Because he was born in a wealthy family like a landlord's family, he had the financial resources to gamble, and unknowingly, he was tricked and lost all his family business.
The family changed dramatically overnight, and his father was angry. In the midst of poverty, her mother fell ill, was captured by the army during her medical treatment, and only returned home after nine deaths, but her mother had already passed away, and her daughter had unfortunately become mute.
The son who was finally raised, died of excessive blood draws in the hospital. Later, her daughter also died in the hospital due to postpartum hemorrhage. The wife couldn't stand the blow of the death of her children and left the hero. I thought I could raise my grandson with my son-in-law, but I didn't expect my son-in-law to die in an accident, and the only remaining grandson also died of eating beans ......
Only the protagonist is left alone in this world.,Live for the sake of living.。
This is what Yu Hua tells us to survive:To be alive is a practice, a practice to endure suffering and appreciate the various forms of life.
The three typical characters in "Alive" tell us what we have cultivated in the practice of "being alive".
This is the story of **, it's actually very simple. This ** is called "Alive", being alive is a witness, Fugui said: Like me, the more mixed up the more unproductive, but the life expectancy is long. People I know are dying one by one, and I'm still alive.
But his life must witness the death of a person, after life and death again and again. If a family has four generations in the same house, it is worthless for you to use "alive" to write about them, he said, only one person is dead, and only the life highlighted by an old man like Fugui is particularly powerful.
Life is actually endurance, and to survive is to bear the mark of time, and time is unforgiving. He wants to move us with such endurance.
* Write about one death after another, without crying and shouting, and the grief is written in a very restrained and subtle way. The purpose of writing warmth in Yu Hua's ** seems to be to express the pain that followed.
It also uses a particularly simple narrative to contain the impact of earth-shaking and continuous social fission on specific lives. The tide is all under the gentle water, and it expresses great tension in a condensed space.
To live is to endure everything, and to inherit is to inherit, and this is why human beings are endless.
Friends, cherish the present and enjoy every day of "Alive".
In life, don't adults often give themselves the courage to live by comparing miserables?

This is the world of adults, and you have to carry it even if you wear out your shoulders. Therefore, friends who play together often joke: when I feel that I am about to run out, I will think of my friend and feel much more comfortable.
They are all the same age, why should others live a rich and idle life?Not on any basis, because the world itself is not fair. What is the comparison of life?Births are different, family environments are different, parents are in different physical conditions, and the surrounding environment is different, so everyone's rhythm of life is also different, and of course, there are joys, sorrows and sorrows that you don't understand.
You stand on the bridge and look at the view, and the people watching the view are watching you from upstairs. The bright moon decorates your windows, and you decorate other people's dreams.
