Perhaps, childhood is the beginning of memory, a symbol of dreams, and represents people's nostalgia for the vicissitudes of innocence. Reading Old Things in the South of the City, I gradually approached the book and watched Eiko's happy childhood in the south of the city. They slowly and quietly seeped into my mind like a trickle: Hui 'an Pavilion, a well in an alley, busy streets, haystacks ... The figures that emerged in these places: the little girl by the well, the crazy woman in Hui 'an Pavilion-Xiuzhen, hiding in the haystacks.
When I read that Eiko was playing with Xiuzhen, a crazy woman in Huian Pavilion, I was really worried that Xiuzhen would do something to hurt Eiko. When Eiko knew that her best friend girl was Xiuzhen's daughter, Eiko not only helped their mother and daughter to sew again, but also gave them her birthday present-a diamond watch and her mother's gold bracelet, as a travel expense to find Uncle Si Kang. At the moment, I can't help being proud of Eiko. A six-year-old child knows friendship and love. This is probably a kind of power from life, inspiring her to grow up! Reading and reading, I am sometimes frightened and sometimes relaxed. I think it's strange: isn't Eiko afraid of Xiuzhen? Finally, I realized that her childhood was beautiful because she had a pure heart, and it was precisely because she had such a heart that her childhood was so happy. That's true, carefree and downright happy.
"Old Things in the South of the City" is both a memoir and a masterpiece. With its unique characteristics, it washes away people's selfishness and educates people. This book is really intoxicating. Like a master painter, it created a real human world and presented me with a wonderful performance. Close this book, there is a faint fragrance in the room, which can't be dispersed for a long time. ...
