Our Seventh Uncle Mo Yan’s thoughts after reading

Uncle Qi is still a character in Mo Yan's works, a "little person".

Such a small character made me feel sad after reading it. Although I have not experienced too many hardships, my parents’ introduction when I was young gave me a vague understanding of Uncle Qi’s era.

What kind of person is Uncle Qi? Life is difficult, but he has a spirit like Ah Q. He grew up alone, and during the Cultural Revolution, because he conformed to the so-called times, he participated in the denunciation of his uncle and aunt who had raised him personally, and ended up being infamous for being unfilial. Who can blame this ending? He should never be blamed because he too was a victim of this movement. If it weren't for this sport, he could have integrated into the life of his uncle's family and gained family affection. This reminds me of an experience my mother once told me. At that time, my grandmother's family was designated as landlords, and people in the village criticized the whole family. As a result, my married mother also suffered injustice. My grandfather came to our village to work as a labor camp to build roads. My grandparents did not dare to recognize him when they saw him. Later, my mother said that they were "too solid" and did not even recognize him. When I think about Uncle Qi's actions, it's not surprising at all. An era will lead the thinking of a generation, but no matter what, ordinary people follow the party and the government in everything. Can they blame themselves?

The tragic death of Uncle Qi made me extremely angry. Just because he had drunk a little wine and was driving a donkey cart on the road. When he encountered a car, he did not give way to the car. The cruel driver drove him over in cold blood. Both he and the loyal donkey died. . Although the book does not name the driver who caused the accident, it is known through the two "gift seals" given by Secretary Ma of the commune that he must be the instigator of the disaster. Why is he so bold, treating life as a child's play, and depriving ordinary people of their lives at will? A bright headlight, a tall man, a donkey, such a vivid and tall life, why can't you see it? Do you think that just a few bundles of hairtail and a few thousand dollars can end it all and cover up your crimes? How wrong. You are not worthy of being a parent and official of the people. At the very least, you cannot be considered a moral person!

An incident when I was young was somewhat similar to what happened to Uncle Qi, but it had a different ending. Our children love to play at the entrance of the alley, which is a main road that leads from our village to all directions. A few of us ran to the main road while having fun. Once, I saw a big truck driving over when I was far away. Being a show-off, I boasted to my friends and said, "Believe it or not, I can stop it just by standing here." They said. I didn't even believe it, but I was already standing in the middle of the road. The big car was driving towards us. When it was about to approach me, I was still thinking that if it didn't stop, I would run away. But what I didn't expect was that the big car stopped not far from me. I shouted happily to my friends: "How about it? I won, I can even stop the big car. Do you have any?" Is this what it takes? "I once again won everyone's admiration, and I was very proud, but now it's a bit ridiculous. It's not that I can stop the big truck, but the big truck drivers respect life, and they forgive and accommodate me, a naughty and naughty child. So I'd rather wait for me to get out of the way.

There is nothing that touches people more than respecting and reverence for life, so I still miss that big car and that driver for a long time. If our society has more of that kind of touching, I want to show it in our society. There will be no separation in life (my parents died in a car accident in 1996). Although there will be more curses and quarrels, the sunshine of happiness will not decrease.
