Give a dog a bad name and hang him

Half a century ago, Ruan Lingyu committed suicide, leaving behind "terrible words". To this day, "human words" continue to be "terrifying".

Rumors kill people invisibly, and there will always be victims. For example, the theme of "Destruction and Repentance" in Yuan Qiuhua's novel "Under the Same Roof" is still terrifying, the protagonist is as simple as a child, very stubborn, one will not keep, the other will not look back, so he regrets it for life. Marriage is like a comprehensive contract, in essence, it is similar to doing business, half a catty to eight taels, a wealthy family to a noble family, a wooden door to a chai door, to achieve a delicate balance, just take what you need.

Perhaps pure love is difficult to integrate into the worldly life. If it does not melt, it means that the reality is out of line, it means a deviation from the common sense of the world, and it means ups and downs.

It has always been a romantic tradition in China to meet friends with literature, and it is a good story to get married with literature, such as Xu Zhimo and Lu Xiaoman, like Yu Dafu and Wang Yingxia, like Lu Xun and Xu Guangping, etc. These people smashed the shackles of old customs to achieve legendary love. Sacrificing fame or even career for love is generally a bit silly, but it can be counted as a feat, and if you can save love, you can start over. But abandoning love for the sake of practical interests is also stupid, but there is no trace of tragedy, and what has been damaged will only continue to be lost, without trust and respect, only prevention and suspicion, and it is still a lonely soul when it is old.

At least, I can't. Forgive me for being stupid, I want to ask, is it worth it to return just for the sake of responsibility? Love is something that doesn't change whether you're together or not. Among all living beings, how many people can meet a love that they can't let go of for a lifetime? And being together does not make two people who no longer love each other fall in love, but only make two people more and more estranged.

In the final analysis, feelings are still people's hearts. Responsibility kidnapping, emotional blackmail, and entanglement in an empty shell relationship, which cannot be accepted physically and mentally, and cannot be accepted emotionally, will only make life worse. I want to give my child a complete home, but let my child see the ugliest appearance of marriage, so that he completely loses confidence in marriage, and he doesn't believe in love, is it to protect him or harm him?

If one party makes up his mind to leave, no one can keep anyone, so it is better to let go and forgive others, but also to let himself go, to fulfill others, but also to set himself free and have the right to pursue happiness again.

The protagonist is restrained, forbearing, unexpected, and polite, but the rumors still haven't been let go. The author understands their shame, and it is because they are not that they are ashamed, because they are unwilling, that they are angry, and because they are insulted, they fight. But without the courage to break the boat, he will not go ashore when he turns back, and the slander that cannot be washed away will accompany him for a lifetime. In this way, under the persecution of shame and fate, the protagonist survived obediently like a stagnant water, and still lived so reluctantly and obediently.

It's a tragedy.

The sense of fatalism and powerlessness is reflected everywhere in Yuan Qiuhua's literary creation, which has become the tone and background of the world of her novels, giving people a sense of melancholy and heaviness that cannot be transcended and has nowhere to escape.

Probably related to the fact that the author is a woman. A writer's private life has replaced his work as the focus of public attention, especially when the writer is still a woman, and the emotional experience is more eye-catching, which is a sad thing.

After Yuan Qiuhua's novel was released, there were a lot of rumors about her. When her name and awards were announced on TV and in newspapers, those who knew her well were envious and jealous. When she was frustrated, everyone didn't particularly care about her various "blatant deeds", and now that she was "triumphant" in the air, everyone couldn't tolerate her "misconduct", and they wanted to say bad things about her, but also bad things about her friends, mainly about her "unruly" deeds. For a while, there was a lot of noise and discussions, but the revelation of life style is no longer a major criterion for leaders to promote talents, because they are selecting cadres, not daughters-in-law, as long as she has strong business ability and no major economic problems, it is OK.

People tend not to be jealous of strangers, but only to hate the people around them. Especially in the modeling circle and cultural circle, the people who didn't take her for granted before were convinced this time, but the people who originally affirmed her were now a little jealous and hateful, as if they wanted to sing the right play, so rumors arose, and all the bad things done by Zhang San, Li Siwang, and Zhao Liu were all blamed on her alone. They all know that Yuan Qiuhua came to run from time to time, and it was at this time that she turned her into a live target, everyone was aimed, and she was erected and stood on the stage as a puppet, the stage of the T field and the stage of the literary field, over and over again, bright and dark, on and off the stage, and the arrows inside and outside the field were shot over.

Yuan Qiuhua is a person who is immersed in learning, she does not have a wide range of social interactions, and she does not have many friends, but after being repeatedly exposed by the media, it is necessary to attract the attention of the public. It's not her fault, she doesn't have the habit of spreading this kind of thing, it's the outsiders who are bored, and many people are interested in this kind of thing, especially the tidbits that happen to artists.

