Midnight reading notes 1
Midnight —— A picture of old China in 1930s.
1933, at midnight, published the representative work "Using realistic social science to express China's social relations and class relations in literature and art". Decades have passed, and the dark China described in Midnight is gone forever, but the heavy history left in the book is worth thinking about. "Midnight" takes the panoramic overall construction of describing China's large-scale social phenomena as its value orientation, and explores social and political issues with a sense of conscious participation.
In 1930s, China was under the dark rule of the Kuomintang. At that time, the landlord big bourgeoisie represented by Chiang Kai-shek, with Chiang Kai-shek inside and imperialism outside, usurped the fruits of the victory of the Great Revolution. They further pushed China into the abyss of a "two and a half" society. The historical terms of the national bourgeoisie and the revolutionary struggle of workers and peasants have been profoundly interpreted in Midnight. Midnight correctly reflects the melody and class relationship of the times with the viewpoint of social science and the method of class analysis. Feng Xuefeng once commented that Midnight is one of the milestones that Lu Xun led China's modern fighting literature and realistic pioneering heroic road to the PLO revolutionary literature.
Wu Sunfu is the most distinctive figure among more than 90 characters in Midnight, a typical national industrial capitalist in the 1930 s and a typical interpretation of the national bourgeoisie. The duality of the national bourgeoisie is vividly reflected in him. He has the ambition, courage and means to develop national industries, and he is "aggressive". As a result, he not only set up money houses, pawn shops, oil mills, rice mills and power plants in Shuangqiao Town, his hometown, but also set up Yuhua Silk Factory in Shanghai, and even co-founded trust companies with national industrial capitalists such as Sun Jiren and Wang. They fantasize that "their light bulbs, thermos bottles, parasols, soap and rubber slippers have traveled all over the hinterland of China!" They shouted, "As long as the country is like a country and the government is like a government, there must be hope for China's industry." .
But "he always thinks of conservatism and compromise." When his ambition was blocked by comprador financial capitalist Zhao, he chose to suppress the workers' strike to pass on his own crisis, and at the same time engaged in "public debt speculation" in an attempt to defeat "public debt devil" Zhao. The reality is cruel. The social and historical reality at that time and the inherent weakness of nationalists determined that Wu Sunfu's fate could only be overcome by "selling" and "one-dollar goods" like Mr. Lin, a small businessman. His sorrow is not himself, but the whole society.
For today's readers, through Midnight, we can understand the social reality of China in the early 1930s, the duality of the national bourgeoisie, the semi-colonial and semi-closed social nature of old China, and the surging trend of the struggle between workers and peasants led by the Party in the 1930s.
Therefore, Midnight is a historical picture that Mr. Mao Dun showed to future generations, so that people today can clearly understand that history.
At the same time, the arrest of Cao Pi, uncle of the old landlord Wu Sunfu, and the strike of female workers in Shanghai Yuhua Silk Factory described in Chapter 13 and Chapter 14 are all historical events from the perspective of literature, so that people can appreciate that magnificent history in literary appreciation.
Reading Notes at Midnight 2
Midnight is like a mirror, reflecting a corner of old China society. Mao Dun is like a storyteller, telling the painful history and showing the blood and tears of a nation full of holes.
The history written by literati is the reality in the eyes of future generations.
Mao Dun, with a keen eye and a sharp pen, has an insight into various tendencies, trends and forces of China society in front of the stage ... so his description has obvious real documentary value. Park Xing-bing, a North Korean scholar, believes that "the historical achievement of Midnight lies in the development of China's social realism literature." It can be said that Midnight is an advanced social document. It shows the "cross section" of China's social development in 1930s to later generations. Midnight not only describes the ever-changing struggle in the speculative market, the bleak prospect of national industry and the urban bourgeois society, but also describes the strike struggle of the working class, the revolutionary riots in the countryside and so on.
