"Outside the pavilion, on the side of the ancient road, the grass is blue and the sky is blue ... when will you come here? Don't wander when you come. ..... "This ballad, which reminds people of parting, emerged in Old Things in the South of the City.

After reading Old Things in the South of the City, I feel that there is something that the real world lacks-truth, goodness and beauty. The author of the book is Lin Haiyin. The interesting story of Haiyin's mother-in-law's childhood makes people feel as if they have returned to that strange but not long ago time. This book not only tells the story of the innocent friendship between children, but also reflects the poverty of the society at that time, the helplessness of having no money, all kinds of bizarre trivial matters between people, and the darkness of the feudal system.

The "Huian Pavilion" in the book tells a touching story between Xiaoying, Xiuzhen and Niu. Children's bravery and wit make people memorable and reflect on themselves at the same time.

Haiying's mother-in-law's articles, as well as those classic pictures hidden in the book, and that picture is a black and white painting outlined by elegant and beautiful lines. That kind of color full of philosophy, although there are only two colors, also embodies the good, evil, beauty and ugliness, ups and downs, which makes people enter a kind of exquisite beauty that can be experienced from the perspective of objective and authorities. The interweaving of pictures and words gives us a vivid picture like a movie. Eiko, a strange, shy and kind character, was portrayed.

Eiko and Niu are very close to each other, but they are beaten with sticks, which is the influence of Niu's misfortune. Later, the mother and daughter met again, and nature made people. Xiuzhen, a young and pure girl, may have come to this end because of "wrong love". Therefore, it is said: One misstep makes an everlasting regret.

Eiko's feelings are very prominent. She helped Niuniu and her mother reunite and gave them her mother's bracelet for travelling expenses, so that they could escape from their misery. Eiko's character, pure and lovely, has nothing mixed up, which moves me.

"Old Things in the South of the City" is not only a memoir, but also a masterpiece. With its unique characteristics, it washes people's selfishness and educates people. I read Lin Haiyin's mother-in-law's book, which really makes people feel its elegance and indulge in it.
