Dark Room

Synopsis of the story of "Dark Room" The time recorded in the novel is from 1993 to 1996. This period was the season when the four kings of Hong Kong and Taiwan were running rampant, causing men and women all over the world to shout for stars. The story takes place in Hefei, Anhui Province. Hefei has four gates: east, west, north and south. There is Li Hongzhang's ancestral hall here, at the east gate. There are ruins of the Three Kingdoms at the west gate. There is Xiaoyaojing with the bronze statue of General Zhang Liao, the Mingjiao Temple where Cao Cao secretly built ancient roads, the pond where Cao Cao ordered troops, the tomb of Bao Zheng, and the Bao River with lotus flowers and fish surrounding the city center. There is a moat leading to Baohe River, called Nanfei River, which can reach Chaohu Lake. The novel is about my real high school life for two and a half years (from the first semester of high school to the third year of high school). In fact, writing this novel is very easy, as long as you copy the diary once. The protagonist of the novel is Mullen, a skinny boy. Mullen was born in 1976. His father is retired, his mother is a farmer, and his two brothers are both steel workers. The family lives in the suburbs, which is the combination of city and countryside. The standard of living in this place is neither poor nor rich, and the suburbs seem to be a place that is easily overlooked. Obviously, this is a mezzanine in the regional structure, but it also serves as a link between the past and the future. Middle school students in suburban areas are undisciplined and unmotivated. They start forming gangs, smoking and drinking, and despise culture since junior high school. Only academic performance is like the water of Nanfei River, so calm without any ripples. Therefore, Mullen envied the prosperity of the city and despised the backwardness of the countryside. Maren lives in this mezzanine, timid, hypocritical, fanciful, stingy, and stubborn. Mullen liked to play word games in junior high school, so he seemed precocious. His words seemed to be lubricated by oil, and his jokes were never repeated. Relying on some foundation in junior high school, my math score in the final exam of my first year of high school failed, so I changed my career to study art and dreamed of becoming a painter. Maren began to like being unconventional, listening to rock music, wearing strange clothes, speaking words that others could not understand, started learning guitar, and started writing poetry crazily. But artists and passionate people are twin brothers. At this time, Maren suddenly began to fall in love. Xia Yurong is a girl in the third grade of junior high school. She has a very ordinary look: round face, a princess haircut, and a medium build. Because he was often late, he was noticed by Malen. After being introduced by Malen's classmate Su Ya, the two began to fall in love for the first time. Ma Lun was used to talking on paper, and when he actually talked to Xia Yurong, he was very indifferent. Although Xia Yurong looks ordinary on the surface, she is not the kind of submissive girl. She has her own unique insights. Ma Lun's simple thinking is simply vulnerable and she often fails in defeat. Another girl, Gao Jingjing, filled Malen's spiritual gap at this time. This tall girl was gentle and generous, but she was plagued by illness and received only Malen's sympathy and care. In this way, the character Xia Yurong held Ma Lun tightly. But the reality is: Xia Yurong will graduate in one year and will not continue to attend high school. Ma Lun, who entered his senior year of high school, thought he would never see Xia Yurong again. That already irritable summer vacation tortured Mullen. . . The novel describes the rebellion and dreams of high school students born in the 1970s. There are boys' fantasies, girls' star-chasing, BEYONG's singing, and "Look at the face of the moon." The ending is not perfect, but the process is still rich! This novel records an age, a season, and a memory!
