The First Chronicles of Storms
The novel "The First Chronicles of Storms" was written in the early 1950s. It is set in two villages along the Hutuo River and revolves around the four surnames of Gao, Wu, Tian and Jiang. The life history of the five families in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War details the living conditions and mental outlook of various social classes in the Jizhong Plain. It also shows that after the July 7th Incident, the people of Jizhong organized the people's armed forces and organized people's armed forces under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. A magnificent picture of establishing an anti-Japanese base area. The author describes the vicissitudes of the anti-Japanese base areas in a calm and relaxed manner, and although his words are humorous, they are not frivolous. The novella "The Prequel of Ironwood" was written in 1956. The novel reveals the life style of the northern rural areas in the early 1950s and the profound impact of the agricultural cooperative movement on rural society through the establishment and breakdown of friendship between the iron (smith) and the carpenter (carpenter) families for more than ten years.
The work successfully portrays Xiao Man'er, a character with contradictory personality who is at a crossroads in life, leaving a deep impression on readers. After 1956, the author stopped writing for a long time due to illness, but he used the supplement "Literary Weekly" of "Tianjin Daily" as a position to discover and cultivate many young writers. During this period, he also wrote a collection of essays "Jinmen Xiaoji" and a collection of essays "Short Essays on Literature". Sun Li's creations before and during the early years of liberation were collected into "Baiyangdian Chronicles" (1958), which is the author's most famous and most representative of his creative style. A collection of novels and essays. It mainly reflects the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation and the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The people in the central Hebei Plain and the mountainous areas of western Hebei carried out war, land reform, labor production, mutual assistance and cooperation under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. Life scenes that change customs. The work outlines the historical customs of the era and society from many aspects. With its bright and smooth writing style, elegant and meaningful style and rich vivid images of workers, the work has aroused strong responses among readers. Among them, works such as "Lotus Lake" have become widely circulated famous works. The literary and art circles even regard it as the symbol of a style of modern literature and the main representative work of the "Lotus Lake School". The articles he wrote in his early years were fresh and meaningful, full of longing and longing for a better life, while the articles in his later years were more sophisticated and more critical of society and worldly affairs. He not only wrote beautiful and lyrical novels like "Lotus Lake", but also wrote novels like "I don't modify myself, I don't mourn myself, I don't believe that there is a penglai in the world. The weather is overcast by the sun, and I just want to turn into dust in this life." Depressing, pessimistic verses. The contrast between Sun Li's works is so great that reading his articles from different periods before and after him will make you feel like a completely different person. What exactly is this for? What does a real Sun Li look like? Sun Li loves life, otherwise it would be impossible to imagine so many beautiful scenery and characters he painted, even though he was born during a period of serious national and national disasters. The great Anti-Japanese War called countless revolutionary young people to join it, and Sun Li was no exception. The extremely cruel war years have fully developed the people's spiritual quality and the nation's fine tradition of diligence and bravery. Sun Li was moved by this and created a large number of novels with war as the background, such as "Lotus Lake", "Luhua Dang", "Glory", "Instructions" and "The First Story of the Storm". His novels "set the turbulent war storm against the moonlight reed shadows of Baiyangdian and the bright eyes of red coats in the mountains of western Hebei, thereby discovering the goodness of human nature and the beauty of human relationships that are truly worth cherishing in daily ethical life." He focused on describing and praising the beautiful scenery and human relations of his hometown, and created a large number of images of kind and simple rural women. Shui Sheng Wife, Xiumei, Wu Zhaoer, Chun'er, Niuer... Sun Li not only described their beautiful appearance and special qualities, but also went deep into their rich and complex emotional world, reflecting the changes of the times through the changes in their fate. He built his ideal kingdom in the world of literature. Sun Li once said: "Although literature and art are minor, once