Scenery narration interwoven with love and hate
Mo Yan chose a narrative language with completely different styles and colors for the same sorghum field. This is not only the catharsis of the author's subjective feelings, but also the side foil of the theme of the work. The first paragraph is what "my father" thought when he followed "my grandfather" through the sorghum field to fight the devil Lu.
There is vitality and hope in this magical land, and red sorghum is the eternal master of this land. They have been nourished by rain and dew and gained the essence of heaven and earth. They have grown up here for generations, witnessed the warmth and coldness of human feelings and the coldness of the world in Gaomi Northeast Township, and witnessed the heroic sons and daughters who defended their homes and resisted aggression on the black land.
The ideological activities of "my father" standing in front of the sorghum field are like a devout believer making a pilgrimage and praying in front of the Buddha. In this description, Mo Yan endowed red sorghum with the fullest soul and the greatest life. Taking red sorghum as an example, he is actually a national hero who is eulogizing generations and guarding his homeland like red sorghum.
At the end of the novel, Mo Yan wrote: "I want to use this article to summon the spirits wandering in the endless red sorghum fields in our hometown. I'm the black sheep of you. I'm going to take out my heart pickled with soy sauce, chop it up and put it in three bowls and put it in the sorghum field. Fu Wei is still very popular! Shangyi! "
This emotional catharsis is the best interpretation of the theme of Red Sorghum, which embodies the author's most sincere and enthusiastic love for people who are as determined as Red Sorghum in their hometown.
