Young woman's face and peach blossom-miss a peerless beauty

I finished reading Ge Fei's Peach Blossom with a Face in one day, and when I read the second chapter and the third chapter, I found that I had read this book several years ago, but I was not impressed, or even completely impressed. I think my memory is good, especially the books I have read. Why don't I remember this book at all? After thinking for a long time, I suddenly realized that it might be its fantastic writing technique.

I have seen Mai Jia's Sea of Life before, and I have a splitting headache. After reading it, it turned out to be a very simple story, but the author's fantastic writing technique made this book full of suspense and even ghosts, just like a peach blossom with a face. Ge Fei describes Xiu Mi's dreams in a lot of words in this book, but these dreams make you feel that they are not dreams, but real ones. Perhaps the author just wants to create such an atmosphere, because the map of Taoyuan throughout the book and the Datong society that several protagonists want to build are their dreams under the chaotic social conditions at that time. So when your dreams are shattered, deep powerlessness and frustration will come to you, and you will fall into the abyss and be out of breath. This may be the theme of this book that the author wants to convey, praising the revolutionaries who ran away from home in the early days and sacrificed their lives to build a great society. Even if it failed in the end, it left a deep impression in history.

The second theme conveyed in the book should be complex human nature, especially the love triangle relationship between Xiu Mi and his mother Mei Yun, Xiu Mi and Zhang Jiyuan, and Zhang Jiyuan and Mei Yun. Xiu Mi and Zhang Jiyuan love each other, but they dare not develop further. They can only hold each other, try each other and misunderstand each other, and finally come to an end with the death of Zhang Jiyuan. With the appearance of Zhang Jiyuan's diary, this relationship was pushed to a climax naked, so Xiu Mi and Meiyun could not be completely redeemed. Finally, Meiyun found a family for Xiu Mi in Changzhou, opposite the Yangtze River. She was going to get married, but she met bandits in the wedding photos. However, her mother Mei Yun refused to pay the ransom for her redemption. Of course, in the end, my mother Mei Yun died, and Xiu Mi didn't obey her mother's wishes and buried her in the lily field, because Zhang Jiyuan was buried there, and neither fish nor fowl love turned the interdependent mother and daughter into enemies. Xiu Mi didn't cry or make trouble in the bandit nest greenhouse. In her opinion, her favorite Zhang Jiyuan died, and so did her heart. As for this body, whoever likes it will spoil it! However, the Marco Polo she saw on the boat and her eyes greatly changed her fate. In order to get Xiu Mi, Mami attended a trade fair and killed the person in charge of the greenhouse. Xiu Mi naturally embarked on the road of revolution. What is human nature like? Is it really so selfless and fearless to build a great society? Zhang Jiyuan also asked himself what the revolution was for, and finally wrote in his diary that it was for women, for Xiu Mi, for what the Ma 'ai Revolution was for, and for Xiu Mi. So, let's take a look, whether it is Zhang Jiyuan, a revolutionary leader who has read a lot of books, or illiterate, who manages horses for bandits, in the end, their purpose is to return to the most primitive human nature. Revolution is to get the woman you love.

The third chapter of this book tells the story of Xiu Mi's attempt to establish her ideal Datong society after her return from Japan. Her children brought a lot of joy to everyone, but in the end, he died tragically at gunpoint at the age of five. The seemingly majestic headmaster holds the power of life and death in Puji, but his people are different. Only the little thing loved Xiu Mi without hesitation. Seeing the officers and men coming, he was desperate to tip off the news to his mother. Ada, Xiu Mi's father's concubine and Xiu Mi's playmate, betrayed her because of the words of a fake fortune teller. Pig Dragon Shoubei and Ada occupied more than 0/00 mu of fertile land in Xiu Mi/KLOC, and destroyed the revolution. But in fact, before the dragon garrison destroyed the revolution, Xiu Mi's school was riddled with holes, and the people gathered around her were not serious people. Everyone has their own ulterior motives, so they have a better place to go, and immediately stopped following Xiu Mi's revolution, and even took the military money raised by Xiu Mi to buy land, except Tan Sitong. Of course, Tan Sitong followed Xiu Mi not necessarily for the revolution, but also for Xiu Mi. Xiu Mi was eventually arrested and imprisoned, where she gave birth to her and Si Tan's son, but was taken away and disappeared. Revolution actually changes human nature. Ada's betrayal and Si Tan's insistence are all for themselves, but human nature is innate. Can it be changed? Therefore, under the background at that time, the failure of the revolution was inevitable.

In the last chapter, Xiu Mi is released from prison. Unfortunately, she became mute. She didn't really speak, but punished herself by not speaking. In her opinion, she lost something because she was bent on revolution. Obviously, she felt remorse for her behavior, which can also explain that many revolutionaries later invited her out of the mountain again, but she refused them one by one, including Six Fingers. She should be really disappointed, so she doesn't care about the world and is only addicted to flowers and plants. Finally, she saw through her past and future through the ice flowers in the pottery jar. She knew her vulnerability and smallness, but she couldn't bear the reality and died of angina pectoris. Compared with her trip, the simple and honest servant girl magpie has no culture, but lives tenaciously, living for the sake of living. One day, in order to communicate with Xiu Mi, she learned to read and write poems. After tasting the sweetness of culture, she also began to feel a little uneasy. When you know too much, you can't live a simple or even single life as before, so is reading and writing good or bad? At that time, China people said he was ignorant, but he was hardworking and kind. Now China people are literate, but full of treacherous calculations, they refuse to be a down-to-earth person. Is this historical progress or retrogression? Or is it the inevitable result of the complexity of human nature?
