A glimpse of military reportage in the past p>5 years
Zhu Xiangqian
As we all know, the so-called military reportage was only a
branch of prose in the first 17 years of the contemporary era, and it was some communication, memoir and documentary texts. It really developed independently after the new
period. Strictly speaking, it is the product of the new period.
Wei Wei's "Who is the cutest person" and "The Affection of Farewell" are often
regarded as battlefield communication and included in the category of news, which is of course not unreasonable,
because it fully meets the requirements of communication and has complete news elements. However, it is not reluctant to regard it as the beginning of the military prose of the
generation, because there is no strict Chu-He-Han boundary between the two. What's more, Wei Wei is a mature writer with profound literary accomplishment. He
naturally used more artistic brushwork in "communication" and devoted more personal
feelings. The authenticity of an event makes it like a communication, while the literariness of its expression makes it an essay.
This is a "hybrid", and the advantage of hybridization is an important factor for its popularity.
It successfully started the first 17 years of documentary military prose (or reportage). On the
river, Liu Baiyu's novelette documentary prose (reportage), The Chronicle of Long
Smoke Village, Ten Thousand Guns Shocked the Golden Gate, Volunteer Day, single spark can start a prairie fire,
Red Flag Fluttering and other large-scale memorable series. Other writers who recorded the course of the battle
with their personal prose style and became good prose structures are Ba Jin, Ding Ling, Sun Li, Wu Boxiao, Biye,
Ke Ling, Yang Shuo, Ai Xuan, Huang Qiuyun, Han Zi, Serina Liu, Feng Mu, Fang Ji, Bai Hua, Ye Nan,
Peng Jingfeng, Wu Youheng and so on. Among them, Ba Jin's Meeting with Commander Peng Dehuai, Fang Ji's Between the Waves of Hands, and Wu Boxiao's Memories in Singing are excellent works with high artistic quality and great influence. In the new period, the prose has been completely independent from the prose family because of the liberation of ideas and the opening of the topic
, which has further strengthened the news and documentary nature, and has become a big country in reportage and made a hole in the world.
The earliest training of military reportage in the new period was in the southern battlefield in 1979. As soon as the smoke dispersed,
a group of writers inside and outside the army arrived, and a group of urgent chapters were soon released. From Cliff to Smooth Road
(Lei Duo), Warrior Passing through Minefield (Zhang Tianmin), Getting the Tiger in the Door (Li Cunbao)
and many other works that won the "Essay Award for Self-Defense Counterattack" had a certain influence at that time, but they still
did not break away from the routine of communication or documentary prose in the previous 17 years, and were indispensable to reportage
.
It was the in-depth development of the ideological emancipation movement that prompted the rapid and healthy growth of reportage. In the early 198s, a large number of military journalists' long-term political acumen, ideological generalization, in-depth and meticulous interview methods and written kung fu relying on thousands of words from horses were put to use in an instant. Li Yanguo, Yuan Houchun, Qian Gang, Liu Yazhou, < P > Jiang Yonghong and Xu Zhigeng, who work as journalists or press officers, have thrown out In this land, The Great Trend of Farmers in China, The Commander of the Blue Army, The Rushing Tide, A < P > Star Rises Over the River, and The Provincial Party Committee. Attack again, China Sports World,
Developers of Dual-Use Talents, and many other novel and heavy works, and most of them stand on the forefront of the times with the attitude of a trendsetter, quickly and sharply reflect the reality and praise the reform, so they frequently win the national awards, and almost tied with the military novels of the same period, filling
points.
In the mid-198s, the situation changed. Many military reportage writers moved from
rushing to follow the tide of the times to staying in contemplation and diving into deep-water operations, from rushing for news in time to looking back at
history and digging up "snow-hidden news", and the value orientation of drawing materials was withdrawn from the vanguard to the palace army. Qian Gang
first wrote the Tangshan Earthquake, which was a 1-year sacrifice to Tangshan, and then wrote the Sea Burial, which was a 1-year sacrifice to the China Navy. He went back step by step and retreated to the depths of history. Like
, He Xiaolu extended from Marshal Chen Yi to Records of Sorrow and Joy in Jiangxi Soviet Area, and Xu Zhigeng and Cheng
Tong Yi also went back from Developers of Dual-Use Talents to Nanjing Massacre 5 years ago
and Opening the Port in Shanghai 1 years ago. This choice has played down the news color of reportage, but
deepened the historical background and strengthened the cultural content. This idea has led
the military reportage to a vast and profound rich mine. From the mid-198s to the 199s, China Revolutionary Struggle Reportage Series, China War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression Documentary Series, China Revolutionary Riot Documentary Series, Red Army Long March Documentary Series and China Liberation War Documentary Series were successively organized and launched by Liberation Army Publishing House, with nearly 1 volumes. Although mud and sand are mixed, fish and dragons are mixed, but we have also gained The Battle of Huaihai, History, Turning in Beiping, Shanghai:
1949, Northwest of Soldiers, White Sun, Red Sun, Asking for the Unknown, and White < p
In the 199s, Li Yanguo, Qian Gang, Jiang Yonghong, Yuan Houchun, Yin Weixing, Li
Quan, He Xiaolu, Tie Zhuwei, Xu Zhigeng, Zeng Fanhua, Zhang Zhenglong, Hao Zhongshu, Yang Jingmin,
Luo Laiyong, Ma Jihong, Liu Yeyong, Liu Hengzhi and others either changed jobs or switched professions. Except for Xing Junji, Cao Yan, Jiang Wanliu and a few other writers, they still
kept the image of "leading soldiers", sensed the pulse of the times with their agile hearts and skills, and quickly reflected the reform situation and real life inside and outside the military, and wrote
Commercial War in Zhengzhou, Love in Jinzhou,
Great Ups and Downs, The Sun in Northern China, and However, compared with the 198s, there has been a remarkable change, that is, they have gradually formed a relatively stable topic
material field or living base. Li Mingsheng has successively contributed "Flying to a Space Port", "Walking Out of the Global Village", "Aussie Risk Launch" and "Space Trilogy" which reviewed the development of China's space industry, and thus opened the precedent of "space literature". Xu Jian, a latecomer, set up a monument for the missile forces with "Great Power Sword" and < P > "Bird's Eye on the Earth". Wang Zongren loves the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and has launched
Sunrise Kunlun and other "Qinghai-Tibet Line Series", while Huang Chuanhui eulogized "Hope Project" with
China Rural Teachers and 8 million Poverty. In addition,
Jin Hui found another way, paying attention to the regional cultural background and humanistic spirit connotation of the subject matter, and exploring the secluded places in Tibet
, which aroused the academic interest with a novel and unique "The Temptation of Tibetan Medog", clearly
showed the new possibility for military reportage writers to surpass the army, transcend reality, and make a broader and far-reaching creation
in the 21st century.
