Drunkard (Liu Yichang Classic)

Rusty feelings are like a rainy day again, and thoughts hide and seek in smoke rings. The story of the drunkard begins and ends in Brandy. Reality sticks to memory like glue. The alcoholic died long ago in Hong Kong, a city with poor literature and backward thinking. He died at the moment when he wrote vulgar novels for a living, and he died at the moment when he broke with the idealistic McHomer. After all, the entanglement of lotus root silk was so thin that it could not be seen. The death of the old lady did not stir up the slightest splash. The drunkard amused himself forever in the darkness. Emotion is a decadent person, and the devil is grinning. This is a world where people eat people, this is a world where ghosts eat ghosts, and those who have no money eventually become ghosts! Feelings are bleeding, feelings are bleeding!

This book is very interesting! It is China's first stream-of-consciousness novel, which shows the inner world of an alcoholic with a unique perspective and delicate description. The author Liu Yichang's writing is very charming and makes people immersed in it. There is a sentence in the book that impressed me deeply: "Wine has become a kind of passport, often taking me to another world." This sentence vividly depicts the protagonist's dependence on alcohol. It is recommended that you also read it and feel its charm.

China's first stream of consciousness novel, Liu Yichang's excellent work to entertain himself. A chart of Mr. Liu's years as a literary editor, pain and suffering, joy and sorrow, ideals and reality... Searching for oneself, drunken utterances and drunken gaffes, and insights into literature. The ink has not dried even though the inkstone has been worn through the cold inkstone, and few people have read the chivalrous writings. The script was deceived into drinking wine empty-handed, and the cup was full of melancholy. The case is cold and the writing is remnant, the wine cup is empty, and there is no way to pass without great talent. The ink marks still have a feeling of sadness, and the universe and dreams are still poor when you are drunk. Wine has become Mr. Liu's "passport" to travel between reality and the spiritual world. In the confused flow of consciousness, redundant explanations are omitted and his psychological confusion is directly addressed. Liu Yichang expressed his profound insights into literature through the mouth of the protagonist: artistic work is a goal with inherent order in the material universe, and the creator has no intention of harvesting when he works hard. Although he longs for others to recognize him, he also knows that he does not have to force it. Like Joyce, even if he is misunderstood now, he still places his hope in readers a hundred years later, giving today's pain and suffering a meaning that transcends time and space.

I will always be moved by some literary core When I read the postscript, I was surprised when this book was written in the 1960s. To use some words in the book, it was too avant-garde. Even now, 25 years later, the general appreciation level of readers has not reached the standards of this book, and the literary issues written in the book still persist.

I sincerely hope that all online writers and readers can read it. It is different from Don Quixote's perspective, but it expresses similar thoughts.

The world in the eyes of an empty person may only be understood by similar people...

The mind is sharp but not tolerant. It is attached to every little thing without taking action.

The language is smooth and the psychological description of the protagonist is realistic, but I still like Faulkner for the stream of consciousness.

I really like the stream of consciousness written by the author. The writing is good. The protagonist is difficult to comment on but it is very realistic. People are so complicated.
