"In a few years, facing the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendia will remember the distant afternoon when his father took him to see the ice sheet." Garcí a Má rquez wrote at the beginning of his masterpiece One Hundred Years of Solitude. Colonel Buendia's memory is like a drop of ink on rice paper, which cannot be rendered without stopping.

Just as the title of One Hundred Years of Solitude gives people a feeling, in the opening paragraph, Marquez lengthens time and space, giving readers a magical feeling of being divorced from real time.

1999, Marquez began to write One Hundred Years of Solitude, and the novel was published on 1997 on September 29th. In 982, Nobel Prize in Literature awarded Marquez. Marquez once said: "To live is to tell life that life is not a person's experience, but his memory." The almost mythical world described in One Hundred Years of Solitude contains an allusion to the true history of Latin American countries in Marquez's childhood, which is a microcosm of the century-old changes of modern Latin American society and the spiritual consciousness of Latin American people, and also incorporates the struggle history and concentrated experience and spirit of human survival for a hundred years. At the same time, it also puts forward some thoughts and discussions on the future development and social destiny of modern people. The connotation of all this makes One Hundred Years of Solitude an epic work.

The plot of this novel is bizarre and confusing. In the small town of Magondeau, the Buendia family staged a hundred years of ups and downs. This family turned from decline to prosperity, and from prosperity to decline. After a hundred years of history, it has turned around and returned to its original appearance. Nothing can escape the curse. Huo A. Buendia married his cousin Wusu, and Asula refused to share a room with Huo A. Buendia for fear that she would give birth to a child with a pig's tail like marrying her uncle during menstruation. When Boondia's neighbor had an argument, Boondia killed his neighbor because he laughed at him for refusing to share a room with Ursula. Therefore, the ghost of the deceased harassed Burundians day and night, and Burundians were forced to move to the town of Magondeau. At first, the Buendia family flourished, but with the outbreak of civil war and the invasion of foreign enemies, Buendia's fate took a turn for the worse, and even 32 indigenous uprisings led by Colonel Aureliano Buendia ended in failure. By the time of the sixth generation of Aureliano Buendia, because she married her aunt Ursula, she gave birth to a baby girl with a long tail, which happened to fulfill the code written on parchment by gypsies in Sanskrit one hundred years ago, and the decipherer of this code was Colonel Aureliano Buendia himself. This is undoubtedly full of irony. And this baby girl with a tail was bitten by an ant and dragged into the nest. Then, the town of Magondeau disappeared in a hurricane.

As a representative of realistic literature, One Hundred Years of Solitude stands out in the history of Latin American literature with its complex background and bizarre plot, and its works are full of ideal brilliance. Strange things happened in the distant town of Magondeau: Aureliano led 32 uprisings and failed; The sixth generation Aureliano Bendia continued to weave the shroud in his later years; Aureliano's second is to constantly repair doors and windows; Remedes, a beautiful girl, takes a bath several times a day; A sudden rain in the town of Magondeau lasted for four years, eleven months and two days. In the next ten years, it didn't rain in Magondeau. People in the Buendia family are obsessed with Humel Gardez's magnet and have been fooled repeatedly; The seventh generation Aureliano is a baby girl, who was born with a tail, but was bitten by an ant and dragged into the nest. Then a hurricane swept away the town of Magondeau, taking everything away, exceeding the two-day rainstorm that lasted for four years and eleven months ... It always gives people a very unreal and unreal feeling to read. The century-long changes in Magondeau and the rise and fall of the Buendia family are a mirror of social changes in Latin America. Due to the civil war and foreign enemies, Buendia's stable life vanished in an instant, and the fate of the family took a turn for the worse. Correspondingly, in Latin America, there are also many civil wars and invasions by European and American colonists. At the same time, the ignorance of the family also reflects the backwardness of Latin America itself: the disorder of family members is linked to the low civilization of Latin America. Facing backwardness and ignorance, the Buendia family is not pursuing change, but just facing the past and waiting for the reappearance of "pigtail". This lack of progress will only lead to the backwardness of Magondeau and the decline of the Buendia family, which will eventually be blown away by a hurricane. Similarly, it seems to imply that Latin Americans will only face the fate of being eliminated if they don't change.

At the end of the novel, the Boondia family disappeared in a hurricane with the town of Magondeau. Marquez wrote at the end of One Hundred Years of Solitude: "At the last moment when Aureliano Buendia finished translating the parchment manuscript, the mirror-like (or mirage-like) town of Magondeau will be swept away from the ground by the hurricane. It will be completely erased from people's memory, and everything recorded in the parchment manuscript will never reappear. Families that have suffered from loneliness for a hundred years are destined not to appear on the earth for the second time. " The author's attitude towards backwardness and ignorance is completely negative, so he arranged a hurricane team to thoroughly clean up the old things. One Hundred Years of Solitude not only means the long-term backwardness of Latin America, but also reflects the author's mentality from one aspect: the long wait for progress and advancement. A hundred years of loneliness, a hundred years of waiting. As for whether there will be backwardness and poverty after this, there is no clear answer, but Marquez's wish is beautiful: "A family that has suffered from loneliness for a hundred years is doomed not to appear on the earth for the second time."

The yearning for dreams and glory, for independence and freedom, in Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude, the pursuit and hope in reality transcends the illusion of form and finds a perfect combination.
