Tears!A pair of sisters and brothers span the native family healing for 50 years

After the release of the movie "My Sister" last year, it caused a lot of controversy. In the movie, the "Chinese sister" played by Zhang Zifeng was repeatedly discussed by netizens.

After the film tells the dilemma and choice faced by the elderly's parents who pursue their personal independence or raising their younger brother.

The controversy of the film is great: on the one hand, it exquisitely presents the hardships and unfairness experienced by women's growth; on the other hand, many netizens finally chose to raise their younger brothers to sacrifice their personal pursuit.

But this does have the practical significance worth exploring the present: when the pain of the native family is like a shadow, how should we face it?

Axin recommended a new novel today. It is the new work of the American contemporary literary world to carry the Dingting writer and the Fakner Literature Award winner, An Pachete, "The Home of Wandering", and the "Sister Mev" in the book. It is a typical "Chinese sister" image.

Mev carried the fragmentation of the native family, and still organized himself and the people who rely on himself to organize well, showing us a different attitude towards life in the face of family pain.

Home is the starting point of all unfortunate, and it is also a nostalgia for being unable to let go.

The beginning of the story is the 1950s and 1960s. Mev and Danny are a pair of siblings and live with their father in the extremely luxurious Dutch House.

When the sister and brother were young, the mother ran away from home, and there was no message since then. The family suffered a mutation, the father remarried, and the attitude towards his children was extremely cold. The old and old houses became the "exile" of sisters and brothers.

As a result, the responsibility of taking care of his brother fell on Mev, who was 10 years old. For Danny, Mev is almost half of his mother.

However, his father had a heart attack at the age of 15 and suddenly died. Shortly after his father died, the stepmother drove the sister and brother out of the Dutch house ...

"Wandering Home" said from the perspective of his younger brother Danny's perspective, in the rotation and decline of the Dutch House, his sister and brother were accompanied and recalled for 50 years.

In the past 50 years, even if they seem to be increasingly successful, their parents' marriage tragedies in childhood have deeply influenced their siblings, and they are even unaware.

The sisters and brothers often drove to the Dutch house when they were quiet at night, stopped the car outside the house, and silently observed the mansion that grew up with them, but never went in to see.

The Dutch House is the starting point of their pain in their lives, and it is also a nostalgia that cannot be let go.

The old house symbolizes that they can't give up for the past, childhood, and family: Even if the memory is only sporadic, even if they can catch a house that can no longer go in, they are still happy.

"Like a swallow, like salmon, we are helpless to control our migration mode. We pretend to be a house, not our mother and father."

"Wandering Home" staged a sorrowful history of "home" in the description of the waves. The family is the entanglement that we can't get around in our lives. We cannot choose or get rid of it.

We depend on each other and hinders each other

The death of his father and his stepmother made the rich sisters return to poverty.

They found that only each other could rely on each other. It was this unshakable bond between them, which not only saved their lives, but also hindered their future.

This year, Mev was only 22 years old, but had to carry all the burden of life. She worked hard and asked her brother to be admitted to college; every time her brother asked about her emotional life, she avoided not talking; her mother left the diabetes that she suffered from stimulation and trauma that year, and she invaded her life from time to time.

In the novel, there is a portrait hanging on the wall of the Dutch house. It was the age of 10 years old. A famous artist came to the house to paint her. The author An Pachete hopes to turn this portrait into a cover: Mev on the cover look directly at readers, just as Mev also wants this world to look directly at himself.

Mev is undoubtedly a sympathetic, angry, sad and heartbroken sister, but she is not a "self -sacrifice" woman who has a self -pity and self -suffering.

After losing her parents, she took the initiative to choose to support the burden of life because she was retaining a "home" in her own way.

In the vast life, a ray of concerns and thoughts is the power that can make the wandering heart. Her courage, her strong pursuit of the ideal life, has become the reliance of her brother, and at the same time presents a kind of female toughness that is not imprisoned by pain.

Ann Pachert's story is a story about "we survived in family injuries". She is good at describing group portraits that the identity of female writers allows her to carefully capture the emotional fluctuations of the characters.

Every character in "Wandering Home" is growing and changing. Except for Danny and Mev, the stepmother, the stepmother's daughters, their former maids, and the mother who returned again showed more than one appearance.

In these characters, we can see "unforgettable love and pain under family bond", and we can also see the impact of "time" and "family" on everyone.

"I have been writing the same story in my life -you are in one family, and suddenly you enter another family. This is not your choice, you can't quit."

Ann Pachete has written about the story of reorganizing families throughout his life, which is also related to her own real experience.

Those who are faced with face -seeking are shining with real glory

"Divorce" seems to be the fate of the author An Pachete's family. Her mother has married three times, so she has three father: Biological father Frank, the first stepfather Mike, the second stepfather Darille Essence When Pachert was 5 years old, his parents divorced. The biological father loves reading, but he never supports his daughter to make a living. Pachert felt that his father didn't understand himself and wanted to prove himself.

The father Frank did not support Pachert's writing career, and the stepfather Mike supported. He not only encouraged Pachete to write, but also created diligently and clumsy, giving Pachert a great motivation to persist.

The third father Darril gave her equality and trust. He treats all the children in the family, whether he is born with or not.

Ann Pachete, the American contemporary literary world carried a Dingting writer, the Fakner Literature Award, the Citrus Award, the Kafka Award, and the National Book Review Award.

The separation and reorganization of the family allows Pachete to think deeply about the broken family relationship, the power of hand and foot friendship, and the nature of the family.

"Wandering Home" is based on the story of the kernel creation of "Home". Pachert's exquisite and delicate expression will portray the losing attachment and the thin and fine tenderness. The attention and attention of all sectors of society.

Not only was the list of Pulitzer's novel awards, it was also selected as 100 good books of the "Times Weekly".

On the book review website GoodReads, over 350,000 people scored 4.1 high scores.

50 years of memories, just to pick up a life that he never owns, everyone who does not want to let go will see himself in "Home of Wandering".

"We are obsessed with our misfortunes and even fall in love with our misfortune. The reason why I feel disgusted is because I discovered that we even made this matter that last for so long, not we decided to let go."
