"The Book of Life" is Brother Pei Fu's masterpiece, and it is well deserved to win the top prize. The characters described in the book have distinct personalities and full of emotions. There is an old uncle who hides his merits and fame and devotes himself to serving the villagers. There is Cai Weixiang, who is rebellious and stubborn and dares to fight. There is Liang Wufang, a capable and paranoid petition expert. There is also an extremely smart and unscrupulous man. The camels of means include the love-obsessed and exhausted Meicun, the short and humble sister-in-law Chong who is constantly striving for self-improvement, the selfish teacher Du Qiuyue who abandoned his wife and daughter, the tofu king Wu Chuncai who is not close to women and works hard to get rich, and so on. The stories that happened to them are fascinating and unforgettable. The novel embodies the author's thoughts and perceptions about life, society and life itself, reflects the unique living environment of the Central Plains culture, and explores the cultural heritage of the Central Plains. It is a heavy "album of life".
I couldn't calm down for a long time after reading it. I didn't know who the author was. I opened this book purely by chance. The title didn't attract me, and the subject matter was not of interest to me. I was looking for a new book to read before going to bed, and I met him like this. Then I was deeply attracted by him after not reading a book for twenty years. After reading this paragraph, I felt in my heart that it was so well written, so well written! So well written! Awesome! The author is so good at writing! That's amazing! It's better than my words can describe. My favorite five-star piece!
Li Peipu is one of my favorite writers. His works, like Bailuyuan, Alive, Big Breasts and Wide Hips, Ordinary World, etc., Depict the real life of Chinese farmers, which is embarrassing and shocking. It is a history of blood and tears of Chinese farmers.
Every character is so vivid, with different personalities and ill-fated fates. When people live in the world, they will suffer all kinds of blows. God will make an unbearable life miraculously change a lot in the world, and even become very rich. It will also make a rich person encounter changes and become very poor and fall to the bottom. Just like the epiphyllum, while the beauty blooms, life will perish in an instant! Ordinary people who do not experience great storms in life cannot understand the author's mood. An orphan who grew up eating a lot of food, when he received a note from his old uncle, he felt very conflicted and wanted to escape. At that time, he was not able to help the villagers who raised him. When he returned to his hometown with a disability after a successful career, he wanted to find a way to help the villagers get rich in order to repay the villagers who raised him. Each household chipped in to send him to school for 19 years. How much kindness must this have brought him? The protagonist said that he must find a way to make the villagers rich. If he can't find it, let his son find it. If his son can't find it, let his grandson find it. Because I am still a villager in Wuliang Village after wandering around, fallen leaves will always return to their roots! There are so many moving parts in the article, and it is deeply rooted in people's hearts when read, and it is always brought into the situation.
It is worthy of being the work of a famous contemporary writer, and the writing is written without haste or impatience. Yu profoundly describes the complexity of human nature in No Haste and No Haste, which leaves endless aftertaste. Highly recommended [like] [like] [like]
It is worthy of being an award-winning work. It is well worth reading. All aspects of life change and settle with historical changes. Glory rises and falls. Wealth and wealth are all ordinary and anxious and peaceful depending on the state of mind and desire. Bottom line, bottom line! It must not be broken! Otherwise, the abyss awaits you!
I couldn't stand this book at first. I feel that there is a sour pain in the contradictions inside, and it is painful to read. Later, I discovered that this book interpreted everything to the extreme. It describes the sadness of too many people who are unable to control their desires after receiving benefits and become obsessed and eventually fall into the abyss. The ending shaped by various changes and choices allows us to see the blocked return to nature. As said at the beginning of the article: Fallen leaves return to their roots, and some people will never return to their hometowns throughout their lives. When we walk around in this world and are dazzled by too many flowers and green trees, we can no longer find the innocent self we once had. I personally support changing circumstances as one wishes. If one's mood changes, we will no longer be able to find the leisurely path back to our hometown. So I can only confuse myself by remembering the innocence and beauty of the past, and extract a sense of belonging from it. The author's writing style is very good, not pretentious, but profound. Through words, you can see the world of group portraits, glimpse into the ups and downs of a group of people's lives, and find the most precious things to you.
The characters are richly portrayed, and each character seems to be standing in front of us with flesh and blood. Diu is an orphan, but there are people behind him, including his old uncle and the entire Wuliang Village. For some people, it is lost, but for some people, it will come back. Life is full of flavors and human nature is complex.
The portrayal of each character is very vivid and can leave a deep impression on people. In the first two chapters, Wu Zhipeng just walked out of the countryside, but he was caught back by invisible hands that were repaying his kindness. He had no choice but to resign and stay away. In the end, he became a rich man but could never go back. Luo Tuo is a very complex person with vision, talent, time-grabbing, bloody spirit, and a good command of tactics; Old Uncle, Chongsao, Liang Wufang, Chuncai... Each one has a story...
The rich characters and emotional characteristics of Luotuo, the old party secretary and others are described with unique literary characters. Character determines destiny, and each person's behavior determines the final fate.
The real replay of the scene at that time allows readers who have never experienced it before to appreciate the staged reality, flesh and blood, and easy to understand. The description of sensitive areas can be accepted by all kinds of readers, and the writing is appropriate. I like this kind of work very much. Thank you to the author for your hard work!
The teacher talked about it in class, so I watched it. It's good to watch. Rural children are very impressed. I'm acting as my grandfather as the old uncle, and my teacher is acting as the protagonist Wu. I haven't finished it yet, so I'll continue reading.
