The image of Cui Cui in Shen Congwen's novel Border Town is small in Smile.

In Mr. Shen Congwen's novels Border Town and Rustling, they are all very pure, kind and beautiful. Their childhood, their love, their kind grandfather and the tolerant people around them are all so strikingly similar. Judging from their living environment, they were all born in the fields of Shan Ye, and they are the daughters of nature. Is a "wild girl" chasing clouds in the mountains and rivers of western Hunan. The distinctive regional characteristics make the two girls full of wild interest. They obey the laws of nature, and they have been out of control since childhood. They are healthy, lively, smart and a little silly, and they are free to die. Integrate humanity with mountains and rivers, and give feelings to fate. Slightly different is the nature of labor or the choice of division of labor. Cui Cui and grandpa belong to the boathouse, and Xiaoxiao and his family belong to a peasant family. From the perspective of interpersonal relationship: although their parents are hiding behind the scenes and never go out to the frontcourt, they are surrounded by a kind and caring grandfather. Grandpa not only gave their elders care in life, but also gave them a lot of fun in life. The difference is-family structure and living habits. Cui Cui's interpersonal communication is more social, and there are many boat passengers and small town figures in the past; Xiaoxiao's interpersonal communication is more familial, including husband, son, lover, mother-in-law, father-in-law, uncle and so on. Judging from the characters, they are all sensible, obedient, diligent and likable girls. The difference is that Cui Cui is introverted, with more worries in his stomach, more hopes and dreams of waiting, looking forward to a happy life. Xiao Xiao's personality is exposed. Being a daughter-in-law, raising children for your lover and marrying your husband are all natural things. There is not much hiding place and no sense of embarrassment. Like life is more realistic. Judging from their fate, they all involuntarily succumbed to or obeyed the sudden natural and man-made disasters imposed on them by the natural or social environment. Later, the situation was very different-on Cui Cui's side, the White Pagoda fell and Grandpa died. Although there is still a little bit of waiting and sustenance for love, it seems that there is not much possibility of getting married. She became an orphan and was left helpless at the foot of the mountain. She is still a girl, leaving readers more attention. Although Xiaoxiao was abandoned by a timid and irresponsible lover, she has two sons, a husband and a good home. The people she can be close to basically still live beside her. She has become a young woman, and Niu Er is engaged. If nothing happens, she will eventually have a room full of children and grandchildren. Readers pay much less attention to her. If there is, it is just a wish.
