20 19, 16 On August 6th, the protagonist won the 10th Mao Dun Literature Prize.
This is a historical masterpiece describing the growth history of famous Shaanxi opera masters, and it is also a picture scroll of the times exploring the ups and downs of the fate of good and evil in human nature. It not only focuses on the protagonist, but also jumps out of the protagonist and examines the protagonist and society.
Chen Yan, the author, said in an interview: "From the bottom of my heart, 200,000 words can be regarded as complete if I only write the inspirational history and growth history of a Shaanxi opera artist, but I want to express my cognitive changes after my social experience and gradual deepening. I wanted to find an incision to describe it, so I found a Shaanxi opera stage, found a protagonist on the Shaanxi opera stage, and then spread to the whole social stage through this stage, entering a broader social life, including the process of reform and opening up for 40 years, people's inner changes. "
I think he did it, not only did it, but also did it well.
The characters in his works have different personalities, good and evil are common and lifelike, and the stories told are ups and downs, rich and complex, and fascinating. His spoken dialect, poetry and drama are all very easy to use, and he can't extricate himself from reading. The truth he expounded and the humanity he analyzed were accurate and sophisticated, which made people applaud. The world he wrote is desolate and miserable, but it gives people eternal hope and progressive power.
After reading for nearly 24 hours, I closed the book, and my mind was like a ball of wool getting tighter and tighter. I have to try to find that thread, unfold it bit by bit, flatten it and open the knot.

It is a drama bug, a drama idiot, a legacy, and a concentration in the life blood of China culture.
At the age of eleven, Qin Yi 'e was led into the gate of the theater by her uncle Hu Sanyuan, ending the free life of herding sheep and starting her career of Shaanxi Opera. But it didn't take long to learn, and because of Hu Sanyuan's "good thing", he was sent to the kitchen to be a fire girl.
Faced with the cynicism of her classmates, she tried to escape from her hometown, but was finally persuaded by kind teachers Hu and Milan. From then on, she wrapped herself like a silkworm chrysalis and used the kitchen as a training room. She practices all the time except cooking.
The training at that time was simple and pure, not because she wanted to be an apprentice again one day, but because she did nothing but practice and didn't know what to do in the future. She is definitely a person without ambition, and her inferiority complex in her bones completely limits her thinking.
However, "the awl is packed in a cloth bag, and the sharp one will poke out sooner or later, and no one can stop it." One day, she was discovered by four old artists of Shaanxi Opera, loyal and filial. They all agree that she is a rare and good prospect of Shaanxi opera. Since then, the old artists who retired from the stage of Shaanxi Opera have made it their new life goal to cultivate her.
She can bear hardships and is not afraid of pain or fatigue. She understood the plays taught to her by the old artists, understood them thoroughly and performed them completely. She continued to be a fire girl in the countryside with the group, and her casual approach was caught by the audience. Under the strong demand of the audience and the hasty preparation of the old artists, her first stage performance began, and she surprised the audience as soon as she appeared. She vividly played Yang Paifeng, the girl who set fire to Jiao Zan. She wants martial arts and sound. She was born for Shaanxi Opera.
Then, the old artists arranged Yang Paifeng, The Journey to the West and Legend of the White Snake for her, and she was transferred from the county troupe to the provincial troupe. Since then, the reputation of the little queen of Shaanxi opera has resounded through Xijing. Then, she personally played a play written by Qin Ba Wa for her. She played a play she collected from an old artist. As long as it is her play, it will be popular. She was born for drama.
From the beginning, because of her inferiority, she opposed the play, excluded the protagonist and didn't know it. Later, she became more and more stable, went deep into the bone marrow with a general style, and completed her gorgeous turn of integration with drama.
Because she loves her tricks to the bone, she has never slacked off, and has always asked herself to finish 50 plays before she is 60 years old. However, to her surprise, Song Yu, an adopted daughter, has grown into a new generation of little queens of Shaanxi opera under her personal training, and the audience's desire and worship for Song Yu is no less than that of that year. A great sense of loss has been bothering her, and she can't let go.
When she ran to her hometown, she happened to meet her uncle Hu Sanyuan to play shadow play with her father. She worked with her uncle for three days and nights in the yard of her hometown. She sang to the end, and she and her uncle cried bitterly for their perfect cooperation and their tacit understanding of each other's achievements. In the words of her old uncle, even if she dies now, it's worth it.
