I read Jia Pingwa's novel "Sitting Temporarily". This novel is set in the author's hometown of Xi'an. It tells the story of a group of wealthy women who help each other in life and spiritually in the fast-paced modern life. The story of clinging to each other shows the style of independent women today and their respective social relationships.

They are mysterious, beautiful, attractive and unpredictable. Some things, overtly or covertly, show us a different picture.

As the story unfolds, the world in this small teahouse is a microcosm of real society, and the interlocking fates show the characters' living conditions and mental state.

Behind these words, it seems that the author is upstairs in this small tea house, looking at everyone with compassion and concern: life is short, come and sit in the novel.

At first glance, this book "Sitting Temporarily" seems to be an erotic story between men and women, but in fact, there is almost no love between men and women in "Sitting Temporarily", and it is more about this group of women. The stories between them, the trivial matters of life between them, and their extended social relationships are intertwined to form a small social group and a small world. The inner world of every woman.

Sitting by the window, sipping tea, the experiences, gatherings and separations of each character in the book came to mind. As Mr. Jia Pingwa said, these dozen characters are paintings. A picture of "All Living Beings" was produced, and the characters in it were very much like the "Grand View Garden" in Dream of Red Mansions, interpreting the various expressions of all living beings. Among the ambiguous characters in the book, there is actually Mr. Jia Pingwa's profound understanding of all aspects of life.

In the novel, every character has a story, and every story has a love and hatred. And these are not fictional stories made up by Jia Pingwa, but stories adapted from real people.

In 1992, Jia Pingwa was at a low point in his life. He sent away his friend Lu Yao who was suffering from liver cancer. He was experiencing the double blow of losing his friend and failing his marriage.

At that time, he suffered from the same liver disease as Lu Yao because he stayed up late to write. The physical pain and the unsatisfactory life made it difficult for Jia Pingwa to breathe.

Under such life circumstances, Jia Pingwa thought about the advice his friend Lu Yao gave him before his death. Only with good health can he have more energy to create better works.

During the years when he was recuperating, Jia Pingwa wrote freely. He often went to a teahouse to sit, drink tea and chat. In this way, while drinking tea in the teahouse, he got to know the teahouse proprietress and more than a dozen people with their own experiences. Different beauties.

These 12 charming, sexy and charming women dress up every day, wandering among men with different roles, in exchange for some kind of benefit for themselves. They do not hesitate to use their bodies and emotions to make dirty deals.

However, the good times did not last long. The teahouse owned by the female owner closed down with the resignation of the "Big Tiger" in Xi'an. The 12 beautiful girlfriends could no longer gather at the teahouse to continue their "trade". Everyone left, the building was empty, and the tragic fate of the 12 women also came one after another.

So Jia Pingwa recorded the stories of these 12 charming women. After two years and four careful revisions, he finally wrote this book called "Sitting Temporarily".

I like to read Mr. Pingwa’s books. Although everyone has mixed praise and criticism about Mr. Pingwa, I feel that every time I read his book, I have a profound understanding of life.

Do you know why this book is called "Temporarily Sitting"? The Temporary Sitting Teahouse in Xijing City is the main scene where the novel’s characters’ activities and plot unfold. It also becomes the most direct explanation for the novel’s title “Temporary Sitting”. However, “Temporary Sitting” clearly contains more of the life that Mr. Wang wants to express. Connotation and rich meaning. The teacher explained that life is "sitting temporarily", and everyone comes into the world to "sitting temporarily". What the novel wants to express is society and the meaning of human life.

In his twilight years, Mr. Ping Wa used this book "Temporarily Sitting" to tell us what is most worth cherishing in life: the true nature and original intention, tranquility and non-controversy, things outside the body, it Life does not bring death, but greedy desire can only bring us shocking and lingering scars.

It is said in "Temporary Sitting" that life is a temporary sitting, and everyone comes to this world to sit temporarily.

Human life seems long, but in fact it is too short. It seems that you just sit in the world for a while and then leave. This book can be said to have solved the mystery of fate!
