"My father said excitedly: OK, it's a heifer!" My aunt said angrily: "It's really strange. When a woman gives birth to a girl, a man will droop his face; when a cow gives birth to a heifer, a man will grin happily!" The father said: "Little cow" When a cow grows up, she can breed calves! My aunt said: What about people? Can’t a little girl also give birth to a baby when she grows up? My father said: That’s different. My aunt said: What’s the difference!”

"I remembered that my mother said more than once during her lifetime, what are women born to do? In the final analysis, women are here to give birth to children. A woman's status is born from giving birth to children, a woman's dignity is also born from giving birth to children, and a woman's happiness and Glory also comes from giving birth to children. It is the greatest pain for a woman not to give birth to children. A woman who does not give birth to children is not a complete woman. Moreover, if a woman does not give birth to children, her heart becomes hardened. A woman does not give birth to children. , aging extremely fast.”

"A winding path, with reeds as tall as a person on both sides, and patches of water, illuminated by the moon, shining like glass. Toads and frogs croaked. The ones on this side stopped, and the ones on the other side started to cry. , Like this, like pulling songs. For a while, all sides of all directions are screamed. She wanted to run, but she couldn't. The mud on the path was like the chewing gum spit out of young people's mouths, firmly sticking to the soles of her shoes. Every time she raised her feet, she had to use all her strength. She saw silver threads pulling between the soles of her shoes and the road. She broke these threads, but new threads were formed wherever she landed. She threw away her shoes and walked barefoot on the dirt road. But after being barefoot, she felt the suction of the mud on the ground more intimately, as if those silver threads had given birth to suction cups, firmly attached to the soles of her feet, and the skin and flesh on the soles of her feet had to be torn... My aunt said, from the depths of those dense reeds , countless frogs jumped out from the leaves of the silver water lilies. Some of them were green, and some were golden."

"A guilty person cannot and has no right to die. He must live, endure torture, torture, frying over and over like a fish, and simmering like medicine. In this way, he can atone for his sins and atone for his sins. Only then can you die with ease."

In 2021, I borrowed books such as "Frog" and "Big Breasts and Wide Hips" by Nobel Prize winner Mo Yan. These books allowed me to see the characteristics of Mo Yan's meticulous literary creation, complete structure, clear rhythm, and simple writing. At the same time, it also highlights his consistent style of local literature. Mo Yan's books give me the biggest impression of realism and elegance in the vulgar. You can see this from the excerpts above. I often feel a little resistant while reading, but I don't want to give up. This may be the charm of Mo Yan's writing. Bar. As International Women's Day approaches, I would like to introduce some books related to women, so I will record my mixed thoughts and feelings with "Frog".
"Frog" is a film with "Aunt (Wan Xin)" as the first important character and "I (pen name: Tadpole, original name: Wan Zu)" as the second important character. It is based on the ups and downs of rural birth history in Northeast Gaomi Township. The background revolves around "aunt"'s life experience as a rural doctor who has been working in obstetrics and gynecology for more than 50 years and the changes in "my" life and outlook on life. The content also involves sensitive topics such as family planning that has been promoted for more than 30 years, shaping the "Aunt" has two contradictory characters, one is the "child-giving lady" who has delivered nearly 10,000 babies, and the other is the "murderous demon" who resolutely implements the national policy of family planning, which analyzes the humble and humble nature of "I" as an intellectual. An awkward, entangled, and contradictory spiritual world.
After reading the whole book, I still feel very sorry for "Auntie". In the first half of her life, she was a rural doctor that everyone loved, and in the second half of her life, she was a family planning cadre that everyone despised. As a result, she lived in an inescapable extreme contradiction. and pain, so that in her old age, her fear of frogs, condolences for clay dolls, and her final suicide were all repentance and redemption for the past. She was a witness and practitioner of that era and that history. In her own special way, she wrote about the helplessness and sorrow of that generation. Her attitude towards life is serious and responsible, but as written in the book, "What can I do." At the same time, the entire book hides Mo Yan's care, awe and praise for life, from the character's name (Wan Xin) , Wanzu, Chenbi, Chener, Chenmei, Wangjiao, etc.), the storyline, and even the name of the book "Frog" are all songs about life, "frog" sounds the same as "wa", "wa", "Wow", from the time when Nuwa created a human being, to the birth of a baby, and then to the crying of a child, it was the beginning of a new life. However, family planning killed the new life. This was also a serious interrogation of that era.
Before the 21st century, women's status was still relatively low, and they were often considered only tools for nurturing life. They were not respected, recognized, or known. However, with the advancement of the times, women's status continues to improve, and more and more women Many women have emerged in different professional positions. Tu Youyou, the first Chinese to win the Nobel Prize in Medicine, Wang Yaping, the first female astronaut of the Chinese Space Station, Zhang Guimei, the outstanding teacher of the people, etc., are the role models of the times, the progress of the times, and the inspiration of the times. light. Gorky once said: "Without the sun, flowers will not bloom; without love, there will be no happiness; without women, there will be no love; without mothers, there will be neither poets nor heroes." Women are the same as men. People are also independent people. Equality and respect are the key to a harmonious society.
