Love is the whole of life —— Reading Love in Cholera Period

Haruki Murakami said, if I love you and you happen to love me, when your hair is messed up, I will smile and brush it away for you, and then my hand will stay in your hair for a few more seconds; However, if I love you and you don't love me, and your hair is messed up, I will only tell you gently that your hair is messed up.

This is probably the purest love.

Florentino? It is in this pure love whirlpool that Ariza was caught in fifty-three years, seven months and eleven days later, and still clearly gave the sailing date of his love cruise ship named cholera:

"All my life."

Love in cholera is Garcia? Marquez's "The best work is my heartfelt creation". Compared with One Hundred Years of Solitude, which won the Nobel Prize, it is gentler and more realistic.

Florentino from humble origins? Ariza, when she was young, she fell in love with a beautiful and functional girl, Fermina? Dasha, two young people have a crazy love affair, but they are opposed by Fermin's father.

Dover Ming Na? When Dasa came back from a trip arranged by her father, she realized that her love with florentino was illusory. At this time, the handsome and rich Dr. Juvena? Urbino pursued her, Fermin accepted him, and directly rejected florentino with "No need, forget it".

Since then, florentino has fallen into a 53-year love disaster. Florentino never gave up his love and expectation for Fermin and never got married. Half a century later, he finally waited until Fermin's husband died unexpectedly. After 5 1 year, he had a chance to express his mind again, but he was severely reprimanded by Fermin. After two years of painstaking efforts, Fermin finally accepted him. They are sailing on a cruise ship with a yellow cholera flag. Despite the complicated customs, their dying hearts finally stuck together. The captain asked how long it would take to go back and forth, and florentino promised that he had prepared the answer for 53 years and 7 months 1 1 day: "All my life."

It's hard not to move.

The captain saw the first frost flash on Fermin's eyelashes and florentino's invincible determination and fearless love. He had an epiphany that "life, not death, is endless".

Love in cholera period is an encyclopedia of love. Covers the first love, unrequited love, fanatical love, tender love, marriage affection, dew love, abnormal love of young and old Xian Yi. There are many forms of love, loyalty, nobility, secularity, debauchery, platonic, life and death. It shows the psychological changes, throbbing, happiness, pain, despair, hard work and dignity brought by love.

This is the love between two men and a woman, like a protracted tug-of-war, which has been deadlocked for half a century, dragging three young teenagers into old people. Love, on the other hand, was planted and prospered together with the great cholera that also lasted for half a century.

Hu Weina? As Fermin's husband, urbino deeply loves his wife, like a quiet stream, supporting their 5 1 year relationship. When questioned by his wife that he didn't give her happiness, he said, "You should always remember that the most important thing for a loving couple is not happiness, but stability." This is how he practiced, maintaining stability with his wife who had never been tamed by him with the most secular love until he fell from the tree and died unexpectedly. At the last minute, he finally revealed that "only God knows how much I love you".

Fermin, marry Juvena? After urbino, she gained a prominent position and a rich life, with a lady's aura in the upper class. But her unruly nature in her bones never satisfied her, and her personality of pursuing freedom was bound by class. Occasionally she will think of florentino, but she can only sigh "Alas! Poor man! " Continue to be a canary in a cage.

The connecting flight took place in Huvinar? After urbino accidentally fell to his death. Without her husband's scruples, Fermina became herself step by step. Florentino took the opportunity to challenge her, but she was hot and crazy, and the fire of love finally rekindled.

Fermina? Dasa, a 72-year-old widow, announced loudly: "A century ago, people ruined my life and this poor man's life because we were too young;" Now, they want to do the same thing to us because we are too old. "

"To hell with them!"

Florentino? Ariza should have cried with joy, but he didn't. In the long waiting for more than half a century, with the decline of his body, his passion gradually lost. They are already the love between wrinkled grandparents, not even like lovers who hate getting together late. They are like an old couple who have already experienced the tempering of life, and they have surpassed the trap of passion in silence.

"Because they have lived together long enough, they found that love is always love no matter when and where, but the closer they get to death, the stronger love becomes."

Yes, according to florentino, they have lived together for 53 years. He hasn't left Fermin since he gave up being a promising telegraph operator and decided to go back to his hometown to spend his life with her. He watched her become someone else's wife, gave birth to someone else's children, and watched her become more and more noble and inferior. Nevertheless, I never gave up waiting for Fermin. He bought the mirror that once left Fermina's figure and thought about it every day. Even after he became the chairman of the Canal Company, he specially decorated a cabin for his wedding with Fermin.

To outsiders, florentino is eccentric and dissolute. He never married, but he lingered in the bodies of countless women. In this way, he proved that his body function is not aging, and he can be worthy of Fermina in endless waiting.

When he finally got his wish, he broke up with Amelia, a girl 60 years younger than him, without hesitation. Viconia's deformed love, even if the latter committed suicide for it. He shivered and stroked Fermin's "shriveled neck, like a chest with a metal skeleton". He saw "her shoulders are wrinkled, her breasts droop, and her ribs are covered with a layer of skin as pale and cold as frog skin". She is deaf in one ear. She said she "smells like an old woman", but florentino had never been so happy. He is still his cherished treasure and his "wearing a crown".

I was moved by florentino's rock-solid love. When I was a child, I watched Qiong Yao and cried for the hero's earth-shattering love, dreaming of meeting such an out-of-touch love. I gradually realized that it was illusory and did not exist at all.

In real life, there is no perfect person like the hero in Qiong Yao's works. Writer albert camus once said, "Real life appears in tears. Life is tearing itself apart. "

Perhaps florentino's own words are more telling. When he hunted women endlessly, he said, "Above the waist is spiritual love, below the waist is physical love." Indulge the instinct of male animals and pursue the love for the body, but the love for the spirit has been tightly hidden in the heart and dare not blaspheme. Therefore, he said to Fermin, "I kept my virginity for you."

How real this is. No one can live as pure as a newborn baby, and no one can achieve the unity of spirit and desire. However, after years of abuse, the body and mind have been riddled with holes, and the aging body has attracted the attention of death. Facing the love that has been waiting for half a century, it is still brave to give a lifelong commitment. This is love.

Pain is greater than sweetness, torture is greater than happiness, heaviness is greater than joy, and imperfection is greater than perfection. Whose love is less desperate than hope and more real than imagination?

The poet Ye Zhi had a similar situation. Sadly, when he was young, he fell in love with and pursued the woman all his life, and he didn't promise him until he died. Ye Zhi turned this goddess, which he could never reach in his life, into creative inspiration, which is the luck of readers.

The cruise ship is still sailing, with the yellow flag of cholera hanging, and no one has come to disturb this journey of life. On the deck, two white-haired and rickety figures snuggled up to each other, stirring up gentle water waves and pushing the cruise ship forward slowly. At this time, I want to sing Ye Zhi's When You Are Old, and they will love it.

when you are old

When you are old, gray-haired and sleepy,

Take a nap by the fire, please write down this poem.

Read slowly and recall the tenderness of your eyes in the past.

Recall the heavy shadows of their past;

How many people love you when you are young and happy,

Worship your beauty, hypocrisy or sincerity,

Only one person loves your pilgrim soul,

Love the painful wrinkles on your aging face;

I hung my head, by the red fire,

Whispering sadly about the passing of love,

On the mountain overhead, it walked slowly.

A face is hidden among a group of stars.
