I finished reading "Old Things in the South of the City" intermittently, and the scenes were intermittent.

Faint words, quietly revealed, not deliberately carved, slowly flowing into an unfinished poem. I saw old Beijing in the 1920s, the alley in old Beijing, and the big eyes full of innocence in the alley, which were enough to hold all the curiosity and questions in the world. Eiko, a kind and sincere little girl, bid farewell to her childhood when her father's flowers fell, but childhood is like a mystery, which has remained in her simple world with the passing of some people and things.

Eiko's world is pure and beautiful. She never locks her mind. People of different forms and confused things freely shuttle through her childhood.

Eiko's eyes are transparent, transparent without a trace of impurities. She looks at the crazy Xiuzhen in Huian Pavilion, unlike people who wear colored glasses. Only she understands the truth of the madman, and understands that there really is a "small cassia seed" born in the fragrance of osmanthus. She gave her watch to Xiaoguizi, because Xiaoguizi can see the time to come home with it. This simplest and simplest way expresses Eiko's seemingly illogical wish, but it is so reasonable.

Because of this naivety, Eiko is doomed to have an indissoluble fate with Xiuzhen's mother and daughter. The little laurel found by Eiko is actually her good friend girl. Since God has a heart of pity, why did he urge the relatives who care about each other day and night to recognize each other, and finally let the rain destroy the dream of reunion? By the time Eiko woke up from her nightmare, she had moved. The sound of the train must be heavy, too heavy to move out of the memory of this seven-or eight-year-old child.

No matter how transparent the mind is, it is impossible to see the right and wrong in this complicated world.

"I can't tell the sea from the sky. I can't tell the good guys from the bad guys."

Yes, in Eiko's eyes, there are too many people, and it is difficult to tell the good guys from the bad guys. What is a thief like? What's the thief like? Maybe the bad guys should look different from the good guys! Can the thick-lipped young man I met in the wild grass be counted as a good man? Otherwise, why did you book a "let's go to see the sea" date! And the smiling man in a straw hat is so kind after asking for the bronze Buddha, which is naturally a "good man" in Eiko's view. When this disguised "plainclothes son" solved the case, in the end, the young man who didn't look like a thief became a thief, and he could only become a bad guy under the finger of everyone. Eiko, good people and bad people, good and evil, right and wrong, what do you see? How did the thief come to his unfinished business?

Too many puzzles Eiko couldn't find the answer in her childhood: Why did Song Ma come home as a wet nurse? Why did the money earned go to others? How did the little embolus die? How could the little girl give it to others? Finally, Song Ma rode home on a donkey, and she wanted to live their lives with her yellow teeth. Yes, life goes on.

Childhood can't go on! The oleander has fallen, and Eiko has grown up, so she can no longer be a child ...

Faint words, the feeling is not faint, with a sad taste, leisurely floating in that long time. Thinking in silence, unforgettable confusion and sadness, air-dried into a knot of childhood.
