Wen Xingchao (deputy editor of "Literature and Art Daily", critic).

As a writer who has appeared in middle school Chinese textbooks for a long time, I think Qin Mu's creation is no stranger to us, and it can be said that his prose has nourished generations of literary youth. But this also leads to another problem, that is, many readers' first impression of Qin Mu's works is the relatively fixed and monolithic impression presented in middle school textbooks. I myself am like this, I didn't have an overall observation of Qin Mu's creation before, and it wasn't until this meeting that I went to read some prose, **, etc., which were relatively unfamiliar before. In this reading, I found that Qin Mu's writing has many faces, not only reasonable, with a strong color of the times, but also many works, such as ** "Angry Sea", etc., if we analyze from the perspective of modernity today, there will be many different discoveries. For example, his understanding of local issues such as dialects, his world vision, etc., these new perspectives and new meanings are actually largely obscured by the "textbook" impression of Qin Mu, and they are precisely more meaningful and enlightening today. Therefore, I think that a basic premise for us to commemorate Qin Mu and revisit Qin Mu's literary creation today is to liberate Qin Mu from the original "textbook" stereotype, and on the basis of comprehensive rereading, restore him to a complete writer, and then deeply explore his complexity and diversity.
