莫言蛙读后感(英文版)

Frogs Moyan was the first Chinese to win NobelPrize for literature. Frogs, one of his most famous work, was based on the life experience of Gugu (which means aunt in Chinese), who has devoted herself as a gynecologist for over 50 years.

With vivid details and reflection, the book shows the up and downs of New China’s specific fertility history in the past 60 years, and exposes the chaotic phenomenon on fertility in China at the moment. It tells of the difficulties and complexity the country faced during the process of the implementation of the national family planning policy in order to control the sharp growth of population.

The heroine of the novel was called Gugu. She lived in a complicated era, when the food was extremely scarce. The narrator of the novel, Wan Xiaopao, had once eaten coal because of the unbearable starvation. People in a great portion of countryside in China still used a backward way to deliver a child, leading to the high mortality of pregnant woman. After graduating from hygiene school, Gugu persuaded the villagers to accept the new way to deliver a child by using her excellent skills. Those old midwives only cared about their personal gain rather than saving the lives of pregnant women. Gugu was very indignant about it. She blamed those old midwives for their irresponsible behaviors. Then we can see that Gugu was really fearless and

straightforward.

In 1965, she was assigned to community hospital as a gynecologist. She became the leader and executor of one-child policy. No sooner than Gugu started spreading the policy, villagers repelled her violently and blamed her with dirty words. They believed baby was their only hope andand “the more children, the better” is a rigid belief at that time. However, All these obstacles did not stop Gugu’s certain steps to lower the birth rates. By using fierce measures, many villagers did vasectomy unwillingly. Investigating the socialist enemies was a tough thing, for it would make Gugu a hated enemy to villagers.

Gen Xiulian, a woman who had already had two children, was going to have a third baby. When Gugu came to her house, she used every method to beg Gugu, but Gugu insisted in taking her to perform operation, without any mercy. Being driven into a corner, Gen Xiulian jumped into the river. Everyone on the spot was shocked, for it happened in a flash. Gugu immediately jumped onto a boat, yelling loudly to ask someone to help her drive the boat. Gen Xiulian was found under a peel of watermelon. Gugu burst into laughter, because Gen Xiulian used the way that was used to deal with Japanese. Gugu did not catch her at once. She followed her slowly, using loud-speaker to broadcast the instruction of one-child policy. Gugu standing on the board spoke loudly to Gen Xiulian: “There is no way for you but go with us. Even though you can

swim to East Sea, we will still follow you. ”All of a sudden, Gen Xiulian cried out. Her actions became more and more slowly, and her arms couldn’t help her go forward. Gugu was greeted by a smell of blood. Ultimately, Gugu used everything to save Gen Xiulian’s life but it was too late.

At the night before Gugu’s retirement, her colleagues gave her a feast in a restaurant. She was drunk. On the way home, she walked into a pool of mud, where frogs were brawling loudly. Noise came from all directions. Like a raging river, the noise took the whole occupation of wide farmland. It sound like babies’ crying. Gugu felt a gust of cold wind climbed onto her shoulder. A bad feeling struck her,so she escaped quickly. Although it seems like Gugu’s imagination, it revealed the real inside world of Gugu.

After the first time reading, a complex feeling rose from the bottom of my heart. I couldn’t figure out what it really was.It confused me ,so I decided to read it again. During the second time reading, I paid my attention to the details in the story, such as Gugu’s actions, feelings and words. I imagined I was on the spot, and I tried to understand their feelings hiden in the words. Gradully, I knew what I felt at the first time. They were happiness for the baby birth, anger to the policy, pity for the abortion, sadness for the past of our country, and a sense of responsibility for the future.

I realized Gugu was a tragedy person. She was torn between the desire to accomplish the tasks from party and country, and the desire to save children. She delivered over ten thousand babies. Her hand was sacred but also full of blood at the same time.

Using the literary device of ridicule and sarcasm, Mo Yan criticizes the distorted history as well as deprivation and political hypocrisy. He reveals the murkiest side of human existence. He shows us a world without truth, common sense or compassion, a world where people are reckless, helpless and absurd. Mo Yan defends small individuals like Gugu against all injustices. Thanks him for telling us the history we may never know. Only we realized the pain that our nation went through, we can keep moving on and avoid those things happening again.

