Alive

This book is really full. It's a good knife. Teacher Yu Hua, the sword is not old yet [laughing]

Taking Fugui's life as the main line, through the change of "my" perspective and "Fugui's" perspective, it narrates the interlocking sorrows and joys, and also interjects the bitterness and tranquility of Fugui many years later. The characterization is complete and lifelike. He may be an outsider in the book, but he may eventually become a person in the book. Apart from worries, I became happy when the plot turned around. Uneasy, but also lucky. There is true love in the world! Save suffering and at least live for true love. If you can, live for yourself.

Very well written. I haven't dared to watch it because I heard it was very sharp. I finally finished reading it today. It's a knife indeed. But I didn't cry to death. Yu Hua wrote it very well. Everyone's suffering was natural and ordinary. After reading it, I only felt a touch of sadness. Unlike today's novels that pursue reversal, the story of "Alive" keeps moving forward until the unexpected comes. After Fugui lost his money, he went to pay off his debts and did not gamble again. Jiazhen suddenly got better after a long illness, not a comeback. Erxi is really honest and honest. Fengxia really married into a good family. Youqing has always been kind. Everyone reaches their own ending as a matter of course. … The book is very good and I recommend it to anyone who can think.

Read it in one go, don't dare skip chapters! I couldn't stop crying on the way. Bitter, so bitter! Although we are born to suffer, the experiences of Fugui's family are really deplorable - three points worse than Coptidis! Living, living is so difficult!

A rare good book, with vivid people on the page, the doting of wealthy parents, Youzhen's persistence, Youqing's love for sheep, but the sheep he raises always cannot escape the fate of being slaughtered, which also indicates that Youqing cannot escape the fate of being slaughtered. Fengxia was so cute, hard-working and sensible, but she left after giving birth to Kugen. Erxi saw her father-in-law's house for the first time, and renovated it all the second time. When she was in the hospital, she always wanted to be an adult, and she was a real man. After her wife died, she was always thinking about paying back the money, and she used Kugen as the motivation to live. How could she be beaten to death? Later, Kugen also died due to Fugui's ignorance and aging. I couldn't breathe for a moment after watching it. Why does God torture a person who only wants to do good for his family like this? What is the meaning of living? Is it just to send them all away? Maybe a thousand readers will have a thousand feelings and opinions about "Alive". Maybe if Fugui in the book passes away, no one will really remember these former family members. "Coco" said: Death is not the end of life, forgetting is. After all, Fugui has the best parents, the best wife, the best son and daughter, the best son-in-law, and the best grandson. Love is an everlasting force that transcends all dimensions.

I finished reading it in one day. The novel is not long but has great staying power. It's very sad to watch the whole story, because the characters in it die one by one, but you can't fault his death. They rush down the torrent of the times and leave one by one. It is obvious that Fugui may be the one who is easiest to die, but he lives to the end. Everyone's death is unexpected, but under that background, it feels expected. The metaphors in it are also very interesting. The metaphors are from the perspective of Fugui as a farmer. The most famous one is salt. Including the full text, it is mentioned that the wrinkles on the face are like the paths in the fields and the "I" at the beginning is like a sparrow flying around, which are common scenes in the countryside. Finally, the most touching thing is that Fugui led the cow and counted the names with him one by one. The regret is like the humidity coming up in Huangmei Tian, which makes your joints uncomfortable. It will always be with you. The feeling will not be very strong but cannot be ignored. Summary: It is worth reading both in terms of practical significance and writing style.

I read it for more than four hours in one night. It really made me sad while watching it. But it was not the tragic description that made me sad, but the things in life. The ups and downs can make people feel shocked. Now that I have just finished reading, I am a little bit deeply involved. I have an inexplicable feeling that is very uncomfortable. I am amazed at the literary talent of Teacher Yu Hua. The characters he depicts directly touch my heart and affect my emotions.

Although "Alive" is painful, it shows a lot of the brilliance of human nature and the warmth of life. The love between Fugui and Jiazhen is enviable; Youqing died young but had the opportunity to show off his sports talents and met a master who understood him; Fengxia had a hard life and married a good man like Erxi a few years before her death... I came here after watching the movie. In short, both the book and the movie are indeed good works!

After reading it, it touched my heartstrings. I saw the suffering of the characters in the plot, and the sufferings of the characters in the plot also touched my heartstrings. I burst into tears [crying]. At this moment, I also understood the famous saying in the preface: People live for living itself, not for anything other than living. The title of this work is "Alive". As a word, "live" is full of power in our Chinese language. Its power does not come from shouting or attacking, but from enduring the responsibilities that life gives us, to endure the happiness and suffering, boredom and mediocrity that reality gives us. Life belongs to everyone's own feelings and does not belong to anyone's opinions. This is a good book and worth recommending to everyone to read! [Praise]

I read it again, and I had different feelings when I read it at different ages. I would cry when I read it before. Although I felt heartbroken this time, I didn't shed any tears. Maybe I have really felt what reality is like now that I am older. This book "Alive" is so worth revisiting many times.

