Red Cherries, Green Plantains

I cried every time I watched the ending, missing last summer.

It took me three days to finish the novel, and I felt a bit empty at the end. In these three days, I experienced the childhood of Gu Yisusu, a tiger child in parallel time and space, to getting married and having children. The author's writing is smooth and the details are vivid. But the later part of the plot is faster, and I felt it was a bit forced to specifically arrange the part where Aomame had difficulty conceiving after her abortion... The heroine's difficulty in giving birth after the abortion seems to be a law in most TV dramas and novels, and it falls into the cliché...

I just finished reading it two days ago. This afternoon my dad came back from outside in great spirits and said he had found something. He took it out to take a look: a Seagull camera.

Aomame felt that her feelings about youth were misplaced. She looked back and saw that youth was so beautiful, just like Rongrong marrying Qingsong. She felt that there was no great happiness, but she was always filled with small happiness. Aomame's growth path could not be said to be smooth and shining, but she could always feel joy. Her love for written stories, cameras, longing for ideals, and yearning for beauty are all important parts of her shining youth. And the people she met along the way were more or less by her side as she wrote her own story. From her marginalized childhood when she was "suffering from the plague" to her brilliant youth, those metaphysically inhumane psychology and all kinds of people and stories from the outside world all accompany her forward like a flowing stream of time. Huzi was her first friend, telling her a lot of stories. Gu Yi came next. He had a crush on Qingdou as early as middle school. The transition from friendship to love was a hurdle in itself. All these factors and their personalities made this relationship destined to be sweet and tumultuous. Although Su Su had a hard life, she inherited Meng Ting's free and easy and spicy character. Fu Anzhou came last and envied their friendship. He didn't want to owe the Fang family and his mother, but he had to. In the end, he lost himself and went to jail but became sober and free. There are also Yangyang brother, Gangzi, Xiaohai, Xiaoxu, Jinjin, several generations of Tianfeng Baiyi... These people are arranged and combined, and there are always various stories on the scale of youth. Using this generation as a thread, the story of the previous generation is also very strong. Qingdou's family affairs - Qingbai who became a monk, Qingsong who was responsible for the family's life, the devil's sister Qingzhi, the tenacious mother Wu Huiping, Gu Yi's parents who pretended to be peaceful, the injured and rebellious sister, the Yu family next door to Qingdou, Susu's biological mother Meng Ting and stepfather Yu Yulin, step-sister Yu Tingting, Fu Anzhou's mother An Qingci and his Fang family who felt he was shorter... These are the stories of the people around him that sound complicated but exist silently in reality. In fact, everyone's own stories and memories are not surprising, but the stories of so many people in a certain area at the same time and under the tide of the times constitute the so-called memory of a generation. Aomame is a starting point in Xiao Nancheng's story. It's really wonderful to arrange that she likes words and cameras. These are ways to preserve memories. Memories will fade if you don't chew them. Leaving them on a flat surface seems to be an effort to recall the past. These people are vivid and lively, with both the rough and discordant life of daily necessities and the unique romance of romance. Xiao Jin also intentionally incorporated the feelings of the seasons into the story to provide a background for a certain stage of their lives, which is also closely connected with the customs of Xiao Nancheng. The Dongmen Bridge, the High School Affiliated to the Normal University, the video hall, the gradually improving roads, the gradually rising high-rise buildings, the changes and changes in the urban landscape deepened their nostalgia and tender feelings for their hometown. Readers can also feel the great changes in China in the 1980s and 1990s from the text. In the past, it was the traces left by the return of educated youth to the city. Later, it was the price merger, the prosperity of bankrupts, the abolition of distribution, the rise of commercial housing, the Southern Speed, and other things that are still fresh in the memory of generations. These are the great waves in Aomame and their lives, but Xiao Jin does not rewrite them like a history book. She is still writing about the people in the environment. The story of Aomame and the others is particularly touching.

It feels like I spent some time with the characters in the story, warm, cozy, and a little bit sad. Thank you Jin Meili, promise me to continue writing, we are all waiting for you...

Good looking! (So ​​will there still be a 2013 extra in the copy?

I finally believe that the heroine does not occupy the largest share of the length of this article. To be honest, this is the first time I've read a romance novel where the heroine doesn't appear at the end.