Midnight, a social analysis novel, was banned not only during the Kuomintang period, but also during the Kuomintang period. We can also see the social influence and progressive significance of Midnight. These are all based on Mr. Mao Dun's sense of worrying about the country. Comrade Wang Ruofei commented on Mao Dun:
Mr. Mao Dun's creative career has always been linked with the liberation cause of the Chinese nation and the people of China, and reflects this cause. In his creative years, great changes have taken place in China's national liberation cause and China's people's liberation cause, and the trend of China era has been reflected in Mr. Mao Dun's creation ... From Mr. Mao Dun's creative process, we can see the great changes in China society and the ups and downs of China's people's liberation movement. Mr. Mao Dun's greatest success lies in that his creation reflects the dynamics of China's tense, and more importantly, the central content of his creation is related to the people's liberation movement in China.

I woke up when the midnight bell rang. When I woke up, I found that what I dreamed was only the flashy whitewash on the surface of the old vase, which had already been mottled, peeled off and disappeared. ...
He should have become a hero, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time. The semi-colonial and semi-feudal social nature of China doomed the future of China national bourgeoisie like Wu Sunfu to be bleak, and its tragic fate was inevitable.
He is persistent and firm all the time: "No! I still have to do it! There are only a handful of national industries left in China! Silk industry is related to the future of the Chinese nation! As long as the country is like a country and the government is like a government, China's industry will have a lot to offer! " He often indulges in daydreaming about his future grand career. Although he failed in the end, this spirit can't help but make people moved and admired.
"Suddenly, it's like the building fell down and the lights went out." Just like what happened to Wu Sunfu.
Wu Sunfu, who is brave, resourceful and ambitious, will certainly become an all-powerful figure if given the chance. The semi-colonial China of 1930 cannot provide him with a good environment for developing capitalism. Foreign imperialist forces have tried their best to suppress their own national enterprises, and China is also experiencing constant civil strife. State-owned enterprises teetered in the storm and were on the verge of bankruptcy. Wu Sun-fu could only angrily scold, "The Red Army is nothing but bandits!"
Just like Xifeng in Rainbow in A Dream of Red Mansions, Wu Sunfu's outstanding talent and powerful strength are also envied by others. In the Wu family, Tu Chu-chai is an out-and-out moth. In Wu Sunfu's most unforgettable moment, he betrayed his wife and brother, and was driven by money to take refuge in Zhao. At this point, Wu Sunfu's dream of establishing an underdeveloped industrial kingdom was completely shattered. Compared with Wu Sunfu, he is so unfair!
Reading Midnight is like being in the era of "to see the sun, for all his glory, buried by the coming night".
Midnight reading notes 4
I have been reading the book "Midnight" these days. When I really calm down, it is the moment of the last two days. When I hit the keyboard, it also recorded my sporadic memories when I was reading.
The author of Midnight is Mao Dun, a famous writer of the older generation in China. Midnight shows us the tragedy of the fate of a national industrial capital society-how a powerful and promising national industrial tycoon, under the double squeeze of imperialism and warlord politics and under the attack of the workers' and peasants' revolution, running all the way has been losing ground.
When reading Midnight, we have to pay attention to its structure: grand and compact, with clear context. Only the beginning and end chapters can show the author's originality. When the soft breeze from Shanghai gently blew on the Suzhou River, making people feel weak all over, Wu Sunfu greeted his injured old father in order to avoid disaster. At this time, Wu Sunfu was majestic and arrogant. At the end of the book, Wu Sunfu was defeated by Zhao, and his factory, bank and residence were all gone. He had to take his wife to Guling to calm down, quiet and depressed. Doesn't this noisy and quiet echo reflect the author's ingenuity?
In addition, the outstanding feature of the structure of Midnight is also reflected in this moment: she concentrates many characters, complex contradictions, numerous clues, ever-changing struggles and broad life scenes on a broad historical background, and through the development of characters' personality and destiny, it clearly and powerfully shows the development trend and grandeur of the whole era, shows superb structural artistic talent, and also shows Mao Dun's art of "writing big times" from one side.
