In his book "The Ordinary World", Lu Yao praised the people of Henan. Why?

Henan people have many advantages worthy of praise! I believe that Lu Yao has dealt with people from Henan. The people from Henan have helped him a lot and left a deep impression on him!

So in "The Ordinary World", the first master of Shaoan Brick Factory was from Henan. He was conscientious, serious and responsible, and taught Shaoan many processes without reservation! Later, Shaoan once went to the city and had no place to rest, so he went to a blacksmith shop. The master blacksmith was also from Henan. He warmly entertained him and allowed him to rest!

In fact, Henan people have many excellent qualities of China:

First of all, they are low-key and simple! Second, bear hardships and stand hard work!

Third, be diligent and frugal! Fourth, be enthusiastic and generous!

Henan is relatively poor, so Henan people are relatively simple and hard-working! Because if you don’t work hard and endure hardships, you can’t make money. How can you support a family? Moreover, Henan is mostly based on agriculture, and facing the loess and turning your back to the sky is the hardest life. This kind of life allows Henan people to endure hardships and stand hard work, and can better understand the difficulty of life, so when others need help, Henan people will go there. Try your best to help, because if you experience the difficulties of life, you can understand the difficulties of others!

I have interacted with Henan people a lot, so I can understand how hard-working and hard-working Henan people are. The charm they exude may not be dazzling, but they can indeed leave their mark everywhere. The mark of strength!

Nowadays, there are a lot of black people in various regions. But I want to say that there are good people in every place, and there are also some bad people in every place. Remember not to generalize! We are all sons and daughters of China and must tolerate each other. Only when we are united can our country be strong and people everywhere can live and work in peace and contentment!

I believe you will see the generosity of the Northeastern people, the hard-working Sichuan people, the simplicity of the Shaanxi people, the progressiveness of the Zhejiang people, the courage of the Jiangxi people, the long-term vision of the Guangdong people, etc., everyone Each province has its own customs and customs. If you see more of the good sides, society will be more harmonious!

I have always felt that the people of Henan are great. Since ancient times, many heroes have come from the Central Plains. They endure hardships, are strong and unyielding, and are loyal and filial. But after the reform and opening up, why are Henan people looked down upon? It is true that there is a phenomenon of people from Henan being rejected in the south. This is really a historical misunderstanding. The year before last, I stayed in Zhengzhou Houzhai for a year. My colleagues in Henan were still very friendly and sincere, especially the young girls. My colleagues were very pure and traditional, just like people in the 1970s and 1980s, which shows that the tutoring is very traditional.

Here is Xiong Er’s history reading, let’s read the literature and history of Henan together. (This article is about 950 words and takes 3 minutes to read)

Although Lu Yao's "The Ordinary World" tells a story that took place on the Loess Plateau of Shaanxi, it also has a lot to do with Henan, its neighbor to the east. .

The protagonist in the novel has many interactions with people from Henan.

Among them, Sun Shaoan has the most relationship with Henan people. Not only does he often meet Henan people when he goes out, he also receives enthusiastic help from Henan people. He even bought his brick-making machine in Henan, and the bricks are baked in a brick factory with skilled technology. The master chef is also from Henan.

Lu Yao affirms and appreciates the large number of people in Henan. Through the mouth of the protagonist of the novel, he expressed his overall impression of the people in Henan:

Yes, simplicity and kindness are An important label for Henan people.

There are two close-up shots of Henan people in "The Ordinary World" that let us know the inseparable relationship between Shaanxi and Henan.

1. Sun Shaoan walked to Mijia Town at night.

When he had no place to settle and was in embarrassment, he saw a blacksmith shop on the roadside, and there was the sound of tinkling blacksmithing late at night, so he knocked on the door and went in to borrow a fire. After hearing the accent and finding out that the master of the blacksmith shop was from Henan, the author recalled that almost all the blacksmiths on the Loess Plateau were from Henan. Shaoan was deeply moved by the hard work of the Henan people.

2. Tongcheng is where Henan people live.

Tongcheng, located on the southern edge of the Ordos region, produces coal and brings immigrants from all over the country to the city, one-third of whom are from Henan.

Why are there so many Henan people in Shaanxi? Lu Yao also gave an explanation.

It was because of the man-made breach of the Yellow River in 1938 that caused a massive flood. After the disaster, people from Henan fled to Shaanxi along the Longhai Line. Therefore, most of the fleeers settled nearby on the Loess Plateau.

Henan people fleeing famine in Shaanxi in 1942

Lu Yao used vivid writing to depict the history and life scenes of Henan people in the hearts of Shaanxi people.

Shaanxi and Henan are adjacent to each other. Henan has a large population and has experienced frequent famines in modern times, so many people have gone out to seek survival.