It's really good to read. The theme of this book is the title of this book: Living, what is the meaning of life? Maybe it's the lover who accompanies you through difficulties, or the relatives who take care of you, or maybe it's that old cow...

"Alive" shows China's tremendous changes from the feudal era to the socialist era through Fugui's life experience. Fugui's family fell into decline. He lost his family, property, and even relatives, but he still persisted in surviving. In this process, we have seen the great changes in Chinese society and how ordinary people persist in faith and hope in the face of suffering. "Alive" shows the glory and dignity of human nature through the depiction of Fugui's family. During Fugui's most difficult time, his family always supported him and accompanied him. Especially Fugui's wife and son, who never left Fugui when he was in trouble, and finally helped Fugui overcome the difficulties. These characters make us feel the true love and warmth of the world. "Alive" also explores the issue of the meaning of life through Fugui's life. After experiencing various hardships, Fugui gradually realized that the meaning of life does not lie in pursuing material satisfaction, but in cherishing every moment in life and working hard to survive. This kind of thinking about the meaning of life makes "Alive" not only a novel about survival, but also a work about the philosophy of life. Overall, "To Live" is a touching novel. Through Fugui's life experience, it shows the living conditions of ordinary people in social changes and highlights the brilliance and dignity of human nature. This work is worth reading over and over again and drawing the wisdom and strength of life from it.

Living is such a heavy time, such a heavy fate. The family will be lucky after death. Is living a blessing? Or is it expensive? The characters are well created, and everyone works hard and desperately to contribute a little bit of goodness and kindness in human nature, and accumulate a little bit of light for the living. Living is practice, and dying is liberation.

I read this book for three days. Because I heard it was too sad, I even did my "homework" in advance, fearing that I would be stupid, but I still burst into tears at the end even though I knew it. Others have said that it is very good, and you will only know it if you read it yourself. I will not spoil it. If you like sad, just read it. Well, I didn't say a word after reading it. The writing of this book is delicate, just like thick and mellow tea. It needs to be read carefully. Compared with most current novels, it is less violent and more peaceful. I want to watch the TV series adapted. I don't know if I have the courage to read it.

In fact, I have wanted to watch Mr. Yu Hua's "To Live" for a long time, but I have never watched it. I went to watch it because I had to write a review for my college assignment [laughing and crying] [laughing and crying] Before reading it, I was very curious, what kind of work can be labeled with the word "alive"? Because I heard that this work brings strength to many patients with depression, I was also curious about what kind of sunny and positive work the author would create. After reading this, my first reaction was "Why why why? The house leaked and it rained all night. Fugui was already so miserable, and he had to go through so many life and death." All I could think of was sympathy. [Almost crying] [Almost crying] Later, I slowly realized that this is the subtlety of the author's arrangement of the plot! Fugui is the epitome of the life of ordinary people in the countryside in that era, but at the same time, his optimistic and strong attitude towards life is the best portrayal of the title of the book "To Live".

The most precious thing about "Alive" is that it is not sensational, preachy, or pretentious. The writing is concise and powerful, bright and clear. After reading it, I felt heavy in my heart, but also inexplicably at ease. In Fugui's life, he went from prosperity to desolation, from liveliness to loneliness. In the end, his old friends disappeared and he depended on an old cow. But there was an almost divine calm about him. He accepts all the arrangements of fate, does not struggle or accuse, and just lives seriously. Even though I know that life is full of hardships, I just keep walking forward, unhurriedly, like a silent flowing river. Only after reading this can you understand: Fate can take away everything, but it cannot take away the right to "live". In summary, it is recommended to watch. There is no bloody epilepsy plot. It is heart-breaking but not pretentious. It is realistic and warm. There is hope in the desperate story. This simple vitality is more powerful than many inspirational stories on the market.

It took me nearly 4 hours to read the entire book. Every line in the text is permeated with the view of life and death, explaining the profound meaning of "we live for ourselves, not for things outside ourselves." The author initially used the third person to present the story with the protagonist Fu Guiyi. Later, Fugui's first-person "I" was used to cut into the theme, which was touching and sincerely expressed the tragic fate of Fugui's life. From a literary point of view, the change of person in the article and the expression of emotions all showed the author's extraordinary talent in writing. It is a work of high literary value in the history of literature. From the perspective of life philosophy, the book expounds the life philosophy of "living" and tells us that no matter how many blows and setbacks life gives us, we must always maintain a normal heart to face life calmly, view the issues of life and death correctly, establish a correct outlook on life and death, and not be trapped by life. From the perspective of historical background, the characters shown in this book all have changes in their personalities and the tragic fate they face due to specific historical circumstances. To a certain extent, it also hints at the helplessness and sadness of people under the social background at that time, creating a sad and desolate style for the story telling, leaving people with deep thoughts.