Throughout the whole novel, Wu Sunfu, an image full of distinct personality contradictions, is presented to us at this moment. He is smart, enterprising and flexible, and has the ambition to revitalize China's national industry, but the fundamental purpose of this desire is limited to personal interests; He hated foreign imperialism and bureaucrat-comprador capitalists, but for his own benefit, he suppressed farmers outdoors and brutally exploited and squeezed workers. He has many contradictions not only with bureaucratic comprador capitalists, but also with a few capitalists. At home, he and his wife are inseparable. He has a respectable and professional face, and at the same time he rapes maids and plays with socialites. The characters are very authentic. From this, it is no accident that Wu Sunfu finally went bankrupt.
And Mr. Mao Dun is good at depicting characters with psychological description, which also left a deep impression on me. He reveals the subconscious activities of the characters through careful analysis; At the same time, it combines the explanation of plot, calligraphy feeling and description of scenery, showing its unique artistic charm. For example, in the last chapter of the novel, Wu Sunfu's psychological state can be roughly divided into three stages: fidgeting before the decisive battle. In the decisive battle, sometimes nervous, sometimes panic, sometimes surprised, sometimes angry; The head of despair after the decisive battle is like an arrow through the heart. These have greatly promoted the development of the story.
Perhaps these sporadic memories can't explain anything, but what they leave behind are some real feelings in my heart.

I often think that we have no right to choose an era, but we have the right to choose a life. Wu Sunfu, who lived in the era of machinery industry in the 20th century, could not say "no" to living in such an era because he had no right. However, in such an era, he has the right to choose a life. He resolutely became a hero knight and "prince" of that era. He resolutely shoulders the heavy responsibility of developing national industry and holds high the banner of national industry. Although he finally went to the "comprador", there was too much helplessness and necessity in it.
"Grinning" is the most commonly used word to describe Wu Sunfu in the book, which seems to add a little power to his purple face. You can imagine what kind of face it is. So how to interpret such a trembling face? I think it should be analyzed from the historical background. Wu Sunfu, who lived in the 20th century, can only adapt to the times, but can't change an era. The import of cheap foreign materials, the outflow of surplus capital, the obstruction of domestic comprador capitalists and the scuffle between warlords all made the development of the national industry founded by Wu Sunfu difficult and its prospects bleak. What is his anxiety at this time? The rising price of raw materials, the surging wave of workers' strikes, speculators' speculation and the insatiable greed of warlords and bureaucrats all troubled him, adding another burden to his already unhappy and calm heart and making the sea of hearts that should have been surging for a long time surge with overwhelming waves. How did he handle it? How did he respond? How does he vent? Maybe he just grinned. Perhaps this "grimace" is more of an angry smile than a helpless smile.
After reading this book, I deeply understand Wu Sunfu's helplessness and helplessness. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that he is a hero in the era of machinery industry in the 20th century. He is a hero. Although this hero is too difficult, you may argue that no hero is simple, but the hero we usually call has concrete and considerable deeds there, which can be seen at a glance, and is moved and admired by their heroic feats. However, what did Wu Sunfu do and what moved him? However, he overcame the contradictions of the times and was in such a complicated whirlpool of contradictions. He proved himself with courage, potential and courage. He went forward bravely and worked hard for China's national industry. Although he can't escape the fate of failure in the end, can he succeed in that era? What can he do in such a changeable historical stage?
Wu Sunfu, as a national capitalist, also has difficulties. In fact, he didn't want China's national industry to develop; Why didn't he want to make China's national industry independent and prop up his own sky? He doesn't want to bow to speculators, warlords and bureaucrats. But these were impossible in those days. Wu Sunfu, the star of national industry, should shine brilliantly, but he has to deal with the tragedy of falling!

Midnight marks that Mao Dun's creation has entered a new mature stage, and it is an excellent revolutionary realistic novel in China's modern literature. It was written in 193 1 year1month and completed in 19321February. Before I started writing, I went through a long process of preparation and conception. The contradiction and struggle between Wu Sunfu, a national industrial capitalist, and Zhao, a comprador financial capitalist, is a main thread throughout the book. Around this main line, Midnight reflects the development of revolution around 1930 and the social outlook of China where a single spark can start a prairie fire.
