Original and appreciation of Lu Xun's kites
Original:
In winter in Beijing, there is still snow on the ground, gray-black bald branches are forked in the clear sky, and there are one or two kites floating in the distance, which is a surprise and sorrow to me.
The kite season in my hometown is spring and February. If you hear the rustling wind wheel, you can see a crab kite in light ink or a centipede kite in tender blue.
There is also a lonely tile kite, which has no wind wheel and is placed very low, showing a lonely and pitiful appearance. But at this time, the willows on the ground have sprouted, and the early mountain peaches also spit buds, which is in harmony with the children's decorations in the sky and becomes a gentle spring day. Where am I now? All sides are still cold in winter, but the long-lost spring of my hometown is rippling in this sky.
But I have never liked flying kites. Not only do I not love it, but I also hate it, because I think it is something that worthless children do.
On the contrary, my little brother, who was about ten years old at that time, was very ill and thin. However, he liked kites the most, and I couldn't afford to buy them myself, so he had to open his mouth and stare blankly in the air, sometimes for half a day. The crab kite in the distance suddenly fell, and he exclaimed; The entanglement of two tile kites was untied, and he jumped with joy. All these things of his are laughingstock and contemptible to me.
Appreciation:
This is a memorable essay. Taking kites as the lead, the article deeply reflects on the words and deeds of "I" who treated my younger brother rudely. At the same time, it expresses deep sorrow for people like my younger brother's ignorance. This is undoubtedly an indictment of the crime of feudal clan system destroying children.
The prominent feature of the article is the close combination of narrative and lyric. Although the full text is mainly narrative, it is deeply integrated.
For example, at the beginning of the article, "I" saw one or two kites floating in the winter sky in Beijing, which caused a kind of surprise and sadness. Why did the author insert a memory of the kite season in my hometown? This passage not only described the scene of early spring in my hometown, but also condensed "I"' s praise for my hometown in the description of this scene and object.
On this basis, the author further expresses this feeling directly: "I'm there now, and it's still cold in winter on all sides, but the long-lost spring is rippling in this sky." This fully expresses my deep nostalgia for my hometown. But it's worth noting that I'm not just here to express my deep affection for my hometown.