they are published and distributed, they are also the objects of heaven and the people, and heaven and the people listen. We should engage in this work seriously and never take it lightly." Therefore, Sun Li's articles are based on his personal experience. He said: "I avoid things that I have not participated in" and "I write about things that I have seen, but after thinking and selecting." It can be said that the beautiful and lovely characters written by Sun Li embody all his longings and ideals. However, reality and ideals are always full of contradictions. As a writer in the liberated areas, Sun Li was once widely read and praised, and was known as the founder of the "Lotus Lake School". Together with Zhao Shuli's "Yam Egg School", they formed the twin gems of literature in the liberated areas. But just as Sun Li was full of enthusiasm for life in the novel, the real situation made him increasingly confused and nervous. The spiritual shock brought about by the rectification movement in 1942, the public criticism for publishing a novel in 1946, and the articles such as "Ten Years of Farewell to Tongkou Town" and "Xin'an Travel Notes" during the land reform were designated as examples of "Keli Kong". As well as a series of criticisms of intellectuals after liberation, especially the large-scale turmoil caused by the criticism of the Hu Feng movement in 1955 in the intellectual community. This series of events made Sun Li, who was in poor health and always worried about making mistakes in his articles, The long-stretched nerves finally collapsed in the spring of 1956. Hence the later saying "Ten years of waste due to illness, ten years of waste due to misfortunes". Like the fate of all modern Chinese traditional intellectuals, the fate of writers is closely linked to the times. As the revolution moved toward victory step by step and gradually shrunk the space for intellectual speech, some writers actively participated in it, while others hesitated between participation and withdrawal, while others remained silent. Shen Congwen and Sun Li definitely belong to the latter. If Shen Congwen's silence is filled with too much bitterness and helplessness, then Sun Li's silence is an active retreat to protect his moral integrity, although there is also more helplessness and coercion in it. Completely different from Shen Congwen, who remained silent for the rest of his life until his death. After Sun Li's "Cultural Revolution", the conflict between ideals and reality not only inspired his creative enthusiasm, but also reversed his past aesthetic creative tendencies. He was more concerned about social injustice and the dangers of human nature. Expose and criticize more. For example, in his article "The Later Rich", he made bitter satire and criticism of social injustice and the resulting disparity between rich and poor.
He described the daily life of outsiders who were constantly picking up rags in a high-end residential building. In particular, when he was walking early one morning, he met a little girl from outside the country who had just come out of the garbage room of a building and her body was covered with black ash. It shocked his soul and raised this question: "There are already many people in the country who became rich first. These people who came to the city from the countryside to seek life can be said to be the people who became rich later." In "Yun" In the letter "Zhai Shu Jian - To Han Yingshan", he listed a simple reply that made someone think he had been ridiculed and even held a grudge. As a result, when this person later became the leader of the rebels during the Cultural Revolution, he took full revenge. Although he was capable of doing things, "their intentions were so poisonous and his methods were so cruel that I almost lost my life." Reveals the dangers of human nature in real life. He sharply criticized the phenomenon of "merchantization" in the literary world that he regarded as sacred throughout his life, and pointed out many times: "Because the writing style in the literary world is not correct, some promising authors cannot resist the temptation and fall into the trap of Wrong way." Sun Li dismissed the popular practice of "spending money to buy fame" in the form of "studies" and "celebrations": "'Spending money to buy fame', especially 'spending other people's money to build momentum for oneself', I I don’t want to do it, but I’m ashamed of it.” Regarding the phenomenon of officialdom in the literary world, Sun Li pointed out: “Literary and art groups have become officialdom no longer overnight, but the more they clamor for reform, the more officialdom becomes, which is puzzling. "It is really a tragedy that the literary and art world has turned into an officialdom." He further pointed out: "If the literary career is like the official career (in fact, the official career in the literary world is now difficult to distinguish), eager for quick success and seeking fame, there will always be no good results. " He criticized and gave advice to