Brief Introduction of Love in a Small Town

Love in a Small Town is about abnormal sexual relations under the suppression of ignorance. The writer does not condemn the hero in a moral sense, but shows the lack of male subject consciousness in a psychological sense. The story happened in a closed town during the Cultural Revolution, which itself was a period of suppressing all normal desires of people. The novel text first provides a lonely environment atmosphere. In historical materials, we can see that abuse, cannibalism and various violent incidents occurred in the motherland during this period, and the love formed in this environment also attacked the hearts of young men and women with crazy shadows. As the evolution of a desperate period, the shy feeling in the hazy period and the unrestrained crazy sex that later made two people grow old quickly spent twice as fast on sexual desire as ordinary men and women. The ancient and quiet environment of the small town provides a lot of places for lonely men and women to play, so that when they arrive in other places, they feel a strong sense of insecurity. In the novel description, their almost primitive copulation is the best expression of their desire to be close to people, and sex is a primitive motif. In this deconstruction, it is not redemption or venting, but more a helpless relationship. There has always been a cry of "no one can help them" in the novel, and the whole social ethics is like a huge trap burying people. The ignorant feelings formed in the closure are based on sexual enlightenment, that is, the sensory basis. It is extreme to say that this kind of emotion is deformed, ignoring human nature. In the relationship between the hero and heroine, sex is an effective form of communication and emotional content, so there is no choice. They hide themselves in front of people and even hate each other, but when no one is around, they express each other's needs in the most primitive and intimate way of human beings, and instinctive desires become the master.

Internship in the song and dance troupe is also an important image in their relationship. They exercise abnormally, women are getting stronger and stronger, and men are getting shorter and shorter. When they practice, they torture themselves to get another kind of pleasure different from sexual intercourse. Their physical distortion and pain can't compare with their inner loneliness and sadness at all. No one can guide them in anything. The novel is full of the confused mentality of the hero and heroine from beginning to end. No one is closer to them than the other, and no one can rely on them. Knowing each other's bodies has become a spiritual fit between two people. Only by making love can we be less lonely. Following the initial inspiration, the time has been shortened for decades.

Getting old is a sign.

They are getting older and older, especially "she", who was beautiful and plump at first, and became a peasant woman in the later torture. "... more and more sloppy, careless about clothes, dressed in a mess, but still flapping powder ...' She is a sissy'" The early sexual experience made the opposite sex no longer have the hazy and shy beauty in the eyes of precocity.

Suicide is also impossible. Dying in "her" uneducated mind is just a concept far away from now. A woman who wants to commit suicide finally instinctively craves life, and it is not good to die.

This environment is desperate, and their unhealthy psychological relationship also makes them desperate. Taking pregnancy as the fuse, he was finally abandoned by men and was no longer a lover.

There is a turning point in the story, as if a crazy machine suddenly stepped on the right track.

Love in a Small Town is the return of female noumenon. After the frenzied passion, the mother "she" finally got peace of mind. There is no strong moral condemnation here, and the protagonist's abandonment of his pregnant lover is the last resistance of the novel. Wang Anyi wrote the series of "Three Loves" with an experimental mentality, so the resistance to the layout structure of traditional novels was consciously added to the text by the author. The hero and heroine didn't die, and they didn't get together. Instead, they lived a new life. Ironically, however, the heroine who was regarded as a prostitute by the whole city after giving birth to a child was "washed by the storm of lust, and she was cleaner and purer than before", and she and her children began a real life.

This is a process of transformation, with the participation of men and the awakening of women after giving up. Although "she" doesn't know it, life itself has a special talent. At the end of the novel, the power of motherhood becomes the best way to solve all problems. For the heroine, it arranged a happy ending and returned to herself.

On the other hand, the protagonist's mentality becomes darker. Abandoned by him, she can accept life calmly, which is rare in China's traditional novels. The new deconstruction with this model is a brand-new creative experience. The title said "give it up", but it was a bittersweet ending. It is difficult for readers to feel comfortable when reading this novel. The repressed and distorted lust runs through the novel. The crazy and surprising state of sexual hunger and thirst, and the morbid emotions derived from the helpless environment are all stimulated by words one after another. But the madness in front of me developed very calmly and ended in an unusually calm ending.

Sex is the motif of literary creation, and regression is the theme of human nature. In this novel, the combination of the two indicates the awakening of women. The heroine of the novel finally teased the child with a peaceful and compassionate attitude in the training room where they first met, and aroused the mother's broad and sacred sense of responsibility in the voice of the child's "mother". The awakening of a woman as a mother has replaced the fanaticism as a lover, and there is no real hate or true love. The "he" in that heart gradually became a memory and went away, returning to himself and becoming the most real existence.

The meaning of "he" in the novel is more about expressing the lack of male subject consciousness, without the responsibility of lover and father. Even if you get married, you can't rule out inner confusion. In this novel with the traditional text of men abandoning women, the ultimate tragedy is borne by men. In a sense, "he" is the last tragic hero.

The definition of the role in Love in a Barren Mountain is the deconstruction of the opportunity in the relationship between men and women, and the detachment of love on the issue of men and women in Splendid Valley highlights how acute and ignorant the issue of men and women is in Love in a Small Town.

Love in a Small Town has a playful irony in ignorance, and returning in focus is the eternal happiness. When the readers are surprised by the crazy sexual relationship in the novel, the writer's brushwork has expressed the instinctive treatment of women's dilemma faster and more generously than the readers. This gives the novel an atmospheric ending.

Regression itself is a huge theme concept of human beings, and countless times we are looking forward to returning to nature or ontology. But the concept of regression has been stolen countless times, and the person who wrote this paper can't confirm what the real concept and intention of regression are. When people can tolerate themselves or others, does the calm state of mind after completing the passion like "she" mean returning, and when women have the lack of men in sexual life, they can still find comfort in other places, does it mean the awakening of independent consciousness?

The answer to the novel is only one direction, and the discussion on the motif of human beings will never end. The calm after the vigorous, like the return of the protagonist, gives a reason for madness.
