Whose youth is not puffed up —— Reading Zhu Tianxin's Song of Breaking the Soil

1

Prose collection "Song of Breaking the Earth", born in 1958 in Taiwan Province.

This book has been a best seller for decades, with millions of prints. Those who praise it call it "the Grand View Garden in the first eighty chapters of a Dream of Red Mansions", while those who destroy it call it "sentient beings who don't know the sufferings of the world".

For the protagonist himself, "having their golden vows is the soul of the sealed teenager."

When this book was written, Zhu Tianxin was only 19 years old. Li Shimin/Kloc-0 conquered the world at the age of 8, Guevara traveled all over Latin America by motorcycle at the age of 22, and Bob Dylan released his first record at the age of 2/Kloc-0. Nineteen-year-old Zhu Tianxin wrote The Song of Breaking the Ground, which is not an exaggeration, is it?

The protagonist of The Song of Breaking the Earth is the author-Shrimp, a high school girl who is familiar with historical records, Li Bai, A Dream of Red Mansions and Zhang Ailing.

Napoleon was her idol, and he thought he would like to be his mistress.

She loves playing, skipping classes and eating and drinking. The streets of Taipei left her footprints. In her works:

Her youth is not confused, but full of ambition, singing a crazy song that refutes Confucius' arrogance.

She is young and not lonely, with many girlfriends and friends all over the campus. Zhu Tianwen, her sister, said that everyone knows shrimp.

Her mood is broad-minded and broad-minded, although it is only a little girl's tone, such as:

In her writing, there is no sadness, glitz, pedantry and bitterness; What is revealed between the lines is simplicity, atmosphere and neutrality, just like the old song of digging the earth:

People didn't know there was Yao Shun, so Yao Shun gained eternity in it.

Zhu Tianxin loves reading historical records, and also loves assassins, rangers, frustrated generals and tyrants in Chu.

She likes all people and things that make people boil, saying that she likes eccentricities.

She likes Xu Xilin riding a dangerous wall and watching the stars at night. She is really a teenager.

Influenced by historical records, her Song of Breaking the Earth has a sense of history. In fact, good literature is also a good history. Without Shen Congwen's Essays on Xiangxing, today's readers may never feel the unique amorous feelings of Xiangxi in the last century.

Zhu Tianxin may unconsciously look at Song of Breaking the Earth with history, but countless people have vowed to write an epic of the times, but the words left behind are as tasteless as wax.

The song of digging the earth has been done, and it has become a historical record of an era.

Youth is always a long time, which is described in many places in the book:

The Zen master said to "live in the present". Isn't the shrimp in the book living in the extreme of the moment?

Watching "Song of Digging the Earth" makes people unconsciously recall when they were seventeen or eighteen years old, and it felt very long at that time. At that time, the sky was blue, the water was clear, the air was transparent and the sunshine was always pale. The clouds are high and light, and the leaves are always swaying.

People are always idle. Although I won't walk until the water checks my path, they always sit down and look at the rising clouds.

At that time, I also listened to the campus folk songs that Shrimp likes to hear:

And plum blossom three lanes:

At the end of the article, Shrimp said:

Full of energy.
