The love of the city after reading

The love of the city after reading the collection of 1

Have always liked to read novels, but more like to read romance novels, I like to follow the author to experience the director of those love-hate feelings, experience their joy and anger and sadness. See the main character happy, I will be happier than them, see them sad, I will be more sad than them. Immersed in those beautiful love stories, he or she will also become very happy.

The first time I read Love in a Fallen City was in my second year of college, and I was just starting to get hooked on novels. At that time to see the "love of the city" is not very understand anything, just read the story, only know the heroine is white Liu Su, the hero is Fan Liu Yuan, white Liu Su is a divorced woman, she has no status in the old-fashioned white house, and then in order to fight for their own breath, white Liu Su will be snatched away from the original to be introduced to his sister's Fan Liu Yuan, and then the two together, but they hold a different view on the love in the no However, they held different views on love and, without the motivation to continue, embarked on marriage due to the war. After that, with age, slowly understand a lot, and then read the book a few times, but also gradually see some other aspects of things.

There are several parts of this article that I would like to talk about first: the White House represents everything from the old days, including the way of life. As mentioned at the beginning of the book, like their clock at ten o'clock is someone else's eleven o'clock, and they sang the huqin that could not keep up with life, from this side we can see that it is a very old-fashioned, very old-fashioned. It is very similar to China at that time! In addition, Eileen Chang's portrayal of male-female relationships is very subtle and beautiful, which is very different from what is portrayed in literature nowadays, for example, when she describes Fan Liuyuan's heart. It can be seen from the words spoken by the Third Grandmother: the Third Grandmother sighed and said, "Jumped once and said it was a perfunctory face, but also jumped a second time and a third time!" From this sentence, we can see that it says that Fan Liu Yuan had love at first sight for Bai Liushu, and the fact that I would want to dance with you for a second and third time after dancing with you once means that I actually have feelings for you.

Some people say that all of Eileen Chang's novels, except Love in a Fallen City, end in tragedy. In my opinion, "Love in a Fallen City" is a marriage between Bai and Liu, but in fact, it is a secular appearance to cover up the real sadness, more and more than the tragedy is more like a tragedy.

Bai Liusu, a divorced woman. In that ambiguous era and the equally ambiguous old Shanghai, divorce is subject to moral condemnation. And the White House undoubtedly belongs to the old-fashioned school, "They use old clocks at home, their ten o'clock is someone else's eleven o'clock, and they sing songs away from the boards, unable to keep up with the huqin of life." Divorced Bai Liusu, less by the family's poke. After all the money and possessions have been stripped away, her existence has undoubtedly become a drag and redundancy. She is afraid that there is no other way out except the embrace of another man.

Fan Liu Yuan, a prodigal son returned from overseas, is a rootless duckweed, drifting around. In addition to the intoxication of life, he regarded "women as the mud under his feet". He did not believe in love and marriage, nor did he dare to expect. But deep down he longed for stability.

Love is always between a selfish man and a selfish woman. In this way, two people with different intentions meet in one place, and start a love attack and defense war of mutual temptation. Bai Liusu's purpose is obvious, she wants him to promise her a paper marriage. A man. And Ryu is counting on that peace of mind so the two are each uncompromising with each other in defense of that little bit of freedom or in pursuit of materialistic calculations. When finally one day, the spiritual pursuit of the reality of the support can not be found, the two began to be close to each other.

In the continuous temptation, after the tassel did not find half progress, so some angry, then annoyed up: "You simply say not married, finished! And also around the big bend! What do you mean, you can't decide? Even I'm such an old-fashioned family, but also said 'the first marriage from the relatives, and then married from the body' miles! You're such an uninhibited person, if you can't make the decision yourself, who will make the decision for you?" Then it is even more angry and heartless from Hong Kong rolled back to Shanghai. Her family had not been able to tolerate her, and this time added the bad name of "x slut". It can be seen that she is not afraid to fight for the marriage risked a lot. At this time, the heart is even more exposed, thinking about finding a career, but also afraid of self-depreciation, was Liu Yuan look down on, "Otherwise he has more excuses. Refused to marry her." The result of the weighing is: "At any rate, we must endure for some time." It was a bet with herself. She didn't necessarily have much assurance of winning. If Yanagihara came back to her, it would be a win, and that was her bottom line at this point. Sure enough, after some time, a telegram came from Hong Kong. She naturally settled down a lot in her heart, but also will let go of herself a little, with him on the bed, although not necessarily the initiative, but also did not refuse. However, at this point, "they are still two irrelevant people, two worlds".

