“For someone like me who loves reading, I have always felt that modern Chinese writers are far behind their predecessors.
Even nearly 100 years ago, in that dark era, there were many excellent writers who wrote many articles and novels that will last forever.
But what now? Apart from idle moaning and writing meaningless entertainment novels, there are few classic works that can truly touch people's hearts.
This prejudice of mine was not broken until 3 years ago.
At that time, under my friend's crazy advice, I read an essay called "A Bowl of Yangchun Noodles".
It has only more than 4,000 words and was written by an unknown writer. As soon as I saw the name Chu Liuxiang, I felt it smelled like rouge and I didn't like it very much.
But as soon as I watched "A Bowl of Yangchun Noodles", I couldn't stop crying. Its story is simple and clear, and with just a touch of writing, it outlines a picture of sincerity and kindness in the world.
It’s hard for me to imagine that such an essay was actually written by an unknown writer! Shouldn't it be written by a wise middle-aged man who has written many novels and articles
I entrusted many friends to ask who this Chu Liuxiang was, but they all said that they did not know and had never heard of it.
I originally thought that this was someone who made the game, and I also thought that Chu Liuxiang's name might appear just this time, because it is unlikely that such an amazing article would come out again.
Turns out, I was wrong again.
When I got the book "Love Letters", the faint familiarity in the writing made me addicted to it again. I read it all in one breath overnight, and then sat alone for a long time with a warm heart.
Although the concept of "Love Letter" is not as high as "A Bowl of Yangchun Noodles", this kind of pure love is really heart-warming.
In this society where you can get on the boat after only three days of knowing each other, in this society that is becoming more and more impetuous and utilitarian, why don't we like such a love
Therefore, in my opinion, it is a matter of course that the book and movie version of "Love Letter" can win so many awards, be loved by so many people, and receive such high box office.
Next, came the classic among classics that made me most heartbroken and cry the most, but I couldn't help but pursue the beautiful classics with sunshine in my heart - "The Gift of Room No. 7".
In order to see "The Gift from Room No. 7", the first thing I did when I got up every morning was to check whether the "Qiantang Evening News" my friend sent me the day before had been delivered. When it's windy or rainy, I feel nervous, fearing that the courier guy will be delayed and I won't be able to see it today.
My sister told me that anyone who likes to watch "The Gift of Room No. 7" is an idiot, a fool, and a hopeless literary youth.
I think what she said makes sense, because Teacher Chu Liuxiang relied on such a heartbreaking story to wantonly manipulate our emotions.
He made us happy for the warmth of Room 7, and we were happy.
He makes us rejoice because of Xiao Yiyuan's cute and sensible nature, and we rejoice.
He makes us sad and fearful of Jackie Chan's irreversible fate, and we are sad and fearful.
He made us despair because of the final separation between Xiao Yiyuan and Li Chenglong, and we were so desperate that we no longer believed in this world.
However, in the end, when Xiao Yiyuan found justice for her father and let the sunshine and justice shine on her body again, we suddenly felt that all the suffering will eventually go away, and hope will always be there!
So when the movie came out, I watched it 12 times in one go. I'm not going to lie to you, I go to the cinema every day to watch it, and I laugh and cry every day.
At that time, I hated Teacher Chu Liuxiang very much. Because obviously he can give us a better ending, for example, the two father and daughter happily escape from the prison together, instead of being separated as humans and ghosts.
But looking back now, in order to satirize and overthrow the decadent class, and to tell the beauty of people in the most desperate situation, such an ending has to exist.
Not to mention the third part of "The Story of Xiaoba".
This time it’s a story about a professor’s family and a stray puppy, Xiaoba.
I originally thought that with such a warm and sweet picture, Teacher Chu Liuxiang would not write any more tragedies, right? Let Xiaoba spend his life happily, what a healing story that would be!
However, I far underestimated the sharpness and cruelty of Teacher Chu Liuxiang.
This time he did not write Xiao Ba to death, but he wrote the professor to death. He also made Xiao Ba become an animal version of the "Wangfu Stone". He repeatedly went to the subway station every day to wait for the professor to come home.
Whenever I read such words, whenever I think about such situations, my tears can't help but fall down again and again.
Even dogs can be so affectionate, why are you so cruel, Mr. Chu
He was so cruel that he didn't give Xiaoba any hope. He couldn't wait for his master until he got old and left this world.
The continuous tragedies made me feel like I was trapped in an atmosphere of unspeakable pain, with no way to turn around.
Therefore, I am looking forward to Teacher Chu Liuxiang’s new work this year, but I am also a little afraid of seeing his new work.
Because I don’t know if the new work will make me cry and laugh again, and I can’t control my emotions at all.
Amidst this uneasy waiting, I came across this year’s work of teacher Chu Liuxiang - "When Happiness Knocks on the Door".
Looking at this title, it seems very warm on the surface, but in fact, after reading "Love Letter" and "Gift from Room No. 7", I felt a little nervous when looking at this warm title.
At the beginning, when the protagonist Tang Li looked at his newborn son Tang Xiaotian and the mess in his house, I actually felt relieved that 'it's really the beginning of hell'.
At present, the novel has only been serialized for about 20 days. As expected, "The Pursuit of Happiness" is the plot of Tang Li and Tang Xiaotian struggling in this world.
Compared with the previous two, this story is more down-to-earth and more realistic.
If we go out in the morning, we will find many uncles and aunties waiting for the public toilets to open so they can go to the toilet, because this way they don’t waste the water used to flush the toilet at home.
But Tang Li and Tang Xiaotian are different. They have no home at all. They wandered in every temporary shelter, and they were extremely satisfied with being able to use free water to wash their faces, rinse their mouths, and even take a shower.
In this way, they all have to race against time to get all this done as soon as possible, so as not to be criticized by others for taking advantage of others, and to avoid being scolded for being naughty while taking a shower.
I have imagined how poor the poor can be. Tang Li and Tang Xiaotian are definitely not the poorest, but among the people we can meet in our lives, they should be the poorest class.
Looking at this beginning, I couldn't help but wonder, what are the two father and son going to do to get the conditions for happiness knocking on the door
In other words, there will be another very sad plot. Either Tang Li had an accident or Tang Xiaotian had an accident
Then can those who survive wait until happiness knocks on the door
If that were the case, it would be too cruel.
They are already so pitiful and struggling so hard not to admit defeat. Teacher Chu Liuxiang, can you give them a good result
After all, you can’t have the title of your novel be so unworthy of the name every time!
Please consider my proposal seriously, and I hope that one day we can have a conversation by candlelight. You can contact me at any time. I look forward to our meeting!
