Wang Zengqi. This ** is in line with his usual **style**. In his own words, his teacher, Shen Congwen.
When teaching composition, one of the most reiterated phrases is "write with the characters in mind." Wang Zengqi himself explained this sentence, you must think from the standpoint of the character, see what the character sees, think of what the character thinks, and it must conform to the character's identity, personality, etc.
The protagonist of this ** article is an old man who picks up rotten paper, such old people can be seen everywhere in our lives, but how many people have poured their attention? This is Wang Zengqi's attitude towards the working people at the bottom, he does not despise them, he sees their noble humanity under their humble professions. That's self-esteem, even ideals.
We don't know what this old man went through, and he certainly wasn't born to pick up scrap paper. The vicissitudes of life made him have to pick up scrap paper for a living, but this did not smooth out his edges and corners. He still has a hard energy in him.
Not afraid of opponents, shouting with young people, nibbling hard baked cakes and so on. This is the shining point in him. In fact, this point is with Yang Jiang.
The "Lao Wang" written by him has the same effect.
What did he save all this money for? The answer to this question doesn't really matter. We know that he worked hard and saved this money, and he must have had his own use, and he did not "eat it all and be healthy".
He also embodies the characteristics of traditional working people, who are reluctant to spend money, like to save money, and so on.
The theme of this article can be summed up as the light of the people at the bottom.

I have read Wang Zengqi's "The Old Man Who Picks Up Rotten Paper" many times, with a strong market atmosphere and deep humanistic care. So I can't help but always feel that I want to be a warm person and live in an era with temperature.
Re-reading, figuring out the complexity of the first two paragraphs and the simplicity of the last two paragraphs, I lamented that I had never read the works of Wang Zengqi's other writers, and I couldn't understand what he liked about the writer.
The protagonist is an old man who picks up scrap paper, and the first paragraph of the opening paragraph describes a lot of pen and ink about the restaurant he frequents. From the origin and nature of the restaurant to the dishes that are open all year round.
The second paragraph is better than the first. The customer's introduction is extremely detailed. From identity, eating preferences to dining habits. From regular customers to itinerant guests.
As the jargon should say, this is to pave the way for the protagonist to appear. The old man was a regular at the restaurant.
From this point of view, this article is really a good model for appreciation.
The third paragraph is similar to the first paragraph, mainly describing the old man: clothing, appearance, demeanor, identity, daily eating habits, and iconic words.
The fourth paragraph tells the conflict between the old man and the diner as a bystander.
It's going to fight", "Fight? Such a bad old man? "Whichever one goes, you can beat him down with a punch", the surprise, suspicion, and contempt between the lines jumped on the page.
An ordinary and humble life, without any sense of existence without bad reputation.
Wang Zengqi used "no one pays attention to him" four times in a row, whether it was when he seemed to talk to himself during dinner, or he wanted to fight alone with the boys.
No one cares about him, the mood of an old man who picks up scrap paper, or his thoughts.
In the end, he died, and more than 8,000 yuan was found under the broken mat, "what did he save all this money for", no one knows, how he saved such a huge amount of money, and no one knows.
May there always be someone in this world who will give you warmth....
