He loved his cousin deeply, but accepted Miss Li Ruijue, who was chosen by his father by lottery, and got engaged and married like a puppet. One month after my marriage, I went to work in Xishu Industrial Company, and my father was a director. I completely gave up my ideal. A year later, his father died, and Chueh-hsin took on the burden of the family.
The intrigue between the whole family disgusted him. He must be careful to avoid conflict with them. Fortunately, her new wife Jui-chueh is beautiful and kind, which gives him a lot of comfort. The birth of their son Haier made Chueh-hsin even happier, and he was determined to put his legacy on his son to realize it.
Two years later, the May 4th Movement broke out, and new ideas awakened his long-lost youth. But he is still not as progressive as his two younger brothers, and he is often ridiculed by them as "bowing his head" and "no rebel".
Extended data:
First, the process of writing a book
According to Ba Jin's self-report, what he wants to write should be the history of ordinary feudal families, and this is the motivation for him to write about his family.
Home was also written by Ba Jin with the encouragement of his brother Li Yaomei. 1July, 929, Li Yaomei came to Shanghai from Sichuan to visit Ba Jin and talked about various things at home. He was angry and distressed.
Ba Jin asked him to write a novel reflecting the life of a big family and the unfortunate experiences of young men and women at home. Eldest brother expressed his support and then wrote an encouraging letter: "I agree if you want to write, and I like it very much." I bow to you now. "
This greatly encouraged Ba Jin to write "Home", lived up to the ardent expectation of "loving me the most in this life and loving me the most", and liberated his eldest brother from the heavy feudal shackles as soon as possible. "After reading my novel, I may realize that I may resolutely embark on a new path."
Second, the main character profile
1, Chueh-hui
Young student representatives under the influence of the May 4th new ideological trend. The feudal family was a "naive and bold traitor" and the younger brother of Chueh-hsin and Chueh-min. Participated in specific anti-feudal and anti-authoritarian struggles, including bravely participating in the struggle against feudal warlords and resolutely opposing "bowing down" and "not resisting".
He despised hierarchy, fell in love with maid Ming-feng, opposed arranged marriage, supported Chueh-min's marriage, boldly exposed superstition and heresy such as ghost hunting and mass annihilation, and finally fled the feudal family without hesitation.
2. Mr Gao
Representative of feudal parents, grandfather of Chueh-hsin, Chueh-min and Chueh-hui. The autocratic management of the big family by feudal ethics brought all kinds of misfortunes to the younger generation and the servants and maids at the lower level, but eventually it went to extinction in the rebellion of Ke 'an and Ding Ke, Chueh-min and Chueh-hui.
3. Juexin
Chueh-min, the eldest son of Gao's family, and Chueh-hui's eldest brother are "dual personalities" who have long been educated by the feudal system of ethics and persecution, but are eager for a happy life. He sympathizes with the new trend of thought and laughs at himself, but is dissatisfied with the old ethics and pursues "bowism", which has complex and rich personality connotation.
