The Great River Flows East

The TV series has been released to commemorate the 40th anniversary of reform and opening up. It has a plot and characters. It's great to watch!

Anai's stuff is actually quite thematic, sticking to the spirit of the document above. "River Goes East" can be summed up in one word: development is the last word - Song Yunhui and others choose to endure distortion for the sake of development, Lei Hu and others run rampant everywhere for the sake of development, and Yang Xun and others respect the meaningless rules and dignity for development. It is a vivid sketch of the powerful people who are at the forefront of the current economic development and rapid economic expansion. As someone once said: No matter whether the cat is black or white, any cat that can catch mice is a good cat. Currently, Dajiang is still at the stage where black and white cats are both good cats. As for further development, perhaps, if we go a step further, we will start to reflect on the cost of development, and the fact that although black and white cats catch mice, they accidentally contract the plague... And other reflections. As far as personal preference is concerned, I look forward to reflection. As far as the depth of the work is concerned, it also needs to go deeper into one more level before it can reach another level. If we talk about it in detail, this kind of reflection has always been revealed, but it is not so overwhelming, and readers with less experience may ignore it. For example, Xiao Song's growth experience, from the youthful spirit in the Jinzhou workshop to the scheming later on. It clearly outlines the violations and distortions he had to make. After Lei Hu entered a prison, he learned to use the weaknesses of human nature to control his subordinates. In the case of Yang Xun's cooperation with Xiao Liang, the author used someone's mouth to expose his potential selfishness. Yes, a novel must first have a good-looking story and vivid characters, and then, behind the good-looking story, there must be something that makes people contemplate. Everyone sees and feels it differently, which is what makes a good novel. The theme comes first, nothing else. The hidden points of the theme are revealed a little, and that is the author's brushstrokes. You can't always keep reminding yourself and shouting with a loudspeaker: Look clearly, look clearly, I have a purpose here~~~~ That is a stupid thing that can only be done by an unqualified and unconfident author. From a writing perspective, a subject like "The River Goes East" is like a mountain with no path to climb for a novice like me. Without such experience, tolerance, mind, and personal experience, it would be impossible to write it so deeply. Not being able to write well and talking nonsense with my hands on my hips is something I feel quite ashamed of. That's not nonsense, it's just a discussion between friends. Speak out my confusion. Yes, I've been confused. From the first time I watched it, I was worried, to later, I was shocked and speechless. Later, he followed without stopping. Many times I want to write something, but I don't know where to start. Let's just start with confusion. I've been asking myself: Why? Looking at it all the way, I was amazed and speechless. At the same time, I still felt that I still had more to say? Am I too harsh, or have I always received mainstream education and been brainwashed too much? Therefore, when I read any work that I think is good, I can't help but use the four words "Words to convey the truth" to evaluate it? Didn't I give Dajiang a relatively fair standard of measurement? Because I thought highly of it, I couldn't help but measure it with a higher standard. The final conclusion I came to was: it's very good, but it's still a little bit worse. I'm thinking: Why do I feel that it's still so bad? After thinking about it for a long time, I never thought of Chou Yin Mao. I think the very important reason is that Dajiang has not been written yet, and its soul is still being brewed. Its spiritual core is still confused even by the author, waiting to be discovered and sublimated. People who write things know that when you write, you may not know what the characters you write will say or do, nor may you know the true ending of the entire work. Just like being possessed by a spirit, he went in that direction by accident. What finally came out was a scene and charm that even I had not expected. Then, the charm of Da Jiangdong is already vaguely visible, but it has not yet been fully formed. Because the turning stage of the entire work has not yet appeared, so although the overall style has been established, the soul stroke has not yet come out. Maybe because of this, I feel like I still have more to say. "The Meat Eaters", "No Rebirth", and "Troubled Water Manor" were already finished when I saw them, so I didn't experience this kind of confusion. (As an aside, "Troubled Water Manor" is also a novel that confuses me. Its upward ending has always made me feel that it weakens the power of the entire novel. It is not that the male protagonist and the female protagonist cannot get married, but at the end, the knot... Well, I am off topic again. I will discuss it in another article) This is probably my problem with reading articles. I always try to pick up the theme and soul. Therefore, writing is different from reading. Writing is from the inside out, building brick by brick from the parts to the whole. Only when you have a mind, knowledge and vision can you build a great building. Those who watch only see the completed appearance, and those who appreciate the taste do not know the excitement and complexity of the construction process, so they make random comments. A person with a little bit of taste can respect the talents and skills of the reconstructor, but he still can't help but point fingers and comment on the overall style and style. Over time, you will develop the habit of looking from the outside in. When it's my turn to write, I'm sure it will be a mess. Two completely different ways of thinking. Therefore, those who want to write articles for fun should not comment on them. Lest you develop a habit and change it, it will be difficult. Although it is not impossible to change. ----Off topic again, mainly because I am too emotional. Continuing with the previous topic, as I said before, it may be because Dajiang has not been completed, so I always feel that it is still a semi-finished product. Once Dajiang is completed, I think the soul of