Xu Sanguan Selling Blood is a novel by contemporary Chinese writer Yu Hua, first published in Harvest, No. 6, 1995.
Xu Sanguan Selling Blood tells a touching story of mixed joy and sorrow. Xu Sanguan survived the difficulties of his life by selling blood and overcame the storms imposed on him by fate. However, when he got old and realized that no one wanted his blood anymore, he suffered a mental breakdown. The ordinary people in the novel struggle in the ups and downs of the times, using their weak arms to constantly beat the turbulent waves and look at the vague future. However, their suffering and sadness are clearly visible. The tragedy and comedy of an ordinary family appear ridiculous and pitiful under Yu Hua's delicate brushstrokes. In the satirical and humorous writing, we can also see the helplessness of the characters in finding joy in suffering, as well as the gap between reality and ideal that can never be bridged.
《许三观卖血记》是中国当代作家余华创作的长篇小说,首次发表于《收获》1995年第6期。 [1]
《许三观卖血记》中讲述了一个悲喜交加的感人故事。许三观靠着卖血渡过了人生的一个个难关,战胜了命运强加给他的惊涛骇浪,而当他老了,知道自己的血再也没有人要时,精神却崩溃了。小说中平凡的小人物挣扎于浮沉的时代,用他们并不厚实的臂膀不断拍打出激荡的浪花,观望着模糊的前路,而其间的苦难与悲情却又清晰可见,平凡之家的悲剧喜剧在余华细腻的笔触下显得可笑而又可怜。在讽刺幽默的行文之间又可看出人物苦中作乐的无奈,以及现实与理想之间永远也无法抹平的鸿沟。
