On the afternoon of December 16th, the "Song of the Earth in Affectionate Retrospective - Asher's "On the Banks of the Ana River" New Book Sharing Meeting" was held in Beijing. Qiao Ye, winner of the 11th Mao Dun Literature Award, Liu Daxian, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Ma Zongwu, the host of the reading program of People's Radio, and Asher, the author of "On the Banks of the Ana River", started from the long "On the banks of the Ana River", and went deep into how to use literature to reconstruct the spiritual hometown, interpret the relationship between the hometown and people, and show the richness of human nature.
"On the banks of the Ana River" is Asher's latest feature**, which tells the life process of the builders represented by the Ming Shuangquan family in the construction of the lush farm. Talking about his impression of "On the Banks of the Ana River", Qiao Ye said that he and Asher have similar paths in the flow of their personal lives, so when writing about their hometowns, they both have the meaning of "searching for roots" from a foreign land to look back at their hometowns. Regarding the aesthetic style of **, Qiao Ye gave it a long list of adjectives: solemn, pure, enthusiastic, pertinent, delicate, precise, fresh, and robust, "I also recognized the writing of "Ordinary World" and the writing of "The World", in which the narrative is sometimes a little clumsy, but very moving, with a classical temperament."
Ma Zongwu, who also spent his youth on the Bingtuan farm, because he had the same life experience with Asher, couldn't calm down for a long time when he read "On the Banks of the Ana River", "My fathers, and more builders, it was on that land that little by little there was a breath of life, and they built the Gobi Desert into an oasis and a land of wheat waves. This ** shows the various stories that have happened in the process of several generations of builders."
In Liu Daxian's view, Asher focused on the first level of frontier life, and wrote about "the creation of man and the transformation of this creation itself", the first generation was a pioneer and a builder, who came to a strange land as a stranger and started from scratch in this place. The theme of the second level is the game between the collective and the individual, idealism and individualism, which gives ** a sense of historical realism.
