《活着》这篇小说的创作灵感是来源于一首美国民歌《老黑奴》，歌中的那位老黑奴经历了一生的磨难，他的家人都先后离他而去，而他却依然友好地对待这个世界，没有一句抱怨的话。这首歌深深地打动了余华。

《活着》写出了一个饱经折磨，历经坎坷的人生。故事里的主人公福贵，就是这样的一个形象，他从青年到中年再到老年，经历了一系列的折磨，才成就他的晚年生活，一个对人、对事都已经看淡了的人，这样的人究竟经历过什么，才能炼出如此的人生态度呢？
When hero Fu Guinian is little, it is one loves gambler. A day of blessing is expensive go gambling, spent for a long time, domestic precious still does not see he comes back, holding out the abdomen with 8 big months to look for him, when finding him, to do not make blessing expensive money gamble away, she persuades him, said to be not betted again etc a series of if, but blessing is expensive not only did not listen go in, return kick she one foot.

主人公福贵年少时，是一个爱赌博的人。一天福贵去赌博，过了许久，家珍还不见他回来，就挺着八个月大的肚子去找他，找到他时，为了不让福贵把钱都赌光，她就去劝他，说不要再赌了等一系列的话，可是福贵不但没有听进去，还踹了她一脚。当时，周围还有很多人，可是却没有一个人来站出来阻止福贵的这种恶劣的行为，反而是任由福贵对他的妻子这样做。由此，我们可以得知当时的社会，人心的复杂及丑陋。
Later, blessing is expensive a because of the word that did not hear a precious whole family property be defeated by light, because of this thing his father is enraged to give disease, final father die in one's bed. Because of father leave, blessing is expensive also matured than ever, he is being taken mother and wife went village of a hill lives.

Can spend a few months, domestic precious is taking the son that just was born to have celebrate “ to escape ” came back, with respect to such their families be able to the circle gets together.
之后，福贵因为没听家珍的话而把整个家业都输光了，因为这事他的父亲被气出病了，最后父亲病死了。因为父亲的离去，福贵也比平常成熟了，他带着母亲和妻儿去到了一个小山村生活。因为家珍的父亲当初是看福贵家里有些权势，才把女儿嫁给了他，现在他们家已衰落，可就不能让他们带着家珍受苦了，家珍就被迫回了娘家。可过了几个月，家珍带着刚出生的儿子有庆“逃”回来了，就这样他们一家人得以圆聚。
But composition from this later, the advent with real also suffering. It is domestic mother falls ill first, blessing is expensive be caught, passed a few Nian Fugui escaped, and at this moment, feng Xia becomes a deaf-mute because of attack of fever however. After a few months, blessing expensive mother is to did not keep out the torment of the disease to die eventually.

But God wants a blessing it seems that expensive be ruthless, bitter root had a fever, blessing is expensive it is good to wait for his disease did a lot of delicious, but nobody can think of bitter root was died by choke, evermore has Fu Guiyi's individual to stay on this world only.
但作文从这之后，磨难也就真正的来临了。先是家母生病，福贵被抓，过了几年福贵逃了出来，而这时，凤霞却因发高烧变成聋哑人。几个月后，福贵母亲终是抵挡不住疾病的折磨去世了。有庆上了五年级，发了善心去帮人输血，却因输血过多而逝世。之后，家珍的身体便是一日不如一日，当凤霞嫁了好人家，家珍的病情才有点好转，但终究是好景不长，凤霞在生孩子的时候因失血过多去世了，听到女儿去世的消息家珍的病情加重了，最终也是因病去世了。此后，就只有孙子苦根、女婿二喜和福贵一起相依为命。突然有一天二喜在工地上干活被水泥板砸中，就这样又一个鲜活的生命离开了人世。但上天似乎要把福贵赶尽杀绝，苦根发烧了，福贵等他病好做了很多好吃的，可是没人能想到苦根被噎死了，从此以后只有福贵一个人留在这世上。
The title is " living " , the miserable destiny of each person is being told all the time however in proviso, this can'ts help letting a person feel contradictory, but see the name of each character of this book again conversely, it is the love of person of before was being placed one generation to them, like blessing precious of expensive, home, Feng Xia, have celebrate etc, can see destiny and happiness clearly placing do not become direct ratio.
书名是《活着》，但书中却一直都在讲每一个人的悲惨命运，这不禁让人觉得矛盾，可是反过来再看这本书的每一个人物的名字，都是寄托了前一辈人对他们的爱，如福贵、家珍、凤霞、有庆等，可以清楚地看到命运与美好的寄托是不成正比的。
Meaning of “ living ” has the person of life to want to do, can be the person in this book, besides blessing expensive, neither one person is not to follow “ living ” is contrary, can see from here, riches and honour is lucky. Blessing is expensive recumbent and powerful psychokinesis is in family below the circumstance that each leaves, still can firm stay between the world, this is “ living ” , but, by from him rich home children arrives out at the elbows, look to the process that the family broke up again, he is unfortunate. Living be not easy really!
“活着”意为要做一个有生命的人，可是这本书里的人，除了福贵，没有一个人不是跟“活着”相反的，从这里可以看出，富贵是幸运的。福贵靠着强大的意志力在家人都一个个离去的情况下，还能坚强的留在人世间，这就是“活着”，但是，从他由一个富家子弟到穷困潦倒，再到家破人亡的过程看，他又是不幸的。活着真是不容易啊！(文/张子晨)
