After watching Yu Hua's "Seventh Day", why I realize why it is more courageous than death.

"Old Testament · Genesis" records: "On the seventh day, the work of the gods has been completed, and it is on the seventh day."

More than 10 years ago, Yu Hua also wrote a "seven -day rest" story with a great wave of magical realism- "Seventh Day".

In the novel, a 40 -year -old man named Yang Fei died unexpectedly, and his soul wandered in the life and death of life and death. In 7 days, he experienced the injustice, absurd and cruel in the world.

In the form of soul, he witnessed the misery and pain of ordinary people, helpless and desperate.

I thought it was hard enough to live.

But I did not expect that the truth of the world after death was full of sinister and cruel.

Yu Hua said: "" Day Seventh Day "is the latest writing of my distance."

In this absurd story, there is a difficult compassion for the livelihood of the people, and there is also a force that dies.

1

Everyone will encounter injustice and helplessness

The protagonist Yang Feimo vaguely remembered that he was eating noodles in a restaurant during his lifetime. With the sudden explosion, he instantly fell into a coma and fell asleep.

When the funeral home's harsh call woke him up, Yang Fei realized that he was dead.

On this day, he was informed to de -cremation, but when his undead arrived at the funeral home, he found that it was not different from the living world.

Here, people are still divided into three, six or nine.

Rich people wear exquisite Shouyi and show off their expensive ashes and cemeteries; and poor people like Yang Fei are squeezed on the cold chair, and they dare not say loudly.

Here, there are still difficult hidden rules that are difficult to change.

For example, once the powerful people return to the West, all other undead can only wait, and wait for the grand funeral to end before they can turn themselves.

Here, there is still something that makes you embarrassed.

Some people have no decent clothes after their death. No one is delivered, and there is no graveyard to go. They can only be disliked and float around.

Yang Fei has no money, and naturally can't afford the cemetery. He can only wander back to the world again, hovering in the yin and yang realm.

The next day, Yang Fei even met his ex -wife who had committed suicide -Li Qing.

The two of them were a happy husband and wife. Soon after the marriage, Li Qing became emotional and abandoned him.

Li Qing was on the big model and lived well, but he didn't want to be involved in the corruption case of senior officials. He had to thank him for his death.

Goodbye now, Li Qingman regrets and apologies. She complained to Yang Fei, but was urged to destroy the burial and had to abandon him again.

After bidding farewell to Li Qing, Yang Fei fluttered back to the rental house, where he remembered his father.

During his lifetime, in order to treat his father Yang Jinbiao, he sold his house, he sold his house; and in order to take care of his father, he quit his stable job. But in the end, his father ran away from home, causing him not to see the last side.

He shook his head helplessly: When he was alive, he was like a lonely ghost in the crowd, and he endured pain and pressure alone; he still had no power to do everything after death.

He was still impoverished, and he was still not valued. The regrets in his heart could not be relieved, and the situation of life was still humble.

As a disappointed middle -aged man, Yang Fei's dilemma of life is not the epitome of you and me in reality.

Unconvinced destiny, there is a life to live in high -rise buildings, and a life is rust. Even if you strive to move forward, you still cannot change your destiny;

The world is unpredictable. Some people can't keep it, and some things you do is better than others.

The world is different from imagination. The uneven situation has long been full of helplessness and unfairness in everyone's life.

Picking up the burden of life is far more difficult than death

In the next few days, Yang Fei encountered many "poor ghosts" like him.

Among them, "Rat Girl" Liu Mei was the oldest one with him.

Liu Mei's life is like a farce. Her death is just a few lines in the news -a young woman jumped off the building and committed suicide because her boyfriend sent her boyfriend to the cottage.

Liu Mei seemed to be ignorant. In fact, she did not die for the cottage iPhone, or she didn't want to die at all.

During her lifetime, she and her boyfriend Wu surpassed the extremely poor days. She lived in the dark and humid basement, and was nicknamed the "rats".

They came from the countryside to the city and wanted to live a good life with hard -working hands.

But life is too difficult. When the most difficult time, they can't even buy bread.

They went to the restaurant as a waiter, went to the hair salon, and did the dirtiest and most tired work. They were still contempt and oppressed by others, but they still could not make a few money.

In order to make life a little hope, Wu Chao intends to send her a mobile phone while Liu Mei's birthday.

He worked hard to make money, often 24 hours a shaft.

But after the mobile phone was delivered, the people around me knew that it was fake at a glance that Liu Mei was ridiculed.

Liu Mei was so angry that she was not angry for her mobile phone, and Wu Chao deceived her.

But when she asked her boyfriend to question, Wu Chao evaporated on earth and did not know where to go.

Liu Mei left a message on the Internet and said that Wu Chao would jump off the building again.

As a result, when netizens watched it, they didn't console, but they said, "Go to jump.

In this way, Liu Mei embarked on Huangquan Road.

After she died, she knew that Wu Chao disappeared for nothing else because his father was seriously ill and had to rush back to his hometown.

