The main content of Memories of Sixteen Years ago: describes Li Dazhao's care and love for his family as his father, Li Dazhao's loyalty to the revolutionary cause as a revolutionary, and also expresses the author's admiration and deep nostalgia for his father.
Analysis:
This is an article about revolutionary history. However, compared with articles on revolutionary history such as The Five Heroes of Langya Mountain, Memories of Sixteen Years ago is a memoir, but it is different from ordinary memoirs. Its characters are fuller, more comprehensive, more real, and more literary and historical value.
Extended data writing background:
Memories of Sixteen Years ago is an essay published on 1943 by Li Xinghua, daughter of China modern writer Li Dazhao.
It was the sixth anniversary of Li Dazhao's death/kloc-0. The author wrote this article to describe the story of Comrade Li Dazhao, one of the important leaders of China's * * * production party, who persisted in his work under the cruel white terror, was unfortunately arrested, fought bravely in the court behind enemy lines, and finally died heroically.
Judging from the title of the article, as a daughter who has deep feelings for her father, it seems unreasonable that the word "father" does not appear in the title of the article recalling her father. "Memories sixteen years ago" is a formal centripetal structure, "Memories" is the central word, and "Sixteen years ago" indicates the time of memories.
The author is not only the daughter of a revolutionary, but also a worker engaged in teaching and folk literature research. She took this title as the only choice, obviously she didn't want to regard the article as a purely private and emotional text between father and daughter. From the perspective of language expression, consciously paying attention to narrative conforms to objective reality, and the language is very cautious.
For example, it also mentioned the time. When writing "April 6th" (the day when Li Dazhao was arrested), the article said "My father was writing in the back room, and I was sitting on the bench outside reading the newspaper"; Write the date "April 28th" (the day when Li Dazhao was killed), and the article says "I cried again, picked up the newspaper from the ground, gritted my teeth and barely read it".
Two exact times were written in the newspaper, which shows that the author is quite cautious about the specific time in the article. This reflects the author's other writing tone: her attitude towards her father's memory is quite strict, and she has a taste of historical biography writing.
