2. Poetic Beauty of Sun Li's Novels Sun Li (19 13—2002) was originally named Sun Shuxun and was born in Anping, Hebei.
He once published an article in Ta Kung Pao under the pseudonym "Yunfu". /kloc-participated in the Anti-Japanese War in the winter of 0/937, worked in Jinchaji News Agency and Jinchaji Daily, and taught in Jizhong Anti-Japanese War College and North China General Association.
1944 went to Yan 'an Luxun College of Literature and Art to study and work. 1949 Editor-in-Chief of Literature and Art Supplement of Tianjin Daily.
He used to be a director and consultant of the Chinese Writers Association and chairman of the Tianjin Writers Association. His main works are the short story Lotus Lake, the novella Village Song, The Prequel of Tiemu, the novel Fengyun Story and the Collected Works of Sun Li.
The Chronicle of Baiyangdian focuses on the anti-Japanese struggle of Baiyangdian people in central Hebei. Among them, "Lotus Lake" was written in 1945, describing that in a rural area, seven young people were ready to join the army and signed up in the county seat. They were afraid that their family would hold them back, so they suggested that Shui Sheng go back and explain to his family.
Two days later, the daughters-in-law of these young people wanted to meet their husbands who joined the army. They secretly sat in a small boat and rowed to the opposite Mazhuang. But the army just left the night before.
On their way home, they met a Japanese ship. When they rowed the boat into Lotus Lake, an army ambushed in the lake gave the Japanese a head-on blow, sank the enemy ship and wiped out the Japanese army. Only then did they realize that what they wanted to see was their new husband who saved their life at a critical moment.
The soldiers completed the task, met their lovers again, and happily moved to other places with trophies. This autumn, this group of women also learned to shoot and fought with their children until winter.
The works affirmed the people's war, enthusiastically praised the heroic and optimistic revolutionary spirit of the people in the base areas, and showed a specific "beauty of human nature". The artistic expression is unique and poetic, which realizes the perfect combination of ideological content and artistic form, embodies the distinctive features of Sun Li's novels and creates a new realm of "poetic novels" in anti-Japanese literature.
Influenced by the creative style of Lotus Lake, the first literary school in New China-Lotus Lake School once appeared in the literary world.
3. An article commemorating Sun Li-a lonely and blank space
As if the mouse slipped lightly, a message appeared on the Internet. The friend on the other end of the phone only said: Oh, Sun Li passed away. Let's avoid this matter and continue to talk about the topic that was interrupted just now. It is warm and urgent to talk about the reality close to our existence. At that moment, Sun Li, a writer of flesh and blood, still seemed so far away, just like an ink painting I saw in my childhood, dusty in a box of memories. It takes a while to remember the feeling of love.
At night, I surf the Internet and order Sun Li. There is not much news, but all my works are kept. When I saw the stories of Lotus Lake and The Tempest, which were familiar to me since I was a teenager, I suddenly felt a little sad. I thought that the years were ruthless, and the love I once had could be forgotten and I could feel at ease. The reason is very good. He is just a writer who read his works as a teenager, and nothing has happened in recent years. But at the same time, ask yourself, are those touched writers really worth cherishing as always? Who can entangle that treasure with his hometown complex? I have never been out of the city when I was a teenager, but I always feel kind when I appear in the Central Hebei Plain under his pen. Knowing that it belongs to the north naturally corresponds to the Guanzhong Plain. The same flat, the same wheat fragrance. There are concubines like Shuishui and Shuishuisao, and boys and girls like Chun Er and Busy. What is missing is the lotus swing all over the sky, and there is no touching layer. That is the most touching part of Sun Li's works. Belonging to the north, the air is mixed with the clarity and meaning of life, which can be smelled and felt.
When the gunfire in the reeds came with the water vapor of Lianhua Lake, the image of the revolution was gently covered by love. The aquatic sister-in-law in the moonlight is like a freehand painting, which is always full of duplicity and false resentment, but it also shows the openness and closure of northern women. She is like my sister-in-law, or my sister-in-law is very much like her-in my childhood when I often confuse novels with reality, Sun Li's novels are an important basis for me to know my hometown people. Finding realistic prototypes for the characters in each novel was my most secret joy at that time. It is in this sense that Sun Li satisfied me to the greatest extent. It also increased my fascination with my hometown, because there are so many people floating there. I once sat in a movie theater in a small town and watched its film version of The Tempest. I still remember the faces of the actors who played Chun Er and Mangzhong. Boys are tiger-like, while girls have the charm of country girls. The scene of a girl mending a boy's shoulder coat and chewing a thread in the room is like the scene of an aquatic sister-in-law poking with her finger. This is still the love in the revolutionary period, but it shows the infinite affection between English and speechless.
When I was eighteen, I went on a long trip, and then I drifted away from my hometown. Is the gap between reality and psychology. Sun Li's name is as barren as his hometown, because it is really not mentioned. In the 1980s, I saw Jia Pingwa talking about his influence on his own creation. At that time, when reading Jia Pingwa's prose, you can generally see the same elegant feelings, but later, even reading Jia Pingwa changed a little.
In the literary history of the 20th century, there are always some names re-emphasized, and literary historians like to reposition them, either as treasures or as things of the past, which has aroused heated discussions in the media. But Sun Li is not one of them. He is also publishing books, but most of them are books and essays. After reading Sun edited by Mr. Jiang Deming, I feel that a life is sinking. In a yellowed classic and historical subset, I express my thoughts in my twilight years and taste the vicissitudes of the past. The turbulent years in the central Hebei plain have gone without a trace, leaving only a review of traditional culture. Is he doing what he wants to do most in his life? I can't find the answer in the book, but somehow, I think this is the most essential aspect of his life. If he was born in ancient times, I would imagine that he was a poet who sang on the road of Song Dynasty. His quiet and full life, when solidified, is a Song painting with many blanks.
