Biography for a group of unknown but real women

In the literary works I have read, "Patriotic" belongs to the kind of man who writes a woman and writes well.

In order to enter Pipiagou for the sake of the family who can enter the team, the smart and beautiful Xiu Xiu can marry the fool Fu Changjun in terms of learning. Despite this, her unyielding personality, while compromising with fate, fights tenaciously. After a period of time, she accepted a fool, and the two lived a normal life. When her parents were, Xiu Xiu supported the whole family. After her parents died, she managed her brother's family. In her world, her affection was the most precious thing in the world.

Xiu Xiu is an ordinary rural woman. She has no culture, but she is simple and solid, and lives step by step. In the face of difficulties, Xiu Xiu often said, "As long as you are alive, there is no hurdle." This is the manifestation of her toughness and the support point of her willpower. Xiu Xiu was born in a barren era, but her spirit was very rich, living herself into a light, affecting the people around her. She is never good at Gao Zhe, but to realize a small wish through her own efforts.

Golden chrysanthemum is the female director of the village, and she is a sense of justice. In the cold winter, she jumped into the cold river regardless of her. She always focuses on the "revolutionary cause", has high work enthusiasm and strong execution. She thinks that as long as the superiors say, they are right. In order to do a good job, she only talks about principles and feelings. But when the villagers have difficulties, she always extended her help and actively help everyone. Yu Gong, she is a good cadre; in private, she has her own narrowness and lack of work. She only considers her feelings. She does not think from the perspective of others, and she will not really think from the brain. Fortunately, in the end, she realized what she did.

Ma Qingmei is the mother -in -law of Xiu Xiu. She did not give her good look, and also created a rumor that she was a reincarnation of the fox demon. Taking up her daughter -in -law in this way, understanding that when she hear it, she knows what is going on. She knows that her son can't control Xiu Xiu, and she is afraid that Xiu Xiu will leave, so she deliberately creates these rumors and let those who want to steal the fishing on the show The man took the initiative to stay away from her. Ma Qingmei also did not give face to the village branch of the village branch of the power group.

The authors portrays twenty or thirty women like this. These women take Picjiagou as the stage and staged an intriguing bridge here. They live stubbornly, with high or humble or humble or domineering or unreasonable character and way of doing things. They usually fight for each other three or five, and sometimes they are fighting, but when anyone has a big deal, they will put aside the grievances and grievances and help each other.

"Patriotic" is a literary work made by such a group of unknown but real women. They are women of Picanggou, and they are the image of working women for thousands of years. After that, it has bloomed like a mountain flower, and it has precipitated like the loess mud, flowing like the gourd river water ... "But who knows that they have been here.

Since ancient times, women are not easy, far more than men. In the feudal society, women have no status, and have been restricted by the three, four virtues, three outlines and five constants. However, no matter whether anyone cares, in the historical long river of the Chinese nation, a generation of labor women are supporting the stability of the family with their weak bodies and steel will to promote the development of society.

Every character has his own special mission when he appears

Most men in "Patience" are also well portrayed, such as Xiu Xiu's younger brother, Hu Hu, fool Fu Changjun, Zhi Shu Monett, and old bachelor Mao Guicang. In the novel, the branch of the person who represents the power of the power, Mammunde, and the old man of the old branch, the Siye of Pipi, who loves Pijiagou in his own way, and wants the villagers to live a happy life, but because of limited ability, Picjiagou not only does not get rich, the entire whole, the whole, the whole. The village has gradually died. In the end, the powerless Pi Si Ye was buried in the sea of ​​fire in praying. Ma Mengde sat by the highway and watched the past vehicles spent the rest of his life ...

In the whole work, there are nearly a hundred characters who appeared before and after. When each character appears, he has his own special mission. No matter what kind of characters, the author gives sincere emotions, sometimes it may be only three or two strokes. But that characteristic is just right, making people feel like a sentient beings who have intersect with themselves in the world. In addition to portraying the characters, the dialect slang in the book makes people can't help admiring the richness of national language. Chinese culture adheres to its colorfulness in unification, inheriting its own regional life pulse in development. There is also the first popular Tiandou, which adds many auxiliary eggs to the theme of rendering to "Patience". The author lives on the loess slope. Of course, Xintianyou has a lot of contact, but to say that the first work that can come to the first love is certain, it must have done a deep and detailed research.

After reading "Patience", I deliberately query the author's historical material of the northern Shaanxi Fu County of the author -the ancient name of the Fuxian in the ancient times, and Du Fu lived with his family members here. For the author, it is a great luck to be born in a place where he has been cultivated by poetry and literary traditions. The deep cultural heritage of his hometown must have a nourishing effect on him. "Literature is the product of suffering." The author has rich experience and hard work. It lasted for seven or eight years to change his manuscript.

A "Patience" made me a new understanding of the ancient land in northern Shaanxi, and I also sighed a lot. Since the reform and opening up, our country has undergone tremendous changes. The country is rich and the people are rich. However, behind this prosperity and prosperity, the loss of rural culture is a serious real issue. The author directly hit the problem, and issued a soul torture, whether it is progress or helpless, and there are divergent opinions. Whether it is a new generation of farmers or a traveler who has left the country for many years, I think there are "unable to stay in the village!" Feel. The author broke the traditional reunion end, let Xiu Xiu died in a car accident, and let his brother Yan Hu's jail, and finally returned to the increasingly declining Pijiagou, leaving readers more room for thinking.

"Patience" wrote the story of a small person. They lived at the bottom of society and consolidated the material foundation of the Chinese nation with their own real life. Thanks to the author for giving the public such a literary work, let us go deep into the rural world, resonate with the farm life, and enjoy the history of farmers' changes.
