I attended the Songhua River Pen Club and met many writers, such as Fanny, Emma Wu, Hu Dongnian and Eugene. We laughed and scolded together, which was very enjoyable. However, Hu Dongnian's wallet was stolen after the bonfire party, which cast a shadow over the whole party. Many years later, I met Eugene and learned that I was the most suspected object. I feel extremely angry and confused. Then Eugene told a story after his party with Fanny. I learned at the pen meeting that Fanny was pregnant and had a miscarriage soon. Fanny actually has the stolen wallet. Eugene thinks Fanny stole the wallet, but I don't think so, because an encounter with Emma Wu exposed what he did.
The last paragraph of this article is very interesting. There are two narrators in this article, Eugene and me. The last paragraph of the article is questioning the authenticity of the two narrators, that is, judging who is the thief. It seems a little subtle, which reminds me of what Ayatsuji Yukito just finished reading? Multiple narratives of the story of Zhongnanhai underground palace in Ten Corners Hall's Murder Preview and Tomb Robbery Notes.
Here, of course, the original conclusion becomes confusing, and the question of who is the thief is investigated. The author chose to reread it to find clues. More interestingly, however, by rereading the author, it is found that the conclusions described by the two narrators actually point to the same fact-it was not Eugene or Fanny who stole it, but Emma Wu, the poetry editor of Songhua River Monthly, a northeast man and hero.
Emma Wu is a hidden figure. In rereading, the author carefully marked out various descriptions about him and dug up everything about this person.
At the beginning of his appearance, he had a drinking contest with a boastful northeast man, Master Han. It is mentioned twice in the article that he casually but accurately threw the bottle into the garbage basket far away, suggesting that he is very good at it. "I also think he is a real hero, and his every move is heroic." The author here gave me a big trap.
The following story seems to be about Eugene, but it quietly explains the unusual relationship between Emma Wu and Fanny. When I first read it, I almost ignored the details of this part.
It is mentioned in the article that Hu Dongnian regards all female writers and poets as "ex-wives", but he dare not be presumptuous with Fanny. Who is he afraid of?
Emma Wu said Fanny was his cousin, while Hu Dongnian said, "Cousin is synonymous with lover now". Who Hu Dongnian is afraid of is already faintly visible.
When climbing the Phoenix Ridge, Fanny asked if it would hurt if the branches as smooth as wax were caught by people going up and down the mountain. Emma Wu's answer is "No, I do". The branch here obviously refers to Fannie Mae itself, and Emma Wu's answer is that he is expressing his heartache for Fannie Mae. Fannie's sudden tears may be moved or sad and helpless. Later we learned that Fanny had a miscarriage. Based on the conversation here, we can feel that Fanny is feeling sorry for her children, but obviously, Emma Wu has no intention to be responsible for Fanny.
In Eugene's argument, Fanny said that the child was someone Eugene knew, and Eugene was from Beijing. All the writers who participated in the Songhua River Pen Club gave their own cities, except Emma Wu, who was obviously a local. Apparently, the only person Eugene knew and got Fanny pregnant was Emma Wu. More solid hammer above speculation.
In The Cabin, the author focuses on the story of Emma Wu catching flies. Emma Wu said that flies must have been fooled by fake actions. Practice makes perfect. Add the bottle thrower here, and when you first read it, you will feel that the author is describing an extraordinary anti-theft poet, and when you reread it, you will feel that you are also describing a thief with a good foundation.
At the bonfire party, I chatted with a female reporter. She obviously had a crush on Emma Wu, saying that Fanny and Emma Wu were very comfortable together, which once again proved their relationship.
Here, the female reporter tells the story with Emma Wu, and also leads to the title of "The Thief Fingers Flowers", which was originally a poem given to the female reporter by Emma Wu. We don't know whether Emma Wu took the finger of the thief who hurt the female reporter, but in this story, we obviously feel that Emma Wu sympathizes with the thief. He thinks that the existence of thieves is also positive.
Hu Dongnian lost his wallet after the bonfire party. In Eugene's exposition, the wallet finally appeared in Fanny's hands.
Finally, the author tells the story of a theft in the guest house next to the literature training class in the early winter of 1989. The author passed the thief and remembered the gray windbreaker he was wearing. Then the author met Emma Wu and saw the same windbreaker as the thief on the back of the chair.
At this point, I think a reasonable guess is that Emma Wu stole Hu Dongnian's wallet and Fanny stole Emma Wu's wallet.
At this time, we will inevitably have some doubts. Why did Emma Wu steal? Why Fanny and Emma Wu are not together. Why did Fanny steal the wallet that Emma Wu stole?
The story behind this may have the absolute possibility of Qian Qian. The author tried hard to find information, but he couldn't form it. But what I want to interpret most here is the title "A thief points to a flower". Besides liking this symbolic word, I think the story of the quilt may be hidden here.
Why do thieves mean flowers? Flowers are usually symbols of beauty and positive power. Here, the author boldly guesses whether Emma Wu is a man who robs the rich and helps the poor. After all, his description is cheerful and just, and he looks like an upright person from beginning to end. Thieves point to flowers. Could it be that Emma Wu opened the flowers as a thief? Is he a policeman who sympathizes with thieves or a poem editor of thieves?
Fanny is a very beautiful woman in the article. Beauty and flowers are always inseparable. So by flowers, the thief means Fanny herself? Is she a flower defiled by a thief's finger or a flower nourished by a thief's finger? Is she a victim or a participant?
Fanny and Emma Wu became a mystery after all. What does the thief mean by flowers? What is irreplaceable beauty?
Although the author's basic view is that Eugene and my explanations are true, I was very confused when I was studying in a literature training class in the early winter of 1989. According to the article, I should live in Beijing and Emma Wu should be in Heilongjiang, but this training course doesn't specify the location. It's hard to judge why Emma Wu and my colleagues showed up. But based on the above clues, the author still recognizes his original judgment.
