why was she still written down? Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, Lin Xiangfu didn't know that Xiaomei was actually always by his side, always loving her, and loving his daughter. He missed her so much that he missed her so much. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo to to do it, um, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

There are a lot of foreshadowings, and a lot of holes are filled in. Xiaomei's line is very real and very twisted. She likes Aqiang and Lin Xiangfu, but I think she likes Aqiang more because of her recognition and surrender of her identity as his wife since she was a child bride, and she loves Lin Xiangfu from the bottom of her heart. I like it emotionally, but it's a pity that I didn't finish the line between Lin Baijia and Chen Yaowu. I felt that the story ended in a hurry after killing Zhang Yishao. I originally thought that the follow-up would revolve around Baijia and Yaowu, and I thought that Li Yuancheng's foreshadowing would also continue to be written. I feel very regretful. It would be great if there was a follow-up.

Yu Hua's "Wencheng" is like a long scroll spread out in the old era. The lines are full of the intertwining of suffering and tenderness. Reading it makes people feel heavy but warm. The story begins with the brief encounter between Lin Xiangfu and Ji Xiaomei. This man, who was looking for his wife's hometown "Wencheng" alone with his baby, spent his whole life waiting and persevering to write a deep love that spans the years. Lin Xiangfu's journey to find his wife was full of thorns, with warlords fighting, banditry rampant, and famine spreading. The turmoil of old China is vividly depicted in the book. He took his young son to take root in a strange land, and settled down with his carpentry skills. He won the respect of his neighbors with kindness and integrity. Those seemingly ordinary daily lives, the mutual help between neighbors, the brilliance of humanity shines through the background of suffering. The suffering in Yu Hua's works is never deliberately sensational. It is a real and palpable quality of life that makes people realize how difficult it was for ordinary people to survive in the old days. The mysterious woman Ji Xiaomei has always been a clue throughout the book. Her departure and hidden secrets made the fictional place name "Wencheng" become Lin Xiangfu's lifelong obsession. Perhaps Wencheng never existed. It was the faith in Lin Xiangfu's heart and the spiritual sustenance that supported him through the wind and rain. This almost stubborn waiting is not stupidity, but the purest persistence of love. The most touching things in the book are those simple emotions. Lin Xiangfu's love for his son, the help between neighbors, and even the brotherhood among bandits all appear to be particularly sincere under Yu Hua's calm writing. Suffering does not erase the beauty of human nature, but makes kindness and perseverance more valuable. Closing the page, Lin Xiangfu's figure still appears in my mind. He spent his life telling us that no matter how difficult life is, we must keep the kindness and faith in our hearts. Those seemingly hopeless waits and silent perseverance will eventually become the most precious wealth in the years. Although Wencheng is far away, true love is within reach. This is the most profound revelation left to readers by "Wencheng"

I like Teacher Yu Hua. His writing is like his person. Every book, between the lines, is filled with elegant writing style, emotions and thoughts, which make it comfortable to read. Just like reading the works of Wang Zengqi and Shi Tiesheng, you can see the writers behind the works, and you are very lucky to read good works. Life is just a well-intentioned journey, and the things we work hard for will be in vain in the end. Whether it is the works of Teacher Yu Hua or Teacher Wang Zengqi, I understand the truth. Seeing the essence of life clearly, still loving every moment, and living well in the present is the most important thing.

Where is Wencheng? There is always a place called Wencheng. This is a place that Lin Xiangfu has been looking for for several years, and it is also a place that Lin Xiangfu will guard until his death. Where is Wencheng? In Xizhen, in Xishan, in every Lin Xiangfu's eternal pursuit of ideals and destination... [Love] On June 30, 2025, I finished the first reading, and the lingering sound lingers. At this point, I have read all the novels written by Teacher Yu Hua so far. I thank Teacher Yu Hua for his careful creation and look forward to the emergence of more new works ~ [Salute]

Wencheng's book tells two stories with one main line. The background is the decline of the Qing Dynasty and the rampant bandits in the early Republic of China. The article depicts the life of the protagonist and other main characters: The story begins with a ragged northern man (Lin Xiangfu) holding his infant girl in his arms and carrying a large package on his back on a snowstorm night on the streets of a small town in the south. He goes door to door looking for a nanny to feed the child, always with a copper coin in his hand. The rest of the chapter is about Lin Xiangfu's experience, how he met Xiaomei, how he came to be in Xizhen and his experience in Xizhen. The second part uses many chapters to describe Xiaomei. There are several romances in the article, but the endings are not happy. I feel that the author has not finished writing, leaving a lot of suspense.

There is only one doubt, why Xiaomei is unwilling to return the gold bars a little bit

Everyone dies in a different way.

In everyone's heart, there is always a place called Wencheng.

One person has one city, and the search is a lifetime. It reveals the complexity of love and the simplicity of friendship, making people cry while reading it.

Lin Xiangfu went to ransom Chen Yongliang and was killed. Actually, I didn't expect that Lin Xiangfu died so hastily. Chen Yongliang finally avenged Lin Xiangfu, a good man Xiaomei's life is about Aqiang and Lin Xiangfu. She is actually a good woman. She has never abandoned Aqiang. She and Lin Xiangfu also developed feelings while getting along. She has always been ashamed of Lin Xiangfu. She has been praying for him and the child in the snow. After giving birth to a child, she still has to endure the pain of separation. Xiaomei and Aqiang finally froze to death in the snow, which was an ending I didn't expect. My little sister's mother-in-law was still chanting Xiaomei's name until she died. I feel like this later part is more lyrical. The past always contains emotions. I still remember the old man in that broken house watching him go down the mountain. And the bandit monk and his mother who still have good intentions The regiment leaders and soldiers fighting bandits on the city wall There is also a crowd that responds Those heartless bandits Zhang Yishao There is also Gu Yimin, who is very smart and can take good care of everyone, is kind-hearted and upright. By the way, there is also the loyal Tian Da and his brothers. In fact, when I was watching, I was thinking that they never embezzled property and even brought the harvest. This is the honesty portrayed by the author. Lin Xiangfu never saw Xiaomei again until his death. They didn't see each other in Xizhen. They passed each other in the coffin. A book, many people's lives. This book contains many characters. I like it very much.

Look at two different lives from two perspectives. A casual sentence. He is searching for a lifetime. He may be feeling guilty. She knelt down and died in the heavy snow. Everyone is neither right nor wrong. Everyone looks at the nature of things around them from their own perspective. Even if I search for you all my life, I will pass by your grave after death. In my opinion, the worst thing is Lin Baijia. She was born unprepared and was abandoned by her mother when she was one month old. She grew up with Baijia's milk. When she grew up, she was sent to a girls' school in Shanghai to study with the two sisters of the Gu family. After that, her father Lin Xiangfu was killed by bandits. So far, Lin Baijia has no father or mother.

The whole story is told in simple and unembellished but very influential language. Although some of the stories are unrealistic, they are generally like what really happened, making people feel deeply and have a profound impact.

Harmful, I feel that everything in it is caused by a small decision or event, which has already led to the fate of subsequent characters. For example, Xiaomei insisted on giving birth to Lin Xiangfu's child, which led to his going south, etc. It broadens the horizon of life, as if a person's destiny is easy to control and master, showing the humbleness of the individual. . . .

Everyone has his own "literary city" in his heart

It is realistic and cruel, and the details of the characters are portrayed very well. The humor and humor are indeed true in the context of the time, and it is very real.

It seems that Xiaomei and "Song Gang" will continue to suffer if they live in this kind of abnormal emotion, and they can only be relieved by death.
