Where is the book review for the return trip?

Li Yang's novel Where to Go is rooted in the excellent cultural tradition of the motherland. Although this flower is still delicate, it is bright and gives people a pure beauty! Yes, pure literature has been at a low ebb in recent years, and there are really few excellent works.

"Where to Return" is a sensation in this predicament! This 25-year-old girl, who doesn't keep up with fashion, only writes about headless body, abnormal condition and nudity, and ranks among the so-called "beauty writers". She pays close attention to the fate of this era with a sincere heart and full of blood, and absorbs the nutrition of the excellent culture of the motherland. In fact, her success has sounded the alarm for the China literary world, which is at a low ebb: the direction of literary creation in China literary world should rise from inheritance!

After the 1970s, talented women gathered in China's literary world. This group of female writers who are labeled as "new human literature" are often looking for novel love stories depicting "otherness". There is ridicule under the pen tip, and "fashion" jumps between words, treating the things of ancestors as old clothes and refusing to "wear out". Foreign goods are getting better and better overseas, and even foreign garbage can be regarded as a treasure. Works win by novelty and stimulate people's senses. Of course, it can also have a sensational effect. But this sensational effect is the same as those cheap applause, because it lacks foundation and vitality!

Li Yang has a very good saying. From a deeper perspective, he clearly proposed to inherit and carry forward the excellent cultural traditions of the motherland:

Some people say that 2 1 century is the century of the East and China people, and "China" will undoubtedly be a long-term topic. It is the common wish of everyone in China to spread our splendid culture of 5,000 years to the world and let the world know about China. However, when we tirelessly study western culture and other countries are deeply studying our ancient and profound literature, history, philosophy and art, many of us forget our traditional culture.

We have read Shakespeare, Byron, Shelley, Whitman, Dickens, Jane Austen, Charlotte Brontexq, Hemingway and Kafka, but we have forgotten our own Qu Yuan, Tao Yuanming, Li Bai, Du Fu, Li Qingzhao, Su Shi, and even pre-Qin hundred schools of thought, who started the source of Chinese civilization. We never thought that when we threw our sad tears at Jane Eyre, a strong and independent English girl, lovers on the other side of the ocean were crying for Sister Lin, who was "as quiet as a flower, as weak as a willow, and as grateful as pure quality".

We never knew that when we talked about Schopenhauer's voluntarism, Nietzsche's superman philosophy, Bergson's intuitionism, Sartre's existentialism and Freud's psychoanalysis, western scholars were immersed in our glorious philosophy of "correspondence between heaven and man" and the unity of heaven and man in the pre-Qin period. The pre-Qin philosophers who were active more than two thousand years ago played the overture of our Chinese civilization. Taking the relationship between man and nature as the background, they started from exploring the value of human life, aiming at pursuing ideal personality and seeking everyone's due responsibility in social harmony. It is these thoughts that cast the subject spirit and mainstream culture of the Chinese nation.

When we vigorously break the shackles of old-style poetry and enter the vernacular, the west is translating our Tang poetry and Song poetry word by word, creating a famous imagist poem headed by Pound, which in turn is highly praised by us. And all this, we today's young people know very little, can not but say that it is a regret, a regret.

When reading Li Yang's novel Where is the Return, I was thinking about such a question: Where is the living soil of China's literary world, pure literature or popular literature? Is it because of the so-called "innovation", "westernization" and "following the fashion" to win the cheap applause of today's impetuous readers? Arouse their curiosity? Give them stimulants for three to five days? Or take root, blossom and bear fruit in the fertile soil of the splendid and excellent culture of the Chinese nation for 5 thousand years? Absorb the fresh air of western civilization with the healthy body of the Chinese nation? Obviously, the latter road should be chosen to revitalize China's literary world. If you go along the old road, you can only die.

Writer Lao Tun read Li Yang's book and sighed: I have read half of your book, which is almost a contemporary "cry". How shocking! In fact, some writers' works have a certain depth of thought, and they also want their works to become the "cry" of the contemporary era. However, it is a great pity that they try to get rid of the "traditional bondage" completely, domineering and despising everything, and fail to take root in the fertile soil of the Chinese nation, and the result is of course counterproductive. You turned a corner and used a strange paragraph; Let people guess your insight into things and the profound social problems exposed by your innuendo in seemingly incomprehensible language, which may win applause from people in several circles. After all, it is of course difficult to leave your own track in the long river of history when you hear the voices of the masses. To our delight, Li Yang, a 25-year-old female writer, had a very good position from the beginning: to spread our splendid culture for 5,000 years to the world and let the world know that China is the common aspiration of all China people.

