The details are the most touching
I feel like reading Mao Ge's long story ** "Snow Burial".
Jia Hongguo. Writing an article is like kneading noodles, if you want to be long, you have to be fine. Therefore, the description of details is the key to attracting the interest of reading.
In the early years, I had read several reviews and introductory articles about Maugo's Snow Burial, but I never had the chance to read this book. Later, he consulted Mao Ge on WeChat, and he said that it was estimated that there was this book on the Dangdang platform**, so he finally bought a copy of the Dangdang app!
After receiving the book "Snow Burial" sent by the platform, I couldn't hold back my eagerness to read, flipped through a few pages at the express station, and continued to read it carefully when I got home. **Humanities and plateau military for me, the relationship is special and long-lasting, so I have developed a love of reading** and plateau military-related books, I am fascinated by it, and I am distracted when I read it. My reading habits are very special, beautiful words and sentences should be recorded, and touching plots like to share. As a result, I like to be quiet when I read, and I need to be undisturbed so that my mind can be completely relaxed. Only then can we move and fit with the author's inspiration, can we fully appreciate the details of the plateau written by the author, and can we beat in rhythm with the author's emotional pulse.
In the cold season in central Sichuan, the continuous dry winter ushered in a new round of cooling and rain, a few days of rain and rain, with the company of the farmer's charcoal oven, take out the "Snow Burial" and read it carefully, follow the jump of the text, and slowly walk into the Devil's Peak outpost!
"Snow Burial" revolves around the daily progress of the military at the Border Devil's Peak Outpost, and the two characters of Zhong Xiaoxin and Jin Zhu suddenly pulled the hearts of our veterans who have experienced the snow mountain outpost, making us seem to have returned to the years of the outpost. Anyone who has experienced the snow mountain outpost has the joys, sorrows, sorrows, joys and sorrows of the Devil's Peak outpost, the snow mountains are colorful, the peaks have shadows, and the thoughts are sound. Just like the poem "The Man on the Devil's Peak", he is not a hero who wears a military uniform and has been on a snow-capped mountain outpost, fortitude and tenderness, the country and his own family, the border and the hinterland ......Soon into the familiar storyline of the veterans.
Regarded as a comrade-in-arms by Xiao Xin of the Devil's Peak outpost, Mao Ge used the description of a dog to fully reflect the loneliness of the outpost, the fireworks in the world, and the general psychology of human nature! It is really the finishing touch, and I am deeply impressed after reading, and the description of verbs replaces the slogan of adverbs, which makes people believe, kind, and admirable.
Xiao Hei was terminally ill, and at the moment when he was about to complete his life cycle, he met Wang Platoon Commander and took him out of the outpost and abandoned him in Ramcuo, so that Xiao Hei didn't want to die, this is the instinct of life, it thought of the outpost, thinking about the soldiers at the outpost, so even if Xiao Hei was on the verge of death, he didn't want to leave, even if he died, he would die at the Devil's Peak outpost.
In the 80s, at the Yadong Zhuola outpost, the soldiers also raised a dog named Haohao, an ordinary little earth dog in Tibet, not big, with messy dog fur and a small black circle under the dog's eyes, and the officers and soldiers said that this was a four-eyed dog. However, he is clever and humane, and can accompany his comrades to stand guard, and can lead the way down the mountain to carry the main and non-staple food with the soldiers, which brings a trace of spiritual comfort to the lonely officers and soldiers. Canned rice, the fighters would rather not be full, but let Hao Hao be full. Later, I also wrote about Hao Hao many times, and later I was discharged from the army and lost contact with the Zora outpost, and the follow-up story of Hao Hao became a mystery!
So Xiao Hei in "Snow Buried", as soon as he saw the description of it, he remembered Zhuo La and Hao Hao. This kind of special fate destined complex, can it not make people's hearts surge?
Ordinary readers expect everyone in ** to have a happy ending, but those who have experienced the snow mountain outpost know that it is taken for granted, and accidents and sacrifices are always with you. "Devil's Peak" is the same, as scary as its name, and it feels like this is the foreshadowing that the author has already laid for the ending.
There are four seasons in a mountain, ten miles of different days, and the climate of the snow mountain outpost is changeable, and it is still fresh in my memory. Thunder and snow, hail, direct sunlight for a while, dark clouds for a while, this is the norm, the border guards joked, the weather forecast of the snow mountain outpost, the gods are not accurate. In addition, the natural environment of the outpost also includes lack of oxygen and water, heavy snow covering the mountains, lack of green vegetables, lack of cultural life, lack of popularity and vitality, ......The devil-like environment allows officers and men to survive in an environment far away from normal people's lives, and the vitality of people can make people feel aphasia, and the simple and rude "roaring mountain" cannot become an activity item of the outpost, because it is a border defense and a national border. That scene was lonely and tragic, and it made people unable to hold back tears. Every time the officers and men of the outpost came down the mountain, they seemed to not know how to communicate with people, but at the outpost, they knew how to be loyal to the snow-capped mountains.
The details of "Snow Burial" are very fascinating, and I don't want to know the ending of the story as soon as possible, because knowing the ending means that the story is almost over. If you are deeply moved, you will read it again so that you can slowly release your emotions and not read the next chapter quickly.
