So in front of Rui Xian's words, it is almost impossible for you to think or stop to meditate. In desperation, you have to walk with her, breathe with her, share the bitterness of life and the fragrance of thoughts. I have seen Gong Zizhen's masterpiece "Four Sentences in a Dream No.2" before. At the end of the sentence, there is "the sea red curtain shines at the end of the month, and the four squares of flowers are full of anger". I always feel good in my heart, but I can't say why. After reading these new prose works of Rui Xian this time, I seem to have some practical experience. I'm a little surprised to think that I have said so many good things about the author since I came up. I hope it won't mislead readers. Fortunately, there are texts in this field, which I believe should stand the test. What's so good about Rui Xian's article? If I have to say it, my answer is very simple, first, because it is rich in content, and second, because it has true feelings. The writing knowledge taught in these Chinese classes in middle schools, no matter how despised by young and arrogant people at first, actually tells the true meaning of prose.
There is a story in the Quotations of Tangzi Opera written by the Song people: Dongpo went to Dingwu and passed by Shijingting in a garden outside the city. When I was eighteen, I paid tribute to it. I asked, "What books do you read?" Yu Yun: "You can read the Book of Jin." The pawn asked, "Is there a good pavilion name?" I didn't know what my predecessors' reading intention was ... In my imagination, Rui Xian must have heard of this work, so her pen always revolves around the word "secular", which is neither the petty bourgeoisie habit of fashionable little women's prose at that time, nor the antique interests and tendencies in the literati circle, nor the style that foreigners speak Chinese or China people speak foreign languages. Her words are simple and peaceful, and the faint charm between the lines is always verifying her former identity as a poet. This meaning, if brodsky comments on Zvetayeva, should be called "the blood flow of poetry in the context of prose."
Over the years, because I have been engaged in writing, I once had an opinion about writing. I like to classify all the works I read into three categories: "talk in a dream", "talk in ghosts" and "talk with people". Among them, speaking human words is the most difficult and important. Why? Because in my understanding, this way of speaking is not only a question of the writer's attitude and position, but also a test of talent and skills. Pound said: "The accuracy of statements is the only morality of writing." Wang Yangming said: "People's poems should first take the true meaning; For example, it is good for a boy to worship him. If you put on a mask and pretend to have a beard, it will be very annoying. " They should mean the same thing. Therefore, it's really not easy to speak people's words in works that are not fake or unconventional. Rui xian's prose can be roughly classified as the latter.
Emotional input has not only become the source of living water in Rui Xian's articles, but also the root of life that stubbornly extends to the depths of his thoughts. Whether recalling the time spent in rural hometown or recording the trivial daily life around us, it is like looking at yourself in a real mirror, always interweaving individuals with reality, life and secular world of mortals, and it is difficult to distinguish each other. In this sense, reading Rui Xian's prose is actually equivalent to facing a part of life itself.
This mirror is sometimes used by Rui Xian to aim at the dead and the ancients, such as the romantic figure Xiang Yu more than 2,000 years ago. I am willing to believe that the heroic spirit of the overlord of Chu must have heard the wonderful spiritual dialogue of long-distance love in the 20,000-word long article "Meeting Wujiang River". Yesterday, Li Qingzhao said in a poem that "life is a hero and death is a ghost." I still miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong. "Today, Rui Xian has written" Survival of the fittest, Xiang Yu always dies, and only Liu Bang is left. In an era without heroes, we are so lonely! ""the world is surnamed Liu, what's the difference; What if it belongs to Han Chu? ! I died, not because of the shame of failure, not because of despair of life! " "People always need an upright bone to support them, or they are no different from dogs that walk on four legs! "
-This generation is fierce and lamentable, and the whole life is lucky. Besides his concubine, there are at least two other confidantes in this world, one is Yi and the other is our Ms. Ruixian.
In addition, it is said that it is the most difficult to talk about a writer's works by knowing people and discussing the world. I wonder what the famous writer Mr. Mo Yan Xihui thinks? Because there are two masterpieces in the book, "Reading Mo Yan with trepidation" and "Encountering Mo Yan", both of which are about his novels. They are the kind of novels that listen to his strings and understand his voice but feel the harmonious heartbeat of the sacred unicorn. Because the author can be so careful in the article, when the scenery of history and reality, the notes of nature and life are carefully brought into her field of vision, she can show the most beautiful and true nature in the details, so that the most true tone of fate can be found in both the grand framework and the tiny details, awakening the readers' sleeping tremor and * * *.