the work that is not very clear yet will be highlighted. So, looking back, is it possible that when the work is completed, this part is still not really highlighted? Of course, Dajiang will not be without powerful themes and souls. For example, the long history of Chinese people from all walks of life participating in industry, for example, the restraint and release of people by mechanisms, for example, the strong vitality of seemingly weak and peaceful Chinese people... Etc., I just said casually without careful consideration. I just want to say that Dajiang does not lack rich connotations and richer sociological significance. It has never been lacking. Dajiang has these, which is enough to stand out from many novels. But is it enough? Not enough! So why isn't it enough? This is what I have been talking about over and over again, but I haven't come up with anything. My little knowledge may be because the author's eyes have always been on a specific group. In the eyes of us ordinary people, it is a group of strong people who are at the forefront of the storm and dominate. The author is most familiar with this group of people and has a heart for their joys and sorrows. From her writing, she expresses seven parts appreciation, two parts sympathy and one part criticism for this group of people. The material possessed by the author is her most valuable asset, thus providing her with a unique perspective of observation and subject matter. There has been a lack of more mainstream attention and outline for such a turbulent era and the people who are moving forward bravely. At this time, the emergence of Dajiangdongwen and a series of previous works can be said to have filled a gap. There are already character archetypes with strong survivability, and there are many of them, such as "Alive". Our country is always busy trying to survive. But there are not many character archetypes with strong development motivation. Especially in the current context, this is why I admire the character Yang Xun more. He is more representative. He has struggled through life, not only getting rid of material poverty, but also not getting rid of spiritual poverty. This long-term state of hunger will show signs of it all the time (just like domestic movies). In comparison, Xiao Song and Lao Lei are more niche. From this perspective, the mainstream media and mainstream commentaries have not paid enough attention to Anai and Anai's likes (perhaps because I am ignorant, I have not seen similar things, but there are vaguely similar things in business books and financial magazines, but those things are more in the style of advocating wealth and legendary tabloids, obviously, they are not on the same level.), And they have always lacked sensitivity. This is a very strange and fatal thing. Regardless of its literary value, from a sociological perspective, this is a research example that should not be missed. But at the same time, the materials she possesses and the people she focuses on also impose certain restrictions on her writing. From the writing, we can see that the author's interests and preferences are that she has always paid attention to people who are aggressive, even if their aggressiveness is irregular and breaks the rules (and she even has a tendency to appreciate such breakthroughs). Therefore, in a series of her novels, in general, the author portrays personal heroes (similar to the preferences of Hollywood blockbusters), especially for Oe: the breakthrough of the individual against the body, and the suppression of the individual by the system, form the root cause of all conflicts. In the text, the author repeatedly expresses his praise for personal heroes and his praise for individuals breaking through the constraints of the system. What's even more rare is that she also wrote about the harm this kind of conflict has had on her personal life (that character is somewhat similar to the word "can", I can't write it, I'm illiterate). It's just that this kind of ink only stops at the point of comparison, making it easier for readers to draw conclusions about personal characteristics. ----This may be an aspect that I feel is still unsatisfied. When the author was writing, she had a keen intuition that led her to touch on these levels, but because of unconsciousness, she lightly let go of these parts that should be slightly emphasized. I don't know if it's intentional or subconscious. I think there may be more unconscious elements. In addition, although there are relatively few descriptions of the group of people she describes in this specific era, in the 1990s, there was a series of novels describing merchants in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In fact, they used ancient people to express their feelings and wrote about the national mentality when business development took off in the 1990s. Therefore, if the author wants to be superior to others, just focusing on this specific group always seems slightly insufficient. As we all know, this group of strongmen constitutes a minority in real life. So, as a legendary description, it cannot be overstated. As for a work with such a large structure and heavy load as "The River Goes East", only looking at the growth experiences of state-owned enterprises, collectives, private enterprises, and managers without paying attention to people outside the management will obviously weaken the value of this novel. This is also the reason why I still think that so far the sociological significance of "The River Goes East" is more than the humanistic significance. Of course, writing in depth about the conflict between this group, individuals and the system; and expanding the level of focus of the work are two different writing directions. I don't think these two approaches are compatible. Usually the result of too much intention is often insufficient power. Therefore, I personally believe that under the current situation, writing about the conflict between individuals and the system in depth is a direction that should be grasped and is easier to grasp. I have always been reluctant to point fingers at others before they have finished writing, for fear of affecting the author's creative mood. However, after seeing the scene where Yang Xun knelt down yesterday, I felt relieved. On second thought, overestimating one's own influence is also quite shameless. Then just write, write blindly, friends. I won't be angry after all. I finished writing it in a daze, it seems to have been quite a long paragraph. No matter, send it up.