The description of "Outpost Star" is very much in line with the memories of the people who have experienced the outpost in the snowy mountains. The "Outpost Star" in the book is the name given by Jin Zhu to an unnamed star on the Devil's Peak Outpost. This is the author's trick when setting up the storyline, and it is also another spring to extend the story of the Devil's Peak outpost.
Sitting at an altitude of 5,120 meters above sea level and blending into the night, the world was so quiet that only I was the only one left, only the outpost star above me was twinkling at me. Then I told him, and it told me, poetry brewing in my chest. "I don't think the Outpost Star is the inspiration of Jin Zhu**, but a mysterious existence that triggers his inspiration. The "Outpost Star" is the true emotional reproduction of Jinzhu, the real emotional embellishment of the officers and soldiers and the outpost, and the realm after the sentry's patriotic feelings have been precipitated to a certain extent.
Each outpost of our Yadong border defense has a "post star", which is the emotional coordinates of our border soldiers. After leaving Devil's Peak, the outpost poet Jin Zhu never wrote any decent works. This point, I also have a deep understanding, since leaving the ** border barracks in 91, for 20 years, I have not written an article about Yadong, of course, there are many reasons for this, until the body is out of condition, can not do physical work, only began to calm down, look at the photo album of the army, information, clarify the memory of the ** military, so I began to hit the keyboard, the military memory of the snowy plateau, like fragments, slowly collected and sorted out.
As Mr. Mao Ge said, it's not because we're lazy – it's because it's **! How incisive! What a pinpoint to the point! And it is precisely because of ** that let, the souls who are wandering in the world, will eventually have a longing destination; It is precisely because of ** that I know that I am not familiar with the world that there is still such a holy land in this world that can accept me.
*Generally, the author's figure is copied in the description of a certain character. In the first-person "I" tone of "Snow Burial", with delicate psychological descriptions, vivid adverb portrayals, and eloquent narration of the Longmen Array, the soldier Zhong Xiaoxin, the outpost poet Jin Zhu, the high-level student Qin Sentinel in mountain warfare, and the old squad leader Chen Yao, who has been at the Devil's Peak Outpost for 16 years, are vivid, and they are my comrades-in-arms who eat and live together. The Devil Peak Outpost in the clouds is either covered by the clouds or embraced by the clouds, and the devil transforms into a suit, as mysterious as magic. And in such a forbidden area of life, the soldiers on the border guards guarded every inch of the motherland's frontier heights with their youth and even their blood of life, depicted their loyalty and mission, and wrote the life legend of the plateau border guards.
* It depicts that Zhong Xiaoxin won the annual award, and the head of the outpost immediately used a potato as a trophy to present Xiaoxin with an award, which is wonderful. I interviewed the outpost once, and their prize was a cabbage. This is similar to the potato trophy. This precious detail reflects the difficult and harsh environment faced by the border guards. The Devil's Peak outpost is 5120 meters above sea level, and the Yadong Zhuola outpost is 5400 meters above sea level, which is also in addition to winter, that is, about winter. Summers are short, with occasional clear skies, and only a little grass stretches out, that's all.
But it is under such harsh conditions that they are still sculpturally in love with the amorous land under their feet, in the lonely years of watching soldiers during the day and counting stars at night, they have survived the seasonal cycle of heavy snow and mountains, sticking to their original intentions, keeping in mind their mission, shouldering, dedicating, and moving!
Military themes** are generally too yang and tender, but in the book "Snow Burial", in addition to a group of hot-blooded men and the military camp behind them, ** has created a full of masculinity and positive energy. The only few women in the book, such as Yang Jin and Xiaoli, Yanzi, Xiaoxue and even Yu'er, inject tenderness into **, and everyone's appearance can be said to coincide with the fact, coming and going, in a hurry, soft sadness, magnetic amazement. The details of love are described in moderation, but the characters portrayed are full of agility, the enthusiastic Yang Jin, the beautiful Xiaoli, and the precious swallow are all kind and lovely positive energy, as beautiful and pure as the Devil's Peak Outpost Snow Mountain.
Mao Ge's identity as a poet provides condiment for the emotional integration of **. In the book, as a poet cast by Jinzhu, a lot of poems are interspersed, which is undoubtedly the icing on the cake, making the details of the story more flexible, and reproducing the poems and distant places, flesh and blood. For example: A beautiful Tibetan girl She can put the clarity of Namtso into her eyes This is the first creation between heaven and earth on the plateau At a glance, it reminds me of the tenderness of angels This is the last clarity, maybe after July This is the only remaining charm I see Be careful! Who wants to be a lamb to follow her, happy in her eyes......
The class got the axe, and he was only shallow in learning, and he couldn't forcefully say the outline of "Snow Burial", so he used the most sincere emotion to read it again, and paid tribute to Mr. Mao Ge's hard work and sharing his broad ** border defense feelings! The persistence of this spiritual temple is higher than the Himalayas and longer than the Brahmaputra, and the heart lamp still accompanies the most lovely people of our time, which is worthy of each of us to look up to from the bottom of our hearts.
