Yi Shu, a very clever woman. Because she is smart, her fate is also upward. The story is compact and concise. On the surface, the language is lively, humorous and sharp, but her sadness is only hidden in her bones. Even the feelings that hurt to the bone marrow just stop, which is an understatement. After crossing the sea, it is completely difficult to get wet. Forever amber, after vicissitudes of life, is dull and can't afford waves, and life continues. The feeling of reading Yi Shu is to master everything by yourself. Nothing is serious enough to give up a person's life, unlike Qiong Yao's great sorrow and joy. The characters in Yi Shu's works seem to be around a person, maybe they are themselves. In her works, things are clear and then disappear. Qiong Yao became popular when she became popular in Yi Shu, so people said; "Hong Kong has Yi Shu and Taiwan Province has Qiong Yao", but she said, "There is no need to mention Qiong Yao". However, she admitted that Qiong Yao had Qiong Yao's skill and wrote the novel "That" to the extreme. If Qiong precious jade's novels are written for girls, then Yi Shu's novels are written for tomboys. Compared with the tall and perfect heroes who bring happiness to women in Qiong Yao's novels, most of the men in Yi Shu's novels are disappointing. The first half of my lonely life has the following categories: the honest and diligent husband suddenly discovered his true self and passion, and decided to live a new life with the actress, regardless of the feelings of his wife and children; A male colleague who has been complacent in the company for half his life, under the banner of "my wife doesn't understand me at all", asked a single woman for a bargain; Boys in their twenties, fresh out of college, want to find experience and comfort in mature women; Gentle and considerate, love art, knowledgeable partner, but gay; Try a few tricks to see that foreign devils can't immediately swear and turn the rudder and leave ... Of course, they are not bad, just like Zhang Ailing said, "just one person." "This is just a person! How much hope can you have? Therefore, most of the heroines in Yi Shu's novels are sentimental women who give up classical romanticism early and only take self-love and self-improvement as the foundation. Some of them are single women who don't complain when they are lonely, and sometimes their mouths are quite hard, making a lot of jokes; There are also people who finally find the other half (but with their brains, not their hearts)-a safe, open-minded and considerate man is the best destination for a woman who has gone through vicissitudes. Compared with the earth-shattering love that can live and die, this kind of Yi Shu is more sure. However, "this is another matter", Yi Shu repeatedly said, as if a little desolate. Maybe she still has a dream in her heart. We live in a real world, and everything is doomed to be full of contradictions, including love. Love is suspicious, but friendship-friendship between women-is pushed to the most important position by Yi Shu. Most of her heroines have at least one female close friend, or sister, or mother, or daughter, or classmate, colleague, or even stranger or rival in love, who stands on the same front with her, appreciates her, encourages her and helps her. Here, women's friendship is women's recognition, respect and love for their own gender, emotional needs, and even common resistance to unfair treatment of another gender. Yi Shu wrote about the warmth and preciousness of this friendship and its fragility-indeed, fragility, in a society where men are masters of their own affairs and women "miss men and blame them". There is a plot in The First Half of My Life: Zijun feels lost and even "unreasonable" because of Tang Jing's cohabitation with her fiance, knowing that the old love is no longer there, and lamenting that "there is no way to turn the tide" ... Even after they made up, that kind of sadness still exists. Tang Jingyuan got married, and since then, the days when she lived alone can only remain in her memories and become a permanent concern. Children are another concern in Yi Shu's heart. There are often children in her novels (mostly smart and precocious children of single mothers), and she is full of feelings for them. This feeling has even turned into love and appreciation for the whole younger generation: "They will enjoy life and know what they want." "How do they think and how do they know how to choose?" "At that time, the more unrealistic we were, the more romantic we felt. Break up with a man who doesn't like his feelings for three years. How many years does a person have? This generation of young people is really blessed, and the social atmosphere has become so open, lively and flexible ... "And all this, in the eyes of other writers, may be that people are becoming more and more selfish, shallower and more addicted to the performance of real enjoyment, that is, classical and beautiful feelings are no longer worrying and sighing. But Yi Shu didn't. Yi Shu is open and pragmatic. Perhaps because of her love for her children, she is willing to believe in the future and believe that all changes are for a better life-so in the past 20 years, one generation has studied in Yi Shu and the other in Yi Shu. The biggest difference between Yi Shu's novels and other popular novels is probably her strong female consciousness, which has not affected the popularity of her works (feminism, as a selling point, is very inappropriate at this stage, especially in China, and even a woman like Yang Lan said in an interview that her real ideal is to be a good wife and mother). The secret is probably Yi Shu's female consciousness, which is expressed in a very emotional and vivid form. I have read such a "warm story" from life magazines published in the mainland more than once: a girl fell in love, "lost her virginity", never got married, knowing that she had committed a heinous crime, but met a man she really loved in pain. After several struggles, I finally decided to tell the truth and tell her frankly that the man had forgiven her. God, how happy, how happy, how moved ... and the same thing, in Yi Shu's A Rose Story, the man chased the woman, "I forgive you", and the woman just said: What do I want you to forgive? What have I done to make me forgive you? Everyone has a past, and this past is also a part of me. If you feel dissatisfied, you can find another lady, but why should I beg you to forgive me? Your mind is a mess. Your girlfriend is not a virgin, so you should forgive her for turning over a new leaf. Who do you think you are? This woman is 29 and a half years old. She has such great courage to treat her fiance, which comes from her psychological independence and her economic independence. " I am a capable woman, and I can solve life problems with my own hands, so she has the right to ask for true love and respect. If he doesn't give it, she doesn't have to accommodate him. -This is simply a standard feminist gesture. But in Yi Shu's other novels, the heroine finally gave in-both sides made some concessions and cooperated happily. Maybe this is the limitation of Yi Shu, maybe it is her cleverness. People say that real equality between men and women takes a thousand years. I don't doubt this, because people have spent thousands of years making it. Then, instead of waiting for a thousand years, it is better to catch something affordable-so in "She is Lonelier than Fireworks", although the female reporter is young and energetic, when interviewing the actress Jing Yao when she died, she found that the so-called brilliant success of women was so bleak. She immediately hugged her boyfriend's thigh: I hope my husband and children will be by my side when I die. I hope someone will fight for my inheritance. I hope my sesame mung bean gem ring has a granddaughter who can't let go, claiming that it was left to her by my grandmother. I hope my grandson will discuss it with me when he gets married. I hope everyone in my husband's family and I are at odds. I hope to be a happy woman, please help me. Interesting, isn't it? Did you cry when you laughed? This is Yi Shu. She was born in Hongkong, an international metropolis, and received western education, but her bones are China's, which we think is the most intimate place for her. Putting a Yi Shu in a backpack is like putting a precious box of rouge-Yi Shu said: A woman, no matter what age or status, can't live without this box of rouge-rouge is a symbol. Women of the past, women of the present, women of this type and women of that type should all strive to make their lives better.
