China News Service, Beijing, July 25th (Reporter Gao Kai) ""Wild Hope" opens a window for us to re-understand China's contemporary countryside", writer Fu Xiuying's new novel "Wild Hope" has recently been released, in this focus on the countryside of the new era. In the works of traditional and new changes, the pattern and atmosphere of the contemporary new countryside are slowly unfolded in the writer's pen, vividly.
The "Wild Hope" new book sharing meeting was held recently. He Shaojun, a famous critic and vice president of the Chinese Contemporary Literature Research Association, Zhang Li, a famous critic and a professor at the School of Literature of Beijing Normal University, Song Song, deputy editor-in-chief of Selected Novels, and the author of this book Fu Xiuying discussed in depth the changes in the countryside in the new era and the artistic charm of the novel in the novel "Wild Hope".
"Wild Hope" is a chronicle of a peasant family's age, and it is also inextricably linked to a village.
The twenty-four chapters of the book are named after the twenty-four solar terms, completing an orderly reincarnation.
The scenery changes quietly throughout the year, and there are subtle turning points between the seasons, and people and nature always coexist in harmony.
The twists and turns of daily life, the wind and the grass, the high mountains and the low waters, echo each other and mirror each other with the ups and downs of life in the times.
He Shaojun sighed that this is a novel that only Fu Xiuying can write, "Fangcun written in the book is Fu Xiuying's literary hometown, she is not telling a legendary story, not using a very empty plot to attract our attention. , but to tell us about daily life and immerse us in the taste of daily life. This is the special feature of Fu Xiuying's writing style."
In Zhang Li's opinion, "Wild Hope has written a new era of the countryside, not only can see the consistent daily life of Chinese rural areas, but also writes about the very fresh and unfamiliar side of the countryside, which opens the door for us to re-understand the Chinese contemporary A window to the countryside." Zhang Li also emphasized Fu Xiuying's writing style, giving people a feeling of speaking clearly, "This novel, any page you turn to, you can quickly enter the work. It does not Engaging people with dramatic or sharp conflict, but focusing on the daily life of thin water. So this is a long novel that is both traditional and modern, old and new, old and new, and can give readers a good read feel".
Song Song mentioned that "Wild Hope" received a lot of feedback from readers after it was published.
One of the readers asked the author what place in Hebei is he describing?
Is Fangcun fictional or does it exist?
Fu Xiuying replied, "Fangcun is a fictitious name, but the village is a real one. It's actually some villages, a collection of many villages in northern China, a collective."
Regarding the impressive landscape descriptions in the book, He Shaojun believes that Fu Xiuying's landscape descriptions are integrated with her daily life writing. Poultry, etc., constitute the elements of her daily life in the countryside. Fu Xiuying writes landscapes in such an overall category, so her landscape descriptions seem casual, and are often closely related to the situation in which she writes about daily life. It is closely linked with the actions of the characters and the hearts of the characters. Her landscape descriptions can often set off the psychological state of the people at that time.”
Zhang Li even put the landscape description of "Wild Hope" into the tradition of the entire literary history for analysis, "In Chinese literary tradition, scene description has always been very important, in fact it is a very important part of the lyrical tradition. When I read Xiuying's novels, I also thought of a novelist who wrote very well about the scenery of Jizhong Plain - Mr. Sun Li. Sun Li wrote "Lotus Lake" and "Baiyangdian Chronicle", there are many Jizhong Plain scenery, but it is not just scenery. As Mr. He Shaojun said, it is integrated with people, affairs, and emotions. Therefore, a very important feature in the Chinese lyrical literary tradition is that all scenes are emotional. In other words, the scenery you see is actually the externalization of your mood or your emotions, and all the scenery is imbued with personal emotions.”
In Zhang Li's view, "Wild Hope" is like this.
The landscapes in "Ambition" are not just landscapes, but form part of the entire novel's plot, story, and characters' destiny.
From "Moshang" to "Other Country", to "Wild Hope", many people believe that Fu Xiuying has completed a "trilogy".
In this regard, Fu Xiuying said frankly that this was an inevitable choice, "After writing "Moshang", I still have a lot of things to say to the village, readers, and life. "At the same time, I started writing "Ambition" almost non-stop. For more than ten years, I have been writing almost every day, every day with my novels and my characters, which is actually in my mind. The village and my hometown have been getting along day and night. It can be said that I have never left Fangcun or the hometown. Although "Other Country" wrote about the process of going out of the hometown to the city, the spiritual background of this character and the spiritual base of his hometown, It's all there."
Fu Xiuying, a contemporary writer, is the author of the novels "Moshang", "Other Country", novel collections "Love Is Everywhere", "Zhu Yan Ji", "Beautiful Moon", "Splendid", etc., and has won many literary awards.
