The Song of Everlasting Sorrow (Complete Collection of Mao Dun Literature Award-Winning Works) (2019 Edition)

I don't know why, when I read this book, I always think of the poem "I want to speak but tears are flowing now." Wang Qiyao's life is in the book. Her beauty, intelligence, and ability to dress up are all her assets, but they are also her shackles. The love with Director Li, Cummingson, and Lao Kera, the friendship with Wu Peishan, Jiang Lily, and Mrs. Yan, the family relationship with her mother, grandmother, and daughter Weiwei, and the relationship with Mr. Cheng, A'er, etc. From Wang Qiyao's teenage years to Weiwei's twenties, Wang Qiyao has experienced too much. As the saying goes, "This hatred lasts forever." , From winning the second runner-up of "Miss Shanghai" to people looking for the shadow and style of the times in her, Wang Qiyao's life has undoubtedly witnessed the development and changes of Shanghai. The article also reflects a certain degree of female consciousness. Although the women in it have different personalities, they are lively, real and full of life.

The writing style of this book is delicate and moving, the writing style is colorful, and it vividly describes a woman's forty years of love. I especially like the heroine in the book. She has experienced countless ups and downs in the changing times, which made me feel the impermanence and tenacity of life. Wang Anyi's writing style is plain but humorous and cold, which is worth reading.

The prosperous years are like a dream, but the sad and lamentable charm still exists. This is not only an old story of a beautiful woman and a beautiful city, but also an elegy for bright youth and the modern era. This book has an elegant and clear language style, describing the ups and downs of life in a calm and tranquil way. The blazing fire cooking the oil and the flower embroidery at the beginning are covered with a soft and pure veil from the girl's perspective, without appearing impetuous; the glory of the old age has gone, and the sadness and desolation are held in the soul by the immortal charm without being wiped away. It is a peaceful and beautiful reading experience that brings back memories over time.

Wang Qiyao's life was lonely and deserted, with ups and downs, and her death was very sad.

Overall, it's okay. I also bought the physical book.
