I said fortune telling.

What is the theme of Yu Hua's Past Smoke?

Yesterday, I saw Yu Hua's past in smoke. After reading it for the second time, I suddenly realized that "going" and "a reality" are tarred with the same brush. Xiao Fenqing's experimental novels pursue a pure psychological stimulus. I can almost imagine that some people will define these two articles as novels that criticize reality, rural superstition and indifference to human nature. But I'm almost sure that the little angry youth pursues pure pleasure when writing this thing.

This pleasure is about death and loneliness, so I can accept and even enjoy this transformation, at least more comfortable than the pursuit of nude pleasure in Brothers II, which makes me feel that Yu Hua has declined.

About death, so everything becomes simple, most of the characters die in the end, and the rest will die. But death doesn't seem that simple. The two ghosts by the river and the ghost who gave birth to a child in the grave make me feel that ghosts are the ultimate indifference of human nature-if they are not indifferent when they are alive. So the ghost by the river will say nothing, fish and eat raw fish; Therefore, the one who gave birth to the child can't see his legs, can't see his face clearly, and his voice will be far away; Therefore, the driver's soul will not be counted as 2 forcing him to death, but stubbornly asking 2 to find him a wife; So fortune tellers will be very afraid of death. .

The whole story, the village and all the people do not belong to the world of the living. Everything is dying, so everything has a gloomy cover, which is gloomy rather than indifferent. Therefore, 4 will talk in his sleep, the driver will commit suicide, the midwife will rot in bed after death, 6 daughters will sell their bodies for 2000 yuan after suicide, 7 will send their sons away to get better, and the fortune teller will kill her five children, take yin to replenish yang, and live abnormally until they are over 90 years old.

This is also a story about ethics, 3 will have children with their grandchildren; 6 will sell seven daughters, the first six each 3000 yuan, the last 4000 yuan died 2000 yuan; The driver and 2 will pay the bride to wash each other's faces at the wedding. The driver had no money and committed suicide in the kitchen. Women in gray will ask God for grandchildren and die after being hinted that they have no children.

The blind man and 4 are the only beauty in the story. The beauty comes from her innocence when she was young. The blind man seems to be the ugly man in Notre Dame de Paris. Blind people will recognize the sound of 4 in downtown, listen silently, and then bless. He has been sitting there waiting for 4 to pass by, waiting for the sound of 4; Will suddenly understand when something happens in 4; When he is in a trance, follow him silently. He went into the river, but he didn't stop him. He sat silently by the river for three days, and then he walked down the river-this is the end of the story. Both of them died, which is a tragedy, but in this story, it seems to be a kind of happiness.

Of course, I like the names of the characters in the novel best. 7, 4, 3, 6, 2, driver, woman in gray, midwife, fortune teller, blind. Simple and indifferent, without any complicated meaning, just a sign, then it disappeared and then it was erased. Push the cold feeling of the story to the extreme.

Finally, there are Yu Hua's description skills, which are invincible to the extreme. . .
