What is a child most afraid of?
I think it's a parting. They are easy to get close to, but once they get close, they are very reluctant to leave. Childhood memories will grow up with the child and cannot be faded.
When Lin Haiyin was 7 years old, his family was forced to move to Beijing because his hometown of Taiwan was occupied by the Japanese.
Here, Lin Haiyin's unforgettable childhood was left.
Later, Lin Haiyin wrote her childhood - "Old Things in the South of the City" based on her memory, and published it in 1960.
The book was also adapted into a movie in 1983 and was rated by netizens as the most innocent movie of the twentieth century.
The story takes place in Beijing in the 20s of the 20th century, and the 6-year-old protagonist Yingzi moved to Beijing with his parents to live. Here, she made some friends, however, they left her one by one.
Some people say that parting is to meet better, but the world is impermanent, and some partings are never seen again.
Yingzi experienced the pain of parting again and again, and grew up in parting again and again.
Parting is a trick of fateTragic
When Yingzi was six years old, her family moved from Taiwan to the south of Beijing.
In one of the alleys of Yingzi's house, there is a Hui'an Pavilion, which is a hotel in today's terms. There is a "crazy woman" in the Hui'an Pavilion, she often stands at the door and looks, and everyone avoids her.
Yingzi, who was full of curiosity, wanted to go in every time he passed by the Hui'an Pavilion, but every time he was pulled away by the servant Song Ma.
Once, when Yingzi was going to buy vegetables for Song's mother, she came to the Hui'an Pavilion alone, and the crazy woman happened to be standing at the door, and she let Yingzi into the house to play.
During the conversation, Yingzi learns that the crazy woman's name is Xiuzhen, and she got along with Sikang who was boarding at home six years ago. Sicong was still a college student at the time, and suddenly he received the news that his mother was seriously ill and wanted to rush back to the countryside to visit his mother immediately.
At that time, Xiuzhen was already pregnant, and she did not tell Sikang the news of her pregnancy, and had been waiting for Sikang to return.
Under feudal etiquette, unmarried pregnancy would bring shame to the family. When Su-jeong's mother found out that she was pregnant, she took her to live in a temple where she gave birth to a baby girl, Katsurako.
The mother discarded Xiao Guizi without telling Xiuzhen, and Xiuzhen became crazy and crazy like this.
Now, Xiuzhen regards the annual report of a child holding a red carp on the wall all day long as Xiao Guizi, and asks Yingzi to help her try on clothes, and she wants to make clothes for Xiao Guizi according to the size of Yingzi's body.
Everyone else thinks of Su-jung as a madman, but only Eiko regards her as a friend.
Later, Yingzi often went to play with Xiuzhen, and Xiuzhen would tell her the story of Sikang and Xiao Guizi.
Xiuzhen said that Xiao Guizi had a cyan birthmark on the back of her neck, and asked Yingzi to help her find Xiao Guizi back, and then take Xiao Guizi to find Sikang together.
Yingzi felt that this story was familiar, and she felt that Xiuzhen's crying face was familiar, and she thought of her good friend Niu'er who was the same age as her.
Niu'er once said that she was not born to her parents, and her adoptive father picked her up next to a temple and often beat her, and she was going to run away from home to find her biological parents.
Yingzi felt that the story of Niu'er and Xiuzhen was intertwined, she thought that Niu'er was Xiuzhen's child, and then looked at the back of Niu'er's neck, and sure enough, there was a cyan birthmark.
In this way, Yingzi helped Niu'er find her biological mother and Xiuzhen found her child.
With the help of Yingzi, Xiuzhen hurried to the train station with Niu'er to find Sikang.
Eiko fainted on the way to see them off, and lay in the hospital for ten days before waking up.
When Yingzi woke up, she heard the news that a mother and daughter had died under the train wheels, and it turned out that Xiuzhen was taken for a trafficker and a thief, and Yingzi's family also moved out of the alley.
Yishu said in "Round Dance": "It is difficult for people's fate to be manipulated by themselves, and there are many unavoidable things that will be issued. ”
Xiuzhen and Niu'er stepped on that train full of hope, only to die under the train's wheels;Yingzi kindly helped Xiuzhen's mother and daughter reunite, but unexpectedly killed them.
Many things always backfire, and they are clearly caught, but they are lost in an instant.
Parting is the beginning of letting go of the burden and being a new person
Yingzi's family moved to Shuilianzi Hutong, which contained an empty haunted house and a clearing overgrown with tall grass.
Thieves are often bustling in Shuilianzi Hutong, and every day there are rumors about how many items have been stolen from someone's house.
One day, two children from the neighbor's house were playing football in the alley, which affected their father's lunch break, and Yingzi went out to try to get rid of them, and one child kicked the ball into the grass, and he asked Yingzi to go in and pick up the ball.
Eiko went into the grass and found a bag of things there with a clock in it, but she didn't dare to linger too long and ran out because she was afraid.
The next day, the things in the grass reappeared in Eiko's mind, and she ran to the grass again after school.
This time, she saw a man in the grass. After the man confirmed that Yingzi would not leak the matter, he told her his story.
The man said that he was forced to steal, he had to support his mother, who was almost blind, and also provided for his younger brother to study, and his younger brother did well in his studies, and won the first place every year, he was proud of his younger brother, and he would send him abroad to study in the future.
At a graduation farewell party held by the school, Yingzi saw the sixth-grader who won the first place, and the man sitting in the grass in the family seat of the audience, and the man really didn't lie to her.
After that, Yingzi often went to the grass to chat with men, he felt that men were not bad, and he could talk to him very well.
