After reading Autumn Garden in April, I feel milk.

The past is like smoke, but the past is not like smoke. It seems to be right in front of you. When the heart is full, it will overflow from the mouth. It's not easy to stay in your mouth. Distant memories will rush to the pen and be told. The author Yang Benfen (corresponding to China) realized in the grief of the death of his mother Liang (corresponding to China) that if the sufferings of his mother and himself were not recorded, the traces of their lives would soon be erased and these sufferings would become meaningless. In his sixties, Yang Benfen began to write in the kitchen in the triviality of life, and published Autumn Garden from 1980 to 1989.

This is a story that records the life and death of rural areas in the hinterland of central and southern China. Yuan Qiu's mother wrapped her little feet and let them go. Her father died young and married a husband who was too kind to care about his family's livelihood. Her little daughter died and her neighbors bullied her. She often had her last meal, but her mature husband died. She ran away with her two sons, and the fourth son drowned. After remarriage, her husband died before her because of old age and fracture. Her family is good, and life has never been kind to her. Yuan Qiu wrote before his death:

1932, from Luoyang to Nanjing.

1937, from Hankou to Xiangyin.

1960, from Hunan to Hubei.

1980, he returned to Hunan from Hubei.

I have tasted the ups and downs of my life and ended up like this.

However, these things are embedded in her mind, vividly, she wants to eat, to farm, to be a worker, and to do her best to share her worries for her family. Life is hard, but the desire to learn is so strong. Father knelt down because he couldn't send her to school, and mother gnashed her teeth and asked her to go to school. ...

Some people say that this is another version of "alive" and "sea of life", and I feel a little subconsciously rejected. It's strange that Autumn Garden is so easy to read. I rubbed this little book and read it in one breath. The fate of the characters constitutes the skeleton of the story, and the really rough stories are all flesh and blood.

Dong Qing had an opening remark in the female special performance of Reader: "When it comes to female beauty, what do you think of? Audrey Hepburn's pretty and charming short hair, or Jane Goodall's charming chimpanzee hand … or Li Qingzhao's brilliant talent. Bing Xin once said,' If there were no women in this world, at least five tenths of truth, six tenths of goodness and seven tenths of beauty would be lost.' Throughout the ages, how much makeup is light, how much courage, how much rigidity and softness, how much absolute beauty. How beautiful are women? How beautiful the world is, how beautiful women are. Autumn Garden is about the endless tenacity and beauty of two generations of women. "Postscript of Zhihua Female Generation:" People are more flexible than imagined and will never be completely destroyed ".

From the inside and outside of the book Autumn Garden, I feel encouraged and inspired: First, no matter how difficult it is, women should pay attention to reading and learning; Secondly, literature and writing are not limited by age, time and place, and with long-term accumulated life experience, they can express their strongest feelings in the simplest language, impress people and explain problems.