The average reader is much more interested in the facts described in the novel than in the exploration of the imagery of the novel itself, and they are very keen to examine the real people and real events in the novel, as if the novel writes about real people and real stories in life, so that it has the value of its existence. They don't understand the truth in art, not real people and real things in life, but with the help of fictional characters and stories, to express the author's real feelings. They don't find the real people and real things in their lives, and they will never give up. Besides, the female writer is unmarried, and I, a male writer, am also unmarried, the two live across the wall, eat together, seem to be signs of cohabitation, but do not avoid suspicion if they are not married, not very strict, not very cautious, not very scrupulous, naturally much concerned. About her, about me, about us, gossip, buzzing in the ears like a green-headed fly all day long, disturbing the parties concerned. Some people even accuse us of moral turpitude, playing with feelings, and immorality to our faces.

After listening to it, I couldn't help but laugh dumbly, all kinds of statements circulating in the market are too far-fetched and arbitrary. I know that some people have always been quite critical of migrant workers, and if it is a purely academic dispute, it is naturally indisputable, but unfortunately not all of them. Merit is meritorious, and transgression is excessive, it should be divided into two, with clear distinction between rewards and disadvantages, and the origin belongs to the origin, and the article belongs to the article, and the achievement of the article cannot be denied because of the origin. I understand that Yuan Qiuhua candidly expressed the thoughts and thoughts of outsiders to the locals, without hesitation, which inevitably attracted some people's misinterpretation and taboos. For ordinary people, this is also difficult to blame. It's okay to talk about it in private, but it's incriminating evidence when you write it down.

There are only dirty thoughts, no dirty literature. When a literati honestly exposes people's bad traits, they do not necessarily mean that they deliberately slander their ancestors and compatriots, but do they also want to cover up the scars on their heads? Just like Ah Q, they are not allowed to be instructed by others? When there is obviously stealing chickens and dogs in society, do they also have to whitewash the etiquette and righteousness of sages and sages? The truth is obviously corrupt and filthy, and does it also want to praise corrupt officials and corrupt officials? The reason why an artist is an artist is that he does not see things as he wants them to see, but truthfully describes things as they are. The preciousness of the literati lies in their willingness to tell the truth, not to write about the bad things of society, nor to expose the ugliness of people, but because of their conscience, they have to say that they have to write about their duties, and they can't help but write, and they just hope not to repeat the mistakes of the past, and they only hope to change the evil and return to the right by exposing the ugly.

How can the blood and tears behind the words be appreciated by those who have no heart and liver? For the ear that does not argue the rhythm, the most beautiful music is meaningless; for the soul who does not understand literature, the most true, good, and beautiful works are also sophistry to cover up the ugliness; and from the perspective of unbelieving in love, the most sacred feelings are also false and disguised.

There are 300 poems, and the sages say a word, and there is no evil in thinking!

A "Dream of Red Mansions" is appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar, the elegant see the elegance of the elegance, and the vulgar see the vulgar from it, but the practical problem is that the vulgar cannot be elegant after reading it, and the elegant person will not be vulgar after reading it. That's what it looks like. The first is that the human heart is a mirror, which is nothing more than an attitude towards literary cognition. It doesn't matter what happens, what matters is people's hearts, the heart is big, the world is bright, the heart is bright, the heart is evil, the eyes are full of false and ugly, then the world is all evil, the heart is right, the eyes only see the truth, goodness and beauty, then the world is not evil. Second, the environmental problem is nothing more than the environmental problem of the writer's growth. If it were judged by people with a little bit of literacy, no one would have such a high opinion, and if it were in Beijing, this kind of discussion would not have taken place in an uproar.

Romance novels involve love and hatred, and at first glance they look like the author's personal experience or true confession. The evidence for this illusion is that the author writes in the first person, vaguely borrowing the discoveries of several authors, which is quite autobiographical, but the pen portrays typical characters in typical environments, not individual portraits of the author. With my eyes, I naturally understand that Yuan Qiuhua wrote a novel, not a biography, or a news report. The author is the author, the characters are the characters, the dragon is the dragon, and the horse is the horse, how can the author talk about it? The author writes "I" as well as "not me," and whoever writes about the emperor is the emperor, and whoever writes about the slave is the slave, and whoever writes about the bandit is the bandit, and the thief is the thief, and the prostitute is the prostitute? Fiction can only be read as a novel, and it inevitably inevitably fictionalizes, imagines, fabricates, generalizes, and comprehensively creates. Its text must be half virtual and half real, it is the pen of the literati game samadhi, and there is no need to ask whether it exists or not. Is it true that when writing about murderers, the author had better kill people as well? Does the author have to sell himself when writing about a woman who has lost his foot?

