People seem to be free in the city, and if they want to go deeper, men need to earn money to support their families, women need to teach their husbands and calligraphy, and children need to listen to teaching and obedience. They should do their part and play the roles given by society. Zhang works, day after day, regardless of the seasons, weather changes, mood ups and downs to maintain the operating parts of the factory. Humans are subtle creatures with mood swings. To live a ruthless, well-planned Puritan life in such a way that they are tasteless and selfless, people who have lived to this point are like walking dead without shocks.
The cold picture is concentrated on the palms of all working classes, they work repeatedly according to the rules and regulations of the employee code, the soft texture touches all kinds of things, people and objects have a close habitual relationship, they are reluctant to leave, and they prefer to keep their heads down Hanging, staring at the program that cannot make mistakes, the number of printed numbers cannot be biased, the eyes will no longer be in contact with consumers, the relationship between people is indifferent due to the deepening of the division of labor system, employees save the greetings and talk, or do It's a good job, faithfully quoted the price, packaged the goods properly, and redeemed them correctly means completing a procedure, a single transaction.
I miss the office (commonly known as the store) next to the road in the housing estate when I was a child. The owner of the shop didn’t wear brightly colored staff uniforms, and there was no cash register at the counter. The owner will chat with me about the major events of the South and the North world, and at the same time retrieve the change for me. I can't hear the cold single tone of the electronic keys, and I have never made a mistake. Although the area is small, the product category is not comparable to that of a huge supermarket. His caring, familiar tone, and the warmth of the neighbors are the model of a large group that appeals to me even more. The decades-old friendship between the customer and the clerk is gone forever, leaving an urban glacier with no greetings and lack of communication.
What about the family members of blood in-laws? The bedside alarm clock must go off at 6 o'clock every morning, red slippers are neatly placed on the floor, three water glasses are evenly placed in the bathroom, and three toothbrushes of different colors are placed in it, showing that the family is clear Location and role in the family, however, the color is persistent, the location does not change, when life is also monotonous, the invisible pressure teaches family members to be reluctant to talk at mealtime, uniform chewing is a rigid system of compromise, couples Dunlon is also a missionary style, and the time will definitely not exceed six o'clock on the clock board; after all, the daughter has not yet suffered from adults who only want to be smooth and transition, and do not want to spend time breaking through the existing deadlock; the little girl can't stand the uniform atmosphere of dead silence , so she asked her mother if she could turn on the light to sleep? Pretending to be blind is her subconscious rebellion against the cold, snow-like adult world.
Hammers, chainsaws, pliers and other utensils are the accomplices in destroying a harmonious family. The thoroughly ravaged home is covered with sawdust and glass fragments; the fish raised up and down the floor full of debris, I think this is a picture. A beautiful abstract portrait: the middle-class family has no reservations about venting the dull system; the close-up of various species of fish carcasses is a metaphor: the creatures trapped in the fish tank are free during their lifetime, and can move within a given range. Suffering from the destruction of the fixed pattern, death is the inevitable result, and it is also the inevitable and doomed way for the family to challenge the huge system.
The brush brushed away the dust and sand, the family members in the carriage sighed with emotion, the sludge was cleared away, and the hope of immigrating to Australia, is it another glacier polar region that is waiting to die?
