Sun Shaoan: First of all, we should admire his sense of responsibility and dedication to his family. After graduating from primary school, I dropped out of school and went home, and began to bear the burden of life with my father. This spirit of courage and self-sacrifice is beyond the reach of those so-called wise men. Here, we see a teenager who has understood that his spiritual pillar is love. Of course, with the growth of age, this spiritual pillar will expand into affection, friendship and love. This is a doer of life without theoretical guidance, a visionary of reform and a representative of outstanding farmers. After contracting a brick factory and becoming a "farmer entrepreneur", he built a school for his village. Such a "peasant entrepreneur" can already control money in this way, which makes us sigh that the real quality, ability and view on money are only true from the textbooks of life.
Sun: People are as their names suggest. We don't mention how this simple farmer is not afraid of hardship all his life, which is also possessed by many people in rural areas of China. This is a trait, but it is not his "patent trait". This old man who has never changed his poverty with his life's experience and efforts, his poverty is caused by the social system and cannot be simply attributed to a person's fate and ability. His patent feature is that he knows how to be a father. Seeing the child's grades, he will be happier than the child. When their child is in pain, he will suffer more than them. When a father pours all his love into his children and proves that he is a kind and sincere person, we will know what a real father is. His children, because they grew up in love, also have the ability to accept love and give love to people around them. The excellence of Sun Shaoping, Sun Shaoan and Sun Lanxiang is directly related to their family environment. Sun has been poor for most of his life, and his wealth is his children.
Tian Runye: Just like a student who gets high marks in her class, knowledge has given her a stable job, but it has not given her a clear outlook on life. Because of her grandfather's persuasion and her love for her second father, she married Li Xiangqian. On the one hand, her judgment and grasp of her own destiny is not high enough; On the other hand, she stubbornly refused to accept her marriage, so both she and her husband became victims of this marriage. She has the kindness, enthusiasm, simplicity and deep-rooted feudal thoughts of China women. Of course, Li Xiang lost his legs back and forth, and they lived happily, so I won't comment here.
Tian Xiaoxia-Male Spiritual Mentor
Tian Xiaoxia was born in a cadre's family, and the rich family made her not be trapped by food and clothing like the protagonist Sun Shaoping. More importantly, under the influence of such a family, her ideological realm and internal quality far exceed those of her peers.
If we carefully study the lens of Sun Tian's first meeting, we will get the impression that Tian Xiaoxia is confident, enthusiastic and active at this time, while Sun Shaoping has become as clumsy as a farmer in front of such a "handsome and beautifully dressed female classmate". At this time, Sun Shaoping's intelligence and vision have not been fully developed. It is Tian Xiaoxia who makes this rough jade shine.
Tian Xiaoxia has the ability to think independently in high school. "Seeing problems is often different from the general view of society, or even the opposite." At this time, Sun Shaoping "can open a window for his own soul every time he talks to her". Sun Shaoping has begun to consciously accept Tian Xiaoxia's advice, while Tian Xiaoxia has found Sun Shaoping's distinctive "temperament" with a unique eye and consciously guided it.
He Xiulian's appearance was concentrated in two times. The first time was before and after her marriage with Sun Shaoan. It mainly introduced He Xiulian's character and girlish feelings, as well as her love after her marriage with Sun Shaoan. At this time, He Xiulian embodies his wife's femininity. The second time is the start-up stage of Sun Shaoan. More precisely, after Sun Shaoan's initial business failure, she became Sun Shaoan's spiritual pillar and strong backing, doing everything possible to help her husband out of the trough, but in the end she got lung cancer because of overwork.
The author places deep sympathy and pity on this traditional woman. Compared with Tian Xiaoxia, who is as innocent as a saint, she is just an ordinary working woman. She even retains some inherent shortcomings of rural women, such as separation. But her love for her husband, filial piety for her in-laws and hard work for her family all make us sincerely respect her, and some shortcomings also make her image more full and true.
Subordination and Marginal Status —— An Overview of Female Images in Ordinary World
The women in "Ordinary World" are mostly in a subordinate and marginal position in the male world, which is similar to the situation in martial arts novels: although they may be beautiful, smart and martial arts ... they are just the objects pursued by men and enrich the vase of the story. This is the biggest regret of the book Ordinary World.
For example, Tian Xiaoxia, the whole meaning of her existence is to inspire and guide Sun Shaoping. Besides, she has no self-worth and personal world. As a reporter of a provincial newspaper, under the great changes in urban and rural areas in the early 1980s, I can fully display my talents and realize the value of my life. But the only description of her work in this book is that she visited Sun Shaoping in the coal mine and saved her life. And her feelings with her colleague Gao Lang, who could have spied into Tian Xiaoxia's rich inner world through this incident, but only let her gently refuse.
And Jin Xiu, a beautiful and excellent female college student like Tian Xiaoxia. What is the meaning of her existence? Just to prove that after losing Tian Xiaoxia, Sun Shaoping still has no shortage of high-level female pursuits.
Tian Runye is a well-informed, dignified and refined woman. When her love was rejected by Sun Shaoan, before and after she married Li Xiang against her will, she became a devil in Shesidi, tormenting not only herself, but also Li Xiangqian and her loved ones. She was completely caught up in the emotional entanglements with two men, and did not see the elegance and achievements of a major cadre in a prefecture-level city. Compared with Wu, who was able to get out of the trough quickly after being betrayed by his wife, Tian Runye didn't wake up until her husband was in a car accident.
Only Sun Lanxiang is different from other women-she doesn't exist for a man. She has been self-reliant and confident since she was a child, with extraordinary talent and beauty. If we can focus on shaping, she will be a glorious image of intellectual women in a new era. But unfortunately, the author is hesitant about this and cherishes ink like gold.
