...... "The lamb belly towel is blue, it's easy for us to meet, alas, it's difficult to talk."
... one is on the mountain and the other is in the ditch, so it's irrelevant. Oh, let's wave ... "
... what is fate? I couldn't write when I picked up the pen, but the first thing that flashed through my mind was this folk song of northern Shaanxi, which brought me back to the high slopes on both sides of the Yellow River with the melody.
... life is great, but it is also ordinary. This greatness contains the infinite possibilities of life, but it can't get rid of the destination of death. There are too many longings and regrets in people's life, just like the scenes of love, hate, hatred, joys and sorrows in Lu Yao's novel The Ordinary World. When you have read this masterpiece that won the Mao Dun Literature Prize, or watched this TV series, you will experience a kind of leisure that washes away the lead and the dust settles. It turns out that human life is like this.
A short edition of Ordinary World
I can't interpret this masterpiece with short and pithy sentences, which is a disrespect for Mr. Lu Yao and a blasphemy against the greatness behind this ordinary. I can only tell the fate from a core figure, and that is "Sun Shaoan". Whether his love and career are destiny takes a hand or in his own hands.
"Shuangshui Village", an ordinary world shooting place, seemed to bring me back to that vast era when I came here.
... in the loess plateau of northern Shaanxi in the 1970 s, generations of people were raised here. They work at sunrise and rest at sunset. In this loess, they strive to harvest love and career, and they always want to change their destiny. But at that special time, your destiny was not your own, but given to you by the organization. There, the people's commune is your home, even the judge of your destiny. The land is collective, and you eat the same pot. Under this system, they are powerless to change, they are passive, and poverty and hunger surround everyone all the time. Sun Shaoan in the book is the eldest brother in the family. Because he is poor, he should shoulder the responsibility of big brother, because he is the production captain, and he should shoulder the heavy responsibility of the production team. Can be said to be heartbroken and exhausted, but still can't even solve the problem of food and clothing. Life there is endless, and there is no hope of reincarnation. Even so, he would rather sacrifice himself, let grandma eat steamed bread and let his younger brother Sun Shaoping go to school.
Shuangshui Village in the play is still so primitive, which really touched the story.
Growing up with a little girl named Tian Runye, Tian Runye is the daughter of the village party secretary Tian. In this Shuangshui village, Tian has a relatively good family background and absolute rights. He has always opposed Runye's association with Shao 'an and obstructed it everywhere, but Runye still treated her wholeheartedly and with Shao 'an. Because Sun Shaoan's family is very poor, even food and clothing is a big problem. He is deeply entangled in his heart. He hopes to go on with Runye, and he feels that his situation is very inferior. He didn't want her to suffer with himself. They really love each other.
Tian Runye (Tong Liya) and Sun Shaoan (Chloe Wang)
This is destiny. Runye's love for Shao 'an is turbulent. She knows that this man on the Loess Plateau is poor, but he loves himself deeply. Moreover, he is hardworking, enterprising and upright, and always wants to change his destiny. But in those days, it was not easy. He doesn't even have enough to eat. Their love has been ruthlessly hit by social reality. Runye is still trying to change his body, and time has passed. At this time, Sun Shaoan was preoccupied with how to eat yellow steamed bread, besides his affection for Runye, and the family no longer had to go hungry. This is not an easy task in this land. He wants to change. He always wants to change.
shuangshui village
When the official document was issued, Shao An knew that his opportunity had come. He privately discussed with the members of the production team to distribute the abandoned pig feed land in the village to the production team for their own use. This method actually takes a lot of risks, because the land is collective, even if it is barren. Of course, the benefits are obvious, which can greatly solve his own food and clothing problem. Opportunities and risks coexist, and this matter was finally exposed. At the critical meeting of the people's commune, all kinds of hats were buckled down. That scene may be unimaginable and can't be described in words. In that special year, once the hat is buckled, it may be the end of political life, or even the end of life. Unable to explain, unable to change, it is still a hopeless day.
The earth cave in Shuangshui Village, which went on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, has red couplets and caves.
At this time, there is a lot of pressure to moisten leaves. Tian Zeng found Runye, who explicitly asked him to leave his home, and arranged for Runye to date the son of the county leader and the car driver. Soon, the news that Runye fell in love with Li Xiangqian spread around the school. Of course, Sun Shaoan also knows that he knows that his situation is not worthy of Runye, but he is unwilling and feels inferior. Finally, he gave in. He gave in to the unfair world. He glared and told Runye clearly that they were over and he wanted to start a new life and new feelings. He is so unwilling, he is so miserable, he is so helpless, even hate, but what is more painful than him is Tian Runye, a weak woman, looking forward to starting a new life with her brother Ange. She firmly believes that hard work will definitely change her destiny. She loves him even more than herself. She is filial to her grandmothers, just like her own. But all the good things disappeared in an instant, turned into dust and cried all over the sky. She's about to collapse. ......
The various interests of the collective system have evolved into contradictions and become the catharsis of all kinds of violence.
