Turgenev

Deep in the dark forest, who is secretly stalking the little girl picking mushrooms at dusk? Why did the singing coming from the landlord's house late at night make the coachman outside the window burst into tears? Walking across Russia with a shotgun, what did Turgenev see?

He didn't shout, just watched quietly, and then wrote everything down in this "Hunter's Notebook". Mr. Feng Zikai's translation is so flavorful, it's as if you can hear the sound of pine needles falling to the ground in the Russian forest. Birds have feathers and people have clothes.

Feng Zikai may be the most understanding of life among Chinese literati. He wrote about eating melon seeds, and he was able to write about the Chinese people's "doctorate" skills; he wrote about the white goose, saying that it is full of arrogance, needs to be served when eating, and is more vicious than a dog; about children, they use stools as trains and banana fans as bicycles, and they play more seriously than adults. He hides in Yuanyuan Hall to see the world, and uses the simplest words to describe the most profound human world. You think he is talking about romance and family affairs, but in fact, he is talking about life in every sentence. But it was these trivial matters that he wrote into short chapters that have been handed down from generation to generation. It's no wonder that Zhu Ziqing, Ba Jin, and Junichiro Tanizaki couldn't help but praise a few words. Opening this book, you will find that there are so many poems and philosophies hidden in life that have been deliberately ignored.

17K0

An eighth-grade civil servant woke up and found that his nose was missing. What's even more bizarre is that the nose actually wore the gold-embroidered dress of a fifth-class civil servant, rode a carriage through the streets of Petersburg, and called himself "Your Excellency." The barber cut it out of freshly baked bread, and the police intercepted it in the fleeing carriage - but it refused to return to the face, leaving only a smooth surface. Gogol's "The Nose" is the most bizarre and bitter satirical masterpiece in the history of Russian literature. Mr. Lu Xun used his unique writing skills to translate this absurd farce vividly. The vanity of officialdom, the ignorance of ordinary people, and society's morbid worship of "status" are all stripped naked in the bizarre adventure of One Nose. It's short, sharp, hilarious, and makes people shiver down their spine after laughing - because that arrogant nose may be on each of our faces.

After ten years of exile, she lost her country, her husband, her purity, and finally her health. Racked by illness, she was left with only sorrow for her fate and despair for her homeland.

Children's eyes, ordinary people's daily lives, trivial kindnesses, and fleeting quiet moments were all recorded by him one by one. Feng Zikai uses extremely light brushstrokes to write about extremely heavy realities: the cruelty of war, the fragility of life, and the kindness and dignity that people still maintain in desperate situations.

Lao She

"Camel Xiangzi" tells the story of the ups and downs of Xiangzi, a young, strong and energetic rickshaw puller in the city of Beiping, China. Xiangzi came from the countryside. He was a bankrupt young farmer who was diligent, simple and kind. He retained everything that the countryside had nurtured and taught him, but he never wanted to go back to the countryside. Xiangzi, who came to the city from the countryside, was eager to buy a car of his own with his honest labor. It was Xiangzi's wish, hope, and even religion to be an independent worker. With diligence and perseverance, he spent three years frugally, and finally realized his ideal and became a self-reliant first-class coachman. But just half a year after pulling the cart, the cart was kidnapped by deserters in the chaos of war. Xiangzi lost the cart and only brought back three camels. Xiangzi was not discouraged. He still stubbornly started from scratch and drove the cart more self-consciously to save money. However, before he could buy another car, all his savings were extorted and robbed by detectives, and his dream of buying a car came to nothing again. When Xiangzi pulled into his car again, it was at the expense of a deformed marriage with Huniu. The good times did not last long, because Huniu died in childbirth, and he had to sell the rickshaw to attend to the funeral. At this point, his life ideal was completely shattered. Coupled with the suicide of his beloved woman Xiao Fuzi, the last spark of hope in his heart was blown out. Suffering repeated blows from life, Xiangzi began to lose any aspirations and confidence in life. He could no longer muster the courage to live. He was no longer proud of pulling carts as before. He hated pulling carts and hated working. Xiangzi, who was teased by life, started playing games, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. In order to drink, Xiangzi swindled money everywhere and became a "urban garbage". In the end, he made a living by working as a handyman for weddings and funerals. Xiangzi was reduced from a "decent, strong, dreamy, self-interested, personal, strong, and great" lower-class worker to a "degenerate, selfish, unfortunate, born in the womb of social disease, and the end of individualism."

There are no grand issues, and there is no rush to reason. Instead, we slowly expand our understanding of life from daily trivial matters, family warmth, childlike world, and the ups and downs of life. The really important things in life are often hidden in the details that we ignore: a meal, a painting, a chat, a state of mind that is neither fighting nor grabbing. In the complicated and fast reality, only by slowing down can you see; by not being in a hurry, you will not easily go astray. Let the days pass by inch by inch and your heart calm down minute by minute.

