The last time I watched it was many years ago, and this time I came back to watch it and there is a new episode. So happy
What! It's 2023, and I saw a new episode of Old Shanghai Dawn
It's so well written. The comment section written n years ago also brought me a good reading experience.
I read this article on the eve of Qingming Festival in 2018 and said that this is an excellent Danmei work. It is partial and complete, and the love is represented by flowers, which has a unique charm. It is also a lingering song in the messy dust. Everyone is not perfect, and I would like to thank the author for mediating between the actual background and everyone's wishes to come up with a reasonable and beautiful ending. This is a literary work, and I like this novel very much. The flowers on the curtain that are blown up and down by the wind in the hidden night are the embrace of lovers, the loyalty of faith, and the perseverance in the wavering world.
I have been obsessed with life and never dreamed of going to Huizhou. I guess these two sentences are also applicable to the people in this story. In such a chaotic and broken era in Shanghai, "a girl watching the fire from the other side" still retains some of the remaining beauty and cruel dullness, an innocent girl. I like the rhythm of the story very much. In the midst of shouting and hesitation, there is no decisiveness or rush to death. Just like the melody of Wu Yu, it flows quietly with thin sadness and passion. The author's language style is very mature. The gardenias that are blooming, the crowded Shikumen, the lonely prostitutes on the streets of western Shanghai, and the man who is good at calculation but cannot avoid misfortune, restore the unique Shanghai. Emotions carry some uneven undercurrents in this chaotic, turbid, and turbulent sea. At first glance, the relationship between the Liu brothers seems to have arisen out of confusion and infatuation, like weeds that should not grow without knowing their roots, sometimes mixed with hidden feelings, deception, possession, dominance, betrayal, and accommodation, which are hard to explain. These entangled and complicated emotions were buried in the dark shadows and never disappeared, but the two people quietly picked newspapers for each other, keeping the ones he liked and hiding the ones he wanted to hide from him. These small details are enough to glimpse a lush and tall tree. Love is not about revealing one's heart and letting others slaughter it, but about those inconspicuous little touches of tenderness. The existence of women in the work has caused some controversy, and the bond of marriage has never been loosened in everyone. Those love words that are like words disappear in front of this heavy shackles. In fact, the women in the work are very touching. Chen Yanyi, who is as green as blood, gentle and pure Ziyuan, Meijuan who is ignorant and has just bloomed, even the movie star Lili who flies into the flame, and the rebellious and infatuated Lin Ruomei, they all have their own lives and independent personalities. Shanghai is also famous for its beautiful and fragile flowers. The most difficult character to ignore is Kenichi Ito, that unusually tall and handsome Japanese, with cold and arrogant eyes like a wild wolf, who swears allegiance to the country and the army. For such a person, his sister Liu Chenxi has become his only reservation. His feelings for these two people in his heart are "heavy and tactful to the point of being indescribable." However, very few words make this supporting role full and brilliant. "Mandarin ducks perched on thorns" is probably the most appropriate summary of this novel. The description is gorgeous but not obscene, the tone is sad but not sad. Among the thorns, there are also birds that are happy because of their love. "The sound of little people playing in the distance is heard, but it is quiet under the oleander. The white flowers are clustered together. From early summer to late autumn, there is no prosperity or decadence, and they always reveal their fragrance gently with the breeze. It is a fragrance that cannot be expressed in words. In a corner that outsiders cannot see, it floats quietly into the indescribable affection. It is entangled with feelings. Under the shadow of the tree without seeing the light, it is rare warm and rare calm." At that time, the most boring but most anticipated thing every day was probably the unfamiliar and dazzling morning sun that looked like blood on the beach in Shanghai day after day. Because it was too late when I saw this article, I am a little regretful that I could not collect the physical book. I really like it! ! I really want to see the extra from Ito's perspective! I hope you can write more beautiful and elegant works
When I first read it, I was still wondering why it was called "Old Shanghai Morning Sun". It seemed to be no different from any novel of the Republic of China. After reading it, I discovered that there were five people in it, a Shanghai businessman who was selfish on the surface but secretly transported cultural relics; a soldier who was affiliated with the Shanghai Police Department and finally chose to join the army to fight against Japan; and the protagonist of this book, a doctor, who became a traitor in order to protect cultural relics and his country and was almost shot. There is another person, no, or a group of people, ordinary people living in Shanghai. It is difficult to survive amid the overpriced rice and noodles, internal strife and the constant struggle between Westerners and Easterners, but as the protagonist said, 'When you are tired to a certain point, you will definitely become high-spirited again'. In fact, this book is not as high-spirited as the author described it, or rather it is mostly romance. But I am very grateful that as an online novel, the author is willing to choose such an unpopular subject and is able to portray simple characters in history in such an unforgettable way. Nowadays, there are very few novel writers writing about this kind of subject matter, and there are really very few people who are willing to calm down and feel it. This is not a red education that you are forced to listen to, nor is it a knowledge point that you are forced to recite in a textbook, or make a bold guess, nor is it a background story that is deliberately inserted to satisfy certain settings, because the article is very well-written and realistic, without a strong sense of deliberateness. It's as if this is a truly flesh-and-blood memory of a person from an era. Many people commented on this book, saying that it is disgusting that cheating and sexual relations can be written so naturally in an emotional sense. The author actually believes that this is the most authentic portrayal of the characters of that era. The ethics of the feudal extended family and the repeated inner struggles of the same-sex group. Which one should you choose between family harmony, freedom of love, living a modest life, and national sentiments? Perhaps the wind of history will really take away the memory of suffering, and only those who have truly experienced it will feel the pain. Limited by the subject matter, audience and readers, this short film makes readers a little confused, but at least this article makes me feel the long-lost literati integrity and enthusiasm.
When I see St. John's University, I am half a senior hh (top touch porcelain)
I read it in one sitting, and I just want to say one last thing. I didn't read this article until seven years later. Fortunately I didn't miss it! I have been writing for three years, and the current Danmei articles make me feel very impetuous. There are very few articles that I can calm down and read. I personally don't know much about writing techniques and writing styles. I just feel that the whole process is like watching a movie full of the sense of the times. I just can't stop! ! Thank you to the author for writing such a good article! !
Great. It would be great if I could continue writing.
I entered Fuwan and didn't catch up with anything. I didn't catch up with the serialization. I didn't catch up with my ambition. I didn't catch up with the self-printing. It feels like passing by. I'm very happy to see such excellent Danmei works. Thank you.
