Chapter 570: Literature and the Quintessence of the Nation
Fame and wealth are empty, jade with black yarn, and I have turned back my career,
Clutch joys and sorrows are all dreams, beautiful talents, and the time of 100 years old disappears in a blink of an eye.
Su Le was reluctant to let go of the book "Farewell My Concubine" in his hand, which pulled people back to the old Yanjing in the last century, and he was sad and angry when he saw it, and in the end, he even hated Duan Xiaolou!
Since you know everything, why not make it clear?
Maybe to put it bluntly, Dieyi can also wake up.
But he thought about it again, his temperament was like a butterfly clothes, and he was afraid that he couldn't accept this understanding.
He doesn't know if it's love or not, it's very sadistic!
Ever since he grabbed this book at the book fair, Su Le has been reading it with his hands in his hands, and now he is a little stunned when he sees Cheng Dieyi pretending to be a real play, and learning the scene of Yu Ji drawing her sword and killing herself on the stage.
After more than half a century of displacement, after the melting pot of the times, Cheng Dieyi finally became the real Yu Ji when she rearranged the overlord Farewell Concubine with Duan Xiaolou.
Just the right abrupt stop, allowing this character to reach the pinnacle of fusion!
"Hey, how can there be another ending after the ending?"
Su Le thought he had turned to the end, but there was still a thin page of paper left, on which were written the words ending II.
This is a little surprise that Zhang Chu has prepared for readers, only readers who buy physical books can enjoy the treatment of double endings!
Unable to control his hand, Su Le directly turned the page, and then was stunned.
["Senior brother!"
Xiaolou shook him: "The play is over." ”
Dieyi woke up.
Play, sing, end, it's over!
The splendid tragedy is over.
The gorgeous love death is just an illusion.
He woke up completely from a demonic dream, and it was a teasing.
It's so satisfying!
Dieyi stood up strongly, patted the dust, and a weird smile hung on the corner of her mouth, "I just want to be Yu Ji in my life!"
He used all his strength and couldn't do it anymore.
afterward
Dieyi went back to China with the group......]
In the second ending, Cheng Dieyi didn't die!
The previous description was just that he was thinking in a dream that was both true and false, and the ending turned out to be a bit cruel.
If you die directly in the singing, it is sublimation, but surviving for a long time is also extremely cruel, and it shatters that dream.
It is like seeing and parting like all living beings, there is no vigorous death and life, and it is as calm as a pool of lake!
The second ending is quite ridiculous, compared to the previous one, it has a different taste, Su Le doesn't know which ending is better, but he knows very well that he prefers the first ending.
Let Cheng Dieyi, who is not crazy and cannot survive in real life, die on the stage than let him accept the facts after many years!
Use the shadow of death to cover up the fiasco and speechlessness after the dream is shattered, and use the heavy makeup of the year to cover up the wrinkles on the face, so that the man who wants to be Yu Ji will leave quietly when he is Yu Ji, which is much more beautiful.
"This pair of endings is really interesting, it's not a rigid one, each has its own merits. ”
After reading the book roughly, Su Le touched the cover with his hand, he hadn't encountered such an excellent work for a long time, which could properly integrate literature and the quintessence of the country, breaking his opinion of Zhang Chu!
It turned out that he was not a person who only wrote commercial works, it turned out that he also had intentions for literature!
Su Le's mood was slightly excited, and after he calmed down, he took a picture of the cover with his mobile phone, and then began to write a book review on the Douban reading app.
Books that are not on the market will not be opened for rating, but people like him who get genuine books in advance can get the right to publish book reviews after scanning the barcode on the app.
In this way, it can be regarded as protecting each work as little as possible from encountering the water army, so as not to be hacked before it meets the public!
[I was fortunate enough to buy a copy of "Farewell My Concubine" signed by Zhang Chu at the Yenching International Book Fair, and I read the content roughly for two consecutive days.
This book breaks my consistent perception of Zhang Chu, and very truly reflects the miserable fate of the people in the historical period from the eve of the Anti-Japanese War to the EN Revolution, permeating every detail, including the child who can't stand the abuse and beating of the troupe!
The six relatives in the EN Revolution do not recognize each other, and the personality distortion is even more extreme.
In order to avoid spoilers, this is not a story about the overlord of Western Chu at the end of the Qin Dynasty, but the story of two Peking Opera actors who began to wander across half the world from the Republic of China.
The most noteworthy thing is that Zhang Chu has two different endings, which is simply unexpected!
The first ending is the tragedy of the characters, and the second ending is more like the sadness of the decline of the quintessence of the country.
I highly recommend everyone to read this book, it will make your hearts stir, and it is hard to imagine who can play the role of Cheng Dieyi!]