Midnight highlights Wu Sunfu's personality characteristics from various complicated social relations. As a typical figure of the national bourgeoisie in semi-feudal and semi-colonial China, Wu Sunfu's character is a distinct and contradictory unity. On the one hand, he has "indignation from the standpoint of national industry", but on the other hand, it is "personal interests" that overwhelm him. He is "running an industry", and he takes the development of national industries as his own responsibility. He has always opposed people like Tu Chu-chai who have big capital and specialize in buying and selling land, gold and government bonds. But he can't help but fall into crazy public debt speculation. He expected to realize his bourgeois ideal of "democratic politics" and hoped that the military action of the "Northern Enlargement Conference" organized by the Kuomintang and local warlords against Chiang Kai-shek would be successful at an early date. However, when the military progress in the north was not conducive to his public debt activities, he was "afraid that the military forces in the north would develop too fast." He is smart and tough, but he can't help showing the inherent weakness of the national bourgeoisie in China. He is sometimes decisive, sometimes suspicious, sometimes full of confidence, sometimes depressed; On the surface, he seems to have a plan, but in essence, it is a counterintuitive move. All this is so contradictory and naturally unified in Wu Sunfu's character.
Midnight not only describes the character and fate of Wu Sunfu and Zhao in the contradictory struggle between trust companies and bond speculation market, but also describes Wu Sunfu's close connection with rural feudal economy and his irreconcilable attitude towards the peasant armed uprising. In his attitude towards outdoor workers, he also showed his reactionary face of desperately squeezing workers and hating the revolution.

With some respect and admiration for the master, I opened Midnight, a very heavy book, which vaguely revealed a sense of vicissitudes. Rows of Song fonts are square, but they show the extraordinary experience of an extraordinary person.
"Midnight" tells us the story like this: Wu Sunfu, the owner of the silk factory, is ambitious and wants to continue to develop on the basis of his existing industry, and then expand his capital and set up a big company. But he was born at the wrong time, and the general strike was finally put down with the help of his staff, Tu Yue Wei. After stabilizing the factory, Wu Sunfu worked hard and finally set up a bank in partnership, and bought eight small factories at a low price, specializing in daily necessities. However, due to the continuous war, sales have been seriously affected, and capital turnover is difficult, which stifles the development of enterprises. At the insistence of Wu Sunfu and his partners, Zhao concentrated Wu Sunfu's property. He used a lot of means. Finally, under fatigue, he used the killer weapon: in the name of "domestic bond maintenance meeting", he asked the government to ban short selling, and he also went directly to the board of directors and brokers meeting of the outdoor exchange to encourage them to send a message to increase the seller's margin, more than doubling it. Wu Sun-fu happens to be a short seller, so he has to ask his brother-in-law Tu Chu-chai to invest a lot of money in short sellers, or he can take a chance. Who knows that Tu Chu-chai betrayed his brother-in-law, Wu Sunfu, and invested money in Zhao. Finally, Wu Sunfu went bankrupt.
In Midnight, the author Mao Dun created many characters for us: the most important one is, of course, the protagonist Wu Sunfu, who is burly, resolute, rich and powerful, courageous and resourceful, but he was defeated by complicated factors when he realized his dream of establishing a large industrial company; Ye Zhao, a financial capitalist, is an important figure. He not only has a political background, but also has deep connections in the military field. He was called "the devil in the bond market", and he drove Wu Sunfu to the wall. ...
Although Midnight is a masterpiece, it is grand, compact and clear. You can see it from beginning to end. At the beginning, the soft wind in Shanghai blew on people's faces, and the Suzhou River turned golden green and quietly flowed westward. Huangpu River is full of "light, heat and force". At this time, Wu Sunfu was rich and powerful. In the end, Wu Sunfu's factory, bank and residence were gone, and his dream was certainly dashed. Wu Sunfu, defeated by Zhao, took his aunt to spend the summer. A head and a tail constitute a sharp contrast, and we have to marvel at the tragic losses suffered by a national industrial tycoon under the double squeeze of imperialism and warlord politics and under the attack of the workers and peasants revolution.
