-Reading Li Ding's prose collection "The Distant Village"
Ao Hongliang (poet, critic and scholar)
Turning life into words is the sublimation of life —— Inscription
As soon as he opened the book, he stepped into the distant countryside, while Li Ding stepped into the city step by step-from the village teacher to the reporter and director of the county TV station, and then to Baicheng as the deputy editor and editor-in-chief of The Green Field. The road from the village to the city is not long. He has walked for more than 20 years. His life is still under his feet. ...
I have the opportunity to decide to visit his village and feel the local customs described by the author. Go and listen to The Voice of the Country. Has it changed? ; Go and see the lark's home on the grassland (the grassland is the lark's home). Has the grassland been destroyed? ; Go to the Great Meadow to find Li Ding's childhood (The Love of Childhood in the Great Meadow); The mountain you climb is called carp (Thanksgiving Carp Mountain); Go to the east Woods and see if there are any trees there. ; Go to Xiheli (fishing in Xihe) to see if the river water and fish are alive? ; Go to Mao Mao Road to see the seal of Mao Mao Road; Go and see what "Brothers Tree, Genealogy" looks like. ; Is it still cold to go to the "cold reed"? ; Go for a stroll on "There is a dirt road behind the village"; Go to Niu Drive ("Niu Drive, A Thick Village History") to read the village history; Listen to the firecrackers in Xiaotun during the Spring Festival.
People, scenery, things and things in the village all live in his pen. Between the lines, there is a smell of fragrant (rural) soil and that kind of eternal gratitude complex.
There are many mothers in the village, such as it's good to have a mother, her flowered coat, eternal smile, chicory in July, and always thank her, Daduanhe mother river, and her mother sent you home. Mom is great.
Li Ding is a writer who grew up in the countryside. His prose has a strong, simple and sincere flavor of rural life.
Distant villages show truth, goodness, beauty and gratitude. This is the spirit of prose.
Literature can change life, and poetry can change fate. Li Ding's life track is also being changed. Two went to Beijing to sign books.
Far-off Village is about family, teachers, neighbors, friends and brothers, a bug and a bird. One river and one fish; A reed and a tree; One snow, one mountain and the folklore of Kanto constitute the emotional elements of the village. But the village can't tolerate his gratitude. He used words to create works that people loved and reflected the great development of rural areas, occupying a mountain in the field of literature and forming his own unique style.
I hope there are more such people in the society: Shang Zhigang of "Give me a ride"; Liu Yaoguang who borrowed a bag of millet; "My three teachers" are Liu and Gao Erren; Aunt Wang in I can tell who you are by the sound. The more the better-building a harmonious society plays an important role.
I hope there will be more writers like Li Ding in the society. A person's success can drive a family, a family and a society to change. Li Ding has succeeded, and society is not afraid of more people's success!
I read 74 of his essays (Dragonflies in Dreams, Traced Evidence, an affectionate letter, and four series of exploring distant places) and thought deeply.
I am reminded of the words of Ling Dingnian, a world-famous short story writer: an excellent writer should let contemporary readers better understand his times by reading his works; At the same time, it will also help future generations to understand this era and provide them with a reference without adulteration.
As the saying goes.
Li Ding's The Distant Village is a reference for villages in 1960s and 1970s. It is worth reading by people today and people in the future.
Li Dingge and I said: Your village is going out of Baicheng; Will go out of Jilin; Will go out of China and become a lasting phenomenon, affecting the society.
I once said: when your book is reprinted, publish the comments and feelings written by others. This is a cultural phenomenon.
Although the village is far away, the true feelings are always there!
