(Work: Green Touch by Bai Xianyong, included in Taipei People, Guangxi Normal University Press, 20 15 1).
After Xiao Gu's death, Zhu Qing repeatedly shouted her favorite song "Make a comeback" on the mahjong table. At the end of the novel Touching Green, Bai Xianyong used the word "Rang" to describe the inner pain of a crazy woman. This woman's love is true, love is not easy, love is simple, love is firm. She had a short marriage, and also had a suitor who "listened to her command and did something heavy". Although they all died of bad luck, they wrote ordinary and brilliant youth with unique feelings in the troubled times of war and in a foreign land full of homesickness.
Zhu Qing, the heroine of the novel Touch Green. Bai Xianyong introduces this woman like gone with the wind through the narrative of the first person "I". "I" lived in Renai East Village with the Acropolis when I won the Anti-Japanese War and was still in Nanjing. In the first paragraph of the novel, the author not only explains the narrator's "I" and the background of the times in euphoric language, but also summarizes the dangerous living state of the little people in the bonfire years and the sudden change of their living state after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War with refined words such as "occlusion", "suffering" and "sudden". This change symbolizes the simple happiness when "I" returned to my old capital. By using the repetitive sentence pattern of "everywhere", I will inevitably revisit my old capital. At this moment, my heart is full of joy and self-esteem.
Cheng Wei is an air force captain, and his students naturally call me the teacher's mother. This kind of address is a courtesy and the author's respect for tradition. Bai Xianyong's literati feelings make his words exude a strong humanistic atmosphere, and his respect and reservation for tradition connects a channel to meet the classics at present. Therefore, the romantic love between Zhu Qing and Guo Ke has the classical charm of literati. Against this background, the first time I met Zhu Qing was "greatly unexpected". Zhu Qing's impression of "I" is neither Miss De Maud nor a first-class figure, but "a thin girl in her late teens". Under the description of Zhu Qing's appearance, we can see that the author cherishes this character, because this woman "has a beautiful water show on her brow", like a piece of jade in a classical family, evokes the pain and pity of "me" and makes readers feel the peace between the lines.
At this point, the love between Zhu Qing and Guo Ti is enviably simple, just as time has stopped for them. Guo Ti flew to Zhu Qing's Jinling Girls' Middle School while practicing the plane, where she hit the rotor, so she was recorded. Guo Yi, who remembered, explained to me, "I am flying in the sky, and my heart is following her on the ground." Guo Ti used a simple confession of love to overshadow the light of all love declarations in the world, but did not overshadow the roar of gunfire and the rekindling of war.
Before Zhu Qing and Guo Ti could go to Hangzhou for their honeymoon, Guo Ti flew to the battlefield. "I" will go to Zhu Qingjia after Cheng Wei and Guo Ti leave. Here, the author shows several newly painted living rooms in detail. As far as I can see, "the living room is still dressed like a new house", and the detailed description of the living room furnishings implies that the love between a couple is not easy and true. It is not easy to show value, but it is true to cherish it. Bai Xianyong created the peace of love with exquisite skills, and the furnishings of the new house showed the interest of life everywhere. Life full of interest is bound to be associated with peaceful days, but the ensuing chaos makes the characters in Bai Xianyong feel nervous and threatened.
"I" heard the sound of trucks dragging luggage outside the new house, the harsh sound of chains hitting, the screams of women and the cries of children. These voices converge into an anxious symphony, echoing the sad life experiences of the wives of the small air force later. Although "I" seems to be atmospheric, I am actually holding a tight heartstring and still paying attention to the trend of the Acropolis. In the process of easing this tension, the author inserted the life story of the wives of the small air force. Under the common sayings of "I" and Zhu Qing, the cruelty of war became clear through women's tossing about the "life story", and the perseverance of the little people in troubled times also had a real and tangible concrete image.
As the wife of General Fei, "I" clearly told,
General Fei's wife is not easy to be For 24 hours, that heart hung in the air. Even if your eyes look at the sky and bleed, people in the world may not know that day. ..... Zhu Qing, don't blame me. To tell the truth, you have to bear the future risks mercilessly.
A few honest "I" words calmly hit Zhu Qing's ignorance and gentleness, but after Guo Qi was killed, she was defeated in the fusion of love and the rejection of love.
Bai Xianyong condensed the scene of classical love on Zhu Qing, and performed a sad love song in the era of war. After Guo Ti died in battle, Zhu Qing's death ended a short and luxurious love. It is like a very fresh bud, which withers before it blooms its elegance and brilliance.