As I said before, Rui Xian didn't seem to talk too much about his life, only that he was from a certain place in Shandong, spent his girlhood in his hometown and now works in Beijing. Generally speaking, women with high artistic talent seem to have no fate with a happy life in reality. In the old saying, it is called unlucky woman. The author's situation is unknown, but through a few words in the book, we can more or less taste the hardships and bitterness of life and see a modern intellectual woman trying to integrate into the embarrassing state of secular life. This point, in fact, Ruixian himself mentioned in the postscript-"Fate finally forced me to become a writer". A word "forced" can be said to be the best news. It is precisely because of a strong sense of fatalism that these emotional words written by Rui Xian look more like a road construction project, paving the road under her feet to the ideal distance one meter at a time. There, my hometown became a corner of the castle peak in my dream, out of reach, amiable but out of reach.
Where will people who have lost their homes settle down? This kind of accumulation stems from an unprovoked feeling, and together with Holderlin's famous saying "Man lives poetically on the earth", it inadvertently constitutes a spiritual question and answer. Although one is a recognized master in the literary world and the other is an ordinary friend around him, there seems to be a secret passage in the middle that has been communicating with these wandering souls.
Perhaps it is this unremitting pursuit that awakens the hometown complex in our blood and bone marrow. Therefore, when I read the chapters such as Gorgeous Desolation, Terrace of Vicissitudes, Whispering flute in Autumn Mountain, Life is like a Epiphyllum, Poetry is like a Star, and Green Leaves Miss Roots in the dead of night, I feel a voice hovering overhead, asking questions. This voice is not only the writer Rui Xian's sharp protest against reality and life, but also the long echo of fate in my own heart. -Famous poet and scholar: Ke Ping's prose is a pioneer prose that breaks through the rhythm of general prose. No matter its thought, strength and thickness, there is a feeling that people can touch it after reading it. Is the only one in the prose world. Rui Xian's prose gives people a feeling of great sadness and beauty, which is not only fresh in artistic conception, but also profound and pure in connotation. It can be said that there are few such wizards in the prose world. I think Rui Xian has many unique feelings about life, life and everything in the world. Rui Xian's prose is always so sad and beautiful. In her works, everything in the world has a gloomy side, such as the difficulty of survival and the shortness of life. She wrote: "When the autumn wind swept through the wilderness, the generous and old sunflower became old. Its slender pole can no longer bear the weight of maturity ... it looks haggard and heavy, just like all mothers in the world, because of the vicissitudes of life. "
Rui Xian's novels are also excellent, such as Kidnapping. This kind of life is by no means an experience that a young writer can have. What she writes is very specific and true. Every grass and tree near the cave where the meat pokes and meditates makes people feel vivid, so vivid, concrete and sensible, and the differences between the characters described are vivid, as if it happened yesterday. Rui xian's novels condense long stories into short stories, which need very skillful description.
Rui Xian's masterpiece Like Two Tombs tells the images of two wives and concubines before liberation, and criticizes the old idea that old China pushed human nature to the limit. The author wrote that the death of "Auntie" was almost terrible: "Auntie was lying opposite the place where her mother had been lying, as white as snow, her hands were like dead branches, and her face was as dry as walnuts in late autumn. My trembling hand slid down her face, and I touched her horrible little feet for the last time, and I touched my breasts countless times-it had shrunk into two green beans and stuck them on my chest ribs. " The author wrote about the graves of "Auntie" and "Auntie", and every word was shocking: "I cried my eyes out at the graves of two mothers ... Fate brought two unrelated women together, and the grievances were entangled for a lifetime. When they return to the soil, they have their own real dignity and status. The paper line burns and the clouds go west ... The graves of the two mothers are closely attached, just like a pair of inseparable breasts. " In a desolate literary scene, if there are more Rui Xian, then the literary world may be promising. Rui Xian, a young woman writer, can be said to be a rare talented woman in the literary world! -movie master Shen, a famous playwright. I'm glad I found you in my lifetime. We were all young, but none of us had your talent. Young man, write well, and one day, you will be my pride! -Shen, the mentor of the famous playwright Rui Xian, Rui Xian is plain-looking, intelligent and talented. She can write both poems and essays. She has got rid of the daily experience, the collision between inner feelings and the outside world, and the contradiction between rules and dreams, which makes people forget the flashy reality and stare at or savor it. Language is full of elasticity, trying to deconstruct or dilute the boundary of referential meaning, making people forget the uncertainty of time and space, thus giving people a feeling of beauty, peace and distance. —— former editorial director of Poetry magazine and editor-in-chief of Kou Zongge.