I have read several of the author's books, and they are all very interesting. He is very good at writing, the plot is also very reasonable, the description of emotions is very good, but not too much, and the amount of information in the article is also very large. I love the author! Will support to the end

Song Yunhui said to Liang Sicheng: "I am very proud" Song Yunhui suddenly thought that this was the first time that he showed the deep pride hidden deep in his heart in front of others. This passage made me smile. When were the seeds of pride sown? Maybe it started from taking control of the new factory, maybe it started from running around in the ministry, maybe it started from the time when two chief workers were not as good as one Song worker, maybe it started from college... But I believe more, maybe from a very young age, when walking through other people's insults and stones, the seeds of pride have begun to be sown. Some people say that pride and inferiority are twin brothers, and some people say that they are two different concepts, but I feel that the two are like night and day, alternating with each other and continuing the passage of time; pride and inferiority, like the spine and spinal cord, support the spiritual framework and give people the courage and reason to continue to live. Just as Li Ka-shing once said, when he was an apprentice, he felt that he was different from others, because when others were having fun, he still memorized English words and studied, which is the same reason; Song grew up in a black-type family, with the disdain of children and adults, he could only study seriously and study hard to motivate himself, encourage himself, and let his inferiority turn into motivation in another direction, allowing himself to lead on the other road. People say that life is fair to people, and you can see where your time is spent. This is really good. Song Yunhui was admitted to college and got good grades. He did not relax after working. His progress has almost become inertia. The concept of leading has been deeply rooted in his soul and has become a part of his life. When love conflicted with it, at first, he chose love, which of course meant choosing Liu Qiming. What attracted him to Liu Qiming, apart from the similarity in her voice to Xiaoping, I think the most important thing was her pride. In Jinzhou, she is equivalent to a scholarly family, which is different from the girls from other families who are in high positions but do not actually have very high taste. This is a continuation of the thought from thousands of years ago that "everything is inferior, only reading is high", and it is also Song Yunhui's persistence after changing his destiny from the book; of course, she has the right to be proud, even today, female literati are still noble. Therefore, when Liu Qiming ran out of Yu's dormitory, he would say "good job". In his heart, such a girl with backbone and scholarly influence can stand shoulder to shoulder with him and be close to his soul. If Liu Qiming chooses him from now on, I believe he will be very happy, but whether the princess and the prince can live a happy life, maybe in fairy tales. But Liu Qiming didn't choose him, she chose love, and despite her flaws, she still chose her love. Liu Qiming gave up her pride, and Song Yunhui had to give up his love. It was not so much that he chose his pride, but that he had to choose maybe this one thing, which was not under his control. It was a fact that no matter how smart his brain was, he could not change it. Another reason he had to give up was that even if Liu Qiming separated from Yu later, the feeling of being unable to reconcile his feelings was even more painful for the proud man. He chose Cheng Kaiyan. Cheng Kaiyan was in Jinzhou, and his father was one of the few factory directors. Considering that Secretary Shui had no daughter, among the daughters to be married in Jinzhou, in the power environment at that time, if she was ranked second, I think no girl would dare to compete for the first place. Such a girl also fully reflects her pride. Her pride is different from Liu Qiming's and Song Yunhui's. She is not superior, nor is she abnormally smart. She doesn't like it just because she doesn't like it. Her love has no impurities. This stems from her character and her simplicity. Yes, she is a too simple girl, so simple that she is stupid. She has not inherited any of her father's scheming and exquisiteness. She has no influence of scholarly ink, no narcissism and no reserve. Watching her pursue Song Yunhui, for the first time, Song Yunhui feels like he is being calculated. Afterwards, "Looking at Cheng Kaiyan, she saw a proud face at the bride. When Cheng Kaiyan saw Song Yunhui looking over, she quickly put away her smile and coughed in embarrassment, her face flushed. Song Yunhui didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What kind of thing was given to him by his colleagues? This little girl hasn't even grown up yet." The proud little grimace, this sentence really vividly portrays the appearance of a clever little girl (a compliment here, Nai's writing style is really vivid), Song Yunhui lamented that she has not grown up yet. Yes, I haven't grown up yet. Kaiyan, who is under the wings of her family, has no scheming. She got into Song Yunhui's car with a little cleverness and was so proud. Even looking back now, I can't help but feel sad. There are times like that. It is such a happy thing to be with the person you like. I use all my efforts to create opportunities. When I have the opportunity, I don't know what to say. In the end, I can only say some things that everyone says. Of course, what you say is no longer important. Seeing Song Yunhui coming back with a face of joy, ahem, he didn't even know how to hide it. At that time, he knew how to hide it, and he couldn't wait to announce his happiness to the whole world. However, at this time, Song Yunhui, after experiencing love and pride, his inferiority raised his pride even higher, and love made his heart harder. He chose to take advantage of it without hesitation, pitiful Kaiyan. Although Song and Cheng got married later, as soon as possible, Song kept saying that it was his choice. Although Song told Cheng that she was a very, very important person in his life, as important as his sister, I couldn't help but sigh. Kaiyan is a pure land, one of thousands of girls who grew up under the love of their parents, and is a treasure held in the hands of her family like a princess, but for her love, she Low to the dust, and low to the dust so naturally, haha, under the gravity of love, even the brain did not pass through it, so she pounced on it, but what she got was hurt. This hurt did not make her feel any resentment, it just made her look like a child whose hand was pricked by a rose, watching from a distance, not daring to come closer at will, but there was no hatred, she still loved, humblely loving from a distance. As for why Song Yunhui chose Cheng Kaiyan, my point of view is that it is still his pride. For a girl that his rival has been chasing but cannot catch up with, quietly and hopelessly loves him, this feeling, I believe many men, and even many women will enjoy this feeling. He chose his pride. Ah, pride, I can't help but want to laugh. The pride supported by achievements has really made Song Yunhui taller, so tall that in front of him, there is no one he needs to look up to. Moreover, he is not blindly proud, his pride includes his flexibility, which is also part of his pride. From the beginning, he opposed his sister's marriage and thought Dongbao was a coward. A big-style character, and now I feel emotional about an outstanding person like Lei Dongbao. Being capable, understanding technology, and getting started quickly requires a smart brain; being smooth and flexible requires smart people. With the support of cleverness and wisdom, coupled with the seasoning of knowledge, there are few people who do not think they are smart, and deep down, there is no one who is not proud. That is the so-called stubbornness of intellectuals and the nobility of literati. Just like what Tou Tianzhong sang: "I am born with insight, and I can meet people from all walks of life." I have a smile on my face, because my eyes have already seen your weaknesses and your strengths. I can easily hold you in the palm of my hand. I can easily control the overall situation. Among all living beings, who can compete with you? And when the earthly wind blows and the earth is covered with flowers and green grass, nature prepares rain, dew and sunshine for every humble life; but when science and money gradually blind the eyes of the soul, can we, the noble ones, see that one flower is the world, and one tree is the Bodhi? It is said that among authors who write about time travel, men like to go back and change history, while women like to go back and fall in love. A noble and proud person like Song Yunhui will persist in choosing his career, no matter how difficult the future is; a noble and proud person like Liu Qiming will choose her love, no matter whether the relationship is good or evil; and today, people like me will proudly reject men we don't like. When we are born, we will proudly give up on boys who don't love us; we refuse to be wives who don't love each other, and we also refuse to be lovers who love each other. We walk in the world with nobility, pursuing another kind of perfection, "Let the years peel off the red clothes, but we are helplessly scarred" (Feitian lyrics). "There are so many good shows for me to perform, but I have no choice in my life." (Sui Tian lyrics), but I have no choice in my life, but who can choose and who has the right to choose? More often than not, it is easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down. There are twists and turns, but there is no way back.

