As a talented woman, Zhang Ailing deserves it. Her representative works, The First Stove of Incense, Love in the Whole City and Half-life Destiny, have described one touching and unforgettable love story after another for us.
Even Zhang Ailing's own love experience has become a hot topic in the hands of future generations. Zhang Ailing once loved Hu Lancheng deeply. Because of this love, Zhang Ailing received a lot of criticism. However, the true meaning of the proposition of love is that it has nothing to do with others.
Zhang Ailing's series of agarwood scraps are all classics. In The First Stove of Incense, she depicts a woman who sells her dignity for money, a bourgeois secular woman.
In The Second Furnace Incense, she did the opposite and created an innocent and romantic girl image. However, even the sunny figure, in Zhang Ailing's works, failed to escape the tragic fate.
Zhang Ailing wrote in the article: "A dirty story, but people are always dirty. It's dirty when you touch someone. "
When judging this story, later generations often like to use the word "dirty" to criticize the weakness of human nature excessively. I don't agree with this. I don't think even Zhang Ailing wants this.
People who have no sunshine in their hearts can't write beautiful words, and neither can Zhang Can Aileen.
She brought us a girl image as naive and romantic as a child-Xi. However, the more naive people are, the more likely they are to be "personally educated" by society, which leads to tragedy.
In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with naivety itself. Even Mrs. Mi Qiu Er is not wrong. However, her excessive doting on her daughter "hurt" them comically.
This is a tragedy and the normal state of life.
However, we can't deny the existence and universality of beauty just because of the "minority" or "universality" tragedy.
Starting with the characters in the novel: Sue, Mrs. Amy and Roger Amber, this paper analyzes the aura of human nature and the evil of human nature in the novel.
I think the significance of the existence of novels is to let us know the true meaning of life through other people's stories, to explore the secret road to human nature, and to let us all find the beliefs and values that guide us to live a good life. This is the wish of this article, and it is also the main meaning of my life.
The women in this article are meticulous. They have lived with their sister Lee Radisson, their sister Kathleen and their mother Mrs. Amy Qiu Er since childhood.
At the age of 2 1, with the help of her mother, Mrs. Mi Qiu Er, she was arranged to get married. The other is Roger Ambden, a 40-year-old university professor.
Although the marriage is completely controlled by the mother, Xiaoxi and Roger are very happy with each other. It can be said that it is a beautiful territory for lovers to be safe.
Unfortunately, on the wedding day, a dramatic event happened.
The beautiful scenery of Liangcheng, the wedding night, should have been a great event in the world. But I was not familiar with the world since I was a child, and I didn't understand the word "roommate" correctly.
What her husband Roger did was over-interpreted by her. She thinks that what her husband did to her broke her beautiful vision for many years. Her heart suddenly fell from heaven to the bottom, and her dream was completely shattered.
She regards Roger as "animal", "eroticism" and "mental derangement".
After she escaped from the wedding room, she went to the boys' dormitory. Many people think that she should not go to the boys' dormitory. What she did was obviously a revenge. She wants to destroy Roger.
But I think, I didn't expect this degree. Even at the beginning of Zhang ailing's conception, it was not so "bad".
She just hurried to find a safe place to hide.
She is a naive and inexperienced woman. Her understanding of the world is like a blank sheet of paper.
At the same time, at that time, she was angry. She made his "animal" behavior public with wishful thinking, and she wronged herself. This is her stress response.
Of course, in this small detail, Zhang Ailing is a wonderful design, because such a simple and kind person also shows the "ugly" side of human nature in a specific situation.
However, the tragedy of death was actually caused by a mistake in the boys' dormitory. Not only that, Sue admitted that Roger was a "beast" in front of his male classmates.
Then, the male students went to the headmaster and Roger's sworn enemy Morris.
Worst of all, the next day, my mother, Mrs. Qiu Er, personally took her daughters to visit Roger's colleagues.
This series of events made Roger's animal behavior a household name in their circle.
Roger lost his reputation and finally chose to commit suicide.
The details of this character image can be described as outrageous. She actually doesn't fully understand love and marriage. A large part of her understanding of the secular world stays in her fantasy level, a "Platonic" perfect love fantasy.
When she first came into contact with "sex", her dream was shattered. Because love in reality is completely different from what she imagined. She thinks "sex" defiles her love.
Everyone is born with too many limitations.
As the source of this tragedy-Mrs. Mi Qiu Er. Some people say that she is the initiator of the tragedy.
Because of the tragedy, the judges pushed her to the high platform of "evil with ulterior motives", and some even thought that she was intentional. Because of her misfortune, she really doesn't want her daughter to be happy.
Various readers' interpretations of Mrs. Mi deeply analyzed the meaning of "dirty" in Zhang Ailing's mouth.
I think Mrs Qiu Er is just a mother, while Xixi is just a naive girl. There is no right or wrong in itself. Only the untimely "marriage", "perfection" and "times" created this tragedy.
At first, Mrs. Mi Qiu Er, who was widowed in her early years, chose to find a good family for her second daughter, because she was unable to bring her three daughters back to China.
The candidate for husband was also selected by Mrs. Qiu Er. To some extent, it meets the requirements of "door to door".
On the day of her daughter's wedding, Mrs Qiu Er was very sad because she didn't want her daughter to get married. This shows her love for her daughter.
At the same time, Mrs. Mi Qiu Er's family education is very strict, and she raised her daughter into a model of a good family. Even the daily newspaper needs her to screen.
