Zhang Ailing's interpretation of fate: Among thousands of people … neither too early nor too late … What is this sentence?

The specific content of this sentence is: I met the person you met among thousands of people. In thousands of years, in the boundless wilderness of time, I happened to catch up, neither earlier nor later. There is nothing else to say, but gently ask, "Oh, are you there?"

This sentence comes from Zhang Ailing's essay Love. This essay captures the moment in the dream period, which is the core of understanding this essay. Because it is instantaneous, it becomes eternal, eternal treasure and eternal aftertaste. The accidental meeting of thousands of people, the accidental meeting of thousands of years, this fatalistic warmth is fixed in an instant.

Zhang Ailing wrote a short story in this essay. Although there is only a synopsis of the plot, it also has its sadness. At the beginning, Zhang Ailing wrote: "This is true." It's really true. According to Hu Lancheng's This Life, the protagonist of the story is the common mother of Hu Lancheng's wife Yufeng. Her experience is similar to that of a girl in love. I think Zhang Ailing heard this story from Hu Lancheng.

When Zhang Ailing wrote this story, it was the time when she was madly in love with Hu. Zhang Ailing has always rejected romanticism, but this love affair with Hu Lancheng is a short romantic period in her life, almost the only one.

Therefore, among Zhang Ailing's numerous works, the short essay Love shows a different style, and such bright poetry is almost unique in Zhang Ailing's works, which supports her understanding, emotion and reverie of love at the moment. When people are in love, their understanding of love is always different from other periods.

Although there are differences between Zhang Ailing's novels and essays, novels express her tragic life consciousness more, and essays express her secular life more, but they are external and internal, and the secular life in essays is based on tragic consciousness. Division does not mean division. The same writer has a unified outlook on life and art?

At the end, "That's it." It already contains endless melancholy. In the hottest emotion, Zhang Ailing intercepted the most romantic moment, but did not forget the vagueness, uncertainty and brevity of love. ?