In Love in a Fallen City, Tassel is just an ordinary woman who grew up in a large family. She is divorced and befriends Fan Liuyuan in a specific opportunity. In the everyday world, there exists a war of conquest between them, and they fight within themselves. What is real and what is not? She just likes the fact that he came to negotiate peace on more favorable terms. I've always loved this passage, which roughly means that a woman who seduces a man will be called an x-woman, and to be seduced by a man is to be damned, and if she seduces a man, and the man doesn't appreciate that he won't take the bait, then it's a double damned. It is full of insightful, dripping clarity. Then the war breaks out, breaking down what floats on the surface of everyday life and fulfilling their relationship. The most touching is the night they silently hold each other's hands at the end, the momentary understanding and touching is also enough for them to live together for ten or eight years. Such an ending, even if it is a joint, warm outside more desolate. In the last paragraph, Eileen Chang said: he put away his sweet words and left them to other women, which is a good phenomenon, indicating that in his eyes he has taken her as his own, a wife in name only. Such a disappointing ending is not without a misappropriated mockery of love.

In Eileen Chang's view, the so-called romance, but in the story of a saga of wind and snow, ruthless romance. Everyone is in pursuit of what, but the real feelings do not exist, even if there is, it is also illusory, in the world of love and love of speech between, mostly let the world of love of the nothingness engulfed love of speech. Love, hate and sadness is just a play played forget the dialog of the tragic comedy, silent talk with others to hear, earn the sighs of others, forget their own tears, look back to see "this is nothing, where to stir up the dust"? I can't get out of the mirror, it's just water and moon. Depression, desolation, despair, emptiness, fear - all all the feeling of only these desolate is real and long, moving their own people have gone away, or never appeared, in the rolling dust, waiting for a long time, met, not too early and not too late to meet, but also so. After the staggering is the fragmentation of the sentimental, long long to talk about the silence. Even the initial enthusiasm for waiting has been lost. Only feel cold, boundless emptiness like a tidal wave of gusts. Human weakness, in her view is also a sin, Zhang Eileen's interest in the evil of human nature is expressed in the characterization of the characters spared no effort to portray the naked, her pen is not perfect, there are only men and women, full of desire, can not grasp their own men and women. At the same time, they are the strongest - nothing is stronger or more numb than erotic men and women in despair

The end of Love in a Fallen City reads:

"Legends of the fallen are largely so. Legends are everywhere, but they don't see such a happy ending. The huqin babbling and mute pulling, in the night of ten thousand lights, pulling over there to pull over, to tell endless stories of bleakness - do not ask! "The sound of the huqin seems to ring in the ears, but is full of unknown, only that I am young and ignorant. Maybe after some years, in holding up the "Love in a Fallen City", a thousand things are different again. Just a little sadness ......

An adult fairy tale with a happy ending, but through the sadness, savoring the hardships of survival in the world and the absurdity of fate.

The fall of Hong Kong has made her whole. But in this incomprehensible world, who knows what is the cause and what is the effect Who knows, perhaps because of the need to fulfill her, a metropolis toppled. Thousands of people died, and thousands of people suffered, followed by a shocking great reform ...... Tassel did not feel that there was any subtle point in her place in history. She just stood up with a smile on her face and kicked the mosquito smoke incense tray under the table.". -- Love in a Fallen City

This is my favorite sentence in this article and even in all of Eileen Chang's works, as if there is an endless destiny in it, is it only in such a helpless situation that the love of Bai Liusu and Fan Liubuan have their place to live in peace? This kind of clinging to each other is not Perhaps love between them is more like a game, a transaction between two people.

Tassel is a strong woman, in the repressive, deformed living environment, chose to escape. She was bold enough to divorce her ex-husband against the scorn of the crowd. But at the same time, she is always a woman who is financially weak and helpless, and the only way to escape is to rely on a man to find her own shelter, so she must compromise. The contradiction between reality and her character makes her learn to be calculating. Unfortunately, fate has made her learn to protect herself, but it has also made this simple, sincere emotion of hers hover over doubts, suspicions, money, responsibility, and vanity. But how could she be blamed for that? She admitted that Yanagihara was lovely and gave her wonderful thrills, but her purpose with him was really financial security. Speaking of Yanagihara, how could he not be the same? With a similarly unpleasant memory from his youth, he is eccentric and has no intention of having a family. He simply can't handle love and can't give each other commitment or confidence. Maybe or rather must, he once just regarded the tassel as one of those many inside, after the fresh, each shot two separate, responsibility is not needed, love is just spice, and the tassel also naturally know this, "blew up you, my story should be finished. Blow me up, your story is still long!" In her heart, Ryuusu naturally knows Yanagihara, and she also understands that only this catastrophe about the city has made them whole. The war brought about the crippling, but for Liu Su and Liu Yuan is a mock consummation ". The accidental dumping of the city, let them throw away all, let them from the hide-and-seek type of shrewd to break through all the union - Liu Su got the name, Liu Yuan also willing to take responsibility. War makes people real. Under the death, suddenly feel the momentary change that is the smoke disappears, yin and yang, can not allow you to have half a bit of hesitation, due to the life and death only in a moment, money, power, beauty and so on do not matter, can seize only now, only around the still existing breath of him (her).

