Wang Jianxin's family prose collection "Love" is coming out in Fu Zi, and I specially asked him to preface it. Although I promised, I was delayed for a few days because of various chores. It coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I think of the ancient poem "How bright the moonlight is at home!" And "I miss my relatives twice during the festive season", so I will combine them to talk about this book.
Affection is an eternal theme in the writing of literati and poets in past dynasties. The author's book is based on affection, and the title of Attachment makes people feel a deep affection. Among them, the author's attachment to relatives, childhood, hometown and truth, goodness and beauty. His first essay began with his mother-in-law, followed by his cousin, adoptive parents, his son's little aunt, little sister, third mother, uncle and his son's michel platini godmother. When a line is written down, the author's feelings are like a surging river, which is hard to stop. These people he trusts are the most important and favorite people who have ever appeared in his life. I was moved by the intensity and innocence of that attachment.
In reading, readers may notice that none of the author's love stories are specifically about his biological parents. However, whenever writing an article about family, parents are naturally the protagonists of nature. Such as Zhu De's Memory of Mother and Zhu Ziqing's Back. But this book is not like this. I was surprised at first and thought it was the author's negligence. Only when I saw his back did I know that he lost his mother when he was two years old, and his weak father had no choice but to give him away because he couldn't support him. He has never met his real parents, and he doesn't even know what their real parents are like. Naturally, he can only leave a regrettable blank in this respect. Knowing the whole story, I felt sorry for him. The author is a bitter person.
But the author is really a lucky dog. His adoptive parents treated him as their own. From babbling to sending him to school to continuing to teach him to be a man, they are nothing to him, even better than their own children. He is not related to everyone in his adoptive parents' family, but between the lines of the article, I read a kind of affection similar to blood is thicker than water. Emotions are expressed in words, and the article is full of gratitude to adoptive parents and elders and attachment to everyone in this family. From this, I can't help thinking of our nation. What a kind nation we are. Everyone has compassion and great love. This kind of great love need not be exaggerated, in fact, it is also reflected in daily behavior.
This is the first time I have read the author's article systematically. I found that the author has a good command of language. For example, he wrote about his mother-in-law: "She is like a porter, carrying her home at one end and her work at the other, trudging on a bumpy road." The little aunt who wrote her son: "A pair of clear big eyes are shining, and two slightly thick eyebrows are like clumps of green grass, hiding two deep pools;" A high nose and a moderate mouth. She has two dimples, and every time she smiles, she looks like a cheerful man named Qiu Hua in full bloom. " "She passed the dimples on to her daughter, who passed them on to her two children. There were only two chrysanthemums, but now they are full of swaying chrysanthemums. "It is very emotional to read.
And his adoptive father: "My father is about 1 m 73, and his lower limbs are slender, which is the most standard proportion of the golden cutting line. The upper limbs are symmetrical, the skin color is fair, the eyebrows are big and the eyelids are big, and there is always a soft light in the eyes. " "He is a typical clothes rack mold. No matter what kind of clothes and trousers he wears, he looks so decent, symmetrical and chic. " Write about his two cousins and vividly describe the whole process of how they got rich through labor, so that we can see the tangible benefits brought to the people by the good policies of reform and opening up. In the article "Going to Zhuhai to Attend My Nephew's Wedding Banquet", the affectionate scene is vividly written, which makes us feel as if we were there and unforgettable.
Writing is like this, so is writing. For example, in "White Radish in Hometown", the author personifies the white radishes in his eyes and writes: "In winter, they enter their prime of life, unwilling to be isolated and lonely in the soil, sticking their heads out of the ground for two or three inches, covered with long hair, like groups of naughty children, poking around and being lively and lovely." What a vivid image! Writing "Slow Fire Casserole Soup in Hometown" described the practice and cooking process of casserole soup in detail. He said that what he couldn't erase was two kinds of delicious food in his hometown, one was crispy rice porridge and the other was slow fire casserole soup. Because I wrote rice crust porridge, he joked that it was "cooked by Mr. Fan Guoqiang", so I simply avoided talking about it and devoted myself to the latter, which is like cherishing ink.
The author is my real hometown, the birthplace is the hexagonal pavilion in Wuhan, which is only one step away from my childhood residence. He is also my real colleague. He used to work in the 15th Metallurgical Company. He is the "mechanized unit" of the special company, and I am the "infantry" of the engineering company. Both of them work in No.07 construction site. He is my real colleague. He has been engaged in political work all his life and has worked in the discipline inspection front for many years. When I was working in the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, his name would hit my eardrum from time to time. Because of these three "truths", when he wrote a post at the back of my article published on the Internet, I felt a kind of intimacy of meeting an old friend. Coupled with the matchmaking of Liao Lao, the old leader of the 15 th Metallurgical Industry, although we met for the first time, we seemed to feel at home.
The author was obviously influenced by Liao Lao when he wrote this book. Previously, I had written a preface for one of Liao Lao's books at the invitation of Liao Lao, and it was said that it had a good response among fifteen old colleagues. Inspired by Liao Lao, the author also had the idea of setting the past in his pen. He is going to rely on his horse. He is a Aauto Quicker. Most of the essays in this book were written by him in April this year, and the time from writing to writing was less than half a year. If we compare our writing to the spring of a mountain stream, it will continue; His works are like waterfalls in a mountain stream. Decades of rich experience, accompanied by his talent and feelings, is like a sudden accumulation of time, and he wrote a book at once. As an old man looking forward to seven, his actions can be praised by readers, and the comfort at this time is self-evident.
Lala Zaza tells me how I feel about this book. If I have to point out the flaws in this book, I think it is because of the hasty publication of the book. Some words seem to need polishing, and some places seem unsuitable for direct exposure. But this book is worth reading. While sincerely congratulating the author for publishing his masterpiece, I also sincerely wish the author to write a new chapter in the future.
This is a sequence.
