The novel Love of Hawthorn Tree tells the true love story of two young people in 1975. The protagonist Jingqiu is a beautiful girl in the city. Because her family is a landlord, she felt inferior from an early age. In high school, I was selected by the school because of my beautiful literary talent. Participated in editing teaching materials and went to a place called Xicunping to collect wind. On the way to this mountain village, I saw a hawthorn tree. According to the village chief who led the way, the tree was originally in white flowers. During his stay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, countless anti-Japanese heroes were shot and killed by Japanese devils under trees. Their blood irrigated the land under the tree, and the flowers of the tree gradually changed and became redder and redder. Finally, the tree bloomed with red flowers. After listening to the introduction of the village chief, Jingqiu looked at the tree again and vaguely felt that she saw a handsome young man. I don't know why, Jingqiu always thinks of that hawthorn tree. Later, this hawthorn tree witnessed Jingqiu's tragic love story when she lived in the village head's house, from knowing her third child to falling in love, and then leaving her with leukemia.
Jingqiu is a clever and kind girl. Although her family background makes her feel inferior, her personality is somewhat stubborn. When her life was in trouble, she vowed not to shed a tear in her life, because she shed too many tears when she was a child and knew that tears were useless. She wants to be a strong person, because her brother and father go to the countryside, her mother is in poor health and her sister is five years younger than her. She is the backbone of the family, so her slogan is: sweat, no tears. In order to treat her mother and reduce her father's burden, Jingqiu went to work on the construction site, carrying bricks and mud, which made her dizzy. In order to earn more money, she kept working even though her foot was swollen and she couldn't walk. When the third child sincerely confessed to her, she was both happy and scared. I am glad that she is really loved by a man she deeply loves, but I am afraid that she dare not accept this true love. The reason why she is afraid is that her mother will find out that she is "a small step and will regret it for a lifetime"; I am afraid that in the era of educated youth going to the countryside, engaging in objects will affect returning to the city; I am even more afraid that the son of the handsome and talented military commander Lao San will "break his word" to her ... However, what she didn't expect was that the son of the handsome and talented military commander Lao San gave her true love and was willing to do anything for her, from waiting for Jingqiu to graduate from high school, to working in Jingqiu, and then to becoming a full member in Jingqiu. When all her wishes came true, the third child got leukemia until. Jingqiu accepted the true love of the third child in the face of reality. However, in order to make Jingqiu happy and leave a complete woman for his lover, Lao San used his perfect personality to create a perfect and cleanest love for his beloved girl Jingqiu and him.
The third child knows that his days are numbered, but he still takes care of Jingqiu wholeheartedly for fear that she will get hurt. He put the letters, diaries, photos and other living objects written to Jingqiu in a military bag and entrusted them to his younger brother for safekeeping, saying that Jingqiu should not give them to her if she was happy. If her love is not smooth or her marriage is not happy, give these things to her, let her know that someone in this world once loved her wholeheartedly, and let her believe that there is eternal love in the world. He wrote in his diary, "Jingqiu, I can't wait for you for a year and a month, and I can't wait for you to be twenty-five, but I will wait for you all my life ..." Seeing this, I was deeply moved by my third child's love for Jingqiu. In his love, only she, only her happiness, not himself. Her smile is his greatest satisfaction. In his view, love is a natural emotion, respect, pity, her will and restraint on her happiness. ...
There is so much love and so little time. Although the love between Jingqiu and Lao San is so short, their love is so gorgeous. Since the death of the third child, every May, Jingqiu will go to the hawthorn tree with the third child to see the hawthorn flowers. In her opinion, the flowers on the tree are redder and brighter than those given to her by the third child, because the red hawthorn flowers are full of the blood of the third child. Ten, twenty and thirty years, the warm blood of the third child, accompanied by the love of the third child, flows in the blood of the quiet autumn, and that flowing love will always nourish the red love of the hawthorn tree. ...
Perhaps, in many of our emotional lives, there is no joy, no great sadness, no ups and downs, but it is undeniable that we all reach and yearn for a meaningful and sincere love, a love that we keep, know and accompany. Of course, there is also a kind of love, not only between men and women, but also kindness, sincerity, kindness and happiness.
Hawthorn tree is a symbol, a tree with endless life and love.
