Book Review
Liang Wendao talked about "Flowers Bloom in Shanghai", saying that the dialogue between Tao Tao and Hu Sheng at the beginning was the state of the book: they met in Jing 'an Temple vegetable market, Tao Tao held Hu Sheng to talk about life, and Hu Sheng was held by Tao Tao many times. This state is actually the state of the whole book. The storyteller wants to tell a story, but the listener has lost the patience to listen to the story, but he pulls you and says, "How beautiful the scenery is here, it's bright outside, the shed is dark and the recliner is very low." I have to wait and see, and I have to rely on it. " After drinking a cup of tea, things will be said slowly, and the detained readers will feel it later. This state is "a person eating hairy crabs, and his mood is strong." "

It is true that flowers bloom in Shanghai. In this way, one story leads to another story, and one character leads to another story. At first, you didn't pay attention to the plot, flying one by one. There is thick oil and red sauce in the house, and there are singing boats on the Huangpu River outside the house. There are so many people and the lights are on. Someone is always falling and life is moving inside.

There are two time lines in Shanghai, the odd chapter is about the vagaries of childhood, and the even chapter is about the bohemian above the dinner in the 1990 s At first glance, I like odd chapters. Po and Betty discuss collecting stamps and reciting flower names. Shuhua puts down her schoolbag and mumbles. Kittens practice. Shanghai students go to class through hutong. This is the most normal way of life, with a kind of "simplicity" in the sun. The following times are magnificent, people's lives are still moving slowly, communication is still normal, the sun is still shining, and the trajectory of life walks naturally and slowly, just like a snail crawling over leaves, leaving an invisible trace, and it is difficult to judge whether it is offset. Obstacles in life will not stop life, everyone is still experiencing progress, under the sunshine.

The story of even chapters tells the story of the prodigal son wandering at night, the skirts of the ladies at the ballroom banquet, and the falling melon seeds. The stories told in eating, drinking and having fun are bizarre, and every sentence in the cup has ulterior motives. Everyone is marching in normal life and habitually deviating from the rules. Silence is one's habit. In the affair with Meirui, Kang remained silent all the time. Po is polite to all women, but he never gets married. Hu Sheng always smiles when she is not divorced. A woman's habit is depravity, and Li Li later escaped into an empty net. Miss Wang may be pregnant with a freak and fall off the balcony and die. I think the so-called "flowers" belong to the female characters in the book, Meirui, Miss Wang, Xuezhi, Shuhua ... They bloom, wither, fly and fall in the silence of human beings in the book. There is no romantic love constructed by modern mainstream discourse in the book. It can even be said that all the feelings or love in it are embarrassing, the relationship between men and women is embarrassing, and life is embarrassing.

Jin Yucheng talked about an important thrust of the writing of Flowers Blooming in Shanghai: one day in 20 1 1, he passed the footbridge at the intersection of Shanghai Yan 'an Road Elevated and Shaanxi South Road and accidentally saw a woman standing there. She is very old and sells children's shoes and socks. Jin Yucheng recognized this woman as "the most famous beauty in Jing 'an Temple in my youth". This vague impression of his youth was compared by him to the young people's infatuation with older beauties in the film The Beautiful Legend of Sicily. Jin Yucheng said that "the beauty of Jing 'an Temple" did not become a concrete image in the novel, but became an emotion of "flowers are rare", which also became a fate temperament carried by every female character in the novel. Generally speaking, I feel that the fate of female characters has inevitably entered a "tragedy", while male characters are still living as usual, but they can obviously feel the glory of female characters during reading. This may be the deliberate setting of Jinyucheng to complete the record of a flower from blooming to withering.

Seeing the flowers bloom in Shanghai, I always feel that I have a thousand words to turn into a dove and fly out, but opening my mouth can only be attributed to "silence." The written word 1000 is just talking to myself, for fear that no one can understand it and make a sound.
