Douban 91, this book recommended by Dong Yuhui has to be read.
The book is "The Right Bank of the Erguna River", which won the Contradictory Literature Award.
Some people say that "The Right Bank of the Erguna" is another "Alive", but I don't think so.
"The Right Bank of the Erguna" is similar to "Alive" in that every page shows someone leaving. But "The Right Bank of the Erguna River" tells that death is sparse and ordinary, sad but not sad, and even there is a trace of warmth in death.
For the Evenki people, death is a very common thing, and in such a harsh living environment, starvation, freezing to death, death due to childbirth, and death by fighting beasts are all common plots.
And the most powerful thing about Mr. Chi Zijian is that he tells death in sad but not sad language.
There are a lot of dead people in this book, and some people say that they don't even dare to turn the next chapter, because one person leaves in each chapter.
Among so many departed characters, I was impressed by Lena.
She is the sister of "me", the last chieftain woman of the Evenki tribe, and the first soul to die in this **.
The shaman rescued Lena with a deer
Lena survived by replacing her with a deer, and her life was given to her by a reindeer.
That fall, when "I" was about four or five years old, "my" sister Lena fell ill, had a high fever, did not eat or drink, and fell asleep. The Nidu shaman rescued her.
He danced and sang in search of Lena's Umai, the soul of a child. ”
After the jump, he said: A gray reindeer cub has gone to a dark world in place of Lena.
Sure enough, when he walked out of the Xi stunned pillar, the little reindeer that was jumping around had fallen to the ground motionless.
Lena's life was given to her by the reindeer.
Lena gave life back to the reindeer
Once, after a conflict between his father Link and the Nidu Shaman over the relocation, "I" and Lena worry that the Nidu Shaman would take revenge on his father by jumping into the gods.
The two little girls should decide to sleep with the Nidu shaman that night, and they should watch the Nidu shaman and prevent him from jumping.
I fell asleep, but Lena didn't sleep all night, and she kept her eyes open in the dark looking at the Nidu shaman, afraid that he would jump.
When I moved the next day, Lena, who was riding a reindeer, was dozing off and fell asleep unconsciously, she fell into the snow and froze in her sleep.
The shaman said that Lena was a bird in the sky, and that she had left and flew back to the sky to be with the birds that were free.
Lena collapsed on the back of the reindeer, and she gave her life back to the reindeer and turned into a bird.
Ambiguous feelings that end without illness
Lena and Lolinsky, if it weren't for Si's death, maybe they would be together, right?
Lolinsky was an Anda who lived in Zhurkantun, where Russian businessmen gathered. He always came to them with what the Ullen tribe needed.
Every time he came, he always brought some gifts to Lena and kissed her when she left.
When did Lena grow up to be Big Unagi? "He's been waiting for Lena to grow up.
Maybe he was waiting for her to marry her when she grew up, but unfortunately Si's death took away all possibilities. We don't know what Lolinsky was planning.
He knew that on the day Lena Si went, he hung a small round mirror on the tree, which he was going to give to Lena.
The ambiguous feelings that have no beginning and end come to an abrupt end.
Si death took everything, including the love that ended before it even began.
Lena's death is sad but not sad
Lena is the first character to go to **.
There is sadness and grief, but Mr. Chi Zijian's words are warm, sad but not sad.
She writes that when Lena leaves, she says that when Link finds Lena, she has her eyes closed tightly and a smile on her lips, as if she is having a sweet dream.
Lena was happy when she died.
The shaman also said that Lena turned into a bird and flew to the sky, she was content, she was happy.
Mother Damara and "I" were immersed in grief for a while. Then, after spring, the spring light healed the mother, and a smile appeared on the mother's face again.
"I found that spring light is a medicine that can heal people the most. ”
The love between Lolinsky and Lena that ended without a problem should have been regretted for life.
But the author describes his last gift to Lena like this, the mirror:
The mirror reflected the warm sun, the white clouds and the green mountains, and the small round mirror, as if it was about to be broken by the spring light, so full, so moist and bright. ”
A mirror that is about to be broken, but reflects the warm sun.
In Chi Zijian's pen, Si's death is not the end, so he mourns but does not mourn. Death is not grief, it is just a common form of life, another form of life.
