春夏秋冬，一年四季来回循环地走，那是自古也就这样的了。风霜雨雪，受得住的就过去了，受不住的，就寻求着自然的结果，那自然的结果不大好，把一个人默默地一声不响地就拉着离开了这人间的世界了。
至于那还没有被拉去的，就风霜雨雪，仍旧在人间被吹打着。
—— 萧红《呼兰河传》
她们的故事便如流水一般地在夜空里延展开
太阳的光线渐渐从高空忧郁下来
凄沉的阳光
等待宏壮悲愤的典礼来临
—— 萧红《呼兰河传》
《呼兰河传》是萧红于1940年在香港创作的一部充满童心、诗趣和灵感的“回忆式”长篇小说。作者用舒展自如的巡视式艺术手法，用稚拙和朴实的语言，以情感的起伏为脉络，为“生于斯、长于斯的呼兰河畔的乡镇作传，为这个乡镇的风土人情，为各种各样人的生与死、欢乐与悲哀作传”。萧红以娴熟的写作技巧，抒情诗的意境，浑重而又轻盈的文笔，造就了她的*之作，为中国文学奉献了一部不朽的经典。