Such a person is worth tasting like time. A matter of life and death is not suitable for online speech, even if it is very short. Too much action and shit can't help but seem abrupt. It is also gratifying to see the news that it was raining in Tianjin when he died. I paid special attention to it, but fortunately it was light rain.
4. The poetic beauty of Sun Li's novels and the poetic reality Sun Li's last words are meaningful: "The literary road I take is realistic.
Some critics used to call me petty bourgeoisie, but now they call me romantic. Their statement is not in line with reality.
Some comments are often irrelevant because they have reversed right and wrong. For example, the excellent works of realism that they once admired, after the relentless impulse and test of time, often show such a process: bluffing.
Soaring in the air, wandering in space, dazzling, three to five years, suddenly falling-such a short process similar to satellites, and their works, such as Xia Lian, broke through the ground or rose to the surface a few years later, their vitality did not fade. "The difference between him and some other writers is that he often retains the original features of events in his life, thus making his realistic creation more simple and natural.
This is not to deny his efforts in art; On the contrary, it fully reflects his aesthetic views on art and his high achievements. Sun Li's creation has such a style. On the one hand, although the eventful autumn he experienced was literary and dramatic, it formed the plots and characters in his later works. On the other hand, it is his rigorous and serious realistic spirit and psychological tendency of attaching importance to feelings and righteousness that makes it easier for him to cling to those lives that have deeply touched him.
His creative practice shows that among many writers, Sun Li is a person who pays more attention to facts and feelings. This increases the realistic weight and emotional weight of his works and improves the realistic quality of his works.
Take "Memories of a Mountain Residence" as an example, he said, "I only describe those people who I find lovely, and such people account for the majority in real life. They are countless in my memory. "
"When I write about them, I use colored pens to enthusiastically push them into the sun and spring breeze. In those precious hard years, the feelings I established with the people were indeed like this.
My duty is to present this feeling in a true, high-profile and heavy way. After entering the city, I already feel that this kind of personality, this kind of life and this kind of emotion will become more and more precious.
So in the middle of writing, I showed my deep love for her and these characters irresistibly. "("Memories of the Mountain ").
Although everything in "Memories of a Mountain Residence" has nothing to do with sleeves, it has something to do with weaving and buying cloth. The writer did not forget that during the war, a simple and kind girl sewed a pair of strong cloth socks for him in the mountains.
What the writer cherishes more is the girl's sincerity in sewing socks, her immeasurable feelings for this work, and the indomitable and optimistic nature of a nation. It is always this feeling and nature that nourishes the writer's mind.
He added: "A writer is always the guardian of truth, goodness and beauty in real life". The influence of Sun Li's relatively short working practice as a journalist on Sun Li's literary life and road is still a blind spot in Sun Li's research.
In my opinion, no matter whether there are many news reports and literary newsletters written by Sun Li for news agencies and newspapers, the works themselves greatly promote the close integration of Sun Li with the times, with real life and with the people, and also greatly promote the close integration of Sun Li as an observer, reporter, participant and reflector of contemporary life. The important feature of Sun Li's works is the profound description of real feelings and the unity of strong romantic atmosphere.
This is inseparable from his aesthetic observation and artistic pursuit, which is one and two, and two and one. Otherwise, it is impossible to "express the ultimate truth, goodness and beauty."
Sun Li has said more than once that he likes the works of Pushkin, Merimee, Nikolai Nikolai Gogol, Chekhov and Gorky. "I like the romantic atmosphere, poetry and the pursuit of beauty in their works." Such works "conform to my temperament and my spleen and stomach. In these novels, you can see more passionate emotional realms. "
In Sun Li's view, poetry and novels, beauty and people's feelings, temperament, romance and realistic description can and should be combined and unified. These writers he likes reflect this, and so do his own works. Here, the most important and basic thing is that the writer observes the depth of life and the height of thought.
Sun Li constantly teaches young writers not to write about superficial phenomena in life and nature, and not to just "capture" those superficial so-called "beautiful" or "poetic" things, but to inject the spirit of the times and the noble and beautiful thoughts and feelings of the people into artistic images. He said, "The so-called' beauty' should not be divorced from the long scroll of real life."
To illustrate this problem, he made such a metaphor: "There is a bird flying in the sky or crowing in the forest, which can be said to be beautiful or poetic." But this kind of flying and crowing is related to the whole life history of birds and the whole nature.
This may be related to sunny days or thunder of storms. If we cut off all these connections, catch this bird, stifle its vitality, cut open its internal organs, fill it with thatch, put it as a specimen in a beautiful glass box, and still say that this is the beauty of the bird', this is its poetry.
This is thousands of miles away. Here we can understand the essence and characteristics of Sun Li's poetry creation. The activities of the characters in his works and the "flying" or "crowing" of the "bird" are all related to the whole life history of people and "birds" and the whole nature. He is really good at expressing "sunny day" or "thunderstorm" through the description of each specific image, which is impressive.
This is the power of his realism and romanticism. Sun Li's unique artistic style is to pursue prose style, poetic artistic conception, painting in poetry and poetry in novels.
Language has its own characteristics: simple, fresh and soft, like the bright moon in the blue sky and the clear spring in the mountain stream. Show the richness of the characters with simple dialogues.