 

第二篇:读莫言有感

读莫言有感

葛丽娜

说实话,在莫言得诺贝尔文学奖之前,还真没有正儿八经的读过莫言的书。

只是觉得他的笔名起得真好,身为作家,起名莫言,有一种哲理味。

只知道《红高粱》是他的小说改编的,另外有印象的是读大学的时候他的《丰乳肥臀》很流行,但是因为这个书名所以也没有阅读的欲望。

当媒体铺天盖地的报道莫言得诺贝尔文学奖的第二天,按捺不住,中午午休和小林一起,直奔中山路的《新华书店》,心理也预料应该脱销了,但还是想去看看盛况。

运气还不是一般的好,买到了莫言的最后一本书,静静的躺在一排中国文学著作里,书名叫《与大师约会》。虽然不是《蛙》,是个短片小说集,但也如获至宝,而且这个书名也很贴近我此刻的心情。

挑选看了一个获奖短篇小说《月光斩》,里面的故事很怪异,情节很神奇,结构很独特,文字很精练。真正感受到了一种魔幻现实主义的色彩。就是觉得小说很怪异,又很深刻,可以很多维度的去解读,但是又说不出该去如果理解,感觉就像看见一副梵高的画,知道这个画画得很好,也表现

了很深刻的意义,但是又说不出所有然。不同的经历的人,不同阅历的人估计会有不同的感受,或者这个就是大师的功力吧。后来看了几篇《月光斩》的书评,觉得书评也写的真好,真是不同的人有不同的感受。

买不到他的书,单位的小菜把她的存书《檀香刑》拿来给我看。《檀香刑》里莫言的自序就把我镇住了,感觉好有气势和自信,真不是一般的好。小说分凤头、猪肚和豹尾,就像看一出一出的戏一样,把赵甲,孙丙,钱丁,孙眉娘等人的形象刻画的栩栩如生。说实话,看前面几章的时候,觉得莫言的文字还真是很俗,而且很啰嗦,但是看到后来越来越感受他文字的炉火纯青。我就觉得奇怪,同样的人为什么他的脑子里能有那么丰富的语言素材,为什么他的描述的人的情感能这么的真实,能让读者体验到那么复杂的感受。看完后好几天,那个猫腔调还是隐约在耳边回荡。

这几天,看完了《蛙》,说实话,对这本书的期待超过任何一本书。一个原因是诺贝尔文学奖的作品,另一个原因也是因为自己是共和国的第一代独生子女,而《蛙》就是以计划生育为题材的,据介绍主人公是一个接生过10000个孩子同时也是断送过几千个胎儿的妇科医生。我不知道莫言会以一种什么样的价值观来对待计划生育,从政党鼓励多生多育到实行计划生育,是深刻的批判,是对制度的控诉,还是客观的描述,到底他要表达什么?让我很好奇。我觉得这个

题材在中国目前还在实施计划生育的政策前提下,特别他作为军旅作家,其实是很难写的,如果批判估计也不行,弄不好要封杀;如果歌功颂德,那估计在国际社会的所谓人权制度下应该也得不了奖。 所以真的很期待,真的很期待........

终于看完了《蛙》,最深的感受就是书中的历史感和现实感。觉得人其实真的就是历史长河中的一个浪花而已 ,但是人的一生又很漫长,经历30年河东30年河西。《蛙》的时间线拉的很长,从3年自然灾害,到鼓励生育,到计划生育,到现在的“二奶”“三奶”超生,都是活脱脱的社会现象,都是真实的存在。觉得《蛙》没有想象中的是恢宏大气的巨著,但是很平实,真实的让人觉得不是小说而是现实,觉得这些人物虽然都有很好笑好玩的以身体器官命名的名字,但是却是存在在身边的有血有肉,平常朴实的人物。

最近白天上班用电脑,晚上灯下看小说,眼睛有点累了,让她休息一阵子。
