"She and Her Islands" is a work created by the author that tells the story of three generations of women in a family.
A mediocre girl who collects discarded bottles as a treasure, a mother who has a morbid desire to control her daughter, and a grandmother who strongly formulates "Chinese New Year's Eve that the three daughters must return to their mother."
Perhaps, you are already a little suffocated just by seeing this combination, but the collision between them constitutes a very warm story. The three of them talked about how blood is not a tool for us to reconcile with ourselves and our loved ones, but "she" itself.
Among them, the role of Li Yijin left a deep impression on me.
She has been controlled by her mother since she was a child, and she is afraid to have her own thoughts.
She accepted her boyfriend's family customs, accepted the mixture of chicken blood poured into the ashes, accepted her boyfriend's ignorance, and really blocked this unworthy man.
She also accepted her grandmother and mother at the end of the story, and when she told the children about the previous story, she would also tell them how to say goodbye to their relatives: "Grandma, we are going home.""
Looking back on ourselves, have we experienced such moments?
When I get home, my mother always opens my schoolbag to see if there are any boys who write love letters today, whether my daughter has become bad, and whether there are things in my diary that my mother doesn't know ......
Grandma will tell you about the rules they had before; Your boyfriend won't introduce you to your family, even if they use your birth date to be superstitious and feudal, they won't defend your ......
I think the following sentence is particularly beautiful, and I share it with you:
The sound falls into the golden sunset and melts into the sparkling sea. “
Li Yijin looked back. Only ** Island gradually drifted away, and I couldn't help but cry. ”
The sunset that day was golden, shining golden through the clear glass bottle of wine that fell on his eyes. “
Later, she forgot what he looked like, and she couldn't remember his name, but she still remembered the sunset on the playground that day. ”
"Bought a ticket, escape plan, hope everything goes well. “
Back to the topic, after reading this book, there will be some sighs in my heart, but no matter what, remember:
You only live once, don't be tied down.
As readers, we may be bound by the trivialities of life, the expectations of others, or our own limitations, but as Li Yijin has experienced, we have the right to pursue the life that our hearts truly desire, and whether it succeeds or fails, it is worth trying.
No matter how many difficulties we encounter, we should face them bravely, and continue to break through our own constraints, not be limited by the past, and dare to chase our dreams.
Every attempt in life is a growth, and every transformation is a sublimation.
There's nothing wrong with expressing yourself correctly, and you deserve better.
I wish we all come out of "Li Yijin" and become our own archipelago.
