There are too many legends about Zhang Ailing, which is true and which is false, and it is difficult to distinguish.
This book "Agarwood Kisses the Rain Falls: Revisiting Zhang Ailing", the author is a loyal fan of Zhang Ailing, with his love for Zhang Ailing and the in-depth interpretation and analysis of her works, he handed over this book.
Actually, I don't really like to read other writers' works from a third-party perspective. Because, after the interpretation of a third party, it is easy to have preconceived ideas, which affects my personal thinking and judgment. However, I happened to get the book, so I decided to read it.
The author conducts a detailed analysis of Zhang Ailing's works, in-depth analysis to the extent of frame by frame, combined with the author's own growth experience, interests and preferences, to analyze the origin of the descriptions and character settings in the works. I can't be completely convinced of the author's analysis, without doubt. Through this book, I have been given a new way of reading.
In the process of reading, I once gritted my teeth and was depressed for a long time because I hated individual characters in the book. I can't understand how the author can write such a character, it is really a torture for the reader. Now I think that the creation of the characters in the book has a great relationship with the author's experience, vision, and three views. If there is a bad guy in the book that I can't understand, then I'm glad that I haven't met such a character in my experience. In other words, I was lucky. However, not everyone can have the same luck as me.
Therefore, it is necessary to read with a more inclusive attitude to understand the characters in the work.
My first impression of Zhang Ailing was that "it is necessary to become famous as soon as possible", and later heard that "when I saw him, she became very low, low to the dust." But her heart rejoiced, and blossomed out of the dust. ”
This sentence has always been considered to be Zhang Ailing's true feelings when she met Hu Lancheng, and later generations mostly judge her deep love for Hu Lancheng and her inner joy based on it. The comparison between the former and the latter seems to tell the world that no matter how proud people are, they will feel inferior in love.
However, I think that maybe Zhang Ailing had a short period of inferiority, and in love, when emotions overwhelm reason, she suffers from gains and losses. However, once he realized the true face of love, he realized Hu Lancheng's true character. I think that people like Zhang Ailing can get out in time.
After all, love exists, however, not eternal.
Moreover, art, which originates from life, is higher than life. To speculate through literary works and reflect the author's own experience, it is still necessary to maintain a certain degree of doubt. In literature, there will be exaggeration, there will be whitewashing. Therefore, when studying and analyzing, it is necessary to maintain a certain degree of sanity, and as for the truth, it is difficult to find out.
And out of the public's enthusiasm for entertainment gossip, the words and deeds of the parties have been processed by various **, as well as the exaggerations of some people, which always puts a romantic coat on love, which is fascinating.
In fact, it's just a long life experience.
I have only seen some fragments of Zhang Ailing's works, and I have not read them in full. It's more about understanding through adapted film and television works. Therefore, there is only a superficial understanding. It is novel to analyze in depth and detail like the author of this book. After reading the author's analysis and description, and then looking at the original text, sometimes you have to go back to the author's analysis to be able to correspond the two. At the same time, I myself will have some ideas, perhaps even contradictory to the author.
Reading and thinking can not be like the exam, where there is only one answer, and you don't have to force yourself to pass the correct answer and work backwards to solve the problem. To read such an analysis book with references, you need to think diligently and summarize more. It can be regarded as experiencing a wave for yourself, "for a thousand readers, there are a thousand Hamlets".
The more types of books you read, the more peaceful and tolerant people become, isn't this a kind of harvest?