Because she found the right position, her works burst into the fragrance of the splendid culture of the Chinese nation for 5 thousand years. You see her psychological description of Jiang is like this:

"Jiang, jiang, why are you still thinking about this? You have to know how much your dream has sacrificed for you. " He kept cursing himself in his mind. When he thinks of my dream, he will feel that he is enveloped and surrounded by a kind of happiness, and his heart will be full of warmth and sweetness. For him, Qin Meng gave up his further study and the great opportunity to stay in Shanghai. Even if she doesn't want to stay in Shanghai, she still has her hometown, a small bridge and flowing water, exquisite and elegant, which combines the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River, a world-famous garden and world food, and is known as Suzhou, the first romantic talent in the south of the Yangtze River. A night stop near Fengqiao aroused the poet's endless reverie, so there was "Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City, and the midnight bell rang to the passenger ship."

"Jiangnan can pick lotus, and lotus leaves can go to the ground." Qin Meng's gentle voice floated into his ears again, and the happy picture of them boating in the West Lake passed before his eyes again.

The sun is setting, clouds are lingering, water and sky are one color, white sails are a little bit, and fishing boats sing late.

"Jun to gusu, the somebody else do pillow river. Ancient palaces had little idle land and many small bridges in water lanes. Buy lotus roots at night market, and Spring Festival travel rush will continue to lead the way. I know from a distance that acacia is a fishing song on a moonlit night. " A whispering voice flowed into the heart lake of Jiang.

How beautiful the above passage is! How the fragrance of chinese heritage erupts! The following paragraph is of course a stroke of genius:

The fishing boat on the riverside sings the song of the late moonlight night, and the night is quiet, accompanied by the Humble Administrator's Garden and the lingering garden, accompanied by the stone forest and the deep bamboo promenade in Qingtan. He is intoxicated and smiles and says to her, "One day I will learn from Su Zimei and buy the Canglang Pavilion for you." Qin Meng shook his head like an old pedant and replied, "Alas! The breeze and bright moon are priceless, but it is only worth 40 thousand. " As they talked, they couldn't help laughing at each other, but they were fascinated. Canglang Pavilion in the south of Suzhou is the oldest private garden in Suzhou, where Su Shunqing, a famous poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, once landed. Ouyang Xiu said in a poem: "The breeze and bright moon are priceless, but it is only worth 40 thousand." That's what it means. Later, Su Shunqing made a series of sentences: "The breeze and the bright moon are priceless, and the moon is affectionate first." It is still engraved on the pavilion column and has become a famous association through the ages. Later, Han Shizhong and Liang Hongyu also lived in this park.

Sanqiu Guizi, ten miles of lotus flowers, winding green water, long grass embankment, green trees like clouds, still shadows and heavy walls.

The boat is short and glazed. He and Qin Meng are rippling in the light waves of the West Lake, reminiscing about the past and singing Wu Chu. Unconsciously, when the ship moved, it rippled. Water looks like a beautiful woman's eyes, like a beautiful frown. Which way do you want to ask pedestrians? To the intersection of mountains and rivers. A cool breeze blows gently, and a beautiful woman smiles like a flower. Is it the West Lake or the West Lake? Is it a dream or a dream? Jiang has gone crazy: I just hope that time will stay here and never pass; I just want to learn, go boating with my teacher and live a poetic life as a fairy couple. A thousand dollars is easy to get, but a bosom friend is hard to find. Su Causeway, Huagang, Broken Bridge, everywhere and every sound made him linger. Touched, he pointed to the green water in the distance and said, "One day, I must follow Tao Zhu's example and row with you to build a room for you here. What should I call it? " There are Canglang Pavilion in the famous garden and Shuiyunxuan in the West Lake. Let's call it Shuiyunxuan! "

No wonder some readers commented that the place of return is a modern stone!

Where to Go, with the protagonist Jiang as the main line, runs through the novel and is a spiritual transformation history of intellectuals born in the 1970s. Mainly through his love with Qin Meng and Lin Fei, two completely different heroines, he completed the shaping of this character. Some critics say: the novel is less than 200 thousand words, which has a feeling of long and short reading. The story is not complicated. Taking the protagonist Jiang as the main line, this paper outlines Jiang's life course of "pursuit-disillusionment-depravity" from all kinds of life experiences he encountered when he went to school and entered the society to participate in work, as well as his love and sorrow with Qin Meng and two women with different styles.

