The masterpiece of Hu An Ruerfu, "Pedro Baramo", wrote a bully in a village. At the beginning of this book, a calm narrative tone was set. Before the end of his life, "I" asked "I" to go to a village called Komara to find a father. "I" is the illegitimate child of Pedro Baramo. "I" met a person who was rushing to a donkey on the road. This person was also the illegitimate child of Pedro Baramo. With the two illegitimate children met and dialogue, the novels spread calmly. Through a series of literary methods such as memories, monologue, dreaming, hints, and metaphors, the characteristics of Pedro Baramo have been revealed layer by layer Essence He is the ruler of Komara Village. There are countless illegitimate children who have cleverly captured, and they also intervene in the leadership of the Mexican Revolutionary Army. As his illegitimate son said, he was the incarnation of hatred.

There is no complaint that shouting emotions, everything is as calm as peeling corn leaves. Pedro Baramo reminds Zhou Libo's "Storm and Rain". There is also a bully landlord in it. It has a straightforward artistic appeal and makes people have a strong sense of substitution. Similarly, they are all unforgettable. The difference is that the bully landlord in "Storm and Rain" is the object of accusation, not an anatomical object. Huan Ruhru, like a carpenter, slowly cut a piece of wood, let us see the texture and texture of life. He was also like a doctor, with a surgery knife, and cut the anger and sadness of life calmly, let us see how Pedro Baramo Mo Momo made a village a deadly place. This calm narrative method breaks a convention, which may weaken the reader's anger in some ways, but it leads the reader to a higher -level place is to think. Every character in the book is three -dimensional and can be investigated layer by layer.

Garcia Malx said he could carry this book down and back, without a big mistake. He wrote in "Short Remembering Huan Ruhru": After writing those books, I felt that I had entered a dead end ... At this moment, Alvaro Murtis took a pack The book was on the seventh floor to my house, and the smallest and thinnest books were drawn from a bunch of books. They laughed and said to me, "Read this stuff, mother, learn!"

Garcia Marquez was the Nobel Prize winner in 1982. His masterpieces include "Centennial Solitude" and "Love in the choice", which have a great impact on Chinese contemporary writers.

The novel "Pedro Baramo" is less than 100,000 words, but it uses a large number of modern novels to express it, and it is not chaotic. This is also the result of the calmness of the novel. This calm makes this novel very powerful. He wrote in the countryside, but the concept of writing is avant -garde.