After watching Midnight, I thought quietly. Midnight, like a history book and a political book, tells us the darkness of China's urban society in the semi-colonial and semi-feudal period, and tells us that the only way to liberate China is to follow the just teacher led by the * * * production party.

Midnight is a novel written by Mao Dun 1896- 198 1, a famous modern writer in China. Mao Dun writes novels almost with a historical attitude. The plot of Midnight is embedded in the real historical time and space from May to July of 1930.
The bond trading and the war between Chiang Kai-shek and Chiang Kai-shek described in the novel are all well-documented and true historical facts. At the same time, the language of Midnight is concise, delicate and vivid. It has no over-Europeanized language, and occasionally uses ancient idioms, which is just right and interesting.
Mao Dun's novels are famous for his panoramic observation of social life. The stage background of Midnight is Shanghai in the early 1930s. Instead of intercepting an alley and a street corner, the writer shows all aspects of this modern city from a overlooking perspective: the luxurious living room of the capitalist, the complicated struggle in the factory, the roaring fire in the securities market, the rhetoric of the poet and professor, and the tragic love of ladies and gentlemen, all of which are combined into the plot of Midnight.
Midnight reading notes 10
Midnight is a novel that reflects the sharp contradiction and struggle between Wu Sunfu, a national industrial capitalist, and Zhao, a comprador financial capitalist. It depicts the broad social picture of China in the early 1930s from all directions and angles, and indirectly reflects the social panorama of China with the in-depth development of the revolution and the trend of starting a prairie fire at that time.
What impressed me most was Wu Sunfu, who felt like a soldier, always trying his best there, as if he would never get tired. For the sake of his own enterprise and national industry, he had to continue to struggle with Zhao, the broker of American imperialism. For the sake of his factory, he had to make great efforts to quell the strike; In order to expand the scale, he tried his best to acquire and merge other small factories. Therefore, it can be said that he is a business giant, but he was born at an inopportune time, because the hand of imperialist aggression tightly gripped the throat of China's national industry. In the end, all his ambitious plans and seemingly impeccable strategies to turn the tide can only end in failure, which is not only his sorrow, but also the sorrow of that era and society. At the same time, he is also a bloody and cruel exploiter, which can be seen from his determination to deduct workers' wages and the strength to crack down on strikers. But then again, can you blame him? No, that's what capitalists do. It is their nature to extract workers' surplus value. In a word, he is a tragic hero in my mind! There is also a particularly good place in this book, which is the scene description of trading places. Can't say it's a sea of people and enthusiasm. It reflects the current turmoil, but it also reflects the opportunistic psychology of many citizens who are addicted to gambling and want to get something for nothing.
Gambling has always been a problem in China. People say that "small gambling is good for your feelings, but big gambling hurts your health", but without small gambling, there is no big gambling. Therefore, we should start with small gambling, so that the social atmosphere will be slightly better and foreigners will ask fewer questions about mahjong. In a word, Midnight clearly and powerfully shows the complicated development trend of the whole era through the development of characters' personalities and fates: the blockade and aggression of foreign capitalism on enterprises in China and China! After reading the whole book, I not only felt the profound literary connotation of Mr. Contradiction, but also understood the helplessness of the protagonists in the social background at that time. Personal desires and dreams must conform to the trend of society, and it is impossible to sail against the current!
At the same time, through some details, the writer touched on the rural scene and the ongoing war in the Central Plains, further expanding the life capacity of his works. Therefore, Midnight is not only an epic of the overall situation, but also a delicate and euphemistic description of the details. It shows the luxury and rolling business opportunities of old Shanghai in the 1930s with great fanfare, and also describes Wu Sunfu, an ill-timed national capitalist, in detail, showing Wu Sunfu's surrender and struggle as a national capitalist.
