works appreciation

Bronze Sunflower is not a fairy tale about a peach blossom garden. While the author entrusts the world with such key words as "innocence" and "beauty", another key word hidden behind the incident is "suffering":

In front of the story is the countryside, a paradise for children, and a beautiful human nature, but behind the story is endless suffering and its gloom, a wisp of melancholy and compassion that is as intangible as the rainy season in the south.

Historical and political disasters such as "May 7th Cadre School", natural disasters such as "locust plague", famine, impermanence of life and fate of characters. , diffuse among them, just for these sufferings.

Cao Wenxuan chose "don't write about sadness and pain", such as Fei Ming to Huangmei, Shen Congwen to Xiangxi and Wang Zengqi to Gaoyou, attaching them to ignorant teenagers, "diluting the world that readers can see" and "generally omitting or falsely writing about disasters and pain.

Every time I write about these places, I always ignore them. I will never stay in these places, let alone do sensational tricks to turn or expand the "suffering" in sudden, special and accidental disasters into universal suffering.

The accidental and impermanent life experience and the fate of many characters are transformed into the questioning of human existence, thus dissolving the event color of "suffering" in the general sense and escaping into the metaphysical level of existence.
