"Beans and Sesame Tea" is the fourth book in Yang Benfen's "Seeing Women" series. It is a precious historical song of common people. The book is divided into two parts: "Past Marriage" and "The Limits of Heartbreak." After telling about his mother ("Autumn Garden"), fellow villagers ("Driftwood"), and marriage ("My Fragrance"), the author focuses on the marriages of three women, Mrs. Qin, Xiangjun, and Donglian, and details the confusion and pain, choice and responsibility, courage and persistence of women in intimate relationships. Even if their fate is unfair, they will not give up on self-salvation. In addition, the author recalls the past events he experienced with his mother and brother, as well as the heart-breaking pain when the two closest relatives passed away. Although those small things like sesame beans are as small, fragile and fleeting as dewdrops, they measured the limit of a person's sadness at that moment.
Reader comments
I have read two books by Teacher Yang Benfen, and they are both very exciting. The book "Beans and Sesame Tea" is like a cup of warm home-cooked tea, without a strong aroma, but with simple words, it boils out the tenacity and tenderness in the lives of ordinary women. The title of the book is taken from the hospitality tea in the countryside of Hunan. The beans and sesame seeds are ordinary and finely chopped, just like the ordinary people in the book who have been forgotten by time. Their stories are as small as dust, but in the years The brewing of the moon exudes the moving fragrance of life. After reading this novel, I feel that the bowl of warm bean and sesame tea is still in front of me. It taught me to respect every ordinary life and cherish every minute time. I hope that we can keep the tenacity and tenderness in our hearts in ordinary days. Even after going through wind and rain, we can live our own light in the world of fireworks like the women in the book.
Life is unpredictable, but everyone has his or her own unique book-life. You always have to talk to yourself in each period, and you have to see if your soul is really happy.
This book made me see myself and the world.
I hope that at the end of my life, I can quietly read my life's books at my desk.
I don't know how many times I cried while reading this book. There are no gorgeous words but real feelings. Every time I read a paragraph, I was struck by Grandma Yang Benfen's sincere emotions. I also understood my grandparents, parents, and parents better, which made me cherish the time I have now even more.
After reading "Beans and Sesame Tea", the story in the book is immersive and touching. The content is also very simple and unpretentious. It vividly and vividly depicts the beautiful and difficult memories in the memory of the protagonist's mother and close family members. The story says that a person's life to first life is a matter of an instant, and death is eternity. It encourages people not to be afraid of death, to make good use of life and spend more time with their families in the limited time, and to persevere even if there is misfortune. In the story, the mother makes bean and sesame tea for her brother. Both mother and brother are the backbone of the family. The author recalls the people and everything in his family like beans and sesame seeds. They are small, worth remembering, and indispensable!
Writers of the older generation write particularly well, as if books shine into life, like real people around them. The first part is relatively easy, but the second part is quite painful. The sincere love for my mother and brother, and the pain of not being able to let go, can especially bring me into the role, and make people think deeply about what will happen when they face their parents in the future. Don't be anxious in advance, but you also need to think carefully. If you can't do your best, you will do your best.
The two books written by my great-grandma were too painful. I read two stories last night and felt very sad. I don't know why I had a stomachache in the middle of the night. Alas, maybe I took the stories seriously, because they are all about real people and real things in real life.
The first half of the book tells the story of the marriages of three ordinary women, each with their own difficult experiences. The second half recalls the moments of getting along with my mother and brother, which is very affectionate. A very short book, it is really like the homely chatter of Hunan people while drinking bean and sesame tea. The sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, salty, and mixed flavors are all mixed in this cup of tea, and I swallowed it all.
The sorrow of women at the bottom is vividly expressed here. Unfortunate childhood, eating forbidden fruit while still studying, and experiencing domestic violence. It is a good book that makes readers feel heavy when reading it, but it truly reflects the sorrow of women at the bottom.
The stories of others written above are a wake-up call for girls to seize their own future.
The people who remember the deceased relatives in the back burst into tears and thought of their own family members. My husband asked me why I was still watching it when I was crying while watching it? Because through the author's words, you can express your longing for your loved ones.
This book is very real. It tells about the misfortunes and struggles of ordinary women in marriage, which is very relatable. I especially like the story between the author and Mrs. Qin. Although Mrs. Qin has a hard life, she is optimistic and likes to read, which I admire very much. But I kind of hate Mrs. Qin's wife. He does nothing but causes trouble to Mrs. Qin. Overall, this is a book well worth reading as it allows us to see the strength and tenacity of women.
In fact, I prefer the first half. The second half is very touching, but I don't want to watch it or face the death of my loved ones in the future.
It may seem ordinary, but it's all true stories told. I like the description of ordinary characters, it's very real.
After reading this book, first of all, I felt that although the content is not as ups and downs as the novel, it can still attract readers and feel the beauty of family love. At the same time, it has a reflection effect on women, individuals, and social reality, giving people a deep understanding. It is worth reading again and savoring carefully.
Endless pain, endless longing
The sense of immersion is so strong. Even if you are not of the same generation as the author, there are still many places where you can relate to it, especially the part about the love between mother and daughter, which makes people cry. The article is simple but touching, making people unable to put it down!
The second half of this book is very touching. The love between mother and daughter, and the love between brothers and sisters are very real and touching.
Yes, in this life of a person, life is short, death is eternal, so true feelings from the heart are the most important and most reassuring.
They are really a family that loves each other, is simple and kind, and has a loving heart that encourages each other.
"There is no karma in the world. Many people can only silently walk the path of kindness and misfortune, and finally hide all the helplessness in the world into their memories with a touch of self-deprecation or complete silence."
It turns out that bean and sesame tea tastes like tears
Tasty bean and sesame tea [like]
The content is real and touching
A very suitable book for girls to read. You must save money, be independent, and love yourself more than anyone else.
People in Hunan are very friendly when reading Grandma Yang's books. Plain and simple words, pure and touching emotions, even if the reality is miserable and bitter, I still have a warm heart and embrace everything I experience.
The story is simple but deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the writing style is simple and delicate.
I was moved by the love between mother and daughter and brother and sister that the author eloquently described. Life is so difficult, but feelings are so sincere and simple...
Very beautiful, Baiwei life
Great book
The writing style is very contemporary [sending my heart][sending my heart][sending my heart]
The writing is very good, with real feelings and literary talent. I hope the author will get better and better.
Real and objective, the plot and story are true. It writes emotionally and vividly about the stage difficulties of each girl. Extremely sad. It tells about the masculine characteristics of the era, which are dominated by men. Women are humble
It makes me cry. The author's writing is so delicate that people can't help but keep reading. I feel so sad when I read the end. People's lives are like this. No matter how good or bad they live, they will eventually die. Only the living people will miss them forever.
