I read this novel once when it was serialized, and many, many years later, I read it again. After reading the last sentence, I went back and took another look at the name "Time". It was so good. When I let go of my judgment and read the lives of these girls in the book, I finally felt that it was really good. Whether it is Wang Yutong or Qi Yin, whether it is Chu Jing or Nicole, they all lost something in time, and then gained something. They fell down, got up, stumbled and walked their lives towards a different future, and it was all good. I remember that K Sang posted a Weibo post. When there was a lot of controversy, she explained that the author wanted to write a story about the changes that time has on a person. When I was only in my early twenties, I thought I understood this sentence, but now I have a new understanding of it. I dare not say that I have a deeper understanding, because in the long river of time, I am too small, and my opinions are also so small. I know that life is like a wilderness, and life is so wilderness. Regardless of whether I admit it or not, I did not like Qi Yin when I grew up many years ago. Even if I disguise myself with sympathy, even if I say "what a pity", I can't hide the fact that I don't like her that much. Now think about it, is there actually some dissatisfaction with myself in my dislike back then? I saw myself in many characters. In Xiao Tong, I saw my youthful enthusiasm, my sincerity and recklessness in thinking I could bear everything. In Qi Yin, I saw my own selfishness and dependence that grew up in difficult situations, and my own mediocrity and shortsightedness. I used to be so ignorant and arrogant when I judged them from the perspective of so-called love. Ignorance made me fearless and made me unable to see everyone's hardships and limitations. Arrogance made me arrogantly think that I had God-like power to judge everyone's shrinkage and weakness. I apologize to Xiaotong and Qi Yin for this. In Chapter 119, you have gone through thousands of sailings. You have all paid for your own growth and countless fork-in-the-road choices. You all have a new starting point. I have no right to judge anyone. For a while, I wondered if the author didn't love Qi Yin very much, why did he give her such a life, or did he prefer children, so that she seemed to have everything and be complete. Later, I felt that the author invested equal love in each character. She almost watched Qi Yin's growth with a mother-like gaze, including blame, sigh, and unquestionable love. Qi Yin, the cause, all karma is born from her, all experiences originate from her. Qi Yin has her own "Tao". When she can't figure it out, she will definitely fall down a lot. Fortunately, she finally solved it when she reaches middle age. I don't think this is the generosity of the child to her, because of this tenderness , was the good karma planted by Qi Yin in her teenage years, a gift that she sincerely gave to herself in her thirties, and was a gift she gave to herself in her thirties. The help Qi Yin later received was one of the few clean and pure gifts given to her by fate, and she was ultimately saved by her younger self. Xiaotong has Xiaotong's own growth. She has her own weakness and bravery, her own brilliance and persistence. She is very good. Many people like her, and I also like her, so I won't go into details. Just watching it again, I feel that I was ignorant before, and I thought it was good before, but I don't know what is good about it. I always feel that countless pens are talking about love. Now I feel that there is a world beyond love. In time, love is not the only thing that makes people moved. The author writes really well.
I just finished reading it, and my heart felt like it was being kneaded into a ball. Many realistic descriptions made me feel that they really exist... Write some of my own sighs. Life in Beijing has long opened up the child's heart, but Qi Yin will always live with the child. The moment Xiaotong left Sunlight City, they went to different worlds. Xiaotong continued to move forward, but Qi Yin could only stay where he was. More people entered the child's life, but Qi Yin endured everything that should not be endured at this age day after day. The child's love dissipated in Beijing. She had relatives and friends and lived a worry-free life. From the beginning to the end, Qi Yin was the only one relying on her love for the child to support her through every minute and every second. Later, Xiaotong took Qi Yin to Beijing. Personally, I felt that it was not love, but just obsession. What she was obsessed with was Qi Yin, who was self-respecting, firm and kind, and who took care of her in every possible way. The child also thought he was still in love, but in the end it turned into responsibility and sympathy. Children don't understand Qi Yin's living habits. Qi Yin sometimes does bad things with good intentions. In my opinion, it's not who did something wrong. It's just that they have been in two worlds for a long time. Everything goes smoothly for the child in Beijing and has a bright future. Qi Yin lives a tight life in a dark and dark small town. Life makes her become a person that a child cannot understand, a Qi Yin that is different from the one she remembers. The child also realized that he had not loved Qi Yin for a long time. Qi Yin was incompatible with everything here. Soon Qi Yin went back. She still loved him, but she knew that she had become a burden to the child, so she left without hesitation and went back to face her miserable life. The half year in Beijing was like a dream. Although it was not pleasant in the end, it supported Qi Yin through countless years after that. The child soon had a new life and everything was on track. She had a new lover. Qi Yin relied on Lin Jun to support her life. She had no desire for anything and eventually married Lin Jun after becoming pregnant. The child became her new emotional sustenance. For the sake of her children, she regained those good wishes, hoping that her children could be normal children like others and not be wasted like her own life. So she used her past feelings to beg Xiaotong to help her. At this moment, she really let go of everything in the past, whether it was love or means. The girl who could take anyone's money but couldn't take money from Xiaotong's family completely disappeared. She really let Xiaotong go and gave up loving her. She only hoped that her daughter could grow up safe, healthy and happy. The child's last feelings for the fifteen or sixteen-year-old Qi Yin finally disappeared. The person in front of her was no longer Qi Yin. She helped Qi Yin just like she would any friend. Their lives are back on track. Twenty years of love and hatred have disappeared into time together with young Qi Yin. I feel really uncomfortable. Times, fate and circumstances push people away. Reminds me of a song: "Sorrowful" by Lin Youjia, with lyrics: The endless alley turns out to be only that long The endless playground, it turns out that Xiao Cheng is like this The hand of time changes everything What was taken from me Close your eyes and watch the sunset at the age of sixteen, as beautiful as us Singing while walking, innocent, romantic and brave, thinking that I can go far away We were in love and it makes me sad to think about it The crowds hit the shore in waves of joy The old place at the school gate is where I wait for the embankment Hold your hand and walk slowly in the crowd We have the whole universe in our hands Close your eyes and watch the last sunset Beautiful as a pity Brilliant and sad, youth is in chaos We were separated carelessly I love you so much but I don't know what to do to make love strong and unbreakable Why is life not allowed to wait for others to grow before it can correct the past? I once had you, it makes me sad
