Qi Ge is one of the most important characters in the novel, and the whole article revolves around the contradiction between Qi Ge and his parents. In a sense, Qi Ge is a realist. His reality benefited from childhood abuse. This kind of abuse distorts Ziggy's psychology. At a deeper level, this is not a tragedy of Ziggy, but a tragedy of society. Ziggy's actions and words and deeds benefited from that special social environment. Another person played the role of mentor and friend in Qi Ge's life. This man is a boy from northern Jiangsu. Under the profound teaching of this man, Qi Ge had an epiphany. Started his own way to get rich. "Seven Brothers" is the materialistic thought guiding life. We can see the clue from Qi Ge's love. For the sake of his future, he resolutely abandoned his beloved professor daughter and threw himself into the arms of a barren woman with a strong political background. This is a naked transaction, and there is a dialogue in the text, which clearly proves that the two have needs and there is no love. This is written by the writer after profound reflection on life, in such an age of materialistic and gentle sweeping the floor. Selling tea eggs is better than selling missiles. Who wants to live in poverty with a poor scholar? The seventh brother is unwilling. In this case, the seven brothers can only use their own means to verify what a great man said, "Whether it is a white cat or a black cat, it is a good cat that can catch mice." Seek a seat by your own means. The seven brothers in this article realize their life goals through transactions under hidden rules. At the same time, it was also recognized by my father. This is the reason why Qi Ge's seemingly success is actually a tragedy. ?
Qi Ge is a figure that many critics are keen to discuss. He is an intriguing figure: he is like a successful company. He is a self-motivated person in a sense, but he can't escape the emotional infection at the end of the century. From the time enough died, seven soft hearts began to die: soon after graduating from college, when his career was booming, he would sit by the railroad track and tell enough about his loneliness, where his first and last warmth was placed. When he learned of the death of his second brother, his expression was very weak. His death undoubtedly strengthened his inner way of struggling in despair after seeing through the human tragedy. The philosophy of the strong planted seeds in his heart. However, the "teaching" of the old man in Peking University and Northern Jiangsu who changed his fate by any means prompted him to be completely disillusioned with rational values. Different from the second brother, the seventh brother responded to his feelings at the end of the century with completely opposite rebellion and personal struggle: his sense of absurdity about the world made him take all absurdities in stride, and his confusion and loss about the future made him trample on his self-esteem and the personality of others to seek power. In the history of Qi Ge's growth, once individualism broke the old moral bank, it evolved into a noisy desire-the pleasure of being a master in front of parents and the proud revenge in front of brothers and sisters. Qi Ge is a typical man who struggled from the bottom of society to the top of society. He chose the road of your wife as a relief after the collapse of his faith, and at the same time declared the decay of his soul. However, after systematizing his darkness in despair, he returned to "normal". Nevertheless, the writer gave Ziggy some understanding and sympathy. Fang Fang once pointed out that "it is the soil that grows seven buddies that should be blamed and hated" and that "changing one's own destiny is almost the goal of a family born like him." Their ability to bear hardships is stronger than others, and their pursuit of fame has extraordinary passion. "In an extremely poor life full of shouting, violence and oppression, family and love are gone, and people in the lower classes are numb. Among them, even if they get rid of the numb life, they often find it difficult to fundamentally get rid of the shadow of humiliating life-Brother Qi is still deeply puzzled about his life: "Like the extension of the railway track. "Since the mid-1980s, ordinary people have never been so confused: Why do they desperately want to live a good life but can't, while some people can live a luxurious life by virtue of their parents' power? In the era of the disillusionment of Utopia, people's self-consciousness has been expanded to the maximum extent by the cruelty of the world: as long as it is for themselves, what can't be done and what can't be forgiven? When the modern material civilization represented by Qingchuan Hotel entered the life of Wuhan citizens, materialism and pragmatism overwhelmed human nature. The period of humanism in the 1980s passed, and the wave of money worship surged in the 1990s. While love is dissolved, even the original explosive force of life is degenerated in the social network intertwined with money and rights, so that people think that the positive things advocated by the mainstream are often nihilistic, pessimistic about reality, decadent in heart and addicted to the pain that others can't understand. Fang Fang used critical realism to examine the restless people in the economic transition period. The tone of the novel is black, but it also highlights another aspect of the mood at the end of the century, that is, the constant pursuit in despair and confusion: if the death of the second brother symbolizes the decline and failure of traditional morality, then the development of the seventh brother implies the establishment of new values. This kind of values "is not a simple inversion of the standard right and wrong (that is, changing the original right and wrong into the present right and wrong), but putting the original value standard aside, neither denying nor affirming, just re-establishing a value standard in another space." According to the book, Brother Qi fell in love with the daughter of a professor with both talents and looks. Brother Qi abandoned the talented woman before getting married for her daughter. This love is the weakest paragraph written by Fang Fang in the novel, because it is not love-Qi Ge's love has long been buried under the tracks that have died enough, and his love with the professor's daughter is still out of the need to make up for his dignity: he has done something that Qi Ge can't do. This is an intriguing contrast, which confirms the individual value realized by the utilitarianism of people's value orientation in modern economic society. Fang Fang has no clear positive or negative attitude towards the relationship between the seven brothers and the professor's daughter, which shows that she has a sorry attitude towards traditional values. Tradition is precious, but it shrank prematurely in the secular world at the end of the century. However, it is precisely under this contradictory mentality that people never stop moving forward, although they are lost. This is why the emotion at the end of the century not only brought people simple death, but also promoted the development of the times at a potential level: Qi Ge's story is not over yet, and his future still has a long way to go. The life of shanty families in Henan Province is full of endless desolation and unknowable variables. ?
After 1985, many writers changed their previous warm style of writing and wrote bitter and cold words, and Fangfang's scenery has also revealed this cold mood at the end of the century. Twenty years have passed, and people have more recognized the reality and materiality of life. People feel unprecedented sadness about their helplessness in the situation of material slavery, which leads to the pervasion of emotions in the whole literary world at the end of the century, even to the point of flooding.
