Liu Zhenyun's 2021 blockbuster new work, many things in the world, two or three jokes
【Editor's recommendation】
★"Three Autumns in a Day" is a new work of realistic magical realism by the famous contemporary writer Liu Zhenyun, an upgraded version of "One Sentence is Worth Ten Thousand Sentences", which has been delayed for a hundred years and searched for a thousand years.
★From a pound of tofu in "A Pile of Chicken Feathers" to a handful of leeks in "A Day, Three Autumns", we have gone through thirty years, but our mentality is as if we have experienced three thousand years.
★The world of gods and ghosts, inside and outside the painting, inside and outside the play, inside and outside the dream, hometown, foreign land, history and the present - "Three Autumns in a Day" is not only an experience of time, but also an experience of space in six contradictions.
★"Three Autumns in a Day" is Liu Zhenyun's multi-dimensional reflection on his hometown and life. The book is structured with jokes and uses dry humor to dispel the severity.
★In an era when people are drifting further and further away from their hometowns, hometowns have become a distant symbol of memory, but their influence on people is endless. Liu Zhenyun writes about the fate of human nature with his unique observation and humorous style.
【Content introduction】
The novel "Three Autumns in a Day" quotes the folk legend of "Hua Er Niang" and uses an imaginary story to describe the paintings that my sixth uncle painted during his lifetime in my memory, exploring the essence of humor of the Yanjin people.
Chen Changjie, Li Yansheng and Yingtao were selected from the sketch of the troupe's characters in a two-meter square. The characters around the protagonists, such as drivers, street sweepers and restaurant owners, connected the life experiences and stories of several families, reproducing the forgotten emotions and thoughts of the world. Later, the ordinary father and son experienced the bitterness of life and realized the truth of life at different times and places: an important moment in life is like a day and autumn, but this moment will never come again.
The novel is full of black humor, philosophy contained in secular life, and imagination that breaks the barriers of daily life. Liu Zhenyun writes about human nature, land, and destiny in reality and imagination. It is both humorous and ironic; both magical and realistic.
