Today, Jia Youwei first asked people to make himself a cup of tea, and then sat alone in the study to prepare for "writing". The only female writer Xiao Hong who disappeared appeared in his head.

Xiao Hong is one of the four talented women of the Republic of China. In terms of fame, he is far less well-known than Zhang Ailing, but he is more famous than Lu Bicheng and Shi Pingmei.

Jia Youwei doesn't make too many comments on Xiao Hong's emotional and private life. The writer himself belongs to a very emotional person. Whoever she loves and who she doesn't love, it's all freedom. Xiao Hong is a student of Lu Xun, and it was once rumored that she had something with Lu Xun.

In any case, her famous work "Life and Death Field" was published with the encouragement of Lu Xun. This work is also one of her masterpieces and is highly regarded by many people.

The main content of "The Field of Life and Death" is nothing more than how the poor peasants in Northeast China were exploited by the landlord when they were "alive", and they went to the final "death" step by step.

Jia Youwei has always hated the face-painted character settings in writing. I have never changed my perception that people are a binary combination of good and evil, that is, it is often said that half angel and half demon.

In other words, man is a species created by the "six dissimilarities", this point and that point. In his opinion, the peasants are not white lotuses, they are all good people.

They are even worse than the landlords. They are naturally afraid of coercion and power. The more they take it seriously, the more they tend to get more aggressive.

Of course, the landlords are not all good people, nor are they all Huang Shiren, who does all kinds of evil.

In the context of that era, their rent increase is also a normal economic behavior, which is a matter of course, and it is not necessary to force tenants to die.

What good does it do to the landlord if he forces the tenant to death? Could it be that the landlord will personally go to the field to cultivate the land? This is not a landlord, but a rich peasant.

There are still people above who make all kinds of apportionments to the landlords, and the only thing they transfer costs down is that they all fall on the peasants in the end.

In addition, they also have to participate in the inauguration of new local officials, and the ushering of old officials to usher. It is impossible to be empty-handed, it is certain to spend money.

It is also impossible for the landlords to consciously and voluntarily dig into their own pockets, so they will spend on the peasants at the bottom.

If someone in the landlord's family has a serious illness, suffers a lawsuit or something, spends the money, and causes losses, he will try his best to make up for it from other places.

Not only the landlord, but also the normal thoughts that anyone will have, and the place where a transfer can be carried out is nothing more than the lowest level of peasants.

It's the same as tenants being raised by landlords these days. Whether it's renting a house, or renting a shop, a stall...... No landlord will get lost and have to do something that is not good for him or others.

Inflation, material rises, currency depreciation, housing prices and so on...... Rent increases become imperative. In the end, the black cauldron of injustice was saddled by them.

Ordinary people are scolding real estate developers. The real estate developer can't tell if he is bitter, the land is approved by the government to build a house, and when it is auctioned, the price is very high, what do you let him do? Is it difficult to make money at a loss?

In addition, seventy percent, or even more, of the funds are borrowed from banks. Banks will not borrow in vain, and they will definitely charge interest on the loan.

Real estate developers also have to add this part of the cost to the construction cost. Not only that, but government taxes and fees have to be paid, and the salaries of the personnel, as well as expenses of one kind and another, have to be paid.

In the end, they suddenly became Huang Shiren, who forced Yang Bailao to sell his daughter. Ordinary people are scolding real estate developers, but they just can't see the government and banks behind them, and even the local snakes.

Huang Bo's early appearance in the TV series "Survival of Migrant Workers" can be seen. The TV series was also banned for a period of time before it was able to see the light of day.

As far as Jia Youwei is concerned, he likes Xiao Hong's long "The Biography of the Hulan River" the most. Xiao Hong's writing is characterized by a prose-like writing style.

She still has some talent for writing herself. Xiao Hong has the "common problem" of female writers, lacking a deeper exploration of human nature and society.

"The Legend of the Hulan River" writes from the city, the street, step by step to his own home, talking about Xiao Hong's childhood and grandfather's life, as well as her disgust with her father's miserliness. This one brings part of her autobiography and memories.

After reading it, I don't have that kind of heavy mood of "Life and Death Field", it is more relaxed, there are beautiful, and there are also Beijing schools, essays, the small life of ordinary people, and the small romance of small days.

Jia Youwei thought of Xiao Hong, and naturally thought of Higuchi Kazuha, a female writer in the island country. Kazuha Higuchi is the woman on top of the 5,000 yen bill.

Higuchi Kazuha's most representative work is "Childhood Sweethearts", and she is not too famous in the literary world of the island country.

The literary value of her works is not too high. Higuchi Kazuha is good at writing about women, which is not as profound as Zhang Ailing's understanding of women and writing.

To this day, Jia Youwei still can't understand why the islanders would make Higuchi Kazuha the first female portrait to appear on the front in the history of island banknotes. Could it be that it is to show the equality of men and women and appease female compatriots?

Higuchi Kazuha died early, and at the age of twenty-four, she finished her life. It's not about how long you live, it's about what you did while you were alive. She certainly did not live in vain.

The period from December 1894 to January 1896 was the pinnacle of Higuchi Kazuha's creative career, and later literary critics called it "the miracle of Kazuha's fourteenth month".

In a short period of time, she wrote a series of excellent works such as "Chinese New Year's Eve", "Turbid Stream", "Childhood Sweetheart", "Fork in the Road" and "Thirteen Nights", which caused a sensation in the literary world.

Xiao Hong also did not live long, on January 22, 1942, died of tuberculosis and malignant tracheectasis in Hong Kong at the age of 31.

In fact, what she couldn't die was a medical misdiagnosis. If Xiao Hong had not undergone surgery, she would not have died young.

If she had lived, she might have been able to write even better in the future. Zhang Ailing, who is as famous as Xiao Hong, lived to be 75 years old and died in 1995.

When Xiao Hong was alive, she also went to Yan'an and had festivals with Ding Ling and others. Later, she left Yan'an. It doesn't matter if it's all kinds of tearing or literati being light.

The important point is that Xiao Hong is indeed an excellent female writer. Not only does she write well, but she also writes even better. At least, that's how Jia Youwei sees it.