Then, why is this "story is not complicated" novel with less than 200,000 words so powerful in today's literary world? ! In addition to the writer's contemporary "crying", the aura of our ancestors' excellent culture also helped her! Her profound knowledge of classical literature is of course due to her mother. Her mother should have a unique vision and let her bathe in the glory of the excellent culture of the Chinese nation since she was a child. She wrote in the article "The Balance of Memory":

I like China's classical literature, especially ancient poems, since I was a child. I still remember my son often chanting after his mother: "Jiangnan is good, and the scenery was once familiar." Sunrise is better than fire, and spring is as blue as blue, so I can't forget Jiangnan. "This is the first word I recite, and it is also the word I know best, and it is also the word I want to teach when I see a lively and lovely little girl. My mother is a Chinese teacher in middle school, so she attaches great importance to my early training. Her goal is to break through the literacy barrier and recite hundreds of poems before I go to primary school. At that time, there were not many classical literature books at home, so my mother took the ancient poems in her middle school Chinese teacher's manual and taught me to read and recite them sentence by sentence. Now, when I open the yellowed pages, I can't help feeling deeply when I look at the sentences marked in red ink, the new words with notes in the margins of each page, and the crooked handwriting when I was a child. How much sweat and hard work my mother has gathered here.

Li Yang told me that when she wrote this book, she was at a loss. This is true not only for individuals and families, but also for society and the country. Great changes have taken place in society, traditional moral values have been broken, and the new moral value system has not been fully established. How to choose, where to go, how to face the reality, and how to face the future, she believes that these are worthy of consideration by everyone who has a sincere heart for the motherland, especially young people. Therefore, she wants to write a history book with a confused heart and turn her worries into a sad song.

The dominant idea of her creation is that emotions are expressed in words, which is the motive force of literature, so she wants to express and let more people know about her, her thoughts, specifically, the ideals and sentiments of her generation. She pursues literary aestheticism. She really wants to create a precedent for prose and poetic novels. Her language is particularly beautiful. These are of course the results of her long-term influence on classical literature and American literature.

The writer Gao Xulun sympathizes with her talent. When commenting on Reading Li Yang and her novel Where to Return, he said with great emotion: I don't want to make any necessary criticism according to the old way of book review. I am facing such a lovely girl, so young but so talented, and with such a strong sense of mission. Where can I find fault? I deeply feel that this is an excellent work written by an excellent girl.

Yes, I have a similar mentality, and I deeply feel that this is an excellent work written by an excellent girl. But I still want to say, what? On this trip to Jiuzhaigou, I was lucky enough to meet Li Yang on my way through Chengdu. That was June 65438+1October 65438+May 2002. She came by bus from Deyang in a hurry. It's time for lunch. My cousin and I are waiting for her in a hotel. When the bus left Deyang, she called me. She called me several times along the way to inform me where their car is now and there was a traffic jam on the road.

The problem now is that she brought this "enthusiasm" for dealing with people to her creation. This has to involve the fatal weakness of this work, which can be summarized in eight words: more unrestrained and less reserved. The writer herself thinks that she is actually very ideal, romantic and beautiful, but this is not allowed in real life. This is her Where to Return. The front is very classical, beautiful, full of pastoral joy, the second half is very modern and realistic, the city is bustling and impetuous, and life is changeable and helpless. Although she writes love novels, most people who know it know that many of them are actually the contradictions and conflicts between two emotions in her heart, and then they are formed through some artistic processing.

No matter what form her literary creation pursues, because she is rooted in the fertile soil of Chinese civilization for 5,000 years, the blood of the descendants of dragons flows in her veins, and the aura of the descendants of emperors runs through her breath, so her eyes are still clear! Her future creative direction is very clear, and her future is infinitely bright! Yes, she inherited the inheritance. On the basis of inheriting the excellent cultural traditions of the Chinese nation, she developed and formed Where to Go? I think: China's literary world should also rise in the inheritance, carry forward the things of our ancestors in the inheritance, and find a way back for her revival!

This "idealism" feature is the main line of the protagonist's psychological activities as a reward, which is much thicker than the context of the novel events. Generally speaking, novels are good at narrating and unfolding complex plots. However, the story of Return is extremely simple: young Jiang abandoned his traditional poor girlfriend Qin Meng, fell in love with a modern rich girl, and was finally abandoned, deeply confused about his future and had no choice. After reading the book, I don't feel thin and shallow at all, but I feel that this book is as heavy as my heart. This novel is not good at event narration, but good at psychological description. I once said in a forum that the name Qin Menglu can be used to interpret the psychological activities of the protagonist Jiang: from the dream lover, to the dream of life, to disillusionment, to the dream of farewell, the old dream is difficult to round ... Alas, can you really blame the bright moon in Qin Dynasty? It is classical and elegant, and the stars are hard to show. Jiang's dull heartbeat is actually not like the waves on Huangpu River or orange island, but as thin as the stationery he sent to Qin Meng.

The characteristic of "aestheticism" is that "regression" is an absolutely beautiful tragedy. The author fully shows the profound accumulation of her classical literature, and the novels seem to be flowing, but in fact they are carefully selected. For example, quoting poems and creating poems are handy and natural. Many embarrassing words and sentences often make my eyes shine. Because of the beautiful words, I feel a pair of dexterous wings and enjoy the beauty in my heavy body and mind. This also freed my mind from the oppression of the novel.