It's a wonderful novel. As someone who was born in the 1980s, grew up in the countryside and now lives in the city, I can understand the protagonist's state of mind very well. The rural life of my childhood was engraved in my bones. When I was young, I wanted to escape and go to the city to experience the prosperity. But after all, I felt alienated from the city and felt confused. The scene in my dreams was still that land. But times have changed, and even if we go back there again, we can't find the smell of that era again. That smell is only in our memories.
This book describes in detail what I have seen and heard throughout my life, as well as my thoughts on different lives. It tells the different destinies of life from the shallower to the deeper. It especially mentions the living conditions of the older generation and the appearance of the countryside in the 1970s and 1980s. It describes the simplicity and diligence of the rural people, and expresses their sustenance and longing for their hometown.
It has a lot of insights and is a classic worth re-reading many times. Lao Cai who protects the villagers, Luo Tuo who keeps moving forward unscrupulously, Sister-in-law Chong who is strong but maternal but short in stature, Plum Village who is always looking for a harbor, Du Qiuyue who is selfish and arrogant, Liang Wufang who is capable and stubborn, and pure Chuncai. All characters have their own choices and returns. Moreover, the author's writing is strong and his language always has a unique beauty and the characteristics of poetry.
2025.3.9 A big feeling after reading this: Life is not easy, everyone should cherish it! The identity "I" want to get rid of the most is the warm place I think of when facing life and death; Meicun has been pursuing love but was tortured by love and lost himself; Luotuo was decisive and resourceful and finally died here. After all the mechanisms were exhausted, he lost his life. Everyone has their own desires and frustrations, and no one needs to envy anyone else. Lawyer Long Fei said, "Everyone has a set of shackles. Even the richest people have their own areas to compromise." Indeed, being yourself and neither being humble nor arrogant is a required course in life.
When listening to books, you really need to listen to books written by educated people. The last book I listened to was also written by a teacher, called "He Luo Tu", and you can also learn about some real events in a special era! The content is very contagious, making people cry, laugh, and feel infinite emotions~~
I haven't read such a vivid book in a long time. Tribute to the author
There were a lot of things to puzzle over when I first read it, but as the story unfolded, it became more interesting the more I read. Everyone has a story, everyone is going through it, struggling, and it touches the heartstrings. There are many Henan dialects in the article. I am from Henan, so I read it very kindly!
The writing is humane to the core, and everyone is vivid. I like authors who have feelings. It's really good.
The characters in this book are very realistic and their personalities and experiences are relatable. The writing style is simple and unpretentious, but it can make people deeply attracted by the story. The author's writing style is concise and vivid, making me feel like I am in the world of the book while reading. This is a good book worth reading, it will make you think more deeply about life.
It's a great work that I've been wanting to read since I started reading it! The characters and scenes are vividly described, insightful into human nature, and detailed, making you feel like you are actually there. Each vivid life destiny, the ups and downs, makes people sigh and think deeply. Life is not easy, so you must cherish and be grateful to those who treat you well.
The book describes vivid characters through simple language, reproducing the good, evil, beauty and ugliness of human nature. If you look at everyone's life course through human nature, you will find that everything has a cause and effect, and destiny is determined. Don't be discouraged when you are frustrated, and don't get carried away when you are proud. The blooming of life can only achieve ultimate beauty if it operates normally according to the laws of nature, otherwise it will only be a flash in the pan.
A book worth reading carefully. Different life characters are like glass balls with different colors and details. Some are black sufferings, some are white ordinary, and some are blue twists and turns. Around the "bright" glass ball of the old uncle, many interesting characters are described. Different glass balls, different lives, different trajectories...
The author writes really well, vividly displaying the bitterness, sourness, and sweetness of people at different levels in front of readers through delicate writing. Especially older readers, they feel more immersive.
A group of people are vivid and lively, while a book is thick and desolate. The fate of life is so unpredictable, and there is no choice but to come and go. Thoughts go and go in great waves, where are the roots of the ups and downs? Rich, sinful and glorious, miserable, tired and heartbroken, ruthless, meaningless and helpless, without blessing, longevity and prosperity. Weeds are born to grow wildly, Yushu and Qionghua are damaged by nature, and people live only one life. Right or wrong is madness.
Mr. Li Peifu is my favorite writer, and I have read basically all of his novels and novels. Mr. Li's writing and language are extremely excellent and can be said to be unique in China. Each part of the Plain Trilogy is worth reading. After reading it, it feels like you have lived your life all over again. The book "Book of Life" is a group portrait book. There are many psychological descriptions of the protagonist, but it focuses more on describing side characters. Each character carries the imprint of the times. Mr. Li depicts the characters deeply through refined language. Twenty to thirty thousand words is the life of the character. It describes the different choices everyone made in order to survive under the change of that era. They are stubborn and fragile. Human life is very short and very long. Realist literature neither beautifies the countryside nor demonizes the city, so it is worth reading. Camel reminds me of Baldy Li in the book "Brothers", but the ending is different. I can't remember the specific ending of "Brothers". That's the charm of books. It can classify all kinds of different people into the same channel.
The author's writing skills are very profound. When I write the review, I don't remember who the author is, but I know that the author is a great person. This book is worth reading again. There are many delicate expressions, profound thoughts, and precise wording and sentence construction. It is amazing!
I have read most of Li Peifu's works. "The Sheep's Gate", "The Lamp of the City" and "The Book of Life" are all very well written. Their thoughts on human nature and deep understanding of society are thought-provoking! The content is rich and vivid, and the characters and thoughts are described delicately!
Under the rapid flow of the times, different people have different struggles and lifestyles. No matter high or low, right or wrong, they can see the words as they see the face.
