? Two months after the Chinese New Year, I didn't take a vacation. I was working every day, working overtime, and naturally I didn't read many books. The apparent reason is that I have been really busy at work these two months, and I am very tired at night. I think I should have a good rest, play a game to relax, then wash and go to bed early. In fact, the game called "Survival of the Jedi", commonly known as "eat chicken", should be used to relax, but I can't stop. After completely exhausting the study time, it makes me fidget and so on. Before that, I felt very self-disciplined and arrogant. In front of this game, I was beaten back to my original shape. Laziness, indecision and repeated doubts are my true colors.
? Fortunately, my friend @ Jiang Mumu recommended me a great book lending application. At the same time, he recommended three books to me and agreed to meet and communicate together next time. Only in this way will I not fall into the emotional abyss where the excitement of eating chicken and the regret after eating chicken are intertwined.
? Jiang Mumu told me that these three books were all on Douban 17 list of good books, and two of them were published by Guangxi Normal University, and we all liked them very much. Ashamed to open watercress. The three books on the list are in the two columns of my favorite historical and cultural categories. I have no impression or concept of this list that I have read countless times. These three books are Ma Jia, Bingshen Tales and North Street. There is a long story and two short stories, all of which are China's novels.
? Jiang Mumu said that she really wanted to discuss Ma Jia with me because she couldn't feel the surprise and shock of public opinion. After reading these three books in a completely fragmented time, I was going to tell Jiang Mumu if it was amazing and shocking. I didn't feel it at all, but I got a surprise. Finally, I put up with it and didn't say anything. The reason why I didn't say it was to find a reason or an excuse for the next meeting, and I wanted to talk about this surprise first.
? Interrupt a digression. Some time ago, I watched the video of Republic, and invited Zhan Hongzhi and Jiang to talk about "studying all my life". I agree with what Jiang said to me in the dialogue. She said: "I am dressed like this now, and my mentality of studying by myself is no longer to find features, but to seek * * *. When I see something in the book that challenges me very much or makes me feel different, I am no longer excited. More importantly, I will feel happy when I find some human sexual behaviors and my own sexual behaviors in the book. " I deeply agree with this.
? What Jiang Mumu and I have about a horse is that this book carries such a highly praised book and tells a good story, but this story doesn't surprise me in terms of story, characters or writing. For me, the only surprise is that I am a little curious about a horse paper itself. The first surprise I want to say is another book, North Street. Before discussing Ma Jia with Jiang Mumu, I want to talk about this book.
? I have rarely read novels in the past two years, let alone in China, so I don't know how many books have been published by the author Li Jingrui, and I don't know why everyone calls her Ahua in Douban comments, but it really makes me feel like a sore throat. When people reach middle age, they are not only greasy, but also sad, that is, they have lost the past and can't see the future.
? Among the eight stories of Northern Avenue, the first two stories, Northern Avenue and Ai, are the most popular. If you choose another story, it is "Shahe Rising Water".
? The initial sense of substitution is a dress description in Ai: "Lin Xia is wearing a ginger trench coat, dark gray stockings, flat shoes and disheveled hair, like Tang Wei in a movie." After reading this sentence, I opened the photo album of my mobile phone. The first photo in my new mobile phone is still. Tang Wei, wearing a ginger trench coat, a printed lavender scarf and a carbon-green shoulder bag, got off a bus with 3604 on its window. That movie is called Late Autumn, 12 movie. I still believe that I watched it at least twice. At first, I thought "AI" was an abbreviation of English, but I didn't get over it until I read it. It's just a pinyin, "love" or "cancer", a wife who respects each other but doesn't know much about each other, a lover who knows each other but meets each other like a play, the quagmire of reality and the yearning for an ideal life, the frustration of the middle class and the indulgence of greed for a while. This exaggerated but almost real life is true, and "love" is also true. Most people can only choose to get married and have children and find a stable job from nine to five. Stability gives people law, and law gives people a sense of security. Marriage can prevent boredom, but it can also make people fall into another kind of boredom. You need a child at this time. Children are hope and redemption. A child is the key to breaking the separation between husband and wife. So even if we are separated and have an affair, as long as we don't tear our faces, we can still stick to it. Even if you are separated from each other in a strange strange bedfellows, you can't say that love doesn't exist. This is the real tragedy.
? The story "Shahe Rising Water" took place in Zigong, but I still can't help but think of my hometown and county. Maybe all the towns that can't be drawn online are like this. Not greasy, not sad. The happiness of ordinary people is nothing more than a stable job, a sustainable marriage and one or two children. Therefore, even if it is difficult to make a living or live in a daze, once the mission of reproduction is completed, even if the enthusiasm has long since disappeared, it can still be pushed forward by life, which is neither good nor bad. A little unwilling to be lonely, I lied about eating, drinking and a cannon that didn't cost money.
? Looking back at North Street, this article is undoubtedly the most commendable in the book. Just finished watching No One is a Guest in new york, so I know that Flushing, where the story takes place, is a slum where Asians gather. I have seen many works of people who left without saying the year, so I know the dilemma they are facing. For more than 20 years, you can say that he is poor, down and out, and has no achievements, but you can't say that he is meaningless. There are naturally historical reasons, but there are also things that he insists and sticks to for those who are struggling in a weak life. Just like middle-aged people, it is not easy to tell whether they are greasy or sad, but sometimes one sentence reveals the sense of infinite distance between two people who are covered up in intimate relationship. They are not the same kind of people. ?
