It's white like white silk thread used for embroidery, sparkling and shiny. It's black, but it's not really black. It's as if it has rolled in the soil and is dusty. She sighed softly, balled them up, opened the stove cover, and threw them into the stove. With a "pop" sound, the smell of burnt wool suddenly came out of the stove, and the fever in my hair disappeared. Narcissus couldn't remember when he started to have gray hair.

Before dawn, Sun Yongan went out carrying the bucket. The light blue morning mist hid the town. The town is called Puguang. It was a famous temple many years ago. It was called Puguang Temple at that time. The sound of wooden fish and chanting continued for hundreds of years. At the beginning of the last century, an unknown fire burned the temple to ashes. Since then, the monks have left and the incense has been cut off. When the fluffy spring grass emerges from the black ashes, the land returns to secular life again and becomes a distribution center for supplies in the middle reaches of the Qingxi River. Because it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, fog often forms over the town. Sometimes, the fog lingers in the early evening and does not dissipate until the afternoon of the next day. The street lights were dim and could not illuminate the houses or the soles of their feet. Sun Yongan walked through several short alleys based on his feelings, walked past the playground, went down a section of dirt slope lined with acacias, and then crossed a road to reach the old street.

Standing here, I suddenly felt a strange sense of abandonment, loss of control, and a faint sense of expectation. This expectation was caused by the plants in front of me. It seemed that they were instantly liberated through the gaze of a pair of eyes I brought from the center of the city. Otherwise, they will eventually fend for themselves alone. Of course this may just be my conjecture. I saw weeds overflowing the flower bed and establishing a base outside the flower bed, extending to the gap between the flower bed. They occupied part of the road, but there was still a road leading to the gate and the back of the building. There are actually a lot of gray striped grasses among these grasses, which is a common grass in rural areas of southern Shanxi and rarely seen in cities.

I am increasingly convinced that writing is a form of resistance. Yes, as a logical conclusion that often causes abstract ambiguity, the meaning of resistance is often not something that a writer can realize at the beginning of writing. It is the result of our gradual summary and refinement in the long practice of writing. For example, this is like the earliest clothes made by humans, which were only designed to cover the body and keep out the cold. But later, the main function of clothes was to help humans beautify themselves. What is the purpose of writing to resist? This issue can easily lead to ambiguity and misunderstanding. But there is no way. All human languages ​​and writings, no matter how accurate, will be accompanied by ambiguity and misunderstanding. To remove the obscuration and extract the essence, the only thing we can rely on is the breadth of our hearts.

This is a letter from Diao Dou that appears in his novel "Testimony" ("Testimony" was published in an issue of "Harvest" at the end of the last century). The male protagonist wrote this letter early and told his divorced wife to have his daughter Diao Chan memorize it until she was familiar with it. When he was woken up in the middle of the night to go to jail, he asked his daughter to recite the letter over the phone. Diao Chan was about to wake up, so she instinctively carried this letter that she seemed to understand but didn't understand. In my opinion, it is the best contemporary Chinese novel so far. In terms of narrative structure, it is similar to my favorite Korean movie "Peppermint Candy". It also hides the main plot, and then uses detailed hints to allow readers to guess and construct the untelling story. In addition, the protagonist's attitude towards life and the insights revealed inadvertently are both moving. It is a novel that can be read over and over again with endless aftertaste.

After breakfast, Cheng Liduan, a bricklayer from Chengjiaban, went to Yanqiao Town to do two things: one was to order songs, and the other was to withdraw money. The bus station is located at the gate of the township government. When Li Duan arrived at the station, the previous bus had just left. There were quite a few private "Boom Boom Boom" tricycles and "Andal" cars produced in the region, circling around the station like dogs, entertaining passengers. "Go to Yanqiao, go to Yanqiao, get on the bus!" As people pass by, these "Boom Boom Boom" and "Andal" automatically slow down and greet them warmly. Li Duan ignored it. "Andal" was too expensive, and the "boom-boom-boom" bumps would kill people, so he was ready to wait for the next train. "Is this Master Cheng, going to town?" A tall and powerful "Chunlan Leopard" screeched to a stop beside Li Duan. The man driving the car took off his sunglasses, and there was a scary scar between his eyebrows.

There is some mist and the air is very fresh. At that time, the sky was only dimly lit, and the last few blue stars were still twinkling overhead. The station was deserted. Jieyu couldn't help but reach out and pick a rose flower. A few drops of dew rolled down the red petals. Dew flowed down the back of her hands and into her cuffs, and Jieyu felt cold.
