Man Zhen's younger sister, Man Lu, left her first love Yu Jin at the age of seventeen to take care of her seven children, but the family couldn't really understand Man Lu and thought she had lost face. Now that Manlu is old, she has decided to marry a reliable person for the rest of her life. This man is Zhu.
Since then, maintaining the birthright of "Mrs. Zhu" has become her most important pillar of life. Soon, Manlu died, went back to take care of her son, and finally married Zhu. ?

The expression of Half-Life;
In Half-Life, the author consciously or unconsciously reveals naturalism in her characters. First of all, the author hints at the fate of the characters through their images and the colors of their clothes. In the choice of image, Zhang Ailing used the image of "house". The house was originally the place where people lived, but in another sense, it was also the place where people were imprisoned and the grave where people were buried.
The house where Manlu lives is a villa in a remote suburb. Although the house is gorgeous, it doesn't smell like home. Later, after being raped by Zhu, she was locked in two empty rooms, one locked in and the other locked out, leading a dark life. The house is like a cage, implying the tragic fate of the two sisters.
At the same time, Zhang Ailing is good at using colors, especially the clothing colors of her characters. The costume color of the characters has become the author's unique invisible discourse. She depicts the characters in an invisible discourse, implying the development of the plot and the fate of the characters. ?
The structure of half-life fate;
Zhang Ailing's Half-Life Destiny is strikingly similar to Mr. Pu Han in the basic framework and character setting, in which Shi Jun corresponds to Henry, to Bill, and to Kai to Cui Zhi. Shanghai and Nanjing are twin cities, similar to Boston and new york.
What is even more incredible is that, according to relevant research, many classic details and sentences in Half-Life were also moved from Mr. Pu Han. For example, Shi Jun always smells gas at his home and Cui Zhi's, and Cui Zhi always asks Shi Jun to walk the dog. Another example is "Shi Jun, we can't go back" and "Shi Jun".
Such misappropriation with naked fire has cleverly fooled the eyes and ears of many researchers Zhang for so many years, and with a little touch, it has confidently achieved a classic. Zhang Ailing really has a pair of magicians. This fact suddenly made many die-hard fans unacceptable. In their view, the suspicion of copying other people's works must not be added to Zhang Ailing.
But in fact, as the saying goes, all articles in the world are copied in large quantities, depending on whether you can copy them. Call it a reference if you get it right. In this sense, Zhang Ailing is a writer who is good at stealing art. ?