Jinjiang used to be really cool, but today I discovered that the original works such as Battle of Changsha and Ode to Joy are all in Jinjiang.

Xiao Yang discovered Xiao Song's thoughts

The interaction between Yang Xun and Liang Sishen always makes me wonder: Is this how Pan Shiqi and Zhang Xin interact? Song's treatment of the Cheng family and Cheng Kaiyan's refusal to give him a chance was indeed felt to be quite ruthless, with a sense of being punished without teaching. But think back, does Cheng Maomao have any material that can be taught? Smart people, such as Yang Xun, face no matter how bad the situation is, they will actively create conditions for themselves and reverse the adverse trend, instead of asking others to give him a chance. Even if he really reaches a point where there is nothing he can do no matter how hard he works, he can give up well (see the part about him giving up a four-star hotel). And sometimes, don't believe it, if you have good intentions and be kinder, you will actually get good rewards. So Yang, there is a future! On the other hand, Cheng Mao Mao, yes, she is not a bad person, but how many people are there in the world who look absolutely hateful and speak absolutely tasteless words?

After the modification, Xiao Liang put vitamins and American ginseng tablets (she said she cut them herself) in her schoolbag for Mr. Song, making Mr. Song look so beautiful...

This Song Zhen is very calculating, and so is his own relationship. He just wants to find something convenient.

Yang Xun's heart felt sad for a moment. Liang Sishen was lying on top of him just now. How come people didn't think of his relationship with Liang Sishen, but only thought of the relationship between Liang Sishen and Song Yunhui. Yang is quite cute sometimes Dr. Tao is really good, but it's a pity that he is a supporting role