To you from afar Zhan Xinjia, Miss Qi I am taking the liberty to write this letter, just to relieve my depression. I hope you live a smooth life and remain kind. At the beginning of the story, I met a girl and I liked that girl very much. She was strong, responsible, hard-working, smart, young, beautiful, proud, progressive, diligent, and did not complain. To be honest, I admired her very much. Maybe later the torrent of reality made me change my mind, but it is undeniable that such a girl would amaze me. I'm sorry for my recklessness in commenting on you. If you feel uncomfortable, please let me know. But unfortunately, the girl's childhood was full of quarrels, insults, beatings, disgust, disgust and some love. Later, the girl had to take care of her mother who didn't like her, endured domestic violence and had sex. The girl was older, her father passed away, and she was accompanied by high medical expenses. She should have been a disgusting mother, but the girl still insisted on taking care of her. There was still hope in the girl's eyes, and the girl was still making progress. The girl said, "She knew what she needed. She knew where the hope was. She also understood that no one would give it to her tomorrow. She could only stretch out her hand and hold it tightly." At that time, I didn't understand what the hope was in the girl's eyes, and I didn't understand the reason why the girl cared for her wholeheartedly and hoped that her mother would get better. Because I will be jealous of evil, have no conscience, and look down on others. Later, there were also speculations, but they were all from God's perspective, and they were only speculations. Maybe the girl regards her mother as her last relative, the last person she has a relationship with, and her life has become better. Maybe girls will always fight for the last straw. Maybe the hope in the girl's eyes is that she will become better, it is light. But I have no way of knowing From a certain moment on, the girl was broken in the eyes of everyone. Many people liked her for being young, beautiful and intelligent, and wanted to provide help while raising reasonable greed. At that time, there was only one person, and his eyes were pure and without complicated thoughts, so this person was different from others. Although this person was clumsy and never knew what the girl really needed, she gave the girl a piece of her clumsiness, so different, so shining, different from the darkness of the world, different from evil. It is undeniable that the girl later owed a lot of people and herself, and many people began to call the girl shameless, taking advantage, and asking for nothing. I also want to scold girls. Girls are good but not completely good people, and bad girls are not completely bad. From then on, the girl was no longer proud and surrendered to reality. She used all the money she cheated to treat her mother's illness. I hate that she was not selfish enough and no longer proud. If she was bad, she would use the money to run away, go to school, and remember her own hopes. She didn't, she was desperate, maybe she was about to go numb. I think the girl has already been dragged down. I'm not just talking about the future, I don't know her thoughts, and she's not just proud. I personally think that the most important turning point was the help of Uncle Song. Uncle Song was one of the few people who provided help and encouraged the girl to study. Many people appreciate the girl's hard work, and some want to possess her. There are only a few people who want her good and herself. But Uncle Song died, and sometimes I felt that fate had played a trick on me. Qi's father had died, and Qi's mother had been dragged down for a lifetime. Then, Uncle Song died. I thought that everything would be promising if Uncle Song was alive, but it was a pity that fate played a trick on me. From then on, the girl's mind was blocked and there was no possibility of progress. The girl's heart gradually became numb as the medical expenses increased and decreased. Some people still want the girl to leave. I think the girl probably feels for the first time that I am dead and that there is no hope for me at a glance. Please go your own way, leave me alone, and don't stop. But she is back again. She is the girl's light, most of the time, and also the straw that makes the girl numb. The girl no longer wants it, and she doesn't want the life that ends in one glance. The girl wants to give it a try. Maybe we should call girls women, for complex reasons. Girls don't fit in with everything, for many reasons. Separated, cheated on, married. The most disappointing time for me in a girl is not when she still insists on her own opinion after being cheated, but when she compromises for the last time and commits herself to a man. It was taken in. It was what she thought was the last straw, but she grabbed it, and I was heartbroken. A woman's thinking has undergone tremendous changes. She thinks poverty is the root of everything. What I want to tell girls is that cars and horses travel too fast, and messages travel quickly. It is normal to have many people you like in your life. Love is not that great, love is very common. Some people should have stopped loving you a long time ago, so just let it go. We have already infected reality, and almost no one is immune to it. Was the person you love still young? The girl's frugality was incompatible with her lover. I think it is not the girl's fault that she is poor. She has never been rich from the beginning in her life, but being poor is the biggest mistake in life. It would be great if she had money. I know that the girl is very complicated now, but I like her pride, I like that she is still kind, and I like that she doesn't love anyone. I know she is no longer young, but sometimes she is still her. Of course, the above is just my personal feeling. I have given up on girls, but I can't hate girls. I once liked her core.
