There is no feeling that there is no hole in this world —— Reading notes on Zhang Ailing's novel Compassion

? The theme expressed in Zhang Ailing's short story Compassion can be summarized by this sentence in the last paragraph of the article:

? This feeling of holes is first manifested in the husband and wife. Dunfeng and Mr. Mi are husband and wife halfway, and Dunfeng is only Mr. Mi's concubine. They went to marriage with their own purposes, Dunfeng for material pursuit and stability, and Mr. Mi for enjoying a little happiness in his later years.

Deng Feng has a lot of dissatisfaction and helplessness about this marriage. Dunfeng is only 36 years old and still as beautiful as flowers and jade. Mr. Mi is 60 years old and on the verge of death. The appearance of Mr. Mi also embarrassed Dunfeng. His half-bald head was connected with his fat neck, like a pile of steamed bread made of flour rationed on the 3rd. And such Mr. Fan still cares about his separated wife, and once regarded his lively and frivolous cousin Mrs. Yang as a clown. Dunfeng hates Mr. rice. "Deng Feng just looked at him coldly and hated him because he was obsessed with his wife because he was not beautiful enough to ride a tricycle with her." Dunfeng doesn't like Mr. rice. "To tell you the truth, no matter what she does, she doesn't like you, old man! Is he really interested in you? "

Although Deng Feng is dissatisfied, resentful and helpless, she still feels happy and safe about this marriage. "I am very happy now, but not too much, because I have been experiencing it. I feel like a child again, and I am very happy under adults. The world is changing. My aunt sells things for a living, and my wife will still flirt and play cards there, but it will be miserable. Only Dunfeng, after experiencing the adventure of marriage, has returned to the hands of reliable people as if she had never left. "

In order to safeguard her own interests and maintain her material life, she also took care of Mr. Mi's feelings. "She went out with a wallet and a loan, and he followed her. She just ignored it and hurried across the street, fearing that he would catch up breathlessly. Although she was angry with him, she didn't want to show that he was old, so she deliberately picked a car to cross the road and delayed for a while. "

"Yes, for my own sake, I must be careful of him. I have always wanted to feed him well and live for two more years. "

Deng Feng and her ex-husband don't get along and quarrel constantly every day. When Deng Feng was 23 years old, her ex-husband died of sexually transmitted diseases.

Mr. rice's wife has always been neurotic, and later she became more irritable. All her children quarreled with her one after another. Over the years, he seldom stayed with her. Even in the good old days, life was hasty and chaotic. She only remembers quarrels again and again, and there are no good memories worth remembering.

Mrs. Yang plays cards and flirts every day, and is pursued by many men. Mr. Mi was one of them. Mr. Yang doesn't go home much either.

Every couple, every marriage, has many problems of one kind or another, and people in marriage also have many dissatisfaction and complaints of one kind or another.

Abundant feelings are also reflected in family ties. "She has many relatives, and now she seldom associates with her except her uncle's house. My parents' brother, that's my aunt's Dunfeng. Show off in front of them lest they borrow money. What's wrong with it? Don't complain to them lest they laugh. At the beginning, several relatives who made a lot of contributions to her matchmaking always took credit in front of him, especially his wife, Mrs. Yang, who was crazy and stupid, which made her unbearable. Mrs. Yang's mother-in-law is Dunfeng's aunt. Of these people, only this aunt and cousin can talk. Deng Feng is also boring, and there is nothing to do, otherwise he would not have been raised in Yang's parents. "Although they hardly associate with each other, they don't like each other. Dunfeng hates Mrs. Yang, because Mrs. Yang always thinks that she gave Mr. Mi to Dunfeng, and Dunfeng has such a decent and rich wife life because of her contribution. However, Mr. Mi used to like dealing with ladies and courting Mrs. Yang because he couldn't get any comfort at home. All this has greatly hurt Deng Feng's self-esteem, so for Mrs. Yang, when it comes to her back, Deng Feng is still itchy and often turns over to recall this shapeless love triangle. " She is a victory, though nothing, but it is a victory after all. "The wind is jealous and despises Mrs. Yang, and she thinks Mrs. Yang's nifty and bold is obscene. In the past, Deng Feng envied Mrs. Yang's peach blossoms, but after she got married, she looked at Mrs. Yang's extramarital affairs with a stern eye.

Mrs. Yang also looked down on Dunfeng from the bottom of her heart. Aunt Yang's face was half buried in her coat, showing only a pair of squinting eyes. She looked at it coldly and thought to herself, "Being an aunt is being an aunt! All you have to do is call Mr. Mi the old man! ""Mrs. Yang smiled and stared at Dunfeng, listening to her repeating the words "madam, madam", thinking it was menstruation!

Deng Feng gloated over menstruation's depression and cared about her hypocritically. In the past, when she was poor, she always brought some snacks to pretend to be generous. Now that she is rich, she begins to show off her style and show her kindness to her poor relatives. My aunt, Mrs. Lao Yang, sometimes blames Deng Feng for hurting others and not being sensible. "People with the status of joint-stock companies come here to learn new things, learn old things, be polite and considerate. I really got Dunfeng married! Dunfeng, this child is not young and has no heart at all. It hurts his heart to talk! Thanks to him! It's different now, it was taken by a man! If it was before, what line was it? But it is not that Deng Feng has never suffered from men before, and she is so blessed! "

Yes, born in this world, there is no feeling, not full of holes, from the past to the present. Zhang Ailing saw through the unbearable humanity with sharp eyes and described the truth of emotion with calm words.
