The day before yesterday, I was fortunate to participate in the launch ceremony of the new feature ** "Low Wall" published by Brother Xiaoping, a classmate of the Provincial Writers Association Training Class, and the "Wenxin Reading Club" held by Wuzhong District Library in Suzhou City.
"Low Wall" is a long story of more than 200,000 words**, mainly telling the story of the Taihu Lake in Suzhou in the sixties and seventies of the last centuryOn the other side is the Chi family, an employee of the supply and marketing cooperative, who is the sales point of the supply and marketing cooperative, and has five daughters. The male owner of the Duan family is the director of the Revolutionary Committee of the Commune, but he often buys goods from the Chi family in the form of credit, and the Chi family wants to send his daughter to the supply and marketing cooperatives through the relationship of the Duan family, so he has repeatedly forbearance and connived.
Later, the children of the Duan family gradually declined, and the children of the Chi family were not afraid of poverty, turned pressure into motivation, studied hard, worked hard, and were all admitted to university.
The author of "Low Wall" wrote the fate of the two families at the same time, and completely entered a different life trajectory under the development of the times.
In the final analysis, "Low Wall" is a work of writing people, "standing people" and people standing, it expresses "establishing a heart for heaven and earth, establishing a life for the people, continuing to learn for the saints, and opening peace for all generations", which should be the feelings and pattern shared by ancient Chinese intellectuals and contemporary intellectuals, and is a kind of spiritual height of "although it can't be reached, the heart yearns for it". It reads: The meaning of life is to explore how to be a real "person".
On both sides of the low wall are two worlds, they are very vulgar and earthy, they never hide themselves, they each have their own minds, each family plays a different role and position in society, their concepts, life formats are different.
Literary writing is an art of human learning. Anthropology is first used as a literary means: in the **, the characters are used to promote the story, the human heart and human nature move forward the development of the **plot, and the accumulation of emotions between people, etc., all literary means are the means of anthropology. A writer enlightens people's hearts and destroys human nature in a work. When a writer pursues a higher purpose of writing, and presents the face of human nature in the essence of human nature, will there be a higher artistic effect of human nature.
People are the subject of the first class, each person will be very different, and literature will become colorful, but the requirements for writers are the same, that is, to love people, praise human nature, and use a sense of life of great compassion to save our declining human nature.
"Low Wall" focuses on the fate of the low-level characters in a first-class way, and uses literature to reveal the old pain and new wounds of ordinary Chinese people, with great compassion, which is deeply moving, and lets people know that their fate is in their own hands, and their fate can be changed through continuous efforts.
"Low Wall" lets young people know the difficulties of their fathers' lives, let people know the ups and downs of their parents, let people know the depression and shouts in their parents' hearts when life is painful, and let people understand the truth of life. Thus, hating off to your parents and hating out to kindness!
Just as Wang Yao, a distinguished professor of Changjiang Scholars of the Ministry of Education and a famous literary critic, said: "* The story unfolds in a restrained and simple story, and the portrayal of the daily life and inner world of the little people at the bottom is the focus of 'Low Wall'. ”
This book is written based on life experience, dealing with human nature with Confucian ethics and morality, and narrating stories full of love with love.
Just as Gu Xiaoping, the author of "Low Wall", said, ** is fiction, life is cruel, and society is real.
"Low Wall" is written about the life of a rural market town in Suzhou. Through the first pass, it is necessary to profoundly understand that we must adhere to the coordinated development of material civilization and spiritual civilization. To put it bluntly, a person is very "rich", a lot of money, if his spirit is very empty, and his heart is very dark, what is the use of wealth?
"Low Wall" is from the 60s of the 20th century ** to the 80s, through the Chi family and the Duan family, the two families through more than 20 years of profound changes, telling the philosophical height between "spirit" and "material". That is, the power of the human heart for good. Kindness can change life, family, society, and people's destiny.
This is the main connotation of the long ** "Low Wall" that can win the love of readers.
