I saw Zhang Ailing waiting.

When I saw Waiting for the first time, I glanced at it, but I didn't leave any impression, and I couldn't tell the characters inside. I only knew that there were Mrs. Pang, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Tong? . These characters have vague faces and nothing special about their manners, but they feel a little disgusted with their wives.

Later, I happened to see an analysis of the article "Waiting" written in a post, which seemed to peel away some fog in my heart and let me have a glimpse of some artistic conception of "Waiting".

So, on a spring afternoon with Huang Chengcheng rape flowers printed outside the window, I chose to walk into the waiting world.

First of all, I am surprised that as a woman, Aileen's description of children doesn't seem to be particularly affectionate. In her eyes, the child is "like a sick piece of lard" and "sleeps like a red mountain". Aileen's sharp eyes quickly captured the less lovely side of the children's images, even if the description was accurate and vivid.

It can be understood that genius lives for itself. Aileen will not sacrifice her spiritual world for her family and children. She has completely lived her life as she wants.

Next, there are several wives in the clinic, and there are many wives in it. It is necessary to carefully straighten out the appearance order of each wife in order to better understand the spiritual world of several wives in the article.

The first appearance is Mrs. Wang, who is Mr. Gao-Mr. Gao's menstruation who is doing massage in Mr. Pang's clinic. She is in her thirties. As soon as Mr. Gao finished the massage, she hurried out of her head, skillfully took Mr. Gao's clothes off the hook, hooked them with rattan, and skillfully hooked a hat hanging on the hook-otherwise she would be too short. And then detain him one by one.

Only one action description is needed to vividly show an old French aunt's skillful means of serving men, such as "appearing in front of Mr. Gao", "detaining him one by one" and "being skillful and extraordinary".

I don't want to criticize this concubine's practice from a moral or theoretical level. In that patriarchal society, women, especially those who regard men as their long-term meal tickets, feel a little disgusted at the same time. At least, you can get the same reward for your labor and energy, so don't be so humble and humble. At the same time, in that era, women should. So it is not surprising that this aunt serves her man with very skillful means. You can also say that she is more dedicated.

She just wants to live humbly.

Aunt said goodbye to the ladies around her very sweetly.

"Women don't pay much attention to her." In a simple sentence, the humble status of aunts in the old society was outlined with the attitude of others. The same applies to women. A group of women look down on another woman, no matter what the reason, contempt or jealousy, this sentence can accurately describe the subtle and complicated psychological state of women at that time. -If there is a group of women.

Massage doctor Pang Songling came out to wash his hands and eat jiaozi. Mrs. Pang took his cigarette and shouted. The couple did not say a word. In a word, it simply and vividly summarizes the cold and boring passerby relationship between the couple, who regard each other as air. The second lady Wang appeared, wearing a tweed coat. Mrs. Pang commented on her clothes, and all the ladies in the room joined in the conversation. Mrs. Wang smiled and agreed, but she didn't know how to be humble. Mr. Pang asked her if there was a drugstore in the alley, but Mrs. Wang couldn't answer at the moment. When asked again, she said, "Last time we were here, we answered irrelevant questions." Peng Richeng stopped asking her anything.

There are no superfluous modifiers and words. Send the real scene to the readers' eyes, and let them see what kind of lady this is, like a thoughtless puppet. She just lets her life run every day and goes to the clinic for massage. In order to keep healthy, she continues to live this boring life day after day.

Mrs. Xi joined the topic of her opinion on Mrs. Wang's clothes. She has a small pink egg face, low-key eyebrows, slight wrinkles and a row of bangs. She looks ordinary, but Zhang Ailing's characteristic is to draw the characteristics of ordinary people in a simple way: plain, light and inconspicuous. It highlights one of the most obvious features: lightness. Such women are everywhere, and readers will immediately think of such women around them after reading them.

Mrs Xi's husband is a mainland official, leaving her unattended. Of course, she was full of resentment: "Tell them to beg! Ordered them to beg, because the war has to supplement the population. " Mrs. Xi said again that everyone in the room was listening to her, so she felt a little proud and beat the sofa with her handbag: beg, let them beg.

Later, a Mrs. Tong came in. She said to Mrs. Bao, "I'll go up the mountain when my three eldest wives get married." I am so angry that my legs can't stand. "

"? The old man was in trouble, so I tried to save him. As a result, as soon as he came out, he accused me of taking money improperly, and I was quite freehand in it? "

As she spoke, she suddenly became lonely and stopped talking. All the in-laws who brought her suffering died, leaving her fumbling in a crimson paint bucket? Inexplicable loneliness.

Mrs. Xi advised Mrs. Tong not to be angry, and advised her to go to the church of Jesus to listen to the priest's lecture, telling the above orders to let the men ask for some small favors.

Mrs. Tong listened blankly: "Oh? The fortune teller said that I was at odds with him. "

7788, toss and turn, two people say their own things, just like different pendulums, vacillating and not bordering each other. Finally, Mrs Xi became impatient, and they felt lonely again.

The woman here is like an unremarkable dirty, shabby and outdated dress worn by her husband, who looks down on her and wants to wear her and use her at the same time. As for her, while hating him, she misses him all the time, as if there is no other memory worthy of her nostalgia except him in this life.

Through this article, I realized the boredom, boredom and emptiness of wives. However, they still have to live, whether for their children or for their husbands. They once existed in this world, just like me. So Aileen's greatness lies in showing the history of each of us to readers truly. I feel sad to see it, but at the same time I have a sense of joy similar to seeing the life of the same kind.

I seem to see Zhang Ailing sitting in the massage room, quietly watching all this. She used her intelligent mind, thoughtful eyes and all the senses: hearing, sight and smell to feel the words and deeds of several wives in the clinic, and portrayed their images and personalities in a calm and realistic style. Let readers touch the soul.

Aileen let each of us see our own shadow in her articles. So, on this beautiful spring afternoon, I met my old self. Subtle joy, warm spring breeze and cloudy days are precious memories left by traces of life.
