"Joke" is an urban emotional novel. Because of a joke among friends, the depressed protagonist Lu Xiaodong entered a new social circle from his ordinary work and family life. He met the young and beautiful designer Shi Ning, which shed light on Lu Xiaodong's dull life and opened a Pandora's box. Against the background of reform and opening up, the novel presents a picture of contemporary urban life. The story leads from one joke to another, with small jokes hidden within the big jokes, but every seemingly absurd joke reflects reality, like a mirror. It not only vividly depicts the struggles of people from all walks of life, but also critically examines the spiritual pursuits of different people under the difficulties of reality.
Reader comments
Good works are often written by oneself. Not only does the sense of substitution make people empathize and deeply feel, of course, the control of the text and the reasonable ordering of the plot are also inevitable reasons for being sought after. I look forward to the reappearance of excellent works!
When I read the first chapter, I felt that Jia Pingwa's writing style hit me. Then I went back to study the author. As expected, the two people have a deep connection: the relationship between writers and critics, and even professional critics. No wonder the writing style is similar, the techniques are the same, and the plot is very similar. I haven't read a work of this style in a long time, so I was so happy that I couldn't stop reading it. The author wrote "Joke" carefully, and I also read "Joke" carefully. Life, from a certain perspective, is also a joke, but some people really live it as a joke, while some people live it seriously. Some people are playing and laughing;
This book uses a joke as a clue to show the absurdity of real life and the complexity of human nature. Lu Xiaodong's experience reminds me of my own dilemma in life. Sometimes a small choice can change the direction of life. The characters in the book are distinct and their struggles and struggles made me relate to them. The author's description of urban life is also very vivid, making me feel like I am immersed in it. This book is like a mirror that allows me to see the reality and also makes me think about my own life.
The writing style is very delicate, especially the description of emotions is very good. The image of the protagonist is also that of mostly moderately successful middle-aged men. Life is not black and white, it just exists as written in the novel!
There is still a bit of perfectionism, so you can still be loved after having an affair. If the rift cannot be completely repaired, you will have to live with it in the future. A woman can avoid divorce for the sake of living, but betrayal cannot be forgiven.
This book is a published book written by a professional author, and it is very smooth to read. Sometimes I close my eyes while listening and reading and follow the author's rhythm. The author writes brilliantly, describing the work, love and power, marriage, and his own destiny of the protagonist Lu Dedong in the book. He was comfortable in the society at that time. The author writes about various women's love affairs in a colorful way, but does not touch the red line. I really admire the author's skill. I hope the future plots will be more exciting and have a perfect ending.
I watched it twice in a row. The first time I really envied the love between the two. Whether it is ambiguous or in love, it has to go back and forth like this, and it is evenly matched, which makes people happy and can't stop. When I watched it for the second time, I felt that the male protagonist was actually a philanderer, and his love for Shi Ning was nothing more than mediocre. And people like Shi Ning can only be characters in novels.
It's a very nice book. Many of the descriptions in it really touched my heart.
This author is a writer whose writing style is comparable to that of Jia Pingwa. His works are so beautiful!
This is human nature, lust is desire, especially for men, they will remember it until the moment they die. I heard that men will think of one time every 52 seconds. It is difficult for men to love only one person. The best sentence is I love you most. And women only love you. A woman just wants a lover. Men just want to keep chasing beauty. How many women, when their husband treats them well, think about whether he has done something sorry for me?
I finished reading it in one go. After reading it, what is left is endless silence, silence, silence... Good works can always hit people's hearts directly. Just like me now, I don't want to fall asleep for a long time, with the story of this book in my mind.
The writing is delicate, contemporary, and the description of emotions is remarkable.
A clear analysis of the passionate nature of men. It is always women who get hurt. Women's feelings are like a gamble. If you win the bet, you will be happy for a lifetime, but if you lose the bet, your life will be ruined... Most of the time, women's emotions are misplaced. In China, only a handful of women who are completely independent in body, mind, and wealth can truly control their own lives!
It's a good book, but it describes too much about the environment. I tripped over it while reading it.
Simple writing style and delicate emotional description
The layout is thoughtful, the foreshadowing is surprising, the plot is detailed, and the words and sentences are fluent!
It conforms to the characteristics of the times and reflects social reality.
The text is vivid and moving, and the story-telling method is clever, making people unable to resist reading. The atmosphere is not deliberately elaborate, but it is attractive and immersed in the situation. It is worth savoring carefully!
The writing about eating and drinking, men and women, is true and delicate, full of emotions. There is no right or wrong, only regrets. There is joy, there is hurt, there is regret, starting from the beginning, will you still choose this way? [Sinister smile]