"He is but a selfish man, she is but a selfish woman. In these times of war and chaos, there is no place for individualists, but there is always room for an ordinary couple." The original choice was to hold your hand and grow old with your son.

Fan Liu Yuan to the last moment is also still awake, "Now you can believe: 'death and life', which we do our own master ...... "A good at bowing to the A woman who is good at bowing her head may become a peaceful wife at last. Let him have a place to go after the labor and indulgence. A man's homecoming is ultimately just a woman.

Like a passage in the novel: "The tassel to this point, but regret that she has Liu Yuan in the body, a person as if there are two bodies, but also masked a double danger. A bullet can not hit her, but also allowed to hit him. If he died, if he was crippled, her situation was even more unimaginable. If she is injured, in order to fear of dragging him down, only cross heartedly seek death. If she died, she wouldn't be able to die as cleanly as if she were alone. She expected Liu Yuan to think the same way. She did not know that in this moment, she only has him, and he only has her."

That hint of warmth between two people, in a moment, makes time eternal. This moment of intertwined emotions should be the reason for the existence of happiness. If this can be called love, then even if it is. But I feel it is more of a sadness. If there was no war, the two would still be living in their own shells, moving slowly forward, and neither would give their hearts to the other. They will go on according to the self-defined trajectory of life, seemingly abundant, but pale and sad.

When I first read the book, I always thought that tragedy is a woman's. Now I think that tragedy is a woman's. Now, the party feels that tragedy is a woman's and a man's.

A great man's tragedy is a woman's tragedy.

A big change changes everything, but if it is to achieve such a relationship, the price is too big, and such a chance is almost zero.

Such a love, perhaps only exist in the fairy tale.

It is very rare to write a movie review after watching a movie, but this time, after watching "Love in a Fallen City", I have the urge to write again.

I was touched by watching this movie.

It is a love movie, a movie that turns from ambiguity to love. Let me know that the original ambiguity can also be touching, can also be serious. It is only a pity that it is in the movie ......

"Death and life, and the son of a happy. Hang on to your son, and grow old with him."

This is Zhang Eileen in the "Love in a Fallen City" repeatedly chanting a sentence, which not only expresses Zhang Eileen's highest ideal of love , but also all women's highest vision of love.

Yes, no matter what kind of woman, the last is expected to get married. As only marriage can represent the man is really love themselves, it is the highest commitment of men to a woman.

It is here that the movie moves people. After all, Fan Liuyuan married Bai Liusu! No matter how sincere he was at the beginning, no matter how many tricks he used in the middle of the game, no matter how long they continued the "tug-of-war" back and forth, how many of the other side of the test of truth and falsehood ......, but in the end, he is married to her ah, in front of the outsiders to her! Said: No, she is not Miss X, she is Mrs. Fan ...... just for this live, Liu Su tears like rain, because she has been waiting too long too long.

"The fall of Hong Kong has fulfilled her, but in this incomprehensible world, who knows what is the cause and what is the effect? Who knows? Perhaps just by trying to fulfill her, a metropolis turned upside down. Thousands of people died, thousands of people suffered, followed by a shocking reform ...... "

I believe that it is the war that fulfills the tassel, fulfills the true heart of Fan Liuyuan, experienced life and death will be different, it is the life and death of Fan Liuyuan from a flamboyant gentleman into a The first time I saw him, I was so happy to see him, and I was so happy to see him, and I was so happy to see him.

If I were Liusu, I do not know if I would want to thank the war, perhaps it will be ...... so that it seems very inhumane, but in that displaced chaos, I will just want to do with the loved ones as a pair of ordinary couples.

