China News Service, Guangzhou, June 26 (Reporter Cheng Jingwei) Long March decryption and text decoding - "Wujiang Yin" Guangzhou seminar and sharing event was held in Guangzhou on the 26th.
Experts and scholars at the meeting believed that "Wujiang Yin" is a long novel based on accurate and testable historical facts, breaking the boundary between documentary and fiction, and is commendable in the exploration of modernity in terms of theme, structure, narrative, person and language. .
Pompeii's new novel, "Wujiang Yin", was jointly published by the People's Literature Publishing House and Huacheng Publishing House in early March this year, with a first print of 50,000 copies.
"Wujiang Yin" presents another legend of the Long March epic, a little-known secret force, which is the Second Bureau of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission with the "three decipherers" Zeng Xisheng, Cao Xiangren, and Zou Bizhao as the main decipherers.
They used the early wireless communication technology to detect the enemy's signal, and almost successfully deciphered all the encrypted information of the Kuomintang army, which played a crucial role in breaking through the siege again and again for the Red Army.
The Long March of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army is a magnificent picture of the Chinese revolution.
However, novels on the theme of the Long March are actually very rare. It seems that only Wei Wei's "Red Ribbon on the Earth" can be mentioned in the past, and Wang Shuzeng's "Long March" in recent years, but the former is traditionally written, and the latter is a non-fiction novel.
"Wujiang Yin" presents a new way of writing pure literature. He Shaojun, vice president of the Chinese Contemporary Literature Research Association, commented that Pompeii broke the fixed concept of fiction and documentary, and he completely expanded the function of the novel, allowing We see a new feature of fiction.
This is a stylistic breakthrough, which is very revolutionary and innovative.

Zhang Lijun, a professor at the School of Literature of Jinan University, believes that "Wujiang Yin" breaks the single narrative mode, organically integrates fiction and documentary with a novel story structure, and constructs the technical aesthetics of modern revolutionary narrative in a variation of virtual and reality.
"The important reason for the success of "Wujiang Yin" is that the author Pompeii has done a lot of desk work, including data investigation, field research, and interviews with descendants, which has laid a solid foundation for this novel, so that there is a kind of reading between it and readers. The contract creates a sense of trust." Xie Youshun, a professor at Sun Yat-Sen University, said that the novel did not pile on the narrative, but made choices instead of being completely submerged in historical facts.
Li Denan, a young critic, said that when it comes to the writing of epic literary works, many people think that such works need a huge narrative volume.
However, in such a context, "Wujiang Yin" shows prudence and simplicity in its narrative, and is presented in only a few hundred thousand words.
This also shows that epic works do not necessarily have to be very long.
