Lu's ending is hidden in White Deer Plain. What is the reason?
Chen quoted Balzac, a great literary master, on the title page of the novel White Deer Plain: "Novel is a secret history of a nation". In order to write the novel White Deer Plain, Chen spent two or three years consulting historical materials and collecting living materials to show the historical changes of White Deer Plain as comprehensively and truly as possible.

As far as possible, the novel avoids the stereotype of "Facebook", and the portrayal of Lu also shows the multifaceted nature of human nature. For the revolutionary cause, Lu was resolute and made great contributions to the revolutionary cause. At the same time, however, he gave in to his family. Faced with the wedding arranged by his father Lu Zilin, he was unable to resist and was forced to marry Leng, which was a tragic life. Bai Ling's love for his younger brother and girlfriend Lu has also been criticized by many readers.

With his contribution, at the time of the victory of the revolution, he should have been adapted into a big official like the TV series "White Deer Plain", but in his novel, Lu only explained it in a few words:

It is said that Zhao Peng only stayed in Xi 'an for two days, and followed the troops all the way to the west, catching up with Xinjiang. I didn't write to him or send him a word. He is not sure where he is now, whether he is alive or dead. It is said that there were heavy casualties in the battle of supporting eyebrows. If we can find out Zhao Peng's whereabouts, everything will go away.

Why did Chen keep his mouth shut about Lu's ending, but left readers with suspense of infinite reverie? I think there are three reasons.

0 1 There is no final ending of Lu. Literary works come from reality and are higher than reality. When Chen wrote the novel White Deer Plain, he read a lot of county annals. Among them, the role of Tian Xiaoe is for women who are widowed at a young age and just want to change the words in a county annals. Moreover, the prototype of Teacher Zhu is Niu Zhaolian, a famous philosopher in Sanqin, so for the role of Lu,

At the end of the novel, in order to meet the needs of the development of the plot of the novel, Lu, who has a good academic background and contributed to the uprising, was put in Bai Xiaowen's prison, but many things were done by Heiwa and Lu secretly, and Heiwa's contribution to the revolution was only clear to Lu. In order to play up the tragic fate of Heiwa, Lu can only hear about it from there. Heiwa, who learned well, was executed, but Bai Xiaowen, who coveted his own merits, became a well-deserved county magistrate. Such an ending is more intriguing and worthy of people's reflection. If Bai Xiaowen is caught by Lu, who is a big official, as the TV series "White Deer Plain" is adapted, he will get the punishment he deserves. Although the ending is happy, there will be less tension in literature and less reflection.

In our consciousness, we have made great contributions to the revolution. On the day of the victory of the revolution, it will be successful, sealing his wife and hiding his son in the village. However, in the revolution, just like Lu, he paid for the revolution in obscurity, regardless of personal interests, just to find a bright world in exchange for our life today. His efforts are not to protect his wife and children, but to the public and to a new world full of equality and freedom. If Lu becomes a big official after he becomes famous, he will be re-listed among the emperors and generals, and he will be rewarded with the pattern of sealing Hou.

The novel White Deer Plain, which won the Mao Dun Literature Prize, has been enduring for a long time and has become a masterpiece that people are scrambling to read. It can be said that it is particularly different. Therefore, Mr. Chen kept silent about Lu's ending, which I think is the above three reasons.