I remember when I used to watch "If there is love in the sky", Wang Qi and Fang Yi'an discussed the issue of location. Fang Yi'an said: a person's position should be in the other person's heart. Wang Qi heard, smiled and said: that is because you are still young, a person only have a place in his home, it shows that there is a place in his heart.

Married Bai Liusu Fan Liuyuan is to let people moved Fan Liuyuan, otherwise it is just and all the men and women love the same play an ambiguous game, even though it makes people fall in love, but will not let people moved ......

No matter what fulfills their love, in the end, they are coming together. Don't want to lament the cruelty of war, don't want to lament the sadness of women, just want to say for them: really good. "Death and life, with the son to be happy. Hang on to your hand, and grow old with your son." Really good ......

The love of the city after reading the collection of 4

Since the acquaintance of Eileen Chang, will be savored what is the real "cool". Bleakness, is buried deep in the bones of a thorn, you do not move it, nothing happens, you touch it, will be piercing the heart. Nowadays, few people have a taste for coolness, because it is too heavy, too heavy, hurt the body, but also hurt the spirit, few modern people to do this kind of thing in their own self-interest, and therefore, we have lost it for a long time, and occasionally pick up, but also just a quick glance, and then dropped it. So, Eileen Chang has gone, it represents the `that kind of bleakness will also follow the disappearance. Woo-hoo! Woe!

Some of the words, let a person look at the want to tears. Not because the story is touching, not because the characters are sad, is a kind of indefinable sentiment, it will slowly bring you into the book, into the story, and then your feelings will be set, can not get out, gradually sinking, the love of the place, it will be suddenly a moment, tears. This kind of text, like a poison, slowly into your body, you know, but can not resist. Zhang Eileen is the person who wrote such words, you read her book, is drinking the most poisonous crane red, even if it is dead, but also die a poignant death, death is enough to let a person remember a lifetime! You see, the crane's crown is so beautiful, I would like to be intoxicated in that kind of beauty!

Ailing said in "Love in a Fallen City": "There are some silly words, not only to say behind someone's back, but also behind their own back. Let yourself hear also strange embarrassment. For example, I love you, I love you all my life." There are very few women who can resist this kind of love words that are said with great skill, almost naked, yet not feeling vulgar. The reserve that Liusu had been maintaining also nearly collapsed when Fan Liu Yuan said these words, which were very nice to hear, who said otherwise? Temptation? Defensive? Suspicion? At that moment, it should all be put down! Just two people, two lovers, in the middle of saying this little love words, the middle did not separate the war guns, do not have to worry about the family background, unloading everything, in addition to the love for you.

The love of the city, sometimes even worse than a meal of coarse tea, coarse tea can still quench the thirst, light rice can still be fruitful, and the love of the city? It is like a world of fireworks, brilliant, but ultimately can not be long. I remember once asked a friend why he was reluctant to fall in love, he asked a rhetorical question: "love can be eaten?" I froze on the spot, wanting to retort, but finally turned away. What could I say? Do you want me to tell him: although love can not be food, but can fill the void, warm hearts? The first thing I want to say is that I'm not going to be able to do that!

The world longs for love, and women especially. You don't have to be in a hurry to refute me, yes, I admit, there are a lot of people who have given up on love and turned to money, vanity or other more realistic things. But you can't deny that there is a desire for love, if the fish and the bear's paw can be both, who will give up? Reality is too cruel, they just made a choice that they think is right, as to whether they will regret, that is their own thing. If Liusu didn't end up with Fan Liuyuan, it wasn't because they didn't love each other enough, but because heaven and earth were not kind. Therefore, we should not be offended by those who give up love to choose other people, after all, love is not in everyone's heart is the first. I longed for it, but I couldn't, only because I had other attachments, so I had to give up on you. Who can bear to blame this kind of helpless people?

Friends ah, fate to, go to love, even if in love with the front will become humble , perhaps, you will be as Eileen said, in the dust to bloom a flower it! This is just like the judgment in Dream of the Red Chamber, and I thought that Eileen Chang would write Fan Liuyuan in this prodigal son mode. And so, the prophecy came true. As a British expatriate, Fan Jun was naturally a standard husband in the eyes of the ladies, and he was surrounded by warblers and swallows, each showing their own skills and making a great deal of noise. Despite the beauty of the clouds, fat and thin Fan Liu Yuan is still walking in style. Until he met a Chinese-style shy as jade, low-brow tender white tassel.

