Lin (19 18—200 1) is a famous writer in Taiwan Province province, China, whose pen name is Eiko. I come from Taiwan Province Province, was born in Ben, and grew up in Beijing. She deeply missed the scenery and events she saw when she lived in the south of Beijing as a child, so she wrote an autobiographical novel, Old Things in the South of the City, which put the joys and sorrows of the world together.
Emotions and sorrows are vividly expressed, infecting generation after generation.
There are five chapters in the text of this book: Hui Anting, we went to see the sea, Aunt Lan, snowballing donkey, and dad's flowers fell. Six-year-old Xiaoying experienced various things when many children were still spoiled in their parents' arms. At the age of twelve, Eiko had just attended the graduation ceremony, only to learn that his father had died of illness. Eiko said goodbye to her childhood with all kinds of doubts.
Among them, what impressed me the most was the second chapter-let's look at the sea. "On the blue sea, white sails are flying. The golden red sun rises from the sea and shines on the sea surface and the bow. " Can't tell the blue sky from the sea! This chapter is mainly about: Eiko met a young man with thick lips on the grass. He had to steal to pay for his brother's tuition. Eiko didn't know this and couldn't tell whether he was good or bad, so she became good friends with him. Later, due to Eiko's carelessness, the police spy found the young man hiding in the grass. Eiko was very sad. The young man was taken away. In this story, Eiko has a pure childlike innocence. The sky and the sea are intertwined without gaps. Her immature eyes can't tell what is heaven and sea, good people and bad people, lunatics and thieves. In the 1920s, that turbulent society forced many good people to become "bad people". Eiko regards the young man as his brother and makes an agreement with him to go to the sea together in the future. The young man is kind-hearted, friendly to Eiko, and has a deep friendship with his brother. He is not a bad person. Such a tragedy would not have happened in today's society. However, it was in that society that Eiko was very kind and attached importance to friendship, which moved me very much. From then on, Eiko had a wish that when she grew up, she could see the sea, distinguish the Chuhai from the Heaven, and distinguish the good from the bad.
Eiko's childhood seemed miserable: his good friend left him, his parents didn't understand him in many things, and his father died young. But on second thought, her childhood was also full of meaning: she came from a good family and had many good friends. With them, she can see the complex feelings of the world and know a lot about it. Dad's early death made her grow up; Eiko also has a childlike innocence ... childhood things have not disappeared with the years and will remain in Eiko's heart forever.
I am 12 years old and will graduate from primary school next year, but I haven't learned much. After reading the old things in the south of the city, I said sadly, "My childhood has passed so quickly, and my childhood is coming to an end. Swallows have gone, and when they come back, the peach blossoms have faded, and they will bloom again. Childhood is gone forever. " I want to cherish the present time, study hard and do meaningful things. Don't look back too much, but grasp the present and look forward to the future!
Make good use of every day, even if the actual childhood has passed, the childhood of the soul is eternal! ! !
Chapter 2: Reflection on the Old Events in the South of the City This book, like the word "old" in the title, reveals an old and outdated atmosphere. After reading this book, I still remember the old scene of southern Beijing in the book. Old trees, dilapidated house numbers, and dead leaves under trees … all enter the readers' minds with the words written by the author.
This book tells five short stories: Hui Anting, we went to see the sea, Aunt Lan, snowballed, and Dad's flowers fell. Every story is seen from a child's point of view.
Eiko's world is simple. In Eiko's eyes, the "madman" in Huian Pavilion is not as adults think, and thieves are not all bad people. His wet nurse is a poor person. This book is to see the complicated and incomprehensible world of adults through a child's childish eyes and see the dribs and drabs of old Beijing life in the past.
Among these five short stories, Hui An Ting is my favorite chapter, and the protagonist Xiuzhen in it also touched me particularly. Xiuzhen is a poor person. After her child "little precious son" was abandoned, she became a little abnormal and became what others called a madman. Only Eiko does not dislike her and regards her as a good friend. Xiuzhen often talks about "little precious son", which shows the depth of her maternal love. In fact, she is just a poor mother who loves her children, just crowding out others and living an unstable life. Maybe there are always some poor people in the world who are not understood, which makes people very helpless.
In this book, there is a story behind the protagonist of every story. The author expressed his nostalgia for childhood and his call for warmth with nostalgic brushwork. Every story is full of warm affection. Perhaps, at the end of every story, the protagonists all left Eiko, and even Eiko's father finally left her with dying flowers. However, from one story to another, Eiko also learned a lot and grew a lot.
As time goes by, childhood is getting farther and farther away. Xiuzhen in Hui 'an Pavilion, thief in the haystack, Aunt Lan who loves to laugh, Uncle Dexian who doesn't like to talk to people, and amiable ... those characters are getting farther and farther as time goes by. "Old Things in the South of the City" recorded these words in the pages and turned them into words, bringing people's thoughts into the south of old Beijing, the unforgettable childhood.
Chapter 3: After reading the old story in the south of the city, the warm sun sprinkled on the page, with a faint fragrance, and the long camel bell drifted away. Time flies, an old story in the south of the city quietly took me into Eiko's childhood with a strong ink fragrance.
Whispering softly in my dreams. Aunt Lan, who grinned, accompanied her day and night, uncle Dexian, who ignored her children, crazy woman in Chunshu Hutong, playmate by the well, thief hiding in the haystack, caught my eye at a glance. When I was a child, Eiko was naive, eager to go to Hui 'an Pavilion, listen to her partner's girl singing, make an appointment with thieves hiding in the haystack to watch the sea, especially like to eat "snowballing" in old Beijing, go to the theatre with her mother, and visit temple fairs happily ... Time flies, things are different, and these familiar images are gone. Warm stories always have regrets, and the ending is not perfect. Dad's flowers have fallen, and Eiko is no longer a child. She must grow up, learn to be brave and learn to bear it. She was thirteen years old.
Maybe the world is so fickle. After many years, the prosperity of the south of Beijing has already declined with the migration of the capital, but occasionally looking through old things in the south of Beijing always has a feeling of the past. This is not nostalgia, just because that place has Eiko's wonderful childhood. People have to grow up, right? Once naive Eiko, because of his father's death, his childhood dream was suddenly broken, and he had to shoulder the responsibility as an adult, leaving behind his inexperience.
Ma Song returned to her hometown and said:
"Eiko, when you are old, you can't quarrel with your brother. He is still young. " Aunt LAN followed the four-eyed dog into the carriage and said:
"Eiko, you are old, you can't make your mother angry!"
Their words still ring in my ears, but it's over. Yes, we are all old. We are not children anymore. Childhood, why did you leave in such a hurry? I looked at your fading back and wept silently. Childhood, you carry too much of me, innocence of childhood, joy and noise of childhood, tears and smiles of youth. ...
