The explanations are as follows: 1, China liberation: Fugui returned home after the liberation of China, and both novels and movies experienced the Great Leap Forward, steel refining and pot cooking. Different from movies, novels also involve land reform. In the novel, Fugui's family lives in a village in the south and has been farming. Fugui's family has more than 100 acres of land besides real estate. Because all the gambling was lost to Long Er, Long Er became Fugui's scapegoat in the "land reform" and was shot.
The story in the movie takes place in a small town in the north. Fugui's family didn't farm land to feed their lives, so it has nothing to do with land reform. In the movie, Long Er was also shot, but not because of land reform, but because of his "counter-revolutionary sabotage". In the novel, due to the establishment of the people's commune, all the things in Fugui's family-pots and sheep-were confiscated, and farming became a work point. It doesn't matter if Fugui is lazy in his work. Later, the canteen broke up and everyone had nothing to eat. But in the movies, Fugui's family never lacked food.
2. During the famine: Fugui led his son Youqing to sell sheep for rice; Jia Zhen dragged her sick body to her family to beg for rice; Fengxia and Wang Si compete for sweet potatoes and so on. In the movie, there is only the scene of everyone eating together in the canteen, and there is no hunger, and there is no mention of breaking up and famine in the canteen.
3. During the Cultural Revolution: "To some extent, it expressed people's fear of the Cultural Revolution at that time. "The film reflects the Cultural Revolution through the fact that the Red Guards were in power when Fengxia was hospitalized, Professor Wang went hungry, and Chunsheng visited Fugui at night. On the whole, it deliberately played down the specific situation of the Cultural Revolution. "
Extended data
There are no ups and downs in Alive, only plain and simple narratives. As a bystander, the author listened to all the details of Fugui's life experience, including buying medicine for his mother, but he was arrested for military service. Although the background was the liberation war, he did not say that the liberation war broke out, nor did he say that Fugui went to the battlefield to fight bravely. But through a small matter to lead out the latter things, with a simple state of life. For example, villagers go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables and dig roots; ?
In order to fill his stomach, Wang Si ignored his personality and grabbed sweet potatoes with Fengxia. The village chief led people to Fugui's house to search for rice ... There is no special description of an event in the novel, but a simple narrative, which understates the life and historical state at that time.
It can be said that the state of these lives is good, and it is also good to restore the history at that time. Fugui did not follow history, but history followed Fugui. And this real state of life reflects the historical background at that time and the helplessness and sadness of little people's lives.
For many writers' new novels, in order to restore history, they prefer to use upper-class people with status and status, such as businessmen, generals, officials, etc., and use small people as a foil to big people.
This way is really suitable for reflecting the historical events at that time, but it can't comprehensively reflect the living state. Yu Hua's Living starts from a little character, Fugui, and lets him describe the life, even trivial things, thus reflecting the state of life. How wonderful it is that he does not pursue the historical essence, does not reveal the historical essence from major events, but shows the historical essence in secular life.
