Snow Flower and the Secret Fan pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Lily is haunted by memories-of who she once was, and of a person, long gone, who defined her existence. She has nothing but time now, as she recounts the tale of Snow Flower, and asks the gods for forgiveness. In nineteenth-century China, when wives and daughters were foot-bound and lived in almost total seclusion, the women in one remote Hunan county developed their own secret code for communication: nu shu ("women's writing"). Some girls were paired with laotongs, "old sames, " in emotional matches that lasted throughout their lives. They painted letters on fans, embroidered messages on handkerchiefs, and composed stories, thereby reaching out of their isolation to share their hopes, dreams, and accomplishments. With the arrival of a silk fan on which Snow Flower has composed for Lily a poem of introduction in nu shu, their friendship is sealed and they become "old sames" at the tender age of seven. As the years pass, through famine and rebellion, they reflect upon their arranged marriages, loneliness, and the joys and tragedies of motherhood. The two find solace, developing a bond that keeps their spirits alive. But when a misunderstanding arises, their lifelong friendship suddenly threatens to tear apart. Snow Flower and the Secret Fan is a brilliantly realistic journey back to an era of Chinese history that is as deeply moving as it is sorrowful. With the period detail and deep resonance of Memoirs of a Geisha, this lyrical and emotionally charged novel delves into one of the most mysterious of human relationships: female friendship.
受人所托读的 还不错 发人深省
评分补记
评分以前对于中国古代女性受歧视只是略略知道些,这么详尽的描述还是着实让我震撼了一下。 读着这本小书,仿佛在听着那个老太太的自白。悔恨怎样都是无济于事。怎么样能跳出自我的狭小来反省自己,才不致如此不堪的往事。想起那句话,生活里没有好人与坏人,有的是做坏事的人和做好事的人。谨记。
评分煽了一手好情,裹脚那段看得好揪心
评分没有想象中的那么精彩~
许多读者对于这本书的诟病不外于抱怨作者身为外国人拿中国元素当噱头,甚至口口声声指责作者丑化中国。 但是我却要感谢这本书,感谢作者展示了丰富的历史细节,感谢她让我从细微之处看清一个旧时代的中国。 镜花缘里有一段秀才林之洋的女儿国奇遇,在那个国家女人处理男人事...
评分我幻想世界上的另一个我,我们在同一天出生,有着相同的身体,同样白皙的皮肤,我温柔娴静,她聪慧活泼。然后有一天我们相遇了,第一眼就认出那便是自己在找的另一个我,然后立下契约,永远真诚相待,永远不恶语相向,像两条小溪汇聚到一起,像盛开在荷塘的并蒂莲,直到死都不...

评分Both Lily and Snow Flower were as distorted as their small feet. Born as women, they both were hurt by the foot-binding and other women's traditions of the inner realm -- variations of the same story. Just like Snow Flower, who needed her lies and pride to ...
