Because of its great sense of the times, the content of the novel resonated with many people in the post-70 s and post-80 s era, so it was once remake into a film and television drama.
However, the audience who like this book will never think that the female character Tian Xiaoxia in the book actually made Lu Yao cry when she died. What is this?
A fictional character born in Lu Yao's works? Tian Xiaoxia? Her parents are excellent cadres, and her status is higher than that of ordinary people. She was born with a superior material life and a good education.
Moreover, Tian Xiaoxia is a natural beauty with fine features, charming temperament, considerate and generous, and very romantic. When Sun Shaoping, a poor guy, met Tian Xiaoxia, it was doomed that a sad love story was about to begin.
So Sun Shaoping, representing the proletariat, fell in love with Tian Xiaoxia. Their love and envy for others was impossible at that time, and the contrast was very great.
However, in the novel, Lu Yao made the nearly perfect Tian Xiaoxia fall in love with Sun Shaoping, probably because he wanted to fulfill his extravagant hopes when he was young, or to satisfy the extravagant hopes that many rural youths dared not even think about.
Why did Lu Yao in the book collapse and cry because of Tian Xiaoxia's death? How many people can read it?
After the third draft of Ordinary World was completed, Lu Yao called his younger brother Wang Tianle in Luochuan. At that time, Wang Tianle was interviewing in Luochuan County when he suddenly got a call from his brother Lu Yao. Wang Tianle thought his brother was in poor health and finally rushed to Yulin. After entering the room, Lu Yao told him that Tian Xiaoxia was dead!
Wang Tianle half a day to react, Tian Xiaoxia is his characters, then Wang Tianle angry and said:
You have become a mentally retarded person. Have you ever thought that I have managed to get so little time to interview one or two manuscripts quickly? Why did such a terrible thing call me here? When people find out, they will definitely think that we are mentally ill. ? (Ma Yifu et al., Collected Works in Memory of Lu Yao, People's Literature Publishing House, 2007, p. 334. )
This unexpected move makes people think at first glance that Lu Yao has pinned his true feelings on Ordinary World, and Tian Xiaoxia is the love of his life.
Young Lu Yao and Linda
Tian Xiaoxia's new female thoughts are also very touching. In the novel, Tian Xiaoxia firmly believes that secularism is not the main reason that affects love, but the tacit understanding between them is the most important. Beautiful, she longs for true love beyond the secular concept, so when love comes, Tian Xiaoxia is brave and firm.
In this process, it is also very romantic, embellishing the love of two people with Du Lihua's promise. There are always many rich second generations who are passionate about the pursuit of beautiful women like Tian Xiaoxia, but in her eyes, these are all dude, but only Sun Shaoping's honesty and sincerity moved her.
However, due to her humble background, Sun Shaoping always showed great confidence in this relationship, which eventually hurt Tian Xiaoxia's pure heart and even shook her belief in survival.
Tian Xiaoxia's death shows that Lu Yao, the author, has reached a compromise with the cruel reality, in which the heart-wrenching pain and gap have once again impacted Lu Yao's mind.
Many readers say? Stop talking about the distance, I cried, too! ?
This is related to Lu Yao's love in those days. Young Lu Yao is madly in love with Lin Hong. When he firmly believed that this relationship could last for a long time, he received a cruel breakup letter. The heartbroken Lu Yao once thought of suicide.
I even began to question that love that is divorced from the secular has never existed. In the end, Lu Yao could only choose to marry Linda, another educated youth who came into his life.
Lu Yao's spiritual love for Lin Hong was always hidden in his heart. It was not until he began to write "Ordinary World" and wrote Tian Xiaoxia to death in the book that the deep feelings buried in his heart could be aroused. After a while, he couldn't help himself and burst into tears.
Some people say that it is precisely because of Lu Yao's personality that he has lived a rough life since childhood, but he still grew up tenaciously in the wind and rain, which fully embodies the masculinity of men in northern Shaanxi.
In the process of writing "Ordinary World", even if he is tired and hard, he will not say that he is tired. Many novel plots have to be experienced personally to find feelings and feelings.
For example, Sun Shaoping, the male owner, is a miner. He often goes underground to mine. In order to write his true feelings, the author Lu Yao went underground to experience the life of mining. Later, his body became weaker and weaker, and he still insisted on writing this novel under the torture of illness.
And the role of Tian Xiaoxia, is the most can't let go of a role.
Tian Xiaoxia in the book is not only beautiful and romantic, but also extremely? Masculinity? I believe that my life is not decided by heaven, I have independent thoughts and free spirit, I have great ambitions, and I am not influenced by secular rules and regulations.
Politically, Tian Xiaoxia showed extraordinary talents and ideals, which fully reflected Lu Yao's political ambitions.
I remember that in 2007, the writer Mr. Jia Pingwa published an article in memory of Lu Yao, in which he said that Lu Yao was an outstanding contemporary writer, an outstanding politician and a man full of masculinity.
At the same time, he compared Lu Yao to contemporary Kuafu, and finally embarked on the road of no return.
This shows that even Mr. Jia Pingwa saw that Lu Yao's spirit and hope were dead. In Ordinary World, it is often Lu Yao who expresses his feelings and experiences through the characters in the novel.
In that case, why did Lu Yao write Tian Xiaoxia to death?
About Tian Xiaoxia's death, it was a sudden flood, which washed away the farmers' crops, invaded the village crazily, washed away the poultry at home, and the little girl who had no time to escape fell into the water tragically. At this time, Tian Xiaoxia saw it and immediately put it into the flood to salvage the little girl. Unexpectedly, the flood was merciless, and Tian Xiaoxia was swept away by the flood. Finally, this excellent woman was declared dead.
Sun Shaoping's love with her is over. If there is no scene where Tian Xiaoxia was washed away by the flood, there are two possibilities for the next love ending.
First, Lu Yao may let Sun Shaoping and Tian Xiaoxia get married, live a happy married life together, fight for a well-off life together, and even have children of their own.
Another possibility is that Sun Shaoping, who felt inferior, could not bear the pressure and chose to break up with Tian Xiaoxia. The woman was heartbroken and married a rich second generation, which proved that the ideal love between the poor boy and the princess is always the bubble of dreams.
But no matter which outcome will cause controversy, the author Lu Yao may make this romantic love last forever, so he accidentally took Tian Xiaoxia away, trying to keep the ideal pure love forever at that moment.
In fact, this is also the main performance of Ordinary World. If Tian Xiaoxia had not died, it would have caused conflicts in all aspects of the whole book. For example, after being with Shao Ping, will Shao Ping go to work in the coal mine? Not going, not going.
Writing Tian Xiaoxia to death can completely achieve what Lu Yao wants to express in his book.
I have to say that Lu Yao really put a lot of effort into writing Ordinary World. Although there are no flowery words, he has a good grasp of the story layout, plot tension, narrative logic and everyone's quality.
