This is a microcosm of an era, very real. The misfortunes and sufferings the protagonist experienced in childhood have shaped her agile literary thinking and rich and powerful inner world! It can be said that steel is made into steel! Although delayed justice is not justice, delayed care is meaningless. But it is these experiences that have made you who you are now, the excellent you ~ So release those things in your heart that have been dusty for many years... Be calm or indifferent, as long as you are happy... 🍉 🍉 🍉
What kind of gentle writing style can write about the lovely people and delicate feelings of that era, the love between Zhang Jiguo and Xiong Fang, the marriage of Liu Yuming and Xiong Fang, the unforgettable love between Zhang Jijian and the party and the masses, making the clues in the relationship shine brightly. These scenes of "love of the times" and "love myths" are the most beautiful hymns to that generation. Our protagonist Xiao Zhang Jie reminds me of Deshan in 1988. Although you are not the first to be born, Zhang Pengtai's double-door cave will heal your childhood. There will be Gou Huan who silently protects you, and you will meet the bold and careful Aze. It will become your own light ~ Many years later, when you are close to your hometown, you will not be timid or hesitant, you will find that "The Raising of a Common Girl" is not just about Chen Jialing, you will finally bump into your past self and say with a smile: Hello, little Zhang Jie~
Nostalgia is a man's Odyssey, while escape is an epic carved into the female body. In a patriarchal society, preference for boys over girls has become a deeply ingrained concept. Under this influence, one can imagine the unfortunate childhood of the heroine Zhang Jie. Through the perspective of the heroine, we witnessed a social picture of the countryside, and at the same time, we unconsciously felt sorry for Xiao Zhangjie's unfortunate experience. Therefore, after adulthood, women can escape their unfortunate hometowns and have more and greater living space in big cities.
At first glance, the title of the book reminds people of the idiom "cowardly feeling close to home", but the author uses the word "wandering" instead. With a curious heart, I read it word for word from beginning to end, and finally understood the meaning of hesitation. As a country girl born under the family planning wave in the 1990s. The heroine, Jie Jie, is not favored, recognized, or expected. Her feelings towards her original family are very complicated. Want to cater and alienate at the same time. The father Zhang Jiguo is contradictory, he values friendship but is cold-blooded, and the mother Wan Ziyuanming is in a bloody native family, but the injustice and frustration of life are copied on the second daughter Zhang Jie. The coolness and warmth of human nature are perfectly displayed. A very realistic novel, full of laughter and tears. It's like going back to that era, shrouded in the moonlight thirty years ago, full of hesitation and timidity, it's worth reading! Of course, there are shortcomings, and that is Eunuch. I look forward to the second part coming out, and then continuing Zhang Jie's growth experience in the form of a memoir.
The writing is good. How good is it? I listen to the book with headphones at work and I have to find the chapter I just read and comment on it because it is really annoying. The bad life of the co-author is all caused by the second daughter. Your biological parents should not have given birth to you one at a time. They turned around and asked the children of several years old to do all kinds of housework. They beat and scolded them. It really doesn't look like their biological children. I might as well have given it to my sister. My sister clearly knew that the child was going to be returned and asked the child to recognize her as her parents. The older daughter is called smart when she is lazy, and the younger daughter is called stupid when she works. People who don't work are called idiots. People like this don't deserve children. They shouldn't have any.
In Zhangpengtai Village, due to generations of settlement, a big family has grown up. Generations of settlement have made "home" a continuous business community. Its main axis is between father and son, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. It is vertical, not horizontal. The couple became partners. In this village, I saw many couples over thirty years old who had little communication with each other. They just completed their own tasks, which is commonly known as "living together". The so-called romance in modern life cannot make a splash here. Although this kind of matching shaft is not temporary like the main shaft, these two shafts are rejected by the needs of survival and dignity! Chinese people are emotionally reserved and reserved, especially in matters of gender, and are unwilling to show it on the surface like Westerners. This is also a character developed in this traditional farming culture society. Zhang Jiguo and Wan Ziyuan's married life is very much like the golden couple in the TV series. There were noisy, bumpy and twists and turns, but fortunately they were able to maintain a little bit of love. The second daughter raised by such a couple system was fostered with relatives in her early years. After returning, she experienced a lot of indifference and injustice. The road to growth is bound to be bloody!
Following the author's elegant words, I feel like I have returned to that era, that simple town full of fireworks. Where time cannot go back, interesting souls can.
Thank you book friends for your support! This is my first debut book! I still love it very much in my heart! Thank you to all the book friends who have accompanied "Wandering in the Countryside". Your book reviews and paragraph reviews have given me great encouragement! When I was asked to write the second book, I also missed the youthfulness and ignorance of writing the first book! It's a pity that the first book ended in a hurry due to personal planning, but fortunately the second book is already here! I'm working hard to update! 💕
Very good! The characterizations are delicate, rich, real and contradictory, the environment descriptions have a sense of the times, and the storyline is eloquent, ups and downs, and exciting. I like the authenticity of the characters in the novel. There is no beautification or packaging. I miss that era. Although the era is passing by, the story will always be there.
It's very vivid and close to life, and I feel sorry for Xiao Zhang Jie, a doormat.