The world is gray. At this time, I guess the inner world of Runye is this color. At this time, Sun Shaoan's compromise brought another turning point in life. He found his mother-in-law, He Xiulian, a Shanxi woman, full of old jealousy. She is beautiful, kind and hardworking. She has been busy with the Shao 'an family since she first met them. Maybe Lu Yao wants to be destined. After getting to know each other, Xiulian and Shao An got married. On the wedding day, there was no bride price, no new clothes, only a shabby earthen kiln and a bright future. Here she comes, the woman who used to be childhood friends with Shao An, with both joy and pain. At this moment, she blessed them. Maybe it's a joke that I'm going to take Shao An away at the wedding. Maybe it was a joke. Maybe ... this can only be a joke. I can feel that kind of blessing in pain and can only say it with the power of life.
At the wedding of Sun Shaoan and He Xiulian, Tian Runye also paid homage to the love she really left from that moment like a bride.
... seeing this moment, I can no longer restrain my inner peace. What kind of joke did fate play? Is their love a mistake? If Shao An continues to persist, what will be the outcome? But that's the story. This is the greatness of Lu Yao, which makes ordinary life have such ups and downs. Whether playing tricks or being cruel, fate is fate. At that time, their fate was not in their own hands. At that moment, I just wanted to describe Tian Runye's inner world in one sentence, that is: a peaceful memorial to the lost love.
If the characters in the novel are real, they may be like these old people now.
As the days passed, Tian Runye married the driver Li Xiangqian under the arrangement of his family. In fact, Runye still loves Shao An after marriage, or at least misses her. Her heart couldn't accept the marriage with Li Xiangqian, but fate arranged for them to be together. They sleep in different beds and often work overtime. Her husband Li Xiangqian is also in pain. This marriage was defined as failure from the beginning. In 1980s, with the liberalization of national policy and the drastic reform of Tian Fujun, the second father of Hotan Runye, the lives of Sun Shaoan and He Xiulian have undergone fundamental changes. They worked hard, seized the opportunity, set up a brick factory, and their days got better day by day. From eating black steamed bread, they can eat white steamed bread every day, and they get rich with the people in the village. At the same time, Tian Runye and her husband Li Xiangqian have also undergone fundamental changes. Because their marriage existed in name only, Li Xiangqian gave up the driving task and had an accident. His legs were amputated and he became disabled. Under the double blow, he changed from the official second generation to a tramp who was about to live on the streets. Why doesn't he lament the trick of fate? Tian Runye also examined her attitude for this reason. She changed her attitude towards progress. She turned her previous indifference into a responsibility to take care of him, perhaps out of pity or guilt, but I think she has now turned to love in order to move forward.
Shuangshui Village, which still retains its original features, is really moved by the world.
... Sun Shaoan said that people can't be poor all their lives! As the days passed, Shuangshui Village has undergone earth-shaking changes. People have changed from the original cauldron to household quota. Every family gives a thumbs-up when it comes to Sun Shaoan. Even the old village party secretary Tian, who hated him the most, had to respect this young man. He knows that the future belongs to young people. He got old and began to play dumb. For the change of the world, his heart still stays in his own time, but the change of the world. The days of Shao 'an are getting better and better. The couple are full of hope and longing, but fate has played a trick on them. His wife Xiulian was diagnosed with cancer by the hospital, but this good day has just begun. Xiulian is virtuous, hardworking and knowledgeable, and she is simply a good aunt in her dream. Why did she get terminally ill when she should enjoy the fruit most? I can't believe it, and I don't want to believe it, but I have to believe that it may be Lu Yao's deliberate action, and the best may be just an ideal. Reality is full of helplessness to fate, but under this heavy fruit, he will soon become a stranger in the world of yin and yang. He is so cruel! It is because of this cruelty that Lu Yao stood at the top of the world. I would like to be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life, and I don't want to be so cruel. This is my inner sigh.
Tears of He Xiulian and Sun Shaoan who are seriously ill.
Tian Runye and Li Xiangqian have a doll. Once upon a time, they almost met, but now they are in love. This love is not only their love, but also a compromise of fate. When Runye met Shao An again, the feelings many years ago turned into mutual respect. That's her Shao An brother, He Xiulian's husband, who is no longer a childhood friend. For Sun Shaoan, he is the pillar of this family, the leader who led Shuangshui Village to get rich, the husband of He Xiulian, and no longer the person around Runye. Fate has arranged their own tasks. This is the life of ordinary people and the world of ordinary people.
The jujube tree I photographed in my hometown of Yulin Road in northern Shaanxi will die in spring.
What is fate? Lu Yao was described in this novel. Fate is both predestined and artificial. People have to experience too much in their life. Whether we plan ourselves earth-shattering or simply, we are all ordinary people. This is reincarnation. Whether poor or rich, we will have the greatness behind the ordinary with a sincere heart. We shouldn't leave it at the end of our lives. Finally, I would like to pay tribute to Mr. Lu Yao's amazing work "Ordinary World".
