Introduction: "Blockade" is a novel written by Zhang Ailing during the Republic of China. "Blockade" describes the behavior of the male and female protagonists that are different from the norm when the bus is blocked. They fell in love on the bus. But after getting off the bus, they broke up naturally. The following is a wonderful collection of reading notes that I have collected and compiled. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

Thoughts after reading "Blockade" by Zhang Ailing 1:

"Blockade" is a short story by Zhang Ailing. It describes the "blockade" of various characters on a tram during this period. Various mentalities show us a miniature society.

Lu Zongzhen is an accountant at Huamao Bank, and Wu Cuiyuan is an English teacher at Shenguang University. They play a good role in their respective jobs, in their families, and even in society. Role. But in their hearts they were lonely, lonely and tired, and in their hearts they longed for someone who could understand them, so they met and chatted on a tram during the "lockdown" period. At first, Lu Zongzhen only sat next to Wu Cuiyuan to avoid his cousin, and he also started chatting with Wu Cuiyuan to anger his wife, but then their chat became more and more speculative. What had been hidden deep in their hearts? Desire? is starting to stir up. But after the blockade, everything returned to its original state. They would still play their respective roles, and they would also forget what happened on the tram today.

Everyone is like this. There are some unknown desires deep in people's hearts, which will be revealed in specific environments and times. But? Desire? Everything will return to calmness after that, and everything will be as it was before, without any change. Maybe they are afraid that there will be any changes and do not want to change! This may be the contradiction of human beings, both desire and fear !

Thoughts after reading "Blockade" by Zhang Ailing 2:

Recently, I read the short story "Blockade" by the modern Chinese writer Zhang Ailing, and I was deeply moved. The author uses exquisite and delicate writing techniques to narrate the stories of characters that happened during the tram blockade, as naturally, smoothly and vividly as narrating daily life. Allow readers to experience the real story as if they were actually there.

The entire novel takes the tram blockade as the main line, describing the various manifestations of people during the blockade and the story of Lu Zongzhen and Wu Cuiyuan's chance encounter and love. It also echoes the shouts of a beggar from Shandong, reproducing the social status of the time and making the characters vividly displayed in front of the readers.

The author uses a keen mind that is good at observing life to vividly portray the characters' shapes, movements, and language, making the readers immersed and meaningful in reading. Such as the details of Lu Zongzhen being stuck to the newspaper when he was eating steamed buns, the description of Wu Cuiyuan's clothes and appearance, the scene of medical students modifying the human skeleton and the crowd watching, the rebellious psychology of Lu Zongzhen when he met his wife and nephew Dong Peizhi, and the deep emotions when Lu Zongzhen and Wu Cuiyuan met. The descriptions, etc. are as realistic as the author's personal experience, leaving readers with endless aftertaste.

In the article, in order to avoid his wife and nephew Dong Peizhi, Lu Zongzhen pretended to be close to Wu Cui, but the whole process of mutual affection and love was full of drama and beauty. But Xiaodi left Wu Cuiyuan and returned to his original seat. Everything seemed to have returned to its original state as if nothing had happened. This also made the heroine suddenly realize: It was like the whole Shanghai had taken a nap and had an inhumane dream. ?The ending cannot be said to be sad, but it fully tells the emotional journey of a man and a woman falling in love by chance in the boring state of the tram blockade, and their thoughts return to normal when the tram starts, and they enter normal life again like waking up from a dream. It makes readers feel the same and infinite Imagine.

I just want to read "Blockade" a few more times, feel the author's smooth and impressive writing style and sincere and delicate emotions, and taste the beautiful spiritual food she has brought to me.

Thoughts after reading "Blockade" by Zhang Ailing 3:

It was late at night, and the cold became more and more unbridled in the dark. In the time that had lost its flow, I finished reading "Blockade".

In my opinion, "Blockade" seems like an ordinary cup of tea at first glance, but when you taste it, has there been any kind of tea that gradually melts from the tip of your tongue, spreads to your throat, and reaches the bottom of your heart? The bitterness mixed with the sweet taste will make you remember this cup of tea for your whole life.

From the noisy scene at the beginning of the novel (maniacally pulling the iron fence and shouting?), to silence (the human voice gradually becomes fainter?), and then to the noisy scene (breaking the silence?), the characters (middle-aged couple) , Lu Zongzhen, Dong Peizhi, Cuiyuan), and then silence returns. Everyone uses this repetitive technique frequently, is Zhang Ailing nothing more than that?

Mediocrity is not synonymous with her. A pile of ordinary ashes can give birth to a phoenix rising from the fire, turning the ordinary into immortality. It is Zhang Ailing who style.

The mundanity at the beginning is just a way to guide the reader. In such repeated changes, readers can't help but become the tram running in that blocked city, temporarily isolated from the world, observing and sizing up with their own vision. As a result, your own spirit is also blocked, and reality is divorced from you. Your mind, heart, and eyeballs are only devoted to every passenger on that tram.

Then came the scene where Lu Zongzhen, in order to avoid Dong Peizhi, actually struck up a conversation with a strange woman. It is this scene that the author has written the most about. In my opinion, it was written very successfully. All the readers see are strangers, strange good people, strange environments, and strange perspectives. Because it is unfamiliar, I am curious. How did Lu Zongzhen start a conversation with a strange woman? Why did Cuiyuan and Lu Zongzhen strike up a conversation when they were strangers to each other? How did they find the topic? Then he began to observe the characters. The calmness was broken instantly, and his heart was filled with curiosity about the conversation between the two. The author did not describe other passengers, making the readers feel like God watching the earth - an exclusive live broadcast with an unobstructed view.

As a result, the reader's spirit is further isolated from the outside world, and a further blockade is formed.

Until the final chapter (?The scale insect disappeared and crawled back to the nest), I returned to reality. It's like a dream. After waking up from the dream, I can't remember the details, only the deep aftertaste is left.

Zhang Ailing’s imagination has great tension, and it often shines in the most ordinary places. An ordinary tram track can be described as a curved track, which lengthens and shortens by changing the viewing angle. The track is a dead thing, but it is the author's thoughts that give it life. The scene of reading the Bible from afar is so ordinary, but what if the Bible is regarded as life? This is amazing to us. But if that's all it is, it would be too much for Zhang's imagination. She thought of the Bible being translated from Hebrew into Greek by the Romans, then translated into Latin by the Vatican, and then translated into English-Chinese-Shanghai dialect. After many translations, just like how much life has been baptized by feasting and feasting, the original color can no longer be seen. It's wonderful and exciting.

The strong sense of substitution and the flowery sentences are what impressed me most about "Blocked". Because of its defamiliarization, the article has a black hole-like appeal and allows readers to block their spirits. A connection to reality, a total immersion in it.

I don’t know how the reviewers commented on this "Blockade", but it made me realize that there are no ups and downs of the plot, no love triangles, no quarrels between brothers, no red apricots coming out. Despite the wall section, a novel can still show its unique appeal.

Tell yourself to stand bravely in the wind and bear the pain of loneliness.

If the prosperity around me has nothing to do with me, what difference does it make if it is blocked or not?

A life of ups and downs, allure and splendor, suddenly a dream.

Why can’t I see clearly?

My original face in the mirror.