I like Rui Xian's novella Kidnapping very much. It makes a serious kidnapping incident humorous and vivid, which seems to be rare in current novels. -Li, editorial director and young critic of Literary Theory and Criticism.
In the second half of the thought, a heart lamp is eagerly radiating warm light. This is the big world in Rui Xian's Small World: sensitive, cautious, nervous and clear, and responsive to everything. As long as it comes, it will be unforgettable and precious. Ruixian performs his own light like a bullet, and the happiness of the penetrator stands around life. -the famous writer Liu Yilin.
Rui Xian's writing style is as straightforward and graceful as her character. Her works are simple, but as strong as land and wine. Her writing world is as beautiful and light as a dragonfly, but sometimes it is too heavy to breathe. In fact, this expression is not an unbalanced or weightless ecology, but because it is the hottest expression in the depths of life, which is honest and dependent on life and death. This kind of life-oriented writing is not only the necessary oxygen for life, but also a good medicine for an era characterized by materialism and money. Unfortunately, this writing tradition left over from the era of The Book of Songs and Historical Records has been getting farther and farther away from us. Ruixian's expression has narrowed the distance between us and words, which makes her an unusual writer. -Jason, deputy editor-in-chief of Xinhua Monthly.
Rui Xian's "Bush and Our Life" (novella) is well written and I like it very much. In fact, dog Bush is a portrayal of my life-a portrayal of my life after I lost my subjectivity and grew up in a golden cage. The despair of dogs and human beings are intertwined, which raises a question: what kind of life do we need? In fact, this is a criticism and reflection on all the current life logic based on material (money). Once upon a time, we thought that money was omnipotent, but now, we know that it is by no means omnipotent. Not only that, it even suppresses people's vitality.
This is probably what Marx called "alienation".
At present, such literary thoughts are extremely valuable. —— Editor-in-Chief of Lu's Selected Novels
This is the most touching text I have read in recent years. Rui Xian is a magician, and every role of her is alive. Under her command, words try their best to achieve its signifier and signified, and the beauty of language is fully revealed in her works. Her story may be simple, but her narrative is very attractive. She often creates a small narrative maze for us. In this maze, we will meet all kinds of people, even animals connected with human nature, but we will not lose our way. Her narrative is like a slowly unfolding picture scroll, showing a dagger stabbing the depths of human nature, but the picture scroll is full of human feelings and the world is cold. Reading her works is like having a long-awaited date with an uncertain future. When we are waiting with flowers in our arms, we will find something mysterious coming all the way to us in the distance, surrounding us, and then willingly drowning us. This mysterious thing has a beautiful and melancholy name. Its name is heartbreaking beauty. -Wang Chenghai, executive editor of Creation and Criticism
Rui county is my hometown. In that magical land, the Wang family is a literary family. Wang Yuyang (Wang Shizhen, a native of Zhucheng, Shandong Province, and later moved to a new city), a literary leader in the early Qing Dynasty, was one of the best. After the May 4th Movement, Wang Tongzhao (who was once as famous as Mao Dun), Wang Xijian, Wang Yuanjian and other literary masters appeared. Rui Xian is a rising star of the Wangs. Her literary creation began with poetry and gradually expanded to prose, novel, criticism, drama and other literary systems. She observes the world with women's warm eyes, and from her unique spiritual feelings, she has created many literary works with different styles, profound thoughts, beautiful brushwork and outstanding personality. She is a crescent moon rising in the literary world of China, emitting charming and warm light. -the famous poet Dong Peilun
Rui Xian is good at combining emotion and coldness with simplicity and humor in her works, so her words can wander between lightness and profundity in a sense. She is a woman writer who can find her own narrative texture and language atmosphere. I hope her potential will be brought into full play in the future. -Niu Jianzhe, editor of Yalu River magazine
Her works have a quiet and shocking power and a great realm, but the writing is very simple, and I was caught unconsciously. I really don't know what words to use to express my excitement. She can write so profound about the human nature of animals that a casual sentence is very powerful. It seems calm, but in fact it is undercurrent. This is the power of literary works. I believe her works will shine brilliantly. -Rui Xian, editor-in-chief of Mi Yue's Prose Poetry World, my favorite writer. Her smile has always been her symbol, sweet. Her works constantly inspire and reflect on me. As a weak woman, she can shoulder the moral burden; As a writer, she has written many good articles that everyone agrees with.
