A famous sentence in Hometown:

Hope can be said to have or not, just like the road on the ground. In fact, there was no road on the ground, but there were more people walking where there was no road, so there was a road. The same is true of hope. Originally, there was no hope for everyone, but there were more people looking forward to it, and there were more people thinking positively, so there was hope.

This is the last sentence of Lu Xun's Hometown, which expresses good hope for the next generation of people such as Shuisheng and the whole society.

I ate grass, but what I squeezed out was milk and blood.

This famous saying comes from Lu Xun's Wild Grass. It means that I live the simplest life, but I take out my best and most valuable things. That is what people often say, what matters is not taking, but giving.

Description of Hometown:

1. Atmosphere description?

There are two kinds of atmosphere in this novel, one is heavy and gloomy, and the other is light and joyful (the former is like the description of the scenery at the beginning and near the end, and the latter is like the scene of a watermelon field under the moon). These two kinds of atmosphere seem as if light and dark are projected on both sides of an object at the same time, giving people a complex, rich and beautiful experience and infection.

2. Comparative art?

This novel adopts the artistic technique of contrast, which is mainly reflected in the characterization and structural arrangement. First of all, the characters themselves are in sharp contrast. Secondly, there is a sharp contrast between the image and the image. There is a sharp contrast between Runtu and Sister-in-law Yang Er in their ideological character and life style. Thirdly, the structure of the novel is in sharp contrast.

The whole work of Hometown adopts the art of contrast, but it is not a simple patchwork, but a clever combination of characterization and scenery description, so that the whole work constitutes a picture with very harmonious and vivid colors, which is profound and meaningful.

The art of contrast in novels has three main characteristics. First of all, the contrast between Hometown is reflected by pure color drawing. The author's language is accurate and simple, without any carving, and by using the technique of sketching, he reproduces the life scene of "I" returning to my hometown and getting along with all kinds of people in my relatives and neighbors, and reveals the life changes and personnel changes.

Secondly, the artistic contrast of Hometown is permeated with rich poetic sentiment. The author's sincere love for his hometown and the working people is cast in his works. Thirdly, there is a deep philosophy of life in the artistic contrast of Hometown.
