A comparison between Jitouzhai in Han Shaogong's Parents and Magondeau in One Hundred Years of Solitude?

In Daddy Daddy, Jitouzhai is a village without specific geographical coordinates, and its historical change from scratch is very similar to the fate of Magondeau in One Hundred Years of Solitude.

Jitouzhai people, living in the depths of the mountains and above the white clouds, remember their history by singing "Jane", that is, singing an old song: they are descendants of five wives and six ancestors. Due to the increasing population and the shortage of living materials, they moved from the East China Sea to the West Mountain by maple boat and nanmu boat under the guidance of Phoenix, and passed through Jinshui River and Yinshui River to Daomi River, where they settled and reproduced. Their migration is so poetic that it feels like a romantic trip, but a historian who has been to Qianjiaping said that what Jitouzhai people sang was not true at all. Their ancestors lived in Yunmengze area, and because of the persecution of war, they fled southwest along the five streams into the barbarian mountainous areas. Jitouzhai people survived the elutriation of time, but their inertia stopped the whole village. When they encounter things, they will only solve them in the primitive and barbaric way handed down by their ancestors. As a result, history entered a cycle, they continued to live like this, and history began an endless cycle. For example, "Jitouzhai" doesn't grow well. The villagers believed the wizard's words and thought that the chicken essence was at work. It was the Jitou Peak in Jigongling opposite the village that rushed to the two ridges in the stockade and ate all the millet in the stockade. Therefore, the people of Jitouzhai want to smash the machine and throw it at the peak of Zhaizhai, while the people of Jitouzhai, who are equally ignorant, think that their stockade is fertile, that is, relying on the chicken's ass to shit. The two sides will not give in to each other and can only "fight against injustice." The people in Jitouzhai cut off the cow's head to predict the outcome. After the cow was beheaded, it fell forward as the villagers wished. The signs of victory cheered people up. However, after repeated defeats and wars, everyone began to rethink, taking the words "dad" and "mom X" said by idiot C who will never grow up as two hexagrams of yin and yang. After eating zongzi and rake, C said "Dad" and the men cheered again. The "grievance" began again, but the people in Jitouzhai hosted a banquet for Jiweizhai. Finally, the two sides made up their minds to swear by the knife and not complain about each other. Savage fighting cost the lives of people in two villages, but the problem of adulthood has not been solved. When livelihood became an urgent problem in the whole village, people in Jitouzhai had to poison the old, the weak and the sick, which was a cruel way that ancestors had done to continue the race. Young men and women in white cloth bowed in front of the new grave, grabbed an earth bag and stuffed it into their skirts. They began to sing "Jane" and began to migrate. Over the mountains, Jitouzhai disappeared, just like "Magondeau" disappeared in the wind.

In One Hundred Years of Solitude, Magondeau is the epitome of Colombian and Latin America. Before the arrival of Jose Buendia, "Magondeau" was a swamp and wasteland without people. Fugitives have gone through hardships and trekked long distances to build a remote, backward, lonely and ignorant Magondeau here. A few years later, Magondeau prospered and became a town, and foreigners began to move in. Trains bring external civilization. The United Fruit Company of the United States opened a banana garden in rural Colombia, the American manager who took a bus came to Magondeau, and Magondeau was turned upside down ... These historical changes in Magondeau truly showed the reappearance of Colombian and Latin American immigrants, partisan struggles, independent revolution, colonial invasion, massacre and capitalist infiltration, as well as the concentration of Latin American national destiny. Therefore, One Hundred Years of Solitude reveals and criticizes the cruelty of reactionary dictatorships at home and abroad and the political oppression and economic plunder of Latin American nations by American invaders through the changes of Magondeau and the experience of the Buntia family, which indicates that Latin American people will bid farewell to ignorance and loneliness and move towards awakening and civilization.

Han Shaogong said: "Dad and Dad focus on social history, which is a perspective of racial decline under the background of witch and Chu culture. Both rationality and irrationality have become absurd, and neither the new party nor the old party can save the world. "

Therefore, Magondeau in One Hundred Years of Solitude is a typical place to interpret the history of the rise and fall of the Buendia family, and Jitouzhai in Daddy Daddy describes "the decline of a race", thus deeply reflecting on the people and their cultural history.

Both "Jitouzhai" and "Magondeau" tell us that if we don't remove the national inertia that hinders the progress of history, then history will go on relentlessly and endlessly. Jitouzhai disappeared forever, and this ending cannot be repeated.
