While talking about changes in the country, it mainly focuses on the growth and positioning of women. According to the author's meaning, the former should be the footnote of the latter. History cuts the personal growth history, and the individual seeks self-narrative in the historical narrative. common trick.
Problems are also common. History seems to be more than just a footnote to life history. Private life has become a projection of a grand historical narrative. Personal life history is a miniature of history. Rather, private life has become a footnote to history. Private life is squeezed out of shape by history, as if a person's life can be summed up in several historical events. "Alive" is like this, so is Zhou Xirui's "Ye", and "Red Rain", known as micro-history, is not as good as the first two. The reason why "Mengxingzi" and "The Death of Wang Shi" are good is that they can write "life history" instead of "the projection of history on life history".
From this point of view, it is not as good as "Sunny Days", at least Jiang Wen (or Wang Shuo) is talking about pure juvenile growth, and the background of the Cultural Revolution is just the background. But when the protagonist of "I grew up in Iran" tells about his life, he can only say "I have experienced revolutions and wars and witnessed many deaths". The background is overwhelming and becomes the life course of the protagonist.
In the final analysis, she is still talking about "the Iranians we want to see", the Iranians shrouded in a lot of symbols, not "the Iranians who really exist." Still talking about "history", not "life history".
In "Eight Liang Jin", Sammo Hung smuggled to the United States during the Cultural Revolution. After returning to China, he saw his cousin whom he hadn't seen in more than 30 years. All he cherished was the details of playing with his cousin when he was a child. When his cousin asked him if he only remembered these for more than 30 years, he replied: "There is nothing to remember in the middle 30 years." When the history of life is freed from the shroud of history, the only thing left is the sentence "Nothing to do." good to remember". How to balance the two? do not know.
By the way: "Alive" refers to the movie version, the novel is slightly better, but Yu Hua... I don't know how to say he is good =. =
