A few days ago, I revisited Lu Xun's work "Hometown", and the thoughts and emotions analyzed by the teacher's word-by-word and reading skills when I was a teenager were naturally presented in my heart at this moment.
When I read "Hometown" as a teenager, my mind was full of pictures of catching birds on a snowy day, collecting shellfish on the seaside, and hovering under the moon described by the leap earth. As for the other parts, I always feel depressing to read, so I have been ignoring them.
I didn't understand until I got older, and the pain behind the "master" when Runtu and "Brother Xun" met again.
Numb intercalary earth
When Brother Xun in "Hometown" first saw Runtu, Runtu was still a carefree little boy. Although he is the son of a farmer, he wears a silver collar around his neck, which shows that his family cherishes him.
He can hunt birds, know the names of all kinds of shells on the seashore, and tell many things that Brother Xun has never seen. These all make Brother Xun, the little young master who grew up in the courtyard of the deep house, yearn for it very much.
Runtu can help his father guard the melon field and drive away the small animals that steal melons, but he doesn't mind the occasional passerby picking a melon or two to quench his thirst. These show the bravery and kindness of the leap earth.
At this time, Runtu faced the young master of the landlord's family, and he didn't know the difference in the identities of the two. There is a pure friendship between them without class. So much so that when Runtu had to leave, the two of them cried and couldn't be separated.
Later, the meeting between the two spanned nearly thirty years, during which many things went through and changed the minds of both people.
When Runtu grows up, he no longer has the protection of his family, and he begins to have to take responsibility.
He gave birth to many children, and he could not wear silver collars to his children as his father did when he was a child. He saw a lot of hardships in life after separating from Brother Xun, and he must have seen many lords like Brother Xun despise farmers.
No matter how hard and hard you work when you grow up, it will be difficult to change the status quo. Those childhood joys have long been numbed under the weight of life.
When he saw Brother Xun again, Runtu was happy, and he must have remembered all kinds of things he looked like when he was a child. But soon he understood that the Xun Brother in front of him was not the Xun Brother many years ago, he was the master, and there was originally a barrier between them.
Later, when Brother Xun was about to leave with his family, he found more than a dozen bowls hidden in the ashes of the plants and trees that were about to leave. It is not difficult to imagine the cause and effect before and after the connection, this must be something that Runtu wants to take away secretly.
At that moment, he became more and more distant from the lively and clever young man in Brother Xun'er's impression.
At the end of the article, when Brother Xun moved to another country with his family, Brother Xun's nephew Hong'er was still thinking about returning to his hometown. When I asked him why, it turned out that he had made an appointment with Shui Sheng, the son of the Runtu family, and he was going to Shui Sheng's house.
At this moment, time seems to be a cycle. Hong'er and Shui Sheng are the Xun Ge'er and the Leap Earth more than 30 years ago, and will inevitably become the Xun Brother and the Leap Earth more than 30 years later.
The second sister-in-law of Yang like "Compass".
In addition to the leap earth, there is another character in the story that is also very memorable. This is the second sister-in-law of Yang on the other side.
In Brother Xun's memory, Second Sister-in-law Yang is a beautiful and decent woman. When she was young, she used to rub white powder on her face and sit there selling tofu in a regular manner. It can be seen that although she is not rich, she loves life and has morality and cultivation.
But by the time we met again more than thirty years later, she had completely changed.
She became so thin that her cheekbones protruded so much that Brother Xun couldn't recognize her at all. Her posture has also changed, and she stands up like a compass, which seems to be very out of line with the etiquette standards of women of the time.
As for the character, she has also become mean and sleek. Seeing Brother Xun, she first mentioned that she had hugged Brother Xun in the past, and wanted to shorten the distance between the two.
After that, there was a large number of compliments, praising Brother Xun'er for his rich life.
As soon as the conversation changed, Yang's second sister-in-law revealed her true purpose.
She said this, but it was just for the sake of taking Brother Xun'er's things for nothing. In the end, seeing that he couldn't achieve his goal, he took away a pair of gloves from Brother Xun'er's mother.
The second sister-in-law Yang appeared again when she found out that the leap soil was stealing the porcelain bowl, which was discovered by the second sister-in-law Yang. She thought that she had merit, and took away the trough that Brother Xun'er's family fed the chickens, and left quickly, for fear that the main family would ask her to go back.
Two times before and after, one was counted as stealing, and the latter was taking other people's things without permission, and there was no conscience condemnation from Yang's second sister-in-law. On the contrary, it is urgent, as if I am afraid that I will have less.
It can be seen that the second sister-in-law Yang at this time is not a decent person more than 30 years ago. Under some pressure, Yang Er's sister-in-law's past temperament was all abandoned by her.
Behind a "master".
At the end of "Hometown", Lu Xun wrote "January 1921". Combined with this timeline, all the suffering makes sense.
Thirty years from 1912 to the point in time, it was a period of suffering on the land of China. Foreign invasions, exploitation by landlords, warlords, and bandits, the people are like mustard.
Runtu and Yang Er's sister-in-law are the most ordinary peasants at the bottom of society, and they have no ability to resist in that kind of world. As a landlord, Brother Xun'er is in a better situation than them, but he also has to sell his ancestral house to make a living.
These tragic conditions are related to the social environment of the time, as well as to the deep-rooted class oppression in China for thousands of years. Although the society at that time experienced the Xinhai Revolution, the political power was controlled by the warlords in an instant, the essence of society did not change, and the people's lives were still hard.
Cang Liao knows etiquette from the truth. Real life is the best tool for transforming a person. Whether it is Runtu or Yang's second sister-in-law, they have become numb under the weight of life.
For them at that time, courtesy, righteousness and shame were the most insignificant things.
The "master" of the leap earth is a barrier, a gulf that can never be crossed between the two classes.
At the end of the story, Brother Xun mentioned the agreement between Shui Sheng and Hong'er, which is simply a copy of him and Runtu back then. Brother Xun is worried about this friendship, and he doesn't want Shui Sheng and Hong'er to go to their level in the future.
At the end of the story, the author's expectations are expressed through the mouth of Brother Xun. I hope that the Chinese nation will not suffer like them again in the future, and the same sorrow will not be staged again.
Thankfully, the wishes in the article have now been granted. The new society will no longer have "masters" and leap earth, and the beautiful society that the story ends with has become a reality.