She is my close friend. I know her better than her works. She is kind-hearted, introverted and talented. After understanding her personality, it is not surprising why she can write such a good work!
She is not a peony, but an orchid in a deep valley. No publicity, no trace. She speaks with words and proves it with works. Rich life experience, persistence and stubbornness, coupled with extraordinary talent, unified her artistic temperament! Her calm and elegant beauty adds charm and lasting fragrance to the literary palace! -poet Liu Huijuan
When reading Rui Xian's essays, poems or novels, I am always infected and infiltrated by a force. What kind of brushwork is that? It not only has a poetic leap, but also has the wisdom, sensitivity and epiphany of joining the WTO, which is far away from the worldly natural clarity and leads China to wash away. What kind of feeling is that? It's so beautiful, it makes people feel sweet and clear, it's too painful, it goes straight to the depths of the soul, it's too rich, it makes people feel bloated and hard to let go. -young writer looking at the moon in the red chamber
Rui xian often uses a kind of words that can only be understood but not expressed, creating an incomprehensible and unreasonable maze context, which is even more incomprehensible from the other side of the mountain. Her unique cultural beauty has brought fresh breath to this literary world.
Pure and transparent, childish as a virgin, she will always be a child who will never grow up, but she is the last "nun" in contemporary monasteries. She doesn't have great joys and sorrows, and the materialistic world seems far away from her. Melancholy eyes, faint sadness, like a helpless bird, and like a frightened rabbit surprised to face the unpredictable world. No desire, no struggle, no need, unusual indifference and extreme rejection of material and fame and fortune, which is difficult for ordinary people to understand. —— Writer Bing Xi
A writer once said that Rui Xian's experience doomed her to be different from her peers ... She climbed the literary peak to a higher level, and she was recognized as a talented woman. It should be noted that in the current noisy, frivolous and fame-seeking literary creation atmosphere, it is rare for writers to calm down and express themselves sincerely. Rui Xian is such a writer. -Writer Fu Lin
Holding up Rui Xian's book, unconsciously, lines of beautiful words are like an invisible rope, which firmly holds my heart and brings me to a profound artistic conception. In a short period of time, the sidewalk broke life! Every moment, countless lives are gestating and being born; Countless lives fall and fall like meteors. In the same sunshine, every life is wonderful! The meaning of existence lies not in the size of the body, its position in the world and its IQ … but in the connotation of being alive. Dragonflies' wings are as thin as cicadas' wings and are worryingly fragile. However, when it glides gently in the air, we hear the sound of tenacity and wings rubbing against time. It is unhurried and disciplined, as if flying in an eternal day. Small wings, carrying transparent dreams, chasing Kuafu's back and keeping pace with the times! Give your heart to your dreams; Life is destined to fly forever!
Wonderful works, not summarized in the annals of classical Chinese, not expressed in words, are by no means so narrow, only a few words, which contain everything in the world and are closely related to every living thing! Well, Rui Xian did it. -famous screenwriter Fu Zhongwen
Only writers who can master a variety of genres can become masters gradually. This kind of writer can write good works no matter what literary genre he tries to write. This is a gift, an elusive ability. It should be said that Rui Xian is such a writer. Although her name has not been known by more people in the literary world, her words have shown us some enviable talents she was born with. As a close disciple of Shen, a famous playwright in China, she is good at script creation, and novels, essays, poems, fairy tales and even critical texts are published in various literary journals. She is a typical cross-style writer. Except that most of her plays are based on historical figures and events, her novels and essays are deeply rooted in the soil of her life. By examining her family, regional history and realistic destiny, she reveals the fateful situation and irresistible survival joys and sorrows of people living on the earth. But her poems are more based on her own life experience, confirming and showing her relationship with the surrounding world. No matter what genre, Rui Xian's works have a melancholy background of sadness, Excellence, tenacity and gazing at suffering from her life experience. The tenderness and sadness of motherhood, or the irretrievable survival ending of the characters in the works, are constantly surging between the lines, so that readers can't restrain their emotions, or fall into the ebb and flow of the scene ... Ruixian's works are not only a regional history, but also a spiritual history, which basically constitutes a life narrative that reflects each other's individual survival and the fate of the times.