Her uncle Hu Sanyuan is also a fool and a fool. All he sees is drumming, which is the only thing worth paying for in his life. He can't let sand into his eyes. When he meets a drummer who is not good at knocking, he can't hold his temper anyway. He thought it was irresponsible for the play. Without Jin Gangzuan, he can't accept this porcelain job.
In addition to them, there is also the lame head of the county troupe, Shan Tuan. He is an actor who hurt his legs and feet because of his performance. He is a leader who regards the art of Shaanxi Opera as his life. He keeps a low profile and never takes credit. In the end, he sacrificed his life to save those children who got under the stage, which was embarrassing.
The four old artists of the county troupe are also people who regard Shaanxi opera as their life. After discovering a good prospect of Shaanxi Opera and remembering Qin E, they faced cynicism at all costs, firmly taught Gou Cunzhong all their skills, taught Qin Yi E the skill of blowing fire, and put their lives on the stage they loved all their lives with their last strength.

Striving for the leading role, fame and status is the eternal human quality in the long river of history.
When E was an apprentice, he witnessed the battle between the teacher Hu and the protagonist Milan.
Hu and Milan are fellow villagers in the same village and sisters in the theater. When they studied art, they were very close to each other and talked about everything. However, when they learn to be a corner, they criticize each other and compete with each other, which makes them become strangers.
Chu Jiahe and Qin Yi 'e are disciples. The former has a good family, is a big lady in the city, and has elegant manners. The latter comes from a poor family and is a rude girl in the countryside who avoids everywhere. When Qin Yi 'e was sent to the kitchen as a fire girl, Chu Jiahe was taken care of and supported like a star holding the moon. Qin Yi 'e made a stunning appearance after being discovered by Bole, and Chu Jiahe's jealousy was out of control.
In order to pursue a higher realm, Chu Jiahe, who had nowhere to play in the county troupe, was admitted to the provincial troupe through family dredging. Unexpectedly, Yi was also transferred to the provincial troupe, and the road was narrow and met.
After Qin Yi 'e gained a foothold in the provincial group and became a hit, Chujiahe entered the camp with the goal of overthrowing Qin Yi 'e, and successively used various shameless means to deal with Qin Yi 'e, which did achieve some results. Qin Yi 'e was overwhelmed with foul language and almost lost the courage to continue singing.
Where there is fame and fortune, there is struggle. It is human nature to strive for fame and fortune. But once bad thoughts exist, they are hopeless and unreasonable, which will eventually bring shame to themselves.
I really like the author's handling of the story of Hu and Milan. Milan's level is limited because it recalls Qin E's debut, that is, she chose to quit the troupe, married a man twenty years older than herself, pursued herself constantly, and finally immigrated. After many years, I returned to China, which coincided with the changes of the times. The modern songs and dances of Qin Opera let me perform in the teahouse on the roadside, and Milan just saw the performance of Qin Yi 'e who lives by singing in the teahouse, and was shocked beyond measure by Qin Yi 'e's performance.
Milan thinks that Qin Yi E's performance is not inferior in the world, and she is an internationally renowned performing artist, and then tries to promote Qin Yi E's performance on Broadway. When the details were finally agreed, Milan asked to bring Hu and let Hu sing the old fox in The Fox Fairy Robbery. She is dreaming for Hu and herself.
At that time, Hu had retired from the county group and sold cold rice noodles in his hometown to make a living. Many years later, Milan and Hu met again. With correct memories, the three of them talked all night, confided their feelings, separated their grievances, sometimes cried and sometimes laughed, and the past was cleared up instantly.
Time can filter out everything, and those kind people will definitely throw away the dross that brought them pain in the long river of time and will definitely pick up those beautiful and warm memories.

"People who grow up in adversity have more density and quality of life."
Author Chen Yan said in an interview: "I admire those who have grown up from adversity. The more harm they do to their surroundings, the more hard they work, and the stronger they squeeze. Even those who hate their immortality can grow up with greater life density and quality. "
The Qin Yi he created is such a person with life density and quality.
Shortly after she started her career, her uncle Hu Sanyuan was put in prison. At the age of eleven or twelve, she became lonely in the county league and had to face the cold eyes of her classmates. Every time she practices eating, she hides in an empty corner. At that time, she quickly shrunk herself into a poor little turtle.
