"Border City" is Shen Congwen's masterpiece, this work, like Shen Congwen's other Xiangxi works, focuses on the fate of ordinary people and kind people, and depicts the tragedy of the life of the Hunan girl Cuicui, as the author said: "Everything is full of goodness, but everywhere is not a coincidence." Since it is not a coincidence, it will inevitably lead to tragedy because of the simple goodness. ”
"Border City" writes a kind of dreamlike beauty, such as ferrying, teaching children, saving people, helping people, and sending funerals These daily trivial things seem quite idealistic to the author, and there is a bit of "gentleman's field" atmosphere. Of course, contradictions do not do not exist, and a discerning person can see at a glance that the shadow of social contradictions lurks in the background materials used by the author. The author has never made any secret of the fact that his intention in writing is to support "people who have the great cause of national rejuvenation" and "to give them courage and confidence."
Everything has a chance coincidence, but the result is like the inevitability of fate
In this world, all people with true temperaments always think differently
3. It is unfortunate for a person to remember too many things, it is unfortunate to know too many things, and it is unfortunate to experience too many things.
Personnel is like this, building their own cages and locking themselves. Be God yourself, worship yourself. Survival is such a pitiful thing
5. Water can flow everywhere, fire can be burned everywhere, the moon can shine everywhere, and love can be reached everywhere.
6. Don't cry, be an adult, don't cry no matter what, be hard and strong, and be worthy of living on this land.
7. But the young man who sang under the moon and made Cuicui's soul float gently in his sleep for the song has not yet returned to Chadong.
8. The moonlight is like silver, it shines everywhere, and the bamboos on the mountain become black under the moonlight. The sound of insects in the grass around him was dense like falling rain. Occasionally, I don't know from where, suddenly there will be a grass warbler "falling and falling!" Swallowing its throat, it was not long before the little bird seemed to understand that it was the middle of the night, and that it should not be so noisy, and still closed its little eyes and fell asleep.
9. The weather is very depressed at dusk, and red dragonflies fly everywhere on the stream. The clouds had risen in the sky, and the hot wind blew the two mangosteens so loudly that it seemed that it would rain heavily in the evening.
10. Although their lives are so alienated from ordinary society, tears and joys, in a kind of love and hatred, are rubbed into the lives of these people, and they are similar to other young lives in another land, and their whole body and mind are soaked in that little love and hatred, and they forget everything when they see the cold and the heat. If there is much difference, it is just that these people are a little more real, and they are closer to being confused.
Everyone has a border city in their hearts, maybe a city that they have stayed in, maybe a person they have loved.
Everything is full of goodness, but everywhere is not a coincidence. Since it is not a coincidence, it will inevitably lead to tragedy because of the simple goodness.
13. The dusk is still gentle, beautiful, and calm. But if one thinks of this present thing, it will be a little desolate in this twilight. And so the day became a painful thing. Cuicui felt as if something was missing. It seems that seeing that this day has passed, I want to climb it in a new person, but I can't. It's as if life is too ordinary to bear.
14. Girls don't lie, the habit of the clansmen, a woman is in love with the first man, but she is only allowed to marry the second man. If this rule is violated, the woman is often tied to her back with a small stone mill, or sunk into a pool, or thrown into a hole in the ground. The customs are very ancient, in the past, it should be the same as other races, there is a belief that ** is an evil thing, the local patriarch is more enlightened, and the wizard is more in the abstinence life, so the obligation to carry out the ** right, it turned into the first man's love. The first man can receive a woman's chastity, but therefore cannot receive her love forever. If the first man marries this woman, it seems to be very unfortunate for the man as well. Superstition has gradually lost its original meaning in history, but customs have preserved the ancient rules.
Because of the law-abiding nature, young men and women never dream about the long term in their first lovers. "Good flowers can't grow, the bright moon can't be round, and the stars can't shine forever," xx people sing about love, so they also have a melancholy and sentimental atmosphere. Often people feel that "Zhilan is not easy to open again, and joy is not easy to come again" when they break up, and the two quietly escape. There were also two people who joined hands and jumped silently into the volcanic caverns that had been dead for 10,000 years with their mouths wide open on the ground. Otherwise, if the risky one gets married, and when he is found out, he should throw the woman into hell.
15. For more than 20 years, most of the living have turned into dust, and the dead are as light as smoke in the memories of the living.
16. She loves him, he understands, he doesn't love her, she understands. Herein lies the problem, the status of each individual has remained the same for three years, and has not changed much. They have an age difference of about seven years. The friendship between these two people was separated by a period of time, so that they could not stop in front of a certain thin curtain. Both of them looked at each other in the veins of the other's hearts, but often remained silent, unable to spread the other's arms and let the other lie feebly and willfully into the other.
17. Professor Ding said, "Probably everyone should have a kind of domination in order to be like a person. Whether it is a god, a demon, a law, a doctor, a money, a fame, a toothache, or athlete's foot, there must be a little restriction from the outside or from the inside, so that a person can be like a human being. A person who is not bound by any constraints, who seems to be extremely free on the surface, in fact, he has no success in doing anything. Because he is not a person. He is uninhibited, and at the same time he does not have much strength. "If I am now unrestrained, all desires will not be able to afflict me, and I will not care about all people, this will not be a good phenomenon. I sometimes get scared when I think about it. I understand that I can survive on my own, and I have to thank the society for giving me that little restraint. Without it, I would have killed myself.
18. He never thinks about the meaning of his position to himself, but just lives there quietly and faithfully. In place of the sky, so that he felt the power of life when the sun rose, and when the sun set, he did not think about dying at the same time as the sun was the girl who accompanied him. His only friends were a ferryboat and a yellow dog, and the only relative he had was that girl.
19. It is unfortunate for a person to remember too many things, it is unfortunate to know too many things, and it is unfortunate to experience too many things.
20. After a month of ordinary life, all the sicknesses in people's hearts seemed to be cured under that long day. The weather is very hot, everyone is only busy sweating, using cold water to eat rice wine, no need to worry about it, and the heart is in people's lives, and they can't keep it. This is not a human sin. Poets will write whole poems on a small thing, sculptors carve a bloody portrait on a stone, painters will paint a handful of green, a handful of red, and a handful of gray, and paint one by one a magical painting, who does not make such strange achievements for the sake of a smiling shadow or a frowning mark? Cuicui can't use words, can't use stones, can't use colors to transfer the love and hatred on that little bit of heart to something else, but only let her heart gallop on all the most ridiculous things. She often gets a thrill of surprise and joy from this secret. The slightest unknowable future shook her with such emotion that she couldn't completely keep that kind of stupidity from her grandfather.
