Xing Qingjie's notes on soliciting contributions

First of all, I would like to thank Time Literature magazine for providing a platform for grassroots authors to display their works. Although literary magazines are all over the country now, it seems that the author's publication is no longer a problem. However, for ordinary writers at the grassroots level, Time Literature, a national big and famous magazine, is still out of reach. Therefore, this column of Time Literature is a gospel and an inspiration for grassroots writers.

Among this group of novel manuscripts, the short story Xia Jinhua on the Balcony was written by the police writer Wang, and it is a story of self-redemption. Ling Xiaofeng avenged his parents from the beginning, and finally sent his mother who suddenly fell ill to the hospital, completing the difficult choice of moral value. Justice in the novel, grandma's love and Ling Xiaofeng's self-salvation make us feel the kindness and warmth of human nature. Han Chunshan's novella "Han Group" is one of the more distinctive ones. It tells the love and marriage story of a woman who likes to study China culture, and highlights the characteristics of the times before and after the rural land contract, as well as the influence of the transformation of the times and the ups and downs of characters' fate on a family, making it feel desolate. Feng Changxiang is a teacher who has taught in rural primary schools for many years. For more than 30 years, he has been insisting on amateur writing. His "Bare Water" was written by people, using a more traditional novel writing method, and described the ups and downs of a rural disabled person in just over 4,000 words.

Among the writers in Texas, the ranks of prose writers are relatively large, and people of all ages are at their peak. This issue of Lu's "That year, I went to be a soldier" describes the story of the author's twists and turns in the form of memories, which makes people moved by the author's indomitable spirit. Wang Jichun's essay "Traveling in Thailand" records the local customs, religious beliefs, food characteristics and scenic spots in Thailand in a gorgeous way. After reading it in one breath, it is like accompanying the author all the way south to Thailand and "wandering" in Thailand without leaving home. Li Yunxia is a talented woman with many talents. She is also the general secretary of the Texas Writers Association. She has been trying to be a "literary volunteer" and has some accomplishments in painting and calligraphy. Writing is not her strong suit. Her "Pumpkin Seedling" connects her work and life through a small vegetable plot in an urban community and expresses her different feelings about life.

About twenty-seven or eight years ago, when he was at school, his talent for poetry began to show. His poems often appeared in Texas Daily, which was in the fourth edition. In this issue, his "Shout-My Mother" and "Song for Father" were combined into a set of "For Mom and Dad" and released together. Bian Changjiu is a slow but persistent poet in poetry. As early as 1980s, he published poems in the famous magazine Yalu River. In recent years, he has never given up his pursuit of poetry after running a business. In this issue, his group poem "Heaven" is published. Liu is a college student in Beijing Film Academy. Last year, his poems just won the Outstanding Works Award of the National College Students' Essay Poetry Group in the 7th "Baoshang Bank Cup" organized by Writers.com and Baoshang Bank. According to the organizer's data, the winning 1 17 works (the sum of the first, second and third prizes and the excellent prize) were selected from more than 50,000 submissions. The poet Dong Zhang has been engaged in administrative work. Many years ago, one of his books, Talking about Employing People in the Three Kingdoms, was printed many times by the publishing house. In recent years, he devoted himself to the research and creation of ancient poetry and made great progress. He has published hundreds of poems in dozens of newspapers and periodicals such as Poetry Magazine, China Poetry and United Daily News. His poems are not only rich in materials and profound in artistic conception, but also very strict in standards. This issue presents his latest work "Ode to Russia", which involves Russian cities, people, scenery and literature, from which we can appreciate the unique exotic customs.

Finally, thank you again for the attention of time literature to grassroots authors!
