China people have always paid attention to outstanding people's spirit: the land is outstanding because of outstanding people's spirit; People are outstanding because of the spirit of the earth. The hero's sword and the beauty's grass complement each other. A talented woman in "Mirror Flower Edge" even said: "If you are not outstanding, you will get the level of the land." ? Is the land beautiful and the tree safe? "Here, she has raised the status of people to the status of commander in chief. Mount Tai is the top of the famous mountain in China, a symbol of political power endowed by the ancient monarchical power in China, and a carrier of the traditional cultural concept of "harmony between man and nature". According to the law of outstanding people, there should naturally be outstanding talents. There is no shortage of talents in Taishan area in history. From ancient times to the present, there are Liu Xiahui, who was called a "sage and peacemaker" by Mencius (he also became a model of moral perfection with the cultivation of "sitting in peace"), Serina Liu, one of the seven sons of Jian 'an, who was praised as a "strange man" by Cao Pi, Lu An, a good friend of Ji Kang, one of the "seven sages of bamboo forest", wang pu, an astronomer of five generations, a famous agricultural calligrapher in Yuan Dynasty, and an essayist in modern times. Since the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, people's inspiration, harmony and creativity in their new life have never been higher. Groups of little people who were unknown in the past boarded the historical stage and created new achievements. The ancient Mount Tai is undergoing rapid changes. Ke Yu's reportage collection "The Light of Mount Tai" is to praise these new generations of "Taishan people". They are workers, peasants, soldiers and intellectuals who have devoted themselves to reform in industry, agriculture, education, medicine, public security and other fronts since the reform and opening up, and they are martyrs who have dedicated themselves to the revolution. This collection describes ordinary people living at the grass-roots level: "mountain thick stick" farmers, "coal black spot" miners, waiters, chefs, intellectuals who have been in prison, teachers, doctors, "special gardeners" in prison, young pioneers counselors, family members' Committee cadres, factory directors and secretaries who had been cornered ... all started from their own starting points and experienced ups and downs. They are around us, and they represent a vigorous and enterprising era and a prosperous nation. After reading this collection carefully, I feel that the theme of the work is distinct, the structure is natural and novel, the writing is fluent and powerful, and the language is lively. Especially in the characterization, the author has made a lot of efforts to highlight the character and reveal the psychological characteristics of the character with concise movements and vivid dialogues, which is a good work. However, from the perspective of pure literature, there are still some artistic features and sketches in the collection. It would be better to "get rid of weeds and keep green" Of course, it doesn't mean that works with strong news have no artistic value. Most of these works have won good news awards, and their artistry is still very high from the news point of view. In short, the enthusiasm between the lines of this collection, the familiarity with the things described, and the detailed and vivid description of the process of events and the hearts of characters all make us feel that the characters and events described by him are true and simple. This is the step of historical progress recorded by a reporter, and this is the touching emotion of a young man who loves his hometown and people. I have lived in Tai 'an for 23 years, which is my second hometown. I am familiar with the mountains and rivers there, the villagers there, and I have a constant attachment and concern for there. Ke Yu is also a graduate of the Chinese Department of our Mountain Normal University. He asked me to preface his first collection of works. I am very happy. I am proud to have such students. I want to say a few more words, but I will write these because of the rush of time. Song Suiliang199165438+February 9, Shandong Normal University.
