Looking at Lin from Old Things in the South of the City

"Old Things in the South of the City" is a collection of short stories written by Lin with his life at the age of 7 to 13 as the background. This novel describes a warm and harmonious Eiko family living in a quadrangle in the south of Beijing in the 1920s. Through Eiko's eyes, he described all kinds of people and things in Beijing at that time. These seemingly trivial descriptions reflect the whole historical features of Beijing at that time and have strong social significance.

Although it was a hundred years ago, readers can produce some childhood songs even if they read it now. This is the charm of this work!

The Old Story tells five stories: The Legend of Hui 'an Pavilion, We Go to the Beach, Aunt Lan, Snowball, Dad's Flowers Fall, and I'm No Longer a Child. Through Eiko's childish eyes, it shows readers the joys and sorrows of the adult world, the historical features of old Beijing and the secular life of ordinary people.

Xiuzhen and Niu in The Legend of Hui 'an Pavilion, thieves in Go to the Sea, and rolling donkeys are tragic and compassionate, which embodies the author's feelings of compassion.

Aunt Lan in Aunt Lan is bitter before sweet, which reflects the author's thinking about the fate of women.

"My father's flowers have fallen, and I am no longer a child." Father loves to grow flowers, indicating his death. As the eldest of seven children in the family, Eiko should be a strong big child. That year, she was only 13 years old and just got the primary school diploma.

From the appendix "From the South of the City" at the back of the book, Lin's daughter recalled her mother and deeply realized that the writer Lin was a diligent horse, and she got there first, which made He Fan "step up in the twilight" and it was useless to chase.

It can be seen that Lin's "diligence" is different. She seldom does what others do and can't wait for others to do it. It also shows that she is healthy, able to cope and has a strong sense of responsibility.

Lin's "diligence" is also manifested in housework. Although there are helpers at home, she still has to cook and cook good meals for her family. Sometimes she eats the bottom of the plate. "Really let her crying dog shake its head!"

This is impressive. This great writer has a lot of work to do, a newspaper to take care of, and such a good cooking. It's amazing!

After reading this article, I like Lin even more

Lin has a wide range of interests, reading books, traveling, watching movies and TV, doing handicrafts and playing small cards ... Hehe, hehe, I have many similarities with writer Linda! I feel that I am also extraordinary!

Lin studied photography and changed the lens. A friend said, "Hai Yin, don't bother!" She said, "It's fun!" Thinking of making a flowerpot with a bucket of laundry detergent, Miss Sister said, "How troublesome! Buy without a flowerpot! " That's different. As Lin felt:
