Content introduction:
As a teenager, Yana yearned for pure and eternal love like myths and legends. When she met the tall, handsome, steady and quiet Viscount de Lamar (played by Lian), Yana thought that she had found the ideal perfect couple and was immersed in great happiness. On their wedding night, Yana felt a sense of despair when she found that Julian was more interested in her body than her soul.
A tearing pain spread all over the ground, but Lian turned a blind eye to the pain on her body and fell asleep contentedly. Physical trauma is the root of Yana's disillusionment with love. She felt that her dream of happiness was in vain and the tragedy of life began.
After returning from honeymoon, Lian "seems to be a different person, just like an actor who has finished a role, and now he is back to his usual face." Being in charge of Yana's property, cutting expenses and treating farmers is very harsh: Yana's status as a noble landlord was overwhelmed by cheap arrogance, so Yana's material ecology was out of balance and her parents were very angry. Julian gradually became selfish, mean and rude.
Put on the common clothes of the local rich, and the brilliance and appearance that impressed Yana before will never return. The relationship between husband and wife is cold and strangers. "He seldom cares about her, even rarely speaks; The shadow of any love suddenly disappears, and it has become a rare thing to go to her bedroom at night. " The cold violence of this family makes Yana, who is quiet inside, completely on the verge of collapse in material ecology and spiritual ecology.

Life is a novel written by Mo Bosang, a French critical realist, in the19th century. It is the most influential of the only six novels in his life.

Life is set against the background that the development of capitalism has brought profound disasters to the French rural farm economy. /kloc-France in the 0 th and 9 th centuries, due to the invasion of capitalist industry and modern civilization, the rural natural economy is facing extinction. The conquest and possession of nature makes nature a subordinate and passive image in literature. Rape of the earth in various forms has become a rule, just like rape of women under various excuses. In the novel, Yana's family is descended from Norman nobles. The idyllic life that was originally happy has changed beyond recognition because of the arrival of this fake gentleman capitalist.
Life describes an aristocratic woman who lives an unattainable life in pursuit of happiness. She is different from Madame Bovary. Although Madame Bovary also pursued a better life and looked forward to happy love, she gradually degenerated and squandered her family property, and finally committed suicide because she was desperate. Yana, the heroine of Life, is completely different. Yes, she also loves fantasy. Earlier, she was bored in the monastery during the day and couldn't sleep at night, longing for a happy life.
After leaving the monastery, she is eager to taste the joy and happiness of life and hope to have a sweet adventure. But the reality has disillusioned her hopes again and again; Facing the cruel reality, she did not degenerate, but fought against fate again and again. Finally, although her family fortune was lost by her son, God never shuts one door but he opens another. With the help of Rosalie, her former maid, she can still maintain a simple life by finally bringing her son back to her.
