Lyrics of Huang Lei's wait, wait, wait

When I opened the book, I remembered,

The novel was written on April 19, the 23rd year of the Republic of China.

Reading Shen Congwen's novels is like watching Discovery channel,

Always faithfully record the geography, humanity and history in the story.

Hunan is his hometown, as he said,

For farmers and soldiers with unspeakable Wen case.

His works are always understated in his living environment.

The border town is about a border town in Western Hunan,

A small mountain town called Chadong,

The granddaughter of the ferryman,

The sad love story of meeting the young master from the city.

This kind of theme is not special,

But Shen Congwen's words give the story endless melancholy,

Because he always takes care of the psychological state of each character in the same way

And its social background.

Therefore, there are few real villains in his novels,

Because these "villains" are just poor people manipulated by social values and morality.

Just like the end of the story of border town, my grandfather died in the wind and rain,

The boat on which to live was washed away.

This ferry is official,

However, the funds in the remote areas do not mean that they have to be available,

So people began to donate money.

Shen Congwen wrote that as soon as he saw that the old boatman had disappeared,

Cuicui's braid is tied with white thread,

I know that the old man has finished his job,

Quietly lying in the pit, to eat maggots.

And as she looked at Cuicui with sympathy, she felt for the money,

Put it in a bamboo tube.

God bless you, the dead go to the west, the living will always be safe.

Cuicui understands the compassion and sympathy of the donors,

Heart sour, busy body back to pull the boat.

Shen Congwen has a vivid description of the characters in the story,

At the same time, unlike many literal writers,

Deliberately avoid the emotional part.

I still can't hope for anything,

The last line Shen Congwen gave her was,

This man may never come back,

Maybe tomorrow.
