Among the writers of "new prose" emerging in recent years, Lei Pingyang is a representative writer. Lei Pingyang stepped onto the literary world with his successful poetry creation. Lei Pingyang's narrative has a subtle clarity, and there is plenty of light everywhere. The transition from clarity to shock is so simple, which shows that Lei Pingyang often finds the glitz behind everyday images.
At the same time, inspired by magical realism, the introduction of western academic and cultural achievements has had a great influence on China writers since 1980s. Lei Pingyang is a passionate and creative writer. Luis Leal, a famous Mexican literary critic, once attributed the core of magical realism to the writer's discovery and reflection on the mysteries in real life. He said: "The main feature of magical realism is not to invent a series of tasks or an imaginary world, but to discover the mysteries between people and between people and their surroundings.
The objective existence of reality deceives the mysterious relationship and is the creative source of magical realism literature. "Lei Pingyang gave birth to his own land to the world. Inspired by magical realism, Lei Pingyang focused on expressing Yunnan, a magical land with profound national traditional ideas, and the spiritual world of people living in this land in his prose works.
In Yunnan, the place where myth consciousness and religious consciousness are confused has not been fundamentally changed because of the impact of modern civilization. Lei Pingyang successfully used magic realism for reference to discover and reflect the mystery of virtue in real life, and wrote his own Yunnan.
When you read Lei Pingyang's The Blacksmith, you never laughed from beginning to end. The mountains, waters, trees and people he wrote were so cold that they were not humorous at all. What you see is a mysterious and strange story full of bloody death, ignorance, barbarism, backwardness and superstition.
Lei Pingyang not only pays attention to and expresses our inner ideological world, but also pays attention to people's actions and destiny in the objective real world. He understands human nature and the ugliness and evil in human nature derived from desire. Of course, as a contemporary writer, this should be a basic ability, not a commendable feature.
Reading Lei Pingyang's works gives me the following perceptual knowledge: coldness, heaviness, magnetism and fear. Cold and heavy. Reading, it is a cold feeling, no, more specifically, it is cold and heavy. You never laughed from beginning to end, even if you are married, you can't laugh. The mountains, water, trees and people in his works are so cold that they are not humorous at all. What you see is a mysterious and bizarre story full of bloody death and ignorance.
When Lei Pingyang tells these stories, he is deep, cold and heavy. He didn't exaggerate them, but more often he just calmly described and showed them, with little subjective judgment. Magnetic. Reading and reading, I naturally fell into the magic of its magnetic field. Indulge in its thinking and narrative angle and intensity; Indulge in the seriousness and tension of its language. It's not a reference book. Use it to turn it over. This is a bit like a blacksmith forging qualified iron tools; Indulging in his seemingly casual and rambling writing style is actually original, showing alternative or avant-garde thoughts. Fear. Reading and reading, I am full of awe for life and life. I never thought about death, so. Have no sense of urgency about time, let alone running. Reading and reading, I actually have a sad feeling, even the sad look back at the end of my life can't save myself.
Karma, animism, intensive cultivation, mutual restraint, and so on. As the root of conceptual culture, it has been continuously extended in Yunnan and China. However, few writers in China can realize their significance and function to us. It is Lei Pingyang who, in the form of prose, presents these things which are deeply rooted in everyone's consciousness in China, but are uncertain or hidden at the same time, so that we can know ourselves again in the aesthetic shock and understand the root of culture or belief buried in everyone's heart of the Chinese nation.