Sent to the kitchen, she was bullied by chef Liao. She stubbornly resisted and survived, but it became a stain on her life and was used by people with ulterior motives to talk about her whole career in Shaanxi Opera.
She fell in love with Feng Xiaoxiao of the county group, but she felt inferior and dared not show and accept it. When she was attracted to the Qin Dynasty, she was pestered and beaten by the misunderstood Commissioner's son, but Feng ignored her, and she became desperate and her life slipped away. Every time I think of an excellent person who has fallen to this point because of herself, she is in constant pain.
In order to prove her innocence, she dedicated herself to Liu Hongbing and married him under Liu Hongbing's repeated pestering. After giving birth to her son, Liu Hongbing couldn't stand loneliness and philandering outside. She saw it with her own eyes, and she was hit on the head. Unable to solve it, she angrily hid in a nun.
Her son was diagnosed with mental retardation, and she tried her best to visit famous doctors for her son, but in the end it was fruitless. As a celebrity in the art world, she has to bear great social pressure, even ridicule and ridicule. Like Chu Jiahe, she also proudly shows off her twin sons in front of her.
In her second marriage, she met Shi Huaiyu, a humorous and talented painter. Shi's love for her is passionate and single-minded. Just when she was monopolized by Shi, her son fell dead because his grandmother couldn't take care of him. His death was a fatal blow to her, and she was deeply immersed in regret and pain.
Shi Huaiyu also hid in the mountains because of guilt, and was born again after many years. He opened a solo exhibition for E, including the Qin Soul he painted. He thought she was the soul of Qin Opera and Qinling Mountains, but E was angry with the transparent painting method used in his works and splashed ink on his works. Shi Huaiyu, on the other hand, thought that this painting was his soul, and his soul could not survive if it was destroyed, so he cut his neck before painting.
Only under the persuasion of Qin Bawa and others did moths understand Shi's friendship and love for himself, and deeply understood that Shi was a simple, pure and even naive savage, and even regretted his behavior.
Qin Yi's plays are very popular at home and abroad. Chu Jiahe, who has always been jealous, can't stand Qin Yi's fame and fortune. In particular, she couldn't accept Qin Yi's counterattack as a girl who used to burn a fire, so she bribed the literati with her beauty and let them scold Qin Yi with the most vicious and shameless remarks. Qin Yi's energy also suffered a great blow, and she was unable to move for a time.
Recalling Qin E's life is a painful life, and the way she faces the pain is to bury it and put it in her heart, because "she deeply understands that holding back, holding back and even hiding her pain is the greatest protection for herself. It is also the best treatment for wounds. "
"Pain tells others that it can only prolong pain, increase pain, and reduce pain is useless."
Recalling Qin E's life is a life of adversity. She seems to be used to adversity. In the face of adversity, she did not shy away and let the storm attack her. Practice is her solution to difficulties. Sleep is her medicine to resist the blow. She held her breath and walked through the smog, finally welcoming the warm sun. She shattered all condescension and censure with her simplicity and simplicity. She accepted the complexity and dross of this world with her tolerance and compassion.
No one can escape difficulties and setbacks, and there is no life without adversity. In the face of suffering and adversity, when you wade through the water, your life experience will be heavier and your courage to face setbacks will be greater.

All beings are poor and should be merciful.
I can't stand loneliness and divorce easily, and I live a drunken life. He was disabled by a car accident on his way out to play, and his parents who have been taking care of him no longer care about him. He was alone and helpless, and he couldn't take care of himself. The nurse found him a nurse, and the nurse gave him a stick, which was extremely bad. It was because Liu Hongbing promised to pay his debts that he became powerless.
Qin Yi shed tears when she learned all this about Liu Hongbing. She thinks Liu Hongbing is too poor now. She borrowed money to support her son. Even though she is disabled and incapable, she still remembers that she is a father. She forgave him at once.
Liao, stained by the memory of his life, can only spend his old age in a wheelchair. E was relieved when she overheard Liao drooling in a wheelchair and muttering that she had been sorry for E all her life. Compared with life and death, what can people live?
There is also Shi Huaiyu, who ended up committing suicide, leaving his last words to his wife and parents, which is embarrassing.
If people only look at the problem from their own point of view and stand, they can't analyze and treat it outside the time and space and contingency of the event, which will only bring them infinite troubles and doubts.
Life is not easy. If you understand the differences and helplessness between people in identity, status, situation and position, you will think more and be more tolerant.
