A classic of modern Chinese literature, set in Chadong in western Hunan, it tells the story of the innocent love between the girl Cuicui and the two brothers Tianbao and Nuosong. The novel outlines the natural scenery and simple folk customs of western Hunan, Cuicui's innocence, grandfather's kindness, and the brothers' frankness, forming a peaceful and beautiful rural picture. There is no fierce conflict in the story, but the impermanence of fate is hidden in the dullness, and the "waiting" at the ending leaves a long aftertaste. The text is fresh, natural, and full of poetry. It not only shows the regional culture of Western Hunan, but also praises the purity and beauty of human nature. It is the pinnacle of Chinese local literature.
Reader comments
Reading Mr. Shen's articles is particularly comfortable, as if there is always a mist in front of my eyes. After clearing the clouds and mists, we can see the mountains, rivers and people of Xiangxi: the mountains are so smart, always green, with trees and bamboos, insects and birds chirping; the water is so lively and gurgling, and the fish swimming in the water are so comfortable that people can't help but want to jump in; the people are so tranquil, living a simple and peaceful life, as if they have never changed for thousands of years. But every frame of life can evoke readers' distant memories.
Mr. Wang's writing is extremely restrained, just like the mountains hidden behind the clouds and mist. The majesty of the mountains is always there, allowing readers to ponder and think about it. Just like the people nourished by the mountains and rivers, no matter what kind of flames are hidden in their chests, they will eventually be melted away bit by bit by the mountains and rivers.
Cuicui, Sansan, Xiaoxiao, ferry, mill, bamboo poles - these images, all the words read are as plain as water, as plain as a bowl of white water, just drink it down in one gulp without any taste. After reading it - oh, after reading it, it is like ripples on the water surface, which after swaying, return to calmness.
Such words are very healing. In this noisy society, such a paradise no longer exists, but the husband recorded it. After reading this book, every reader will feel a sense of loss, smooth out the wrinkles of life, and let life return to life.
Some Nitri mountain villages with the style of the Republic of China have a strong agricultural flavor and simple customs and customs.
I remember the beginning of the classic very clearly. After it was made into a TV series, I couldn't stop following it. The title of the series is on my lips but I can't think of it.
What the older generation of writers write is very delicate and relevant to life, and when ordinary people speak, they speak in a down-to-earth manner. I have read many of Shen Congwen's books and they are all very good.