Once, Yingzi went to the grass and didn't see a man, but picked up a small Buddha statue in the grass, she took the Buddha statue in her hand, and when she walked on the road, a middle-aged man saw the Buddha statue in her hand, and asked her what she got from **, Yingzi pointed to the location of the grass.
Yingzi didn't think that this guidance would reveal the location of the thief.
The next day she went to the bushes and saw the man's panicked expression, and the man told him that the things in the bushes were missing and asked her if she had moved.
Yingzi said that she had not moved. Not long after she left, the man was arrested.
It turned out that the middle-aged man Yingzi met on the road that day was a plainclothes policeman, and Yingzi's guidance helped him solve the case.
Yingzi hid in the crowd and looked at the man who came out of the grass, and the man also saw Yingzi, but the man didn't blame Yingzi, and smiled at her, and the whole person was relieved.
This time, it was Yingzi's parting with the man, and it was also the man's re-embarkation on the road to becoming a good person again.
In fact, the man had every chance to run away after discovering that the thing was missing, but he did not run away, but waited for the police to find him. Because he wants to unload his baggage and become a new man.
He once asked Yingzi whether he was a good person or a bad person, and Yingzi said that he would not distinguish between good people and bad people, as indistinguishable as the blue sky and the sea. Yingzi's words touched him and gave him the courage to be a new man.
Romain Rolland said, "Doing good with the good will make him gooder, and doing good with the wicked will make him more evil." ”
Kind people always influence others in their every move, word and word.
Parting is the parting of family affection
Yingzi's father is very friendly, often taking in some students in distress, Uncle Dexian lived in Yingzi's house for a long time, every time the wind outside is tight, he hides at home.
Dad also took in Aunt Lan, who was sold by her parents when she was three years old, and has been working in the dance hall since she grew up, and it was there that Aunt Lan met Brother Shi, who was fifty years older than her, and later became Brother Shi's aunt's wife.
Aunt Lan was often beaten by Brother Shi, and now she finally couldn't bear it anymore and ran out of Brother Shi and stayed at Yingzi's house.
Aunt Lan can dress up, talk, and often take Yingzi to the Chengnan Amusement Park to play, and Yingzi likes her very much.
One day, Yingzi saw Aunt Lan and her father smoking big cigarettes in the room. Mom was cooking in the kitchen with a big belly, and Dad and Aunt Lan were so happy and intimate, which suddenly made Yingzi feel disgusted and upset for her mother.
So, Yingzi thought of matching Aunt Lan and Uncle Dexian. She praised Uncle Dexian in front of Aunt Lan, and said that Aunt Lan was good in front of Uncle Dexian, and in this way, the two went from ignoring each other to having a good impression.
Every time they go on a date, Eiko acts as a middleman to match.
After they confirmed their relationship, Uncle Dexian left with Aunt Lan. Yingzi was very reluctant, Aunt Lan and Uncle Dexian were already like relatives in her heart.
Not long after Aunt Lan and Uncle Dexian left, Mother Song was also leaving.
Song's mother has a son and a daughter, not long after her daughter was born, Song's mother went to Yingzi's house to be a wet nurse, the child was taken by her husband Huang Ban'erya, and Song's mother was responsible for making money to support the family.
Originally, Song's mother went back to her hometown to visit her children every year and four months, but every year Yingzi's mother was giving birth to a baby, and Song's mother couldn't worry about Yingzi's sisters and brothers, so she never went back, and was replaced by her husband Huang Ban'er to visit her.
Every time Huang Ban'er came to bring jujubes from the countryside, Song's mother brought him back all her wages.
During this time, Song's mother always felt uneasy, and every time she asked Huang Ban'er how the child was, he said that the child was fine.
This time, Huang Ban'er came over, and under Song's mother's repeated questioning, he told the truth.
Song's mother's son drowned, and her daughter was given away not long after she was born.
Yingzi's parents were also very sad to hear the news of Song's mother's loss of their children, they asked Song's mother and Huang Ban'er to go home and live a good life, the child can be reborn if there is no child, and if you can't lose your child, you will lose hope in life.
Later, Song's mother followed Huang Ban'er back to her hometown and gave birth to two sons.
Watching the people around him leave one by one, even though Yingzi was reluctant to give up in his heart, he had to face parting again, Mother Song, Aunt Lan, and Uncle Dexian all left with hope for life.
But this time it was Daddy's turn to leave.
In the year that Yingzi graduated from elementary school, her father's lung disease worsened, and Yingzi passed away when he returned from the graduation ceremony at school.
Since then, Eiko, as an older sister, has had to carry the burden of the family, and her childhood has ended.
Dad's words have been encouraging her to move forward:"No matter what difficulties you encounter, just do it head-on, and you will get through. ”
There is a first time in everything, and every step I take gives me more confidence and courageWith every step, we grow.
Looking back at Yingzi's first parting with Xiuzhen and Niu'er, it was a heartache, when others called Xiuzhen crazy, she felt very harsh, she didn't understand why the adult world couldn't be simpler, and always looked at people with colored glasses. With less suspicion and more sincerity, maybe Xiuzhen and Niu'er will not end up like this.
Parting with the man in the grass was an accident of "unintentionally planting willows and willows", but this accident saved the man's conscience.
In the end, the parting with her relatives made Yingzi really try, and it was difficult to give up strong family affection.
Lin Qingxuan said: "Life is like a train, someone gets on the train, someone gets off, no one will accompany you to the end, even if you meet fate, even if you want to get off the train, you must say goodbye with gratitude, leave that blank corner in your heart, and still have a sweet heart when you think about it many years later." ”
In life, it is inevitable to meet all kinds of people, and the person who accompanies you from the beginning to the end is always only yourself, learn to face all kinds of parting, and indifferently accept gains and losses, good and bad.
Like and follow, and encourage friends.
