Shen Congwen’s words are like the gurgling of a clear stream, with a warm tranquility in the softness. He likes to write about the delicate emotions of the characters in the small town, integrating the details and beauty of life between nature and humanity. Today, let’s talk about Ju Fufu with her “popcorn pot”, and see her simplicity and charm in the hot battle, which is very similar to the memories of persistence and tenderness in the small town.
1. The popcorn pot is like the familiar smell of the stall at the entrance of the village
Ju Fufu’s biggest “arrogance” is the pot. The pot was originally a kitchen utensil, but it became her fighting partner. The sizzling sound in the pot is like the familiar aroma of the stall at the entrance of the village. I remember when I was a child, my mother cooked sweet potatoes and pickled pickles, and the pot always squeaked, making people feel that the family is in the smoke. Ju Fufu’s pot also has that sense of fireworks-she is not a high-ranking warrior, but holding daily tools, bravely facing the world.
2. Normal attack combos are like the gentle rhythm of life
Her normal attack is divided into three parts – a quick greeting, a steady attack, and a “counterattack”. This rhythm is like the morning in the countryside: the first sound of a cock crowing, the second sound of carrying water, and the third sound of cooking smoke. Ordinary but rhythmic. The combo between the third attack continues, and it seems to want to extend the warmth and persistence, so that the light is hidden in the ordinary. Ju Fufu is not fighting for victory, but for the fire in his heart that refuses to admit defeat.
3. The heat mechanism is similar to the heartbeat frequency
The “heat” mechanism in the game is very interesting. The more she attacks, the higher the heat, just like the heartbeat is accelerated by life. Each of us will have a moment when we are excited by something, our palms are hot, and our eyes are shining. When the heat is full, she will release it. It’s like a child who has a belly full of courage and then rushes into the field and laughs loudly, pure and without fear.
4. Loneliness and freedom in dodging and spinning
Ju Fufu’s dodging is not just retreating, she can spin and wander – this is a kind of lonely freedom. She spins among enemies, just like a girl in a small town spinning by the river at dusk, drawing a world for herself. She uses the pot to spin her own rhythm, protect herself, and find an exit for herself. This spin is not a struggle, but a dance of dialogue between self and the world.
5. Linking skills and shields bring interpersonal warmth
She not only fights, she protects people and links up. Putting shields on teammates is not a bold statement, but a grounded action. Just like the good neighbor in the small town described by Shen Congwen, when he hears you being blown down by the wind, he will send a bowl of hot porridge or lend a hand. Ju Fufu’s moves are clanging, but they give people peace of mind. This is not a display of strength, but the faint warmth between comrades.
6. Strengthening skills is like the bursting point of life
When the skill enhancement catches fire, the real fire in the pot sprays out, and popcorn flies everywhere. She blooms into what she wants in an instant. People in small towns also have such moments – when children in the village are admitted to university, or speak on the stage for the first time, they are the focus of attention. At that moment, they speak out for the heat they have been waiting for for a long time.
7. Core skills and automatic attacks are metaphors for growth
The core skills make the pot attack automatically, and Ju Fufu will not stop even after leaving. Just like when people in small towns leave their hometown, they call back many years later, and the neighbors still say: “When she was a child…” – your life has been integrated into there, and it is still warm without being there. Her automatic attack, just like this warmth, is the simplest and longest waiting that has settled down over time.
8. Imagery and shadows are pieces of light and shadow in her inner world
In the end, she became popular and the images flowed, just like the lights reflected on the river surface of the small town at night. Her shadows are not a show of skill, but a mark of life. Those flames are not just attacks, but the light of her existence. In life, not only do you say “I want to live”, but you also need to use your own way to shine in ordinary moments.
Conclusion: See the tenderness and tenacity of life in the popcorn pot
Ju Fufu is a girl who is not a warrior, nor a knight. She is a girl from a small town, a person who lives life, and a flexible woman who uses a pot as a weapon and food. Her flame is the tenacity in the daily life, and the unyielding under the blows of life.
The characters in Shen Congwen’s works are not earth-shattering, but reassuring. Ju Fufu is the same. She is not trying to save the world, but she can give people a breath of warmth in the chaos. Her pot hits the enemy and warms people’s hearts; her heat is the courage to rush out of boredom; her skills are not combat tutorials, but metaphors for life.
She tells us: Heroes do not have to be at the level of war gods, as long as they keep a little fire and a little warmth in their lives. The pot does not need magic, as long as you use your heart, it is the best weapon.
