The Seventh Day (2018 Edition)

It's so pretty, why do you need a membership?

It's so cruel, it's so good to cry, I can't hold back the tears. The love between Mouse Girl and Wu Chao is real and sincere, my father never abandons me, and Li Yuezhen's concern [almost crying] [almost crying] [almost crying] Although everything is based on tragedy and corrupt social atmosphere, these shining points still shine brightly, bringing a little bit of beauty into the abyss.

This book exposes the social phenomena at that time, which can be clearly reflected from the 27 babies and the VIP area at the beginning. When I saw it at the time, I just thought it was ironic that people were even classified into high and low when they died. This is not the case in today's society. The book also describes touching family ties and love. Yang Fei and Yang Jinbiao are not related by blood, but they are connected by a trace of blood. The family affection between them is irreplaceable. After reading it, I really felt a lot. When I saw Mouse Girl wearing a wedding dress and saw the dead people cleaning her body, I felt indescribable warmth in my heart. Everyone is like a beautiful big family, not relatives but better than relatives. I have always been afraid of death. I feel that death is lonely, empty, and illusory. But now I am no longer afraid of death. "Who has never died in life since ancient times?" What is terrible is not death, but forgetfulness.

I finished reading it in one go and it felt heavy. Their stories are realistic and sad but warm and touching. They are all ordinary and good people, but it really feels too cruel. I feel so sad when I see it [crying][crying][crying]

After reading Teacher Yu Hua's "The Seventh Day", I feel that he really writes well and it is quite depressing (his style is also the same as "To Live"). After reading it, I will feel melancholy. Although it exposes many dark things in society, there are also pure and beautiful feelings. He also has his own sense of humor in describing depressing things, and there is a lot of foreshadowing in the front. When you watch the end, you will suddenly understand. It is really amazing. Although it is a short film, it is very well written. I like it~

Yu Hua's "The Seventh Day" tells a story about life, death and human nature in an absurd way. Like Yu Hua's other works, this book also makes people feel the suffering and tenderness of life. The characterization of the characters in the book is delicate and nuanced, which reminded me of Fugui in "Alive". The author uses his unique writing style to let us find warmth in sadness and see hope in darkness. This is not only a book about death, but also a book about life.

This is the second work by Yu Hua I read after "Alive". After reading these two works, I was inspired to cherish the people in front of me and don't wait until they are lost to appreciate them; to live in the present, even if there is no happy ending, at least I have witnessed the beauty of flowers blooming.

I finished it quickly, and the part about my father really brought tears to my eyes. After reading it, it seems that there really is another world written by the author, where they can continue to reunite and work there just like Yang Jinbiao, just to wait for his son. They can settle their regrets and then choose to leave peacefully. The misunderstandings and regrets during his lifetime were all told after they reunited there.

It was very vague and sudden at first, but then each point was revealed in detail. Seven days after his death, he reviewed his life and told the ins and outs of various things. In many places, such as the "VIP area" and "Dead Babies", he satirized and criticized society, revealing the unknown side of society and the reality of the upper class controlling the lower class. It also described family affection, love, etc., And wrote that human nature is multi-faceted, and that there is selfishness and ugliness wrapped in layers of love. Teacher Yu Hua's novels are always written very realistically and he dares to write hahahahahaha! Like! After reading it, I feel knowing but helpless. How can contemporary society be... There is no place to die...!

After reading this, I have many emotions. Each character is full of delicate emotions. The father throwing him next to the stone is a reflection of humanity. At the same time, the rat man loved his girlfriend but also domestically abused her. Human nature is multi-faceted, and it is often only when people die that they feel regretful and indebted. Maybe I wrote it this way to make up for the emotions I couldn't let go of after I died.

He wrote about a lot of things, including family, friendship, love, the sorrow of life, simple and ordinary happiness, and also satire on human nature. After reading this, I felt a little heavy inside. It is a novel worth reading.

Uncovered, he reviewed his life seven days after his death and talked about the ins and outs of various things. He satirized and criticized society in many places, such as the "VIP area" and "Dead Babies", exposing the unknown aspects of society and the reality of the upper class controlling the lower class. He also described family affection, love, etc., And wrote that human nature is multi-faceted, and there is selfishness and ugliness wrapped in layers of love. Teacher Yu Hua's novels have always been very good.

The blurred boundaries between time/space/the living world and the past world are Yu Hua's characteristic magical realism works. There are so many sufferings in the world, but it conveys a warm imagination of the past, which is sad and touching at the same time.