The fading love between Bai Xianyong and Guo Qiu is a kind of melancholy that keeps pace with the times. It firmly grasped the body and mind of people who are still alive like Zhu Qinghe and "I" and witnessed the fate of the same name, but with eyes that have witnessed vicissitudes, things are different.
During these years in Taipei, I still lived in a family area called Ren 'ai East Village. The coincidence of the names of residential areas in Nanjing and Taipei has started the change and cycle of "fate". In Renai East Village, "people have moved from all directions, and people they used to know don't know where to go." Past lives's feelings turned the heavy fate of migration into faint words, which explained the adaptation and softness of life after it was dull. In those quiet days that are easy to pass away, "I" quietly looked at everything around me. From the calm perspective of "I", the young men in the Air Force were different from the small air force in Nanjing at that time. The current narrative echoes the incomplete past events in memory. The use of contrast puts the group images of the past and the present in the perspective of "I" to examine the different spiritual representations of characters in different historical periods, which gives a reasonable explanation for the drastic changes in Zhu Qing.
The novel Green Touch is divided into two parts: the past of Nanjing and the present of Taipei. This is like two chapters in a poem. The first chapter expresses the grief in troubled times in my memory, and the second chapter combines the incomprehension and lament of "I" and shed tears of sympathy for Zhu Qing in the great changes. The words in the novel are fresh, the rhythm is gentle, and a faint homesickness is the melody of Dongshan with a touch of green, which shows the wandering people's deep yearning for their homeland. Miss resides in Mapo Tofu, a famous dish in Zhu Qing's hometown. When Zhu Qing arrived in Taipei, she treated it as a kind of hospitality, and a strong homesickness was rendered in the depths of the text through this dish. This is Zhu Qing, who is in charge of Xiao Gu's funeral. In my eyes, she vaguely has a kind of "strange youth and coolness". It's just like the woman with a beautiful eyebrow and eyes in Nanjing, but instead of Guo Ke, she is a little Gu who is willing to "listen to her and do great things".
Xiao Gu is an air force boy who came to Taipei for a holiday from Taoyuan base, as well as "Liu Sao Bao" and "Wang Xiao Pediatrics". They were all introduced to me by Zhu Qing, and "they yelled at my teacher's mother to wake her up". "Teacher Niang", a distant title, belongs to a past that cannot be reproduced. This past event, when I came to Taiwan Province Province, I was busy living every day and bent down to beg for a living, turned into a blurred image. Zhu Qing awakened my memory of the past and my rethinking of Zhu Qing. Under the examination of "I", Zhu Qing, with plump cheeks and tight and smooth skin, "can also sing white light". At the entertainment party of Xinshengshe, Zhu Qing clearly sang "Make a comeback", but her figure was "distorted". In this contrast, the bohemian Zhu Qing reflects my poverty, and both tradition and classicism have become lost dust in the face of the drastic changes in current life. Fortunately, there are very few cases, such as Xiao Gu, who is decent and thick, not as smooth as Liu Sao Bao and He. The tie between Zhu Qing and Xiao Gu has the shadow of Zhu Qing and Guo Qiu, but it lacks the charm that matches the day of "24 hours, my heart is hanging in the sky".
Bai Xianyong narrates the present with "I", which arouses readers' imagination. My busy life in Taiwan Province is not a microcosm, from which we can get a clearer glimpse of Zhu Qing. Zhu Qing, in a foreign land without support, buried her past self and her heart was dead. Similar to "me", Zhu Qing bent down to make a living, so he mixed in the entertainment team. A word "mixed" has too many grievances and struggles, but it also contains the sadness that no one tells. Xiao Gu loves nothing but playing mahjong, except being rude and slippery. By Zhu Qing's side, this man, as a reminiscence and symbol of a short and beautiful day in the past, is hard to have a profound spiritual life and communication with Zhu Qing. Therefore, after Xiao Gu's plane crash and her death, Zhu Qing expressed a commendable kindness to Xiao Gu, and the pain brought to this woman by this difficult world is still a strong homesickness.
Homesickness made Zhu Qing crazy about the good luck on the mahjong table. After eight laps, the chips became three to one, and Zhu Qing won the game. She "curled her mouth and shouted the song" Dongshan is a touch of green "that she often loves to sing." In my opinion, this woman covered up her inner pain with her dissolute figure, but let the pain carve a sadder impression in her heart. After a while, Zhu Qing hummed two lyrics: love, hate, separation, joys and sorrows, looking back on the past and lingering homesickness.