Fan Liu Yuan met Bai Liusu, at the outset, I know that she is not a good situation, divorced and dead ex-husband, in his mother's home, nowhere to stay under the desperation must be looking for a diamond like him to tie a long-term meal ticket. Although he knew that her heart fine scrape of the calculator, but from her stumbling and helpless to see in the self at a loss in the loneliness. So, Fan Liu Yuan said: "You ...... you if you know the former me, maybe you will forgive the present me", Fan Liu Yuan's life is quite monstrous, I think this moment he is seeing her heart, like suddenly see yourself, in front of a thick mirror, there is the The same sharp mask, the fragile, conflicted, struggling, unresolved heart, that was himself, and he knew it was himself.

Bai Liusu is such a view of Fan Liu Yuan, and she alone with such a stable, on the contrary, people before the wanton, people after the gentleman model, this kind of mind, even she can not touch. In fact, it is not that Bai Liusu can not understand, but she underestimated the degree of Fan Liuyuan's love for a person, with all of us the same by Zhang Eileen's judgment to the blindfold. Fan Liuyuan longs for Bai Liusu to be on the same level with him on a spiritual level, not just for financial security or physical fulfillment. So he said to her, "I don't know myself - but I want you to know me! I want you to know me!" He said this with his mouth, but in his heart he had already despaired, and yet he said stubbornly, pleadingly, "I want you to know me!"

From here on, I don't care how desolate Eileen Chang's writing style is, how cold her words are; whether Bai Liusu is close to Fan Liuhuan for economic security, or Liuhuan likes Bai Liusu just for spiritual comfort; no matter how many hooks and tricks, no matter how much of the playacting and pretending, in the world of love, it's just a matter of you retreating and me advancing, and whoever is first to move will die first. At least at that moment, even if only a tiny bit of me believe that Fan Liu Yuan heart trembling, believe that he said on the phone, "I love you" sincerity, believe that he said: "death and life - with the son to be happy, holding hands with his son, with his son to grow old. That's the saddest poem of all. Life, death and parting are great events that are not at our disposal. Compared to the power of the outside world, we human beings are so small, so small! But I am inclined to say: "I will always be with you; let us never leave each other for the rest of our lives" with certainty.

So I believe that they are true rivals, and I believe that they can see right through her. I believe that he can see through her contours to kiss her valor, forgive her once shameless, and those who can not talk about the lowly! Is it worth cherishing or is it sad?

I vaguely remember when Chow Yun-Fat interpreted the Fan Liu Yuan freely, in and out of the degree of his skillful acting contrasted "white tassel" only the power of the power of the fight, but not the power to fight back.

Fortunately, the tassel is not vulgar - it is the tenderness of a bowed head, the shyness of the water lotus flower does not win the cool wind; fortunately, the background of the love is still in the anti-Japanese war, the fall of the city. Big city small love, love in a special background but also poor.

Bai Liusu, Fan Liu Yuan said that the mutual help, it would be better to say dependent on each other more aptly.

Perhaps in Eileen's bones, she never believed in the existence of pure, unadulterated love. What did Bai Liusu really want? Widowed, abandoned and ostracized by her family, she desperately needed a name and a family to shelter her and recognize her. A humble family is something she cannot tolerate and is not allowed to have. What she needs most is a shoulder to change her situation, not a love that is not in the condition of existence.

Fan Liu Yuan, a well-dressed and elegant man, naturally likes Liusu, but in the absence of a war, he only likes it. He doesn't like the responsibility and bondage. He is a free-spirited man who can't stand the shackles of marriage laid down by an ordinary woman. As Bai Liusu inferiority complex: a week of love can hold him what?

Without the war, who can guarantee that Fan Liyuan would have come back to Liusu as he promised? Ferry stops running, forced to return, war is tight ...... The most heartwarming part of this movie for me is that when they return to the house where they live, the once unruly Fan Liuhuan stoops down and scrubs the floor; after inviting the socialite, who is even more downtrodden than they are, to dinner, Fan Liuhuan says gently "We don't get to eat every day." There are a lot of times when "life" is more accurate than "can bend and can stretch" to expose the nature of people.

Tassel is not vulgar, but also not a maverick, there is no war, that a man, how could he commit his life to her? Although he had in front of a wall, instantly did "the end of the world" dream, although he had called her at a certain midnight, asked her if she would like to "hand in hand, with the son of the old?" War smoke, thunder, he tried his best to protect her panic, on the one hand, out of responsibility, more importantly, I'm afraid that the fear of loneliness, dependence on each other for the psychology at work!

The love of the city, is not a myth of love, but the world of sticking under the helplessness of the move. Love, only due to each other need only, halibut lack of a companion only, that's all, that's all ......