Use your steps to measure the world, and use compassion to place yourself at ease. Travel is not about reaching a distant place, but slowly getting closer to the heart.

As a result, mountains and rivers are no longer just mountains and rivers, walking has become a kind of spiritual practice. Feng Zikai walked the world with a childish heart and recorded the world with a warm pen. He does not judge the world, but only watches quietly; he does not occupy the scenery, but only places the moment into eternity. Reading these words is like walking side by side with a humble pedestrian. In the passing time, learn to slow down and be gentle.

Feng Zikai used a very light pen to write about a very heavy life: the joy and sorrow in the four seasons, the tears and joy of relatives and friends. In the trivial human sounds, he slowly expressed his consideration for life and compassion for the world. These words are like whispering in the ears, talking about the world where childlike innocence is still intact, and the reason why one is still willing to believe in tenderness in the chaotic reality. Whether it is looking back at family affection, pity for all living beings, or contemplating the ups and downs of the times, Feng Zikai always protects the most authentic corner of life for readers with a quiet heart. Reading "Whispers of the World", it is like hearing again the sounds that the world should have outside the hustle and bustle: not grand, but long-lasting; not sharp, but moving.

Feng Zikai uses popular language to talk about art issues such as painting, music, literature, and aesthetic education, and turns difficult art theories into what he sees and feels in daily life. In his writings, art is not a knowledge hanging in a palace, but a way of cultivation that is closely related to life; it is not a pile of techniques, but the settlement of the soul. Feng Zikai starts from the eyes of children, the lives of ordinary people, and the aesthetics of the East, and talks about the nature of art, how "beauty" nourishes people's hearts, and how art can keep people awake and compassionate in the turbulent reality.

"The Old Times of Yuanyuantang" is a volume of prose written for the years. Feng Zikai was in the Yuan Yuan Hall, looking down at the world and listening to the time with a high heart. He slowly wrote the daily daily necessities, innocent laughter, the figures of relatives and friends, and the passing of the four seasons into the text. There is no noisy history here, only a quiet life; there are no grand propositions, only the deep affection in every meal and every vegetable. The old times do not appear stale in his writing, but are as gentle as before, like a lamp, illuminating the softest corners of people's hearts. Reading this book is like pushing the door open at dusk, sitting across from the past, and listening to the whispers of life.

Feng Zikai used letters as a boat, carrying tenderness, respect and quiet affection, sailing towards his teachers, close friends and relatives. In the letters written to teachers, there is humility and gratitude, and every word is the foundation of life; in the letters written to friends, there are clear conversations and understanding, and the storms of life are turned into a cup of light tea; in the letters written to relatives, there is no great talk, only daily fireworks, but the most sincere. In the years of war, wandering, and poverty, Feng Zikai still believed: The world may be difficult, but people's hearts can be gentle; even if life has its shortcomings, it is still lovely. These letters do not seek to be thrilling, but only teach people how to live gently and how to keep an undistorted heart in the chaos.

This book collects eight unique short stories written by Lu Xun over the past thirteen years. The story is based on ancient legends, but it is different from traditional historical novels. It is more like a realistic and ironic rewriting of historical texts, a pot of "strange soup" that combines tradition and modernity, history and reality. Here, familiar characters from history or mythology appear one by one in bizarre or comic ways. The plot of the novel is absurd, the technique is outstanding, and it presents an unprecedented style. Reading it to this day, it still feels avant-garde.

Diary of a Madman

Lu Xun

59K0

This book contains fourteen classic short stories by Lu Xun. In "Diary of a Madman", Lu Xun put his nascent vernacular prose on paper, creating a precedent for modern vernacular novels. The melancholy, suspicion, panic, and delusion of the "madman's" thoughts are still connected with the emotions of readers to this day. The "madman's" questions have also passed through the time and space barriers of a hundred years and echo today - "It has always been like this, is it right?" "Lu Xun is a person who is constantly communicating with the times. A popular person, he has been touching the most sensitive nerves of the times." From his characters such as "Madman", Hua Laoshuan, Chen Cheng, Zijun and Juansheng, we get a glimpse of the wandering between light and dark, the boredom under the passion, and at the same time, we get a glimpse of our own life and death love.

In order to pursue the pure true meaning of art, the young painter deliberately escaped from the secular world and embarked on a journey to collect scenery in the mountains. He held himself in a detached state of mind and observed the world from an "impersonal" aesthetic perspective. He tried to include the teahouse grandmother, the beautiful girl, and the barber shop owner in the painting. However, the painting failed many times, which triggered his in-depth thinking about the mood of painting and Eastern aesthetics. After a short journey, the painter returned to the real world, and his views on nature and art have been reconstructed. This is not only a landscape journey in the real world, but also a spiritual journey into the world of art, guiding people to touch the essence of art.
