Returning Home on a Snowy Night in the Courtyard Full of Love

True revenge is not to kill someone with your own hands, but to let your enemy live in hell. Lu Jianguo: Thirty years from "knife" to "tree" In 1958, he was a "knife" - cold and sharp, with only hatred in his eyes. In 1965, he began to turn into a "tree" - he stuck a knife in front of Xu Damao's grave and said, "There is no need for it anymore." In 1995, he became an old man sunbathing in the courtyard, smiling happily as he watched the children running around. These thirty-seven years have been a process from "revenge" to "living understanding". As he said himself: "Revenge is not for killing people, but for the living people to live well." Silly Zhu went from being "stupid" to "awakening" - knowing that he had been plotted by Yi Zhonghai for twenty years, knowing that his mother's death was related to Yi Zhonghai, and knowing that his kindness had been exploited all his life. But he did not become the second Lu Jianguo. He chose to forgive and continue to be kind. Qin Huairu is the most complex character in the book. She is both a perpetrator and a victim; she plots against people and is plotted against by life; her crying is true, and her plotting is also true. But Lu Jianguo finally said to her: "Your story has turned upside down." This sentence "turning the page" is the compassion of the whole book. Rhubarb is the warmest image in the book. Its leg was broken by a stick, and Lu Jianguo saved it. From then on, it looked at him with wet eyes and stayed with him for sixteen years. Rhubarb cannot speak, but it uses its existence to tell Lu Jianguo: There is not only hatred in this world, but also things worth protecting.
