Who is the cutest person? Who was the first to shout out the voice of the times and the people? It's the writer Wei Wei.
The cutest person and cutest person of a new generation has become synonymous with the People's Liberation Army of Chinese people's Volunteer Army and China in contemporary China.
Who is the cutest person is a well-known work, which has been circulated at home and abroad, and has been selected as a national middle school Chinese textbook, inspiring and educating several generations.
1951April1kloc-0/Wei Wei's article "Who is the cutest person" was published in the headline of the first edition of People's Daily. Mao Zedong's instructions after reading: "Print and distribute to the whole army".
Zhu De praised again and again after reading it: "Well written! Very good! "
When Zhou Enlai spoke at 1953, the second conference on literature and art, he pushed aside his speech and said loudly into the microphone, "Who is Comrade Wei Wei here? Did you come today? Please stand up, I want to know this friend (at this time, the audience looked at Wei Wei who stood up from his seat and applauded warmly), and I thank you for giving our soldier the title of' the cutest person'. " The article is of historical significance, and The Lovely Man is a contribution of Wei Wei.

For Wei Wei, what impressed me the most was "Who is the cutest person". Who is the cutest person can be said to be a classic. In the 1950s, this work made "the cutest person" synonymous with volunteers. After so many years, the word "the cutest person" still exists in our life across time and space: anyone who has contributed to and touched the society can become the cutest person in our hearts, which I think is a contribution of Wei Wei.
It can be said that in the 1950s, the influence of this work was still great, but for today's society, after all, there is a great distance between the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China and now, and the social environment has also undergone great changes. I don't think there were many transparent and clear minds in Wei Wei's time. Nowadays, the society has changed too much, the business atmosphere is too strong, and people's thoughts have become very complicated. It is difficult to find the thoroughness at that time, but that era still had its limitations. From a historical perspective, Wei Wei's article is of historical significance. The departure of the older generation of writers may mean the slow end of an era, but it also means the arrival of a new era. It makes us cherish the ordinary happiness around us, and the spirit left by that era will always exist.

Who is the cutest person appears not only in my textbook, but also in my test paper. This is an article that I can recite fluently. This article vividly describes the scene of the volunteers fighting bloody battles in those days. It is a work that has touched generations, and it also gives us the concept of "who is the cutest person".
Although many people don't know this work now, everything described in this work is true. Although several generations have passed, the words in the article can inspire people's feelings and make people understand that the ordinary and peaceful life we enjoy is protected by national defense. It can be said that people can still cherish the ordinary happiness around them.
Hearing the news of Wei Wei's death, I have a feeling that the era of Wei Wei is getting farther and farther away from us, but I believe that the spirit left by that era will always be there. "Who is the cutest person" is comparable to a historical document and has written a real red classic.
-Chen Zishan (Professor, Chinese Department, East China Normal University)
Who is the cutest person has a great influence. According to the present statement, this work truly reflects the fighting life of the volunteers during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and its role is equivalent to the historical documents in the history of contemporary literature. This reportage is studied as a left-wing reportage in our research field and belongs to a red classic. And I think the red classic can only be regarded as "Who is the cutest person", which had a positive influence at that time. Looking back now, of course, there are limitations of the times, because there are certain expressions in writing to resist US aggression and aid Korea. Today only reflects a part of truth, but all literary works can't be true, and there will always be limitations. It had such a great influence at that time, and I think it should be given a proper historical position.
Personally, I think, in Wei Wei's whole creative career, Who is the cutest person surpassed his novel The Oriental, which won the Mao Dun Literature Prize, because Who is the cutest person has great social influence, is very touching and has a strong literary nature, and even today it is still very touching, so this topic is very emotional. At that time, there were many works to resist US aggression and aid Korea, such as Ba Jin's Reunion, but from the big historical background, who is the most lovely person is the most prominent and representative. It is very kind to read, and there are few dogmas. Historical value is higher than literary value, which is very helpful to understand people's thoughts at that time.
-An Zhi (famous critic)
What I am most familiar with is Wei Wei's Who is the cutest man. If we want to evaluate its literary status, I think the evaluation of a work should have two levels of understanding. One is the understanding of the history of literature, which depends on its literary value, rather than whether the author was recognized by the mainstream literary circles at that time. For example, The Selected Poems of Tang Poetry didn't include Du Fu's poems at that time, but this can't hide his literary value. This is a literary history evaluation of a work. Personally, the literary history value of who is the cutest person is limited.
Some works have a great influence on history and help to understand people's thoughts at that time. I think "Who is the cutest person" is like this. It is the material to understand the times and should be placed under the framework of history. This meaning is not the meaning of literature.
This work is very touching, but there are also many touching places. Perhaps it was thought to have literary significance at that time, but I think the importance of this work is still reflected in its historical value, which is undoubtedly higher than the literary value!