some so-called new wave writers for their shallowness and ignorance: "The first works of some so-called new wave writers in the contemporary era also met the political needs of the time and became popular. This is understandable. If you continue to work hard, it will be natural. You can become a famous person. However, whenever you enter the officialdom (literary and artistic groups are also officialdom), you will get carried away and act ignorantly. When encountering setbacks, you will blame others and even act recklessly. This is not only disrespectful to politics, but also harmful. Writer's style." Regarding some ugly phenomena in the literary world, he lamented: "Wow! The literary world is the literary world of the people, not the literary world of one person, one family, or a group of people. Why can't people pay attention to it? Can you resist it? Unfortunately, in recent years, some figures in the literary world have acted recklessly and the people are no longer willing to care about and care for this forum." Sun Li's literary career began at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War. Lasted for nearly 70 years. Especially in less than twenty years in his later years, he wrote more than 1 million words of works, ushering in another peak of creation. From the freshness and grace of his early works to the pertinence of current issues, complaints and compassion in his later works, he completed the personality shaping and life journey from Sun Li's ideal to the ideal Sun Li. Looking back on his life, Sun Li once said with emotion: "I don't know if what I see now is what I dreamed of and pursued when I was young..." Sun Li, who once served in the army with a pen, lived alone in a shabby house in his later years, was frail and sick, and wrote I kept reading, often thinking about the passing years, savoring the taste of life in loneliness and aging, and sometimes tears filled my eyes. He once sighed in an inscription: "Today, all the old friends from Shanxi, Chahar and Hebei have withered away, and the mountains, rivers and vegetation are no longer what they used to be. Looking back on those years, I can't help but burst into tears." At this point in my writing, my mind suddenly transformed into the image of Yan Suicheng, a man from the Qing Dynasty. A poem in "Three Chui Gang": "There are strange children under the wind and cloud tent, and there are many tears in front of the drum horn lamp." The image of this poem is a summary of Mr. Sun Li's life, so I simply used it as the title of this article. Sun Li lived his whole life at the age of 90, without any success or great wealth. What he left to the world was only his simple words, and the sincere humanity and fiery heart hidden under the words, which made those who came after him sigh... The article "Luhuadang" was included in the junior high school curriculum. Edit this paragraph Hehuadian School

Reading Sun Li's works first started with novels. It gave me a strong impression of unique style. It is a war theme, but it rarely depicts blood and fire. There is no twists and turns in the storyline, and there is no complicated description of war. Instead, it shows more the beauty of the souls of the characters in the war, but it has its own magical power that attracts people. The scenery of Baiyangdian in his paintings is fresh and clear, exuding moist moisture, like a light ink painting, filled with rich poetic flavor. My favorite things to read at that time were "Luhuadang" and "Lotus Lake". To this day, when I close my eyes, I can still picture Shuisheng saying that he will go to the army tomorrow under the hazy moonlight. Sister-in-law Shuisheng's fingers trembled and she thought: It was Wei Meizi who cut her hand. She put her finger in her mouth and sucked it. What a delicate and expressive detail! Maybe it was because I was young and had little experience. At that time, I didn’t like to read Sun Li’s prose very much. I thought it was too plain. There were no strange sentences and the vocabulary was not fancy. The narratives were mostly white descriptions. At that time, I preferred to put on heavy makeup, gorgeous words, passionate and unrestrained, and even "fake, big, empty" style of lyrical prose that "expressed sorrow in order to compose new words". As I grow older and gain more experience, I feel that Sun Li's prose pays attention to emotional restraint, is subtle and subtle, simple and clean, as if it has been washed in water. I realized that it is easy to put on heavy makeup, but it is difficult to be plain and natural. It is even more difficult to be "unpretentious, ordinary and surprising, light and tasteful". At this time, I loved his prose more than his novels, and I was even more in love with his prose of the new era. "Wanhua Collection", "Xiulu Collection", "Danding Collection", "Chize Collection"... Whether it is about remembering people, thinking about hometown, recalling childhood and war years, or chanting things, they are all integrated with profound meaning. life insights.