My favorite story is really the story of a young couple. The other stories are indeed profound and touching, but the beautiful love of a young couple who never abandons each other and relies on each other is even more sad. Love is a constant feeling of debt. The girl feels that it has affected the boy's good work twice. The boy thinks that the girl is beautiful and has no shortage of people to chase her, but she still stayed with him in poverty for three years. Teacher Yu Hua's lethality is so amazing. I feel so sad when I see it [crying]

The family relationship between Yang Fei and his father is very touching. The two love lines are in sharp contrast. It is difficult to see such a strong and touching love again. I feel like death is not so terrible [crying]

It is a very touching book. The unfortunate people in life have their own misfortunes, twists and obsessions, but when they reach the "place of death without burial", they resolve some grudges and create reconciliation. The plots of the stories are intertwined, and some dark social reality problems are reflected between the lines. They form a sharp contrast with the suffering of the people at the bottom, and have a strong sense of irony. Blow this book up! !

Teacher Yu Hua always has a unique style. He satirizes this desolate world and never forgets to harvest our tears...

After reading "The Seventh Day", it turned out to be Teacher Yu Hua. Every word is simple but the description is deep into the bones. Just reading the words can make people immersed in the scene. Sometimes goosebumps, sometimes laughter, and at the end of the laugh, there is a helpless smile. It is deeply rooted in people's hearts. After thinking for a long time, it feels like floating in the sky and overlooking the world. . . . . .

Yu Hua's "The Seventh Day" begins with the death of Yang Fei and tells the story of what happened seven days after Yang Fei's death. There are family ties, love, strange friendships, and the cries of people at the bottom. The most impressive part is the story between Yang Fei and his father Yang Jinbiao. His mother accidentally gave birth to him on a train and he fell off the train. A child born on train tracks. His father, a train employee, picked him up when he was in his twenties. As an unmarried young man, he carried Yang Fei on his back, nursed and changed diapers and raised him. Later, someone introduced Yang Jinbiao to a partner, and the two got along very happily, but the partner didn't like Yang Fei and asked Yang Jinbiao to send Yang Fei to an orphanage. Yang Jinbiao did as he was told. He abandoned Yang Fei, took Yang Fei to another city, and placed him on a stone. But he immediately regretted it. He was worried about whether Yang Fei was cold or not, and whether he was afraid of dogs barking or the dark night. So he resolutely decided on an important matter. He would be single for the rest of his life and raise Yang Fei by himself. He stubbornly believed that he could only choose between a woman and Yang Fei. If he chose a woman, he would not be able to take good care of Yang Fei. Later, Yang Fei's mother came over. She is more of a self-motivated person. After searching for more than 20 years, he finally found his child. After bringing him back to the north, Yang Fei slept in the living room. After his mother realized that the child was a burden to him, she often complained to him that she was tired and had paid too much for the family, and lamented that his father Yang Jinbiao was such a good man. His mother is pitiful and hateful. If you can't bear all the trouble caused by the arrival of a person, don't go looking for him. It will be a torture for both of you. After Yang Fei realized that he was redundant, he decided to return to the south and found his father Yang Jinbiao at the train station. The two of them lived together again. Later, Yang Jinbiao became seriously ill and ran away from home. Went to the place where Yang Fei was abandoned. The feeling between them is beyond words. Yang Fei met his father after his death. Yu Hua's writing is straightforward and delicate. His 7th day makes me feel that the world after death may not be so scary. The people we love may be waiting for us in that place, and we can meet a second time. And that will be eternal life.

It looks good, but I'm curious as to why Yu Hua always writes wimps (not in a derogatory sense, I really like some characters and I can't find the right adjective for them). Can anyone analyze it?

Give you a knife at a warm moment. It's also a bit ironic of reality. Find time for a second brush. I should feel differently.

The soul reflects the body, recalls the life after death, and the underworld reflects on the earth. The ethereal and illusory writing style writes the bloody reality of the world.

It's quite good-looking. It's okay to torture you in all aspects of family and love. The main reason is that I had a cold in the middle of the night and was crying, and my nose was a little stuffy... It's very good-looking, very good-looking, really good-looking! , Family members, please take a look, it's very beautiful! ! ! , Written very beautifully by a great author! ! ! !

Many stories are the epitome of certain events in reality. Ordinary people and people at the bottom are working hard to live, but even if they live very hard, many injustices still linger around them. Unexpectedly, the inequality in reality is still unfair after death. It turns out that even the treatment after death is unfair. Although the people at the bottom live in an unfair and affluent life, they are still living or moving forward happily in their own way. Life is too hard, and they can only find happiness in bits and pieces. Everyone's choice is different, you can only respect the choices of others. Different choices lead to different paths. We cannot blindly judge anyone's choice, because everyone is trying their best to survive.

