Pure literature is sometimes the same as poetry, it's all very subjective, as they say, "There's a thousand Hamlets in a thousand minds".
This book, Ah Friends Goodbye, was a surprise to me at the end of 2021.
A writer named Ouyang Zi wrote a book called Swallows Before Wang Xie Tang, which is dedicated to Mr. Bai Xianyong's novel Taipei People.
For this book, some people say that Ouyangzi analyzed it very well, and some people say that it is over-analyzed. For this, as nowadays often controversial students reading comprehension questions. This is enough to show how strong the subjectivity of literary works.
So I will probably write a highly subjective book review as well.
I loved this book so much, it's one of those books that I never expected to find **** to tweet from every story.
If I were to be brazen, I would say that the stories she writes are the stories I want to write. There are many passages of hers that I marvel at, ah written into my heart. Of course, self-awareness makes me stop, I know I can't write that well at the moment.
So rationally, I would like to say that this writer born in Gansu in 1991, her style of writing is calm and atmospheric, natural and light, not pretentious, not bluffing.
｜Once a person has a sense of mission, he or she becomes a potential martyr.
There are five stories in this book, the first of which is "Li Chuiqing, 2001"
Li Chuiqing is a poet, and my best friend Song Xi and I are obsessed with her and want to know more about her, but she has disappeared.
And so the story unfolds in a poetic way, in a time before poetry fell out of favor, with me and Song Xi, and Li Liqing and Tou Shu and Hai Hai, the two threads intertwined, as if they were a cross between the unreal and the real.
Maybe it's all unreal, maybe it's all real, who can say?
I actually found the story flat and exciting.
As the author says, "withholding something real from the passing," and in the end, it all comes back together.
Li Tuiqing disappeared from sight, goodbye Tou Shu and Hai Hai. "I" and Song Xi also farther and farther away, each running towards a new life.
"The end of the big time fireworks, whose romance is nothing but entertainment, each with a new way to go."
Goodbye friends.
But we can not ignore, "big time fireworks" because of the short-lived beautiful, and thrilling, soulful.
｜Western Water and Between the Banks
These are the two short stories in this book, maybe not as amazing as the other three, but I still like them.
"Xipi Liu Shui" is about a modern Peking Opera actress ...... suddenly feel that I this sentence to say this story vulgar, thought about the short story or do not say too much, let's just leave some suspense.
｜ "Always maintaining thoughts about life is one of the things that many people around her find hard to understand."
"White Noise" is one of my favorites in this book, and one of the most ****able.
The quote above is one of the reasons why; this story features two young men, and if I'm being a little more brazen, I'd even go so far as to say that Chang is me in it, and Chung is my boyfriend.
If you're a couple, you'll be talking about the fact that "we're gradually overrun by the reality of what we see and what we get. Sounds, lines, colors, shapes, forms, symbols, and everything else that conveys an experience floods our senses, and we've become accustomed to aesthetics in the virtual world." That can be you guys, too, if you're talking about these kinds of topics.
In the age of the short-form video explosion we live in, it can become really hard to maintain and discuss ideas from time to time, and it can be hard to find **** with parents, coworkers, and friends, but there's still "Little Bell".
He will always be able to answer any question or topic that pops up, and will always be able to understand my off-the-wall thinking and strange ideas. And I can always give him a comforting embrace and creative inspiration.
This may be considered the snuggling of the soul, which has nothing to do with the skin. Every collision of ideas can blossom into a more splendid spark, "This is supposed to be a world that is explained."
"The prescription was leaping out of the water with the dolphins," a story that struck me as romantic.
| "Different radii can each be complete."
It occurred to me that there was a commercial for a music program that said, "Listen to every song as if you were singing about yourself." Because reading this book, I can find myself in every story.
This last story is titled "Ah Friends Goodbye".
Perhaps goodbye is not only to friends, but also to that small piece of life.
It's hard to imagine that the ****ing I can find in this story is the targeting of teachers and the ostracizing of classmates.
The teacher's targeting happened when I was in elementary school because I didn't enroll in the extracurricular OU classes that the math teacher could get a commission for (that's when my aversion to math started), and I suffered endless taunts and blank stares from my math teacher.
Unfortunately, I don't have the courage of Gao Xirong's bravado and reckless defiance, nor do I have Liu Xuan's patience to go all the way without looking around.
Each of them went through different trials and tribulations and eventually became their grown-up selves.
I am the same.
The trauma of being a student is perhaps even greater than that of the so-called family of origin, and it is an external factor that we can hardly change.
Liu Xuan came back and went away, the boy with the guitar who liked each other during the student years is also going away, the best friend Gao Rongxi stayed in the same place, the teacher who left a shadow on them went into the ranks of the square dance mothers, and became even more ordinary. Sour.
It was as if I was saying goodbye to a small part of my life along with this story.
Goodbye, that boy, goodbye, childhood friend, goodbye, that part of life.
Each of us has found our own fulfillment.