Mr. Sun Li does not like officialdom, stays away from the excitement, and prefers to be lonely. It is precisely because of this rare character that he can enter a grand and profound artistic realm that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve with a quiet and submerged mentality for a long time. Mr. Sun Li's prose is "life-writing" prose. He is a philosophical writer, and most of his philosophical thoughts are accompanied by images and passions. Therefore, in many cases, they help to form the poetic and picturesque quality of his works. He often sublimates the emotions of life from commonplace things, and condenses and expresses the profound sentiments of life in his works, which not only provides people with aesthetic enjoyment, but also enables people to understand the truth about life, society and nature. Reading his prose is like listening to the calm and easy-going talk of a wise man who has experienced many vicissitudes of life. You need to calm down and read slowly. In "Orioles", he wrote affectionately: "Everything has its ultimate. Tigers roar deep in the mountains, fish swim at the bottom of the pond, camels walk across the desert, and geese line up in the sky. This is their ultimate." In "Jia Pingwa's Prose" In the "Preface to the Collection", he praised Jia Pingwa as a farmer who worked hard in a small garden, and at the same time reminded the writer: "The path of literature and art is just like the path of life. There are too many premature gold medals, horses, high-ranking officials, and high-rise buildings." It is not necessarily a good thing for a person, or a writer, to be able to withstand hardship, slander and humiliation in his life. It is peaceful, it can handle the heat, it can come and go in the wind. " Mr. Sun Li lives a simple life and does not care about glory. He loves the yellow and white cauliflower that grows from the roots of the Chinese cabbage that he stored in the winter and puts it carefully. In the basin, on the desk. Hence the beautiful and beautiful article "Cauliflower". He thinks cauliflower is small and ordinary, but equally beautiful. The author wrote at the end: "Now, I am old and twilight, living in the city for a long time, my hometown is like a dream. Facing a cauliflower, I suddenly think of many past events. The past events are like the color and smell of the cauliflower, far away from nothingness, elusive, and can only arouse Melancholy. Human life is undoubtedly a big topic. Many people try their best to write it into a magnificent article. I can only write it into a small article, which is equivalent to a cauliflower. It is also life, and any life can be the title of an article. "In 1992, Mr. Sun Li wrote an article called "Lentils" with a far-reaching meaning. "White lentils are thin and long, purple lentils are wide and thick, and the latter is the most harvested. I have been fond of eating lentils since I was a child, either stir-fried or fried. When frying, the lentils are steamed first and then coated in flour, which is called lentil fish." wrote At this point, there is a sudden turn, cutting into the memory of life in 1939, the time spent living with a single guerrilla soldier. "Every night, when I came back from the mountains, I would sit on his heated kang and eat his fried cornmeal pancakes and fried lentils. There was also a piece of green tobacco leaf roasted on the stove, which he crushed in his hands. We were smoking and chatting, listening to the whistling mountain breeze outside. "From objects to people, it expresses deep thoughts and nostalgia for the harmonious relationship between life and death, love and sincerity between comrades in the war years, which is simple, sincere, and reasonable. Having both, the realm is lofty and far-reaching, the great is seen in the small, smart and elegant, and perfect. In the past seventeen years, Sun Li's novels seem to be unfinished works based on their titles. Only by savoring them carefully can you discover the joys and sorrows in them. Mr. Sun Li's style is similar to that of Japan's Kawabata Yasunari, but the origins of the two are completely different: Sun Li comes from his love for his homeland, while the latter comes from his life. Sun Li diligently pursues "novel prose culture" and is good at portraying various images of village girls: on the one hand, he inherits the tradition of Chinese classical novels and gives them a revolutionary color; on the other hand, he highlights the freshness of rural daily life in his narrative about revolution. With a feminine meaning, it actually shows some unique discoveries about life in the revolutionary era by a writer who was low-key, indifferent and emotionally weak. The writing is like the person. Sun Li was indifferent to fame and wealth throughout his life, lived in seclusion, kept a low profile, and had a clear distinction between love and hate. Writer Xie Daguang said it well in "Impressions of Sun Li": "Sun Li's works are completely consistent with his personality and can be trusted. Here we can borrow a passage he said when commemorating the Russian writer Chekhov: 'We We can only know him from his works... For such a sincere writer, we can fully understand him as long as we read his works carefully.
