The forever door is a novel written by Shao Baojian. Through the emotional experience between Zheng Ruokui, the hero, and Pan Xuee, the old girl, and the regret that they failed to get together in the end, the defects in human nature and various problems in modern society are revealed.
The novel takes Jiangnan town as the background, and shows the characteristics and customs of Jiangnan water town through stories in ordinary small courtyards. The author describes the living conditions and psychological activities of small town residents with delicate brushstrokes, as well as their concepts of love, marriage and family.
The work adopts two clues of light and dark and the last sharp turn, which is compact in structure and ups and downs in plot. The open line is the love story of Zheng Ruokui and Pan Xuee, and the dark line is the concern and speculation of the neighbors. Finally, when sorting out Zheng Ruokui's relics, people found a bunch of white chrysanthemums, which revealed the fact that Pan Xuee had come to offer flowers to pay homage, which made people feel surprised and sorry.
The "eternal door" in the novel can be interpreted in many ways, which can refer to the door painted on the wall, and can also be understood as the gap between people's hearts and the door that is not connected with each other. There are only two simple dialogues repeated from beginning to end in the novel, suggesting that people here lack language communication. And "forever" also has two meanings, which can be understood as expressing the tragedy of the work-the two protagonists finally regret for life, Zheng Ruokui dies forever, and Pan Xuee regrets forever; It can also be understood as the author's deep meaning by combining environmental description-it takes a long process to transform national thought.
Generally speaking, The Gate of Eternity is a work with profound ideological connotation and artistic charm. Through delicate emotional description and profound social satire, it causes readers to think about human nature, marriage, love and life value.
