Houyao Village is a microcosm of the special historical period in Chinese rural areas. Wan Shengshou, the barefoot doctor at Houyao Medical Station, fell ill, leaving Houyao Village without its own doctor. Who can take over? Wan Quanhe. But why should this Wan Quanhe take over? Has he studied medicine? No. But he is the son of Wanshou. If he doesn't want to be a doctor, who will? In this poor and backward Houyao Village, if he is not a doctor, who will care about the farmers' diseases? The author uses a daily narrative style, uses restrained humor, and uses trivial daily life to build a spiritual world. He uses a warm attitude to care about the relationship between people, society, and diseases. He depicts the image of a rural barefoot doctor, thus showing the roots of China's countryside, deeply expressing his concern for the living conditions of people in Chinese rural society, and depicting the protagonist's true inner world in a plain and ordinary way.
Reader comments
The subject matter is novel and close to life. They are people and things we are familiar with. Only when you look at the author's name and insist on reading the book can you understand the author's theme. The intention is profound, the vision is unique, the technique is strange, and the narrative is not priestly, allowing readers to reflect on themselves. It's so unforgettable that I couldn't help but read it a second or three times before I could understand it thoroughly. It is recommended that you read it patiently, do not seek novels and travel through time, and do not carry colored tapes. Only with a normal mind can you read the taste,,,,,,
This book reminded me of my life in the countryside when I was a child. There was also a barefoot doctor in the village. Although he did not have a high degree of education, he was deeply loved and respected by the villagers. The detailed descriptions of rural life in the book are very realistic, which made me feel the simplicity of the countryside and the kindness of the people. At the same time, the protagonist Wan Quanhe's persistence in being a carpenter also resonated with me. That kind of persistence and hard work for the ideal is really touching. This is a very warm book, recommended to you.