After posting the comment, Su Le put his phone aside and started reading again, only this time it was much slower, wanting to see more details.
Some works can be put aside after reading, while others are worth revisiting, such as "Farewell My Concubine".
This book did not open for pre-sale, but was sold directly in bookstores across the country, and most readers were waiting for the release, only to find out that there were lucky people who had finished reading it and posted a review!
So is this book worth reading?
In addition to Su Le's comments on Douban Reading, there are three other long reviews, namely the well-known book reviewer Dark Knight and a writer who is active on Douban, and the last one is about to be unexpected, it turns out to be a famous literary actress.
Several people with different identities published book reviews separately and expressed their opinions from different angles, which also made the melon-eating masses who hesitated to buy books have a scale in their hearts.
These people have one thing in common, that is, they have given high five-star reviews, which is really confusing for a book that is about to be released.
The Dark Knight is a veteran book reviewer, with a good reputation in the industry, and although there are times when he receives money to say good things, most of the time he is relatively fair.
The book review titled "Farewell My Concubine: Nothing Can Resist the Mandate of Heaven" has attracted more than 100,000 views, and the comments below are also extremely active!
["Farewell My Concubine" from Zhang Chuzhi's pen is a bit surprising, this is not his usual oriental fantasy work, nor is it a suspenseful reasoning work that he is good at, but a work of integration of literature and national quintessence, personal and era.
It tells the story of the whole era from the small pear orchard to the whole big era.
Xiaodouzi, a child in the theater troupe, and his brother Xiaoshi grew up together since childhood, and Xiaodouzi, who was chopped off his sixth finger, became increasingly fond of Xiaoshi, who played the overlord on the same stage.
After growing up, the two became horns, Xiaodouzi changed his name to Cheng Dieyi, Xiaoshi changed his name to Duan Xiaolou, Cheng Dieyi's wrong love for Duan Xiaolou intensified, but Duan Xiaolou married Ji Nu Juxian.
Later, after experiencing the anti-Japanese resistance, liberation, and en-revolution, different stories occurred in different eras, and different characters appeared, thus showing the different personalities and fates of different characters in different era backgrounds.
This is one of Zhang Chu's most ambitious literary works, he pushes his characters into a corner step by step, and uses blood or death to pay tribute to the emotions of the characters.
A turbulent era forced Cheng Dieyi to take off Yu Ji's coat, not knowing whether she was a human or a ghost, a man or a woman, and Cheng Dieyi was not herself from then on!
follows the transformation of the protagonist's identity from Xiaodouzi to Cheng Dieyi to Yu Ji, showing the extremely feminine side of a man in different eras, written so really and naturally, there is no need to pile up words.
The double ending greatly deepens the story, after decades of turmoil, the overlord of Chu did not kill himself in Wujiang as in history, but fled to Xiangjiang to live a miserable life. Yu Ji died, on the stage she knew best.
The other ending is a seemingly plain and beautiful, the brothers reunited, sang the last song Farewell My Concubine, and at the end of the song, everyone dispersed, still living separately, going to different lives, as if they had never known each other.
Zhang Chu used plain sentences to tell about the most despised group of people in an era.
Maybe readers who can't understand it will find it boring, but if you understand it, you will cry!]
One of the most upvoted comments below is very thought-provoking, "Although I didn't, after reading this book review, I think the second ending is more shocking." Instead of torturing each other, it is better to forget about each other. ”
"No wonder it took so long to come out, it turns out that the subject matter and content are so sensitive and niche!"
"I've seen a lot of books with double endings, some are HE and some are BE, I don't know what kind of surprises this book will bring. ”
Zhang Chuda is really looking for a breakthrough, if he wants, to write the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series or some other money-making works, but now he would rather write this kind of unflattering subject. ”
"After reading a few book reviews, they are praising Zhang Chu, no wonder Director Xu Ji is willing to put the last work on Zhang Chu. I'll go to the bookstore tomorrow and take a look at it when I break at noon. ”
"Personally, I don't really like this kind of literary and artistic work, if it weren't for Zhang Chu's face, I would definitely not buy it!"
"Wait... I seem to have found something amazing!"
"I like to read abuse texts the most, and it's best to abuse tears to the letter, so that you can cover up your true emotions. ”
"I'd better go and look back at the previous ones, the Republic of China, the basic situation, and Peking Opera, these are not my dishes at all. ”
"Since everyone said yes, then I'm relieved, tomorrow Dangdang.com will have a full 100 minus 30 activity, buy a few more books to make up. ”
These are all users who use Douban to read books, and they are generally more familiar with Zhang Chu's previous works, and now they have changed to this theme.
Some people are happy and some are sad, and not everyone likes this tune!
In any case, "Farewell My Concubine" is about to meet the public, and its mystery has been revealed a lot.
