Yang Shen died without warning and was caught off guard.
If Yang Shen had not died, he would have lived a happy life
Such a good story, all the tears flowed to the sheep kidneys This little boy with a badass face This boy who got the lottery This boy who is forever fifteen
This author's articles have great stamina, and several of her articles have been reviewed several times.
I read this article a long time ago, and it planted a seed in my heart that has not been poisoned by Internet articles. At that time, a sister was watching the Zhanchun anime released by Jianwang San. I quietly followed the clues and found the novel to read. Unfortunately, I forgot the name. I have been looking for this novel for nearly ten years, and finally found it by chance. She is Bai Yueguang in my heart. My love for Jianghu literature originated from her. Even today, the writing is still excellent, and the protagonist's character is unconventional, making it worth reading again. Nice to meet you again
In the first half, I burst into tears because of the story about Yang Shen and his senior sister, and in the second half, I felt happy about the relationship between Shu Juan and Yichun.
I haven't reacted to Yang Shen's death yet. I always feel that he faked his death. If he can't save it, he suddenly appears one day and calls out, "Senior Sister"
After reading the first chapter and based on the clues later, I always thought that Yang Shen would betray the heroine for the knife, but when I saw Yang Shen passed away, I always thought that he was just injured. Ning Ning is the legendary farmer and snake. It was the heroine who saved her, but she ended up being jealous and harming Yang Shen. It's just that Shu Jun's emotional line is too few, and it's hard to tell that the heroine fell in love with her and the ending was complete.
I finished reading it and it made up for my loneliness and boredom for the past few days. Thank you 14:) It's a superb work (... Am I too arrogant to say this?) But there are a few places that might be better: First of all, Yichun began to face up to her feelings for Yang Shen after Yang Shen kissed her forcefully. Yichun was only 15 years old at this time, so there is nothing wrong with this setting. After several years and several experiences, Yichun discovered that Shu Juan valued, loved and missed her, and finally fell in love with him. This should be the process of emerging from chrysalis and becoming a butterfly, showing Yichun's mental growth... However, the turning point that promotes every major change is through being forced to kiss, being forced to kiss, and being robbed of a kiss. This kind of scene will always keep Yichun in a passive and slow position, and it will not be obvious that the experience and several deadly battles in the past few years have allowed Yichun's state of mind to grow or realize spontaneously. (Not every story's protagonist needs to become more mature and wise, but "Zhanchun" is a story written from a young age. Readers will expect that the protagonist will gradually transform from an immature bean sprout. Since it was written from a young age, it would be a pity not to include this popular paragraph. It is like a pot of delicious soup without pepper.) There is also a metaphor for girls. Fourteen often uses cats. Cats and girls do go well together, but the protagonist Yichun uses a cat, the supporting character Ning Ning uses a cat, and the passerby Zui Xue also uses a cat... This metaphor seems boring. Either, all the supporting characters are as annoying as a cat, except Yichun; or else, Yichun is as attractive as a cat, and none of the others are like it! In this way, the metaphor of the cat is worthwhile: it must be distinguished and set off, and it should not be overused. There are also some clues that should be very precious but are missing in the end. For example: The Yanmen family originally pursued Yichun to the ends of the earth and caused a storm. At the end of the article, Yichun mistakenly rescued the head of the Yan family, and then accidentally injured the three sons of the Yan family. At this point, is Yan Men, who has been troubled for half his life, a favor or enmity towards Yichun? Everyone is waiting to see the good show!! But it ends like this without wind or rain?! Even Yan Yufei, who had a heavy role in the drama, suddenly disappeared. Due to emotion and reason, knowing Shu Juan's life experience, he should be pursued until death, right? The other is Shu Juan's mother, a woman who is full of mystery. She was so beautiful that she abandoned her husband and son and left suddenly... Since there is no arrangement for her death in the novel, even if it is not in the main story, she should come out in the extra story to meet her son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and readers. I am so curious!! Finally, there is the final chapter. Shu Juan's "She is my wife" is an explosive line that is so sweet and shocking, but it makes people feel a little awkward because of the title that does not match the ancient times. If it could be changed to "wife" or "wife", it might be more fitting. After talking about those trivial issues, I can finally recall some of my favorite characters: I admire Shu Chang very much, Shu Juan's father. Although he has never really appeared from the beginning to the end, the two sentences in the article describe..." He can say such words as "Young disciples are old in the world, but they seek happiness in the light of swords and shadows", with a cool expression and bright eyes when saying it. Or he can curl up in the garbage dejectedly, muttering to himself in a smelly way, "Happiness and grudges are always empty, only fame, fortune and money are the truth." When I saw this description, I could clearly remember his movements and expressions of being high-spirited and then dejected the next moment. He has been proud and unrestrained, depressed and incompetent, and has been tolerant even if he has made mistakes. He is powerful yet as accessible as a mortal, and his comfort is vividly alive in my heart, even more real than other characters. My favorite character in "Zhanchun" is Little Pumpkin. He treats his master wholeheartedly, but he is not loyal; he is kind but not upright; he is smart and beautiful, but he recognizes his role as a supporting role and never comes out to steal his master's glory. Apart from these, I think what attracts me most about Little Pumpkin is that no matter it is sunny or windy or raining, he laughs and laughs so much that it makes people think he is heartless and naughty!! The "people and things that will never change" that Yang Shen and we all look forward to in our hearts are the ones who carry out the whole story from beginning to end.
