(326) Commenting on Xiao Lao's "Suddenly Looking Back"

Uncle:

My uncle's masterpiece is a long self-narrative documentary novel "Suddenly Looking Back", I finished reading it, after reading it, my heart has been excited, I was infected and didn't know what to say, my uncle's epic is simply a symphony of life and social times, shocking, it's really a masterpiece, I'm ashamed of myself.

I saw your four chapters, more than 640,000 words, before I wrote about your graceful era, then, your masterpiece, I'm afraid it's a huge masterpiece, better, still to come, the more I look at it, the more I like it, and the more you write, the more OK it is.

Your family, not an ordinary people's home, although not a high-ranking official, a famous family, but, it is indeed full of loyalty, benevolence and righteousness, even if it becomes a difficult time, it is also poor and lowly can not be moved, mighty can not bend, for people can be two ribs knife, it is simply the savior of the poor, and the family motto is "loyalty and filial piety, benevolence and righteousness", "highlighting the word loyalty, the official is not high and the righteousness is thin clouds, people are ordinary and the character is high, can be the glory of the Xiao family. Moreover, although there are many members of the family, they are all filial piety to the extreme.

As for the ending of these four chapters in "On February 15, 1949, I followed more than 500 classmates to Changchun and entered Northeastern University", you were handsome and dashing, intelligent and witty, talented, courageous, loyal and patriotic, and helped the poor, although masculine and heroic, but also tender like water, hard and diligent, and unforgiving...... has made Boer admire and worship. From the narrative in this book, and then in the past two months that I have been in contact with you, your words and deeds all reflect the true colors of the outstanding Xiao Xihang in the book, and now you have carried forward the fine character and perfect behavior of your youth. You are truly an extraordinary person, relatable, respectable, and lovable. Always look up to you and learn from you.

Your masterpiece is really a wonderful song, the narration is wonderful, the characters are distinct, the story is moving, the construction is magnificent, the language is fine, the emotion is full, and the spirit is grand...... All of them are tear-jerking, breathtaking, and amazing!

I am ashamed of myself, my uncle's book, and its book, cannot be compared, especially the grandeur of your book, although embarrassed, frustrated, and suffering, it does not lose its heroic spirit, a spirit, and an awe-inspiring inviolability.

Uncle's book, just the Kansai Han, copper pipa, iron plate, singing "Dajiangdong go", my book, only for seventeen or eighteen girls holding the red tooth board, the song "Yang Liu'an, Xiaofeng Wanyue", one bold, one sad, two styles.

As for the skill of the writing, the grandeur of the construction, and the incisiveness of the diction, I cannot hope for it.

Uncle, your book is written to the end, and I look forward to reading it. Your book, let's publish, a shocking work!

More than 640,000 miscellaneous texts, you read it in one go, and wrote such a long article after reading, which makes you too tired. Between you and me, although there is no word of thanks, but it is too difficult for you, how can I bear it? I have self-knowledge, four chapters have been written, and the dust has been sealed for three years, and there is no thought of paying Zizi. Looking around at those large-scale amazing works, I can't help but sigh, disheartened, and dare not ask. But once it is written, it is difficult to change this ambition. As a descendant of the Xiao family, I am quite proud, and I do not put the high style of my relatives, the bamboo silk of the book, and the righteousness of Zhang and the righteousness. After his death, he saw his ancestors underground! Scholars are not talented, but they do not survive, and I will take ten years of vacation to make this dream come true. The second half is the history of blood and tears that I survived in death, but the rest of my life after the catastrophe is a dead wood in spring, the sunset is infinitely good, and the fragrance of flowers is full of dusk. Live to be 100 years old, leave behind five books, and aim to win it. Boer: Beat the drum for me! You are the only one who has read this half-finished product, and Zhang Lixin has read the first 70,000 words of the fourth chapter. Wei Qingsen read the second chapter, and the radio Li Shuqin, Meng Qingge, and Feng Lianying read the first chapter, and they didn't mention any negative opinions, and you didn't tell the truth, but they all gave me great encouragement. It strengthened my confidence and strengthened me