The characters created in the book "Alive" are very distinct, and the protagonist's life and destiny are also products of the times. The language is simple but the story development is closely connected, with moderate turns, no nonsense, no verbosity, and a full sense of fate. While depicting the characters, it also displays the background of the times vividly and exquisitely. The protagonist goes from the young master of the landlord's family to losing his land, to the landlord being overthrown but he escapes. He caught a young man but was captured and then released, a pot boiled but was boiled into steel, Youqing died but Jiazhen survived, Fengxia died but Kugen came back to life, the author kept closing a door and opening a window, misfortunes and blessings depended on each other, but in the end the protagonist was filled with a sense of loneliness!

Read it on March 19, 2024. I felt very sad after reading it, and I don't know how to describe it. Fugui's life went from high to low, his relatives left one by one, white-haired people gave away black-haired people, and in the end there was only an old cow, "Fugui", accompanying him, which was enough for him. Every time when someone was about to die, I thought things would turn around and that this person wouldn't die, so I could look forward to it, but when I looked back, I still left, which made me feel depressed. I have to say that Yu Hua is really good at writing!

The story as a whole is very pessimistic. It tells the story of a rich boy living in a feudal society. After getting addicted to gambling, he gradually degenerated and his family fell into ruin. However, his wife never left him. It criticized the dark system and landlord class of feudal society, and also included the impact of land reform on the peasant class... It is a mirror that reflects the real society.

It took me a few hours to read it in one go. It was really good. No knife was used throughout the whole process. It's a happy life. [Smile]

The first time I read it was in high school. At that time, I had an indescribable feeling in my heart. It was quite uncomfortable. Now that I have read it again, I feel the same way. I can only say that the characters in this book are very well portrayed and too sharp.

It's so beautiful and I love watching it. I watched it at night and saw the scene about celebrating death. I burst into tears. When I woke up in the morning, my eyes were swollen. When I woke up at noon, four people died in an hour. I cried to death [crying][crying][crying][crying]

The full text mainly tells the story of the author listening to an old man named Fugui telling a story about his youth and middle age. During this period, the old man with white hair gave away his wife, daughter, son, son-in-law, and grandson to the black-haired man. The plot of the story is also very interesting. I recommend everyone to watch it🤗

I highly recommend this book. It allows people to understand human nature, overcome suffering, and understand the true meaning. Every storyline is very emotional. I give the author a thumbs up and thank you Tomato APP!

After watching the movie version of "Alive" for many years, I read Teacher Yu Hua's masterpiece. I have to say that Teacher Yu Hua was a bitter melon planter in his previous life, and the fruits were large and bitter. These sufferings and tragedies always appear when the days are full of progress and hope is seen, and then suddenly they go down like a roller coaster and rush. Looking at the calm lines of words, my heart is actually turned upside down, and I don't know whether to cry or laugh with complicated emotions. The movie has been much kinder, and the original novel has left readers with holes in it. It's painful, it's really painful, it's too painful...

Adopting a flashback writing sequence and starting the narrative from when Fu Gui was old, I have to say that it really attracted me. And it is narrated in a conversational way, which is very contagious to me. There are no dazzling vocabulary and sentence patterns in the whole text, only the simplest descriptive techniques. The previous article may be a bit boring to read, but everything in the previous article has paved the way for the following article. It implicitly reflects the corruption of the old society, including the sinister human heart and Chinese-style education. The following article can really make people cry to death. The whole article does not mention living but never leaves living, which also reflects the difficulty of living. It's a good article worth reading.

It's very real, it's real grief, and Fugui is a true portrayal of the life of the most ordinary person under the oppression of the old society. Looking back, Fugui's life was really too hard. He finally got some motivation to live, but then disappeared immediately. Finally, everyone left, leaving only Fugui and his cow. Fugui watched his relatives leave him one by one, and there was nothing he could do. I have different feelings every time I read it. Teacher Yu Hua's writing style is really amazing. When I read it, I felt very sympathetic. I shed tears before I knew it. The writing is very real. I will read it again if I have the chance. No matter how hard or tired you are, you must persist in living well.

I have read a lot of abuse articles, but they are all novels and fake. But this one was different, it actually happened, and it was the one that touched me the most.

This book almost tells the entire life of Xu Fugui, from his father, mother, to his wife, daughter, son, son-in-law, and grandson. The timeline spans a lot, and it has very obvious characteristics of the times. He went from being a prodigal, a prodigal, and his father died to later joining the army and returning home, only to find out that his mother was gone. He got better later, but his wife was sick and couldn't eat. The story is full, the hospital was careless, the son died, the daughter had a dystocia, the son-in-law was crushed to death, the grandson left when he was only a few years old, and now there is only one cow. The whole story is very bland, almost without any deliberate intention, but it is still uncomfortable to watch at certain points. Overall, there is no strong emotion, it just follows the development, and finally leads to an ending that is almost peaceful now. The details are arranged very cleverly. For example, the part about Chunsheng and his son is written in a helpless and sad way. There was also care, just like my father had not fallen for so many years, but he died immediately after falling for the first and last time. There was also Fengxia's dystocia, which was worrying at first, but she was suddenly hit by a stone just as she was relieved. Erxi said that he wanted the big one, not the small one, but they only gave the small one. It was like fate playing tricks on people.
