China News Service, Beijing, September 27 (Reporter Ying Ni) The latest novel "Dear Honey" by the "post-80s" flag-bearer writer Di An was recently launched by the People's Literature Publishing House. The novel is based on single mother Cui Lianyi and Xiong Mobei. The development of love as a clue, based on the interaction between Xiong Mobei and Cui Lianyi's daughter Cheng Honey, explores the dimensions of the adult's mind and emotional world. The softness of a child dissolves the hardness and rationality of the adult world.
The book is based on Dean's reproductive experience, but as a novel, she needs to deal with the relationship between experience and fiction.
The novel is based on the perspective of a male character Xiong Mobei, and at the same time shows readers two levels of meaning, one is at the level of love, the other is at the level of children, but both end in self-revelation.
The love difficulties encountered by the present-style Big Bear and the growth and perplexities encountered by the past-style Big Bear were fully demonstrated through Di An's writing.
At the new book sharing meeting a few days ago, Di An said that the novel was not intended to be written for such a long time, but after writing it, it linked the psychological shadow of Xiong Mobei's mother's miscarriage and loss of her sister during her youth, and suddenly realized that she was writing a novel born in eighth The first half of a person's life in the zero years.

Dean has always been concerned about the lives of contemporary people. In this novel, she also explores the problems that contemporary people want to love but dare not love.
In the novel, Cui Lianyi and Xiong Mobei consider each other. When advancing and retreating, they must consider the judgment of each other caused by past emotional experience. Cui Lianyi must also face the responsibility of parenting, and this responsibility means That love is no longer the problem between her and him, and the problem of the child.
Zhang Li, a professor and critic at the School of Literature of Beijing Normal University, said that the contemporary life described in this novel makes readers feel a kind of warmth, a kind of love, and even a little hope. I don’t want to love anymore, I’m all lying flat, I don’t believe in love.
What's so special about this work is that it allows us to regain our confidence in love.
The male protagonist Xiong Mobei has also been married twice. This is the third time in love. Cui Lianyi has a failed marriage, so in a sense, these are two people who have failed in the love story. A story of a loser who faces love again.
At the sharing meeting, two male writers Shi Yifeng and Ding Dingzhang talked about the difficulty of female writers in creating male characters.
Shi Yifeng thinks that Di An has empathized with this male character, and this time to see Cui Lianyi from Xiong Mobei, this is an amazing attempt.
Ding Ding Zhang thinks that Di An has written a good yearning for boys, "We found it very difficult to write a script or create a male character, but Xiong Mobei's views on the world, love, and children are very friendly and clean. ,pure."
In fact, "Dear Honey" can be regarded as a new creative aspect of Di Security, which stems from the change of her life role after she became a mother, projecting her life experience into writing.
Starting from her debut novel "Sister's Jungle", Di An has the courage to expand the boundaries of her writing and deepen her brushstrokes into various themes.
In the "Dragon City Trilogy," Dean traces the growth of a generation, showing a family's love-hate entanglement.
Since then, "You Lingyang in the South" explored the possibility of historical writing, and "Jingheng Street" touched on the ups and downs of urban life, revealing Dian's writing desire to explore unknown areas.
And in "Dear Honey", Di'an's sharp edge, the ups and downs of love and hatred are no longer, replaced by the small moments of daily life.
The continuous enrichment of experience and the indifference through the vicissitudes of life make Di An's writing "grow up" again.
She infiltrated the text with every bit of her feelings about getting along with children, showed the emotional life of urban men and women in a "moisturizing and silent" way, and presented readers with the ideal vision of the adult world. The caring of the heart and other values.
