Novelist Yu Xiaowei
If we want to talk about Yu Xiaowei's novel creation, we can't help but talk about his novel horizon. The so-called novel horizon is the time and space that a novelist's mind can reach, especially the time and space of some human souls that natural science cannot reach and explore.
No matter the short stories "Corn Field in September", "An Examination of the Strong Men in the Anti-Union Movement", "Diary of the Seducer", "The Round Elf" and "The Weather is Fine"; Or novellas Walking in the Streets of Shenzhen, Season of Games, Miss Tao Qiong's Summer of 1944, L-Turn and Asphalt; And the novel I'm By Your Side, etc., Yu Xiaowei's novel horizon is vast and nonlinear, and the human nature touched by his spiritual eyes is both breadth and depth. His exploration and discovery of the trajectory of life's destiny, his excavation and touching of the inner and extremely secret human nature, and his wise and poetic and unique narrative of the world are often irregular, abrupt and sometimes even mysterious and confusing, instead of a simple relationship in proportion and in a straight line. This not only expanded the imagination of his novel creation, but also provided him with extremely rich narrative space for his perception and thinking about the world. More importantly, his vision of novels has extended infinite possibilities for the development of contemporary China novels.
In fact, as far as Yu Xiaowei's novel creation is concerned, his short story "The Round Elf" should be the best of his masterpieces. Although he has been selected into a variety of annual anthologies, and has been well received online and in the workshop, only occasional comments have been seen in the official media. It's a pity that his novel has not attracted enough attention in China's literary world.
a "Shunzhi Tongbao" copper coin, through the hands of countless people, such as wet nurse Xu, Langzhong, Kubing, Mr. Kangxi's private school, money banker, geisha, grave robbers, pupils Zhou Xiangli and Xu Ling, poet Qishan, etc., has performed an incredible historical legendary sad drama for more than 35 years. From the perspective of real life, this is impossible to be true. It is precisely this impossible truth that Xiao Wei's works, which are possessed by a deity, run through more than 35 years of historical changes and worldly wisdom with a copper coin, showing them vividly in front of readers, making people feel some warmth in the years and more desolation in the years.
Yu Xiaowei's "The Round Elf" is of great significance in exploring and innovating the novel text, that is, he turns the impossible in reality into the possible surreally, and makes every reader who understands this work think that the characters and stories he writes are true and credible. It is said that this novel is of great significance for text exploration and innovation, and more importantly, his planning and layout, structure and conception, description and narration, language and tension are all deliberately creating a mysterious atmosphere, so that people can understand the metaphor hidden behind the story in the mysterious and confusing situation he created. This metaphor is the copper coin. It is not only alive, but also has unknowable divinity and spirituality. Even if it is locked in the warehouse and is in danger of being returned to the furnace, it can get away safely; Even if it is buried in the grave, it can still regain the light of day; Even if modern society doesn't allow it to circulate in bronze, it has an aluminum coin. It is a real round elf, an immortal elf who can insight into history and society, torture life and humanity.
This is a novel that has never been written like this in China. It is an unrepeatable novel with innovative and pioneering text. From this, we can easily see that Yu Xiaowei has gathered great novel creativity, and has found an appropriate way to release it and a breakthrough, so we have reason to believe that his subsequent novel creation will definitely bring brand-new hope to China's literary world.
poet Zhang Zhongjun
Zhang Zhongjun is a wise poet. The vision of his inner world is extremely broad and distant. Reading his short poem "Imagining Grassland", we can deeply feel this. He spread his vision, spreading it endlessly, saying that his vision is infinitely high, not just his vision of physical time and space. This poem makes us feel the purity and sublimity of his spiritual world.
Zhang Zhongjun is a poet who has the courage to discover and take responsibility. In his poem "Basis", the poet not only saw that some people still shed tears, but also saw that not only two people shed tears, nor did they shed tears once or twice. Because there is always a part of life that is wet with tears, he still believes in life. Because the place wet with tears also has its own tears, so he still believes in part of himself. His discovery, from a positive perspective, is an affirmation of current life and people. If we carefully examine the goods, we will find that the poet is actually anxious about the current materialistic desire, which leads to the distortion of human feelings and humanity. This anxiety is a kind of responsibility, which forces us to reflect and be alert. Throughout Zhang Zhongjun's poetry creation, we can sum up the following characteristics:
Stick to humanism and humanitarianism. His poems cover a wide range of themes, but no matter what theme, they all contain humanistic and humanitarian positions. With the poet's compassion, he describes the pain, love and emotion in life, and sometimes there is a deep loss, fully expressing the subtle concern for life, and consciously embodying the sense of suffering and responsibility that a poet should have, which is particularly valuable compared with the selfishness and indifference of many contemporary poems. For example, This Moment is full of respect for mother, life and humanity. In International News, the poet's profound language hit all the consciences in the world. This is a voice that makes people tremble, and it is a longing and call for human peace.
uniqueness of discovery and originality of image. The themes of his poems are all unique discoveries of poets, so he neither repeats others nor himself. In order to effectively express uniqueness, his poetic images take novelty and unrepeatability as their aesthetic pursuit from beginning to end, and present poetry with its original power, infecting readers. For example, "a group of ants collectively moved the blue sky in their eyes/an earthworm carried the horizon on its back alone"; "More and more people go to the sun to light lamps/a bright shortcut/the imitated footprints are widened", and so on. This original image is everywhere in his poems, and it has the charm that cannot be imitated and replaced.
highlight the poetic features of brevity. Most of his poems are short, seven or eight lines, a dozen lines, and few of them exceed twenty lines. Although the poem is short, its content is rich, but there are many associations and feelings that are derived and radiated to readers. Its language is simple and clear, with profound implications, easy and leisurely, and it pushes its own experiences and feelings to a far-reaching poetic realm in a quiet way.
Poet Jiang Qingyi
Poet Jiang Qingyi is blind. Twelve-year-old boy, it is the season when his eyes are getting full, and he wants to fly to ask why flowers are so red, why fish swim in the water and why birds fly in the blue sky. But twelve-year-old Jiang Qingyi's eyes were suddenly broken by fate, and the colorful world turned into eternal darkness in front of his eyes. He was once confused and desperate. But in the end, he didn't give in to fate. From teenager to youth, he studied hard with the great eyes of maternal love. Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, nature, history, philosophy, aesthetics, literature ... In the dark, he talked with the mysterious sun, moon and stars; Dialogue with the long years of silence; Dialogue with the deep light of thought; Dialogue with lofty humanistic spirit. In the constant dialogue, the world began to become clear in his mind, and the broken eyes grew a pair of new invisible wings, flying over loneliness, darkness and despair; Fly to the blue sky, to the sunshine, to the hope. These invisible wings are his flying poems, his every line of sentences, and his real feelings and imagination about this colorful world.
