This book tells the story of a person's life.
The protagonist Fu Gui changed from a rich young master to a poor man, and from the son of a landlord to a tenant farmer. He made it himself.
He lost all his property, and his father sold 100 mu of land for copper coins, and sent Fu Gui to the city to pay his debts. He picked up copper coins all day, and his silk clothes were worn out, and blood oozed from his shoulders.
Fu Gui understood his father's intention and let him choose copper coins to pay his debts instead of silver dollars, so that he knew that money was extremely difficult.
His father said: In the past, our Xu ancestors only kept one chicken. When the chicken grows up, it becomes a goose. When the goose was raised, it became a sheep. When raising sheep, the sheep become cattle. This is how our Xu family got up.
Not long after, my father died, and the rich woman Jia Zhen was picked up by her father. A few months later, Jia Zhen came back with You Ching, a rich boy.
Fu Gui went to town for a doctor to see his mother. On the way, he was accidentally taken away by the Kuomintang to carry guns.
Fu Gui survived there and returned to his hometown two years later. However, his mother died two months after he left. Fu Gui's daughter, Xia Feng, became dumb with a fever.
Unfortunately, it is also fortunate that the family can live together and be satisfied.
Later, the land reform overthrew the landlord and Long Er was executed. Fu Gui was glad that he had lost his landlord status and was still alive.
1958, the people's commune was established, eating and working for the public, and living together collectively.
At first, life was a little easier. Later, I encountered natural disasters and my life was difficult. There is nothing to eat. Dig wild vegetables after eating, and dig roots after eating wild vegetables.
People change in the face of hunger.
Wang Si turned out to be a very nice person. Xia Feng dug up the sweet potato, and he took it away, saying that he dug it himself. He almost died because of this.
Human nature is really hard to say.
There was no food at home, so Jia Zhen went into town with branches and asked his father for some rations.
At that time, people in the city were scarce!
Seeing the excitement of the children smelling Daoxiang, Jia Zhen said with tears: Finally, we can have a good meal.
This rice was squeezed out of my father's teeth.
Jia Zhen became more and more ill and could not work in the fields, but after listening to the comfort of wealth, she survived and lived well, but it never rains but it pours. The sensible child Youqing died because he donated too much blood to the county magistrate's woman.
The details of the article and the psychological activities of the characters are very real.
That paragraph: "that night, I walked home with Youqing in my arms, stopped and stopped, and when I was tired, I carried my son on my back." As soon as I put him on my back, I panicked and hugged him again. I couldn't help looking at my son. "
After reading this, I deeply felt the misfortune of my personality, bemoaning the sensible child and constantly regretting it. For Jia Zhen's sake, Fu Gui didn't tell her about the death of Youqing, but as a mother, she didn't understand that she had not seen her son for so many days.
Jia Zhen was desperate, and Fu Gui took Jia Zhen to Youqing's grave. Jia Zhen's poor mother didn't see her son for the last time, but she cried because she missed her child.
Later, Xia Feng married Hill, and her life was good. Hill and Xia Feng are both very filial. During this time, Jia Zhen saw her daughter's happiness and more smiles on her face.
Unfortunately, misfortune began again. Xia Feng was pregnant, and she died of massive bleeding during childbirth. Her son survived. Xia Feng, a poor woman, left Hill, Fu Gui and Jia Zhen.
Jia Zhen lost the last glimmer of hope and passed away soon.
Fu Gui is alone in a thatched cottage, and Hill has bitter roots in the city, being both a father and a mother. In an accident, Hill also passed away, leaving a bitter root.
Fu Gui came to the countryside with bitter roots. The child is also very sensible and knows how to help Fu Gui.
There is a fixed production quotas in the village, so it will be more tiring for Fu Gui to work alone. Coogan is five years old. Although he is young, he can still share some points.
The poor sensible child didn't grow up safely, and Kugen died because he ate too many beans.
Poverty has killed too many people, poor medical conditions and low quality of medical staff. You Qing and Xia Feng died in the hospital, from a poor family, with deep roots and a hard life. Jia Zhen and Hill died one after another.
Is living a personal experience or a person's destiny?
Maybe both. Finally, Fu Gui lives with an old cow.
He said: It is better to be a normal person. Fight this, fight that, fight that, and throw caution to the wind. Like me, it's getting hopeless, but you can live a long life. People I know die one by one, and I'm still alive.
A rich life. It seems that people can't tell whether they are sympathetic or calm. Judging from his words, he seems optimistic. He doesn't complain about life, so he lives. For him, after so much experience, it seems that he has looked down on everything and treated his life calmly.
Individuals are closely linked with the times, and the times will affect the fate of individuals.
Every time I read this article, I can still touch people's hearts, or I feel sad and sad about the fate of the characters inside.
