Xiao Hong – författare

Back in print - Market Street

Life in the city by the Hulan River may be a little boring, but under the pen of Xiao Hong, whether hanging up festoons, floating river lanterns, sorcerer's dance, Niangniang temple fair, plays, or wind, frost, rain and snow, morning glow and other natural phenomena are described to be "e;a narrative poem, a colorful endemic drawing and a string of sad songs"e; by Xiao Hong with fresh language.

Hulanjoen tarinat (1941) on Xiao Hongin viimeiseksi jäänyt teos. Sitä pidetään yleisesti hänen parhaimpanaan. Omaelämäkerrallisen romaanin keskiössä on varakkaan perheen tytär, joka elää suojattua mutta ikävystyttävää elämää ainoana ystävänään oma isoisänsä. Lukijan eteen piirtyy tarkkanäköinen kuvaus pienen koilliskiinalaisen kaupungin elämästä 1900-luvun alkupuolella. Teos esittelee elävästi aikansa omintakeisia, paikoin hullunkurisiakin perinteitä ja uskomuksia, mutta valottaa myös ihmiselon nurjia puolia, kuten köyhyyttä ja epäonnisia naiskohtaloita. Oman lisänsä tarinoihin tuovat värikkäät kyläläiset: vääräsuu Feng, setä You ja monet muut.
