Ai Wei has become famous in the Chinese literary world. He is one of the representative writers of China's "post -60s". He has authored a novel "Wind and the Day" and "Comrade Lover", etc., and has won various awards many times. Some works are translated abroad.

I believe that the strength of the Zhejiang Army in literature. This era has the spirit of Zhejiang spirit.

Writer Ai Wei

Literature cares about Zhejiang's land

Reporter: For many years of creation in Zhejiang, how do you think of the status of Zhejiang literature?

Ai Wei: Zhejiang has a deep literary tradition. To this day, I think Zhejiang is undoubtedly a large province of literature. We have well -known writers such as Yu Hua and Mai Family. The overseas communication of the Mai family works can be called a miracle of Chinese literature.

Outside of them, a group of writers born in the 1960s, such as Wangshou, Wu Xuan, Zhong Qiuyi, etc. have attracted the attention of the literary world; "The writer won an important award in the literary world; it is worth mentioning the emerging writer. In recent years, dozens of young novelists such as Qi Yuan, Zhang Ji, Leimo, Chi Shangshang have been quickly followed by important domestic literature and journals and created. The quantity and quality are very happy, which is very rare in other provinces.

Reporter: Next, what do you plan to do something for Zhejiang literary world?

Ai Wei: The writer's writing is an extremely secretive personal labor that requires talent, effort and luck. In the process of writer writing, the power of the organization is limited. At this point, I will respect the rules of creativeness and do not have a good job.

At the same time, I think that when a writer wrote a good work, the writer association can make a difference and can help the writer, such as promoting the work, including overseas promotion. In this era of information, a variety of methods can be used to push the writers to society and enter the readers in an all -round way.

There must be the pursuit of "looking at the end of the world"

Reporter: Can you share your creative experience with readers? I heard that your literary enlightenment starts with "Centennial Loneliness"?

Ai Wei: Yes. My major in school is to study architecture. In this life, I have become a rigorous engineer. But when I was young, I met Marx. He asked me to know that the novel could be written so freely. I could fly to it regardless of the actual logic.

This book ignites my enthusiasm for literature. I started reading journals and paid attention to our literary thoughts in our country in the 1980s. I was surprised to find that the impact of this book on Chinese writers was so great. It can be said that root -seeking literature in the 1980s was largely paid tribute to "Hundred Years of Solitude". Later I started writing. I have to admit that the first long "Cross -country Run" completed in 1999 was influenced by "Centennial Loneliness".

Reporter: For so many years, have you not been able to write it?

Ai Wei: I remember in 2009, I finished writing "Wind and the Day". At that time, there was a feeling of being hollowed out. It had a long time and almost couldn't write.

Later, in 2010, after half a year of rest, I wanted to write a transitional work as a pastime. At first, I just wanted to write a fool. His story comes from my neighbor. This fool was our joy that year. After he worked, he hid the money in a honeycomb coal cake, and he told us that the money would be used for his wife in the future. But many years later, he found that the money hidden in the coal cake was rotten and became gray. He cried. I wrote this character into the novel and had a story of the novel "Southern". Reporter: Do a writer require a sense of mission?

Ai Wei: Yes, writing is difficult, and sometimes you need a sense of mission to persist. Today, for a writer, this era provides extremely rich experience. As a container that accommodates human experience, its sensitive tentacles can extend to all levels of life and spirit. The writer is an appreciation, collector, and recorder of the experience of the times. This is the responsibility of the writer who lives in this era.

The real world is noisy. Materials have strong power. Everyone is seduced by varying degrees. Today, it is particularly rare to bear lonely writing. In the final analysis, writing is a lonely career. Since writing is the fate of a writer, we can only receive this loneliness. The road of literature is an ancient man, and there are comes in the future, but for the writers, the same is the same as the heavens and the earth. Writing writers always need a high pursuit of "looking at the end of the world".

Pass the contemporary Zhejiang story

Reporter: Are most of your writing based on this land in Zhejiang?

Ai Wei: I have written a lot of stories about the south, which is full of style in the south. In the territory of Chinese literature, the south has always been an important existence. In classical poetry, the image of the south is also deeply rooted in people's hearts. The mountains and rivers and lakes in the south seem to be prone to miracles. The people who tell stories are obsessed with this legend, always trying to open another possibility of life, and explore the territory of possible humanity, thereby stimulating our increasingly solid daily life and their experience.

Reporter: What does China mean for the writer in this era?

Ai Wei: Each generation of writers has their own mission. Today, our reality is full of excitement. The richness, broadness and fullness of reality experience. I work hard in long novels such as "Wind and the Day", "Midsummer" and "Southern" and other novels. I will continue in the future.

At this point, Shawholov's "Quiet Dun River" made an example for us. "Quiet Dun River" seems to grow from the earth, and its experience is rich and complicated. Xiao Hollov has experienced the revolution in person, and he was fair and loyal to record the sentient beings in the revolutionary era, recorded the personal heartbeat of the torrent of the era, and recorded their ideals, ambitions, and selfish desires. Looking at this work, I am always amazed. Only those who have traveled can capture such subtle and vivid experiences.

Reporter: How to assume the mission to literature given by the new era? Can you share some of your personal experience with literary workers in the province?

Ai Wei: I think good literary creation must always participate in the spiritual life of the Chinese people. It is so small that the Chinese people are warm and the Chinese people play a role in building a personality. Our country is undergoing profound and vivid changes. Everything that happened in China today is like a myth of creation. It is magnificent and earth -shaking. We live in it and witnessed this process. Life is always the mother of creation. The experience of Fengrun's era is the endless treasure that the creators take.
