Xu Sanguan sold blood for a lifetime

"Xu Sanguan Selling Blood" revolves around the protagonist Xu Sanguan's experience of selling blood, and slowly unfolds to us various trivial things in the lives of small people in that era, which are either mixed with ignorance or mixed with tenderness.

Throughout Xu Sanguan's life, he sold blood a total of 12 times, and each time he sold blood was a turning point in his life.

The first time he sold blood, Xu Sanguan went with Ah Fang and Gen Long, the purpose of which was to marry Xu Yulan, and we can appreciate the ignorance of the people of that era from the process of selling blood this time.

The second time he sold blood, Xu Sanguan chose to sell blood in order to compensate the son of the blacksmith who was broken by Yile, and from this blood sale, we can see Xu Sanguan's heavy feelings and righteousness, as well as the poverty of society at that time and the numbness in the hearts of the people.

The third time he sold blood, it was out of revenge for Xu Yulan, Xu Sanguan slept with Lin Fengfang when he visited Lin Fengfang, who broke her leg, and afterwards he felt indebted, so he decided to sell blood to buy supplements for Lin Fengfang.

The fourth time to sell blood was after the people's commune, three years of natural disasters caused this not-so-rich family to drink 57 consecutive thin porridge, Xu Sanguan in order to let the family eat a steaming noodle and choose to sell blood. It was also this time that he untied the knots that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time.

The fifth time he sold blood, it was to make Ichiraku have a better life in the countryside, and to send something to the captain during the New Year's Festival, so that he could return to the city early.

Wait, wait, wait...

Seeing the last time, I thought that Xu Sanguan would die because of frequent blood sales, but I did not expect to harvest a happy ending. I like a sentence in the book, "Things are forced out, people only have a way to be forced to go to the end of the road, before the end of the road, either did not think of a way, or thought of it and do not know whether to do it." Perhaps, living in an era of peace and prosperity and economic take-off, it is difficult for us to personally experience the tragedy and struggle that Xu Sanguan felt because of the compulsion of life.

"In the various misfortunes of the times and individuals, I have seen all kinds of happiness in life. Sour, sweet, bitter and spicy is the taste of food, and joy and sorrow are the taste of life. ”