Shaanxi is an important area for Henan people to flee disasters. In modern times, many Henan people have taken root on the Loess Plateau and are thriving. And these Henan people also brought the simplicity and diligence of the Central Plains to the Loess Plateau.

Objectively speaking, this group of people who have left their hometowns are just like countless Henan people working abroad now. They are enthusiastic, help each other, diligent and down-to-earth. Different living habits and customs have also caused many outsiders to criticize Henan people. However, it is undeniable that the vast majority of Henan people, as Lu Yao wrote, are open-minded, hard-working and simple.

This has many similarities with the character of the Shaanxi people who grew up on the Loess Plateau. They are both simple and hardworking. Therefore, people from Shaanxi can best relate to the people from Henan who have moved here.

For some time, people across the country have criticized us Henan people. The reason why Lu Yao praised Henan people so much shows that Lu Yao knows Henan people very well, and it also illustrates a writer's rigorous, realistic and meticulous creative style from another aspect! In the ordinary world, Shaoan plowed cattle to save the people of the production team He put his cotton-padded jacket on the cattle and was shivering in the middle of the night. He stayed in the house of a Henan man who worked for blacksmiths. Shaoping met his master's lover in the coal mine. In addition to caring about Shaoping, he also cooked soup and medicine when Shaoping had a cold and took care of him in every possible way. Ping! In fact, real Henan people are all warm-hearted and helpful people!

The living standards of Henan people in Shaanxi are generally higher than those of local Shaanxi people. There are two reasons. In those days, most people who fled famine came here by train. The destinations are all central cities along the railway lines. There are almost no ones in remote mountainous areas. They can just set up a shed on the edge of the city and settle down. It is easy to find work along the railway lines and survival is relatively easy. These Henan refugees mostly work in railways and factories and mining enterprises. After liberation, they naturally became citizens and the working class. After decades of urban changes, the original shantytowns have long been transformed into high-rise buildings, and the city walls where they lived have become prosperous areas. The descendants of these refugees have also become wealthy people. The second reason for the demolished households is that Henan is located in the Central Plains, where natural and man-made disasters are constant. The harsh living environment has created the character of Henan people who are not afraid of heaven or earth, who dare to venture and do anything, and who do whatever it takes to survive. Moreover, Henan people do not hesitate to go out when they are away. Forgetting their homeland, they especially stick together. The Henan immigrants in Shaanxi are already the fourth or fifth generation. They still have the same local accent and speak the standard Henan accent. Their living customs are incompatible with the locals in Shaanxi. The most obvious example is celebrating weddings and weddings. Those who invited the Henan Yu Opera Troupe must be immigrants from Henan, while the Shaanxi natives invited the Shaanxi Opera Troupe.

In fact, I quite like people from Henan. They are men from the Central Plains and have an upright personality. I have a few friends who are from Henan. I don’t feel anything bad about getting along with them. On the contrary, Suzhou is a bit strange. Some people are from Henan. People don’t like people from Henan, especially some factories, and they dare not recruit people from Henan. Why? Because Henan people stick together, bully one, and walk away, the boss really can't afford to hurt!

Mr. Lu Yao's main material basis for writing "The Ordinary World" is some of his own life experiences. He has worked in a coal mine and lived there, so he has a special understanding of coal mines and the life there. Emotions, the Tongcheng mentioned in the play is now Tongchuan City. Tongchuan City is often called the second hometown of Henan people... Personal opinion, if you like it, give it a thumbs up!

Henan and Shaanxi have many close ties in history. Especially in modern times, when the Yellow River flooded, a large part of the Henan people in the Yellow River flood area fled to Xi'an, Baoji, Xianyang, Weinan, and Tongchuan in Shaanxi. There has always been a saying in places such as "Shandong people fled famine to the Northeast, and Henan people fled famine to Shaanxi." The movie "1942" and the novel "The General's Song" all tell the story of Henan people fleeing famine and going to Shaanxi after going through hardships. The Henan people who survived have survived and multiplied, and now they have become authentic Shaanxi people. Returning to Lu Yao's novel, he described the hard work and tenacity of the Henan people, excluding the geographical differences, and it was an objective account. The quality of their labor is not unknown to me. There are many Henan people around me, who are also very good. Lu Yao may have dealt with Henan people (in Shaanxi) in Tongchuan and has a better understanding of their lives and experiences. I cannot Speaking of praise, it can only be said to be a literary narrative.

Shaanxi and Henan have very deep historical roots. The establishment of the Western Zhou Dynasty is inseparable from Jiang Ziya. The demise of the Zhou Dynasty was due to Lu Buwei, the founder of the Qin Dynasty. It was Baili Xi, Shang Yang, Lu Buwei, Li Si and many other Central Plains people who destroyed Qin. Were they also Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, Zhang Liang, Chen Ping and other Central Plains people? Thanks to Yao Chong, Wei Chu and others.
