【Content Introduction】
Dionisio Pinzon, whose arms were disabled, could only make a living by doing manual labor as a "caller" in the village. At a temple fair, he rescued a dying golden rooster and took good care of it, but his mother died from overwork. With nothing, he placed his fate on the rooster and decided to go out on his own.
The golden rooster won many cockfights, which unexpectedly gave him the courage to live. While traveling around the country, Benson met a "castrated chicken girl". He was invincible wherever she was. Just when he thought his luck was turning, fate had its own plan...
【Celebrity Reviews】
Carlos Vero's commission to adapt The Golden Chicken for a film has forced me to get to know a work that I am sure I know better than the author himself. ... Rulfo's personal charm shines through in his writing.
—Gabriel García Márquez
It would be foolish and wrong to classify The Golden Cockerel as a minor work, no matter what the classic author. Perhaps it is more appropriate to consider that Juan Rulfo felt that literature as a film script could evoke inner vitality.
——Zhao Zhenjiang
Juan Rulfo reflects on the last men and women of our land.
—Carlos Fuentes
Rulfo's writing reveals "a landscape that is not what our eyes see, but what lies behind what we see. A landscape that never speaks of itself but of something else, even something more distant. It is a metaphysical, a religious, a thought about man and the universe. (...) Rulfo is the only Mexican novelist who has given us an image of the Mexican landscape instead of a description of it."
—Octavio Paz
Rulfo's novel is not only a masterpiece of 20th century literature, but also one of the most influential books of the 20th century.
—Susan Sontag
It was Juan Rulfo who truly opened the entrance to time for the first time. It was the mysterious, irrational, multi-time, transcending life and death, and breaking logic concept that made him obsessed and pushed the writing of "regionalism" to a dreamy and divine extreme.
——Jidi Maga
Rulfo's novel is like a sad song that wanders through the Mexican countryside, with no beginning or end and confusing lyrics.
——Zhang Jia
About the Author · · · · · ·
Juan Rulfo (1917-1986)
Mexican novelist, known as the "pioneer of Latin American new novel", left only a very limited number of works in his lifetime, but he is regarded as a literary idol by many writers. He is the winner of the Mexican National Literature Award, the Villaurrutia Literature Award, and the Prince of Asturias Literature Award of Spain, and a member of the Mexican Language Academy. Together with Octavio Paz and Carlos Fuentes, he is known as the "three horses" of Mexican literature in the second half of the 20th century.
Rulfo was born in a small town in Jalisco, Mexico in 1917. His first work was published in his own magazine "America", and he subsequently wrote a series of short stories, which were published in 1953 under the title "The Burning Fields".
In 1955, Pedro Páramo was published. The novel is not only profound in conception but also innovative in artistic form. It is still considered "one of the pinnacle novels of Latin American literature" and is widely circulated in countries around the world.
In 1956, Rulfo returned to the capital to write a commercial film script, and soon afterward, The Golden Chicken was completed. The Golden Chicken was made into a film in 1964, but the text was not first published until 1980.
Rulfo died in Mexico City in 1986.
