"Now my mother is alive and well. Everybody said that, everybody said she was strong, and no one knew how she survived. ”
How does reading such a sentence give us? Such a sentence is very homely, but it has a deep connotation and has an extremely rich connotation. With just this sentence, we can't help but ask: Who is the mother? Where does her strength come from? Why is there such a difficult life? Then we can't help but want to continue to pursue more stories about mothers.
So, who is the author who left us with such a phrase? She is not a writer, but she has the same ability to control words as a writer. Her language is very plain and simple, but it contains deep meaning, or it will not be a simple sentence that will make us have rich associations.
Chantel Ackermann, Belgium's most outstanding post-war female director, was voted "the number one greatest film in film history" for her film. So her job is a film director, and she's a very good film director. And what about her mother? Auschwitz concentration camp survivor, such a label is enough for everyone to respect her, then such a mother and daughter, we must have the desire to know more.
Now Chantel Ackerman uses her own writing to describe the time she spent with her mother after the age of 60, and has formed such a unique collection of literary essays "My Mother Laughs". In this book, what we feel is that the author uses words to describe scenes that look like movie pictures.
The author describes the bits and pieces of his life in a blank manner, which not only satisfies our readers' desire to explore, but also takes us to expand from these bits and pieces of pictures, think more, find a person's growth path, and also understand the history of a nation's grievances, understand the details of this family life, and understand that everyone's survival is not easy.
Let's take a look at one of the scenes that the book gives us, shall we? The book tells the story of the mother's love of bathing, and most of this work is done by nurses. So the author lamented that "she doesn't mind being naked in front of the nurses at all". But there are times when the caregiver is busy and there are times when he doesn't come, and at this time, the responsibility of taking a bath is handed over to the author as a daughter.
The author also left us with the sentence "She doesn't mind being naked in front of me, but I do, he likes me to bathe her, but I don't like that". Clear and straightforward, it also allows us to glimpse the common emotions of all human beings from such a sentence, the identity of mothers and daughters is often not equal, and these behaviors are vividly expressed.
Of course, in this book, the author writes not only about his mother, but also about his sister and other people around him. Therefore, these memories of the author constitute a text for us to understand the richness of their lives. And the author clearly presents the pictures in front of us with a casual writing, naked and bold, without any justification, so that we can really touch a soul and feel her truest thoughts when reading this book. #文学##随笔##我妈笑了#