## When Death Becomes the Starting Point: Questions about Life in Yu Hua's "The Seventh Day" In the contemporary Chinese literary world, Yu Hua has always been a unique existence. His brushstrokes wander between reality and absurdity, deconstructing the weight of life with cold humor. "The Seventh Day" continues this unique narrative style, but sets its sights on a deeper realm of death. In this novel, death is not the end, but a mirror that reflects the true appearance of life. ### 1. Death narrative: another way to open life In "The Seventh Day", Yu Hua constructs a shocking narrative space-the world after death. This space is not heaven or hell in the traditional sense, but an existence parallel to reality. Here, death is no longer a taboo, but has become a unique perspective to observe life. The protagonist Yang Fei's seven-day journey after his death is actually a re-examination of life. The subversiveness of this narrative technique is that it breaks the inherent perception of death as the end in traditional literature. Yu Hua uses death to deconstruct death, and uses ending to interpret eternity. In this afterlife, the truth of life is more clearly visible. What was obscured, forgotten, and suppressed during life is released and revealed after death. The presentation of life from the perspective of death shows an amazing reality. All the disguises of life fall apart in the face of death, leaving only the most authentic state of life. This narrative strategy not only challenges readers' cognitive inertia, but also provides a new dimension of life thinking. ### 2. Intertwined life and death: the absurd picture of the real world Through the eyes of the dead, we see a more absurd reality. In this world, living people live in masks, but the souls of the dead show amazing reality. Yu Hua uses black humor to paint a ridiculous picture of reality. The hypocrisy of the living contrasts sharply with the reality of the dead. In the real world, people have to wear various masks, say things they don't mean, and do things against their will in order to survive. In the afterlife, these disguises are stripped away, revealing the most authentic appearance of life. This contrast not only highlights the absurdity of reality, but also reveals the dilemma of modern people's survival. The criticism of reality written by Yu Hua is both sharp and full of compassion. Through the perspective of the deceased, he presented all kinds of injustice, absurdity, and hypocrisy in the real world, but also revealed his deep concern for life in his criticism. This kind of criticism is not a simple denial, but a profound reflection on the nature of life. ### 3. Questioning about life: looking for the meaning of life in death The most profound thing about "The Seventh Day" is that it explores the meaning of life through death. In traditional understanding, death means the end, but in Yu Hua's writings, death has become the key to understanding life. Through death, we can see the essence of life more clearly. The philosophy of life and death in the novel breaks the traditional binary opposition thinking mode. Life and death are no longer polar opposites, but exist in mutual reflection and interpretation. From this perspective, the meaning of life is no longer limited to the process of life, but extends to the realm of death. Death is no longer a terrible end, but a part of life and an important dimension in understanding life. Thinking about the essence of life is the most touching part of "The Seventh Day". Through death narration, Yu Hua allows us to see the fragility and tenacity, absurdity and reality, ephemerality and eternity of life. This kind of thinking not only challenges the traditional view of life and death, but also provides us with a brand new way of understanding life. In this time of uncertainty, The Seventh Day offers us a mirror through which we can see beyond death to the true nature of life. Yu Hua used his unique narrative method to deconstruct the traditional concept of life and death and open a new window for us to understand life. This novel is not only a reflection on death, but also a tribute to life. It tells us that only by facing death can we truly understand the meaning of life; only by transcending the boundaries of life and death can we reach the essence of life. In this sense, "The Seventh Day" is not only a literary work, but also a hymn to life.

It's a pretty good book. It reveals the suffering of the people at the bottom of society and the darkness of society. It intersperses many storylines. Isn't it cliche? It has a very novel plot and writing skills. The love of the mouse girl is quite sadistic.

The living society is full of suffering, deceit, and miserable kind people, but it is as if they have arrived in heaven when they die without a burial place, which makes people feel relieved and sad at the same time. The whole text is full of satire on the ugly social reality and pity for the people at the bottom. The writing is smooth and it is a good book.

Teacher Yu Hua's works are always hard to stop reading. I am a very timid person, because I experienced the death of my grandma when I was young. I remember clearly that she was already very skinny, but she was lying there wearing fat and big clothes that were different from ours, with a red cloth covering her body. That scene made me frightened. From then on, Therefore, I was afraid of hearing about death or leaving. Reading this work often frightened me, but the charm of language and the plot of the story deeply attracted me. I was thinking about what happiness is. Everyone with money and power left early and turned into ashes without having time to look back and say goodbye to their loved ones. On the contrary, people who died without a burial place gained freedom and eternity. I loved the last sixth and seventh days, I felt love and happiness.

The writing is very plain, and some of the descriptions are very original, but they make you feel very vivid and real. The feelings between individuals are both sad and happy, which is very good. The father-son relationship between Yang Fei and Yang Jinbiao, and the innocent relationship between Mouse Girl and her boyfriend. There are also 27 babies. It not only reflects a warm society, but also reveals the darkness in those societies. And this perspective is very strange. It tells the story of the seven days after his death from the perspective of a dead man. All in all, it's worth a look.

Very interesting! After the death of the protagonist Yang Fei, he embarked on a seven-day soul wandering and encountered many sad stories of little people. Mouse sister died trying to buy a house, and Li Yuezhen and his wife passed away due to forced eviction, which is full of realistic helplessness. The absurd world of the undead contains the most shocking truth, and the father-son relationship between Yang Fei and his father is particularly warm. This book looks depressing, but it allows people to understand the pain and warmth of the little people at the bottom.