Mr. Lu Xun wrote Ah Q, is Lu Xun Ah Q? Mr. wrote Ah Q, which does not mean that he advocates the spirit of Ah Q, nor does it mean that everyone wants to take Ah Q as an example to learn. As for whether there is such a thing, whether there is such a thing as a reference, readers don't have to dig seriously, let alone sit in the right seat, and hard work is not necessary. As for the various details in the text, the novelist does what he says, Jia Yucun dialect, writes it in vain, looks at it in vain, and prays for those with ulterior motives, don't pursue the reason. Knowing what it is, not knowing why it is, the stupid wind of research is not enough. Otherwise, if you are sold, others will laugh at you, and you will still be able to do it, and your teeth will be longer. Worry-free.

Life is the only source of creation, and pen and ink keep up with the times. Creation is undoubtedly a purely personal act, a way for the author to express his or her life about society and life, and some of his own opinions, experiences, experiences, and experiences are deeply hidden in the text. But literature also has logical norms, the constraints of the theme, the existence determines the consciousness, the subject matter is related to the author's life, the content is related to the author's personal experience, and the character is the shadow of the author, or the incarnation. However, although art can fly freely, reasonably associate and imagine, and interpret according to one's own gains, it cannot be subjectively and arbitrarily created out of nothing.

The slightest collision between rumors and facts can ignite a scandal, and we have no choice but to be silent and ignore the rumors. Some details of life are not impossible to clarify, but they cannot be clarified, no one believes them at all, they will only humiliate their personality in vain and lose their face in vain. Prejudice, unjustifiable, far-fetched, deliberately planted, the biggest problem of the laity is that they don't want others to surpass themselves, occupy a seat smoothly and steadily, pretend to be busy, eat and drink and mess around, right and wrong ruin talents. Not only criticizes, but also wants others to eat lawsuits, lest the world will not be chaotic, lest others will not suffer, lest he not show his viciousness!

The pressure of public opinion is often beyond people's imagination, and it can overwhelm a person and even seriously affect people's normal life.

To all the inquirers, examiners, spies, and grievances, we do not believe a single word of our arguments or explanations, but still discuss, speculate, and doubt. We are silent, dodging, knowing everything and forbearance of everything, not necessarily enlightened, not necessarily wise and foolish, but a state of mind that is powerless to tell. In the face of malicious harm, it is stupid to argue, and in the face of unintentional harm, explanations are superfluous, what else is there to say?

Without the hustle and bustle of the world, how can the coldness and warmth of people's hearts bring out the original pale simplicity and loneliness of literature?

Yuan Qiuhua in life is optimistic and cheerful, more bold and chivalrous than a man. But the characters in her novels are soft and weak, even if they are proud, but the pride is also a little woman, more like a dike that they painstakingly manage between their fragile dreams and heavy reality. Their reflection on life is not only full of a strong sense of nothingness, but also full of uncertainty, disbelief and doubt. The life concepts and values of those migrant workers in her pen are not without problems, but they need life experience and slow improvement, which is the pain of growth. Perhaps it is just the instinctive reaction of the disadvantaged group, in the face of the huge ungraspable external world, like a frightened mole, just want to retreat into a small cave and hold on to the last bit of stability! Family, work, and ability are practical and reliable, and they are also in line with the needs of life and society, and I am afraid that this is also their attitude towards life!

The creation of novels is not transcendental, but only a blank description of the truth of life, without the completion of the meaning of life, nor the sublimation of the ideological realm, some are only heavy fate and the powerlessness of reality, but even the fate and powerlessness are just the white clouds and dogs of time in vain. The reason why a tragedy becomes a tragedy lies in the presence and intervention of bystanders, and everyone's experiences and past events are just "like a fish drinking water, cold and warm self-knowing". The lack of attention, the corners that have been ignored, have completely dissolved the original tragic meaning of life, and all that remains is a desolation of self-pity.

Yuan Qiuhua's work seems to exude feminine care, but it is more like an emotional instinct of a fellow woman. She clearly has the ambition to act as a social spokesperson for her "insulted and damaged" female compatriots. For her own writings, those outsiders who are undoubtedly in the position of the weak, what she shows is not so much sympathy and compassion as it is more like the sympathy of people with the same fate. Her posture is not the condescending of the seer to the latecomer, but a kind of dialogue and communication on the basis of reciprocity, equality and integrity, and deliberately maintains a certain kind of detached, wandering outside the sight of the story, quietly watching the joys and sorrows of secular life.