From the standpoint of Mrs. Mi Qiu Er, this is the depth of love and care. As a mother, she certainly wants her daughter to develop in a good direction. However, she thinks it is a "good" direction, but it does not meet the requirements of the times. At this point, she doesn't know.
Unfortunately, it is precisely because of Mrs. Mi Qiu Er's excessive control over her daughters that they have lived in the Garden of Eden created by themselves since childhood.
Because they can't touch what their mother doesn't want them to touch, they can only fill in the unknown information through fantasy, and over time, they have formed deep-rooted habits and cognition.
Judging from the experience of her two daughters, it is indeed the lack of sex education that led to the tragedy. Naturally, Mrs Qiu Er became the "original sin" of this tragedy.
However, if we trace back to the source, is Mrs. Mi Qiu Er's view on parenting related to her life experience and the macro and micro environment in which she grew up?
I think it is unfair to criticize Mrs. Mi Qiu Er excessively, or to draw a circle with Mrs. Mi Qiu Er as the center, infinitely enlarge this issue to the level of the whole society, and then criticize the parents of the whole society.
The reasons here are complicated, not to mention. We should not stand on the moral high ground and blame the "perpetrators" of the accident. But to have the greatest empathy and think from the perspective of the parties. Finally, solve the problem in the most scientific way to avoid the recurrence of the problem to the greatest extent. This is also the significance of our discussion on this issue.
China has advocated filial piety for five thousand years. Although we can't blindly be filial, we should fully understand the love of every mother, no matter under the moral norms or where every child should stand.
We should not criticize our parents' behavior according to our requirements, but learn to put ourselves in their shoes and understand their pain. This is also an important revelation of the Qiu Er incident. Of course, in addition, this understanding also needs a certain bottom line.
Roger is a professor engaged in university education 15 years. As mentioned in the article, he never changed his textbook during 15 years. The same joke can also be told in a specific chapter 15 years.
Such a character image is very typical. He is very comfortable and has no pursuit of life, just a mediocre life.
In fact, this is also the living condition of most people in this world-the pursuit of comfort and stability. There is no right or wrong in itself, just a personal choice.
A 40-year-old bachelor, who has worked 15 and has no wife, must have a certain threshold for his request for the other half.
And Lucy is his good partner who has been waiting for many years. She is not only young, but also has a peerless face. Her simplicity and kindness also made him feel lovely.
It's just that Roger didn't expect his wife to be too simple. This simplicity turned into a sword and killed him himself.
At the beginning of the accident, Roger chose to forgive her indiscretion, take her on holiday in advance and give her a "love education".
From this we can see that Roger has a kind heart. For the other half, you are also tolerant enough.
However, when the headmaster asked him to resign, he felt the danger signal. The friendly image he established in 15 collapsed, and he faced unemployment and needed to choose another place to settle down. All these made his spiritual world collapse.
He has the idea of divorce, and he wants to abandon the woman who wanted to "educate her about love" a second ago.
From here, we can easily see that Roger is also selfish. When Lucy's existence threatens the stability of his life, he can abandon her flatly.
However, British legislation was too harsh on divorce at that time. And he doesn't have enough ability to support two women at the same time. That all this drove him into a dead end.
Later, the appearance of Maori wife opened a window and closed a door for Roger.
When Maori's wife seduced her, he flatly refused.
This shows that he is virtuous and will be a good husband if nothing unexpected happens.
However, the Maori wife's disclosure of Millison's ex-husband showed him the way to death.
He began to realize that he might not find a job, just like him. This left him cornered.
At this point, Roger chose the simplest way to solve the problem. He committed suicide and became a coward.
However, on the whole, Roger is also a kind and excellent man. But people like him are doomed to fail. It was public opinion that killed him, and his own cowardice. His bad habits made him live comfortably and tragically.
From these three characters in the novel, it is not difficult to see that Zhang Ailing gave each character the greatest tension when portraying their personalities.
Simple and kind, but became a "vicious" killer. This gentle and great mother, Mrs. Mi Qiu Er, became the "original sin" of the tragic marriage of two daughters. Roger, a respected university professor, is just a cowardly, selfish and inactive ordinary person.
From this novel, we can easily find the truth, goodness and beauty of human nature: simple and loving, and the maternal love of Mrs. Qiu Er. It's not hard to find out how much the pressure of public opinion persecutes a person.
Too simple and meticulous, Mrs. Qiu Er's unprincipled love, everyone's partiality, misinformation and the most malicious speculation about Roger became the fuse to ignite this tragedy.
In fact, to some extent, the meaning of the existence of novels is to let us see the tragedy and the meaning behind it. At the same time, in order to lead to happiness, we should avoid these traps that lead to tragedy.
Perhaps, when changing the perspective to us, we should not cling to a person's weaknesses, but should find the truth, goodness and beauty and choose to believe them.
Behind all ugliness, it is not for us to take this as an established proposition to repeatedly demonstrate the so-called "evil" and "dirty", but to discover the beauty of human nature and believe in the beauty of human nature under the veil of evil.
And this is also the initial heart that each of us should keep, and it is the value that each of us deserves to guard and make us happy all our lives.
Lead by example, don't speculate too much about the evil of human nature, but it can't just be "silly and sweet".
We should see clearly the "evil" in the world, at the same time keep our original heart, accept the beauty in the world with the purest heart, and put on armor to protect ourselves.
