The bandit I want to live on the Internet is known as the "sorrowful queen". Her novel "A good time is like a Dream" is really a sad novel. Compared with many of her long romance novels, "A good date is like a Dream" has its own characteristics, for example, it is pure and warm. Although it is sad, the hero and heroine of the story do not have the kind of grudge or cruelty that is common in romance novels. Therefore, reading "A good time is like a Dream" can also read the meaning of "chicken soup for the soul".
First, the "breaking cocoon into butterfly" in the narrative mode.
The narrative modes of three types of novels can be read out from "A Dream of Beautiful dates": the love novel of the rich family or the novel of Cinderella or the novel of love triangle.
An important narrative background of the rich love novel is that the love story takes place in a rich or expensive family (ethnic) environment. Then, rich and expensive, often become the alienation factor of love, so that the real love into the rich (money) and expensive (power) trade-off and competition. Contention or concealment or manifestation is a kind of normal, and the tragedy caused by contention is also a kind of normality. Happiness and romance will be some kind of "post station" in the process of competition among the rich and powerful. This kind of "post station" can be a period of calm in the struggle of the protagonist's life. It can also be the competition of the elders in exchange for the protagonist's life of food and clothing, happiness and romance.
The Cinderella novel also has a background of a rich family, but the heroine from a humble background inadvertently has something to do with the rich family. The virtue of Cinderella is inspired and protected by the gods, conquers the rich family, and passively becomes the distributor of the rich and noble of the rich family.
In the novel "love triangle", the basic mode is that an object is loved by two or more people at the same time, which leads to love and hatred.
"Marriage is like a Dream" is undoubtedly about the love of powerful families. Meng Heping and Ruan Zhengdong are both the "second generation" of the military region compound and the princes who grew up in rich and noble families. Their love life is, of course, love of a rich family. You Jiaji is just the daughter of a small brewery worker in Shaoxing and abandoned by a mother who lives a very unbearable life. She is a typical "Cinderella". Meng Heping and Ruan Zhengdong are lovers before and after Youjia period, but in fact they are always in the triangular conflict of emotion. Therefore, "A good time is like a Dream" can also be classified as a "love triangle" novel.
"Marriage is like a Dream" writes about the love of the rich, the Cinderella and the love triangle, but it does not fall into a stereotype and breaks the cocoon into butterflies. First, it effectively avoids the struggle for the right of the love of the rich and powerful. In the novel, the background of the rich is watered down, and the subject of the narrative restores the original meaning of love. The protagonists from wealthy families also reduce the "dandy" inherent in their identity, strengthening their persistent spirit of pursuing true love. Meng Heping, although born from a wealthy family, has established his life by starting his own business. Although Ruan Zhengdong smacks of playboy, he is willing to pay silently for true love. At the same time, suffering from a terminal illness also brought him the weakness of his fate. The strength of the giants has been effectively dispelled. Second, Cinderella did not marry into a rich family and became a sharing of wealth and wealth, but a lonely and courageous giver of love. Third, the works write "love triangle", but do not see love and hatred, but express the main tone of goodness and love.
Second, the change of narrative rhythm.
The narrative rhythm of "A good time is like a Dream" shows the effect of changing the scene. The overall structural framework of the work is the alternating presentation of two love experiences in the prime period. The first love with Meng Heping is mainly through recollection, and the second love with Ruan Zhengdong is mainly written. Virtual and real, in the progress of the plot, frequently alternate, set off each other. The love scenes that happened in the past and the love scenes that are happening are presented one after another, and the clear memories of the past and the stories that are happening are described in detail. Move to change the scene, bring effective reading effect, two love forms a natural contrast relationship, the development of two love lines, constitute the suspense of reading, lead the reader to pursue the ending of the story. The frequent transformation of characters and time and space effectively avoids the tiredness of the readers caused by the same character performance, and makes the readers interested in reading all the way.
Third, elegance and melancholy in narrative language
"A good time is like a dream" can see the characteristics of elegance and melancholy in the narrative language. The author's narrative language is consistent with the heroine's temperament, which is elegant and melancholy. The elegance and melancholy of the novel first of all comes from the aestheticism of the story itself. The two relationships in the prime period were pure mutual affection. About money, status, cars, houses and other practical utilitarianism, they did not enter the topic of their love. They talked about "sex" in general love novels, and did not enter the narrative field of vision of the novel. In the progress of the plot, although there are emotional entanglements, there is no intrigue or intrigue. Pay for love, dedication to love, is the main theme of the narrative, even extremely exclusive love, in the two heroes, are sent you humble me to let the gentleman wind. Secondly, the identity temperament of the heroine, you Jiaqing, brings the elegance and melancholy of the novel. Although you Jiaqing came from a humble background, she was born with beauty, and there is a commendable "solitary courage" in her character. It is this kind of "solitude and courage" that brings her refined performance in her love life. At the same time, because of love, because of unforgettable love, formed a long and melancholy life journey. Third, the elegance and melancholy of the novel comes from the language of the novel itself. The language of the novel is in line with the protagonist's identity and living environment, and reveals the author's classical aesthetic feelings almost everywhere from character dialogue, psychological description and environmental description, as well as the author's profound classical literature skills.
IV. Metaphysical thinking and metaphysical rigidity
"A good time is like a dream" can see some metaphysical thinking that the author has. Like love and dignity. The reason why you Jiaji categorically gave up her love for Meng Heping, because there was an insurmountable obstacle between them, that is, Meng's mother hurt the personal dignity of Meng Jiaji. Dignity should be more important than love. For example, about love and happiness. You Jiaji originally thought that sacrificing for her lover could lead to complete happiness, but then she realized that it was a mistake. "self-sacrifice does not make people happy. Because the person you really love, even if that person leaves, the other person will not stop loving him. " True love will never be forgotten and will never stop. Or about love and waiting. Meng Heping waits for the loss of love. Ruan Zhengdong waited for the arrival of love. Youjiaji is also waiting for his confirmation of love. However, waiting, it will be teased by fate, leading to the loss of love. It took a long time to learn to end, to learn to love someone again, but at this moment, Ruan Zhengdong had no time to give it to her. "when I finally fell in love with you, I would never tell you, for fear that you might think it was too late and that you might feel sorry." in this way, she let Ruan Zhengdong leave her at ease.
After reading the whole book, it is hard to avoid the rigidity of the type of novel in the process of writing. More pen and ink in the work is used to describe the two-person world of you Jiaji, Meng Heping and Ruan Zhengdong, and more pen and ink is still the trivial world of the two. It is difficult for readers to read the deeper social background and the more difficult taste of life behind the two of them. From this point of view, "A good time is like a dream" is still at the level of writing about the dream of life, how to get out of the dream of life, go deep into the real life, and capture the situation of life in an approachable manner. this is an important issue faced by the author from a creative stage to a new creative stage.