I know Shi Shi because of Zhan Chun. My reading habit is that when I see a book that I like, I will read other works of that author. After Zhanchun, I successively watched Give Me Honey, Three Thousand Crows, A Match Made in Heaven, and Palace of Ecstasy. I haven't watched the others yet, but I already have something to say. When I first read Zhan Chun, I really felt a different kind of soul-stirring feeling, not only for Yichun, but also for the open-mindedness and joy revealed in the ordinary life in the book. It is obviously an ordinary heroine, an ordinary male lead, and a slightly unique but not amazing second male lead, but there is sparkle in the ordinary character creation; it is obviously an ordinary Jianghu story, but there is a yearning meaning and hope behind the story. Ge Yichun is one of the least eye-catching and most eye-catching heroines in so many romances I have ever seen. She is not eye-catching because of her appearance and background. She is an ordinary peasant child, not a beauty, nor smart. She seems to be extremely ordinary, but she is down-to-earth and works so firmly, and she is clear about darkness and calculations. She is insightful but tolerant, she has seen all kinds of darkness and still can be so enthusiastic and kind-hearted as it should be. She has a pure heart but is not stupid. She is not a virgin. She will never be deceived or forced. She insists on freedom and justice so naturally. I seem to have never seen such a thorough and open-minded heart in other heroines. I have always felt that the standard for a good character is that it does not need to be too beautiful, and it must not always be stunningly talented or unparalleled. There must be flaws, but at the same time, there must be shining points. This shining point refers more to the qualities or ethics of human nature that make people love, admire, or admire. Such character creation can be vivid, real, and unique. The first criterion for a good CP is that the heroine should also be likeable and make people feel that she is a perfect match for the male protagonist and bless them. It is not that the male protagonist is extremely beautiful and the heroine has nothing to say. As for the criteria for a good story, in my opinion, even if the love line is stripped away, the plot itself is substantial and connotative, and will not become empty and weak without the love between a man and a woman. Zhan Chun can be considered as satisfying all three of the above. In terms of character design, Yichun is really my favorite. I have already praised the boss for a while, but I won't go into details. Both Yang Shen and Shu Juan have obvious shortcomings and obvious advantages. They adhere to their own principles and character and impress people at a certain point (personally, I feel that Yang Shen may be more full-dimensional and three-dimensional, while Shu Juan is still a little more stereotyped). From a CP point of view, I think it is natural for Yang Shen and Shu Juan to fall in love with Yichun. She is as down-to-earth and tolerant as the earth, and as free and open-minded as the wind. Such Yichun is really worthy of their love for her. In terms of story, Shu Juan's father's story to his generation's reincarnation and rebirth, Yang Shen's hatred and struggle, awakening and death, and the collision of Yichun and Yan Yufei's world outlook and life outlook, all give this story a deeper theme and connotation besides love. After talking about Zhanchun, I want to talk about Three Thousand Crows Killing, Tiancheng Couple and Palace of Ecstasy. When I finished reading 3,000 Crows, I was honestly a little confused: This beautiful heroine who is innately innocent but profound, the leading male lead who is beautiful but betrayed by childhood sweethearts, the charming second male lead who works silently without any regrets, the enemy of country and family who cannot let go, the entanglement of love and hate, who is stuck in the past, who is negative and loses ambition, abuses his body and mind, uses himself to abuse others, the stereotyped and routine story is written by the same author as Zhan Chun? I thought to myself that maybe it was an early work that had matured by the time of Zhanchun, so I came to Jinjiang to take a look at the publication date of the work, and found that Three Thousand Crows was actually written 2 years later than Zhanchun. I couldn't help but write this long review. The Palace of Ecstasy has a similar problem, the innocent but extremely miserable heroine, the beautiful but stereotyped male lead, the equally clichéd and charming second male lead who loves and hates the heroine (there is also a cannon fodder male lead three who is upright and slightly selfish). What are the shortcomings of the characters' personalities? There aren't really any shortcomings. Want to ask about the advantages, shining points, impressive places, and unique places? It seems not. In many romance novels, you can see similar patterns, similar routines, similar characters, and similar stories. The above comments may seem too harsh. In fact, I don't think Three Thousand Crows and The Palace of Ecstasy are that bad. The author has always portrayed the interaction and emotional development of the male and female protagonists very movingly, and I can make them toss and turn while watching it. However, after reading it, the story and the male and female protagonists seem to be lost to the public, with no aftertaste and no thoughts. After excluding the twists and turns of their love, there seems to be nothing left in the story. This seems to be a common problem in many romances. Zhan Chun's characters see light in the ordinary, the story sees truth in the ordinary, and the purpose is insight in the ordinary. In "The Perfect Couple", Xin Mei's persistence in not pitying or mourning herself, always looking forward, never giving up, and perseverance made me see the positive outlook and intention. Good characters and stories always make people see positive things, see hope, persevere in confusion, and persevere in darkness. The final spring blossoms are the fruits they deserve. It is not the entanglement of tragedy that can make people unforgettable or soul-stirring. Those positive and bright stories and characters can always make people feel pleasant and bright, and when they think of them, they feel warm in their hearts, with yearning admiration and joy. After watching Zhanchun, it was difficult for me to read those stereotyped and clichéd romances. When I saw the so-called perfect heroine or hero with stunning talent and beauty, or the love entanglement of the past and the abuse of others and myself that filled the whole story, I felt uninterested and gave up writing. After writing so much, I suddenly don't know what I want to express. Maybe it's because I think Zhanchun is so good, and I hope the author's other works can be as good, but it seems really arrogant to say this, because this is entirely my personal opinion. In short, I sincerely wish the stories of Fourteen and Fourteen better and better.
