I have been fond of Hong Zhu’s works for a long time. Reading "Mother" gives me a warm feeling of meeting an old friend again. Hong Zhu's "Mother" was awarded the "2008 Prose Gold Award" at the 2008 China Prose Annual Conference, which reflects the Chinese Writers Association's recognition and respect for Hong Zhu's creations in recent years.
The article "Mother", by recalling the trivial things during her mother's lifetime, narrates her mother's love and dedication in the author's growth process, as well as the author's endless longing for her mother after her death, showing people that The most simple and shining love between mother and child in human nature eulogizes the ordinary and greatness of maternal love.
From a structural point of view, "Mother" is not written in chronological order, but uses a stream of consciousness technique to capture some small things in life and narrate them separately. This style is Hong Zhu's own "stanza". "Duan Style". After "Mother" won the award, "Duan Style" caused a sensation in the national prose circle and was called "Hongzhu Style". The author reviews several sections such as digging shepherd's purse with his mother, his mother stewing kelp and pork ribs soup for the author, the author's mother relying on hypnotics to fall asleep every time she left home, and the author's feelings when his mother was critically ill. He uses a red thread to connect these seemingly unrelated things. Together, it is the silent moisturizing of mother's love and the deep love between mother and child.
It can be said that the events "Mother" tells are not earth-shattering and are indistinguishable from our daily experiences, but it is in the trivial details of daily life that the deep love between mother and child is infiltrated. In "Digging for Shepherd's Purse", my mother "praises me for my sharp eyesight and skillful hands, and promises to beat my teeth as a gift when I get home. Digging for shepherd's purse with my mother seems to be more intoxicating than actually eating the shepherd's purse." The author is talking with his mother The joy gained from digging shepherd's purse can be preserved in memory longer than eating shepherd's purse. The mother's encouragement and love for the author nourished the author's heart. In the process of telling the story of "Kelp Braised Pork Ribs", the author said that the most delicious food in the world is the food cooked by his mother, "especially the meticulous and silent love that moisturizes everything. Chefs in star-rated hotels cannot imitate it." "Come out", the mother raised her son with meals cooked with love, and the words are full of warm and delicate feelings. Every time the "Wanderer" goes out, the mother's heart is affected. In order to survive, the mother cannot keep her son by her side, but she cannot stop herself from missing her beloved son. The mother "took sleeping pills to fall asleep" and her son's heart "ached". A son is a kite in the hands of a mother. Every time a mother flies her son, her heart bleeds.
Exquisite and beautiful language is Hong Zhu’s consistent writing style. The article is narrated in a eloquent way, making readers feel like they are seeing the person in front of them, as if they are actually there. In the detailed description of "Digging Shepherd's Purse", the words "carry", "carry", "crouch" and "dig" vividly depict the mother's movements of digging shepherd's purse, reminding readers of the mother's graceful figure when she was young, showing her A son's pride in having such a beautiful mother. After hearing the news that his mother was critically ill, the author wrote: "The word mother turns out to be a fragile thing in our lives. We must handle it with care!" The language of the article is vivid and beautiful, allowing people to capture human nature. We can even touch the author's trembling heartstrings with the softest emotion in the novel.
After "Mother" came out, it has been loved by literature lovers. It is indeed an excellent work worth reading again and again. While we appreciate "Mother", our souls are purified and our emotions are sublimated.
