China News Service, Beijing, June 30 (Reporter Gao Kai) If the People's Liberation Army is a melting pot, then the military school is the cradle of officers.

In the novel "Looking at the Mountains and Rivers" by Zeng Jian, a new generation of military writers, the writer uses his own personal experience as the background to restore the vigorous and unforgettable military school life of contemporary soldiers for readers.

　　"Looking at Mountains and Rivers is not a coming-of-age novel in the traditional sense. Compared with other military academy novels and youth literature, it is less pure and romantic, and a little more complicated and agile." At the sharing meeting of the work held a few days ago , writer and critic Gao Haitao said, "The Mountain and River Watch narrates the unforgettable experiences of a generation of young soldiers, highlights responsibilities and missions, and is an excellent military novel, but as a growth narrative, this book also contains diverse In these young people, there are certain goals, the ideals and beliefs of soldiers, the ignorance of youth, the confusion of love, and the thinking of many uncertainties and possibilities.”

　　Writer Liu Enbo believes that "Looking at Mountains and Rivers" is the portrayal, retrospect and retrospect of a period of personal life history experienced by the writer. It is Zeng Jian's work of sincerity, emotion and spirituality.

He said, "There are many voices, perceptions, and life experiences in the book, all of which are the essence of Zeng Jianzeng's life experience as an individual in the military academy. He and his characters belong to the integration of water and milk, and at the same time are beyond his own. The characters form a fading effect, which is both experienced and fading."

　　Zhou Rong, a writer and deputy dean of the Liaoning Academy of Arts, noted the characteristics of writers when creating characters, "He is always writing small characters, and at the same time he does not shy away from the cuteness, ingenuity, and bugs of small characters. Sunlight and shadow are always related. Come on, life must be mottled." It's these little faults that make the characters more endearing.

In addition, at the scene of the event, Zhou Rong called for more young people and college students from non-military schools to be able to read such works.

She said, "Every era has its difficulties, and everyone has his own suffering. Through works like this, we should give young people an understanding that life itself is full of trials and tribulations. Modern people often Saying that you are facing enormous pressure in life, in fact, it implies a kind of thought that 'life should be comfortable, and a comfortable life is waiting for us', but life and the richness of life are not what they imagined, they should be It comes from learning by doing.”