Every time you pass this stage, you will have a different feeling when you read this article. In the past, I only thought that 71 could stop being a drag on wyt, but looking at it now, I can clearly feel that Xiaotong is arrogant. When she took 71 to Beijing, it was not out of love, but more because she heard that she was not doing well, so she impulsively acted as a savior, otherwise she would not "experience the happiness of the head of the family." In comparison, Lin Jundu is more responsible. Although I can understand her, and I know that migrant workers cannot stand the trouble from their partners when they are working hard for their careers, but wyt may have only loved 71 when he was a child.
I have read a lot of sadistic and yandere novels, but I can say that the experience of this 71 is the worst. In other be stories, at least I was loved, and the experience was not so miserable, but 71 has a collapse ending from the beginning. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to persist, and I might not be able to survive 71, depending on the situation. Why is the angle not 71? If the angle of view is 71, I can only say that it will only look worse, but the perspective is from a child. This article is also the only one I will not read twice. I can only say that the experience was too miserable. In the end, I still hope that someone will redeem 71, but no, the tenderness in the end may be given to my daughter.
After watching it two days ago, I was a little bit confused. Qi Yin was a bit too miserable. It is said that the personality of a teenager has been basically formed, so why does she look completely different when she grows up than when she was a child? Where did the self-esteem and independence of my childhood go when I grow up? Is it possible to simply say that Tongtong was blind when he was a child? Has the author ever encountered the prototype in real life? Is there really such a tragic transformation? The cruelest thing is not that the protagonist dies, but that the protagonist dies in our hearts. Is the character setting really valid?
After reading another sad article, I suddenly wanted to read this one. I read it a few years ago, and my account has been canceled. I subscribed again to read the comments, but I didn't dare to read the novel again. In fact, I didn't finish it the first time. The contrast between luck and misfortune was too tragic, so I skipped it. I couldn't help but cry after reading the last chapter. Qi Yin seemed to become peaceful and happy in the last chapter, but I still felt sad. My classmates are not cheap, and breaking up may be their destined ending, but Qi Yin has so many things that could have made me sad. If we had never been together, it could have been a different life. If the child had not gone back for the first time, Qi Yin could have been less burdened and would not have been left behind by the rapid development of the times. If the child had not sought to get back together, Qi Yin would not have had to bear the pain of losing and regaining, and maybe they would both be happy when they meet again.
After watching it, it felt like a big dream. I really don't know how to turn around in Qi Yin's position and environment. She tried her best to live and work hard within the scope of her own knowledge, but she still lost to the perspective brought by poverty and class. From the moment Tong Baoyin arrived in Beijing, the good memories and love were destined to be wiped away. From a rational point of view, some people and things can only be left at a certain age and stage, but from a perceptual level, such a level of beautiful memories only happened once. Having experienced it with this person, who would not want to experience such a thing with this person again. No one is at fault, but no one can go back
I couldn't find a long comment anywhere, so I'll just say a few words: 1. At the end of the story, both protagonists reconciled with their lives, which is good. 2. Many things are right and wrong, but people are shaped by their environment. Based on different environments, they have worked very hard. 3. The great thing about this work is that readers with different experiences will understand the story differently. For example, the same me vaguely read it a few years ago (at least the first half), and when I read it again a few years later, I want to say something. 4. The plot of the story should be intertwined with the author's growth. For example, the horror of SARS and the difficulty of taking a taxi at Beijing South Railway Station (but did Beijing have stoves in 2000?), Which aroused my desire to gossip about the author O(∩_∩)O 5. The author's writing skills are really strong, and he is worthy of being an author in his thirties that I have seen since I was a student. It would be a pity not to write more works of this depth. Of course, sweet and cool articles and sadistic articles are also very interesting ^_^
The only thought this novel gave me is that you must never become a person like Wang Yutong. He is ignorant of the suffering of the world and is self-righteous and arrogant from beginning to end. The chapters where he doubts whether he should save people are even more classic. "How to save people" and "should you save people" are two different concepts. It is obvious that Wang Yutong and Ma Youran dislike the poor and love the rich. It is this kind of people that Marxism wants to eliminate. Jpg