Liu Mei, who was also a lonely ghost, said to Yang Fei: "Death is really simple, and it is difficult to live.

Not only Liu Mei, you and me in reality are not forced to move forward by survival, and always bear Ling Chi who is always life. This kind of persecution can be seen everywhere in the novel.

Some people work hard and work hard, but in the end, the opportunity is someone else's, but the back of the pot is the only one;

There are others different flow, and the result is tragically framed, and it becomes the target of criticism in rumors and prejudice.

There are a lot of disciplines in the world. The burden of survival, inner suffering, and the disillusionment of hope cannot be scrutinized.

You are trying to bow your head to live, you just want to ask yourself and your family to be stable, but in the end, even an ordinary person can't do it well;

You have the world, and the ambition Ling Yun, but has to hit and frustrate one by one, suffer self -doubts, endure the outside of the outside world;

You want to fight for a miracle for your life, but the reality is that failure and regret often win you.

Life is too steep, but there is never a lack of people who are in the world in this world.

They are the real brave, and they will not die for some reason, but for a responsibility, dare to live slightly and firmly.

Life is really bitter, a little sweet can be cured

In a period of "The Story of Qi Qi", Bobenni said: "There are many people in my heart, how much sweetness does it take to fill it?"

Ma Dong replied: "There are a lot of bitter people in their hearts, and they can fill it with a little sweetness."

Before meeting Liu Mei, Yang Fei returned to his hometown on the third day. This is the only place in his life that can perceive love and warmth.

More than 40 years ago, as soon as he was born, he was abandoned by his mother at the train station, and was adopted by 20 -year -old railway worker Yang Jinbiao.

In his memory, childhood was the tender arm of the adoptive father, and the shaking rough cradle.

At that time, he went out to work with his father every day, and was hugged in front of his chest, stuck with his father's young and powerful heart, and listening to the rumbling sound of the distance in the distance. He could always sleep steadily.

The father and son lived in the courtyard of the railway dormitory. The twenty -square -meter hut was full of laughter. The diaper was covered with a layer of shadeed leaves.

Yang Jinbiao lived in the ascetic monk -like life for Yang Feigan.

Until three years later, his beloved girl appeared, and Yang Jinbiao thought of sending away Yang Fei.

On this day, Yang Jinbiao threw Yang Fei at the door of the orphanage, but as soon as he returned home, he was like a knife. He decided: even if he was single for a lifetime, Yang Fei could not leave Yang Fei.

He hugged Yang Fei overnight, and his father and son had never separated again for decades.

Time flies, Yang Fei grew up day by day, and Yang Jinbiao went old every day.

Once, Yang Fei had a wealthy and powerful biological parents who had asked him, promising his future.

But Yang Fei and Yang Jinbiao finally chose their conscience and did not abandon each other.

Later, Yang Jinbiao suffered from lymphatic cancer. In order not to drag Yang Fei, he left his home forever.

His father was gone, but the love and warmth he brought to his son was Yang Fei's biggest comfort in the world.

In the novel, there are too many touching stories.

Li Yuezhen, who has great love, not only takes care of Yang Fei grew up like a mother, but also takes care of more than 20 homeless babies after death;

Liu Mei's boyfriend Wu Chao bought a good graveyard for his girlfriend, and he hoped that she would no longer drift;

Parents and daughters who are separated from the yin and yang between yin and yang during the force, even if they are different in life and death, they still miss each other and cannot forget ...

Yu Hua wrote in the novel:

No matter how beautiful the experience, it will become the past, no matter how deep sorrow, it will fall yesterday. As the passing of time is not merciless, life is like a process of healing. We are injured, cured, then injured, and then cured.

We will be beaten throughout our lives all over the body, but in the bitter days, even if we pick up a sugar occasionally, we can regain hope.

The accompaniment in lonely, the help in the desperate state, and the sorrow of each other are precisely the reason why we live for others.

Because, a little bit of Mars hidden in the dark and deep, you can ignite the flames in your heart.

After meeting Liu Mei on the fourth day, Yang Fei went to her lonely gathers with her- "the place where there was no burial."

There is no difference in status here, and there is no difference in the grade of the rich and poor. It is also here that Yang Fei learned the whereabouts of his father's death.

It turned out that after his father died, he went to the funeral home as a welcome member.

On the seventh day, Yang Fei went to the funeral home to recognize his father. Later, he relieved all his love and hatred, with a peaceful heart, and went away to formally say goodbye to the world.

Yu Hua's works have always been rooted in the land he loved, watching all beings compassion, and asking us to ask us for fate and humanity.

As Professor Huang Yiyu of Peking University said: "Yu Hua's" Seventh Day ", wrote the sorrow and kindness of the Chinese."

Life is like a quagmire, full of traps, but we caught in muddy, we can also become a seed, breaking the soil in love and warmth.

Accepting everything is not the helpless move in the persecution, but to recognize the tenacity and bravery after life;

Following forward is not to compete with life, but to choose the transcendent wisdom of grief and indignation.

Regardless of how fate is bumpy, we must become the fighter in life and cross the other side we want to go.
